1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.290 Sean Murray: TV, I'm Sean Murray. 2 00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:02.940 Johny Fernandez: And I'm Johny Fernandez. Thank you guys so 3 00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:06.270 much for joining us today, Sean. Happy Valentine's Day. 4 00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:06.840 Sean Murray: Thank you. 5 00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:08.820 Johny Fernandez: No problem, I mean, you're not my Valentine's. 6 00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:10.440 But you know, I no you're not. 7 00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:13.590 Sean Murray: I'm very hurt. It's okay. But love is still in the 8 00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:13.740 air. 9 00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:16.200 Johny Fernandez: Love is still in the air. Exactly. I mean, you 10 00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:18.240 could be my Valentine's for the next 20 minutes. 11 00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:20.040 Sean Murray: How about that? All right. 12 00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:21.950 Johny Fernandez: All right. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. 13 00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:25.130 All right, Sean. So we have some exciting news. But we're going 14 00:00:25.130 --> 00:00:29.180 to talk about that towards the end of our broadcast. But for 15 00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:32.570 right now, let's talk about Congress. A couple of members of 16 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:36.530 Congress are actually, you know, asking President Biden for 17 00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.250 relief for small businesses, specifically that were affected 18 00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:43.130 by the Omicron variant. Yeah. So we've talked a lot about like 19 00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:46.100 things like PvP and all that. But now specifically, members of 20 00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:48.980 Congress, they're asking President Biden to help out 21 00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:51.980 businesses that have been affected by the Omicron 22 00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:54.770 variants, specifically small businesses, and they want to 23 00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:58.430 give relief packages to these small businesses, these guys 24 00:00:58.430 --> 00:01:03.290 that were hit hardest by Omicron. People, restaurant 25 00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:05.450 owners, for example, that's like, some of the people that 26 00:01:05.450 --> 00:01:09.590 were categorized, and they're also asking for other 27 00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.710 businesses, like the travel industry, the fitness industry 28 00:01:12.710 --> 00:01:16.400 to kind of be included in this relief package to help them out. 29 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.210 Because at this point, you know, I mean, members of Congress say, 30 00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:23.750 I've also been saying that we don't know what the future is 31 00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:26.090 gonna hold, we don't know what springtime gonna hold, and 32 00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:30.590 specifically with the supply chain issues, and then with this 33 00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:33.410 going on, some businesses aren't going to be able to survive, 34 00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:36.920 essentially, moving forward. So that's why they're asking 35 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.030 President Biden for a relief, like relief packages for this. 36 00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:45.080 So petitioners are worried about the following thing, surges in 37 00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:50.450 businesses that pretty much are going to out price the 38 00:01:50.450 --> 00:01:53.360 communities that they're already located in. So if this business 39 00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:55.910 is located in a specific community, they've been badly 40 00:01:55.910 --> 00:01:58.940 hit, they bump up their prices, and then that's going to affect 41 00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:01.460 pretty much that entire community. That's one of the 42 00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:06.080 things they're worried about. So, Sean, I mean, we've talked 43 00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:10.790 about this throughout the last two years. I mean, is this the 44 00:02:10.790 --> 00:02:16.580 move? I guess, is this the appropriate move for Congress to 45 00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:19.130 help out like these small businesses because we're in, you 46 00:02:19.130 --> 00:02:23.510 know, this space, so I guess, what's