What up, gang?
Yo, yo. What up, OG?
Triple OG? OG OG triple triple Not shit
Not shit
Just you know doing my normal thing
Watching all the episodes of anime
Then writing reviews in my discord
For it
Nice nice what are you watching
Today we had
Windbreaker season 2 drop wait it dropped today uh yeah oh well hell yeah
so let me let me preface this um technically it's supposed to drop tomorrow but i don't watch on
crunchy rolling shit so it dropped today for me okay you watching you watching like nine anime or i'm watching on high anime same
shit okay same shit yeah exactly season two dropped uh episode one you know i i'm a little
little watch through it picked up right where it left off you know when them going to fight the
the gang keel or whatever yeah and then i watched uh a brilliant new healers life uh or
new life in the shadows just to see what that was about nothing crazy you could probably just skip
it for the season but it's it's pretty okay no standout characters nothing like that and then
i watched please put them on takamine son um that's a gunner anime for sure for sure
okay i'm gonna check that out you said takamine oh you're gonna do it for research purposes
gotta go for research purposes yeah yeah so it's uh please put them on takamine son
basically the main the main girl character uh she's like the hottest girl in school and the
main guy character is like the dude lowest on the social totem pole and uh he somehow
while hiding in the gym storage uh unit saw her boobs um and but here's the thing
so when she takes off her bra or her panties, she basically can reset time for what just happened, like, within a certain period of time.
And then once she does that, the clothing item that she took off disappears.
So she actually went to the storage room, apparently, to change, like, her clothes.
But when you see her tits, now you know her secret, and you don't, like, revert
in the time skip with your memory.
So that's basically the premise, and she forced him to become her personal closet.
Wow, that's hilarious.
Damn, I gotta see that shit, bro.
That's some real wafer shit.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That shit's sick.
That is hilarious.
When I say I watch everything, I watch everything.
I just seen that Devil May Cry
finally released on Netflix.
I'm going to watch that too.
I got a packed weekend here.
We got Fire Force.
Fire Force will probably drop tomorrow for me at
least Sunday for a crunchy roll watcher you got sort of the demon hunter which
was the most pleasant yes I came across that once yes I came across you on
picked no I think it was Instagram. I've seen a video.
Somebody was talking about it like, this is going to be a banger.
Bro, first episode, one hour.
Absolutely incredible.
I was literally on the edge of my seat
the entire time I was watching it.
The animation isn't anything like solo leveling quality,
but I would give it like the samurai shampoo area.
Okay, okay. But like the art is beautiful the characters are great and compelling like
the story and premise is just a good like dark vibe you know it's a revenge
plot so it's like fantastic and there's twists and turns which I like like I
wasn't expecting it revenge plot so it was really good i give that one like a
solid nine out of ten oh okay i'm gonna check that one yeah i have it on my watch list i put it on my
watch list i think two episodes are out uh only one uh it was an hour yeah it's only one it's an
hour long oh okay okay okay they came in hot with that I was very surprised yeah that's
wow yeah so that and then yeah it's gonna be a good weekend for anime
PCG mmm is yet to be seen I mean everything looks good I mean obviously
like I've been telling people journey together was to crash the market. And it did. And it did.
I kept telling people, don't buy right now.
Just wait.
The prices will fall.
What happened?
Boy, did they fall.
And they fell hard. They fell with Bitcoin.
Because people, I kept telling people i was like this set is going to be massively printed and it is going to be readily available damn
near everywhere bro target restocked in this week walmart's restocked and they are restocking with a
fuck ton of journey not like oh we got here's four etB. It's like, yeah, we got like this is the ETBs.
We've got all these booster bundles.
So the product is there.
And then the pool rates are actually decent.
So like I kept telling people, y'all just wait,
just wait, do not overpay.
Now, this is where shit comes.
This is where the tariff shit comes in
for those who like the Japanese market and the Korean market and the Chinese market.
And this will eventually affect the U.S. market as well, but it probably will be a trickle effect.
The tariffs will affect the cards.
The prices, like if you like Japanese, if you like collecting Japanese like I do, I like collecting Japanese cards.
These prices will be affected.
Like if you got pre-orders or if you're a shop owner, especially if you like on an online shop or anything like that, distro, anything like that.
And you got pre-orders live, man, you might want to pull those pre-orders.
Take it down off your website because these tariffs like boy people been getting hit over the
head already like let's just put in perspective this journey together this last set to just drop
journey together okay just came out there's a shop in canada that did pre-orders for journey together at an x amount of dollars prior to the tariff change
okay then the tariff change happened they hadn't received their product yet from the u.s
so then once it came they seen the tariff bill and it was like yeah nah we we not eating that cost
was like yeah nah we we not eating that cost so then they canceled now this is the thing they
canceled people's orders okay and then told them if they wanted to keep their order they had to pay
at the new higher price point okay that's just what it is let's be real let's not you know blow
this out of proportion we already paid a tariff price anyway.
It's worked into the overall price.
Just be cognizant that the prices of Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Spanish, German, all these cars prices are going to go up.
Anything that gets imported in is going to go up yeah here's how
y'all not dodging no tariffs yeah hell no hell no and then like here's how the american market is
going to get affected okay all of the shit that comes like in etbs and stuff all that shit's made
in like china so all of that stuff's got to get imported to get pieced together to create etbs
so it will affect the u.s market down the line but i
don't think it's going to hit the market right away but just be you know saying cognizant that
you know saying those prices will fluctuate so but yeah and i mean even if you like doing
individual cards and people already seeing like uh did you see the fucking PSA slab shit?
That shit blew my fucking mind.
I was like, holy shit.
Like a cool grand to get your card back.
Yeah, that's insane.
I was like, yeah, nah.
Yeah, nah, y'all keep that.
Bro, I'm gonna be honest.
I'm pissed about this tariff bullshit.
Like, I'm pissed.
It's fucking a lot of shit up, bro.
Like, a lot of shit.
People aren't ready for how much shit
it's about to fuck up.
You got businesses, like, who like who do like merchandise and clothing that are literally going to shut the fuck down because they can't afford the shit.
I'm dealing with that, too, right now in the flooring industry, bros, because like, where do you where do you think we get our product from, too?
We get it from overseas.
Like all that stuff is made in China, Italy, and all these other places.
We're literally trying to tell our customers now, buy now while you can,
because once all these tariffs hit, the prices are going to go up ridiculous.
There's nothing we could do about it it's not like we did it
but man
it's gonna suck it's gonna hit everything bro
clothing food everything
like I just don't understand
how they don't understand that it's gonna
fuck everything up that bad
like you can't just change things
just like at the drop of a dime
and expect it to be all hunky-dory.
Sorry, I was responding to comments
and shit.
Oh, I thought I was
unmuted. I'm driving. I was saying,
nah, man, like, that
it is fucked up. It doesn't give anybody
the chance to, like, at least, like,
settle in and, like, prepare
for this stuff. Even though I don't think we could
ever be prepared for more
increases on our stuff. Like,
everything is already as expensive
as is, bro. Like, it's crazy
out here.
