• WEBVTT 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.900 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome into episode three 00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:17.000 of tables tailgates and top loaders I'm your 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.359 host TB aka Tim Beardsley and this is the only 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.980 place Where you can hear talk about the Buffalo 00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.420 Bills the sports in the trading card world and 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.239 the spectacle that is professional wrestling. 00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.300 I can't thank you enough for being here. If this 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.280 is your first time, I encourage you to go back, 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.479 check out episode one. If you've already listened 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.899 to that in episode two, well, thank you again 00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:40.500 for tuning in. So today we have a lot to talk 00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.920 about this episode. I am absolutely itching to 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.159 dive into what happened at the last WWE pay per 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.799 view money in the bank, especially after my last 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.579 episode, episode two, where I talked on and on 00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:56.759 about our truth for about 15 minutes, but we're 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.780 going to put that to the side for a minute. We 00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.399 need to start with the tailgating portion of 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.140 the program this week. I didn't want to do it. 00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:07.480 I really didn't. But it seems he has left me 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.439 with no choice. The topic to start none other 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.060 than number four, James Cook. So Bill's Mafia. 00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:20.299 How are we feeling now? This story involving 00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:24.700 Cook has been going on for quite some time. And 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:26.799 I didn't like I said, I didn't want to talk about 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.969 it. I've tried my best to ignore it, but it seems 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:33.310 like things are getting progressively worse. 00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:35.430 So I thought maybe we should look at the whole 00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:37.950 timeline of this mess and see if we can figure 00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:41.409 out some sort of a solution. So I'm a problem 00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:43.769 solver. I like to try and solve things. So maybe 00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:46.689 I can come up with a completely made up, completely 00:01:46.689 --> 00:01:49.810 fictitious, completely ridiculous way of dealing 00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:53.390 with the James Cook contract issue. It's fun. 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.900 I had a good time coming up with this on my commute 00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:58.519 to work. So let's dive in now. Let's look at 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.219 the timeline. So the rumblings began all the 00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:05.079 way back in February. If you remember the Superbowl, 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.259 the Superbowl just concluded. It was the Eagles 00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:10.699 and who was that team they played? Oh yeah, the 00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:14.039 Chiefs. They got steamrolled. It was glorious. 00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:16.659 I didn't like either team, but you know, when 00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:18.159 the Chiefs are playing in the Superbowl, you 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.520 got to root for whoever. It takes to beat the 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.039 crap out of them and lucky for us the Chiefs 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.099 got rolled So suddenly after the game James Cook 00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:30.280 is on the Instagram the insta as the kids are 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.500 calling it and He pinned his own tweet that said 00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:37.099 15 mil per year. That's all that was the whole 00:02:37.099 --> 00:02:40.240 tweet He then goes on a talk show with Shannon 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.740 Sharp he goes on this podcast with them and he 00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:45.280 doubles down on the tweet and he says something 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.439 to the effect of Feed me the big bucks. I just 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.120 want to get what I deserve. So let's break that 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.580 down. I just want to get what I deserve. Come 00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.860 on, dude. What are we doing? So fast forward 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:01.199 to the beginning of the spring, Bill's general 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.319 manager, Brandon Bean comes out and says, Yeah, 00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:08.020 it's no secret. It's no surprise. He makes a 00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:11.139 comment about how his agent cooks agent and Bean 00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:13.300 have already talked. They've already tried to 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:16.099 get a deal done. And lo and bold, nothing, nothing 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:18.939 worked out. Big, big surprise to all involved. 00:03:19.129 --> 00:03:22.069 But then he says he can't see a deal getting 00:03:22.069 --> 00:03:24.990 done anytime soon. So it's kind of put on the 00:03:24.990 --> 00:03:26.909 back burner. The bills, the Buffalo Bills turn 00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:30.509 their attention to the draft. Time goes on and 00:03:30.509 --> 00:03:32.610 we don't we don't hear anything. No new news 00:03:32.610 --> 00:03:34.830 about a contract. Meanwhile, all these other 00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:37.270 guys in the team are getting re -upped, re -signed, 00:03:37.389 --> 00:03:40.129 except Cook. And he's kind of sitting off, pouting 00:03:40.129 --> 00:03:43.610 on the side. So now here comes OTAs. And of course, 00:03:43.830 --> 00:03:48.110 Cook is a no show. Now, I'm not one to kind of... 00:03:47.710 --> 00:03:50.189 you know, throw my hands up and yell and scream 00:03:50.189 --> 00:03:52.889 about people that don't show up to OTAs. If they're 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.689 voluntary, in my opinion, then you can't expect 00:03:55.689 --> 00:03:57.969 people to show up. My thing has always been talk 00:03:57.969 --> 00:04:00.289 to me when the mandatory stuff comes around. 00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:02.569 Talk to me when mini camp hits. Talk to me when 00:04:02.569 --> 00:04:04.949 training camp hits, etc. Is he there when he 00:04:04.949 --> 00:04:08.050 absolutely needs to be there? And then the weekend 00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:13.189 happens and NFL guru to the stars, good old Shefty. 