your reaction to hearing 47 00:02:23.510 --> 00:02:24.440 something like this? 48 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.260 Sean Murray: I don't know if it's the appropriate move. But 49 00:02:27.260 --> 00:02:32.510 it certainly could potentially be a move, I guess, what's kind 50 00:02:32.510 --> 00:02:36.290 of the unique thing here is that we've already finished PPP. 51 00:02:36.950 --> 00:02:40.370 We've already finished the EIDL. Right, and then the Omicron 52 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:45.770 variant hit after, we wound down all those programs. And as you 53 00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:49.760 mentioned, that this is this is a this is a request. As far as I 54 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:51.290 know, it's not even really a bill. 55 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.520 Johny Fernandez: It's a request. 56 00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:55.610 Sean Murray: It's a request with a letter written by a handful of 57 00:02:55.610 --> 00:02:59.930 members of Congress, asking Biden to do something. I don't 58 00:02:59.930 --> 00:03:02.120 know what he'll be able to do or what he'll be able to convince 59 00:03:02.150 --> 00:03:06.650 others to do. But it seems like they're asking for kind of like 60 00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:10.370 a targeted relief package. I know that they, they talked 61 00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:13.340 about like the, like, the restaurant and like venue 62 00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:16.220 operators. Yeah. There was a program that was specific for 63 00:03:16.220 --> 00:03:16.520 them. 64 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:17.000 Johny Fernandez: Correct. 65 00:03:17.030 --> 00:03:19.880 Sean Murray: Venue venue and venue operators and restaurants, 66 00:03:19.910 --> 00:03:23.060 and that they wanted to reopen that specific program. 67 00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:25.790 Johny Fernandez: So those specific program was the 68 00:03:25.820 --> 00:03:30.290 restaurant revitalization program. And the shuttered venue 69 00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:31.520 operators grant. 70 00:03:31.970 --> 00:03:33.560 Sean Murray: So I'm combining the two, I combined. 71 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.960 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, but essentially, yes, it is. It is 72 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.340 that and those programs will help, you know, restaurants, for 73 00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:40.760 example. 74 00:03:40.790 --> 00:03:41.660 Sean Murray: Or venues. 75 00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:42.110 Johny Fernandez: Or venues. 76 00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:44.550 Sean Murray: Yeah. But so you mentioned one, you know, you 77 00:03:44.550 --> 00:03:47.220 mentioned one thing in particular here, that stands out 78 00:03:47.220 --> 00:03:51.450 that's different from a lot of the other relief intention, 79 00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:54.690 intentions that we've heard before. And that is it's not 80 00:03:54.690 --> 00:04:00.090 just about keeping businesses open or keeping jobs. It's that 81 00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:04.110 they're also concerned about prices in an era of inflation. 82 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:09.240 Their thought process is, if you've lost a lot of venues, if 83 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.660 you've lost a lot of restaurants, and now you have 84 00:04:12.660 --> 00:04:18.210 this post COVID boom, in those particular industries, well, 85 00:04:18.210 --> 00:04:22.920 then you have a limited supply, but high demand, and the price 86 00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:26.460 can shoot up. Can shoot up yeah. So the price goes up in a period 87 00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:29.610 where we already have inflation, where I think the you know, the 88 00:04:29.700 --> 00:04:31.710 presidential administration is already concerned about 89 00:04:31.710 --> 00:04:36.150 inflation. And now by virtue of businesses having gone under 90 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.480 those that remain, that that shortened supply has the 91 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.470 potential to have increased prices, that I think that other 92 00:04:43.470 --> 00:04:46.740 people will, you know, either react negatively, negatively to, 93 00:04:46.890 --> 00:04:50.160 or they won't be able to afford. Yeah. And so this particular 94 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.460 bill has taken that internet bill, but request has taken this 95 00:04:53.460 --> 00:04:55.950 into account like hey, this is not just about jobs or keeping 96 00:04:55.950 --> 00:04:58.860 things open anymore. We've got to worry about the price impact 97 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.200 tp consumers, especially there already already mad about 98 