They'll increase the cost, but
never increase the fucking amount you make it's
fucking crazy right it's it's insane it's insane
get ready for a long ass winter boys
man shit about me get real i mean not granted like i understand you know because
we've been getting hit over the head everywhere else you know what i'm saying like i understand you know because we've been getting hit over the head everywhere else
you know i'm saying like i think japan and china and all them charges like 60 percent where we was
charging them 30 so it was a big difference so i mean in the long run yes it'd be beneficial
however in the short term that's just gonna be pretty painful
when people start i mean but i mean realistically i mean i mean it's just kind of
two things are gonna happen you're gonna stop paying it or you gonna pay it i mean that's just what it is i mean it's okay in my book for like the japan situation because the yen has just been
falling drastically you know what i'm saying so they gotta hit you over the head if you want their shit like they don't have a choice like
they're most of their economy is built off of tourism yeah so it's like how how do we expect
them to not hit us over the head that's why we were being nice you know what i'm saying like not
hitting them over the head but now it's just i don't know man in the long run i could see it maybe playing out but this is just not good right now bro yeah i mean so long run
and not to get on the politics but like long run i can see where beneficial side whereas
now we open up more manufacturing plants and stuff like that in the u.s creating more jobs
help strengthen the economy because now we're not exporting as much
and keeping things in-house.
Yes, extremely beneficial overall.
However, that is a long and grueling process,
and it is not going to be an easy or, you know what I'm saying,
like, soft process.
It's going to be rough.
It's going to be a rough one i only have one concern
with it and that is if you do get all these jobs and manufacturing things open up in the u.s and
i don't want to go on to politics too much either but like you know are they going to even pay
what it's like you know worth to do the job to then afford to live. Cause everything just increased in pricing. You know what I'm saying?
Like that's my biggest concern.
Cause they don't pay shit for like half the fucking jobs you can get just on
the regular. Like,
that's why I stay in web three full time cause I make more money than I ever
would doing a normal job.
Bro. If anybody knows it's me working in the medical field, whether it's EMS,
whether it's in the hospital, you know, I can go to McDonald's. I can go work at Bucky's,
the local gas station here and make more than I make at the hospital, actively helping save lives
because I work in the ER. I can make more being a worker not even
management a worker at a gas station a worker at a at a barbecue spot I can
make more there than I can working at the hospital so the disparities across
the board is just outrageous and that's something that needs to be addressed as well.
But yeah, too much.
Let's swerve back in the collectible world.
Yo, I need me a Mega Dragonite card because they just released that they're going to have a Mega Dragonite and Pokemon ZA.
I'm sorry, this dog is something else.
How many letters are we doing?
ZA now?
What the fuck?
Didn't we have XY or something?
I'm not a Pokemon guy.
Yeah, so we had XY.
That was the, you know, we've had XY as far as, like, games are concerned.
XY, as far as
games are concerned, you have black and white,
heart gold,
silver,
soul silver,
crystal, diamond, pearl,
yellow.
Yeah, I remember diamond, pearl, all that shit,
but I'm just like,
the lettering thing, are we like,
I don't remember, we got EXs,
we got XY.
As far as cards are concerned, there GX is V maxes V's
And I think that's it for like oh well yeah that's it oh megas
All right so it's not crazy to just do another. Okay, alright.
It looked nice though?
Yeah.
I posted a picture of what the Mega Dragonite looks like up top.
Oh, that's kind of sick actually.
Right?
That's like a Dragonair mixed with a Dragonite.
Yes. Yeah, so I'm like all right you know i'm saying
i'm down to see what else uh they drop man i really wish this dog would stop barking that's
all he does he comes out here he barks all day not gonna lie i i think they could have
maybe not done the wings on his head yeah like. Like, if they were going to, like,
I think they could have left it with the,
I mean, I get going with this, right?
We're going for a Hermes thing.
I got it.
Because, you know what I'm saying,
you got the messenger, dragonite,
that whole, you know, trope and theme in Pokemon.
So, they're going with the Hermes, right?
I see it. You know what I'm saying? Wings on the ankles with the Hermes, right? I see it.
You know what I'm saying?
Wings on the ankles, the white wings.
Yeah, I agree.
Either that or made them smaller.
Like I just...
Yeah, like some ear type shit?
Yeah.
Yeah, not like, you know what I'm saying,
these are as big as the ones on my leg.
We just slapped them on my head.
Still nice though, either way. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know Still nice, though, either way.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And, you know, oh, hey, look, man,
if y'all got mega cards in y'all collections,
I would highly recommend starting to go look at those,
go see what kind of condition they're in.
If you want to get something graded, get them graded.
If not, the raw prices of them are going up exponentially.
not the raw prices of them are going up exponentially like my mega I like I've
got mega Gengar like a Charizard no my mega Charizard's gone up like 60 bucks
from like the last two weeks so I would highly recommend checking out some of those mega cards that you got if you have any chilling in your
Your
Closet or wherever they may be
Oh, yeah diamond Larry I hear this doing work
doing work
making dope card holders.
Making dope card holders
But yeah, oh,
let's see, One Piece.
One Piece just dropped.
OP11
fucking has the dope new Luffy card.
Oh, yes.
Yes, it does.
It has the Buddha Luffy.
And they have it in gold and silver.
You know that card out of the package?
The gold one is going for $3,300.
Damn.
I mean, it is nice, though.
It's textured, layered, everything.
That one's $3,300.
Damn, I'm going to have to be buying some One Piece cards is what you're saying?
I was telling y'all, man.
People sleeping on One Piece. They what you're saying? I was telling y'all, man. People sleeping on One Piece.
They got some fire artwork and some fire cards.
Out of that battle arena, like, whole thing, like, which, like, which, which one should you look for?
Yeah, yeah, Union Arena.
Which one should you look for?
Oh, so Union Arena, I mean, if, I'm not, I don't really know.
Go for your, uh, whatever animes you like, right?
If you're going to go play the game,
I would go for whatever animes you like
and then just kind of go from there.
Which ones do they have out already?
They've got One Punch Man, Demon Slayer,
Code Geass, JJK, My hero. Nope, not my hero yet.
They have it in Japanese. Uh, in English, they have Hunter Hunter and bleach.
Yeah. They had some bleach ones at the target by me. I was, I was going to cop,
but I wasn't sure.
Leach is a good, a good set set to pull if you're looking for like
collectability just because like one the bleach cards are harder to find because it's an older
set um but uh they got some fire firework like dude I'm gonna you, you need to download the collector app if you don't have it already. And you can scroll
to, oh, go over to the search section and just type,
just go down to Union Arena and then just kind of scroll through. You can
sort it to, you know, value of the cards and all of
that stuff. So you can sort it by the
sets and everything. they union arena yeah i do have
that app you know you know how they get it um shadowless that they said sorry I was looking at what Jaren posted let's see
yeah we had no collectors a dope thing to keep track of but like they have so later this year kogi i mean not kogi
at union arena has um full metal alchemist sword art online is the next set that's dropping in
english so it should be sword art online then it should go sword art online black clover then full
metal so if any of those in it may tickle your fans you might want to look out for those i know than Full Metal.
