Coom & Currie Sports cards
Remember that rush of excitement when you found a special card in a pack as a kid? That nostalgic thrill has evolved into something much more powerful for today's collectors.
What begins as an innocuous purchase—a Tyler Lockett card from Pike Market in Seattle—quickly transforms into a full-fledged obsession that consumes both time and finances. Our hosts share their remarkably similar journeys into the trading card world, despite focusing on different sports: one drawn to NFL cards, the other to football/soccer.
We candidly explore the psychological elements that make card collecting so addictive. From the adrenaline rush of opening packs to the thrill of scoring a rare find online, both hosts acknowledge their struggles with "throttling back" their spending while maintaining their passion for the hobby.

The Podcast Vendors: I thought a 'Relic' was a fossil
The collecting bug is highly contagious! Our second episode welcomes first-ever guest Ben Huggins, who shares memories of his football sticker collection days and contemplates joining the trading card world through golf cards after witnessing fans getting cards signed at The Open.
The power of podcast persuasion becomes evident as we discuss a listener who spent £150 on trading cards after our first episode, despite never having purchased cards before. This leads to conversations about what drives collectors and how easily that dormant collecting impulse can be activated in almost anyone.
BC shares a hilarious story about his partner Emma pranking him by wrapping his own cards and placing them in their mailbox when she noticed his grumpiness from not having a "mail day" - proving that the psychological reward of receiving packages is part of what makes collecting so addictive. Meanwhile, MC details his latest Match Attacks acquisitions including a rare R9 Black Edge card, expressing excitement about completing his collection.
We take time to explain the concept of "breaks" to Ben and any uninitiated listeners - how collectors buy into portions of box openings rather than purchasing entire boxes themselves. This leads to discussions about our favorite cards, storage solutions, and the eternal question: do cards bring joy simply by owning them, or do you need to regularly see and handle your collection?
The episode rounds out with a fun new card collectors quiz segment and musings about how partners react to our collecting habits, including the classic collector's loophole: when asked how much you can spend on cards, never ask how frequently such purchases are permitted!
Are we live?
Speaker 2:We are live.
Speaker 1:We're live. The podcast vendors are back.
Speaker 2:Is that the?
Speaker 1:new nickname.
Speaker 2:If you had a crest or a badge, it would be podcast vendors, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Podcast vendors. Yeah, it doesn't even make sense, but that's what we are now, isn't it? The podcast vendors.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:A special guest with us today as well. Hello, Mr Ben Huggins welcome.
Speaker 3:Welcome. Thank you very much for having me Very much enjoyed the first episode. That's good. Delighted to be on and talk about a few things. Yeah, looking forward to it.
Speaker 1:That's good news. First ever guest. No matter what happens with the podcast now, you will be forever the first, the first guest we had on. How does that make you feel that's an?
Speaker 3:honor. If you wanted to get me a plaque, maybe I could put something up this little plaque, blue plaque. I maybe have a blue plaque on my house saying this first guest ever was recorded in this room, this house. But yeah, no, very excited to be on. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1:Well, welcome. We'll talk a little bit more about why you're on the in-due course, as I say, but firstly I think MC and myself would like to thank everyone for the support because me personally, I was only expecting probably Mark's mum and dad, my mum and dad, probably brothers, sisters couple of downloads, the token I'll give it a listen, but the numbers for you know there's a long way to go, but the numbers have been real, to be fair. Like, so much support my end, mark. We've been real, to be fair. So much support, martin. We've been sharing some messages this week, haven't we? About some of the messages we've had from people. I think we're going to ruin some lives here.
Speaker 3:You're already starting on mine.
Speaker 1:We will bring you down.
Speaker 2:The response has been amazing. Spoken to people that I haven't spoken to in years. They've come out of the woodwork and said they've listened to it and potential future guests to come on the pod and talk about their sort of journey. So, yeah, thanks to everyone for listening. Episode two coming now and then, yeah, the good times are episode three.
Speaker 1:Episode three, funnily enough, straight after tell us this story about uh, you're saying about dom?
Speaker 3:yeah. So, um, one of our mutual friends that we've got, um, I was speaking to him yesterday and he really enjoyed the first podcast and, like me, collected stickers but hasn't really got into trading cards. Um, he had mentioned that after listening to your podcast it made him sort of sort of his collective nature was activated after you'd heard that podcast and then he thought about oh, should I go and get some stickers?
Speaker 1:no, no.
Speaker 3:I'll go and get some trading cards. So he's never bought trading cards in his life before and he said yesterday he went out and spent £150 last week on trading cards and now he struggles to walk past the shops without going in another one dragged down with us another one
Speaker 3:bites the dust. It's strange, isn't it? I'll obviously talk about mine in a bit but, like golf cards, I'm potentially going to get into maybe. Yeah, it's good. I'm just thinking around the room here. I collect loads of stuff. I've got an Only Fools and Horses set of stamps on the wall next to me. I've got some signed vinyls which which I sort of collect some hard rock memorabilia and stuff behind me and I haven't collected anything for a while. So when I listened to that first podcast that you guys had done, it sort of got me thinking again and brought back a few, sort of triggered a few things in a good way, not a bad way about like going online and thinking what could I, what could I collect?
Speaker 1:I feel that Dom possibly a case in point, but he's not the only one I had a message from. Do you remember Wadey from Blacktons?
Speaker 3:and Mill, I do yeah.
Speaker 1:I had a message from Wadey out of I mean I haven't spoke to him for years but he started sending me a couple of pictures of cards he'd bought just out of blue through instagram. But I think there's there's probably a lot of people out there that want to collect that probably think I need a, I need a group of people to to get in with, to almost, because I suppose to some people it's a bit, you know, like my uh dad takes a mick, a little bit, you know, but 12 year old, what are you? 12? No, but yeah, but it's surprising how many people come out the woodwork and I dare say when I go over in november there'll be, you know, with the podcast and I peaked his interest. You go, let's have a little look at that card.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's a 12 year old bring him down as well, bring him down. Oh, I will I will.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I reckon there's a ton of people that just need someone else to get in with yeah, you're probably right. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:And you'll be one of them.
