SPEAKER_03

What's the word?

SPEAKER_01

I can't tell you.

SPEAKER_03

Good. Making sure she's on her toes.

SPEAKER_06

Welcome to the Drunken Cacti Podcast where the arguments are dumb, logic is slurred, and we are bound to make somebody upset to breathe the same air as us. I'm your host, Riley Purser, joined here today with Julian. Lola?

SPEAKER_04

Julian.

SPEAKER_01

Hi everyone.

SPEAKER_03

Sorry. I had to do it once. We have a fun new game today. We're calling it the Forbidden Word, and today is going to be our Pokemon Rip Edition. And basically how it's going to work is pack battles. Once we say a specific word, we do not know.

SPEAKER_06

Lola has come up with the word and has kept it from us. So you'll be guessing just as much as we are. When we say it, she's going to wait a little bit, a couple seconds.

SPEAKER_03

So we won't be able to guess what the word is. Let us know. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know. Never know. Could be before. Yeah. She might read our minds, know what we're about to say, and ring it before we say it. That is possible.

SPEAKER_06

But when she does, she's going to go ahead and ring her little bell. Give us a little shot of that. Okay. And when you hear that, that's when we know it's time to rip a pack. Next week might be different. Whoever for this specific week on our Pokemon edition, whoever's poll is worth worth the least amount of money. We're going to have a jungle shot going on.

SPEAKER_03

I already got some vodka in it. Julene, go ahead and add yours. I'm going to add some rum. There you go. Not enough rum, though. Okay, it might have been. This shot is gonna suck. Yeah, it is. So that's gonna be our jungle shot right there. So whoever loses, Lola's got one to add.

SPEAKER_01

Come on, do I want to add something?

SPEAKER_06

Apple pie moonshine.

SPEAKER_01

I wanted to give it some flavor.

SPEAKER_03

That thing already looks like it's gonna mess us up. Yeah. Okay. Alright. I'm gonna start guessing words because I want to open a pack. Pokemon. Well, you gotta keep going. Yeah, tell us right with the Well, I'm trying to give it a couple seconds so I can know which one it is so I can say it back to the page. No, we don't need to know which one is Sony. Let's get into the podcast this week, Julie. Black, white, silver, green, um, power sports, engine, vehicle, comedy. Okay. Julian, we're gonna go ahead and get on into it, okay? Okay. Have you heard the rumors about the new GTA drop? Have you heard some of the rumors going on? Which rumors? Well, the one specifically that I'm talking about that I think is absolutely insane.

SPEAKER_06

Don't know if it's true. I heard it as a rumor, okay?

SPEAKER_03

What it is, is when you go to have an account with Rockstar Games to be able to play online, you have to upload your driver's license. And supposedly the rumor is they have you do that, so if you get banned, you cannot recreate an account and you'll be permanently banned from any future Rockstar game. See, I don't like this because I love using a VPN and just re creating an account. Yeah. But at the same time, I hate cheaters with a passion. Yep, yep, that is tough. So I'm like, hmm. That is a tough one. Yeah. No, I would sacrifice my freedom. Or no, I would not sacrifice my freedom to play the game, you know, potentially for uh the sake of trying to get rid of cheaters. Yeah, no, I would deal with a thousand cheaters before I give up a potential freedom and of course give them my frickin' identification card. Seriously. Okay, that was pretty quick.

SPEAKER_06

And I have no idea what it was.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. It might have been from what I was guessing earlier, bro. Okay, we got our first ones.

SPEAKER_03

Let's get on into it. Vehicle. Engine. If we have to open one right after, we know what it is. Okay. Alright. Back one to the front. I got a leaf energy. What energy do you get? Dark energy? You got dark energy. Okay. Or psychic energy. Yep. Alright. Flappy. Come on.

SPEAKER_02

Come on.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it's at a stand-up.

SPEAKER_05

What did you get? No, what'd you get?

SPEAKER_01

At the same time. One. You gotta reveal them at the same time. One, two, three.

SPEAKER_03

What'd you get? Dude. Are you kidding me? I think I might have him beat. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's one of the chase cards.

SPEAKER_05

It is.

SPEAKER_01

Wow.

SPEAKER_05

How's it? How are you looking at it? No, no.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, no stealing around here. Hey, I paid for this.

SPEAKER_03

Oh man. This is pretty amazing.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, half of that is actually a shot, just so you're clear. That's two shots if you do the whole thing.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not doing the whole thing. We've measured them.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. This is not cheating. We've measured them.

