Share episode

Two mics, one space heater, and a dream: we kick off the first week of Big Jay’s Replays and tell the truth about building a local game shop from the ground up. From weather-thinned foot traffic to a rush of trade-ins—PS2 hauls, stacks of DVDs and CDs, and a shocker of vintage TMNT figures worth serious cash—we walk through the moves that matter: fair valuations, flexible appointments, and setting up play areas that make people linger. It’s messy, real, and way more fun than the glossy version.

Behind the counter, the numbers get interesting. We break down credit card processing fees by brand, swipe charges, percent-of-transaction rates, hardware costs, monthly support, and PCI compliance. No sugarcoating—just the actual overhead small retailers face and why some pass fees to customers. Jay doesn’t. He’s betting on loyalty, momentum, and the simple magic of a welcoming store. That spirit spills into neighbor relations too: clearing up a back-entrance issue, swapping a gift card for a cross-promo giveaway, and building a mini-ecosystem with the card shop next door so collectors hit both spots in one trip.

Then we throw sparks with music discovery. Wolves at the Gate delivers melody and muscle, Stained With Silver brings moody cinematic textures, and Resistor’s “Mutt” drops a turntablist into metal, filling a groove we didn’t know we missed. We spiral into the wild world of “The John Candy,” AI-tinted visuals, and sample-packed chaos, before pivoting to EDM anthems, Eurodance nostalgia, and Little Big’s “LollyBomb,” whose towering build-ups punch like a perfect breakdown. If you love retro games, underground bands, and the thrill of finding gold where the algorithm sleeps, you’ll feel right at home.

Stick around for holiday wishes and a promise to keep uncovering the good stuff—on shelves and in playlists. If this ride hits your frequency, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your favorite discovery from the episode in a review so others can find us too.

I love how the turtles, the turtles are supposed to be ninjas, right? They're supposed to be incognito, they're supposed to like kind of live in the shadows, but they had a big turtle blip with their fucking name on it.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

It kind of it kind of goes against the whole idea of ninja, right? It's like, holy shit, like a lot of these at night. They can only flay out. Oh, yeah. It's like, look, there's a big blip that says Teenage Mute Ninja Turtles on it. I don't know if it I don't think it had their name in the cartoon, but it's like you see a big blip with a turtle shell outline on it, you kind of look up and say, Oh shit, there's some turtles on that thing. I just thought it was kind of weird that it kind of goes against the whole ninja mantra. I don't know. Call me crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but it was uh but I'm working on that trade right now and trying to get that done. And but uh and then I took a DVD Blu-ray trade today, so we got a lot of good movies and stuff in and CDs to get your heat.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_04:

I got they gave us a radiator heater that I have to plug into the wall. So I'm no joke, I leave it on. It's a radiator heater, it ain't gonna light on fire, just lay it, just stands there.

SPEAKER_06:

Sometimes those get really hot.

SPEAKER_04:

They do, but I don't have it around anything.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

So I got that uh sit in the middle of the floor and just got I'll leave it on. I'm not turning, I'm not fucking.

SPEAKER_06:

SPEAKER_06:

Dude, I put your ret masker over here. They they have to have that shit to you, man. That has to be f they have to give you it a reasonable You can't just not have heat in your fucking place.

SPEAKER_04:

They're getting it, they're gonna replace it, I guess. So I'm hoping I'm hoping that means it's a good replacement, like an actual decent furnace and not some fucking 1950s hang-in-the-corner garage fucking thing that's ran by goddamn sp wheels and turbines.

SPEAKER_06:

Come on, man.

SPEAKER_04:

But it is, you know, like it's not bad. It is, it's not crazy cold in there. Cause I got like no joke, I got a heater on the side of my desk. I point right at me, dude, and then there's a one on the floor. I have people come in today like, yeah, I don't feel too bad in here. But but yeah, it's really cool, man. It's coming along, and I love the store. I love being there.