Speaker 1:You'll be one of them, HJ.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I will be one of them, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in a minute when we talk about why we've asked you to come on as well. But I've got a story for you boys and the listeners. Emma has absolutely done me this week, made me look a right tit. So so monday, tuesday, she comes into the lounge and, uh, allegedly I'm in a bad mood, she could tell, and she's she's huge pro, I like you. What's the matter with you? Nothing, nothing. She says I know what's wrong with you. She says you haven't had a male day, have you for a couple of days? And actually it made me laugh. I was trying to maintain the grumpy persona, but it made me laugh and I said no, you are right, actually I've not had a male day and I am in a bad mood and that is why, anyway, didn't think much of it.
Speaker 1:I think it was, I think it was thursday. Right, I'll go out to the mailbox, do I check? I'll probably check the mailbox now three or four times a day. The amount of stuff I've got lined up from ebay, yeah well, go out there. And there's a package out there and I'm thinking we're in, we're in, so I'll pick it out, go back in. I didn't notice at the time, but on the package it's not even a stamp or whatever. They've got a barcode. I'm just I couldn't see the wood for the trees. All I've got is I've got a package. I go in, open up this package and, as I slide it out, none other than two cards from my own personal collection. She's only gone and wrapped them up, put my address on it and put them in the postbox hasn't she?
Speaker 3:That's great. She's absolutely done me. That is good.
Speaker 1:Absolutely done me. But to be fair she was right. I did have a bit of a bag on because I had nothing in the mail and that did cheer me up.
Speaker 2:Is there any doorbell footage of this? That would be great isn't it?
Speaker 1:I don't even have a normal old school doorbell.
Speaker 3:actually, to be fair, may I ask a quick question please from someone that's coming into this as new. When you say, mail day is, that the day that all the cards arrive at the same time. So you've gone on a particular day the week before and bought a load, and then they'd all arrive at the same time or within those two days.
Speaker 1:It's just mail day it could be anything, really anything you've bought. I also buy quite a bit off eBay for a little amount, let's say just in case Emma's listening Small amount, not much, or like, which we'll talk about in a bit, actually, like with live breaks, because, yeah, like they tend to maybe send it out once a week, once a fortnight or something like that. So when you've had like me, again for the benefit of Emma just a couple of breaks, when they've built up, and then they get sent out and they arrive, that is a mail day.
Speaker 1:Okay, but that is an excellent segue, I think they say, into our next spot, which is talk us through your mail days. This week, we'll start with MC. What have you?
Speaker 2:had. Well, I had. So, as previously discussed, I'm trying to complete the Match Attacks collection for last season. I'm obviously running out of bit of time because obviously the new season starts next month, so that will. I will probably start the new collection, but I got three tins off eBay of Giants.
Speaker 1:These are Match Attacks, extra boxes, box office ballers has that got the female players in as well, has it?
Speaker 2:yeah, the box office ballers. Has that got the female players?
Speaker 2:in as well, has it. Yeah, the Match Attacks Extra updates have got the women's one and then the Invincer ballers and, yeah, you can see that's got the Women's Champions League down there. So you've got the women's players in there as well. Really nice, they've all gone into the binder. So I've got the Match Attacks Standard range which comes with a binder if you buy one of the special packs, um, and there's a match tax extra binder which you, which comes out later on in the um in the season, I think, um just to have any new signings. I guess it comes out probably around january time, january transfer windows, um, but that, but that for me was a big, was a big mail day Came to work. Yeah, three boxes, I've got them off eBay. Yeah, footage to come on TikTok of my breaks for that. But the biggest card I got out of it was an original R9 Black Edge. Oh, you know the ones, I mean Black Edge ones.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, with black edge or, um, you know the ones I mean black edge ones. Yeah, that, yeah with it. Yeah, it's all black and then it's got like the gold strip through it yeah, so I think I didn't know they had an r9 one for that yeah, r9 in this madrid kit.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, it's probably the the best card or my favorite card out of them all, but, um, they're all really good. Like the with the teams, what I like getting about the teams is you get um four cards so, whether it be the invincible, as you'll get four cards that are specific to to that team and every person that buys that team will get exactly them four cards. Um, and they're like four different players I think lauren james and lewis diaz was a really good one, but that and then you get four like ball bowler cards Kevin De Bruyne, stuff like that and then giants of the game I think there was like Paolo Maldini and some other ones. But, yeah, I really enjoy getting the tins because that actually feels quite nice opening a tin and then opening the packet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, then you can use the tin as well. Everyone's a winner.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then you can use the tin as well. Everyone's a winner. Yeah, run that space. Actually I've got a little. I've got a Kallax next to my vinyl.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, the.
Speaker 2:Ikea, and it was for vinyls and for books and music memorabilia, and one of them has been overtaken by a car, by tins, by binders, by yeah, so that hasn't gone unnoticed obviously. By the other half. Yes, by the other half, but yeah, so that was a really good mail day. Other than that, I actually picked up Queens of the Game. Let me get it quickly. So these are like an update pack. Oh yeah, Is that like a magazine? No, it's like a bit of card.
Speaker 3:So these are the these are like an update pack. Oh yeah, is that like?
Speaker 2:a magazine no, it's like it's a bit of card. It tells you what are they like, what are the ones they they do, but this is the the last one that I haven't got. So this is Queens of Europe. So this is the women's update one. Yeah, so it's match tax extra and update cards in there. So, looking forward to opening that. That wasn't the mail day. I actually bought that in Sainsbury's and that's, yeah, that's all mine. The mail day was good. Three tins was. I was happy with that. But slowly coming I feel like I'm slowly coming towards the end of this season, so I feel like yeah, definitely You've been getting the similar players in the packs as you open them.
Speaker 1:It's a little bit like that with NFL, to be fair, especially in the breaks that you keep going because you think you're going to pull an absolute banger, but you end up with just tons and tons and tons of base cards.
Speaker 2:Keep getting this guy, adi Yemi, the Dortmund great player.
Speaker 1:but sick of the side play. But that's Matt. Quick question. Yeah.
Speaker 3:If there's a new season in a sport, does that mean new cards?
Speaker 1:Well, that happens every year. Okay, yeah thank you Always. A new season.
Speaker 3:With the football season starting next month, does that mean there'll be a brand new set of cards?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Interestingly, I've literally just come off a break with Kiwi Card Collective, who I mentioned last week. Yeah, A lot of good support from Nick, actually A few good messages about the podcast. He was actually quite keen to listen Originally. When I said the podcast was out, he said he was going to listen to it the day after. Then messages me saying couldn't wait, started listening to it, loved it. I was literally on a break. And what they've done now because the NFL season hasn't started and obviously they did the draft a few months back, but the new product or program is the first one that's like ticked over to the new season. So it's called Score. It's a fan's favourite and it's got all the new rookies in, but they're in their college uniforms because obviously they haven't played yet, so that's a little example of how it would tick over.