SPEAKER_03

This is one shot. You can ask our bartender.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, that is one shot. Those are actually two shotters.

SPEAKER_03

Currently valued at a $3 card. Ooh. Dude, Chaos Race has gone down so much since it's come out. It don't surprise me. I mean, I told you it was gonna happen. I'm a baby, by the way. Tell me how it tastes.

SPEAKER_01

Like gasoline.

SPEAKER_03

Must not be that bad. The rum and moonshine must make it taste like special. It's interesting. It really is.

SPEAKER_04

No, I wanna try it. Shit.

SPEAKER_03

I can't say it's bad, honestly. I can't say it's bad. Okay. We might have a new shot. Where's our penny sleeves? Oh. I got one right here at least. We're gonna want to have those on standby, apparently.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and and please hand me the other cards.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I would like them to not get spilled on.

SPEAKER_03

Terrible white mean, terrible centering. You see that top, bro? Like, look at that top. Yikes. Yikes. And hell, I mean, look at look at the left side compared to the right. Yeah, that one's bad. I guess the back isn't too bad. It's a little bottom heavy, but it's not too bad. That one's a rough, dude. That's what I think. What were we even talking about before that? We're talking about the identity with GTA 6. Do you think oh it's right.

SPEAKER_06

As somebody that plays on PC, it's not.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, I don't really follow video games when they come out, really. I mean, there's a couple, but not much. Is it normal for them to release them on console well before PC? I mean, usually they keep it within a month of each other. Oh, okay. Now, I've heard that they sometimes delay one or the other for either for like issues that they didn't see coming up or to make sure like crossplake is possible. Um, but honestly, I haven't ever seen a clear-cut answer exactly as to why they don't always release on the same day. Yeah. I mean, I've seen most of the time they do, but sometimes I do see. Yeah, just because I saw that GTA 6, it's coming out on PC after consoles. That's weird. I feel like they uh but but I do know what you're talking about with all those some of the other computer cities. Like the ones where they're talking about the AI drivers in it, sometimes like now they'll directly try and just hit you head on. People are saying that they're doing that, so you people hate GTA 5 and they'll go to GTA 6. But I mean, I've experienced that since I played the game years ago. I mean, I'll just be driving all of a sudden a car from an opposite lane, would be like, ooh, I'm gonna get you. I'm like, what? What the hell? You're just like real life.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. You think the connect was a flop? The Xbox Connect?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. That was a massive flop. I mean, you consider the Wii U a flop. The Kinect was like uh a freaking like black hole on itself.

SPEAKER_03

Well, you know what I think is funny though? Because the Xbox 360, after the Kinect came out, they had some consoles where it would come as a kit. And then when the and then when the Xbox One came out, it came with it, and nobody used it, even though it was free. Yeah, I was gonna say they literally had to give it to people for free for people to have it, and people still wouldn't use it. Yeah, yeah, but they would have it where it was like also you could commute, like you could talk to like Cortana and stuff, and nobody ever What's crazy though is the way the Kinect is set up, it's really cool because there's a lot of stuff you can do with it. Like uh, like just because it you know motion tracks you and it's pretty well done. There's a lot of people who use those, reverse engineer them, and you know, just have it as a way for like it watches me do this and controls something doing the same thing.

SPEAKER_06

Now I remember with the Connect because one of my cousins had it, and it was like the free game that came with the Kinect, and it was like the um the adventure disc or whatever.

SPEAKER_03

So you're like going into these like water uh oh, I'm trying to remember.

SPEAKER_01

Rapids?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, like the water rapids and stuff.

SPEAKER_01

I've played that one.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, the connect was it was a flop, but I think it's part of part of the history. Remy is part of the history, just like the Wii U. I remember where were those?

SPEAKER_06

It was before PlayStation had those little wand things with the big colored balls. But you didn't have to have the VR. What were those?

SPEAKER_03

It was uh PlayStation's response to the Kinect, yeah, despite the Kinect being already a failure. So why would we even bother with PlayStation doing something similar that's even more half-assed? Yeah. It's just wands that track your movement. Did you know it's just a freaking Wii for the PlayStation? Did you know the Wii you didn't have to have the little sensor bar? Huh? So you know the little sensor bar up at the front? It never works for me if I didn't have to do it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, if you didn't have that, it didn't work.

SPEAKER_03

No, you don't have to have it. All those are is it's little lights, so the remote can tell where it's at. Some people they would set up two candles. I remember. And the Wii remote would still work. But didn't you have to like actually plug it in though? Like the uh the I remember the sensor bar having it actually.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It plugged in, but all that was was power to put up the two lights.