00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:03.660 inflation. Yeah, this is something that we had to do to 99 00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:05.460 try to keep the prices down. 100 00:05:05.510 --> 00:05:07.730 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. And I think it's true. I mean, I think 101 00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:10.460 in the beginning, obviously, you know, from when we first started 102 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:15.500 talking about this, the whole concept was to help these 103 00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:20.000 businesses get through this specific period of Coronavirus 104 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.690 or COVID-19 or, you know, we didn't, we didn't have all this 105 00:05:23.690 --> 00:05:26.900 that we have now in the picture. And now, like you said, between 106 00:05:26.900 --> 00:05:29.090 inflation, between getting priced out of your neighborhood 107 00:05:29.090 --> 00:05:31.880 community between trying to keep your business open, and then 108 00:05:31.910 --> 00:05:35.210 hopefully another, you know, variant doesn't come and things 109 00:05:35.210 --> 00:05:38.600 change. So there's a lot on the table right now, that a lot of 110 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.130 businesses and it was interesting, because I was 111 00:05:40.130 --> 00:05:45.920 walking in Manhattan, in my old neighborhood on Saturday. And 112 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.590 what I found interesting was a lot of businesses were shut 113 00:05:48.590 --> 00:05:52.610 down, places that I know that were there because I was like, 114 00:05:52.610 --> 00:05:56.210 wat, like, I would go there like every day or a couple of times 115 00:05:56.210 --> 00:05:59.120 during the week, they were gone. New businesses had just opened 116 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.360 and there were signs. I used to live in midtown Manhattan that 117 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.980 said, just opened, grand opening. And it's just changing. 118 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:10.580 And what I found interesting was its, it seemed like it was just 119 00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:13.850 in my specific neighborhood. It was just like a revolving door 120 00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:16.790 of businesses coming through opening closing and then opening 121 00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:19.550 again. Yeah. Whether it's new ones or old ones. But yeah, I 122 00:06:19.550 --> 00:06:20.870 mean, people are just trying to survive. 123 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:24.650 Sean Murray: Imagine that you have a community where there are 124 00:06:24.650 --> 00:06:28.910 essentially five wedding halls, venues that people use for 125 00:06:28.910 --> 00:06:33.350 weddings. And that three of them shuttered because of, you know, 126 00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:36.650 the Omicron, Omicron, however, you pronounce it variant, and 127 00:06:36.650 --> 00:06:39.650 you're down to two, right? And then everyone wants to have 128 00:06:39.650 --> 00:06:42.320 their wedding. Finally, you can have weddings again. Yeah, now 129 00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:46.580 you're down to two venues. And so what are the venue operators? 130 00:06:46.580 --> 00:06:48.260 What are they forced to do? They're forced to increase their 131 00:06:48.260 --> 00:06:52.040 price, because somebody's going to say, I know you're fully 132 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.850 booked. But I'll pay more. I'll pay double. That's where it 133 00:06:55.850 --> 00:07:00.800 comes. I'll pay double just to have my wedding. And so that 134 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.230 that's where that's how the price goes up. It's not because 135 00:07:03.230 --> 00:07:05.360 the venue operators are like, oh, well, we you know, there's 136 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.400 shortened surprise, so we'll just, you know, raise your 137 00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:09.980 prices. Yeah. It's because you start to have this that, you 138 00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:13.130 know, this bidding mentality when you have a short supply, 139 00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:16.250 that people start saying that they will pay more those that 140 00:07:16.250 --> 00:07:20.180 have the means and the financial resources to do so. And then the 141 00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:22.460 venue's say, well, how are we going to turn down those who are 142 00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:24.710 going to pay us more, right. And so that's what that's what 143 00:07:24.710 --> 00:07:28.310 drives up the price. And that's a perfect example of, I think 144 00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:30.560 what the administration or these members of Congress are thinking 145 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.490 about is that you had that type of activity happen, and that 146 00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:36.920 those who can't afford the higher prices are like, now I 147 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.130 can't even have my wedding. Now, I can't even afford it. Right. 