Speaker 1:That's a cool example.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to stop you there because Huggins asked. I don't know if Huggins or other people will know what a break is.
Speaker 3:That was my next question.
Speaker 1:Before we come to that, we have rudely not asked Huggins what he's received in his mail day this week.
Speaker 3:So, Ian, can you look?
Speaker 1:forward to that.
Speaker 3:Mobile phone contracts Council tax bill.
Speaker 2:Not quite as exciting as.
Speaker 3:Not as exciting as you, boys Savvy.
Speaker 1:Swiftly moving on. Oh, I like that. That's good. Do you want to talk about the breaks now, or should we let the listeners know why we've asked Huggins to come on? We'll start with. We'll go with Huggins to come on.
Speaker 2:We'll start with we'll go with Huggins first, then we'll go on to the brakes, because then I know we want to touch on that and touch on my potential journey into that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because we were chatting, Huggins, weren't we? Like a lot of people following the initial podcast, and we were talking, me and Martin discussed stickers, because I was saying that when I was younger, that's all I did. I didn't do the cars and Mark obviously did a few cars and we had a conversation, yeah, and you were very much into the stickers and that ignited something in you, and then you've got something to tell us about the Golf as well. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I don't have a lot of experience in terms of actual trading cards, but I do remember something, mark, you mentioned on the first podcast, which was do you remember that the cars had the caricatures on them, without the cartoon massive heads?
Speaker 2:and I remember yeah, that's it, do they still?
Speaker 3:exist they.
Speaker 2:So I think, looking into them, I think they only did it for three seasons or three series of cards.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think it was 96, 95 or 96, and then maybe 95, 96, 97 or 97, 98. And then they stopped making them. Yeah, they were cool cards they were. Yeah, like you said, they were cool, they were yeah.
Speaker 3:That was probably the first experience I had actually collecting cards rather than stickers. The only other experience was probably Pokemon cards, when we were all at school and getting different Pokemons. Were they different?
Speaker 3:Pokemon was it? Yeah, like the shiny ones and things like that, but I sadly don't have them anymore. They'll probably be worth quite a lot of money now, but I don't have those anymore. But yeah, in terms of what I used to collect, I've got upstairs in the loft somewhere probably I think, five complete albums from like 95 to 2000. I used to absolutely love collecting them, swapping them at school. It was like a real buzz in the playground when you used to go along and swap someone. Sean, you know you had one there. That was a team that you needed to complete. Gary Neville still one that haunts me to this day, sadly. Every time I see, every time I see the bloke's face and obviously which is quite a lot given his podcasts and and other ventures but I still need now gary neville's sticker. Um and me and mark were looking at this on the train yesterday. But actually you can buy them on on ebay even from 95.
Speaker 3:now really yeah, I needed I needed gary neville's sticker to complete my sticker album and obviously I suppose now it's. It's a strange thing, is it? Because, like with trading cards and stickers, I'm guessing it's easier to get the ones that you want now than it was back then, because obviously you used to send off, didn't you? To like a shop it was like a pin the panini superstore, wherever that was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, somewhere in the north part of the panini panini superstore and you used to send away for ticket ever like I think you had to get down to 50 from memory and then you had sent off and I had 50 left and I sent off and they did not send me gary neville back. Yeah, but there it was. Envelope looked everywhere for it never to be seen and everyone seemed to have it in their collection at school but never had a swap for it, never had another one, so I never got it. So it still haunts me to this day.
Speaker 2:It's something like you might need to take out. Yeah, I will take up Benin.
Speaker 1:Paul McGraw was what I can get.
Speaker 3:Paul McGraw. Yeah, yeah, that was a tough one.
Speaker 1:From that point of view.
Speaker 3:My insight into it is like with trading cards. It's limited, but I can resonate because of the stickers and how good it was and the buzz of getting them and even in the mid-2000s, I think, whenever the Euros was in Spain or whenever Spain won it, I collected that. So I went back to the stickers again and collected them all and worked out that it's quite a lot of money.
Speaker 3:It's quite a lot of money to you know, and you work it all out. By the time you've got everything, but I still love doing it and hearing you boys about these, these um cards. I've got next to me, like you were saying, mark, I've got a folder with all of my concert tickets in it and I am fairly confident that is suddenly going to get filled up with different cards, because it's absolutely perfect.
Speaker 1:I think that's what it was made for originally little, little sleeves to put in and protect them we, uh, we had a conversation Huggins about there's a while back, when you were talking about the cards. I was saying that me and Marta got into it. We were talking about you potentially collecting golf, because you've always been a golfer Not a very good one Sorry, that's putting it kindly, but you started getting right back into golf. You said, yeah, I did A little observation you made at a recent golf event that you went to.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so, yeah, I've fallen out of love with football ever so slightly and I've got more back into golf. So watching golf, watching series on golf and luckily, last year I went to Royal Troon and managed to watch the open, which was amazing. Um, when I was at the open and this was probably about the time you were both getting into the cards, I think, um, justin Rose was on the 18th hole big grandstand. He putted a really long putt and it was like it's all gone up, it's erupted, because it kept him in contention for the last day.
Speaker 3:And, um, I was in the stand as he came into the pavilion at troon and there's loads of kids holding things down. And as I walked out the grandstand and walked past the kids, justin rose was there signing all things for the kids, which was great to see. But the things that they were handing down to him were trading cards. And that's when I started saying to you, I didn, you, I didn't even think they do golf trading cards. I don't know why. I thought it would be a sport that wouldn't do them. Yeah, and when you said to me, coom about, like you can get a Bryson Shiny and stuff like that, I thought, oh, hang on a minute I could get into these cards.
Speaker 2:Yeah you will.
Speaker 1:But you exercised your strength, didn't you? And at the time you could see what I was trying to do but you know once that door's open, you're in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 3:I know that's, yeah, that's. I see in the local Morrisons that Martin have run by us has got quite an extensive selection of cards and stickers. Hasn't it on the way out even before, even before you did this podcast? Before you're into cards, I still scan that section just as like an automatic thing from from you know when I was younger. From my youth I always just like my eyes just sort of drift over to that section. The different colours, the different packets, the different, you know.
Speaker 2:So yeah, going into that Morrison's, that was where probably that's where my match attacks addiction started.