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.779 Adam Schefter goes on his own podcast and he 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:21.180 claims cook is Quote disconnected. He says he's 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:25.160 disconnected from the team and the city now It's 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.220 one thing to be disconnected from the team but 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:29.100 then to go on and say he's disconnected from 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:32.120 the city and he basically says We won't be seeing 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.160 him in Buffalo anytime soon. I'm not really sure 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.199 what to make of this It's a little crazy if you 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.740 ask me the fact that now I think there's a rumor 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.699 that he put his house up for sale yada yada yada 00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:47.439 so all this stuff about he's disconnected from 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.180 the team in the city great so here we are and 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:54.379 as a huge Bills fan you know a member of the 00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.259 mafia it puts it puts us in a tough spot trying 00:04:57.259 --> 00:04:59.339 to think rationally i'm trying to see both sides 00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:02.240 of this i can always see the player side especially 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.860 when they're a running back now historically 00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:08.300 running backs their life in the nfl is usually 00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:11.439 pretty short they have a very short shelf life 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.319 so I'm never going to sit here and begrudge a 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.019 player who is trying to make the most they can, 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.560 the most money they can in such a short short 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.759 time frame. But there's also the team side to 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.920 this. So this is a team that was what we were 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.399 in the AFC championship. We were literally what 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.480 three and a half minutes from the Super Bowl, 00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:32.120 three and a half minutes from making the Super 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.819 Bowl. The offense this year, if you compare it 00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:38.500 to last year, very similar. In fact, I think 00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.540 we might be slightly better. We'll go with slightly 00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:44.500 better. If not, we're the same as last year. 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.680 We had a darn good offense. So I think the offense 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.939 this year is looking like it's going to be just 00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:53.360 as good, if not slightly better than last year. 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.259 And then here's your main running back. He's 00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:58.100 putting all this crap out there for the world 00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:02.000 to see. And he's asking for $15 million a year. 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.279 A $15 million a year running back in the NFL 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.180 is bonkers. I mean, It's straight balkers. There 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:13.459 are only three running backs in the entire league 00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:16.980 that make this kind of money. Number one, Derrick 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:19.720 Henry. Now he just signed a two year extension 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.019 paying him $15 million a year. 15 million year 00:06:24.019 --> 00:06:26.759 Derrick Henry. We go with that. How we feel about 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.000 that. He's 31 years old. Now, if you ask me, 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.459 this cat can play until he's probably 75 years 00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:39.329 old. Because because this dude is a total freak 00:06:39.329 --> 00:06:42.370 of nature. He's out training. He's carrying like 00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:44.569 refrigerators He's pulling tanks. He's doing 00:06:44.569 --> 00:06:47.149 this in the most insane workouts. You've ever 00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:50.629 seen like if you've never seen a Travis Travis 00:06:50.629 --> 00:06:53.829 Henry cheese, there's my bills fandom right there. 00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:56.189 We're not gonna resign Travis Henry We're talking 00:06:56.189 --> 00:06:58.970 about Derek Henry if you've never seen a Derek 00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:01.910 Henry workout video Google it, but he's doing 00:07:01.910 --> 00:07:05.389 crazy things. So Congrats Derek, you're the man. 00:07:05.449 --> 00:07:07.930 I'll give you that. You're ridiculous. Christian 00:07:07.930 --> 00:07:11.389 McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey is making 19 million 00:07:11.389 --> 00:07:14.769 dollars a year. 19. Now, how's that working out? 00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:17.470 49ers. How we feel about that? If you're a 49ers 00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:21.829 fan, are you happy with signing McCaffrey? 19 00:07:21.829 --> 00:07:25.110 million. The team kind of fell apart last year. 00:07:25.470 --> 00:07:28.170 When he's on the field, he's electric. When he's 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:32.089 healthy, he's amazing. But is he ever on the 00:07:32.089 --> 00:07:34.839 field? This kind of goes back to the the Joey 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.040 Bosa conversation from from last week. Is this 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.120 dude ever on the field? He seems to be hurt all 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.379 the time. So 19 million dollars a year. I'm not 00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:47.540 sure that's that great of of an idea. And then 00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:49.779 last but not least, of course, we have Saquon 00:07:49.779 --> 00:07:51.779 Barkley just won the Super Bowl with the Eagles 00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:56.480 and his deal averages out to be around 20 .5 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.959 million dollars a year. 20 .5 mil Saquon. Don't 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.740 get me wrong. the dude is a complete stud he's 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:06.759 a beast i have never in my life seen a grown 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:11.180 man jump backwards over another man before that 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:12.980 was one of the craziest highlights i've ever 00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:17.480 seen in the nfl awesome awesome clip but is a 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.980 running back a running back in the nfl worth 00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:23.439 20 .5 million dollars a year i'm not too sure 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.879 about that so good old number four james cook 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.899 he wants to be in that top tier group i will 00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:33.100 be the first to say Cook is good. He is good, 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.399 but he's not that good. Let's break down last 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.980 year's stats. He scored 18 tighties, 16 of them 00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:45.580 are rushing and two receiving. Now, is there 00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:48.139 anyone on the planet, anyone at all that thinks 00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:52.299 he can replicate that? That is a ton of touchdowns, 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.299 a ton. And a lot of that is just based on circumstance. 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.610 So if I were a betting man, I would bet The way 00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:05.850 under so I am NOT on the list of people who think 00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:09.549 this is a repeatable task Even if I did think 00:09:09.549 --> 00:09:13.490 he could repeat 16 rushing to touch to receiving 00:09:13.490 --> 00:09:16.690 touchdowns 15 million dollars a year is is not 00:09:16.690 --> 00:09:19.370 gonna work. It's just not gonna work We're already 00:09:19.370 --> 00:09:22.429 in a cap situation with some of the huge contracts 00:09:22.429 --> 00:09:25.169 we have on this team and with the cap It's just 00:09:25.169 --> 00:09:28.169 not gonna fit as a fan. You're in this weird 00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:32.169 position because you want Your team to sign good 00:09:32.169 --> 00:09:34.429 players and I think James Cook is a good player. 00:09:34.470 --> 00:09:38.350 But is he a good player worth 15? I Can't say 00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:41.309 he is So you feel like you're in this spot where 00:09:41.309 --> 00:09:42.929 there's really nothing you can do and you're 00:09:42.929 --> 00:09:45.049 kind of just waiting around and and seeing what 00:09:45.049 --> 00:09:47.649 happens But that's where I come in. That's where 00:09:47.649 --> 00:09:50.309 I come in What if there was in fact something 00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:54.429 we could do as fans? What if if I come up with 00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:57.389 a completely new way to pay for his contract? 