Welcome to Right About Now. It's Friday, February 21st, 2025.

Got my good friend Chris Hansen in the studio here, buddy. What's up? Good. Good to be here. Getting close here. I know. In the studio, live in G Vegas. We have, hey, welcome to the snow, brother.

I definitely didn't plan for a snow snow day here in South Carolina, but yeah, exactly. Yeah, man. Uh, you never know. We get Greenville's, you know, right at the foothills, red below the base in the mountains. We get the four seasons in two weeks. Sometimes it was 80 degrees two weeks ago. We've got snow coming down. We're at the beautiful social house. My coworker lounge here in Greenville on the swamp private trail. Come see us drop in any time.

You never know. Sam, Mr. Hanson might be here, you know, it's a great spot. We, uh, we appreciate everyone for listening wherever, whenever you're catching us, uh, we're bringing you today's hottest business news as always. And you know, anything else we want to get into, we might even have a second angle here today. It's some of the sports card business we've been talking about. So, uh, my kids and I've been watching, I mean, it's fun. It's almost

addictive of watching these YouTube videos. We'll pat open cards. It's like watching online gambling. Yeah. I'll admit I wasn't a huge believer until I was at the airport in Miami on the way here and I see a vending machine with like six teenage boys buying these exact sports cards. And I was like, all right. Yeah, exactly. There's something to this. There's money in this.

Yeah, there is money. I had not seen the vending machines, but you know, nothing surprises me anymore. So how's the week been, brother? It's great. I'm happy to be up here. We've been hanging out, knocking out some stuff. Hit the cold plunge last night. Yes, that was interesting. I hadn't done that in a while.

It was my first time, but 37 degrees. I was impressed with you. 37 degrees, two minutes for a beginner type. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, man. It's got a, I can, I a mentally strong, you know, it's got to shut it down. Yeah. You just block out the noise. I don't know. Anyway, listening out there that's been in the cold plunge, you know, sauna and cold plunge is all the

rage. Yeah. It's good for you. Chris and I ventured in. We've got another show called Vibe Science. Go check that out. We talk about all the latest in health and wellness. And we, Hey, we practice what we preach, brother. Yeah. No, no one can say we're out. We talk about all the latest in health and wellness. We, Hey, we practice what we preach brother. No one can say we're poses for doing. We're doing the deal. That content alone might be worth the price of admission. I'd look, I can't, you know, like I shut it down, but I don't know what, uh, facial features I had going on. In the zone, man. It's going to shut it down. Yeah. But hey,

they say it's great for you. I mean, I know you talked about on the show, we have all these specialists on supposedly, mentally, physically, your body like this goes into this complete, you know, you can either let it overtake you, or you just got to lock in. And then the hour after it that you're rewarming, I think is, is the most interesting part. It's through the buzz. I was having, I'd had an energy drink right before that combined. I'm like, whoo. All right. Ryan sitting in the corner, kind of just staring out in the abyss for a while.

I was like, yeah, who needs that in a good way? He needs the party drugs. He needs to go get the cold plunge. Yeah, exactly. But I appreciate our friends at Soul Yoga, who's right here next to us on the Son of Robert Trail. Give them a shout out. Appreciate them. Their owner, Krish, has been on our show, actually, here. So you can go check out that episode. He's a great entrepreneur. He's doing some amazing things, but we appreciate them. And we're gonna jump right at it. It's funny. I feel like we read these headlines, Chris, and it's like the same, it's nuances to the same themes.

Yeah. Okay. It's interest rates, it's tariffs, it's doge. And not the crypto. Not the crypto, though it could be. Yeah, it could be. You'll have to get your insights on the crypto. Not the crypto. It could be. You have to get your insights on the crypto today. I am. The crypto has been sort of plateaued. I'm ready for it. It's time for a jump. It's time. That's all there is. Yeah, we'll get into it.

