$6M NFT Sale, $4K Claw Pull & Blockz Unboxed: Coffee w/ Captain #1,261

because I do like Tate, I do like Tyson, if you can ever stay healthy. But they just, it's not just the two-eyed receivers. They added incredible offense to Vlyman, they added incredible safety. This is on top of what I thought was a bad move, trading the second pick last year. And at Graham at this point, I think almost every team would rather have Graham than Travis Hunter. He's doing fine as a DB, but was not worth the number two pick and they were absolutely right to take a haul for that instead. But yeah, they look really good. Like, Munkin is in his bag. The offense looks good. Their young core of Kasey Kasey Kasey Kasey Kasey Kasey Kasey Kasey on Denzel Boston, Harold Fanon, and Quintran Judkins, it's elite. Like, there's a world where fast forward a few years, and you're talking about Kasey on in Boston in Fanon as the top pass-catching trio in all of football. And people had been knocking Judkins, like, oh, he's just a two-down back. He can't get out like six passes last night. It looks good. And now I know Samson's out, and maybe that changes when he returns. But yeah, the Browns looking really good to start the year. We go catch your tickets. My thing was the only couchy bet I had so far this week. I'll probably fire up some more on Sunday, but I didn't have the Browns last night, so catch that ticket. And Bestball and DFS actually did not hit on DFS because I had watts and over Rogers in the builds and Rogers ended up putting up more fantasy points. But did you have some good builds in the Bestball Streets for the prime time slate? And not doing my best job here, opening up the show, 1261, not a perfect one yet, not a single week perfect today. But the Space's link, the X video link, both of those are pinned up top. And in about three seconds, the YouTube link will be pinned up there, along with the abstract link. Ghost Smash, if you want to join either of those chats, you can find them up top. If you haven't given a set sub on YouTube yet, that would be my biggest ass. Say, 15 days till 8th, that is sneaking up on me. I need to make some more precise plans, but I am looking forward to it. I think I don't have confirmation. I hope I get into these side events, if not, I mean, pretty bummed. And I guess I'll just be hanging out at the beach until the actual 8th fest, because I don't think I've gotten confirmation back on any of the side events that I had registered for. My understanding is most of them are full or filling up. So if you are at an 8th fest and you want to go to some of the, yeah, I'm not, be epic, I am not condoning any of the Sean Watson's extracurricular activities. I'm not saying, I think he's out. Like I think he's like, it's good they're getting something out of him this year. I thought Watson, I mean, I thought the Browns would be really in really good position next year. The downside of them winning games now is they may be playing themselves out of an early draft pick. That said, the draft class is so deep in 27 that there's a chance. And I, like I know, Archmaning is still projected to be the, Archmaning is still projected to be the number one quarterback. I don't, I don't know if he's that good. I've not been impressed with Arch. I'm not a professional scout. So what do I know? Yeah, I don't point me in as the best quarterback might be drafted at pick 21 next year or pick one. I don't know, but they don't resign him. So winning is such a bad thing for the future. They don't resign who I don't think they resigned Watson for sure. I hope not. And but they needed to they had to pay him and, you know, getting some dubs. And Cleveland's electric like, while, I'll pull, I'd like I'd like to see them compete and win just any of you good for the city. I don't, you know, they fans, they like to see the teams win. They're not reading for the losses. I can say it's a smart thing to do because give them a better draft pick next year. But people, people don't like, you know, fans don't typically like seeing their teams tank. Yes, Dorit, I will be signing up for the Stompworker event on Saturday. It's going to be kind of ironic if the only side of it I get into is the Stompworker event at 8 Fest. Um, I'm whatever. I'm not, I can't say anything because every time I say anything about yoga or apes or 8 Fest, I don't know. People are mean, people are mean and they just, whatever. You can't, you can't say anything that's not positive. It's same with same with pudgies. Say it's just like the, the bag defenders are out hardcore and, um, yeah. I guess I'm also an entitled Pudgy Pinguad Holder, even though I don't hold a Pudgy, because I'm critical about their communications or lack their help around, around abstract. It's just a stream on abstract. Still having sort of yoga asset, but, uh, yeah, people are big bad that I am authentic and, and share my real feelings. Um, yeah, go get registered because most of them side events have filled up or filling up. And, um, yeah, I, I don't know. Right now, as of now, I'm going to 8 Fest. And I'm going to, I was just checking some emails and, um, yeah, nothing, nothing confirmed yet. Some refunds on the way as price and was changed. I can buy merch. I'm eligible to buy merch, pre, pre, pre buy merch, but, um, that's the only thing that has been granted so far. We will see. Um, yeah. We'd have a lot to get into today. So I'm going to jump right into it enough football talk for cool open, but, uh, congratulations on the brown signs out there. It's been a minute. I got to hope CJ Strauss is good to the browns. Um, he's just, he's also not good. Sorry, his, he's okay, but he's not, um, I don't think I franchise quarterback. And yet, but we do agree. Arch is just, it's, it's, I'm not saying he's a nepo baby. I mean, he is a nepo baby, but I feel there's like a lot of the archmaning hype is because of his last name. And the Pat degree, maybe deserved it, but like from his grandpa, like his dad wasn't a great quarterback, his dad played wide receiver and, um, you know, didn't even make it to the show. It's his uncles who are, you know, super, but winning quarterbacks and his grandpa did okay. But anyways, I digress. Um, yes, side events are real small. It sounds like there might be like 50, 60 people at some of these. They're probably a good point. They'll probably be some impromptu gatherings. Um, although I'm staying, I'm staying at the, at the beach. So I, the impromptu stuff, I'm probably going to miss out. I'm not staying at like the downtown hotel where I think some people are staying. And so it's going to be, it's, it's, it's, this is maybe like the most unique, eight thus so far. I don't know what to expect. Very, very, very different than one's prior, at least for me because, um, usually it's, I got more side events than I can attend, can't make them all. And they're, you know, we're all staying in the same hotel or same vicinity and, um, you know, there is a lot of impromptu events as part of the fun. But this year there's not like an official hotel per se. And, um, speaking of what happened to a, a safe, apes concierge or is he? I haven't, it just hit me like live here on the show. Uh, he, uh, does puts together incredible events. Man, swity does for living in his core business and organized a hotel last year. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with streamboards. I need, I need to reach out to thank you, but I appreciate you attempting to buy me coffee. But I will, um, I noticed I was down this morning too, actually as well. I was going to offer it up to someone else wanted us to shout out their project, which I will. Uh, I was going to say, hey, you can, uh, pick a spot on the board for some extra extra coverage, but, um, yeah, it's down. I don't, I don't know, um, I don't know why, but I will find out. Uh, I know they were working on it. It is, you know, very much to obey. Uh, I might have been the only third party using it. So, yeah, I will, uh, I'll send a message and figure out what's going on there. But thank you for the attempt to buy me coffee. Um, what was it going though? Um, oh, Ace of Dig. Go. Uh, I wonder, I wonder if you took an L, uh, the Vegas, uh, he was a big uh, I was not saying this to like, I don't like, I like Ace of I don't, I wasn't trying. I didn't realize he went, he goes to after a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, was not my intent, uh, to, uh, yeah. Wow. Okay. So you had the last, um, last post for a year ago. Interesting. Um, well, I'm going to DM me today. Make sure he's okay texting because I really liked him. I thought he does a great job at these events and I did not realize that it's, it's also like the doubt. Like here I go again, when I make it up to comment and people are going to get out of context and give me a big mad at me and call me some entitled diva. So I would choose my words carefully or at least attempt to think you do this in real time. Just became aware that Ace of is last post were in October. Well, eight concierge posts last post for October for, for eight concierge, eight pass. I thought it was cool concept. Uh, we had a, Steven, I, if you remember like the, the romantic dinner that Steve and I shared under the Eiffel Tower on Valentine's Day, 2024, I think might have been 25. I've been 20, 25 actually. Um, Ace of organized that just to, you know, I, I've enjoyed everything that he's been a part of. I thought last year, I know I did not go to the actual party at the hotel, but the hotel was great. He pulled together a book of, I don't know, 100 rooms or so. And see, it kind of makes me sad that I don't know what happened. I get, I hope he's okay. I really don't know. I truly hope he's all right. Where I was going with this, I see Mike coming up. It's, it can't make this up. I'm going to share my screen right now so you can don't think I'm making it up. But the post I was actually reading in real time as I was thinking through this was my camel says, appreciate it. Glad you had a good time. I'm sorry. It was eight concierge. I appreciate glad you had a good time. It was a recor 20 Mike's to us who said one of the great times I had an Eiffel Tower was eight concierge. RobTop10ner talking about whether eight coin is a utility coin or mean coin. My perception that apes are not down when they made it for 300 less and general stuff, general life stuff. And look at that sunset. He did this in Vegas, Paris. I mean, you can see like, I, I, I, it's been unanimous of the events that he's hosted or whether it was dinners. He pulled together. The people I really enjoyed it really had a great time. And you know, look at this. Look at those two good looking guys. Jason and Steve obviously can talk about here. NFT hoarder coincidentally hosting the. parkers meet up in. Saturday tailgating casual no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ginger's just people getting together and hanging out watching some college football pre-vimied for eight fest. So really looking forward to that. I will be there to her. But. Man, this is a look at that. I can't make this stuff up here. Horder Perth first of all him with the legend Gordon Gawner. at least one other legend there was Steve, although I need to brush out this mug, this super gulp, 108 ounce, 128 ounce mug. It's a nice mug. I got it. I don't remember where it was. I think it must have been at the Conflux Con booth, the gotcha machine, is where I won that I think and brought it home. I think it's still got stickers and stuff and it's from the event. It's like, this is super cool, but that's what I need to be drinking coffee in. So I don't have to, although I won't, because it's plastic and I won't put, I won't put hot coffee in plastic and drink plastic. That's not my, in all seriousness, complete digression, but in all seriousness, there is a plastic documentary out with some mind-blowing statistics. In particular, the one that I will quote is, I've not watched the documentary I've just seen clips in the timeline. They, there were couples who were having, they were struggling getting pregnant, going through like fertility treatments, struggling getting pregnant. Long story short, they, for like 90 days, removed all plastics. So stop using plastic, Tupperware or stop using plastic cutting boards, which you should do not only is it like, not gonna put hot stuff on plastic, because you get the microplastics, but so you're also like cutting little plastic shards when you use the cutting board, switch to wood cutting boards, some idea a few years back and never look back. Half of the couples that, wherein this documentary, this study, half of them got pregnant within 90 days after removing plastics from their home. So yeah, quick, extremely extreme digression. I saw a squirrel in the form of a plastic mug from a picture from Jason Horter. You're here really getting the glimpse. For those that are listening to the podcast, I'm letting the hell is, how did he get on this topic? Because I pulled up a picture of ape concierge from Mike Himmel Repose. I saw a picture of NFT Horter, Jason, that one featured Gordon Gawder, one featured me and Steve with him. And then the other, some incredible looking board shorts.