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.259 In a closed -door meeting. I'm gonna present 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:03.840 this brand new off -the -wall scenario to our 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.200 commission Your commission my commission everyone's 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.379 favorite commission Roger Goodell I'm gonna lay 00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:13.820 out a brand new type of Contract tag so everybody 00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:17.120 knows we have the franchise tag right teams use 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.470 that usually a It's a one year sticker, one year 00:10:20.470 --> 00:10:23.350 label they throw on players. Kind of buys them 00:10:23.350 --> 00:10:25.350 some time. And then they also have the transition 00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:30.289 tag. And if you polled 100 NFL fans, no one would 00:10:30.289 --> 00:10:32.490 know what the hell a transition tag is. But it's 00:10:32.490 --> 00:10:36.490 there. It's randomly, seldomly used. Nobody knows 00:10:36.490 --> 00:10:39.230 with this, but I got a proposal for Goodell. 00:10:39.429 --> 00:10:42.740 I'm going to come up with a third. tag. This 00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:46.840 is called the crowdsource tag or CST. Don't confuse 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.559 it with CTE, but CST, the crowdsource tag. Now 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:55.200 in my awesome creation, the crowdsource tag allows 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.799 each team to designate one player on the roster 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.679 who will not fall under the salary cap nor count 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.679 against a 53 man roster. So check this out. This 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.039 is what I came up with. This one player will 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.200 be paid in full solely off the backs of this 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.080 team's season ticket holders. So I'm a season 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.659 ticket holder. I'm part of this. I'm opening 00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:21.600 up my wallet and I am going to be part of this 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.759 crowd source tag. How is it going to work? In 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.139 this example, for example, let's just look at 00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:28.620 the James Cook scenario. Your brand new build 00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:32.299 stadium opening in the fall, kicking off 2026 00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:35.220 season. It's gonna have 62 ,000 seats in it. 00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:37.480 It's gonna be awesome. I can't wait We're gonna 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.639 talk about this stadium in another in another 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.019 episode, but for the sake of time, let's say 00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:46.210 all 62 ,000 of those seats are filled with season 00:11:46.210 --> 00:11:49.429 ticket holders. So they are actually on the hook 00:11:49.429 --> 00:11:52.909 for this contract. So mafia members, season ticket 00:11:52.909 --> 00:11:55.269 holders, you really want a player? Time to pony 00:11:55.269 --> 00:11:58.370 up. They cash. Cook wants a deal paying him 15 00:11:58.370 --> 00:12:01.070 million. Guess what, peeps? I divided it up. 00:12:01.289 --> 00:12:06.009 It's real simple. Your cut, you owe $241 .93. 00:12:06.429 --> 00:12:09.830 What do we think so far? $241 .93. grand total. 00:12:10.490 --> 00:12:12.870 Now, New York State, everyone knows the taxes 00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:15.370 are absolutely through the roof. So let's just 00:12:15.370 --> 00:12:18.970 round it up to 250. We'll go off nice even numbers 00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:21.309 here. We'll call it even. So how do we feel? 00:12:21.769 --> 00:12:24.029 How do we feel about that? 250. For those that 00:12:24.029 --> 00:12:26.500 say they want cook on the team. This is your 00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:29.019 golden opportunity. I think it's brilliant. I 00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:31.120 love this. I love this proposal. I think Adele 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.299 is going to love it. I think you're going to 00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:35.340 love it too. So here you go. You fork over 250 00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:39.960 bucks and you convince the other 61 ,999 season 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.000 ticket holders to do the same. And he signed 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.539 under this brand new crowdsource tag. What do 00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:47.419 we think? Now I came up with some rules because 00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:50.179 we can't have total chaos. We can't have anarchy 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:53.299 in this world. We can't like This ain't WWE. 00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.340 So we have to have rules. We have to have structure. 00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:57.879 Now, here's some rules that came up with every 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.700 team. You get one crowd source tag per year, 00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:03.879 but here's the thing. It needs to be a player 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.519 who's worth something, right? You can't assign 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.500 it to a player who has a contract under $10 million. 00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:13.659 Why? Because the fan needs to be invested. They 00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:15.980 need to feel a little bit. They need to feel 00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:18.779 a little bit of this pain, right? investment. 00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:21.720 It's all about investment. So we can't go asking 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.639 season ticket holders to shell out $1 .75 in 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.600 order to bring back the punter Sam Martin. That's 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:30.679 not what I'm talking about. No one cares about 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.519 that. That's not going to make or break your 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.059 team. No, no, this is for top tier talent only. 00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.870 Also, rule number two. this awesome plan I came 00:13:39.870 --> 00:13:43.029 up with rule number two it has to be agreed upon 00:13:43.029 --> 00:13:47.009 by majority vote of the season ticket pool the 00:13:47.009 --> 00:13:50.029 season ticket holder pool so you can't have one 00:13:50.029 --> 00:13:53.389 trillionaire fan agree to cover everyone's share 00:13:53.389 --> 00:13:56.289 right that would be ridiculous he can't come 00:13:56.289 --> 00:13:59.389 in or she can't come in and save the day and 00:13:59.389 --> 00:14:02.570 pick up everyone's $250 tab that's not what I'm 00:14:02.570 --> 00:14:06.549 talking about you have to agree that everyone 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.440 Every season ticket holder is going to take part 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.919 in this. So as a season ticket holder, here's 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.440 what we do. We add a clause to your ticket contract 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.659 stating that you are now on the hook for this 00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:21.779 brand new crowdsourced contract. Should the majority 00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:24.679 of the season ticket holders vote? Yes. Failure 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.480 to do so means you're in violation of your contract 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.200 and you get cast into the sun. No, I'm just, 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.440 I don't know. I've tried to add some, some fun 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.899 to this, but Everyone has to take part. It's 00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.840 a it's kind of an all or nothing proposition. 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.500 So you get a majority vote and then everyone's 00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:43.200 on the hook for for their share of the contract. 00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:47.159 Look, the way I see it, Goodell, the NFL, they're 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.080 they're always clamoring and screaming and yelling 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.740 for they want more interaction. They're always 00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:56.080 taking our money no matter which way we look, 00:14:56.500 --> 00:15:00.730 no matter how we slice it. So. Let's just let's 00:15:00.730 --> 00:15:02.830 keep pushing this. Let's see how far we can take 00:15:02.830 --> 00:15:06.289 it. One player per year paid in total by the 00:15:06.289 --> 00:15:09.350 fans and ownership. Terry Pugula. Sorry, you 00:15:09.350 --> 00:15:11.950 got no say. If we want James Cook, we're paying 00:15:11.950 --> 00:15:15.169 for James Cook. Now, I also came up with some 00:15:15.169 --> 00:15:17.870 interesting ways to pay for this, because like 00:15:17.870 --> 00:15:20.769 like I said, these ideas when I'm driving to 00:15:20.769 --> 00:15:23.230 work, it's it's four o 'clock in the morning. 