SPEAKER_03

Um that's all it was. Everything was done in the remote. That's actually kind of neat. Yeah, that makes sense because I I I know about the whole candle trick where for some reason it does our mic. Yeah, because all it does is just tells the remote where it's at.

SPEAKER_01

You know how many of those we lost because dogs would eat them or they fell behind.

SPEAKER_03

Why do you think the wire was like freaking flossed? Yeah. Honestly, my I had a teacher that used those Wii remotes on her projector to uh make the whiteboard touch screen. Oh wow. Yeah, it was sick, dude. I would I I still don't understand how she did it, but they would sit there, you know, across from the projector pointing in, and she would use it to touch stuff. I freaking Was it projector? No. I think I I think I know what it is, but I think she just chose to wait longer for it. Well, I just want everyone to know, please comment below what you think it is. I have no idea. I think like actually, because I was not paying attention at all. I think I said it three minutes ago.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's been longer than 10 seconds because I looked at her when I said it. She looked at me, and I looked at her, and I was like, Okay, let's get into this.

SPEAKER_03

You might actually even know if you think about it. Actually, I want that one. I didn't open it yet. See, there's no way I could have known.

SPEAKER_01

Oh there you go.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Now we're even.

SPEAKER_01

Last minute trade. All right.

SPEAKER_03

Ready? Screw himself over. I got water. Wada. What's this one? Power? Yeah. I already win. What? I got a weedle.

SPEAKER_02

Minicuno. I win. Weedle!

SPEAKER_03

Oh man, I can already see the back one. Partly. Or is it good? Oh. Alright, I'm on to my hollows. That's not even your last one. That's not your hand card. Pull out the last one.

SPEAKER_06

That's your hand card.

SPEAKER_02

It is the hit card. What the fuck are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05

I got Caldeo.

SPEAKER_06

How is this dude?

SPEAKER_01

That would have been my card! Why did you trade? That could have been my card. It could have been your card and you traded.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that was fucking funny. Grab your penny sleeve.

SPEAKER_01

Hand me the cards. Hold on, give me a second.

SPEAKER_03

This is funny. Don't forget your energy. And yet you're the one that wants to taste it. That's what she said. Okay. I would love to taste it.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. Just so everyone knows, this is a full shot. That's a little over a shot. That's actually. Yeah, because half of that is one shot. That's better. That's Sean.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

That's one shot.

SPEAKER_03

I like this game. This is a fun game.

SPEAKER_01

I feel like next time just go with the one you get first.

SPEAKER_03

And then I'm gonna get another good one. I just like how Julian's always like, you don't drink enough on the podcast. And now when you finally have a game that you're agreeing to play, you're stuck drinking. What is Watchdog at right now?

SPEAKER_05

Bro, how do you get two hits in a row?

SPEAKER_03

So we said the word twice appearance.

SPEAKER_05

Is it bro?

SPEAKER_03

I don't Okay. I feel like it's black or white, bro. One of those two fucking colors. And I don't remember saying it a second time though, so that's what trips me out.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I'm gonna tell you that it may or may not be one of those words, but you have said them multiple times.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, oh no.

SPEAKER_01

Here's the thing about this game. I don't think you remember what the words you say.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

I do, I do.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. I I remember some of the words I say, bro. What's your I got a earth? Is that earth or plant? That's a uh that's uh life plant, I think. Uh-oh. I got gold belt. What you got on the first one? Wim pod. I ain't never heard of that motherfucker before. Alright, let's see. Let's see. On to my hollows. Alright, who's worth more? Deoxys? Uh-oh, or wait, I have deoxies, so we gotta take that one out. Alright, deoxies is out. Alright. We're this one's gonna be one of those, like, you know It's down to the penny, guys. Down to the penny. This is what we're down to? Hey, don't mix mine. I'm not, I'm not. Yours are on the right. Alright. What is this is what we're down to? What is your two? Here, I'll check my two. You check your two. Yep. So this one's 16, this one's 18. So mine's 18 is the highest. 19. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right. You know what? Are you gonna take his shot? Since we're down to the penny. No, we'll take one together. We'll take one together. Okay. This is the only time I'll do this for you because I feel bad. No, that's just because you want to try it.

SPEAKER_01

That's her. That's who that's it. Oh, who wrinkled that Pokemon?

SPEAKER_03

Um, Julian.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, you're gonna end up in Pokemon. I'm gonna make sure it's real.