Speaker 3:Was it yeah?
Speaker 2:there's a lot there. I had a big range and, as you probably know, now, if you go in there, there isn't an awful lot left. No, there's not. I cleaned them out, cleaned them out, cleaned them out, cleaned them out. I kept getting tin after tin every day, popping in to get something for lunch.
Speaker 3:Do you know, Mark? I went in there about a week ago and I've noticed they've actually moved them now as well. Yeah, and I thought, yeah, he's been in here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because they've been watching him on security cam, haven't they? And gone, let's get him somewhere else.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, but I I really did clean them up. They had such a good range and obviously I was quite late to get in this season's Match Attacks collection, but they had near enough a lot of what I saw online. So I treat myself like every other day wash it up liquid. Do you need some milk on the way home? You do need some milk. I'll pick it up. Don't worry, you need some milk on the way home? You do need some milk? Yeah, I'll pick out.
Speaker 1:Don't worry, it's been three hours what, what, what does hannah think of all this mark from from your end?
Speaker 2:she? Um, funny enough, I thought I didn't don't know if I sent you the picture, but she, um, we had dinner outside the other night, um, because it was really nice weather. Um, and I was tidying up and she put on the YouTube episode and was watching it.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, oh really, oh, you did send me that, didn't you? Yeah, you did.
Speaker 2:Came out. She was watching it and she was listening to it. So I carried on tidying up and I came back out and I was, like you, enjoying the episode, and she went $85 for one card and I went. I went don't take that as gospel, that's not. That's not. That's not $85. I thought you'd done me dirty. Exactly, I thought that was it. Game over. I thought the tins were getting chucked out. The binders gone.
Speaker 1:That's one thing we've got to be mindful of on here, isn't it Like some prices will be false yeah?
Speaker 3:You boys have got to be careful, because you'll end up with those tints that'll end up in the garage with screws in them and stuff like that yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, I am thinking of moving. I've said to Coom I might set up like a break section in the garage. Obviously I can't do it in there because that'd be overtaking the home, but I might set up in the garage. I'm going to put like a Subuteo cloth down, put like some tins around it, like a little break area, and it'll be away from wandering eyes and bins.
Speaker 3:That's it when you need to park the car in the garage.
Speaker 2:She was enjoying it. She didn't watch all of it, but she just wanted to watch a bit of it. What did she say to me? I said how much would you be happy with me spending on a card? Have a guess, how much do you think? She said A pound, that was a bit high Ten alright, that's better players.
Speaker 1:20 quid, she said, and I was like okay, well, how often though didn't ask.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you no lies, you've got a loophole.
Speaker 3:That's all you need for now.
Speaker 2:I've got the ammunition straight to the phone.
Speaker 1:That I think for the second time today is a good segue into breaks. I think for the second time today is a good segue into break. I think resonate was the word last week.
Speaker 2:I think segue is the word this week, learning the podcast lingo. Did you say you've just come off a break?
Speaker 1:I've literally come off a break here with KCC for the score which you spoke about before, which is just come off a break. I've literally come off a break, yeah, with KCC For the score which we spoke about before, which is the new. I think the official term for this probably won't mean a lot to Huggins, but at the minute in NFL, Panini have the licence, so Tops slash, Monatic still do cards but they don't have the badge on and stuff like that. They're getting the Deal next year, I think. But Panini then have Like these different I think they're called programs, I think they are, but I'll just say Product for now so you have like Panini Score, panini Prism, panini Mosaic.
Speaker 1:They're just like a different range of cards. So these are Score. They are probably the cheapest ones, um, but I believe, uh, they're a fan's favorite because they're just cheap, they're fun, um, and obviously it's the first product or program for when it's it's clicked over. So you've got like the new. The seahawks rookies in 2024 were not the best, um, that's putting it politely. Um, but there's some decent ones this year. So I've I've been in the break, uh, looking for the uh, the milrow card got a couple of base cards which have been quite good, um, yeah when you say, um, uh, the range of cars that don't have the logos on it just reminds me of Pro Evo, you know when you didn't have the correct names Manchester Red and Kevin.
Speaker 3:Manchester Red that you could play at the Tradbrick Stadium, was it?
Speaker 1:Millbrook as well. It was like Bolton or something. Yeah, it was leading because you'd it was like Bolton or something wasn't it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1:Leedon, because you'd think that was Middlesbrough. But yeah, Bolton Lost my train of thought now. Thanks for that.
Speaker 2:You're talking about breaks college? Yes, breaks.
Speaker 1:Yes, but for Huggins' benefit yeah, breaks, basically you pay if it's like an NFL.
Speaker 1:They'll say like how many boxes they're breaking. Might be different programs or whatever, and then usually they're like pick your own team. So each team will be priced based on like what you're likely to pull out, and I guess a lot of it's driven by the rookies like who the hot rookies are. I guess a lot of it's driven by the rookies like who the hot rookies are. Seahawks this year have been quite cheap, but you then buy a team or multiple teams, or for Emma's benefit, just one team.
Speaker 1:Cheapest team, always the cheapest team, and then once they've filled it they'll go live so you can see them basically open the boxes and then say I bought Seahawks. Any Seahawks card that comes out is your card. Okay, but that, yes, I mean because the hobby boxes. So I mean, I don't know how long we got here because this could get complicated, but your retail stuff is usually cheaper but you can still get absolute bangers, but you're less likely to, whereas your hobby stuff there's less space and you're looking at inserts and numbered autos, that type of thing. But some of the boxes the cost is off the scale. Yeah, hundreds, yeah. One of my favourites over here is Panini Obsidian. The cost is like off the scale, yeah, yeah, hundreds, yeah, yeah, like one of my favorites over here is a Panini Obsidian. Um, but I think, if I remember correctly, it's five cards in a box and it's $400. It's just 200 quid. Um for the English listeners not not got the uh conversion for our American friends.
Speaker 3:Um, or your rose version for our american friends um or euros, um, you can also start doing them.
Speaker 1:Once your listeners, I'll get a live link to travel x up on air. But yeah, like you, 200 pounds, I think it's five cards. I mean, you do the maths, um, but you know that's what you're talking and that's that's probably not the most expensive, but, um, but yeah, so, like, when you're going to breaks, that's your best opportunity, I think. Or you cheat, or a way of like, not spend, you know, not having to buy the whole box and not getting something you want. But obviously the trade-off is that, particularly in your boxes that have got five cards, well, there there's 32 teams in the NFL. So, again, do the maths. You know, even if each card was a separate team, that's a lot of teams missing out. So you could pay, like, in theory, you could, you know, buy one of the big teams and not get nothing.