00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:26.409 My mind tends to wander. So I came up with some 00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:29.429 options, some ways to pay for this. Now, obviously, 00:15:29.710 --> 00:15:32.809 Option number one, cash is king, right? So you 00:15:32.809 --> 00:15:36.149 pony up the 250. That's easy. That's super simple. 00:15:36.669 --> 00:15:38.769 Another option. Now for this deal, we're looking 00:15:38.769 --> 00:15:41.370 at cook. And like I said, turns out to be, comes 00:15:41.370 --> 00:15:46.029 out to be about $250 is the cost of about one 00:15:46.029 --> 00:15:48.970 game ticket. Now don't come at me with, well, 00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:50.789 that's not accurate. There's some seats that 00:15:50.789 --> 00:15:52.389 are way more and some seats, blah, blah, blah. 00:15:52.470 --> 00:15:54.659 Yeah, I get it. I get it. for the purpose of 00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:57.240 this scenario, every seat in the stadium is going 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.840 to cost around $250. So the second way of paying 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.340 for this contract is for one extremely meaningful 00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:09.659 home game. That's right. Check my words. Extremely 00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:12.899 meaningful home game. You have to sell your seat 00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:16.340 to the opposing team's fan base. So here you 00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:20.629 go. Sunday, November 2nd. 425 in the afternoon 00:16:20.629 --> 00:16:24.190 kickoff, Orchard Park nationally televised game 00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:27.669 against the beleaping Kansas City Chiefs. Picture 00:16:27.669 --> 00:16:30.909 this, you turn on the TV and the entire stadium 00:16:30.909 --> 00:16:34.669 in Orchard Park, Highmark Stadium is filled with 00:16:34.669 --> 00:16:37.779 Chiefs fans. Not one Bills fan is allowed in 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:39.980 the stadium. We are forced to sit and watch this 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:44.679 game at home, on our couch, watching TV. We are 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.860 not allowed in the stadium. This is how we can 00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:49.220 pay for this contract. So we turn on the game. 00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:53.159 We're watching our Bills. Everyone's happy. The 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.299 camera zooms in to see James Cook. And guess 00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:58.080 who's smiling from ear to ear? He's happy. He 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.580 got paid. He is loving life with his 15 mil. 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.890 He got exactly what we want. He got exactly what 00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:09.690 he wanted based off our crowd source tag. I think 00:17:09.690 --> 00:17:13.230 it's brilliant. And so the camera zooms in. Then 00:17:13.230 --> 00:17:16.509 they put that little stat line under his name. 00:17:17.349 --> 00:17:19.690 He thinks he's had a great game because he just 00:17:19.690 --> 00:17:24.990 got paid. And it says 12 carries, 60 yards, one 00:17:24.990 --> 00:17:27.670 rushing touchdown. Oh, but there's a fumble. 00:17:28.069 --> 00:17:30.470 It was returned to the house. Kansas City scores. 00:17:30.769 --> 00:17:32.900 They win the game. Bills lose. What do you think, 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.579 Mafia? Who's in for this awesome scenario? Who's 00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:40.900 in? Who's with me? No? Hey, look, I'm just trying 00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:42.579 to have some fun. That's the whole point of this 00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:45.559 thing. It just puts this into perspective that 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.680 this whole contract nonsense is just ridiculous. 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:51.880 And frankly, I hate talking about it. But can 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.400 you imagine? Can you imagine being allowed as 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.640 a fan base to basically pay for one player? I 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.059 mean, The possibilities are endless. Now, if 00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:02.900 you tell me Justin Jefferson's available and 00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:04.960 I can do this for Justin Jefferson and now I'm 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:09.680 on the hook for for two home games or $500, I 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.579 might reconsider. I might be totally on board 00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:15.119 with this scenario and I would say, whatever 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:20.079 it takes, let's go. So if anyone ever hears or 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.839 gets wind that this idea is coming down from 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.220 Goodell's office, well, you know where you hear 00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:28.319 you heard it. first folks right here on the 3t 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:33.099 podcast with your boy tb so any anyway anyway 00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:35.480 i better get some credit for this awesome idea 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.539 all right let's switch it up wrestling fans wrestling 00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:41.700 fans you are on the hook you are up next how 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:46.640 are we feeling after money in the bank now if 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.539 you're a wrestling fan if you have yet to watch 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.339 the show the money in the bank show it was saturday 00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:54.680 there's gonna be a few spoilers here so if you 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.880 haven't watched the show maybe jump ahead five 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.799 minutes or so but i'm diving in so here we go 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.720 as i said at the beginning last episode episode 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.460 two of the podcast i dove into our truth i talked 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:09.319 about the drama surrounding his contract saying 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.099 it was a bad move and and i kind of laid out 00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:16.319 why and how important he is in the world of wwe 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.700 and the world of professional wrestling well 00:19:18.910 --> 00:19:23.089 Well, folks, as Truth himself would say, you 00:19:23.089 --> 00:19:26.970 got got.

I'd like to think 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.579 that it started some sort of our truth revolution 00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:40.880 and the powers that be kind of came to their 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.660 senses recognized the errors of their ways and 00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:46.299 decided Whoa, we better listen.

I have no idea but 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.559 you know what at the end of money in the bank 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.359 the very last three minutes of the show during 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.039 the tag team match that had John Cena and Logan 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:06.039 Paul teaming up to face Cody Rhodes and Jay Uso. 00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:09.480 There was a big schmozola, a big schmozfest, 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.019 and all of a sudden a hooded figure wearing a 00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:14.700 black sweatshirt runs into the ring, smashes 00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:17.339 Cena with his own belt. The sweatshirt hood gets 00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:21.319 removed and it's none other than, yeah boy, R 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.160 -Truth. He runs off, the good guys win, that's 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.220 that, pay -per -view's over, the place goes nuts. 00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:29.250 Yeah. I got played. I hope I didn't get played, 00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:31.970 but I feel like I got played. But anyway, where 00:20:31.970 --> 00:20:34.470 this goes from here, who the heck knows?

