It's like, it's the stupidest shit. But now that I'm in it, I'm seeing all of it. And I see, you know, Chris, this is what happened. This year, like for NFL, Panini's had the exclusive rights to the NFL. So what that means is Tops cards this year doesn't have any logos on it. So you'll get like... you know, Josh Allen, but it has no Buffalo Bills logo.

It says Buffalo and it says Bills, but there's no logos on their helmets or their jerseys. It's odd. And it's like unnecessary. I'm like, why can't you sell more than one license to both companies? If they both want to make cards, then, you know, double it up here. But like starting next year, Topps is going to have a Panini wand and their cards won't have logos. It's just dumb. It's dumb.

It's not good for the, you know. It's not good for the culture. No. It's like... And it keeps me from buying a cert card.

Well, the Tops, see, that's the thing. They go to these other measures to make it. They get the autographs agreements with some of the hottest players. So then if you want that player's card as a rookie with an autograph, you have to buy the Tops first, and he has no logo on his helmet.

So there it is. More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans. It's hard for me to know if there's a reflection definitively of... the exact economics of tariffs right now, or if this is just the proliferation of the buy now pay layer expanding into more things. Yeah. Like it's a little bit of both. I mean, I wanted that steak last night.

I didn't quite have enough money, but I wanted it. So I'm going to finance this baby over 30 days. Interest free. What a world. I mean, Coachella, you know more about this story than me. Same concept.

Yeah. The, I just think back to kind of like the topic we talked about, you know, people kind of want the spoils without the work. It's like, oh, I'm going to keep this lifestyle up, but I don't want to go work for it. I mean, that's kind of where my head goes. The Coachella, not to buy the groceries.
