All right, let's welcome into straight fire. 72 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: A guy you will certainly remember from last year. He 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: is kind of a big deal in the gambling space, 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: although he's not gambling in because he's doing a weight 75 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: loss thing. Preston Johnson a k A sports cheetah. What's up, dude, 76 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: How you doing? It's been a while. I'm awesome, dude, Yeah, 77 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: it has been a while. You've followed off the face 78 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: of the earth. I mean, you're you're not doing all 79 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: your gambling anymore. Remember last year Bubble NBA time, Preston 80 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: and I would text every day about bets. I mean 81 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: he this guy's hardcore gambler, and now he's going cold Turkey, 82 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: because you want to lose fifty pounds, how is the 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: weight loss program going? That was? That was my goal. 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: So I'm only down like twenty seven. I should be 85 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: down a lot more because my goal was to lose 86 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: fifty this year, and I wasn't gonna bet on games 87 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: before I got to fifty. I'm still sticking to that. 88 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: But h I lost like twenty in the first two 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: and a half months, and then I just got pretty lazy. 90 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: I also had this other project I got really busy 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: with on the side, and like I went like three months, right, 92 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: I didn't lose anything, and then in the last like 93 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: six weeks, I dropped like another seven or eight pounds. 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: So I'm just curious for the sports fans out there 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: or who love that. Are you? Is it more of 96 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: a weight is it a diet? Is it a cardio? What? What? What? 97 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: What's the key? It's a little bit of everything. So 98 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: since I wasn't really since man, because you know, I 99 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: used to play basketball and love playing pick up pre 100 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: COVID and when I was in Vegas, I would play 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: a few times a week and that was like my exercise, 102 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: and I just really haven't played basketball in a while. 103 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: So I had to get back into cardio because I 104 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: hadn't been exercising for you know, nearly a year and 105 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: a half. And then diet for sure was part of it. 106 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: Actually have done a few funky that's vegan for an 107 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: entire month, which was which was great. Honestly, I felt 108 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: really good, an alert, and like it surprised me how 109 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: much I enjoyed doing that. And then I did like 110 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: a seventy two hour fast where I only drank liquids 111 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: for like like a lemon cayenne drink for I've done 112 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: a few things in there to like help kind of 113 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: push things along. But hopefully by the end of the 114 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: year I can get to that fifty number. Um, I 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: should be able to do it. I just need to 116 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: clamp down during football, which which will be tough. But 117 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: football is tough, man. I listen, I think I told 118 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: you every Sunday during a football season, I order breadsticks 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: and cheese sticks from Papa John's. Everything. I mean, listen, 120 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: it's bad and I'm gonna try to get off it. 121 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: But once you start, because you celebrate opening weekend like 122 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: oh yeah, pizza Papa John's, I mean Papapa John's bed 123 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: sticks take me back to college. Just the smell of 124 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: the box, you know, in the cheese sticks. You get 125 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: them every night at like midnight. It doesn't matter. Um, 126 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: I gotta get off that. But anyways, UM, I want 127 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: to start with this very rare Do you find someone 128 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: who gets to ESPN and then leaves? I mean, not 129 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people have done that, Cowherd, you know, 130 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, there's a handful of humongous guys. Preston Johnson 131 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: gets on the ESPN gambling show, He's on it with 132 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Doug and Joe and all these guys, and then he 133 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: just leaves. Preston, do you wanna? I mean, was this 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: a difficult decision for you or easier? What? I think 135 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: it surprised them too, though, I think, kind of going 136 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: to your point is they're accustomed to all of these 137 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: general media people that once they get to ESPN, that's 138 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: like the highlight for someone covering sports usually, right, And 139 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: so once they're they're like, they're not just gonna leave 140 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: after their first contract. And so ESPN did offer me 141 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: another one. And when I said, you know that, it 142 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: wasn't really an arrange that I considered worthwhile for my time. 143 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: At this point, they were surprised they were taking it 144 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: back and they had just laid off like a thousand 145 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: employees right during COVID, and they're like, well, we're not 146 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: really giving raises in my age. And when they went 147 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: back and forth, they ended up offering me like ended 148 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: up being like forty better than where they started. And 149 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: I still was like, you know what, I'm just I'm 150 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: just gonna do other things. But um, I think think 151 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: I think they were surprised that they were not expecting it, 152 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: because again, like you're kind of saying, people don't just 153 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: get to ESPN and then leave. Um, the difference with 154 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: me is I was betting professionally before I ever went 155 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: to ESPN. Then they launched the show, and so I 156 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: was still betting, and I still had some other income 157 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: from that, and I wanted to kind of prioritize my 158 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: flexibility and doing some my own side projects in the 159 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: crypto n f T space primarily, And so it was 160 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: honestly an easy decision. Uh, even though that it sounds 161 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: arrogant and stuff, that's just kind of how it went down. 162 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: And and I think it really is kind of just 163 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: because they're like, we have someone that's pretty good on 164 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: on TV they can talk sports at least em betting 165 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to an extent that a lot of others can't. And well, 166 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll just do it again. And so part 167 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: of it, I did move out of Vegas. I moved 168 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: down here to southern California to be closer to family. 169 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: They had built that new studio in Vegas. They probably 170 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: don't want to invest a ton in someone that was 171 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: going to be mostly remote. So I think it kind 172 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: of goes both ways to some degree. But they definitely 173 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: were surprised that I didn't just like, yeah, let's do 174 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: it again, you know, because I think I'm younger to 175 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: most most kids would just be like, yeah, let's run 176 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: it back. So you said gambling professionally, A lot of 177 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: people might wonder what that officially means. Um, you know, 178 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I gamble recreationally. I'm not putting up the big money 179 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: you are, although we were Yeah, jeez, that was a 180 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: rude awakening. Um. I mean, like, I don't mind making 181 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: some big bets. Um, but when you say professional gambler, 182 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: can you kind of explain that. I don't think the 183 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: I r S Is listening. I mean, I report gambling 184 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: winnings when I do taxes. Anyway, so they're they're used 185 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: to at it. I if the majority of your income 186 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: is is from betting, you know which which mine was 187 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: for a while, that that's I guess what I would 188 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: consider professional gambler. And it's where I'm like the you 189 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: know opposite now where I haven't been betting this year 190 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: and majority of my income has been in other spaces. 