So if any of those animes tickle your fans,
you might want to look out for those.
I know the Asta card from Black Clover is going to be like an English exclusive.
So that may be something.
That's definitely something I'm going to check into
because I fuck with Black Clover
and I'm ready for that anime to come back
for the final season.
Keep wishing.
I say that, but...
Huh?
Keep wishing.
Bro, we got a movie and then...
A non-canon movie.
A non-canon movie.
Bro, we got a non-canon movie with power scaling
that is just ridiculous as fuck, bro.
I'm sorry.
I can't get over
it, bro. You're telling
me we got a live
action UU Haka show before we
got Black Clover Return. That's
crazy. Bro, crazy work.
Crazy work. Never
in my day would I have thought that.
Which I ain't gonna hold you.
I fucked with the live action UU.
You You know what?
I'm gonna let you breathe.
I'm gonna let you breathe.
I've seen worse.
They're all bad.
Yes. Yes, they are.
There could never be live action anything
related to anime, but here we are.
seriously trying to think of, you know...
I'll tell you a good one
if you actually want a good one.
I mean, the Roroni Kitchen ones weren't bad.
They were alright.
But, like, Kingdom has literally the
best live actions out of all of them.
That anime
is so slept on, and I know
why. Yeah, because the anime is dog shit.
The first season,
well, no. Just the
first two seasons, the animation
is just hot garbage. Exactly.
However, season three through five, Mappa takes over, and then the animation is just hot garbage exactly however season three through five
mappa takes over and then this animation is fucking phenomenal and the story continues
to be a fucking banger which i'm waiting for the next season i know your ass is happy they
fucking serialized the manga in english finally yes yes i am dude the story is so fucking compelling trust me my friend literally tells me all the time like
you gotta get in the kingdom bro and it's like listen i watched the live action with you
i'm not diving into kingdom bro i'm not bro my homeboy had been trying to put me on
bro my homeboy had been trying to put me on for like a smooth year he was like bro you gotta watch
it bro you gotta watch it bro you gotta watch it and I was like man no I finally had ran out of
shit to watch everything was on hiatus or and I was like all right I put this shit into my queue
a little while ago fuck it I'll watch the first couple episodes I was watching this I was like fucking sucks oh my gosh this shit is
horrid but I was like the story the story's there I was like I'm hang on for
the story I hung on for the story I powered through the first two seasons and I was rewarded with the third because the animation got extremely better and the story just kept getting even better
and better because then they started diving into like side characters, backstories and shit and
it just I mean it really it really built the character development. It was it's really fucking good i just can't do it because like
i'm very picky when it comes to what type of like historical shows i watch like i loved vinland saga
i caved on vinland saga when my homie was harassing me for it and i was like all right fine and i loved it because it's vikings and shit
i could do without like china like i don't really care for china's history in like anime like i like
apothecary diaries that's different but i don't want to see warfare from that specific period. Like, I like Edo China, like Edo period China, because it's like very small scale, very like subtle, like more samurai type vibes.
I could do it.
I'm not a big fan of the conqueror, emperor sort of vibes.
Okay, okay. I agree that. But no, that shit was gas. The live action was vibes. Okay, okay.
I agree with that.
But no, that shit was gas.
The live action was gas as fuck, though.
I will give the live action.
That was gas.
And I think my thing is,
is because I played, like, Dynasty Warriors.
I was big into, like,
that kind of brought me into the Chinese, like, pantheon and learning about, like, their history as well as, like, you know, the gods and whatnot and stuff like that.
Because I was already big into just the culture on that side anyway, being, you know, with anime and shit like that but i was always even when i was young i was obsessed with fucking
ninjas and and samurais and shit and i'm talking like five years old like obsessed
and it just kind of you know then it rolled into like as i started like learning more and then i
got into i had fucking stumbled upon Dynasty Warriors 2 in a circuit city
and was playing that shit.
And that kind of opened the door for the history.
And that's how I kind of dove into that side,
which there's a game out, Grand Archives,
that pulls a lot of source material from that area.
See, I think it's like I'm okay with like certain aspects of the history, right?
Like I really enjoy like the, you know, whole like kung fu vibes.
I enjoy like ninjas. I enjoy the whole vibe of everything.
Like, you know
assassination all that stuff. I would prefer
if it just was more historical based
like without the
warfare because I think that's the part that turned
me off is I don't really
care for the massive scale
wars like I don't really want that.
That's valid. I mean I can
see that. See me I mean
shit I love shit like that so
that's that's probably why it appealed to me on that level like if you can you watch vinland
saga right of course yeah so like if you compare like the the grand like wars of vinland saga it's
like maybe 500 people in a field going hand to hand you know what i'm saying but then you got
like the china ones it's like we have 5 000 soldiers
and i'm like damn that's a lot to keep up with bro you got this side going you got this side
going there's a whole nother little skirmish right here that's popping off yeah you got this dude
getting his like fucking spear through the dome piece like damn bro like body over here just got
crushed by a horse they just got
impaled you know what i'm saying he got his head lopped off right like it's a lot it's a lot it's
it is but i'm telling you dude the anime is other than the first two seasons animation
other than that everything else is gas I mean it's kind of like
berserk you have to get through the shit yes
Oh Lou hold on I get it so shout out to the draft cause he pulled Cynthia's guard chomp
and that's my chase card from Heatwave Arena
the card is just dope
I mean when you break it down and really
look at that card that card is
fucking gas
and not to mention the whole stash
we got back there
yeah I'm looking at the stash bro
oh my gosh bro that's OP05
we got EB02 we got OP OP11. Heatwave Arena.
Tarrasco Festival.
Yeah, man. I'm gonna need you to
hit me in the DMs.
You got
the goods over there.
Who's this guy? You posted it up top?
It should be the first picture.
Shit, I'm gonna need him to leave
some for the rest of us.
Goddamn.
Yo, for real.
What's good, man?
What's good?
Yo, drive.
I need that.
Let me get a box.
It's one box.
Good looking.

We'll roll big doinks oh oh oh oh oh yo no you move smokey I'm gonna have to dip him to the waking day funs. I uh...
Whoa, where'd he go?
Can y'all still hear me?
Yeah, I'm here.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, nah, he just...
He just dropped.
I think he thought he was rugging. He probably just got home and that's why.
He's probably in the elevator.
Yo? just got home and that's why he's probably in the elevator yo elevator vibes do be a ruin the shit yo yo was you in the elevator he put honey yep yeah i called it
i figured that's what happened but yeah nah uh
but yeah bro my bad you were right yep elevator you already know the time you already know man
coming home from work i already knew elevator always messed me up i think it's also like once
i come into the apartment logging and then then it connects to the Wi-Fi
and all that good stuff.
Yeah.
And then, not for nothing, but then wifey,
there's mashed potatoes, asparagus,
and some really good steak here just waiting for me.
Oh, shout out to Mrs. Mad Park.
I think this is a New York strip.
It's about to be tasty. Oh my god. Delicious. Oh hey for you dads out there and men with significant others, apparently when they're on their period, their time of the month. If you give them a steak on day one,
it helps with their pain and stuff and stuff and stuff.