SPEAKER_06:

So I saw I saw you're giving away a uh uh you're doing a giveaway, you're giving away a uh switch, but you're also giving away Gable's garage$50 gift card, too. Yes. So I assume you two are cool.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, we're he was okay. So what was what was really crazy about it? The other day I went over or I was in the store, and I had uh I had homeless people sitting in the back of my store in the like I have a little corridor, like I said. Yeah, and there's homeless people sitting out there, four of them. Jesus, dude. And they had a boom box and they're just blaring their music. Okay, so to me, it doesn't bother me. I don't really give a shit. You can sit on my back doorstep, nobody knows. It doesn't say Big J's replays on it or nothing like that. Yeah, I don't care. Sure. But Gable's garage, they're next, they're my next door neighbor, right? They have a back entrance. And he goes, and he could so he comes in and he goes, Hey, he goes, I don't know if you know this or not, but there's there's homeless people, like a whole like there's like four of them blare music and and just carrying on and doing whatever out on your back step. And he goes, honestly, people aren't gonna come into my store if there's a bunch of homeless people like sitting out there, you know, doing whatever. And I'm like, okay, you know, because I mean I don't really care. Like I said, I don't give a shit. If they want to sit there, that was a cool noise. If they want to sit there, um, then I'm totally cool with that. But so I ended up having to go outside and tell them, like, I was like, hey guys, I'm sorry, but I'm getting complaints. You're gonna have to like kind of bounce out and get the fuck out of here. And they were like, they're like, oh man, I just opened up my alcohol. Oh my god. Dudes back there drinking, and they're like, I'm like, dude, you guys are homeless, dude, and you guys are fucking eating. How do you have drinking?

SPEAKER_06:

How do you have alcohol and stuff? Yeah, the fuck?

SPEAKER_04:

It's called priorities or free.

SPEAKER_06:

I guess. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But what was kind of cool, like, so I did that, and then um I told I was came back in, I talked to the Gables guy, and I said, Hey, I said, I want to buy a$50 gift card um for our giveaway from you. You know, that way some they come in, you know, whoever comes in, I want to help support you. He's like, All right. And then uh I was looking at his hat. So give me a second, I want to look at your hats too. And I went over and looked at his hats because he has flat bill hats, and one of them was like a half Jason Voorhees, half Michael Myers, like red and black. Oh, that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_06:

That's sick.

SPEAKER_04:

And I came back over and he goes, which one of those hats were you looking at that you were you're liking or whatever? And I said, Well, I like that Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers one. He goes, Snatch it up, man. So you can have it. I was like, Oh no shit. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

So I I said, you know, I want to spend money, dude. I don't want you to just give me shit. He goes, You are you're buying a gift card, dude. That's your you're good. So I was like, Oh, that's really cool, man. Thank you. So bought a gift card, brought it over, did the video. I ended up giving that hat away because somebody else liked it. I was like, you can have it, dude. Here you go. Because I dude, honestly, my bills have to be a certain way. Yeah, like I like when they stay straight or they're down. Yeah. This sucker was like this, man. I was like fresh, oh I was halfway to fresh principles. I don't like that shit. I got a Ninja Turtles hat at home. Yeah, I would love to wear. Right. But the bill just goes like it goes like this. And I I cannot stand that, dude. I don't want that.

SPEAKER_06:

I got you. Um I wear dad hats, so I really I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, dude, like I don't know why, but I've been addicted to like I wore this same shit yesterday, dude. I love the fit of this this hat and this. I'm just I don't know.

SPEAKER_06:

I was looking, I'm I've been yeah, I've been like an all-black kind of like I feel like I'm in my goth goth age right now.

SPEAKER_04:

Or I'm drinking the Kool-Aid and passing out on my bunk bed. So if we look with the black shoes and everything on, yeah. Little David Crush kind of shit.

SPEAKER_06:

But no, I um that's cool you guys are kind of because I know you like when you first met him, it was a little dicey, a little dicey.

SPEAKER_04:

No, we're we're pretty cool, man. It's it's it's been pretty nice lately, dude.

SPEAKER_06:

I mean, I honestly I don't know why. Like I could see where maybe he would be threatened by you, but if anything, you guys are like you guys should work, you guys go together really well. Like he sells Pokemon cards and you sell video games. They're two you guys do the same thing, but you don't, you know what I mean? Like you're both kind of in the same market, but you sell two different things, which should actually there should be a ton of crossovers, what I'm saying. So, like if like if I go to a video game store, like if I see somebody, you know, people who play video games normally are into Pokemon too. Normally, so I think there's just a ton of crossovers. So I I I would be a static. Now, if I was trying, the only reason I would be mad is if I was trying to get into video games too, sell video games, and if that were the case, then that would totally hinder my ability to do that. But it seems so it looks to me like he has the fucking card thing down pat. So it it reminds me, it reminds me of line drive with level up, man. I remember going like if I would go to like level up for anything, I will go to line drive too because and I don't play Pokemon, but I'm in the baseball cards and stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

So it it it to be this dude has like baseball cards, sports cards too.

SPEAKER_06:

I have to check too. I have to come to your store and check it out. Number one, number two, check his shit out too, because I've his store's really fucking nice. Yeah, I have to I have to check. I I I have to check it out.