191 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't even consider myself, you know, theoretically a 192 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: professional gambler. But I'm still running my models. For example, 193 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: college football is coming up, NFL's coming up. I still 194 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: want to be able to keep that process intact and 195 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: give out stuff. And I still do my own daily 196 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: show um here at the Bets TV studio that I 197 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: that I built up here in Southern California. So I'm 198 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: still like engaging and doing sports stuff, and I didn't 199 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: want to lose it, so to speak, where if I 200 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: just took like a couple of years completely away, it'd 201 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: be tougher to jump back in. So I'm still running 202 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: an updating all my numbers and trying to stay on 203 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: top of it. UM just zero cents down for the 204 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: time being until I get to that fifty number. UM. 205 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Now college football, I don't know how much of this 206 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: story you want me to tell. But when we I 207 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: think we went to a Laker gate. We hung out 208 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: there that went for a bite, and you know, you 209 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: were explaining your college football betting to me, and um, 210 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: it sounded very exciting. And I was like, hey, why 211 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: don't you just text me your pigs, you know, after 212 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: you after you lay the lumber. Uh, And you were 213 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: like yeah, sure, and I was just like, oh man, 214 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: But of course that was when you know COVID hits 215 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. The rest is history. Um, it's 216 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: why why do you think you can find a bigger 217 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: edge in college in NFL? I mean it's pretty straightforward. 218 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: You know the NFL. For one, there's fewer teams, right, 219 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: so there's just thoughts makers have more at their disposal. Uh, 220 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: as far as information, there's fewer teams to look at 221 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: and to track. Also, the markets just figure, right, the 222 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: liquidity to bed into the NFL is way higher. So therefore, 223 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: when there's like closing lines, our lines are moving, that's 224 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: more valuable info than when like college lanes are moving. 225 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: Because it's smaller limits. You also just have a lot 226 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: less turnover, so you know, coaches and quarterbacks generally stay 227 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL like in the same place for for 228 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: quite a long time. In college, they're constantly fluctuating, especially 229 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: offensive defensive coordinators. I thought there was there's like nearly 230 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: a decade run where the market to start every year 231 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: wasn't adjusting for the fact that an offensive or defensive 232 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: coordinator in college was new, and that, for example, one 233 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: was playing with way more pace than the team was prior, 234 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: and they would open up totals the first few weeks 235 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: like ten points too low. There's just opportunities like that 236 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: with so many more schools to follow and so much 237 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: shake up, there's transfers in the player portal that way 238 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: than recruiting. How are you valuing recruits coming in from 239 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: high school? Who's gonna make a difference in the NFL 240 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: like that? There's are There's some rookies that make a difference, right, 241 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: There's a few adjustments here and there, and trades happen occasionally, 242 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: but not even like the NBA or anything in that regard, 243 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: and and a couple of players outside of like quarterback 244 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: position just don't make a big difference to an NFL 245 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: team as a whole. Via point spread perspective. So it's 246 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: just it's just a tougher market to beat. College still 247 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: still a lot easier. So UM, I recommend people that 248 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: are just maybe getting started or looking at it, they're 249 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: doing it for fun, but want to take it more seriously, 250 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: focus on college and even focus on one conference. Maybe 251 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: it's the MAC or the Conference USA or the SUN 252 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: built a smaller conference that has smaller schools. Maybe not 253 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: as many players out there that are looking at those games, 254 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: and maybe there's more opportunity in those ones too. So 255 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: I know you're not betting, but is there anything that 256 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: like you have advised friends on Week one season totals Heisman? Um? 257 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: I was just in Vegas and I took two guys 258 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: to win the Heisman. I think it was a Clemson quarterback. Um, 259 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: you is that is how you say his name Ukulele? Yeah, 260 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: something so close to that. Uh. And then the other 261 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: guy I took the quarterback from Georgia. I just have 262 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: a feeling the Clemson Georgia game won't really matter early 263 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: in the season, and it feels like both those are 264 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: probably going to get to the playoff. Um, so I'm 265 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: assuming both quarterbacks will be in the mix for the Heisman. 266 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: So I actually and I don't mind the Georgia play. 267 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: And that's when I I had recommended a couple of 268 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: months ago, when I started looking at features as Georgia 269 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: eight two one or better to win it all and 270 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: a lot of their reasoning. Now they have a few receivers, 271 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: a tight end that's been missing practice. But the projection 272 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: is that they're going to be good to go and 273 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: start for the Clemson game. Um, but the idea is this, 274 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, the Clems again, doesn't really matter, and 275 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: you're right unless they win. If they win, the plus 276 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: eight hundred's gonna cut in half and you'll never get 277 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: a better price the Heisman shot on the quarterback. That 278 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: price is gonna cut in half if they beat Clemson. 279 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: If they lose, they're still in the SEC. The price 280 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: isn't gonna really change much. And if they run the 281 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: table in the SEC or get to the SEC title game, 282 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: then they're going to be in the playoff anyway, or 283 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna be in Heisman contention anyway. It's a now 284 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: or never I think to bet on Georgia and the 285 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: fact that uh, you know, defense with Kirby Smart is 286 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: always top tier, right, but they got the quarterback transfer 287 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: from USC. He was a high recruit. He gets hurt. 288 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't play most of the last season J T. Daniels, 289 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: and when they did finally bring him in and said 290 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: right his knees ready to go. Those last four games, 291 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: like George's offense went to another tier that just hasn't before. 