SPEAKER_03

Alright, there's a black line in the center. That's how you know it's a real Pokemon card. Julian needs a shot glass. Julian, there's your shot glass.

SPEAKER_01

You could do that shot glass. He just drinks straight from the thing. Come on, get it in there.

SPEAKER_03

This wasn't half bad. Whoever has to, whoever loses at the end has to chug the whole thing. Yeah, that's fucking funny.

SPEAKER_01

I think they might die.

SPEAKER_03

I'll do that. I already got one.

SPEAKER_01

Well, were you gonna hand him the whole thing?

SPEAKER_03

Ready?

SPEAKER_01

Alright, here you go.

SPEAKER_03

I see what you mean. It it is a little like it has a smoothness to it. It's not very smooth. It's got a smoothness. Okay. So this time we'll tell you what the word is. But this is the only time. Only time. Only time. Next episode, you see us? Yeah. You better come back if you want to know what the word is. That's true. Oh well. If we get 20 likes, Julian's gonna call his ex. Listen, I'm going to Montana probably next month, anyways. 40 likes, I'll call my ex. Well, we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_05

It's for views, Lola.

SPEAKER_00

I'm telling your wife.

SPEAKER_05

Views.

SPEAKER_00

I'm totally telling your wife.

SPEAKER_05

If we made $10,000 an episode, I'm sure you wouldn't give a book.

SPEAKER_01

I'm still gonna tell your wife.

SPEAKER_03

God forbid he loses the next fuck of pack pal, dude.

SPEAKER_05

We got two left. Um, and I have yet to win one.

SPEAKER_03

That is crazy, actually. Three in a freaking row, and one of them you swapped with me. Yeah, you I'm so mad I would have won that one.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You know, there's like an actual like statistic where you're better off. Like, if you're ever given the option to switch, yeah, you should always keep the option you have. Really? I thought I heard you switch. No.

SPEAKER_01

You never switch. You always go with what you're what you've already picked up. It's the same with tests. With tests, you go with your first initial gut. You don't ever change it.

SPEAKER_03

No, you just never keep the same pattern.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_03

Cheating pool. Well, not even cheating. I haven't the way I did test was uh A B A A B C A B C D D D A B C D Oh. I haven't done B in a while. B C D E B D. Just whatever you haven't done in a while. Ding, I've got to be a good thing.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so you definitely didn't take test taking strategies because test taking strategy is go with your initial gut always. But C as a default answer is usually more correct than any of the other letters.

SPEAKER_03

I had some of the highest grades in my class. They wanted an essay. And I didn't read the book in at least two to three sentences. Explain what Pi did in the life of Pi and who the tiger was. What did the tiger represent?

SPEAKER_02

Like, why do I need to do three sentences to say that he was the goddamn tiger? He was the tiger!

SPEAKER_03

Bro, did you ever watch The Tiger King? Yeah. That stuff was great.

SPEAKER_01

That was hilarious.

SPEAKER_03

I heard he he's still like doing social media stuff. He's in prison. In prison.

SPEAKER_01

Oh no, wait. They arrested, I didn't realize.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. They arrested him on charges of he paid somebody to kill her.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Carol Baskin? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, but she was a murderer already.

SPEAKER_03

Well, that wasn't proven.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, but she was.

SPEAKER_03

But what was proven was that he tried to pay someone to kill her.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but then people met her and realized why. You could probably hit that.

SPEAKER_03

No, she actually had a I thought she had a fiance or something.

SPEAKER_01

Didn't she kill one of her husbands?

SPEAKER_03

Well, she killed one of her husbands. Then she got remarried, and then I think they got divorced. Oh, did they?

SPEAKER_01

I think when she went to prison.

SPEAKER_03

She didn't go to prison.

SPEAKER_01

She did for a while.

SPEAKER_03

What?

SPEAKER_01

For sure.

SPEAKER_03

I think they did get her on anime abuse charges at some point.

SPEAKER_01

I thought she got arrested. Oh.

SPEAKER_03

Not in the show. Or maybe you didn't get to that part yet. Not always black and white, man. No, they didn't. They haven't arrested her for anything.

SPEAKER_01

Not ever.

SPEAKER_06

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Then it was fake. I was hoping. That was just me hoping. Fake boobs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

He's he's uh serving 21 years in federal prison for murder for hire plot directed at Baskin.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it didn't even succeed, and he got 21 years. People who actually kill people get less. That was fucking wild.