We'll get into it. So here's what companies are saying about the impact of these policies. So 2025 earnings session insight or season insights, companies are grappling with the impact of President Donald Trump's policies, particularly tariffs and immigrations as frequent topics on earnings calls. Terms like tariff immigration and newer concepts like DOGE. I don't know that it's newer anymore. Department of Government Efficiency and Gulf of America are surfacing more often in corporate discussions. So all the talk and I think, I think the jury is still out about what the impact is going

to be. And I think that's why you're seeing people talk about it. It's raising eyebrows. They're like, okay, how much of this is dialogue? Yeah, that's not necessarily gonna, the policy is not going to change. It's not going to affect every business. Yeah, you know, back to like we said, that negotiating tactics versus how many things are actually going to be, you know, put in place. I think that's

where sort of the trepidation, depending on where you fall. I think we're in this weird in between kind of where, you know, the plays have been made, the decisions have been made, and now we're kind of in that waiting period to see the impact. And I think obviously the press needs something to write about.

It's almost like, let's just write and talk theories. What could, what couldn't. And, you know, I think that relates to everything. I think we're at kind of an observation point right now of this administration where, all right, decisions have been made, moves have been made. Now let's come and just sit and see what happens. Yeah. It says, uncertainty remains across many of our core markets and the global economy. We've game planned out several scenarios and steps we could take depending on what actually goes into effect. That's from Scott Heron, CFO of Cisco. So, exactly.

There's a bunch of things we could do, but we won't know until we know. Great, thanks for the update, Scott. Yep, and this was a quote from one of the CEOs. I think Doe's is going to bring meritocracy and transparency to government. I think that's exactly what our commercial business is. So since the government continues to drive to be more efficient, we see this as a continued opportunity for the company. That was Bill Manie, CEO of Iron Mountain. Not for me with Iron Mountain, but clearly he made the article. I think it's a hedge fund or something.

I think we're in this wait and see period. And all I can say is for people, most people listen to the show, keep your head down, man. Keep your head down and keep moving forward. Yeah. The headlines are so I found this a bit for myself. We have this show, we want to talk about news and bring value and make it actionable. But some of this stuff is like, we got to like remove ourselves from a bit. It's not because we're interested, but like the daily impact is just it can be distraction. Yeah, versus knowledge the daily impact is just, it can be distraction

versus knowledge. That's what it feels like right now. Right. I think there's other information you could be absorbing on a daily basis that would serve you better than kind of it's filler news, right? Like I don't, there's no big movement happening. No, they're just reporting on previous stuff that's happened and kind of speculating on the future, you know, so

Like you said keep your head down and keep moving forward whatever it is you're doing and just There's a light coming. Yeah, exactly. I did I did like this jumping straight to some of our You know lighter news Coke launching simply pop You know this plays across both of our shows. I thought it's interesting. It's a pre-bay biotic lighter news, Coke launching Simply Pop. You know, this plays across both of our shows. I thought it was interesting. It's a pre-biotic soda. I wanna taste this just because it looks tasty.

It looks good. Yeah, strawberry pop. I mean, who doesn't want like a strawberry soda? I'm thinking like, you know, a cross between what? Like crush, not orange crush, but like strawberry crush. Yeah. If it tastes anything like that, I'm in. I mean, I'm into these. I like to I've had some of the other brands of the

prebiotic sodas and they're definitely I can't speak on the actual nutrition health. I feel like I'm being healthier when I drink them. And they taste good enough to where I'm like, Oh, this is a healthy soda. But honestly, I think it's about time Coke got there. They're losing revenue on traditional soda. So this is a marketing little, we're looking at our screen here of marketing. Yeah. This is the new term. Juice squeezed. It's like, it's like, like it's the benefits. It's not fresh squeezed. It's juice squeezed. That's far concentrate.