292 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: So I think their ceilings higher this year with the 293 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: floor of a great defense and at least a good 294 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, run game that keeps them in the mix 295 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: to being like a top five team. But if JD. 296 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Daniels takes them to that other level, um, then yeah, 297 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: at the price a tool one I and again the JT. 298 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: Daniels heisman that I think is totally fine. We had 299 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: on R. J. Young. He just he joined Fox about 300 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: a year ago and he really talked about the Alabama 301 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: UM changes. I think they have five new coaches, assistance coordinators. Uh, 302 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: and they lost fifteen million guys to the NFL and 303 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of turnover. But it's Alabama. I don't 304 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: know where are you on the Tide. I think was 305 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: it seven players in the top thirty seven picks or 306 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: something like that. It's something it's insane, like that just 307 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: never happened. So there's definitely gonna be some sort of 308 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: drop off, and everyone saying that Bryce Young is like, 309 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, the real deal, He's gonna come right in 310 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: my My vision for how this plays out is is twofold. 311 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: I think the where we can take advantage the most 312 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: is in Week one against Miami. I think the under 313 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: sixty four, it's down to sixty two. I still think 314 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: it's too high, So I think that's the play. I 315 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see more of an old school Alabama 316 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: type approach from Nick Saban, where they were relying on 317 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: a defense that I think because I think there's seven 318 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: players in the first thirty seven were all offensive players offensive, 319 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: so the offense and you're have a brand new quarterback 320 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: who hasn't played at the collegiate level yet. I think 321 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna go back to more like, let's focus on 322 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: the run game. Their defense is gonna be lead. It's 323 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: actually gonna better than it was last year. They can 324 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: rely on that. So I think they're gonna play a 325 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: slower game after having like this historically great offense. And 326 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: then on the Miami side, I know everyone's saying dere 327 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: at King's fine, he's recovering from the injury. He's good 328 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: to go. They graded out really well offensively last year. 329 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: But I still think that's like a pretty big question 330 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: big question mark. It's uncertainty there, and it's week one 331 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: and he hasn't played for a while, and it's Alabama's defense. 332 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: So when it's all said in down, I think the 333 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: angle on Alabama is not necessarily Look, they're still the 334 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: top rated team in my projections entering the year, and 335 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: then it drops to like Oklahoma and Clemson or two, three, um, 336 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: and then I think Georgia's four. So just to kind 337 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: of let people know in some context, but Alabama still 338 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: number one, but their offense is going to be significantly 339 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: less efficient, their defense is slower. What do you make 340 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: of the OC change it at Bama? Bill O'Brien, I'm intrigued. 341 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I actually have an answer for you 342 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: on that, which thanks okay, and which is maybe part 343 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: of the reason that I prefer under two. I mean 344 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: Sarkisian And I don't know if you want to talk 345 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: Texas football at all a little bit, but whatever have 346 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: you noticed how so Steve Sarkisian one of the greatest 347 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: offensive minds we've ever seen, even at the NFL level, 348 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: right with the Falcons and prior to that, and he 349 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: had like the mishap a USC and I think shout 350 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: out to him for like getting over things and a 351 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: really good place. He gets a shot here at Texas. 352 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: The last three years, right, years two through four of 353 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: Tom Herman at Texas. What did we hear? Every year? 354 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: It's Tom Herman was great at Houston? Right, So it's like, 355 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: all right, this is the they always have top ten 356 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: recruiting grades. Sorry, this is the year. So you're two 357 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Like everyone's hyping them up. There a public team anyway, Right, 358 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: it's the University of Texas. So what do we do? 359 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Like the last three years, we bet under on Texas 360 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: season wins because every year they're just way overhyped Herman. Whatever. 361 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Now it's Steve Sarkisian coming in every magazine media pundant 362 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: talking Texas this year is saying it's a rebuilding year. 363 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be two or three years and then we'll 364 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: see where Sarkisians at. So what are we doing out Jason? 365 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: You know how it works, like everyone discounting over no 366 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: one's talking about it. They're over seven and a half. 367 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: I think they're at least an a win team often 368 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: enough that that's worthwhile. So Texas actually think is being overlooked. 369 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: And part of the reason being Steve Sarkisian who will 370 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: no longer beat Alabama. So another reason that the Alabama's 371 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: offense drops off a little bit too. Uh any highsman 372 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: sleepers out there with everybody loves this old Miss quarterback 373 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: that I message a guy that one of my betting 374 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: partners a few months ago and he grabbed like fifty 375 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: one and I think thirty two one are better? Is 376 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: still worthwhile? Which exists in the market like people can 377 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: go find it. But here here's here's what is Lane Kiffin. 378 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: Year two, like, with a real off season to prep 379 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: is going to be phenomenal when you look at Matt 380 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: Carroll's numbers last year. So that's just it is what 381 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: it is that that really is, Can All Miss win 382 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: ten games? Can they have like a nationally televised big 383 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: win that gives him the credit and starts that real buzz. Look, 384 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: last year they went toe to toe with Alabama anyway, 385 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: there was like a four both teams scored in the forties. 386 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: It basically came down to who had the ball last. 387 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: They end up losing by I think a touchdown. So 388 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: can they do that again this time on a big stage, 389 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: and then if they can get to ten wins? Like 390 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: on average, they're probably like a seven and a half 391 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: to eight win team, but can they exceed that and 392 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: get to nine or ten wins? With his stats being 393 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: just off the charts like kind of Lamar Jackson asked 394 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: from a few years ago, more than Louisville. I think 395 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: they only won nine games that year, but his stats 396 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: were just so much better than everyone else. I think 397 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: that's in the next at thirty to one. Again, you 398 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: only needed to hit you know, one at a time 399 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: to be a break even proposition. I think it's I 400 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: think it's worthwhile still at that price.

