But I'll tell you what, there's nothing like the thrill of opening that physical pack and holding the cards. I mean, call me old school, but now how beautiful the cards are and the designs and all that, that's a hard experience to replace. And I don't know that it has to replace it. I think it's, you know, again, and... Not or, you know, in that regard.

Oh yeah. Like literally, I mean, what are the breaks and whatnot and all that? Yeah. I mean, we have our own whatnot channel. Like we've, we've sold 500 items already. Like we've, we're in it, man.

Yeah, man, that'd be fun. It's a fun industry and it's... Look, it's brought my sons and I close up, you know, I have, I'm not sure how all these companies and my kids know I do podcasting.