That's good marketing. I've ever heard it, where else would it have come? Of course. Hey, how can we say it's sort of like fresh squeezed, but not fresh squeezed? It's juice squeezed. What the hell does, what does juice squeeze mean? How do you squeeze? You don't squeeze the juice. You squeeze the fruit. So sorry, Coke. I'm, you got a marketer here reading business news. I know all the tricks. That's one of them right there. They went to legal and said, how can we say this made with real fruit juice? So it's juice squeezed. That's a little bit of a misleading marketing label. If you ask me, it's from concentrate. Yeah. Then concentrated. So it's juice

squeezed, not fruit squeezed and then concentrated. Hmm. Hmm. We'll hear about it in six months on our show. Someone will tell us a prebiotics. I've always thought prebiotics sounded bad. Like I had, I don't know why, but like when I first heard it, and I was very ill informed like five or six years ago, like when it was starting to bubble up, I was like, and it wasn't necessarily in the context that it is now, oh, that doesn't sound good.

I think I was like, antibiotics, like. Like it's the opposite of antibiotics. Prebiotic, oh no. Don't put that in my drink. The pro and pre- Like it's the opposite of antibiotic. Prebiotic, hold on. The probiotic. Don't put that in my drink. The pro and pre. Do not put that in my drink. I want no prebiotics.

I need antibiotics. Yeah, and now it's in everything. Anyway, has nothing to do with that. And I was an idiot. It's something to do with your gut health. It helps your gut health. It's good for your digestive health. Yes.

But I'm liking these flavors. I like the cans. I got the Simply. I just hope it tastes good, man. I gotta have I gotta have good taste. That's that's what it comes down to. Can you make it healthy and taste good? Lots of times it's fight with one another. Send us a few boxes. Let us taste it.

Yeah, but I will say this is it relates to the business market. All these alternative drinks are the rage. Yeah. So you have declining alcohol drinkers, you have people really watching the sugar content. Yeah. You have people wanting alternative ways to get energy or different buzzes, electrolytes that aren't as seemingly unhealthy as alcohol and other things. So there's a lot of damn money in this. It's just, it seems like it's hard to get traction.

Like we've seen a lot of companies, director retail, all that stuff. It's just, you know, if one thing when Coke launches it, they've already got a billion places of distribution. But it's big business in the liquid. Cause look, people always want something fresh to drink. You know, water's great, but I think there's always room for this stuff.

But I think there's like this new, I don't know, the health drink business is supposed to just like 10X for the next few years. What's your favorite drink, Chris, that's in this space of kind of wellness? that's in this space of kind of wellness. I mean, outside of like a natural cold press juice. Yeah. Like anything that's like, I mean, you've had it.

You've had like CBD drinks or neither. Have you had any of those or like the mushroom ones? Have you had any of the ones that like that? Nah, you're not tripping or anything. Yeah, there's one I think is called Odyssey. Yeah, that's a. Because I see those hit my Facebook feed like. Yeah, they're one I think is called Odyssey. Yeah, that's a glassy those hit my Facebook feed like, yeah, they're like a mushroom elixir. It's like lion's mane. It's an energy drink with mushrooms with mushrooms are really good for,

you know, a lot of a lot of things for your brain and your physical health. But I really did like those I tried those those I thought were pretty awesome. And then non-energy, there's one called Mellow, that's just watermelon juice. But they have some with like watermelon juice and ginger or watermelon passion fruit. Cause watermelon juice has a lot of natural electrolytes, so it's very hydrating.

So also good for your blood pressure, good for your libido too, FYI. So that's another one that if you asked me like what I used to love soda, like one, two sodas a day, that's been my now substitute at night is, you know, a sparkling watermelon drinker. And we've talked about some of the CBD drinks, you know, there's a lot of these new THC CBD sparkling beverages that are getting a lot of popularity. I've seen a lot of my friends that are moving away from alcohol, like you mentioned, right? These low kind of low dose THC CBD drinks that are more social

and chill. So yeah. And that's, you don't get the hang of it. I think I started seeing more of that at the bars. Yeah. It becomes more mainstream and obviously legal. I'm not suggesting like, you know. And bars and trikes, right? But yeah. I mean, I know in New York, there was bars trying to do CBD elixirs and whatnot, and then just regulation kind of got in the way of it.