All right, let's pivot from college 405 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: football real quick. You had mentioned the n f T 406 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: space and comic punks punk comics. I'm sorry, I don't 407 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: understand all this stuff. Not smart enough, you know, I'm 408 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: trying to be smart Preston, but I don't get it. 409 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I've been looking at your feed. I watched a couple 410 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: of videos. This is listen mant you people need to 411 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: realize you were on TV talking about sports gambling a 412 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: year ago. You are now in the n f T 413 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: comic space, Like, how does this happen? How do you 414 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: make that jump that quickly? Or were you a big 415 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: comics guy like growing up. It's it's less the comics itself, 416 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: although we hired an actual like DC Marvel illustrator from 417 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: Australia to do our comic. Uh, it's less that. It's 418 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: more just the utility and practicality of of what the 419 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: n f T like collectible space can be. And and 420 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: so the jump. Honestly, it kind of caught me by 421 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: surprise too. We didn't really start talking about it, me 422 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: and my U two partners that like Cook created it 423 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: with me until March, and then it was out in May. 424 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: So it was like a whirlwind of two months. That's 425 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: when I stopped losing weight. I was down like twenty 426 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: one pounds, and I told you that went two or 427 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: three months where I just plateaued. Actually, I think I 428 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: gained like three pounds or two pounds from there. So um, 429 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: that's when that happened. And then the last six weeks 430 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: I've tried to get back at it. Uh, but it 431 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: was it was crazy and I would and you know, 432 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: like I was in the bitcoin and crypto stuff early on, 433 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: and so it's kind of all tied to just the 434 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: blockchain technology and what you can do there, but it's 435 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: it's definitely, like you said, my feeds more catered towards that, uh, 436 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: and it's been interesting trying to juggles maybe the wrong word, 437 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: but initially I didn't want to like, you know, scare 438 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: all my sports followers off, like what is this crap 439 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: or like overship like punks comic thing, like this guy 440 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: is telling me to buy So I was like really 441 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: light on. I never told anyone like, hey, you should 442 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: invest in this n f T project. It's like these 443 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: crypto punks, we had a DC Marvel guy take them, 444 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: mold these stories around them, and we have we have 445 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: this comic and there's big art behind in the sixteen 446 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: crypto punks themselves, which have been flying. Anyone that's following 447 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: that space like the floor to just buy one. Now 448 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 1: it's like a quarter million dollars the sixteen of them. 449 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: When you buy the comic, you get proportional ownership of 450 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: those sixteen punks. So it's it's kind of like a 451 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: community project in that sense. Okay, hold on, hold on? 452 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: Did you create the sixteen punks? I owned three of them, 453 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: and with my other two partners, we put the sixteen 454 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: kind of together, and that's what we built the store. 455 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: Other people own the other sixteen, and you guys just 456 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: bought them out. So between the three of us, we 457 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: owned all sixteen and when and so we basically put 458 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: them up. And when you buy and invest in the comic, 459 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: you're investing like at a proportional fraction of the sixteen punks, 460 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: is okay? So just to go back, when did you 461 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: get involved in buying the three? This was in March 462 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: or way back before that. I started diving into Top Shot, 463 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: like in December, which is that's right? Yes, top Shot. Yes, 464 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: we did swap a lot of texts about Top Shot 465 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: and almost bought one. Am I your friend almost bought 466 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: one of my It was the Guard on the Kings 467 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: who you love? Yeah. I actually gave Tyr Sauber in 468 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: his first moment. He tweeted about it and we were 469 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: d m NG and he owes me an autographed still, 470 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: so I got I gotta reach out. But yeah, yeah, 471 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: I gave him his first moment. And it's actually been 472 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: rebounding the last couple of weeks as everything else has 473 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: exploded top shot. But that was kind of the entry 474 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: point for me through Juary. Then I started diving into 475 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff. I bought some punks in 476 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: February probably, and then in March we we kind of 477 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: started this concept in this idea, but ultimately, like what 478 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: I was getting at, I was afraid to tell people, like, hey, 479 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: invest in this project. I think it's gonna be worthwhile 480 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: um to to get one. It was point to Ethereum 481 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: at the time, just like seven hundred bucks. So it's 482 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: still like a pretty hefty investment for people point too. 483 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: And this is one March in May when we actually 484 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: dropped launch point to for one, all right, And so 485 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, like seven hundred bucks it's 486 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: a lot, but it's a lot cheaper price point than 487 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: buying a whole crypto punk, right, I mean the time 488 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: that when you need fifty thousand dollars or something, um now, 489 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: like just one purchase of the punk. It's it's like 490 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: a sixty five x in the last few months, like 491 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: the ten thousand punks comics are worth four hundred million 492 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: in the market as of like last night. What it's 493 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: like I And so they're getting to my point. I 494 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: didn't want to be the guys shilling this random n 495 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: f T thing when most people just don't even want 496 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: to like care. And I regret not chilling it harder 497 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: now because it's turned into like a pretty big thing, um, 498 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: like a ton of VC interest and partnerships with some 499 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: really big companies and corporations potentially going forward. And um, 500 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: it's just like it's been obviously a great, great investment 501 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: on my side. But yeah, yeah, I wish I had 502 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: actually kind of gone a little harder on the shill. Okay, 503 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: so you and two buddies own sixteen of the crypto. 