So fix them a steak and they'll be less cranky.
We give all kinds of alpha here, guys.
You know, I love, I love steaks. So I'm going to definitely, you know I love I love steaks
so I'm gonna definitely
you know
try that out you're gonna hand it to her
and even explain it and be like
I heard that this shit
babe
take this babe
I love you I'm gonna go kill
on the couch
for a minute
but we do have a new speaker up here I want to say what's happening I'm going to go kill on the couch. You for a minute. Facts.
But we do have a new speaker up here.
I want to say what's happening.
The cabs.
What's happening?
What's happening?
My man got the Haji PFP.
Like, come on, man.
That's legendary.
Johnny was good.
Cass.
Johnny Quest was my shit growing up, man.
I used to watch that all the time.
Yo, that's actually not the pfp anymore but that
yeah shout out to haji i mean it ain't up here hold on it ain't update where it is still there
it's a new i just gotta click onto his profile once i click to the profile it'll update it's a mute oh i see it now the mute game was good
that's the mute glitch well you taking me back homie
so so uh is it marcus Marquise? Marcus.
Okay, okay, okay.
If you want to sound fancy, you can do the Marquise though. So you showed up on my timeline because my whole TL is basically like Pokemon now.
And this is my first day ever since I like a little kid investing in tcg again and um i did
pretty good like for like my first day actually i got the dragonite 10 i got the salamance 10
and i got i don't know how i did this but i I got the Crown Zenith box at Walmart.
So, yeah, bro.
You came up.
Yeah, bro, my first day, I did pretty good.
And then I got, like, a couple Scarlet Violet packs. And then I got the, what is that, the Paldea?
The, what is that? The pal, the paldea. I got the, the growl of paldeas. I didn't get too much of nothing crazy, but I'd say the crown zenith was probably the coolest thing that I found.
I got the Growlithe Paldeas.
Bro, how did you, you found a, you came up on a restart. That, that's unheard of. That's, that's a good come up. And that crown zenith.
It's probably cause, it's probably cause I'm from Indiana. So like it it's popular but it's not like overly popular out here oh he you know what he got he got the he got that side state you know vibe going on
yeah it's always those like random one-offs where it's like it's popular here but not as popular as
you would think and so them them you can you can come up because boy boy, I love, so me personally, I love, I love opening Crown Zin.
Crown Zin is always, it's just, in Sword and Shield, like, that's just a dope set to open.
I didn't open the box yet because I looked online, and that's how I've been doing my, like, research and stuff.
that's i've been doing my like research and stuff but um i got it for market so i got it for like
20 at walmart but the resale on it is 50 plus like the highest ask is like 120 right now just
for the one box oh yeah you'd be surprised because i come up right there my boy it's a lot of stuff
like whenever you find stuff at market at stores stores like that, it's an immediate like return.
I mean, you can sell it immediately and make profit. That's how the market is.
And like there's huge like there's stuff like. I've gotten for like 20 bucks and then I turn around and now it's 50.
I turn around and now it's 50.
It's just stuff like that market
shifts quick.
With Crown Zenith
stuff, anything
Sword and Shield really, it's going
to start going up in price
a little. You're going to start to see
it increase
in price relatively
quick here soon
solely because
they're on the tail end of printing it so they're going
to be no more reprints of crowns in it and so are in sword a lot of sword and
shield stuff so it's gonna start they're gonna start reprinting now scarlet and
violet that's gonna be what they're gonna be focusing on so all sword and
shield stuff if you can find it get your hands on it I would hold on to it or if you can see
if you want to open it because you know it's hard to keep stuff sealed open it
instant rip it because those cards the cards themselves will start to go up in
value as well because they won't be printed again so they don't have to
worry about a reprint so the value that they're at now will be their new base
and from that point on it would just
continue to go up at that point because it will be reprinted so a good come up my guy on the on
the uh crown zenith and you know good luck on whatever if you're gonna flip it if you're gonna
sell it um open it whatever it may be i like, I'm really just like in it for,
okay, so what happened was like a week ago,
I was just going through spaces,
just like keywords.
And then I randomly found a Pokemon space and I met like a bunch of people
and I was like, whoa,
this is really like,
it just took me back to being like five, six years old.
And I was like wow and everybody
was super cool like right now everybody was super cool and I was like damn and it just gave me like
the push that I needed like the motivation because it's like a positive hobby like it's a positive
outlet honestly and I need more of that like I think lot of us, it's way deeper than just like investments or
just like collecting cards. Like a lot of us don't have a lot of positivity and literally like for
me, that's what it is. So I just, yeah, bro. But I, um, yeah, for my first day, I've had a lot of fun
and, um, I'm just gonna keep going. I'm gonna take it slow and just have fun with it. But I'm
collecting the cards though. I'm not going to rip every box I'm going to take it slow and just have fun with it. But I'm collecting the cards, though.
I'm not going to rip every box or every 10 or whatever.
But, you know, I'm not going to rip every single booster pack.
But I'm going to do my best, like, when I, you know what I'm saying, because I do work a lot.
But I'm going to do my best to, like, when something is on the shelf, I'm going to buy a double so I can rip one and then just put the other one back.
That's how you do it. Smart man. Smart man. One to put the other one back. That's how you do it. One to rock. Smart man.
One to rock. One to stock. That's how it is. But man, welcome to the space, bro. Welcome,
welcome, welcome. Everybody here, man, it's big vibes, bro. Like we are, we big on vibes here.
Like we don't be on a lot of that, that fuck shit, bro. Like we just, we vibe, we all on like,
we all like-minded people. You know what I'm saying? We all vibing on the same wavelength.
We resonating at the same frequency.
That's how we all attracted each other to this space.
That's how we all found our way here.
And so that's something we big on.
We pride ourselves on curating the vibe of good, like-minded individuals that we can just rock with.
We ain't got to worry about none of that drama bullshit.
We just come in here.
We talk. We kick it. You know what I'm i'm saying we collab on different shit whatever it may be
you know what i'm saying we support each other you know what i'm saying that's another big thing
is supporting one another so like yeah and like this shit it's a lot deeper than just cars like
yeah the cars bring us here just like we always say you know what i'm saying good we bring good people together like it's you know what i'm saying like yeah that's the that's what brought us here but it's deeper
than that right we stayed for a lot more than that it's the connection it's the bond it's the
nostalgia it's the you know what i'm saying it's all those different things that have hit us on so
many different levels that's why we stay that's why we're here that's why we got back involved like it's crazy and it is cool i'm glad you you you stumbled upon you know saying us and found it
because like we it's a good network of people basically right like the people down in the
listener section and the people that we follow the people that follow us the
right way it's just a real good group of people and like so we do this show on saturdays
i mean on thursdays we have another show that we do on saturdays with our other homie rami
um but like it's a it's a group of us bro like you said i can tell by your vibe you're like the
homie jonathan shows on he has brunch before lunch very conscious space um very inviting open and
these are all open platforms, bro. Feel free
to request that I'll be part of the conversations. Brunch before lunch, super dope space.