SPEAKER_03

It was that, but he also got caught on or he also got federal charges for animal abuse. Oh. Even though he liked it, so it's more than just murdering.

SPEAKER_01

So animal abuse gets you more time than murder.

SPEAKER_05

Well, especially if Trump's in office. Did you hear about it?

SPEAKER_01

That I didn't hear anything.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's like federal now.

SPEAKER_01

For animal abuse. Oh, I did hear that. But I'm just saying verse murder of a human being or ten people.

SPEAKER_05

Well, but he didn't.

SPEAKER_01

I know someone who committed murder and got way less years.

SPEAKER_06

How old were they? Oh well.

SPEAKER_01

And they got they give it two people they murdered. And they got way less time than this guy.

SPEAKER_03

See, but was it premeditated? Yeah, I was gonna say, was it murder or homicide?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It was execution style.

SPEAKER_03

So was it murder or homicide? No, I think I think if it's if it's execution style, it might end up in like pre-planned. He wanted to do it beforehand. I mean, if you're doing execution stuff.

SPEAKER_01

He was doing a bad drug deal and they wanted more money than what he wanted to give them. So they tried to rough him up. So he took him to the yard execution style and short them.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so it wasn't premeditated.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that would be homicide. Yeah, that would be homicide.

SPEAKER_01

But he took them both out.

SPEAKER_03

First or second degree homicide.

SPEAKER_01

That was a fine question.

SPEAKER_03

Because one is essentially like No, I think it's still considered murder, but it's not first degree, because first degree is premeditated.

SPEAKER_01

Planned out.

SPEAKER_03

No, if I remember correctly, murder in itself is always premeditated in some aspect. It's a matter of like whether it happened more in the moment but was premeditated already. You planned on doing this, but something triggered it in the moment, or if it's like your whole plan initially from the get-go was murder. I have no idea. So it's like, I think I want to murder this guy, and then he pisses you off, and then you kill him, then it's like, you know, second degree. But if it's like I want to kill this guy, I'm gonna put in all the plans in action and set him up to be in this spot specifically so I can kill him, first degree.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I love this conversation because I can't wait for all the comments to be like Julian being a You're fucking stupid, you're fucking dumb.

SPEAKER_03

I knew it. I knew I said it. I knew I said it. I know the word. I know the word. I don't know the word. It is either black or white.

SPEAKER_02

What? Fuck! Damn it!

SPEAKER_03

We're gonna have to do another one after this. Just be ready. You grab everything, just be ready. Just at least give us one more topic.

SPEAKER_04

Goddamn topic.

SPEAKER_01

If you want a hint of how it works, I do let you finish your topic before I bell ring.

SPEAKER_04

I'm positive I know the one of the two words.

SPEAKER_03

Or or you know some it's one of those two words. Bro, these cards are like just think, bro. Hold on, hold on. I want to have a serious conversation here, okay? These cards, right? It's made out of paper. Somehow it's worth money.

SPEAKER_01

No! No! Wait, you mean like paper is?

SPEAKER_03

Okay, I guess if you don't want me to do the switch this time. No. I'm not doing it!

SPEAKER_01

Go with your gut. I got a fire energy right there.

SPEAKER_03

Let's get into it. I got irregular pump kaboo. Life energy. Pump kaboo is my first card. Wim pod. I got a pump kaboo.

SPEAKER_01

Say it again.

SPEAKER_05

Pump kaboo. Pat rat rat. Shit.

SPEAKER_03

Pump kaboos. Reverse hollow. Some policy. Some foreign policy. Uh oh, again. Alright. You got a hollow. Oh, your your uh your crow pad might be worth though. It's not reverse. Alright, I was just in another one that's gonna be by the cent.

SPEAKER_01

Down to the last one.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, my this one's 18 cents, I'm pretty sure, because the other one was 19 cents. Let's see. 12 cents. You already have me beat. Yeah, twenty twenty-six cents is my highest. I have to work tomorrow. I guess this means I can drive home tonight. Here, here, I'll join you again, buddy. Try to get on my level. I need to stay on your level. I can't let you beat me. Damn.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Don't worry, I wasn't doing that. Because I still cheer. Because we both got ass.

SPEAKER_01

Just think they're doing this for less than a dollar. And Pokemon earnings. Please hand the cup this way after you're done with your attack.

SPEAKER_03

Sorry, I had a burp. There's a lot of vodka in that work. And he when are you gonna call us out for saying the word? Still fucking waiting, bro. You can't wait too long because then the audience can never. How are they gonna know it?

SPEAKER_04

It's been fucking 10 minutes since we've got it.