504 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Now everybody owns them. Basically, if you have a comic, 505 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: you own it, or if you have a hundred comics, 506 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: you want a bigger part of them. But now everyone 507 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: basically is a community owns the sixteen that we're building 508 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: these comics and stories, and like I p intellectual property 509 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: and branding behind it. And I'll ask the dumb question 510 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: for everyone who's listening, Um, how do you go up 511 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: six on crypto punk comics in four months? It's just 512 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: a matter of it's like market dynamics, right, like people 513 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: want them, then they buy them. It was weird, like 514 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: it took over. It took almost four weeks to sell 515 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: out the ten thousand. A lot of these n f 516 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: T projects the last few months, they sell out in 517 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: like twenty minutes, and they're doing a similar like nine 518 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: to ten thousand numbered whatever. Uh ours took almost four 519 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: weeks to sell out, and for a while you could 520 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: still buy them for like point to five or point 521 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: three in the secondary market. And then we just started 522 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: adding a lot of like for example, when you have 523 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 1: a proportion of the sixteen crypto punks, you have them 524 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: via punks tokens that represent your actual ownership, and we're 525 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: like doing merch dividends from merch that we do down 526 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: the road, those profits get funneled into punks tokens holders, 527 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: so now you're almost like you're investing in the company 528 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: and the I P and the branding itself. So that 529 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: spiked something. And then we announced like these meta heroes 530 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: that are gonna be UM actually launching later this week, 531 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: where there's the superhero characters that we're going to kind 532 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: of bring into the punks comic. Like back in the 533 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: day with d C and Marvel when they started doing comics, um, 534 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: they didn't actually have superheroes at first. Then they started 535 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: introducing like Batman and it was like this novel concept 536 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: or Superman, and so it's similar to that where we've 537 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: brought in some of these meta hero characters. UM. So 538 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: it's just it's just probably that's still like gearing up, 539 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: but people kind of see the future of what it 540 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: could be, right like the Marvel of this virtual and 541 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: ft metaverse world. And yeah, and so you know what, 542 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: where do you think the endgame is? Would you guys 543 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: end up trying to sell and walk away or do 544 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: you just build this like Marvel Comics and just hold 545 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: onto it and build this juggernaut. I think since it's so, 546 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean the whole space is surrounded around decentralization, right, 547 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: making it a community thing where everyone can be a 548 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: part of it. UM. I think the end goal is 549 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: where everyone feels like they're involved, they have even if 550 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: it's a small fraction of whatever the value is of 551 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: this UM. Everyone kind of has their say to some extent, 552 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and so like selling out to a VC. I know, 553 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: like especially our main business to have guys named Sean, 554 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: He's they've they've talked to vcs plenty and been you know, 555 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: the way that you can get in right now is 556 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: to buy comics like everyone else. And that's also probably 557 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: why the floor has been raising pretty significantly. Is I 558 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: think you've had like hobby collectors n f T you know, people, analysts, whatever. 559 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: But you've also I think had some more main dream 560 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: higher end like for example, there was a big fund 561 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: that they came in and bought a hundred crypto punks 562 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: and a bunch of these like generative art projects. The 563 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: last it was about three weeks ago, and like stuff 564 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: just kind of been running since. But I think you've 565 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: had some kind of like real players on the corporate 566 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: or VC level that are shutting to invest in the 567 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: n f T space. And and so I guess to 568 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: answer your question, then how did it really rise that quickly? 569 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: We've added value, we have a great community, a great team, 570 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: and then I think it's just a lot of the 571 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: investors that are entering the space or pushing it there. 572 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: It sounds a little speculative. So is it mostly people 573 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: who are speculative jumping in open to make money or 574 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: people who are actually fans, and like what kind of 575 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: people are these are leading? Like sports fans are just 576 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: like dads or young kids, teenagers. It's a mix of everything. 577 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: I think there's there's a lot of people that came 578 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: from like the NBA top Shot community, which kind of 579 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: bridge that gap of mainstream to n f T space 580 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: just for a lot um. Then there's a lot of 581 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: just from crypto from the last few years that have 582 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: kind of come over to the n f T space. 583 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: And then yeah, you'll have random debts that are just 584 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: like doing this on the side, they have real jobs 585 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: to Like, It's definitely just like any other community would 586 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: be or fan base, right, So, uh, it is definitely speculative. 587 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: And at this point for the price, it's just to 588 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: get one comic U now is like over twenty when 589 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: when before it was you know, like seven, I wouldn't 590 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't tell anyone to go by it now unless 591 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: like you know, your bankrolled enough that it doesn't mean 592 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: I mean, um, so, I mean I'm just trying to 593 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: think like this is it seems like again I'm maybe 594 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm generalizing, but a lot of the young folks are 595 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: in the top shot are into this speculative n f 596 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: T stuff. A lot of the younger people I even 597 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: play pick up basketball with, like they don't really have 598 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: jobs like you, and I will not you anymore like me. 599 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: Where it's like they're doing a lot of this, Like 600 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's day trading, but the 601 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: speculative online stuff, it sounds like a lot of it 602 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: might be hitting or are we just not hearing about 603 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: the mrs. I think a lot of it is hitting. 