Very wellness, mindfulness. The homie Coke does Get Woke With Coke in the morning,
help get people going in the morning, you know what I'm saying, on those Monday mornings where
it may be tough to really get going. We talk about goals, setting goals and stuff like that.
So another homie to check out.
Obviously, like, these are like, because I can, you know what I'm saying,
just off your vibe, like, these are some people that you should tap into.
Jonathan's actually down in the listener section now.
Coke's probably out playing a game right now.
But, like, realistically, bro, follow everybody in here. Everybody in here is good people. It's
big vibes, and we big on community, man. Welcome, bro.
Yeah, bro. I'm heavy on inclusion. One thing, one of the mantras I grew up on was everybody
plays or nobody plays. Anybody that I follow, I'm very receptive and I'm very responsive.
So, you know, if you follow me back, then I'm going to lock in with you for sure.
What's up, gang?
And yeah, man, just keep posting.
Dude, go follow BZ.
There's a bunch of dope people in the BZ community,
a lot of
not just pokemon people but like there's tcg people just some really just great individuals
bz itself is a really dope web 3 aspect that is involved in in collectibles not just cards but
i'm talking sneakers video games comic books funko's watches they do it all and they have like these claw
machines that they do giveaways on like we would not giveaways we do giveaways
with their claw machines but you can go purchase their claw machine and do shit
like that open up you understand basically it's like a cool and you will
get like you can get a digital you'll get the digital version of the slab but you can request the physical so it's a it's some real dope stuff I'll post something up top we've
used BZ we've done claw giveaways here on the show shit somebody just people
want Rolexes out of there they've won different types of slap, booster bars, all kinds of shit. OG Charizard, the new Charizard
Full Art.
Bubble Mew.
Oh, yeah.
Somebody won the,
I mean, called the
Espeon, I mean,
Umbreon from Tarrasso Festival.
The 1999, I think it was a 1999 um youtube coke pulled i
think it was rated too but i think it was like a great either 8.5 or 7. it was worth like 100
like the the spin the claw spin is like i think at the time it was 5555, but now it's $30.
Now it's $30, so it is dope because they give you the option.
If you want to just flip it right then and there, take the cash instead of the card, you can.
And then you hold the card.
You can either claim the card physically or you can hold it in their Brinks safe.
Shit is legit, man.
Definitely, like, he's putting you onto some fire shit.
Some new shit, new tech.
Like you said, like, if you're into clothing and sneakers, too, they do that, too, man.
And, like, it's all, like, AI authenticated.
It's ridiculous.
Dope tech.
That's fire, bro.
Yeah, I, um, so I recently found a way to a way to basically make my own algorithm on Twitter.
I'm kind of beating the algorithm.
So just a tip for y'all, just in case you be struggling with that, just mute all the blogs.
Mute all the blogs, anything that you don't really want to see, like the overly popularized stuff
that you're like, why am I looking at this? Why is this always popping up? And what's going to
happen is it's going to keep sending you stuff like that. Like it's going to keep popping up
with another blog or like another, you know, spam account or whatever, like, you know,
notification account or promo account, just keep muting all those. And then your algorithm will
work with your like mutuals. So whatever you're into and whatever your mutuals are into, that's
what's going to start showing up on your timeline. And that's how I ended up in this space. And that's
how I ended up following Marcus was because like, I think that we have the same mutuals,
like people that do Pokemon and stuff like that and yeah you know
a couple people that i know in the nft world too but like that's how like i that's how you showed
up on the timeline is because i basically just been like like shaping my own algorithm on here
so y'all if you you know if you really just trying to like make your your twitter all about
your own interests and things like that and you want to block out all that bs i'm telling you that mute button it should work wonders bro
bro that is game straight game bro that is yeah yeah i better take that tip
that's one thing i don't do I don't utilize that shit too often.
I definitely need to start muting some stuff.
Because there's some stupid ass shit.
You're right.
They just be there and I'm like, why the hell is this here?
And I don't even be following the person sometimes.
And that shit is me.
I don't even follow these people.
And why is this shit popping up on my timeline?
Yeah, one thing i've recently
been doing is like muting like accounts that are posting like shootings and fights and like rapper
beefs and things like that because i don't want to see that stuff anyway it's just it pollutes the
mind and it's a distraction where it is reality but it doesn't have to be. So I'd be muting all that type of stuff. And what's crazy is the algorithm forcibly will keep trying to show you that stuff. And it's like proof that they try to shape our minds, bro, like with what we're subjected to in this technology and just media and things like that.
things like that. So if you just keep muting things that you're like, I don't really want
to look at that. That doesn't serve me. It's not helping me. It's not bettering me. It's not
nothing. If you just keep muting stuff and just removing it from your timeline, I swear to God,
bro, basically you'll make your own algorithm and you'll basically force the AI, not even force the
AI, you'll basically be telling the AI telepathpathically almost like, look, you're not going to keep showing me this.
You finish showing me what I want to see. You finna connect me to what I want to stay connected to.
Like you finna post things that are my similar interests.
So, yeah, bro, it's not even just it is free game, but it's like you don't have to necessarily because i don't block nobody
i don't care who i don't mess with or nothing i don't block people like i'll just mute people for
real so like real like on some real shit though like i've been shaping my own algorithm though
just by using that mute button oh yeah that's tough, bro. It's tough.
I got to start muting some folks.
There's some mute-worthy MFers that be popping up on my timeline.
Yeah, I mean, I'd be muting my friends and stuff, too.
Like, my mutuals, if all they do is post, like, freaky stuff or, like, just ignorant stuff, and I'll let them know.
I'd be like, look, bro, I got your ass muted because I can't be.
I'm not dealing with that.
Bro, thanks.
You're not about to fuck up my perfectly curated algorithm.
That's exactly what I'd be saying.
I'm like, look, bro, you fucking up.
My emotion.
Every time I get on the timeline, it's just your bullshit, bro.
I don't want to see that.
Facts, bro. I'm trying to see to see these pokemon bro get this ass off my screen
get your smut off my screen
so i i just gotta mention real quick since you did you did say you were in you know into nfts and crypto and you're in that space already bro bz bro bro you can pay with your crypto there
and you also can and like you can log in with your wallet and do all that cool there too
they take i think recently they just started taking um anime token they started taking i think also
apecoin i'm not mistaken There's another one too,
right? I think I'm missing another one. Pingu. How could I forget? And they're thinking,
Pingu? Bro, shit is lit. So you definitely are curating your algorithm perfectly because
we're here, we're in Web3, we're into NFTs as well, as you can see. We both have NFTPFPs
and we're into fucking TCGg bro like we're you know
fucking vibing yeah bro i um i used to be into nfts i used to like people would give me free
like projects and i would just promote them and stuff like that but i'm not really necessarily
i'm not i'm not not into them but i just not really my main focus now. It's just something that I know.
I'm already hip to it.
I know how everything works for the most part.
And I'm always here to support people's projects and help out when necessary.
But I won't lie, bro.
I'm really about to start.
I'm about to get back into this fucking, this Pokemon shit.
Like that's going to be my main focus. And I'm just glad that I was able to come in here and
meet y'all just to chop it up about that. But I do love NFTs. Don't get me wrong.