148 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.200 Things like that could be a music call. But. Yeah. I like to 149 00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:43.250 use the wedding hall. 150 00:07:43.250 --> 00:07:45.410 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. Because I think that's, especially 151 00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:48.860 nowadays. Everyone's trying to literally catch up from 2020. 152 00:07:48.890 --> 00:07:50.300 Sean Murray: Yeah, everyone wants to go. Everyone wants to 153 00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:53.600 go out. Yeah. Especially cause we're heading into spring. Yeah. 154 00:07:53.690 --> 00:07:55.550 I mean, it's not quite spring yet, but it's right around the 155 00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:58.010 corner. Yeah. It felt that way. After Saturday. 156 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.620 Johny Fernandez: I know exactly. Saturday was Spring. And then 157 00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:02.030 Sunday, it snowed here. So. 158 00:08:02.330 --> 00:08:02.990 Sean Murray: That was weird. 159 00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:03.920 Johny Fernandez: That was very weird. 160 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.660 Sean Murray: Yeah people were out in shorts on Saturday. And 161 00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:07.640 then Sunday morning. There was two inches on the ground. 162 00:08:07.640 --> 00:08:10.130 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, it's but you know what else reminds me of 163 00:08:10.130 --> 00:08:11.060 springtime coming up? 164 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:11.630 Sean Murray: What? 165 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:12.470 Johny Fernandez: The Super Bowl. 166 00:08:12.530 --> 00:08:12.980 Sean Murray: Okay. 167 00:08:12.990 --> 00:08:15.750 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. All right, so. 168 00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:17.340 Sean Murray: That seemed like a very genuine laugh. 169 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.010 Johny Fernandez: My laughs are always genuine. 170 00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:21.870 Sean Murray: That seemed very forced. 171 00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:34.500 Johny Fernandez: All right. So yeah. All right. So the big, you 172 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.650 know, Super Bowl was yesterday, commercials left and right. 173 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:41.100 Obviously, that's always a thing. But what we saw this year 174 00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:44.550 that in previous year was not a thing was a lot of tech 175 00:08:44.550 --> 00:08:47.430 commercials. So I'm going to talk about one of them. This was 176 00:08:47.430 --> 00:08:52.200 a big one. That it pretty much. It was all over my feeds in the 177 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.830 morning. And when I saw it, I was like, oh, that's an 178 00:08:55.830 --> 00:08:59.460 interesting way to just take over the Superbowl like that 179 00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:00.570 commercial, specifically. 180 00:09:00.690 --> 00:09:01.380 Sean Murray: What commercial? 181 00:09:01.410 --> 00:09:03.030 Johny Fernandez: So it was Coinbase. 182 00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:03.480 Sean Murray: Okay. 183 00:09:03.810 --> 00:09:06.000 Johny Fernandez: They had a commercial and it was pretty 184 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.280 much a QR code. It was on the TV screen. And it was a black 185 00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:16.230 screen. And then the QR code was just like going around the TV 186 00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:19.440 screen. It reminded me of the game of pong, just like things 187 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.010 just going around. And it was a really interesting resemblance 188 00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:27.600 of the old school, a DVD logo that used to kind of do the same 189 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.230 thing, like, you know, back when you had DVDs. And that was it 190 00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:35.220 for 60 seconds, played some music. And then it was a QR code 191 00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:37.860 that was floating around the TV screen. So when you actually put 192 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:42.210 your phone and got the QR code, it was I don't want I don't want 193 00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:46.140 to get this wrong. So it was a it was Coinbase's website and 194 00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:50.760 their promotion was $15 worth of free bitcoin. And then there was 195 00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:54.240 a $3 million giveaway if you signed up that offers still 196 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.230 gonna be going on so tomorrow and that was it. Okay. Simple. 