The place went 00:20:42.529 --> 00:20:45.769 absolute, absolutely bonkers. Everyone was super 00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:48.589 happy. Now, WWE, the ball's back in your court. 00:20:49.210 --> 00:20:52.430 You better use this. Do not let me down. Pay 00:20:52.430 --> 00:20:57.190 off this story in a good positive way. Fix the 00:20:57.190 --> 00:21:01.009 Cena mess that you've created because it's been 00:21:01.009 --> 00:21:06.009 a fiasco since the elimination chamber and the 00:21:06.009 --> 00:21:09.210 greatest heel turn since Hollywood Hulk Hogan. 00:21:09.609 --> 00:21:12.549 Don't screw this up. You have to fix this mess. 00:21:13.009 --> 00:21:15.589 So now the match itself, the tag team match, 00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:18.240 it wasn't the greatest match. but there are some 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.779 good points like the logan paul moonsault from 00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:25.619 the turnbuckle to the announce table or was it 00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:27.920 uh right right near the turnbuckle he was like 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.180 on the second rope it was a thing of beauty it 00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:34.599 was freaking awesome if you haven't seen it check 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.880 it out that was probably the high point of the 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.839 match side note real quick because i have to 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:44.559 i have to say this jay uso i don't know i don't 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.099 know I don't know what is going on with Jey Uso. 00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:50.759 I get it. He has a huge following. The place 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.960 goes nuts. The entrance is awesome. The music 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.960 is great. He looks good. Everyone's doing the 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.299 yeet chant. It's five minutes and then it's repeated 00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:05.720 and then it's another five minutes and I've been 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:08.980 an Uso fan for a while, but I'm not sure how 00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:11.400 I'm feeling about this title run. I got to say 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.789 the I don't want to be negative. I don't want 00:22:13.789 --> 00:22:16.910 to be negative, but can someone please teach 00:22:16.910 --> 00:22:21.309 the champion Jey Uso to actually put a sleeper 00:22:21.309 --> 00:22:23.529 hold on the right way. I'm watching this match. 00:22:23.569 --> 00:22:26.130 He applies the sleeper hold and I'm like, what 00:22:26.130 --> 00:22:29.150 the hell are you doing? Your hands look terrible. 00:22:29.609 --> 00:22:31.910 Like you wouldn't even tap out a four year old 00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:34.990 if you put this lock on. So what is going on? 00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:38.670 Someone has to tell this guy how to put on a 00:22:38.670 --> 00:22:42.680 sleeper hold for the love of God. Anyway, I digress 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.880 let's talk about the rest of the show the show 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.799 started off with a Banger the women's money in 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.440 the bank match ladies hats off applause Encore 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.940 you freaking crushed it that match was sick now 00:22:57.940 --> 00:23:00.660 in the future I want to do an episode just talking 00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:03.720 about the state of women's wrestling but in that 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.720 match and that very ring you had six of the absolute 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.549 top major players in the state of women's wrestling. 00:23:11.769 --> 00:23:14.950 And it was great. It was great. Everyone played 00:23:14.950 --> 00:23:17.490 their role perfectly. There were some sick spots. 00:23:17.730 --> 00:23:21.410 You have so much talent that is fresh, that is 00:23:21.410 --> 00:23:24.650 new. Mixing with some of the women that have 00:23:24.650 --> 00:23:26.690 been there for a little bit. The match goes on. 00:23:26.829 --> 00:23:29.730 Naomi pulls off the victory. I was super excited 00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:31.910 to see her win. Can't wait to see where it goes. 00:23:32.009 --> 00:23:35.470 I love the new work she's doing. I love the new 00:23:35.470 --> 00:23:40.119 attitude. And I'm hopeful that she takes the 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.599 briefcase uses the gimmick and kind of tapes 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.880 it all up her thing is proceed with caution i 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.420 love that line it's awesome it's an awesome tagline 00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:51.980 she needs to literally take the briefcase and 00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:55.200 wrap that wrap that thing up with yellow caution 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.559 tape i think it would look sick the more the 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.380 better make it look like it's a freaking crime 00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:02.720 scene and that would be great it would be so 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.289 cool Like I said, there were some absolute sick 00:24:05.289 --> 00:24:08.710 spots, sick spots in that match. They did some 00:24:08.710 --> 00:24:11.630 crazy dangerous spots, crazy stuff. It worked 00:24:11.630 --> 00:24:14.450 great. And they crushed it. They did. At one 00:24:14.450 --> 00:24:17.910 point there was a dual code reds off the ladders. 00:24:17.950 --> 00:24:20.670 It looked sick. And then of course the crowd 00:24:20.670 --> 00:24:23.670 going absolutely bonkers for Stephanie Vakir 00:24:23.670 --> 00:24:27.809 when she hits her signature devil's kiss on Rhea 00:24:27.809 --> 00:24:32.519 Ripley on top of a ladder. I mean, The place 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.799 was going bonkers. She is an absolute star in 00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:37.980 the making. All in all, can't say it enough. 00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:41.960 That was a great freaking match. The man, Becky 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.240 Lynch, one of my favorites. It was so good to 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.200 see her reclaim gold. That match was great. Great 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.279 match against Lyra Valkyria. I wasn't a huge 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.019 fan of the finish. It just seems weird that they're 00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:56.039 trading match endings back and forth, roll ups 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.619 and she grabbed their tights and I'm like, what? 00:24:59.849 --> 00:25:02.009 After that match, you just put on, why are we 00:25:02.009 --> 00:25:05.630 doing that stupid finisher? But I did appreciate 00:25:05.630 --> 00:25:08.930 the post -match shenanigans. I thought they were 00:25:08.930 --> 00:25:13.210 well done. So Becky wins, so she forces Valkyria 00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:16.269 to raise her arm. And then she makes her parader 00:25:16.269 --> 00:25:19.170 around the ring, making sure she showcases her 00:25:19.170 --> 00:25:21.470 as the winner to each side of the arena. I thought 00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:25.130 it was great. And then finally, at one point, 00:25:25.269 --> 00:25:27.490 Valkyria has enough and just drops her, lays 00:25:27.490 --> 00:25:29.819 her out. Really good stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed 00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:32.559 that and then we get to the men's money in the 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.539 bank match now There were some weird players 00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:37.440 in this one. It started a bit slow The match 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.440 started slow the first 10 minutes or so was kind 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.019 of yeah, just whatever and then the last stretch 00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:48.700 was Pure absolute chaos and it was great a couple 00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:50.920 things that stood out tip of the cap to solo 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.559 Sokoa I have not been the biggest fan of his 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:58.089 I got to be honest. I think His character has 00:25:58.089 --> 00:25:59.970 been getting stale. I think it's been getting 00:25:59.970 --> 00:26:02.809 old. I was getting kind of tired of it. But if 00:26:02.809 --> 00:26:05.910 he can keep tapping into what he did in this 00:26:05.910 --> 00:26:08.609 match, he was going around mocking everyone, 00:26:08.670 --> 00:26:11.990 joking, doing little dances, doing this bad guy 00:26:11.990 --> 00:26:15.089 act, doing funny bits and just mocking the other 00:26:15.089 --> 00:26:19.630 wrestlers. It was hilarious. Him mocking Penta 00:26:19.630 --> 00:26:22.869 with his signature, you know, the three finger 00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:25.430 thing in the air and and just mocking him and 00:26:25.430 --> 00:26:28.170 then doing the LA night thing, it was awesome. 