SPEAKER_01

I was going to do it because I've heard it a couple times.

SPEAKER_04

You've heard it three times now, four times.

SPEAKER_01

You don't know the word. I know the fucking word. Tell me the word right now. It's either white or black. You were so fucking wrong.

SPEAKER_06

See, but what I'm saying though is if you don't say it when it happens, then the audience is gonna be like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01

No, I'm it's a fucking word, bro. You started your nonsense of complaining like nagging housewives. So here's the bell. Shut the fuck up. So what if we don't like black people? It's not black and white, just so we're clear to everyone out there.

SPEAKER_05

Before we open it, Lola, would you like to reveal the word?

Look at their print quality on these. I feel like they don't care as much as the real cards. Look at this.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_01

Wait, what? Wait, not graded?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, not graded.

SPEAKER_01

Oh Julian, chug the rest of the jug. Chug the jug. Chug the jug.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, and why the fuck does it have to have so much fucking whitening, dude?

SPEAKER_03

Well, we see it. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01

Stop touching it with your fingers.

SPEAKER_03

Left side is short. Top, left, and or top. No. The right side's not short, bro. No, look at the back side.

SPEAKER_01

Do you know your left and right?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, the fuck. This thing's not centered at all. It's an eight and a half or nine. Well, that's why you just keep it as a RAW. It's a seven PSA.

SPEAKER_01

We also had a question because you said you shouldn't, and I'm sure there's people that listen that are curious too. You said that you should not get graded by a company that sells graded Pokemon.

SPEAKER_03

I was about to mention that. Yeah, I was that's actually the exact thing I was going to try and loop back to. Yeah. Like, so there's a lot of issues with TCG going on lately. Have you seen any of them? Or so there's reports of people sending cards in, and when they get their card back, they have a completely different hollow pattern.

SPEAKER_01

So they they drained the cards with other cards to give them a lesser grade.

SPEAKER_03

And they took that card that got a higher grade so that they could sell at the 10.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, so it's personal profit.

SPEAKER_03

So the thing is, is this is all alleged. It's been proven that TEC or that uh PSA has sent cards back that were completely different from the original cards sent in. And this all started happening not too long after they started selling their own graded cards. And the problem is there's multiple cases of this, and there's even cases where people have had cards go missing in transit, you know, uh after being sent back, but at the same time show up within the same week for sale as a 10 on TCG or on uh PSA's website. There's been cases of that. Then there's of course the typical cases where you send something in that's clearly a 10, any other company would send it as a 10 and they give you a seven for population.

SPEAKER_01

So I have a question because when you get a card graded and they have their little tablet or whatever, right? So they do they not take a picture of your card so it like correlates to your name?

SPEAKER_03

So they as far as I'm aware, they don't like correlate it to your person or anything like that. They do give your card a specific uh code in the system to say that this is registered in PSA's system as this card.

SPEAKER_01

But no picture evidence of the exact card.

SPEAKER_03

I don't believe so. I haven't set enough in to know for sure. That's rough. So that's why there's like the users who have taken photos of their card beforehand and seen where the stars on their holo are. Because when you get a holo card, the stars almost never sit in the same place. They're always going to be in different spots. So it's that star pattern that some people actually like more on some cards too when they're raw, and will be more likely to buy two when it's raw. So they've set in cards with this specific star pattern on their holo, and when they get it back, it's a completely different star pattern. And it's like there's no way for that to happen.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Other than grab that card, that's your card.

SPEAKER_01

So if somebody was going for the first time to get a card graded, what would you recommend for them for security purposes if the company you're sending it through is not actually going to provide you the security that you possibly need?

SPEAKER_03

If you think it's a 10, take every photo of every angle of the card as you possibly can. Because if you do back PSA into a corner, they will honor you. Cause they have to, but you have to back them into a corner somehow. The easiest way to back them into a corner is with excessive photographic evidence of the exact card that you have with proof that it's you taking photos of that card. So like if you want, have a little you know, paper with a timestamp and date and your name on it with that card in multiple different angles of front and back to make sure that you can prove that this is the card you sent in and not the card you got back. Unless you're Logan Paul, then everything's a 10. Yeah, then if you're Logan Paul, you're good.

SPEAKER_01

Well there's that, but we're not all Logan Paul.

SPEAKER_03

This card clearly had so much shit on it. Oh, is Logan Paul that's in it? 10. This card's ripped in half.

SPEAKER_02

How am I even supposed to grab 10? Come on, guys.