197 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:02.790 But you got it was so Popular crashed the app. So the app 198 00:10:02.790 --> 00:10:06.690 pretty much exploded. And this morning, like reading the 199 00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:10.410 different articles from different media sites, pretty 200 00:10:10.410 --> 00:10:14.730 much the concept was this commercial was so simple. It 201 00:10:14.730 --> 00:10:19.380 wasn't like extraordinary wild. So simple. And he made such a 202 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:24.000 crazy impact and retention. It was pretty much it blew everyone 203 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:24.360 out of the water. 204 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.160 Sean Murray: Let me let me ask you a question. Did you scan the 205 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:27.480 QR code off the TV? 206 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.160 Johny Fernandez: So I didn't because I was cooking in the 207 00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:29.580 kitchen. 208 00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:30.900 Sean Murray: You were cooking in the kitchen? 209 00:10:30.930 --> 00:10:32.550 Johny Fernandez: I was making sure the wings weren't being 210 00:10:32.550 --> 00:10:32.970 burned. 211 00:10:33.270 --> 00:10:36.210 Sean Murray: Okay, what about whoever you were, I guess, 212 00:10:36.810 --> 00:10:39.210 watching it with, did they scan the QR codes? 213 00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:41.580 Johny Fernandez: They we were all like, what is like everyone 214 00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:43.110 was like, what is what is it? Like, what is it? 215 00:10:43.170 --> 00:10:44.460 Sean Murray: Do you recognize it as a QR code? 216 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.940 Johny Fernandez: I did recognize it as a QR code. But we were 217 00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:49.880 trying to figure out like, oh, like, is something wrong like 218 00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:52.340 did something happen, but it was like, no, this is a commercial. 219 00:10:52.370 --> 00:10:54.560 Yeah. And and so it was like, that's the smartest thing ever. 220 00:10:54.650 --> 00:10:56.780 And then by the time like, we were like, trying to like 221 00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:59.780 discuss it. They moved on to the next commercial. But we all 222 00:10:59.780 --> 00:11:01.640 flipped out because we thought something was wrong. We're like, 223 00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:05.450 wait. Yeah. Like, did something just happen? And yeah. 224 00:11:05.540 --> 00:11:07.850 Sean Murray: It took me honestly, about 30 seconds. I 225 00:11:07.850 --> 00:11:11.930 had the same thought as you of, you know, what am I watching? 226 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.200 Because you know, you're not standing there. Staring at the 227 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.990 commercial. Yeah. You know, the game was off, and you kind of 228 00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:21.020 passively keep your eye out for the good ones. And it's the 229 00:11:21.020 --> 00:11:22.520 screen is black and there was something moving. And you're 230 00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:25.460 thinking a screensaver came on? Yeah. That type of yeah, this is 231 00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:28.310 what I that's what I tell them like the screensaver. And it 232 00:11:28.310 --> 00:11:30.290 wasn't until like about 30 seconds in when it dawned on me 233 00:11:30.290 --> 00:11:32.750 like I'm like, No, this is the commercial. Yeah. I'm watching 234 00:11:32.750 --> 00:11:37.850 the commercial. And it's a QR code. And I think that a QR code 235 00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:41.630 is only effective now as a marketing tool. Because during 236 00:11:41.630 --> 00:11:45.740 COVID, that was very popular for restaurant menus, where they 237 00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:47.690 weren't handing out menus, at least a lot of the restaurants I 238 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.750 went to where if you didn't use QR codes before you were forced 239 00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:53.180 to because the restaurant want to give you a menu. So you had 240 00:11:53.180 --> 00:11:56.450 to scan it to scan the QR code off the table top, whatever was 241 00:11:56.450 --> 00:11:59.210 there and access the menu itself. So even people who 242 00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:02.240 refuse to use them or didn't adopt them, or were introduced 243 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.480 