Speaker 3:But when you're saying that, dare, I ask if you bought one of the big teams and not get nothing. But when you're saying that, dare, I ask if you bought one of these packs?
Speaker 1:Oh many a time you might want to tell me after the podcast.
Speaker 1:but yeah, well, a funny story. Actually, in the early days, let's say when I had it under control, the addiction there was a break for, for obsidian actually, and emma every now and again would say, for whatever reason, I think she liked the neck and she's like I have chicago bears and um, so I'd patty, like she'd make her transfer me the money, like there was no freebies, um, yeah, not playing that game. But yeah, we go on to this Obsidian break. I had, like I don't see she had Bears, and in a five-card break she pulls out two Bears, caleb Williams, like atomic initials, and it's still to this day probably one of my favourite cards and I don't even own it and something else I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1:Believe it like, what are the odds of that? Um, but yeah, she, um, she's had a bit of luck on I think she's over the the. Since january she's probably done like three or four breaks and she's she's actually pulled some nice cards. But I think now where I've gone a bit hardcore, I think she doesn't get too involved. Calm down, calm down, probably for the best.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's generally without boring people. That's generally how the breaks work. But I'm keen because, mc, you've not done a break yet, have you? You were saying on the last one that you, have you eyed any breakers up in the UK. Are you were saying on the last one that you, I mean, have you have you eyed any breakers up in the uk? Are you gonna? Are you gonna pull the? Um, pull the pin, is it? Or yeah, whatever the second is you're figuring out you're gonna go for it.
Speaker 2:So yeah, unnamed territory for me. I obviously know what they are and I've seen, seen them, you know, live. There's quite a lot of um on tiktok. There's a lot of break um page yes, you'd say so. They message all of their followers and they say there's a break going live in an hour and then when it gets that hour they send the actual like link to the live break. So I've been having quite a lot of them. They've been happening, happening more, more and more frequently recently. So, yeah, I reckon I will take the plunge at some point. I'll have to find.
Speaker 1:That's what I was looking for.
Speaker 2:I'll have to find sort of. I guess you get you like you probably get comfortable doing it with the same same people, or is that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, no people, or is that? Yeah, yeah, no, no, I just used two. But, like I said to you last week, if I I did actually just on a one-off do one with someone else, but I just thought, oh, it's dangerous, and that that would be the tip I'd give you. Or if I, if we can bring huggins down, um, that's the tip I give huggins as well is, just use one or two because, uh it, yeah, it's so addictive.
Speaker 2:yeah, I'm looking forward to it, like you said, like we spoke on the first episode the adrenaline rush of firstly opening a pack and seeing what you get, but then for someone else to do it, knowing that you paid to get that team or whatever is a whole different ball game. For me it's the build-up as well, though.
Speaker 1:Yes, the anticipation of it, yeah, exactly yeah. And the mind build up as well, though. Yes, anticipation, yeah, exactly yeah. And a mind wanders as well. You convince yourself that you're going to get an absolute welding yeah, and that's a lottery, isn't it, I guess yeah on that note, thanks for 300 followers now on TikTok.
Speaker 2:So nice, that was um great, that was good, um. So yeah, I reckon the break will come soon and hopefully I'll obviously go for Liverpool, but we'll see.
Speaker 1:We'll see what happens usually popular, though I find all the football banter over the years. I mean we've had it as well between us. But Liverpool are the most popular team, end of you know. Even over here, as soon as a Liverpool card goes up on the group bang it's gone. Everyone else, city, united, they all linger about it's. There's no two ways about it. I think with Liverpool you'll have to be quick is all. I'll say thanks for your advice top advice.
Speaker 2:That isn't it. It is. I'll keep you posted and hopefully, on the next episode, potentially, I'll have some news for you.
Speaker 1:Oh, nice Question for you, then. I'm actually going to start with you, hj, because I know all this said that you One thing that we were going to discuss today is I put it down as what's your biggest card in your pc, but that's quite a very subjective question, isn't it like? Because there's a lot of factors. So my question is actually going to be what is your favorite card you own? And I know for a fact, hj, that you, you do own a card to talk us through it I do um, and it it's thanks to you as well for sending over to me.
Speaker 3:I only own one card, so that would be my favourite card in this particular instance. If you ask me in a few podcasts Tom it might be a different answer. You very kindly sent me, to try and entice me into the game, a Danny Welbeck signed card. I did, which is a shiny as well. It is a shiny yeah, it's lovely.
Speaker 3:It's lovely, I have to say. It's got the mind wandering now. Obviously, I'm a Brighton fan, so it's very nice of you to send it over when you spotted it, and I look to get some more. I've had my eye on some others. Don't worry about that. Once I've got the misunderstanding with eBay sorted out, then I'll be back on that. And it was a misunderstanding, it's still banned though.
Speaker 2:It's been banned for about eight years now.
Speaker 3:yeah, I remember this but I can't remember what it was I honestly can't remember, but it was a dispute about. It was a dispute about what I'd sent. I don't know. Something got lost. I honestly can't remember.
Speaker 1:Whatever it was was not deliberate sadly, sadly the authorities didn't vote my way and I was banned you can only apologise to your victim, can't you?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can only apologise to whoever he or she is, and this is the starting bit for me of recovery is apologising. So if eBay aren't listening, I would love my account back and we can move forward.
Speaker 1:As our mate in Manchester said let bygones be bygones.
Speaker 3:Exactly yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's nice, MC. Go on and talk us through it, your favourite card.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a couple spring to mind the Kevin Keegan Auto I bought off eBay.
Speaker 2:Recently posted on Insta. Yeah, posted that on Insta. That's probably up there because it's just a cool card. It's like retro, obviously signed. That's what I was looking for when I first started that signed or relic card. That's what I was looking for when I first started that signed or relic card. So that or my Van Dyke relic that we posted as well, I think to 99. So when we say relic Huggins, it's a bit of a match-worn shirt that's integrated into the card.