So I think that will start to get out of the way as you see the growth. And then it's just, but I do think sometimes there's like contrary. It's like, if you're getting buzzed up drunk versus the mellow, those are opposing parties. It is. I mean, I got friends, they like beer and you're one of those guys. Yeah. I like beer too. You're a beer guy. I'm not like a raging, like, I don't know. I can drink 10 beers and be kind of the same guy. Yeah. A lot of people's personalities change.

Yeah. People take their poison, but I think having an alternative, like, like say it's the CBD drinks were before we'd had nothing, right? It was alcohol or nothing. And even now you have some of these drinks. I forget the name of the company, Katy Perry is a partner in it, but they make these like champagne drinks that have mushrooms and L-theanine. And I, it was a friend of mine was pregnant

and she introduced me to it actually. So there's, you're right. It's gonna 10X all these alternatives, all these alcohol alternatives. And some of them give you a buzz and they're good for you. So. I think you're gonna see a lot in that. I would just caution people listing. DDC is tough.

Yeah, you got to get distribution. Oh, I we got approached some guys wanted to launch a drink last year and it was a great idea. Great. Yeah, great branding, great formula. But it's a lot of time and energy. Yeah, pun intended. You have to drink a lot of those drinks to make it happen. The I saw this. So Elon Musk related to Doge is weighing a Doge dividend to send Americans checks using

using saved funds. It sounds like IRS repayments to me. Yeah. In a roundabout way. He later said the Dogearter should be on closing the federal budget deficit. So I guess he's like, I guess before we should send checks, we need to close the deficit. But nonetheless, everybody not like the way he's getting there. But I like what he's trying to do. I mean, I'm enjoying watching the process, just seeing all the fraud and abuse get exposed because we've all known it's there.

But seeing it, you know, in these updates with the receipts, they're showing of what was spent on what is really just like enraging to a degree, right? As a taxpayer. So I like this quote right here. This is very important for people to understand. A country is no different from an individual. And then if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt.

And so can a country. And the massive waste, fraud, and abuse that has been going on and leading to two trillion a year in a deficit. That's it, right? At the end of the day. That's what I mean when I talk about having business guys back in the building. Yeah, exactly. It's like just looking at basic costs. We need to balance the budget as the first priority. We need to balance the budget as the first priority. Agreed.

We've talked about this a lot. If we ran our companies the way the government runs, you know, and the only way they get away with it is because then they can just say, well, they're protecting the people. It's different, you know, but it's not different. So we'll see how it gets there. Nonetheless, it's fun. I thought this was fun. So the Golden State Warriors have launched a record label. The Golden State Warriors are making waves beyond the court by launching their own record

label. This move reflects the growing synergy between sports and the music industry, allowing athletes and franchises to tap into the cultural influence of hip hop and other genres. Kind of cool. I, you know, I see the crossover, right? Especially I forward thinking if you got guys with NIL licensing and stuff. Yeah. It's like, Hey, we have a studio now as part of your package. We need 20% of whatever revenue you bring. Exactly right. Expect to see exclusive tracks, collaboration with big name artists and crossover content

that deepens fan engagement. It's interesting. So. And the NBA and also the NBA and hip hop has always been very intertwined. Very. It strikes me as the right marriage. Yeah.

For sure. Especially if you think about like, you know, warming up, I play basketball life. You're warming up. You got, you got pumping up, pumping up. You got music play. It's probably experienced the games. Yeah. It's interesting though, how the golden state, you know, not that they can't get over this, but it's one team. So you got those players. It was a, I'm sure they'll integrate, but like if LeBron James plays for the Lakers and he wants to, you know, if they got a record record label that they start and they've got a rapper working with LeBron James, you get in those conflicts or they get a sip.

You would think they're going to separate church and state between the team and individual players and stuff. Otherwise it comes limited because what is it just going to be Steph Curry? Yeah. Cause golden Steph. That's his theme. He's going to become a bunch of players, like having beef with other players with their own, like teams, rap label.

It's going to be another Tupac and Biggie. Biggie and Steph with NBA teams. Record labels clashing. On the court, off the court, in the bars. This is good marketing. Behind the scenes. Yeah. It makes sense though. It's on a par to like Mello.