to them, got that introduction to them, I think, during the 244 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.530 COVID restaurant experience, some form or fashion, about 30 245 00:12:09.530 --> 00:12:12.260 seconds in it dawned on me. And at that point, I thought, oh my 246 00:12:12.260 --> 00:12:14.810 goodness, it's too late to even scan it. That's probably why you 247 00:12:14.810 --> 00:12:18.020 did a full minute. Yeah. It was gonna take people a little bit 248 00:12:18.020 --> 00:12:18.200 of time. 249 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.040 Johny Fernandez: A little bit of time yeah. 250 00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:20.720 Sean Murray: To figure out what they were even looking at on the 251 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.470 screen. Yeah. And it was like, Oh, it's a QR code. Oh, okay. 252 00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:28.070 Quick, let me get my phone. Yeah. And scan it. And then he 253 00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:32.750 said it wants to know, what are the Coinbase offering. So yeah, 254 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:37.280 it's interesting that that was one of the you said one of the 255 00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:38.090 more popular. 256 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.510 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. It crashed the app. That's how 257 00:12:41.510 --> 00:12:45.320 popular it was, it crashed the app. And I think what blew my 258 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.240 mind out of the whole thing I get really excited about this. 259 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.270 Yeah. Is because I like to be different. I like to go to the 260 00:12:50.270 --> 00:12:53.150 beat of my own drum, as you probably know by now. But and 261 00:12:53.150 --> 00:12:56.570 these guys, it was just simple stuff. It wasn't like flashy and 262 00:12:56.570 --> 00:12:59.810 like, oh my gosh, like bam, bam, bam celebrities like nothing. 263 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.770 Yeah. It was just like, let's go old school. Let's go QR code. 264 00:13:03.830 --> 00:13:07.130 This is gonna look like the DVD logo of the menus of a DVD 265 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.540 console. And that's it. And it was successful. 266 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.970 Sean Murray: Yeah, I mean, I guess it works. I you know, I, 267 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.630 I've had a coin base account for almost eight years already. 268 00:13:17.750 --> 00:13:21.860 Okay. So that's one of the the kind of funny things about the 269 00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:24.590 whole thing is that people are like, oh, my goodness, Coinbase 270 00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:28.490 is here. Look at them coming out with this thing. But they've 271 00:13:28.490 --> 00:13:32.150 been around for like, 10 years. Yeah. At least. And I've had an 272 00:13:32.150 --> 00:13:34.700 account there for like, eight years. But, you know, I guess if 273 00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:37.790 it's a way to market themselves, effectively, everyone's talking 274 00:13:37.790 --> 00:13:38.330 about it. 275 00:13:38.330 --> 00:13:40.610 Johny Fernandez: Yeah everyone is talking about which. And 276 00:13:40.610 --> 00:13:42.800 there were there were other commercials that were a lot, you 277 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:45.470 know, that had like different celebrities. And it was like, Oh 278 00:13:45.470 --> 00:13:48.200 my gosh, like, that's great. But this one everyone's talking 279 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:49.790 about it. And I think what was interesting is that they're 280 00:13:49.790 --> 00:13:53.300 giving away free pretty much free money, like $15 worth of 281 00:13:53.300 --> 00:13:55.910 free bitcoin. And the reason they're doing that is because 282 00:13:55.940 --> 00:14:00.440 online, they said it's a it's a way for people to understand 283 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.850 what this is, and is by giving them you know, a little taste. 284 00:14:05.210 --> 00:14:08.780 They can check it out. And then that's it. And the $3 million 285 00:14:08.930 --> 00:14:11.480 giveaway, which is a nice plus. So. 286 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:12.830 Sean Murray: Yeah, for whoever wins it. 287 00:14:12.830 --> 00:14:15.230 Johny Fernandez: For whoever wins it yeah. So yeah, I think 288 00:14:15.230 --> 00:14:19.820 it was genius. And the other one that that was very popular. I'm 289 00:14:19.820 --> 00:14:23.060 pretty sure we talked about Rocket Mortgage last year. I 290 00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:26.750 feel like we talk about Rocket Mortgage last year. So this 291 00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:29.120 year's commercial was very interesting because it was 292 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:33.470 pretty much a, you saw it and it captured everyone's attention 293 00:14:33.470 --> 00:14:37.310 whether you're a kid, or whether you're an adult. So it was like 294 00:14:37.310 --> 00:14:41.360 a Barbie Playhouse type of theme. It was 60 minutes. And 295 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.740 obviously Rocket Mortgage. 