Bro, I mean, like, how could you not, if you love Pokemon, it's almost like minting an NFT,
right? Like when you fucking rip a pack, it's like minting. You don't know what you're going
to get. You may get something rare.
So you still get that same adrenaline rush.
So, like, that's why I got into NFTs, bro, is because it gave me that same feeling as me ripping packs of baseball cards, Pokemon cards, football cards, or anything.
Like, you know, or even, like, buying, like, sneakers on, you know, on Nike.
Because that shit is also a gamble, too.
Like, you may or may not get it.
Like, most of the time, you catch the L on
shit. So, like, especially, like, the real
exclusive stuff.
I don't know how many L's I done caught.
Oh, my God, bro.
I'm fucking traumatized by, yeah,
you didn't get them.
Better luck next time.
Like, damn it, bro.
Yeah, bro. I do love NFTs for sure.
And honestly, there's a lot of longevity in NFTs and cryptos.
So I really do.
I already know, bro.
That's just not my main focus right now.
My main focus is just cards.
I won't even hold you, bro. I'm going to just not my main focus right now like my main focus is just cards I won't even
hold you bro I'm gonna just keep it real like that's not dude that's that's look bro like that
is literally why we started this space bro so we are like feelings are mutual when it comes to that
like we love our NFTs we definitely support the projects that we fuck with like you know like
goon like I got a goons pfp, like, and they're still active, like,
they do shit, they do events, they're still here building, building the brand, and, you know,
they're a solidified company, so I still fuck with them, I rock with them, you know, and then
whenever, you know, they support me too, like, you know, so I fuck with them, I fuck with that type
of vibe, you know, so I always rock with them, and then, you know, you got, you know, the pudgy penguins. Those motherfuckers are legit. Like, you know, like, dude, that team is
unstoppable. You know, they got IRL goods. Like, come on, man. Like, that's a real company.
You have, um, Ozuki's about to drop their card game. You have chimpers so chimpers has the digital cards that
you can claim uh the ir the real counterparts and have them shipped to you so there's a lot of like
you know tcg play and different uh nft projects out now but i mean we really, like Sam, bro, we created this phase to not talk about NFTs.
Facts.
To talk about Pokemon, bro.
Because like, yo, dude.
Yeah, collectibles, all sorts, bro.
I say this with my full chest.
Fuck Web 3.
Oh, man.
But it brought us together, dude.
Listen, man, it brought us together, but it don't mean I got to put up with the garbage
that's here.
There's a lot of garbage, though, bro.
That's how we curate the space, bro.
Facts.
Yeah, wherever you go.
I will say, bro, there's good and bad in everything, but squirrels, I do feel you.
Exactly.
It be like that, bro.
Bro, I hate it every day that I'm here, but I love it every day that I'm here, but I fucking
hate it every day that I'm here, but I love it every day that I'm here, but I fucking hate it every day that I'm here.
I met so many great people through like NFTs and Web3 that I'm still tapped in with like talking about like three, four years plus.
So I'm very grateful for like the relationships I've built and like really, you know, friendships and family that I've built.
You know, I was, I see Antonio down there
with an alien friend, bro.
Like, I was into that and I forgot my C phrase,
but I still got like, you know, four or five of them
in one of my old wallets.
And I watched that project.
Since I came back to the internet,
I watched that project go up
and now they're worth like $1,000.
I'm like, damn, I just got money
sitting in my fucking in my stuff
i'll never have access to it again but just like to know that i like made a good decision
like that's all i really care about bro and like i met really great people yeah i just
four or five alien friends you got about i want to say like four hundred dollars right now
no some of them are.
I was looking at the prices like on Ethereum.
Only thing that matters is the floor, brother, because most people are not paying above.
No, yeah, I definitely.
Yes, I feel you.
I'm just, you know.
But anyways.
I'm just like a big like, can we not go down the Web3 rabbit hole right now? I'm such a like, bro.
I'm like the guy who's just like, who?
It's fine, bro.
It's okay.
I'm over it.
I'm so, I'm so done with Web3, bro.
I, like, listen, don't get me wrong.
I've been here five years.
I work full time in the bitch.
I just fucking, I can't, bro.
I can't.
Especially with NFTs, bro.
I can't.
Yes, it's all good, i just i am grateful that you know
y'all are like making a space just to talk about pokemon and tcgs and just games and stuff like
that yeah it makes me happy i'll be talking like hella anime i'm like the anime guy the whole
reason that i'm like getting back into it is just because it's giving me the same feeling that I had when I was like a little boy. And I've been like really thinking about a lot,
like in my life, I'm kind of at a point in my life where if it doesn't make me feel the exact
same way the next day, then I don't need it. Like I don't want it. You feel what I'm saying?
Like, I feel like we dibble and dabble in things just to experience stuff or see what we like and
what we don't like. But then we just disappoint ourselves because we don't,
it's not like we have an expectation, but when we don't have that same feeling the next day and the
next day and the next day, we're just like, damn, like I'm wasting my time on this. But like,
like Pokemon is one of those things and like gaming, that's another one of those things that
like, I feel the same way about it every single day.
I don't get disappointed with myself.
So yeah, that's kind of where I'm at in my life.
Am I easily disappointed?
Is that what this fucking is?
He said gaming and I immediately went,
oh, you're a funny guy, bro.
You're a legend, Squze like you you definitely are our
anime guy for real for real bro it's like the only thing that like gets me up in the morning
like fucking bro i can't with so much shit bro i'm like i really fuck i'm a pessimist god damn
but it's okay i like myself i feel you bro it's it sucks sometimes like when you
you're like damn like this this shit got potential and then you you see it like don't
like go to where it needs to go because of certain reasons certain people like i know what you're
talking about bro i get i all right so i'll give you like a little bit of my gaming like frustrations right just because i don't want to do the nft and crypto
shit but like but i'm so frustrated because we got so many games out here like the disconnect
from corporate to consumer is insane to me like recently with like, like, I like fighting games, you know, I got
friends who work in the fighting game industry, stuff like that, right, and, like, I'm just sitting
here, and I'm watching these Tekken 8 updates, and it's, like, the people who are making the
fucking game aren't listening to the people who literally are playing their game, It's like, bro, you have pros, the best players in the world,
telling you they don't even understand your most recent updates,
which were supposed to be decreasing 50-50s
and making it a more decisive defensive game
because the whole thing's been just attack, attack, attack.
And then you go and get all up,
and now your ratings in the steam store are
so goddamn through the fucking ground that no one wants to touch your shit and i'm like bro what
i hate it here like what are we doing bro like it's like everything that the people say
just goes out the window and i'm just so fucking fed up bro it's like feed it's like in
I was do one web three things feed the whales feed the whales bro there's the
most value extracted motherfuckers out of everybody fuel your fucking people
bro fuck them people fuck those stupid whales bro
yeah bro it's um one thing I did notice when I came back is I watched a lot of people that
said, oh, we're going to take this to the moon. I went back and looked at projects after
three years of not being in Web3. I watched a lot. I could just see from the numbers that
people just ran off with the money. It's's a lot of that. And it's really
sad. I don't know. You talking about just fuck shit happening in Web3, I peeped, bro.