Speaker 3:Okay, I remember talking to you both about this when I first heard the word relic. I remember talking to you both about this. When I first heard the word relic you'll probably laugh at this I assumed you meant as in a fossil, as in a really old player. That's what I thought you meant. I mean Kevin Keegan could have said Kevin Keegan is an absolute relic. But Absolute relic. But yeah, that's good to know. I remember I was talking to you about that because I didn't know anything about that. Like for speaking to you both about the, you know the bits of boot like you were talking about the last one, about Vardy's boot, and the bits of you know like Trent's shirt woven in. I think you've got that as well. So, yeah, it's interesting to know about all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, also known as like mem cards for and you get with. I haven't actually got one here to show you, but with the rookies in the NFL, I've been learning the lingo for the last six months. But what you're looking for is an RPA, a rookie patch auto. That's the creme the month.
Speaker 1:That's what you want a nice patch and then I tell you what's funny is you're then, looking at the yeah, you get your basic rpas which will be like a sticker auto, where it's on a sticker and stuck onto the card. You want it to be a rookie. And then you might get like a single patch where it's just like, let's say, it's purple, it might just be a little bit of purple fabric. The trick is that you have an on-card auto, so the auto's on the card, it's a rookie. And then the patch is like I don't know, the NFL shield, it might be a night tick or like three layers, four layers of patch. Then you're looking at colour matches, like if the border or part of the card's the same colour as the shirt. You're looking at shirt number matches. It's so murky, it's complicated, it's a minefield.
Speaker 3:Do you get quick question? I had sorry to interject. You know, when you're saying about different layers, do you have almost 3D cards? Remember old trading cards used to have like the player used to come away from the card, if that made sense. Yeah, hollow, you have to spin along it, because it does that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've got a Michael Jordan hollow actually, which is the only NBA card I've got, because I don't really like NBA. Probably delete that out of the podcast. If I said that really you say that I alienate our basketball friends.
Speaker 2:I love it, absolutely love it. That was just an error. Well, to our to our American friends, I actually have a NBA binder of cards from like the late 90s, so that was another collection I've got. Might touch on that at a later point, but yeah, but there's a really good Georgian card that I saw on a documentary and it is, you know, on a on a sorry basketball jersey they have like the NBA play up, yeah, the logo man so three, three of them from, yeah, each of his winning seasons, when they won the division or the league, yeah, all on one card.
Speaker 2:One and one, yeah, and it went for like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that was sold with Golden Auctions, wasn't it? That's right. Yeah, have you seen that documentary on?
Speaker 2:Netflix. Yeah, that's what I saw on, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's unbelievable, king Golden yeah.
Speaker 1:Get him on the pod, get him on the podcast. Well, you never know, you never know he might be chomping at the bit. To come on to a few more episodes, get a phone call from his people oh, yes, well we'll see. We'll see. We've got Huggins on this week, so left away.
Speaker 3:Yeah set the bar high.
Speaker 1:A few more celebrities in yeah, my, funny enough, my, my favourite card is one that Emma coincidentally decided to package and send to me, as told at the start, but it's this Jackson Smith, jigba, rookie Kings, very nice, yeah. Yeah, it's a lovely card. It's what they call a case hit. Yeah, it's a lovely card. It's um, what they call a case hit. So like when it was pulled it was um, not the most, not the most expensive card. I think that was um once I paid for that really maybe fifty dollars, something like that.
Speaker 1:That makes a hundred. Yeah, yeah, I won't. I won't tell you whether that was a was.
Speaker 2:NZ dollars or US dollars yeah, what currency are we talking?
Speaker 1:exactly. Yeah, irrelevant, but yeah, no, I like that card. It's a good one. Yeah, I think I said this on the last one, but when I buy from eBay, I usually get them graded already because you are paying for that delivery as well. So I think I said this on the last one, but when I buy from eBay, I usually get them graded already because you are paying for that delivery as well. So I think if they're graded, you're saving your money sending off again.
Speaker 1:So yeah that's definitely the highlight but interesting question. This is probably more for you, mc, than Huggins, considering you've got one card, but I've got a funny question. I don't know if I put this on what we had planned for the podcast today, but when I went to the Wellington Card Show, I was speaking to a guy who collects I think he was a Pokemon collector and we were having this interesting conversation about how you store or display or whatever your cards. And we were talking about um, because for me I have it in like uh, it looks like a box that you might have the big red button in or something or the codes you know. But I put all my cards in there and I was saying to him it's weird because, like you know, like the card I just showed you a lot, I love the card so much, but then a lot of the time they're just sat in a box under the bed. So I said to him, like you know, what does he do? And I was quite interested and I think I will.
Speaker 1:I'm going to ask this to everyone who comes on the podcast is what they actually do? Because is it the knowing that you've got the cards somewhere do? Because is it the knowing that you've got the cards somewhere. That is that enough, or or what? Because I've? No, I know people that put them on display and they constantly want to look at them.
Speaker 1:For me, I like to, uh, like to have a nice shower, put a bit of music on, pour myself a glass of red we're still talking about the cards here and then I, and then I spend a little alone time with the cards, I get the box out, but but like, yeah, I'm like genuinely I'm really curious as to because it's weird, because it's something that actually makes me laugh, because for me I think it's a bit of both. Like you, there's certain cards I want in my collection and I think there's a part where I know that they're my collection that makes me happy.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, but and but I do like to get them out regularly the cards days and I'll have a look at them and and whatnot, whatever else I do with them. You know that's between me and the cards.
Speaker 2:You've mentioned binders a few times. Yeah, binders are probably my go-to and obviously, because I'm obviously collecting match attacks, but then all the Liverpool ones I've collected separately are all in penny sleeves, top loaders, it's. Then where do I store them? Because at the moment they're just in tins, All these tins, tins everywhere. But yeah, I am looking to buy something like where you've got something that actually stores it like some sort of not a folder, but like a I don't know what would you call it, Like a briefcase, almost A bomb-proof box.
Speaker 1:I think Better add.
Speaker 3:I imagine it's quite nice to sit down. I'm just trying to resonate with like when I had stickers when I jungle, but sometimes just like to sit down and go through and look at what you got, I guess, rather than just have them collected in a tin or a box yeah, 100.
Speaker 1:I can't wait for, uh, when I come back in november to england to go. I've got a box. I think it's at my. My dad's got a garage at a different house. I can't remember if it's there or whether it's at their house, but I've got a box of old. I mean this is a different conversation, but old programmes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've got a lot of programmes in the loft here, yeah but my sticker books are in there, so I'm hoping that they're in one piece, so I'm looking forward to that. That will. I see it on some of these places. The box I've got in the loft here is exactly as you've described. It's got old programmes in it and sticker albums.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah it's. You know, I don't know if you've seen it, but there's like pages on social media like nostalgia pages and those.