SPEAKER_04:

Like he does, yeah, he has a whole shit ton of sports cards, and I gave him that LeBron James Sprite. I don't know if I told you that, did I?

SPEAKER_05:

No.

SPEAKER_04:

I gave him a like for kind of almost like a piece offer offering. My my aunt gave me a cardboard cutout of 2013 LeBron James Cavs sprite cardboard cutout. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay. I have no use for it in my store. I'm not, I don't need LeBron James in my store. I'm good. I took it and I went over there and I said, Hey dude, here you go. He goes, What do you want for it? I said, Nothing. You can have it. So if you can sell it, sell it. If not, dude, use it as the decoration, dude.

SPEAKER_06:

Are people playing uh the games in your uh in your store?

SPEAKER_04:

Not as much, not a lot. Some sometimes people sit down and play them, but you should get like an arcade game or something. Well, this what this is is like I got a what is that one of them 30,000 and one thing. So it's so that way if they beat the shit out of it, it's I'm out 20 bucks too much.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04:

But it's cool. I had Mario World on today and just had it like running through. So it just it just gives another game aspect. And then I have a TV closer to the door. I'm gonna put, I'm gonna I have an extra Wii in the back. I'm gonna put Wii Sports in there, dude. So people can fucking play it. And then if they throw the fucking controller, it just goes into the wall because the TV's up above. And I'll have the fucking I'll have the sensor bar. Um I I'll have the sensor bar like down lower so that way they're aiming right at the sensor bar rather than above. Because I don't want them aiming up above and then fucking hit my TV.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04:

But but yeah, dude, it's uh everything's going really well. Getting inventory into the system was a pain in the ass.

SPEAKER_06:

It's the that's you get your credit card machine yet?

SPEAKER_04:

No.

SPEAKER_06:

Damn.

SPEAKER_04:

I signed up for it and got everything going Friday. Oh, no joke. After I got past the initial fucking calling them over and over and having them tell me they'll get back a hold of me and never getting back a hold of me. Finally the lady did, and I'm not kidding, within an hour. I went from talking to her about what I wanted to do to seeing the like the terms and conditions and then the fees and shit to signing the paper and sending it in and having her call me back and tell me we're getting it ordered for you and everything else.

SPEAKER_06:

So is this through Square or is this through No, it's through my bank. Oh, with the credit card machine?

SPEAKER_04:

Yep. Oh, yeah, you can do that.

SPEAKER_06:

Like you can have it to where it just takes or just it what you pay for the fees directly out of your account, or how does that or is it per transaction?

SPEAKER_04:

What's up?

SPEAKER_06:

So it's it like per transaction. Well, what's and it depends on what's the overhead on that?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, dude, here I'll I bet it's crazy. It is fucking nuts, man.

SPEAKER_06:

Dude, a lot of things. A lot of the times merchants like they pass that on to the customer a lot nowadays, you see.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I won't do that though.

SPEAKER_06:

Well, you're you're you're uh you're a good person because hell, a lot of like food like a lot of delivery places are doing that now. Like food places, like and I know two off the top of my head, it tiffin that do that. The Mexican restaurant does that, uh Casa Fiesta and AJ's. Oh put it up if you pay with a credit card, they charge you an extra like two and a half percent.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay on your bill. I think it might be in my DJ Send.

SPEAKER_06:

That's crazy. I mean, it's so you just take it cash for right now? Is that all you're just cash only?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, let me see. Oh, um, yep, right there. Okay. Just watch. Okay, so here's the fees that I'm gonna be paying. Okay, so they have different fees for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express. Sure. Alright, so to start out, um every time a Visa card, um a check card is inserted. Like a debit card? Yeah. Okay. Um I get a 25% charge. There's 25 cents and uh about 1% of whatever whatever the whole total is, the rate.

SPEAKER_06:

So so visa, so they take for visa, visa takes what percent? Yeah, of every of every transit, every swipe.

SPEAKER_04:

On on debit. Credit, okay. Credit, they take it's 20 cents per items and 1.71%.

SPEAKER_06:

Well, that adds up quick.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, if I have to hand key, which I don't plan on doing, so it doesn't matter. All the rest of it I'm not even gonna fuck with. Um MasterCard for debit card is 25 cents per item, okay. And then 1.35% of the transaction.

SPEAKER_06:

Um, and then that goes down to four items, that's a dollar plus what percent of the cost. Is that what I'm understanding?