I pay attention to a lot of stuff. I'm not a fly on the wall. I'm just a guy in the corner.
You know what I'm saying? That person who's in the corner just watching everybody.
Rob Markman Are you silent but deadly? You know what I'm saying? Like that person who's in the corner just watching everybody, you know, interacting.
Are you silent but deadly?
No, I'm not deadly. But yeah, I just be quiet, bro. And I just be paying attention to stuff like I'm not.
I'd be like, because I'll be like, damn, I need to figure this out. And so I'll just like observe.
But I have seen like just from being back in the I've only been back on here for like a week.
I haven't been on the internet for like three years.
Me and my girl took a hiatus just to, you know, get back to real life.
And I won't lie, bro.
Like I understand things a lot.
Like my patience is very, very thick.
You know, I have a lot more patience now.
I have a lot more discipline and a lot more understanding and grace for just people in general and um
i came back here and i've just looked at a lot of stuff like i want to say music nfts in particular
i see a lot of people just ran off and i'm like damn that's fucked up like all the people there
you get what i'm saying like and i don't like it's certain things that I just cannot condone.
And don't get me wrong.
I love I love, you know, there's certain projects out there that it's like, wow, that's really cool that they're still going.
That type of stuff makes me happy, like consistency and, you know, momentum and, you know, sticking to your word and stuff like that. And just creating like a community and a family, you know, an experience for everybody.
That's beautiful.
But it's so many people out there who are really just running off and that shit's fucked up.
I can second that.
I just saw, yeah, it's popped up.
I was unloading some laundry and doing stuff.
But like, I was seeing some whitelists the other day.
And people in the comments were like yeah this is
some ai generated art and i'm in some discords and people are like yeah we won the white list i bet
i could have done this myself and i was like yeah all you had to do was sit there and pay two three
hundred dollars to a few kol some retweets and now you just sit there and you know pocket it probably
like 10 grand and we see so many projects in the space that have pulled
that and it's really sad but everyone talks about you know let's get the masses in well the hard
part about getting the masses in is they've not come through what a lot of us that have been you
said you've been out of the space for a little bit and they've not seen the scams that a lot of us
have that have been here for years.
So, I mean, they're going to come into the space,
get scammed immediately, and then, like,
screw this space.
I mean,
I feel like we're going down the rabbit hole,
and I'm going to start popping the bug off.
No rabbit holes.
No rabbit holes.
I got a question, bro.
I got an important question. We could definitely talk about NFTs on Saturdays when we smoke some weed.
We could definitely.
I'm like, I'm chomping at the bit.
I'm like, I have a serious question that has nothing to do with that.
So it has to deal with the Mew in my picture.
Has anybody caught the like the Mew glitch
before in the old Pokemon games yeah um shit I don't even remember how to do it I remember
so my homie told me how to do it because his older brother told him how to do it and their dad was a
big gamer and he was stationed in Japan at the time so they had all the
the info bro so like his dad would tell them via letters and shit and then they
would tell us at school so like what you do bro is you get teleport or fly and
you go to Cerulean City and you go up the bridge and you go to the left and
there's like where there's the little like the little like part of the water that leads to the cave where you would go catch Mewtwo
there's the little grassy part and there's one little person right there and you you walk up to
them but then right when the exclamation mark pops up you pause the game and then you fly away or
teleport somewhere else and then you go battle a trainer and then you go fly back to Cerulean City.
And then you go back up the bridge, and then your menu will pop up, and you'll run into a wild mule.
Well, you have to go battle.
First, you have to go battle a trainer up top.
He's, like, up there towards, towards like up against the um it's like up like if you go up through the
bridge and then you go um down to the right there's like all those little trainers um
on the way to bill's house and then you go down there and then there's a little trainer
it's like a little kid and you go battle battle him. And then after you battle him, you walk back.
And then you'll run into a wild mule.
And it'll be like a level one.
And all it knows is pound.
But then it'll just defeat everything, though.
Even at a level one.
It'll be woof and everything.
It was so OP.
This reminds me.
I was seeing these articles pop up about my son's playing Pokemon Oculus.
I played it some, but he's beat the game like three or four times already.
And I mean, I've barely played it.
I was like, it's kind of fun.
But I see these articles pop up in my feed.
And it was like, how to get the shiny one to save to your Nintendo home or whatever.
And I'm like, so I'm looking at it. It's like, you got to do this. And you got to go to this place. Then you got to save to your Nintendo home or whatever. I'm like, so I'm looking at it.
It's like, you gotta do this, then you gotta go to this place,
then you gotta go to here.
It's so specific
to get this thing.
I've played like two hours of this game.
It seemed kind of fun, but I just
haven't had the time to sit and play.
But maybe he would want that.
I can't see him
sitting down reading the whole entire thing
how to do it look it was it was those things man it's just that stuff like back in the day like
there was certain pokemon you couldn't get to evolve unless you traded them so you had to find
somebody who had to link cable so you could link your game boys together like it was all that shit bro bro that's how you had to get the
alakazam right alakazam was that way yes bro i found a way so like if you do the mew glitch
if you do the same process but different spots on the map you won't run into mew but you'll run
into pokemon that you that you show up on the pokedex that you can't catch in the old games
like in pokemon yellow if you do the same exact process for the Mew Glitch,
but you go somewhere else and do it with different trainers,
that's why it's important not to fight all the trainers.
Because I think what happened was probably, this is just my guess,
is during the development of the game, they probably were just like,
there was probably like a disagreement between the company on like,
you know, what Pokemon were going to be available, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then whoever was coding the game was like, okay, I'm going to figure a way for people to still be able to get these Pokemon.
And so if you do the Mew Glitch, the same type of process, but you do it in other parts of the map, bro'll run into Gengar like randomly in the road you can
catch Gengar you can catch Electabuzz there's like so many Pokemon that you can't catch in the old
games that you can actually catch just through that glitch bro and I like because I was like
well if I can catch Mew and I can catch a Nidoking and a Niddoqueen like what else can I catch and so
I started doing it all over the old maps bro bro. And I started catching some wild stuff, bro.
It's crazy.
That's rowdy.
Now I'm like, I have to go find my Game Boy.
No, bro, you don't have to do that, bro.
So if you have an iPhone, you can download this emulator app.
It's a free app and it's legal.
It's called Delta.
And then if you just download that and then you go to emulatorg. It's a free app and it's legal. It's called Delta. And then if you just download
that and then you go to emulatorgames.net, you can download zip files of old Nintendo games,
not just Game Boy, but other Nintendo games. And then you download it and then you pull up the
files through the app. Like, cause they'll just, the zip files will be in your phone files. But
if you go to the app, you could pull up the zips and it'll literally like pull up all the
games and then it'll put when you click on the game like to play it it'll pull up the controls
on your phone does that work on android i don't know bro i haven't tried it i remember that uh
some years ago i did a whole bunch of like i got chronono Trigger again on my PC while I was doing emulators but
I can't remember all the sites anymore but I was getting you know
the old school games I said Chrono Trigger
was it that mana like Legends of Mana and stuff like that like the old school RPGs
bro they have like Super Nintendo games like on the website so I was playing Aladdin and Lion King
and all type of stuff, bro.