296 00:14:43.010 --> 00:14:43.340 Sean Murray: 60 minutes? 297 00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:44.510 Johny Fernandez: I mean, sorry, 60 seconds. 298 00:14:44.510 --> 00:14:46.160 Sean Murray: A one hour long commercial. 299 00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:48.030 Johny Fernandez: A one hour long commercial. So 60 seconds and 300 00:14:48.030 --> 00:14:50.640 pretty much it was like a essentially it was a bidding 301 00:14:50.640 --> 00:14:54.000 war. So Barbie wants to buy this house. And then pretty much 302 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.890 there's a bidding war that comes out of it because everyone wants 303 00:14:55.890 --> 00:14:58.980 to buy it. But because she has Rocket Mortgage. She's like here 304 00:14:59.010 --> 00:15:02.040 I can get this house, and you know, I have everything ready, 305 00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:05.700 everything set to go. So she ends up bidding and winning and 306 00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:08.310 whatnot. And then the other contestants or the other people 307 00:15:08.310 --> 00:15:12.420 that were there bidding for that house, they go to this flipper 308 00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:16.950 upper, which is Castle Grayskull from the show, and then you have 309 00:15:16.950 --> 00:15:20.370 he-man there. And you have Ken and everyone starts bidding on 310 00:15:20.370 --> 00:15:24.330 that or on that fixer upper. And then Bobby's like, hey, because 311 00:15:24.330 --> 00:15:27.300 I had Rocket Mortgage, here's what I can do. You can do it 312 00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:30.960 too. Essentially is the gist of it. Yeah. So I think it was 313 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.860 funny because it just had a lot of popular characters. And like 314 00:15:34.890 --> 00:15:37.470 in the beginning, like, oh, this is a Barbie commercial. Like I 315 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:39.120 that's what I said. It's like a It's a Barbie commercial. I'm 316 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:44.040 like, wait a minute. This is a Rocket Mortgage commercial. And 317 00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:46.290 it was like, you know, they're all about like the technology 318 00:15:46.290 --> 00:15:49.500 making sure you have everything on your phone, and all that. And 319 00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.930 it was, and that was another popular one that all the other 320 00:15:51.930 --> 00:15:54.300 media outlets were saying. It caught everyone's attention. 321 00:15:54.630 --> 00:15:58.470 Sean Murray: Yeah, for me, I had like you mentioned, you went in 322 00:15:58.470 --> 00:16:01.320 thinking that it was a Barbie commercial. My brain worked on a 323 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.110 delay just like you. Yeah. Where I'm like, it's a Barbie 324 00:16:04.110 --> 00:16:07.050 commercial. And I was already kind of tuning out. Yeah. And I 325 00:16:07.050 --> 00:16:09.780 didn't really catch the fact that it was a Rocket Mortgage 326 00:16:09.780 --> 00:16:12.270 commercial and kind of until it was over. I get that they they 327 00:16:12.270 --> 00:16:14.910 put it in there pretty early. But my brain had a tough time 328 00:16:14.910 --> 00:16:18.420 digesting what was happening. Yea. Because you don't typically 329 00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:23.640 see Barbie, apply for a rock use Rocket Mortgage to get her dream 330 00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:26.040 house. Yeah. And so it wasn't until after it was over. I was 331 00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:30.630 like, I think I just watched a Rocket Mortgage commercial, you 332 00:16:30.630 --> 00:16:35.610 know what I mean? Like, my brain was like Barbie, Barbie, Barbie 333 00:16:35.610 --> 00:16:38.970 can Barbie Barbie. And then I was like, I think that was not 334 00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:40.170 actually a Barbie commercial. 335 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:43.530 Johny Fernandez: Well, and I think it also created the 336 00:16:43.530 --> 00:16:47.070 reality of like, especially nowadays, being an agent, real 337 00:16:47.070 --> 00:16:50.970 estate agent myself, you see a lot of these situations happen 338 00:16:50.970 --> 00:16:53.580 where people want to put in an offer in a house and everyone's 339 00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:55.980 like going after it. So you have to be quick, you have to be 340 00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:58.890 smart, you have to have a game plan, if you want to buy the 341 00:16:58.890 --> 00:17:02.070 house. Yeah. It's the reality of buying a house it is if you 342 00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:04.680 don't have a game