SPEAKER_04:

I think it's per swipe. I don't think it's per item.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

I guess per swipe. So like here, if you swipe, if there's like 15 like or if you if it's like$15, they'll take$25 or 25 cents off right off the rip for one swipe.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, okay. And then the

SPEAKER_04:

And then the rate would be like 1.35%.

SPEAKER_06:

I gotcha. I gotcha.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, and then uh credit card would be 1.85% and 20 cents for the swipe. And then Discover 26 cents or 20 cents, 1.3% or 1.76%. And then rates for American Express. American Express is the worst. They're great with the customers. Like for you, like if you have a American Express card, they're awesome because their rewards are amazing and the rates are really good for customers.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

They're shitty when it comes to for merchants and stuff.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So theirs is 20 cents per swipe and then$2.30 or 2.3% or$3.7%.

SPEAKER_00:

Holy shit.

SPEAKER_04:

Then my equipment and installation fee. Um I have to purchase price, costs can be split into three payments, which I'm going to do. Um$400 for the credit card machine.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Then I have to pay a$20 rental per month. Um$400 equipment credit with two-year agreement. Oh, option three. Equipment and installation fee. So I have two, it's three options. Um option three, four hundred dollar equipment credit with two-year agreement. So I have two choices. I can either pay twenty dollars a month or pay four hundred and just pay by the fucking machine. Yeah. Or I can just keep the damn thing for two years, which I plan on doing anyway. Yeah. And I don't have to pay shit.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

So I'll probably just do that. Okay. Um, miscellaneous fees, monthly service and support fee, so I gotta pay$3. Um location fee,$1.25. Um, and an annual PCI compliance fee, billed in June,$99. So it's just like fees, fees, fees. Breathing fee. Dude, you know what you get?

SPEAKER_06:

Just go old school with that shit. Just get the shh just get the slider thing, man.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, the fucking old school.

SPEAKER_06:

Yeah, just do that.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow, it worked.

SPEAKER_06:

That's what you need to do, man.

SPEAKER_04:

That'd be awesome.

SPEAKER_06:

That'd be hilarious. What? The they wouldn't take your stolen credit card. Let's just see what the police has to say about this. Is my transportation ready? Yes, a limousine and a pizza. A couple of bits of the plaza hotel.

SPEAKER_04:

I love the way he says that. Pizza!

SPEAKER_06:

I know, dude, it's so funny. Uh it's a pizza. Pizza. Uh yeah, everything about that. How he could check into a hotel. Like, I didn't know what the rules were in the early 90s, but like, you gotta be 21 to check into a hotel. Now, I don't know what it was back then, I guess. So I guess anyone could have checked in the hotel at any point. They just let a minor come in and just use a credit card and just check it. Especially a high-end four-star, five-star hotel like the plaza, which is like a way. It's I know. It's stupid as fuck. Credit card, you got it. I wanna I want a hotel room, please. Okay. It's like, are sorry, are are you having a stroke? One of those little refrigerators you gotta open with your key. Like, first of all, I I'm shocked that the plaza had openings at that time of year, because New York it throughout Christmas time is like really busy. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like a super sign. Yeah, it's like a super busy time of year for New York, which I'm shocked the plaza had. Somebody broke this down how much Kevin's uh room would cost. I think it was like six, seven thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_04:

Please tell me it's on YouTube.

SPEAKER_06:

I think oh let me look here.

SPEAKER_04:

Did they break it down? I just video. I just saw that. We watched uh Harry and Marv, How many guests had at one time?

SPEAKER_06:

Uh Kevin stay at the plaza. I can't find the video, but yeah, there's a lot of like articles about it. Kevin McAllister's allegedly single die at the plaza at Holo 2. Which cost$2,109 in 1992, would cost around$8,500 to$8511 today's money. They said like his ice cream alone was worth like$400. That's so crazy. The lap of luxury, I guess. Stone a credit card. That toy store sucks. Duncan Duncan's Toy Store was dumb. Two turtle dogs. Two turtle dogs. Oh there's a prize in the cracker jack dog. Four years what is that? Four dollars for a hot dog? That's a lot more than that now, Chief.

It it it fills a void that I didn't I never thought I never thought existed. You almost have to fucking do that in order for the DJ to stand out at all. Because yeah. Because the music can get so covered. Sure.

SPEAKER_06:

I think putting like doing scratching during like the breakdown stuff, I it's su it's a nice subtle touch. And it really, like I said, it feels a void that I never knew existed in in breakdowns in modern metal and you know, jet death chorus.

SPEAKER_04:

That's why I wanted to bring a trumpet to the like fucking baby.