Speaker 3:But there's like pages on social media like nostalgia pages and that, that those premier league sticker books come up quite a bit and honestly I do follow one of those on X.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've seen that they're good, but when you see like the pages and the front cover, like some chemicals get released because the nostalgia is real, isn't it Like when you look at it, like straight away? You're back to when your mum and dad got you stickers and stuff like that and how important it was to you. Yeah, they're all back. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing those. So you're at the minute then. Mark, you're more of a binder man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, currently speaking, yeah, I'm sort of more. The majority of what I buy is going straight into either of the binders that I've got. But, yeah, looking to invest in something a bit more, not for the match tax, but for my personal collection, something a bit more presentable, should we say. Or you know, sturdy, definitely yeah, plan purchases this week.
Speaker 1:Plan purchases this week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to be honest, I feel like I'm in a bit of a. I feel like I'm coming towards the end of buying as many of these tins Literally there's no more I don't think that I can get. I was looking up. There's a website where you can swap cards like basic to complete your collection. So that's what I'll probably look to do.
Speaker 1:What about that Maestro card, the Jude Bellingham? Is it Maestro? Isn't that like the pinnacle of match attacks?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's that, and the Messy Goat one as well. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I'll be looking to complete, complete, like the base set, and then maybe look at like, yeah, ebay, to finish off messy goat sounds like some sort of weird animal card there is a picture.
Speaker 1:There is actually a goat, I think I've seen that. Yeah, like horns, isn't it like on the top bit?
Speaker 2:yeah, okay yeah, so purchase-wise, yeah, I'll be looking to do that and then maybe deep dive into eBay a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see what's what.
Speaker 2:I want to try and get some players from this winning season that's just happened for Liverpool. Maybe even see how many rest in peace, diogo Jota cards are floating about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that was a shock, wasn't it? Like, no matter who you support, obviously we're Liverpool fans, but yeah, that's a weird one. That wasn't it this week. Yeah, big shock.
Speaker 3:I couldn't believe it. When it came off my phone I had to reread it about 10 times. Yeah, I can't think of a player of that age in his prime in football that's had no illness and has just suddenly died. It really doesn't happen very often, does it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely a weird one. It'll be interesting as more comes out about it, because obviously I was saying about the tie and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But that's just. I thought one of my mates over here messaged me. You know, sometimes online when you get like clickbait and stuff like that and you see some horrible headlines and you just think like people are trying to, yeah, and then you messaged me and I thought that as well and I was like that can't be right. No, no, um, but we've, I think you, I think all three of us have seen him play, haven't we? Because you've, you've seen him at the Amex a lot.
Speaker 3:I've seen him absolutely destroy Brighton. Sadly for Wolves, he scored two. I wonder if he scored a hat-trick for Wolves at the Amex a few years ago. But yeah, he's a great player. Yeah, he'd never go If he played in five games in a row. He'd never go five games without scoring. He'd always chip in with something, and he's a great finisher as well.
Speaker 1:What I've found this year with Liverpool and in previous years is that a lot of teams will go with a low block because they know how dominant Liverpool are and then at times it frustrates Liverpool and I remember, if he wasn't on the pitch, when you've got someone playing like pretty much every player back, I always want Jota to come on because I don't think there was anyone better than him.
Speaker 1:You know, sort of playing against defences who are playing a low block in those tight spaces and stuff like that. Yeah, just gives you something a bit different as well.
Speaker 3:Was his last game at the Amex Jota? I'm guessing it might have been.
Speaker 1:No, no, because the last game was at home, wasn't it?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's because his last away game would have been I'm trying to think if he played, and I think I can't remember if he played or not. I can't remember if he was injured.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely a weird one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, terrible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, terrible, um, yeah, let's go from there um what's next on the agenda chief? What's next on the agenda? That's it um planned purchases for me. I, yeah, I've got a couple, I've got, yeah, one or two laughing. Why are you holding up a sign saying 12?
Speaker 3:I've got a couple. Yeah, one or two. Why are you?
Speaker 1:holding up a sign saying 12? I've just bought a I thought I mentioned this in the last one a Gino Smith Dreamweaver card which is numbered to four, and then I'm also busy. I think it finishes tomorrow. It's a seven-day auction on the same card, but for one of the rookies, aj Barner. So they're my only planned purchases this week, we believe you. I think my personal budget's down to about $1.32, so a bit restricted this month, but yeah, looking forward to those turning up, um very nice yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:So I think the the question we'll get you on in the future is what happens now? Are you gonna be? Are you gonna be drawn in? Are you gonna do a dom, who I'm very keen, off the back of the story, to get on this podcast? You should get him on yeah, be a good guest.
Speaker 3:It very much depends on whether I resolve the misunderstanding with eBay, is my answer to that Leave that with me. I think that makes it easier, doesn't it?
Speaker 1:I'm assuming you know being able to buy things, especially in the UK. It's tricky over here.
Speaker 3:It's a bit like I'm trying to when me and Martin were talking yesterday about it. It's a bit like vintage over here the clothing. You end up and again going back to collecting things like football tops, for example, and things like that. I'll just go on there and I'll end up buying five football tops. I never wear them, just keep them in the cupboard, Just nice to look for every now and then.
Speaker 3:Just keep them in the cupboard, just nice to look for every now and then and I might wear it occasionally, but I don't really wear them that much, but it's definitely something I'd. It's golf that intrigues me more, having I was lucky enough to go to Wimbledon on Thursday this week and tennis would be a good one, I think as well, but I would be less keen on that. It's golf. That's really got me.
Speaker 1:That's got me thinking Some nice colour blast cards with golf that look really really good because obviously you've got the club in it as well. Yeah, I think they make some good images. But yeah, that'll be interesting to see if you can.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll keep you posted, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, boys. This leads me to a couple of new features we were discussing, I think, as we move along, a little bit like yourself, I think, I guess we want to bring on people where we, where they got a different hobby. So, yeah, this is a card show, um, but we want to respect other hobbies uh, interested to see what people collect, and stuff like that. Where it's, you know, it's linked to what we do, so that's something we've been talking about, um, and something else I'm gonna I'm gonna mention this on the, on the podcast, rather than the uh, the planning room, or whatever you want to call it. But whilst thinking and unfortunately this is probably going to come a show too late for you, hj, but what I'm thinking is, when we bring on a guest, we buy a between us, mark, we buy like a blaster box of cards or something, and then we split. We do a break on the podcast where we split it with the guest. Wow, yeah.