00:26:28.589 --> 00:26:32.890 And I was just rolling, watching Solo's facial 00:26:32.890 --> 00:26:35.309 expressions and what he was doing during the 00:26:35.309 --> 00:26:38.670 match. It was gold. Now the match goes on, it 00:26:38.670 --> 00:26:42.160 gets to be chaotic. tons of outside interference. 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.420 We see the legal team of Braun and Braun, Braun 00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:48.539 and, uh, Bronson, Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed. 00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:50.660 We see them come down, of course, because, you 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:53.279 know, they're, they're sass goons. We see Jacob 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.480 Fatu and, uh, JC Mateo, the newest and what 18th, 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.099 20th member of the bloodline. Jacob does some 00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:05.519 great stuff. He finally sets up his feud with 00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:09.539 Solo, um, screams out, I hate you Solo. It's 00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:12.440 just great. Like. great stuff and then of course 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.380 the match ends with ultimately Seth freaking 00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:17.440 Rollins grabbing the case winning the money in 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.640 the bank again the last time he had the briefcase 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:23.740 it was one of the coolest cash -ins it was great 00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:26.940 great moment him cashing in at WrestleMania awesome 00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:30.039 awesome to see I was actually hoping for El Grande 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.539 Americano to win but you know what I will take 00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:36.640 it The match was good. It was a fun time all 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:38.579 in all at the end of the day And that's really 00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:40.900 all I can ask for when I watch these shows is 00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:43.680 after if I'm gonna sit down and invest Three 00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.279 to four hours on a PLE. I hate calling them freaking 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.220 PLEs. I call them pay -per -views I've always 00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:51.839 called them pay -per -views But if I have to 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.500 invest three to four hours in a pay -per -view 00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:56.240 all I can ask for is that I feel like it was 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.619 Time well spent and that I had a good time. So 00:27:59.619 --> 00:28:02.460 that's all I can ask for but there's one issue 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.559 One thing I want to talk about, and I feel it's 00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.640 getting worse and worse. What the heck is going 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.619 on with all the freaking sponsorships? I mean, 00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:15.500 I'm watching this pay -per -view and it looks 00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:18.940 like WWE has lost their damn minds. At one point, 00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:22.259 I get a text from my son. He texts me and I look 00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:24.319 at it. He's watching the show and it says, the 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.940 text says, these rings are turning into NASCAR's 00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:30.190 with all these ads. He's absolutely right. The 00:28:30.190 --> 00:28:32.849 ring canvas is literally covered with sponsors 00:28:32.849 --> 00:28:36.349 all over the mat. At a certain point in the Money 00:28:36.349 --> 00:28:39.069 in the Bank match, the men's match, they kind 00:28:39.069 --> 00:28:41.950 of alluded and hinted at this earlier in the 00:28:41.950 --> 00:28:45.180 show, but at some point in the match, El Grande 00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:48.700 Americano pulls out a 15 -foot ladder that is 00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:52.039 covered in advertising From fireball whiskey. 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.859 It's the fireball whiskey ladder and everyone's 00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:57.380 like, oh and they're just keep rambling on and 00:28:57.380 --> 00:29:01.200 on about fireball whiskey and I'm like What the 00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.079 hell are we doing? I thought we were watching 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.700 a wrestling show and the ring is plastered in 00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:11.900 advertising and there's a literal sponsorship 00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:15.549 gimmick in the middle of one of the main matches 00:29:15.549 --> 00:29:18.990 of the pay -per -view. And it's just getting 00:29:18.990 --> 00:29:21.569 ridiculous. Am I the only one that thinks this 00:29:21.569 --> 00:29:24.190 is absolutely ridiculous? I think it's a damn 00:29:24.190 --> 00:29:27.730 shame, really. I mean, according to everyone, 00:29:27.970 --> 00:29:31.450 everyone in the wrestling community, WWE, all 00:29:31.450 --> 00:29:35.750 the marketing, they are raking in money. Raking 00:29:35.750 --> 00:29:38.509 in money. Ticket sales have never been better. 00:29:38.809 --> 00:29:41.829 They're they're selling like hotcakes merch sales 00:29:41.829 --> 00:29:44.250 are through the roof TV deals are crazy They 00:29:44.250 --> 00:29:47.630 just signed a how many billion dollar deal with 00:29:47.630 --> 00:29:53.369 with with Netflix and and they go to Have their 00:29:53.369 --> 00:29:56.829 shows over in Saudi Arabia and they get paid 00:29:56.829 --> 00:29:59.289 out the ass for that stuff and it's just like 00:29:59.289 --> 00:30:03.089 They're making so much money Do they really need? 00:30:03.690 --> 00:30:06.269 To cover the ring with all these freaking scholarships 00:30:06.269 --> 00:30:09.990 it scholarships Sponsorship sponsorships. I wish 00:30:09.990 --> 00:30:11.690 they were scholarships if they were scholarships, 00:30:11.730 --> 00:30:14.589 I'd be all on board Hey the kids in the back 00:30:14.589 --> 00:30:16.710 row of the arena you get a scholarship. Okay, 00:30:16.809 --> 00:30:20.230 great. But no, they're literally covered in Sponsor 00:30:20.230 --> 00:30:22.890 why I can't talk sponsorships. That's how upset 00:30:22.890 --> 00:30:25.529 I am. It makes no sense to me No sense at all. 00:30:25.670 --> 00:30:28.269 It's distracting. It's stupid and the fact that 00:30:28.269 --> 00:30:31.460 they're Literally reading ads in the middle of 00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:35.640 a match about a fireball whiskey ladder is kind 00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:39.079 of ridiculous, so We'll see how this thing plays 00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.660 out moving forward. I have no hope that will 00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:45.319 ever get better, but Anyway, it was a good pay 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.359 -per -view. I enjoyed it. The briefcases are 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:51.619 now in the hands of their rightful owners temporarily 00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:54.500 at least, and we shall see what happens. It's 00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:57.180 always a fun time trying to guess when they're 00:30:57.180 --> 00:31:00.339 going to cash in. So Naomi, Seth Rollins, congratulations. 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.500 Mr. and Mrs. Money in the Bank winners.

And finally, last but not least, let's 00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:13.500 talk collecting. So how are we feeling, cardboard 00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:16.680 enthusiasts?