604 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff in gaming, and it's something 605 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: I've kind of dip my toes in and I couldn't 606 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: speak very knowledgeably on um. But there's one game in 607 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: particulars So again, it's like decentralizing gaming where players of 608 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: the game can actually earn the game currency and then 609 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: trade it for like ethereum or bitcoin and then eventually 610 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: dollars if they want. So there's this new game called Axe, 611 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: and again kids everywhere internationally are playing this. It's blown up. 612 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: It's x I e AX infinite and it's essentially like say, 613 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: it's like it's like playing out the world warcraft game 614 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: or something like that, except it's all on the blockchain 615 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: and as you play, you earn this currency and you 616 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: basically get paid to play, and you play with n 617 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: f T characters and so it's like this whole like 618 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: like you said, the younger generation is so like forward 619 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: thinking virtual metaverse, like that's where they see things, and 620 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: it's I think harder for that thirty and older age 621 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: group to really grasp it um. But the under thirty, 622 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: like you're saying, like these kids don't really have jobs. 623 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: They talk about trading Wall Street bets and crypto and 624 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: then f then they play games like all day. It's like, 625 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: how how do you do that? There's ways to actually 626 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: like make money from it, and so I think it's 627 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: actually viable. We just don't want to say that it is, 628 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: but it definitely. I work. I work on a team 629 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: side project. Real quick. We have a team of like 630 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: over three hundred of these scholars or players that play 631 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: this Axi game out of the Philippines. You make like 632 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: forty five bucks a day in the Philippines. It's massive, right, 633 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: and so which we basically provide them with liquidity to 634 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: use the Axi n f T s, which might cost 635 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: one like two thousand dollars that no one could get 636 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: in the Philippines to start playing. We say, hey, here 637 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: you go, start playing. You keep seventy of what you 638 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: earn as you play, and we'll take and so it's 639 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: like a win win, And so there's people like in 640 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: different countries. Venezuela is another one. We have some players 641 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: in that are actually making pretty good money and they're younger, 642 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: and I just kind of I think the direction of 643 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: this first, right, So you say, you keep saying we 644 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: make money, So is this a fund that you started? 645 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Is this uh dow's It's basically a decentralized LLC. It 646 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: stands for a decentralized autonomous organization. It's essentially an entity 647 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: or an LLC that we pulled together some funds and 648 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: basically we have a team manager that played Axie for 649 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: the last few months and like basically trains the scholars 650 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: and advises them and they play and it's just yeah, 651 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: it just kind of recoups. I mean, it's a good 652 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: way to kind of pay back their community to like 653 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: they're like Philippines. Venezuela, Brazil is another one that's up 654 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: and coming. There's some countries in Africa where like all 655 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: these countries now have like a way to earn especially 656 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: at that age group, where generally it's not the case. 657 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: So so let's say Joe Bob comes Todd and says, hey, 658 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: I want in on the Axe. What can I give you? 659 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: Ten thousand dollars? And I get like a half percent 660 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: or something, and then all of a sudden they're in. 661 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: And then are you seeing dividend checks monthly from these 662 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: guys playing AXI? So this this just started like six 663 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago, but and we had to close our initial rays, 664 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: so we're not allowing anyone in. We copped it at 665 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: forty seats and there will only ever be seats. And 666 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: it's with these people man like way richer than me, 667 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: Like the liquidity is never an issue. It's like like 668 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars, like they wouldn't even continue. You also 669 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: need to kind of have a value add outside of 670 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: the money, like if if you have a connection to 671 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: so and so or someone at this gaming platform, or 672 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: if you're working with, you know, this company that does 673 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: stuff in the sports space. Because eventually we're gonna do 674 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: tournament series like every month and try to take ACTI 675 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: and these like play to earn n f T games 676 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: will call them and do like any sports series around them. 677 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: And so it was more like if you're connected, you 678 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: can get in. Um. But it's it's it's pretty nice. 679 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: I just it's weird kind of like visualizing these kids 680 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: playing games all day in other countries, but it's like 681 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: it goes so far and they're always so grateful and um, 682 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: so that's kind of part of it, I think, is 683 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: that we're giving back to that community and they're able 684 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: to then pay it forward and give back to either 685 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: their friends start playing or their community there and where 686 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: they live. One question I glossed over, Um, that's obvious. 687 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 1: You should playing on the blockchain. This is not an 688 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: Xbox game that you can play over online. You play 689 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: online like yeah, it's it's connected. So it's the whole 690 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: concept of of like blockchain stuff is called web three. 691 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: Like we've lived in like the web two world for 692 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: a while. Web three is where and they play on 693 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: their computers, like on their desktops. Um, But that's yeah, 694 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: you don't. I don't think you can actually like tag 695 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: an Xbox controller and play. But it's very similar just 696 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: from a game structure. If people want to go check 697 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: it out. So kind of like Pokemon, except it's three 698 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: on three and so it's like Pokemon mixed with like 699 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: some sort of like World of Warcraft where you go 700 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: to different parts of this land and there's different arenas 701 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: and you compete, but with these three little axes, and 702 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: so it's kind of like a mix of Pokemon and 703 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: World of Warcraft. I think, yeah, you have to. I 704 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: hope that people listening understand I've never heard of this 705 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: until you just mentioned it, never read it anywhere, never 706 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: heard of it. It's almost foreign to me. But I 707 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: mean I never did Pokemon or World of Warcraft, so 708 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't really know. But it sounds like something I 709 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: should maybe steer my kids into looking at it. But 710 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: it sounds like more of a teenage thing. Yeah, you 711 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: probably mean probably wait till they're a little bit older. 