Speaker 3:That'd be a good idea.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shame, you was on this week innit Dom's at home rubbing his hands together, isn't he?
Speaker 3:Oh, brilliant yeah, cheers boys. Yeah, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll just watch the rest of the guests get amazing cards going forward, don't worry about me A couple of colour blasts. Oh yeah, there will be, yeah. That will entice people to watch the YouTube as well to actually physically see the cards as well, won't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but for tonight's podcast, and possibly alternately between me and you, mark, I've got a little quiz for you, a little five-question quiz. I'd love that. It's a mixture of a couple of things we've talked about tonight which I had to squeeze in see if you've been listening, and just a couple of random questions. Just five questions. I don't want to bore people but let's get straight into it. Question number one According to Jay from the Inbetweeners, the topic of all this what does golf stand for?
Speaker 3:I can remember this, as he's destroying the flowerbeds with that golf club.
Speaker 1:No, I don't know, is it there? It could be, it could be.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not going to get it, but is the G great?
Speaker 3:No, O is old, isn't? It Is O old, no no Outdoor.
Speaker 1:The O is outdoor.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I can't say my mind is wandering, but yeah go on gay outdoor lifestyle with fellas. So we're, we're level going. It's question two.
Speaker 3:Question number two that question aimed at me because I was interested in getting golf carts.
Speaker 1:Exactly Topical. I've tried to make you feel welcome.
Speaker 3:Thank you, it's done, just that, thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, number two. Which Panini program or product features the signed insert penmanship?
Speaker 2:As in which.
Speaker 1:Silence for the people out there. We've not gone off there. Which two blank phrases.
Speaker 2:Penmanship, it's NFL.
Speaker 1:Penmanship it's yeah, signed insert. It's not even necessarily NFL. I mean, I'm surprised Huggins doesn't know this, considering that he's won an only card.
Speaker 3:so it's penmanship on top of it, does it Clueless when you ask that question. It's like a question on University Challenge the question. I don't know if the answer's a number, a name. I've got no idea.
Speaker 1:No, it's a name, it's a word. Okay, I think it's a club, the name of a club in Brighton as well. Maybe Could be wrong. Two blank faces.
Speaker 2:Prism, prism.
Speaker 1:Prism. There it is One nil Prism. Is that a club?
Speaker 3:A club in Brighton. I've heard of it. Front it's yeah. Is it closed?
Speaker 1:I can't remember no, let's move on. Um, I don't know if I even I think I could have caught this one right up, but uh, how much have I paid for my dream weaver gino smith card? I mentioned, probably five minutes ago, fifty dollars, correct? Sorry? How much do I claim to pay for it? Minutes ago, $50.
Speaker 2:Correct. Sorry, I was going to say this. How much do I claim to pay for it? $5. What?
Speaker 1:currency yeah. Of the three questions 2-1, 2-1. Question number four We've mentioned this tonight. Name the Panini programme that released its first 2025 line-up rookies this week. Mention this about three times. Name of the product.
Speaker 2:Score.
Speaker 1:Correct. That gives you the win, I think, mc. So I think we'll leave the last question. I think that's giving you the win 3-1, with one question to go. So well played, thanks very much. And your head, hj, doesn't even know the name of his own card no, I've got.
Speaker 3:I've got a lot to learn you've got a lot to learn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good effort, though are we going to do a quiz?
Speaker 2:every week. I could do a quiz. Every week I could.
Speaker 1:I could do a quiz for next, next episode. I think that's. I think that's best, yeah yeah, I like that just uh, just a bit of a laugh.
Speaker 3:Um, definitely should have changed that question, though not how much did I pay, how much I claim to pay um, I think, going forward, all of the uh, all of the questions will be how much did we claim to?
Speaker 1:rather than how much did we actually pay?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll message you separately and I'll ask you how much you actually paid for it.
Speaker 1:On show three, martin said he paid $28. How much did he really pay? Definitely that's good fun. Uh, looking at the list for the show, we um are left with one thing which is just a little update on the playlist. Um, both updated. Um, I don't get any stats actually on Apple, like how many people I tried to have a look today, how many people downloaded it to see if it's something that people are interested. But yeah, like we were saying last week, we made the new playlist based off the last 12 posts on Instagram, which is good.
Speaker 2:What sort? Who have we got in the playlist at the moment? Coom.
Speaker 1:Put me on the spot there, haven't you A little bit? Good what sort of who have we got? Who have we got in the?
Speaker 3:playlist at the moment, coom.
Speaker 1:Oh, you've put me on the spot there, haven't you A little bit? Hold on a minute. I've strictly told you do not ask me what's on the playlist. Well there's 12 songs. Now we've got do you want a track by track blow.
Speaker 2:Just a general gist of who's on it.
Speaker 1:We've got a funky man, james Brown Love that We've got white. I'll tell you, this is an interesting one. Actually. White Horse by Chris Stapleton this is the one I spoke to you about, because the first line of it which I don't think I can play for legal reasons, for the first line, I quite like the opening line, for we need a little bit of a tune, don't we? At the front of the, the podcast that you'll endeavor to introduce at some stage.
Speaker 1:But the first line was uh, um, this love is getting kind of dangerous. It feels just like a loaded gun and I thought that is this hobby, isn't it? Yeah, exactly yeah. So that's one of the reasons I put that on one of the posts and the playlist We've got the Boys of Summer, don Henley, the Foo Fighters, u2, pearl Jam, the Beatles. I think that was on the. That might have been on your Kevin Keegan post, actually, I might have used that on there, did you see? Oasis paid a tribute to Jotter, didn't they?
Speaker 2:I did. I saw Ozzy Osbourne did as well last night, didn't we?
Speaker 1:Oh did I saw Ozzy Osbourne did as well last night, didn't they? Oh nice, Good it's been some good ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, nice touch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was pretty cool. Good to see Nice, yeah, I think. Then that is as much as I've. I've had a really good time with this podcast tonight and I want to carry on, but we're on. We've probably outstayed our welcome now. We initially planned, didn't we, to do one a fortnight, but talks are ongoing onto the frequency, so we'll see what the feedback is yeah, I mean weeklies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, weekly at the moment is yeah, I mean weeklies. Yeah, weekly at the moment seems to be quite a good. Would be a good frequency of episodes, isn't it Once a week as?