And then of course we talked about it last 00:31:55.140 --> 00:32:00.440 episode we have 2025 tops series 2 baseball now 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:02.839 the baseball top series 2 comes out Wednesday, 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.039 but I've already seen people posting videos and 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:10.579 product reviews on on YouTube of product openings 00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:14.079 things like that and so I watched I watched a 00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:18.119 video of a jumbo box opening It's exactly what 00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:21.119 I expected exactly what I expected now again 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:24.519 as I discussed Flagship product is series 1 series 00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:27.099 2 and update so the design of the main base cards 00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:29.380 is going to be exactly the same So it looks exactly 00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:32.779 the cards look exactly like series 1 which is 00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:36.000 fine Wasn't a huge fan of the product during 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.299 series 1 not a huge fan of design It's it's okay. 00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:42.980 It's it's fine. It's whatever I will say there 00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:45.940 are a couple of insert cards that I do think 00:32:45.940 --> 00:32:48.609 are pretty cool I think they're probably way 00:32:48.609 --> 00:32:51.869 overproduced, but the OPS leader card inserts, 00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:55.170 I like those. The summer superstar cards, they're 00:32:55.170 --> 00:32:57.210 kind of cool. I think they're flashy. I think 00:32:57.210 --> 00:32:59.630 they pop. Like I said, they're probably massively 00:32:59.630 --> 00:33:03.430 overproduced, but other than that, and my personal 00:33:03.430 --> 00:33:07.029 favorite from 2025 series one, the 90s throwback 00:33:07.029 --> 00:33:10.730 cards. I love these freaking cards. I had a James 00:33:10.730 --> 00:33:14.519 Wood 90s throwback rookie auto. I love that card. 00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:17.519 I want to collect the entire set of the 90s inserts 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.920 I think those are badass but the rest of this 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.079 the rest of the series I was like and it's exactly 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:26.319 right I'm watching this guy and he's talking 00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.420 up these rookies as he hitting them and it's 00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.319 it's one name after another and I'm like these 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.160 guys are all trash so I don't know what we're 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.519 what we're getting excited about but it's just 00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.079 like I said last week rookie pitcher after rookie 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.059 pitcher after rookie pitcher that No one cares 00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:43.960 about that. No one has ever heard of and really 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:48.039 there's no good chase in this product. So I actually 00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.940 might be passing on series two, which is disappointing. 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:55.119 Or what I have found historically looking back 00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:58.819 through the years is once we get through this 00:33:58.819 --> 00:34:01.180 initial rush, you're going to see the product. 00:34:01.579 --> 00:34:04.819 the price of the product drop way down. So this 00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:06.819 time next year, if you're interested in going 00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:08.500 back and putting the set together or something 00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:11.000 like that, you're going to be able to find hobby 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.320 boxes, jumbo boxes, stuff like that. You're going 00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.659 to be able to find it for way cheaper than it's 00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:17.699 currently going for now. Now there's a couple 00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:20.760 other products, non -sport stuff that I thought 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.820 was kind of cool. Panini's actually releasing 00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:28.260 a Rolling Stones, the band Rolling Stones card 00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:31.440 set and It looks pretty cool. It looks pretty 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:34.559 cool. But what I want to do every week, I want 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.880 to have a new segment that is called if money 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:41.880 were no object by the week. So basically, if 00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:44.980 I could buy anything I wanted, what would I spend 00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:48.480 my money on? Well, I found it this week. It is 00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.760 awesome. It is the Rambo keepsake collection. 00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:55.559 Premier edition now. If you get a chance, look 00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.239 at this card set up. It is pretty damn cool, 00:34:59.300 --> 00:35:03.579 right? For the low, low price of $160, you get 00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:07.860 one enclosed relic card. Now a relic could be 00:35:07.860 --> 00:35:10.940 something pertaining to Rambo 1, Rambo 2, or 00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:16.159 Rambo 3. You get a one five card pack, probably 00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.840 base cards, and then you get a card that's encased 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:22.710 in like a stand and Looked through kind of a 00:35:22.710 --> 00:35:25.190 checklist maybe sort of I'm not sure what I was 00:35:25.190 --> 00:35:29.809 looking at but there's Relic cards, there's storyboard 00:35:29.809 --> 00:35:31.610 cards. These look awesome. They're almost like 00:35:31.610 --> 00:35:34.090 these hand -drawn cards that kind of lay out 00:35:34.090 --> 00:35:36.750 different Themes and different scenes in the 00:35:36.750 --> 00:35:39.409 movie. They look sweet and then they have these 00:35:39.409 --> 00:35:44.130 prop cards which look awesome. So If money were 00:35:44.130 --> 00:35:46.110 no object, what would I buy this week? I would 00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:49.110 buy the Rambo keepsake collection premier edition 00:35:49.110 --> 00:35:53.289 for $159 .95. Coming soon. I think it comes out 00:35:53.289 --> 00:35:56.690 this week. It looks awesome. I'm super excited 00:35:56.690 --> 00:35:59.670 for that. Will I buy it in reality? No, but like 00:35:59.670 --> 00:36:02.010 I said, if money were no object, that's what 00:36:02.010 --> 00:36:05.809 I would dive into. So yeah. Now I want to finish 00:36:05.809 --> 00:36:09.699 up this episode by talking about something that 00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:12.360 kind of bothered me this week. I want to talk 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.420 about the type of collectors there are out there. 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:19.840 I'm seeing more and more videos on social media 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.099 and the internet that, how can I say this nicely, 00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:27.539 they don't portray us in a very favorable or 00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:30.739 positive light. In fact, they make us look like 00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:34.940 a bunch of morons and it's pretty disappointing. 00:36:35.309 --> 00:36:37.869 I'm not talking about the type of collector you 00:36:37.869 --> 00:36:39.690 are, whether you're a baseball guy, football 00:36:39.690 --> 00:36:43.889 guy, Pokemon guy, I'm just talking about how 00:36:43.889 --> 00:36:47.369 you choose to go about collecting. Now some people 00:36:47.369 --> 00:36:50.190 stay at home and they order their stuff online, 00:36:50.250 --> 00:36:52.570 they go to eBay, they buy singles, they do this, 00:36:52.570 --> 00:36:55.449 they do that, they get stuff directly through 00:36:55.449 --> 00:37:00.429 Tops or Panini or, you know, some of the distributor 00:37:00.429 --> 00:37:03.269 companies, Dave and Adams, Blowout Cards, etc. 00:37:03.829 --> 00:37:06.550 Other people... choose to go the retail route. 