Didn't he just release that song? I went viral. He did. You got a lot of athletes that try to be artists, Antonio Brown, for example, is one, but nostalgia is proving to be a major driver in fashion trends as retro football jerseys take over fashion. Hey, what's old is new again. And this is not a, this is a new trend, but an old trend.

This is a trend that's when I was getting in time. Yeah. Like every 20 years, this becomes a thing you're rocking it because there's new vintage every 20 years. I got to find my old Larry Bird jersey. I don't know where that thing is. I think it got sold in Grotzel, but that thing would be right. I like the old vintage like Buccaneers and Dolphins stuff. Once confined to game days, these vintage pieces are now becoming staple streetwear

worn by celebrities, influencers, and everyday fashion forward consumers. High-end brands and sportswear giants alike are capitalizing on the trend by reissuing classic jerseys. Going to start seeing these around a lot of it. Yeah, I just does that devalue. Do you feel like you can rock it like an NBA jersey though? And not going to a game, but like, no, I'll say this. I will never wear.

I don never wear. I don't wear jerseys. I just am like a big weird thing of like, why am I rocking another dude's last name on my body? Now, I wear a team shirt or something like that. But let's be real, I've never been a big enough fan to like follow players and even like go purchase a jersey. Like that's part of it. I get right. But But now I'll get one of those vintage with no name. Get my own name on the back maybe.

Yeah, I can't, I can't pull that off. And I didn't really care about that. Would you rock it with the tee under or just tank style? I just wouldn't rock it. You're like, this is dope and I just can't pull it off. You know, like, hey, there's a respect NFL jersey. Maybe, maybe, but not that you could get it. You could NFL. Yeah. You could get away with that. But going to a game or going to a party, I just don't know about rocking it. Like, like right now, it'd be a little fun.

There's a sports show maybe, but I don't know. Pull that off.. I don't know if I want to pull it off, but I liked them. I see other people and I'm like, maybe for Halloween. Yeah. Like you could be Larry Bird. Yeah, I'm actually Larry Bird. Yeah. Exactly. Tall white guy.

Yeah. I love it. The XRP news. Bitwise XRP ETF clears first hurdle towards eight billion jackpot. Bitwise just cleared a huge hurdle towards launching a spot XRP exchange traded fund part of a bigger, big eight billion inflows. The Securities Exchange Commission has acknowledged the asset manager's application to launch making it the third applicant to pass this important milestone. The likelihood of an XRP ETF approval is high.

Would that say an XRP itself up? Yeah, absolutely. Of course, because now you have it. I mean, it's a true security. Like that's that's where your parents are going to their stock broker down the road. And they're saying, OK, Mr. Mrs. Allford, we're going to put 10% in this XRP ETF. And they'll say, okay, that sounds safe and good. That's what I see happening. Right. Yeah. What's going on with the market in general? It got slammed this week. And I, from what I'm reading, again, I'm no freaking crypto

expert or no financial advice, but crypto Chris. Yeah. I'm being educated on crypto Twitter, which you've been on that. It's like the trenches. If you don't even open it, it's like Reddit. But the big news this past week was involving Argentina in a project called Libra. And essentially, this project was, you know, the president of Argentina tweeted out about it and kind of This project was, you know, the president of Argentina tweeted out about it and kind of under the assumption people thought this was like Argentina's new cryptocurrency, their cryptocurrency, their stable coin. So it obviously valuation shot up ton of people invested and then guys basically just drained it sucked out.