It's crazy.
Like you can literally just download the Delta app and then you go to
emulatorgames.net and then there's other websites,
but you can just look up the type of,
it's really just like the mainly just like up to like Nintendo 64 that's
supported for the Delta.
Cause it's strictly Nintendo games,
but you can just download the zips
and it'll pull up the controls,
like touchscreen controls,
but it's like the actual controller on your phone.
And then you can play these old games,
but it's crazy.
That's right.
But normally this is an hour show.
We have gone a little long and I need to go spend some time with my little ones before it's bedtime.
So I'm going to go ahead and pass the mic around for the last closing statements and then we're going to get up out of here.
So you're saying cabs since you're new here, and it's your first, we'll let you
start, and then we'll just work our way around. I just want to say thank you, bro, and just thank
you to everybody in here. I saw a lot of people reached out to me, so I'ma just, I'ma stay tapped
in, bro, and I appreciate the love, and, um, just if y'all need to, if you are interested in anything
or you're trying to get hip to what I'd be doing? Just DM me.
Hey, say less, bro. Appreciate you pulling up, man.
I'm glad you, you had a good time and you was able to connect with a lot of
people, man. So, bro, you, you locked in, man.
Like I said, you tapped in with us and then there's a bunch of dope people in this space. So you, you, you plugged in, man. Like I said, you tapped in with us, and then there's a bunch of dope people in this space,
so you plugged in, bro.
Damn.
I don't have too much special.
I heard that new set for Team Rocket set is not doing that well.
I had a buddy sit there, and he was going crazy.
He got a bunch of them and
now he's like well i'm having struggle selling them
yeah that price don't go up man it's gonna be it's gonna be rough on them um just because
they're with the tariffs and but i mean the team rocket stuff uh it'll probably do better once it
hits i mean because the so the case went crazy
if if you were lucky enough to get one of those cases uh you were a special person
but yeah no that team rocket sets it'll go good on it when it hits destined rivals i think that's
when it's gonna go just bananas but i've seen some of the artwork from some of those cards and they are
I like I think the art was pretty gas
Yeah, I just don't know the playable I know I was playing the app and oh it drove me insane cuz I'm playing the app and
I don't know what happened, but some of the cards I thought were just basic
easy cards it banned them I had to completely redo my deck that I've been using for like the
past six months it's like oh right now I gotta go now I gotta go complicated multi-color cards
I just had a basic you know try resort deck and it did really good
and now i'm like man i gotta redo the whole thing because half my deck was banned according to the
app and that's the thing back in magic the gathering that drove me crazy is because you'd
sit there and build this deck up and then i know they'd be like yeah, you can only have one card of that and now that's restrict that's banned
No, you can't use it needs by
Well, I spent all this effort this time testing and now you tell me this whole entire thing's banned
No, that's that's rowdy because I know
There was I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh and it was the same thing when they started banning cards
Yeah, when they start doing that stuff, it's rough, but I mean
They collecting I got to get some more my son's driving me crazy
I just rebuilt their decks which I know you've heard me in the space a few times
I actually had to separate now the cards away from my eldest son can get a hold of them and
The two younger kids now I've rebuilt the decks from and my eldest is asking me for some more red cards and I rebuild this deck
I'm like, I think I built my daughter's deck up too strong and hers is a
Water deck and I'm like wait a water versus fire deck. He's gonna get what
I'm like, please pick something besides fire
Well good luck on restructuring the decks
You know saying good luck on the hunt man look
on the hunt man look barnes and nobles man people be sleeping on barnes and nobles i'll always say it
Barnes and nobles man people be sleeping on Barnes and Nobles. I always say it
because it is like every release i just casually walk into barnes and nobles i grab what i need
and i walk out and i usually never aligned that's gotta be nice because they're here in jacksonville
where i am oh man you walk into a store if you hear a release they're just like yeah we don't have that but you
can get the older stuff hey look right now the older stuff's gonna be hitting but but yeah man
but we will good luck man like i said we're gonna get on to you know we're gonna be wrapping it up
here i'm glad you were able to make it bro um i know you i know you'd be uh you'd be busy with the kids at night, so I'm glad you was able to make it, bro.
Yeah, because we were a little later this week.
I started booking it with the wife, but now the 8 o'clock is fine.
I used to host spaces at 8 o'clock on Thursdays,
and it's back to where now she's like,
okay, eight o'clock, you're on.
I was like, yeah, I got the trading cards at eight,
and then I got a coin project that I like at nine o'clock.
So I got a two hour gap where she's just like,
do your thing.
She's like, if I ain't passed out, get back up at 11.
Clutch, well, there you go. How about that? Worked out and get back up at 11. Oh, clutch. Well, there you go.
How about that?
It worked out great.
But, uh, all right, well, we're going to pass on.
I'm glad he was able to make it.
I'm going to pass Mike over to Squirrels, and then we'll go smokey,
and then we'll get up out of here tonight.
Fuck.
I hate it here. That's pretty much the majority of my closing statement there
um also i will never call you by your actual name it is marquez um it sounds better it sounds
fancier um and yeah that there's that. If you like anime spaces,
I host them randomly in the middle of the fucking night.
And then on Tuesdays, my friend Bricks hosts them.
And we talk about anime,
and we do not have stupid conversations about Goku versus Gojo.
Don't bring that garbage my way.
Also, you would lose the debate anyway.
And just remember, kids, I hate it here.
We know you hate it here.
But no, definitely check out Brick's Face.
I was in there.
It was a vibe.
And they are true anime watchers.
So definitely check them out.
It's definitely a vibe.
So, but yeah.
Smokey!
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
Guys, again, those mini portfolios, if you find them, they're usually hitters.
All right?
Don't sleep on them. Little $5, $6.
Like, you know, you may come up on a $20 card.
You never know.
What else?
Tomorrow, tomorrow's the 4th.
So I think if you're a Dot Swoosh member
and if you're into, like, the Air Max collabs
that they've been doing with Nintendo,
they have a James Bond
GoldenEye themed one dropping.
I think the
pre-orders are tomorrow.
It's pretty dope.
It looks like a tuxedo.
It's got some silk on the black
on the back heel tab.
It has the little health bar
that was on his watch.
Looks pretty legit. Looks fire.
I may look into that.
Other than that, guys, yo man, I'll see y'all on Saturday and I'll see y'all next week on
Thursday.
Squirrels, you already know the vibe.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for contributing.
Dan as well.

Oh, wait. I got one more thing.
Okay. Go, go, go.

If y'all didn't know, and you like VTubers and shit,
there's a TCG for VTubers called VCard.
I know, baller fucking name.
But a majority of the shit sold out on their official website,
so you might have to find it secondary,
but definitely worth checking out.
The cards look cool.
A bunch of anime waifus obviously they're vtubers but if you know anything
about the vtuber market that shit go crazy so they could be worth something at some point