712 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: You don't want him getting like totally like caught up 713 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: in it. But and it's like there's a lot of meta. 714 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: It's like there's like some magic the gathering kind of 715 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: like game theory in the game itself too, So you definitely, like, 716 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, an eight or ten year old, I don't 717 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: remember how your kids are, but it would be tough 718 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: for them, Okay, it wouldn't be really easy for them 719 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: to like jump in and have success. All right, So 720 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: it definitely is catered towards like high school and post 721 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: high school. It is just for the sake of the 722 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: challenge right in the game theory involved this is so 723 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: even nerdy. I can't believe I'm admitting this, But so 724 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: my wife had heard about this Elon must school called 725 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: the Synthesis School. It's like online, I don't know if 726 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: you've heard of it, and you have to kind of 727 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: apply to get in, and my son applied me got in. 728 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: So it starts doing this over zoom and it's like, 729 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, kind of creative thinking, problem solving stuff, and 730 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: I decide I'll listen to some of the zooms, you know, 731 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: just to hear. It's like a group of kids and um, 732 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: one of the moderators goes, okay, does anybody, um, does 733 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: anybody know? And start saying these these terminologies and I'm like, 734 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: what are they talking about? Like I don't even know 735 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: what this stuff is. And you know, my son, like 736 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: nobody really knew, and I'm like, how how is he gonna? 737 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: And he's like crushing it and does this once or 738 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: twice a week. And I don't think it's similar to 739 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: totally what you're talking about. By the way, have you 740 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: heard of Synthesis school? You know, I've heard of. Um, 741 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: is it something you have would consider sending your kids too? 742 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: I never dug into it. I just knew that he 743 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: had started that school up and was offering basically that 744 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to people, and I never dug into it. But 745 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: my kids are younger, but it sounds like it's a 746 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: good experience, Like and like, does your kid like to 747 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: code at all? Like anything? We haven't Have you heard 748 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: of I D Tech? Huh? Yeah? Yeah, So we're doing 749 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: the coding classes for kids who you like, get an 750 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: instructor and he's like there you know, they play roadblocks, 751 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: and UM, just see this, Yeah it is. That's actually 752 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: what I'm not as well versed in the actual gaming 753 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: space myself, but that is like one of the two 754 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: or three games they always bring up when they're talking 755 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: about like comparison. Interesting, there you're familiar. So for this 756 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: I D Tech, will you do like a private one 757 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: on one and they basically you tell the instructor, Hey, 758 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: I want to make a game with this that and this, 759 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, well let's code it to together. 760 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: So my son and daughter each are making their own 761 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: game and they're recently you've got to the point where 762 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: their their friends are joining them to play the game. 763 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 1: And it's like basic stuff, but it's the beginning. And 764 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, and again me and my wife are like, listen, 765 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: if they give you homework, we can't help you with 766 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: this stuff. I don't understand any of this. Would you 767 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: code at all? I do know a little bit. I 768 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: took a like I did like a boot camp years 769 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: ago for four months straight and learned some basics so 770 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: I could make a really crappy website. Right now, I'll 771 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: say this, sob see if there's one recommendation after getting 772 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: your kids into some form of learning how to code 773 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: or build things just in the tech space, I think 774 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: that's massive. So you guys are on the right track 775 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: the whole web three like building n f T stuff. 776 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: It's a particular language within the code and called solidity. 777 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: And right now, like if you're trying to do an 778 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: n f T project, you cannot find a solidity developer 779 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: that's available. They like they're just all taken. Now you 780 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: can learn if you're if you're pretty well versed in 781 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: code anyways and development, you can learn solidity and you 782 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: can learn how to build these smart contracts that you know, 783 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: basically integrate onto the blockchain and actually function. But I 784 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: would seechest anyone that has kids that do code or 785 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: have some sort of tech background. They're in high school, 786 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: maybe they're in college. If you learn how to learn 787 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: how to code solidity and build smart contracts on the 788 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: three in block chain in the next year or two, 789 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: you're going to be set for life, like without without 790 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: a doubt. In my mind, I think that's like the 791 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: warl And again, it's tough for people to wrap their 792 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: head around this, but this is where it's headed, right, Like, 793 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: we're still in what years into the Internet basically, Yeah, 794 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 1: it's still pretty early relative to write like you think forever. 795 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: We're only twenty five years into the Internet. Yeah, it's 796 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: just gonna keep getting you know. So I guess i'll 797 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: ask this at the end um And this is a 798 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: tough question. I don't know if you want to answer this. 799 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: So based on some of the stuff you've got cook 800 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: in Preston, it sounds like you're never going to work 801 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: a day job for the rest of your life. Is 802 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: that a fair statement. I think you're young, you're not 803 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to go to an office or in anybody. 804 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: I've never had to do that. It's been a blessing 805 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: for sure. And I've shared this. What ESPN you have 806 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: to go into the office. I definitely don't count that. 807 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: Like as a thirty year old, I got to do 808 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: ESPN and do TV for two years. It was like 809 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,439 Speaker 1: exhausting and tiring, sometimes writing articles. But I never took 810 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: that as like working a day job or going into 811 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: and most of it I never went into an office. 812 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: It was just like a studio for you know, two 813 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: hours to shoot. Yeah, but it's well, I guess what 814 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: I say. What I'm trying to ask is like it 815 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: sounds like some of this stuff is really taken off 816 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: with you, dude. Yes, it's I've been blessed. And I 817 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: will say this when I said I've never had the 818 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: day job a lot. I gotta give a lot of credit, 819 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: which I have a few times. But to my wife 820 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: while I was finishing my master's degree, while I started betting, um, 821 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: most people at that age, because I got I got 822 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: married pretty early. Most people at that age, they're they're 823 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: all they're their sole income. You start betting, if you 824 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: have a bad run or something like, you have to 825 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: work a while and make some money back, and then 826 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: you try again and try to bet right. So I 827 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: was fortunate enough where I could take more risks early 828 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: because she always had a job too and was able 829 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: to bring income in. So having that, like dual income 830 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: one a long way. So I don't try to credit 831 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: myself entirely. I had to give her a shout out, 832 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: even though she'll never actually listen to this. But you 833 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: don't think she listened to sports podcast. Come on, she 834 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: probably listens to some stuff on like my Twitter feeds. 