I think it was close to a billion maybe I can't't remember the exact number, but did not look good for Argentina. It was a big bad thing reputation wise for the industry. It makes it because you have genuine people really trying to change their currencies, right? You have countries like El Salvador, where they have a Bitcoin reserve. In Argentina, I think for the first time in many years had just gotten out of a deficit, I believe too. This new president was doing a good job economically, but this now drained a ton of liquidity. A lot of normal retail investors, normal Argentinian people lost a lot of money. But it does look like the guys behind it are addressing it

or there'll be some consequences. But as a whole, that shook everything up, scared a lot of people. That was the biggest thing that I was kind of aware of going on that shook a lot of people. Because really when you have news like XRP, possibly getting an ETF approval, like that should signal the market to move up. And that's kind of what everyone anticipated with this administration with all these pro crypto policies like this happening. But that doesn't

mean it's still kind of the Wild West and you got bad players and anywhere there's big money, you're gonna have bad people try to get their hand in, unfortunately. So I see my a bad you're looking good with your your your your XRP guy. Yeah, that's good news for you. I know it's up 5% today or $2.67. Money rewards the patient.

Yeah, exactly. So I mean, I just keep eating refresh. Oh, 4.4. This is what you didn't do to yourself. Refresh, refresh, refresh. What are we up to? 268 went up a cent while we were talking. So I don't know.

Hey, it's already green. It's in the green. Last six months, it's up 372%. So what I'm saying, you know, if you zoom out, be a little patient. And that can apply to even the general news, right? We're just, you don't need to necessarily be in it every day. There's not always stuff that you need to know. Go read a book. Take a walk. Yep. So I bought it about right here. stuff that you need to know. Go read a book. Take a walk.

Yep. See, I bought it about right here. I'm pretty sure 90% of the general population is not going to have an influence on tariff. So we might as well stop reading about it every six hours. But you can go buy XRP and watch it. Yeah. Go up 300% hopefully. Yeah, exactly. We've been talking about sports cards, sports cards trading. The sports card market size is worth $20.48 billion. It will be by 2030. It's only five years. Yeah, I know. Exactly. I mean, dude, there's some real damn money in this shit.

Those vending machines, man. I know. That's why we're gonna open some packs here. Open some packs. So we got any money rolling in today. Yes. What we got? Hey, our good friends at Panini, Don Russ.

You never know what you're gonna get. It's like lottery in a pack, man. It's, no it is, it's scratch offs for children. Are you kidding me, kid? No, I'm just saying they got you. It's no it is it's scratch offs for children No, I'm just saying they got you yeah, they're getting the same dopamine hit yeah exactly We got our camera view even on this one. So you get a little closer up. Oh, yeah. Look at that Yes, and that tight look at that. Oh, they're giving me a stop They obviously agreed to who would be on the cover of these way before they came on me Aaron Rodgers kind of fizzled like the wind who's on the front of the cover.

But you never know if you're not watching the YouTube video, you're not getting the full effect here. You're on YouTube, Spotify, or at Ryanisright.com. You get links to this stuff. So we'll get in. It's kind of hard to do it in reverse, but look, all right, who we got here, who we got, who we got, who we got. Uh, uh, no, these first four up, Jimmy Smith.

Nobody. I don't see any holographs. Uh, tank Dell, tank Dell, no autographs. And then this is this tank Dell, two tank D in one. He's two Dels in one. Romadente gonna be pretty good as it comes up. Not bad. This would be the three hits of the card. Oh, this is my boy, T Higgins, clumsy guy. I get that out. Take those out, man.

Hey, look at, look at the detail on these cards. I mean, they got the foil on that thing. I think we need like official cards of us foil on it. You know, you get it in there. Sports cards. Hopefully Taint Delves can feel like they're smaller than they used to be. Cause your hands are big. You're not 12 years old anymore.

You know, you were a midget as a kid. I was a big MLB card guy. Exactly. You never know. You never know tank Dell. Hope you have a great season. We've got two of you, so you never know what's going to happen. Shout out to our friends, Don Ross and Panini.

You never know what you're going to get. It's a lotto in a pack. Hey, it should be DM. I might send you one of these. Aaron Rodgers. Lovely packs. You never know. You can pull a downtown. I may, you never know. I didn't even tell you about this, Chris, was in Asheville last week. They make these cards that are essentially, you know, like this, but it's like a downtown logo. And it shows the backdrop of like almost like a artwork. It was I pulled a gold Josh Allen one of 10. It's $5,000 card. I hope you put it in plastic.