00:37:06.889 --> 00:37:10.309 So maybe they're a little lower end. They can't 00:37:10.309 --> 00:37:13.269 afford some of the higher priced products and 00:37:13.269 --> 00:37:15.090 there's nothing wrong with this. It's completely 00:37:15.090 --> 00:37:19.010 fine. But then there's this third beast that's 00:37:19.010 --> 00:37:22.670 kind of making the rounds on the socials. And 00:37:22.670 --> 00:37:26.329 it's pretty, pretty bad. These are the videos 00:37:26.329 --> 00:37:30.250 of these morons, these absolute morons who are 00:37:30.250 --> 00:37:33.670 literally going to a retail store and taking 00:37:34.030 --> 00:37:37.949 the entire stock. Scalpers, call them whatever 00:37:37.949 --> 00:37:40.110 you will. I don't care what you want to call 00:37:40.110 --> 00:37:42.829 them, they're freaking tool bags and it's pissing 00:37:42.829 --> 00:37:46.349 me off. Now, we can get into an argument over 00:37:46.349 --> 00:37:49.110 supply and demand and well they're just out to 00:37:49.110 --> 00:37:50.929 make a buck and then they're gonna, no, they're 00:37:50.929 --> 00:37:53.829 taking the product instead of buying what a normal 00:37:53.829 --> 00:37:56.909 human being would buy and get a box or two and 00:37:56.909 --> 00:37:58.690 maybe you're taking it home, you're open it for 00:37:58.690 --> 00:38:00.429 yourself or you're giving it to your kids or 00:38:00.429 --> 00:38:03.230 whatever the case may be. You're literally buying 00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:07.500 Saw a video of a guy buying like 90 some boxes 00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:10.480 of a Pokemon product at a Costco. He literally 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:16.159 took almost the entire palette of stuff and This 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.480 is just it's a joke and he's laughing about it 00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.920 and I'm seeing other videos of grown men butting 00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.699 in front of children and and and filling carts 00:38:24.699 --> 00:38:29.039 and their arms and with with product and it's 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.980 It's kind of pathetic and it's very frustrating 00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:35.579 to me I never experienced this, you know, 40 00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:38.300 years ago or 35 years ago when I was a kid, but 00:38:38.300 --> 00:38:41.420 I can't, I can't even imagine that if I was a 00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:44.480 kid trying to shop and I save up money and I 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.880 want to go buy something at the store, I want 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:49.460 to buy a pair of, or a pack of Pokemon cards 00:38:49.460 --> 00:38:53.480 or a new football box and, and I save up and 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.820 look, stuff is freaking expensive, right? So 00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:58.840 you, you have to save up a lot of money. And 00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.440 you go and you're waiting because you know the 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.820 product's gonna be released on a certain day 00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:05.559 And you get there and the store is filled with 00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:10.079 these overgrown Overweight buffoons who can't 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.219 figure out what day of the week it is and how 00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:14.380 to tie their shoes and they look Ridiculous. 00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:16.960 I'll give you an example. I don't live in a very 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:20.119 big town So I have one Walmart and the one Walmart 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:24.639 is literally the only retail establishment that 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.599 stocks trading cards And they are terrible at 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.519 this, by the way, terrible. But every time I 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:33.679 go in there, I know exactly where the cards are. 00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:38.320 It's pretty close to the main entrance. And it's 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.719 pretty much in the middle of everything. So you 00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:44.440 walk in and you take a quick right and you peek 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:46.860 down the aisle and you can see, hey, is there 00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:49.619 anything in the aisle? Is there not? Is it empty? 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.539 And you go about your business. It takes me three 00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:56.289 seconds. So I go in there to shop to get I had 00:39:56.289 --> 00:39:58.530 like two or three things that I needed to get 00:39:58.530 --> 00:40:01.110 so I park I walk in I'm like let me just walk 00:40:01.110 --> 00:40:03.710 real quick by the aisle the the training card 00:40:03.710 --> 00:40:07.730 aisle and as I'm approaching the aisle I see 00:40:07.730 --> 00:40:13.510 this ginormous man grown man probably in his 00:40:13.510 --> 00:40:18.659 early 40s maybe maybe mid 40s Don't somewhere 00:40:18.659 --> 00:40:21.440 around there. It's hard to say and he's leaning 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.480 on a shopping cart. He has probably anywhere 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:29.760 between 330 to 350 pounds he's wearing a huge 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.260 bulky hoodie and he's wearing basketball shorts 00:40:33.260 --> 00:40:37.539 and just nasty sneakers and he's Crouched over 00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:40.679 the handle of the shopping cart on his phone 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:42.860 and he's at the end of the aisle So he's essentially 00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:45.840 blocking the aisle. No one can get in or out 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:49.179 of this aisle And I look down the aisle and I 00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:52.480 see an older lady who's an employee of the store 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:56.059 and she has a cart that's full of merchandise 00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:59.920 on shelved merchandise. So like, you know, unboxed. 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:03.679 So she's opening the boxes. She's stocking the 00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:06.780 shelf is what she's doing.

This 00:42:58.860 --> 00:43:01.500 is a hobby of mine. But there's already some 00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:03.739 kind of negative connotations, if you know what 00:43:03.739 --> 00:43:06.739 I mean, when it... Is related to this field right 00:43:06.739 --> 00:43:08.619 or wrong? That's just the way it is We don't 00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:11.000 need to contribute to that. I know there are 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.139 a ton of good people good human beings in the 00:43:13.139 --> 00:43:17.360 hobby space but at the same time these losers 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.960 these dirtbags are not helping to forward the 00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.500 positivity that I think we can do as a hobby 00:43:25.500 --> 00:43:28.420 and This is where I wish like we talked about 00:43:28.420 --> 00:43:31.190 last week some of the WWE releases This would 00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:35.650 be the perfect place for Walmart to hire Braun 00:43:35.650 --> 00:43:38.590 Strowman who just got released from his wrestling 00:43:38.590 --> 00:43:42.670 contract he can he can be right next to the The 00:43:42.670 --> 00:43:45.010 the old lady stuck in the shelf and when this 00:43:45.010 --> 00:43:47.889 dirtbag shows up He can literally like power 00:43:47.889 --> 00:43:49.909 slam the guy into the freaking parking lot. I 00:43:49.909 --> 00:43:52.730 would pay to see that I would pay to see Braun 00:43:52.730 --> 00:43:56.219 Strowman power slam drive To that train thing 00:43:56.219 --> 00:43:58.360 he does the locomotion thing where he runs around 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.239 the ring and just plows the guy through the barricade 00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:03.739 I would love to see him do that and plow this 00:44:03.739 --> 00:44:09.639 big 350 pound Sloppy mess into the cosmetic session 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:13.000 Section, I think that would be hilarious. So 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.099 that's what I would like to propose To the wwe 00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:18.840 before you release these guys send them to local 00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:20.940 card establishments send them to costco Send 00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:23.199 them the target send them the walmart put them 00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.559 on the hip of your card stocking employee and 00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.780 protect them at all costs because They are the 00:44:30.780 --> 00:44:35.079 gatekeepers.

Stop with the scalping. 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:43.099 You look like a bunch of morons and you're not 00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:46.579 helping the hobby. Okay. Can we try that?