835 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: So maybe when I when I retweet this out later 836 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: in the week, maybe maybe there's a chance. But she 837 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: definitely gave me that opportunity when I had some money 838 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: from poker way early on i finished school. It's like 839 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: I can put this all towards betting and see where 840 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: this goes, as opposed to, hey, we need this money 841 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 1: to pay for food and rent and whatever else. Uh, 842 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, I had a second person. They're helping me, 843 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: and she did well her space, so that that went 844 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: a long way. So always again, stay within your means, 845 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, but that that definitely helped where 846 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: I didn't have to after college start taking regular jobs. Yeah. 847 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: My my wife, you know, before we were married, she 848 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: basically had a job making good money, and I was like, 849 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: I think I should quit to do this website. And 850 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: then I kind of got lucky with it. Um, I 851 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: wasn't making any money and then the website sold. But 852 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: you guys are married before you started the website. Then no, okay, 853 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: I started the website like oh six we got married, No. Seven. Yeah, 854 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: it was close when we were living together. We were 855 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: living together. Yeah, it was obvious. Um, so you hold on, 856 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: let me interject. You don't know if you would have 857 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: stuck quit and done the website then if she wasn't 858 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: working too, and you guys weren't together, potentially, well it 859 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: made it way easier. Yeah. She was making over you know, 860 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: she was um pharmaceutical sales rep the devices, and like, 861 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, she's doing great and I could just be 862 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: at home doing the blog. I quit my job at 863 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: US Weekly. Yeah it worked out great. I mean obviously 864 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 1: the wives are huge. But just to go back one 865 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: last thing, because I wrote down some notes because this 866 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: axe on blockchain so fascinating. It almost says like, you know, 867 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: I made that investment in the soccer team in Mexico. 868 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 1: I think I had maybe mentioned it to you. Um, 869 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: I don't know some basketball team to potentially say, say, 870 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: almost the same group. But it's like you said, you 871 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: can't just come in and say, hey, here's five hundred dollars, 872 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: I want an axe, Like what else do you bring 873 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: to the table the soccer group, like they got a 874 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: diverse group, Like you know they bring an the Longoria 875 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: because guess what the soccer team is in Mexico, and 876 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: Eva Longoria is tracking massive in Mexico. You know, I'm 877 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: sure there's some similarity for AXI now and now you 878 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: have if I mentioned all of this pitching a potential 879 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: addition to the group to the DOO uh yeah, that 880 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: would probably work and work wonders and if you were 881 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: able to get to a number of like half a million, 882 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: like for sure. So we've actually had like contacts with 883 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: some people in Venezuela, one of the members of the 884 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: DOW and we have some of these players that are 885 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: in Venezuela. We're trying to get to We just said 886 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: a meeting with Loud gig is the biggest e sports 887 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: team out of Brazil. Yesterday. I don't if you remember 888 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: I actually speak Portuguese. We were able to, that's right. Yeah, 889 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: you should tell people your Mormon and did your mission. 890 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: I served a mission in Portugal, so I lived in 891 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: Portugal for a few years. I can still speak Portuguese 892 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: pretty well, so that was a blessing. But we haven't 893 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: actually had a connection to Mexico yet. So if there's 894 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: something there, which there is now that I'm thinking it 895 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: through a little bit live on the spot, yeah, we 896 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: can definitely talk about it further. Yeah. Yeah, well claims 897 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: like that, Like it's pretty easy to convince the guys. 898 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: MLS All Star Game is this week, and our team 899 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: has a box out here in l A. So like 900 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna go meet all the rest of the investors. 901 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I mean I brought in Ozil from 902 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: you know, from Turkey. Obviously he is one of the owners. 903 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's here for the game. Um, 904 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, but like that group is super smart and 905 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: they know what they're doing building. It sounds like your 906 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: AX group. By the way, are you running the board? 907 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: Can I ask that? Or no? I'm like really low 908 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: and the total pull up forty joke is this is 909 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: this a Jeff Ma thing or no, No, he's He's 910 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: not included at all. To be completely honest, he that's 911 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: again another person that I know could have invested in 912 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: the punk's comic early. I should have shielled it harder, 913 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: and I feel bad I didn't because he had, you know, 914 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: extra money. He could have just taken a shot on it. 915 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: But he's not. He hasn't really dove and he does 916 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: crypto stuff but nothing, nothing crazy. You basically, Preston Johnson 917 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: is crushing it. You need to get in his world, 918 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: in his space, and um, this might be one of 919 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: the most random but informative pods we've taped in a while. Um, 920 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: I love this stuff. Yeah, I mean you're you're bringing 921 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: new stuff to the table. People are getting smarter. Uh. 922 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: Do you want to pop up anything? Uh? Here on 923 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: to close out the pod? Do you want to mention 924 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: where people can check out your comics? You can check 925 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: out the comps. I don't need to pub the comic honestly, 926 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: Like people can see it on my Twitter feed at 927 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: sports Cheetah. But every day at four Easter one Pacific, 928 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: I do a daily sports show where we take calls 929 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: and talk through their best and basically we tracked them 930 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: throughout the month and we give away cash at the 931 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: end of the month to the colors that have the 932 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: best records. That actually, I'm gonna be calling in before 933 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: Week one in the NFL and he's gonna hate my picks. 934 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: Definitely possibly will hate them. Uh. And then we're also 935 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: doing a betting Extraordinaire show that launches next week, which 936 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: sounds just like who wants to be a betting Extraordinaire? 937 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: It sounds like what it is where we do these 938 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: another again. People call in their seven days or seven 939 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: tiers of cash we give away if you make correct picks. 940 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: Um That launches on Monday next week.