plan, whether it's like Rocket Mortgage, or 343 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.080 whether it's, you know, some other you're working with an 344 00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:10.080 agent that has everything ready to go. You don't have your pre 345 00:17:10.080 --> 00:17:13.470 approval, etc. There's going to be a bidding war, there's going 346 00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:17.100 to be a bidding war that you know, five, six other people are 347 00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:19.980 going to be right behind you is also putting another bid on the 348 00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.620 house. That's something that the company also said that they want 349 00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:26.820 it to reflect the reality of what it is like to buy a house. 350 00:17:26.820 --> 00:17:28.350 Sean Murray: Yeah, you're gonna be competing with what was it 351 00:17:28.350 --> 00:17:28.950 cash only. 352 00:17:28.950 --> 00:17:33.450 Johny Fernandez: Cash only. They had a very clever name. 353 00:17:33.450 --> 00:17:35.430 Sean Murray: That commercial also had a QR code. 354 00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:36.030 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 355 00:17:36.060 --> 00:17:39.180 Sean Murray: In there. And I had scanned it. And I assumed it was 356 00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:41.580 going to take me to a Rocket Mortgage application. It 357 00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:45.240 doesn't. It takes you to like a shoe website where you can buy 358 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.230 like Air Jordans. 359 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.920 Johny Fernandez: Oh, I didn't know that. 360 00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:50.080 Sean Murray: I didn't know that either. I had to do it twice 361 00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:51.370 cause thought maybe I clicked on something. 362 00:17:51.370 --> 00:17:51.880 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. 363 00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:55.110 Sean Murray: But underneath the QR code it said Stock X and I 364 00:17:55.110 --> 00:17:58.200 said what is that? And I saw I scanned it and took me to like 365 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:01.710 a, like a website where you can enter into a competition to win, 366 00:18:01.950 --> 00:18:06.000 like shoes. And the website had like Air Jordans and all this, 367 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.560 like shoe apparel. I don't know. I was really lost. I just tried 368 00:18:10.560 --> 00:18:12.390 to read through it. I was trying to figure out what the 369 00:18:12.390 --> 00:18:16.350 connection was. It was like, congratulations. On seeing our 370 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:21.030 our thing at the big game. You need to enter by 10pm Eastern 371 00:18:21.030 --> 00:18:24.030 time. So that contest, I guess it had some sort of raffle that 372 00:18:24.030 --> 00:18:28.470 ended last night at 10pm Eastern time. And I was just kind of 373 00:18:28.470 --> 00:18:30.930 lost because I'm like I assume this was going to be about 374 00:18:30.930 --> 00:18:33.810 Rocket Mortgage. But I guess not. So I don't know if that was 375 00:18:33.810 --> 00:18:36.510 like a joint ad. Or maybe they didn't have money to have a QR 376 00:18:36.510 --> 00:18:39.180 code. Kind of like an Easter egg. Yeah. Hey, did you see that 377 00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:41.790 there was this? Yeah. Inside another commercial? Commercial 378 00:18:41.790 --> 00:18:45.210 inside a commercial. Yeah. Right. Yeah, it's like Barbie 379 00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:47.340 Rocket Mortgage, and also get your Air Jordans. 380 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.020 Johny Fernandez: There's a lot going on. 381 00:18:49.020 --> 00:18:50.430 Sean Murray: There there was a lot going on that's why I said 382 00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:53.910 when it was over, I was like, wouldn't do it. I think I just 383 00:18:53.910 --> 00:18:55.350 watched a Rocket Mortgage commercial. 384 00:18:57.630 --> 00:18:58.950 Johny Fernandez: Oh, man that is great. 385 00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:03.210 Sean Murray: You know, and we talk about all you know, tech 386 00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:07.830 and, and Bitcoin and all this stuff. But you have to also take 387 00:19:07.830 --> 00:19:10.080 into account the fact that they were playing inside SoFi 388 00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:10.740 stadium. 389 00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:13.710 Johny Fernandez: Yeah, I noticed that too last night I was like, 390 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.610 I don't know. I don't know why. But they have like, zoom out of 391 00:19:17.610 --> 00:19:22.170 the stadium. I'm like, wait a minute. Yeah. I'm like, wait a 392 00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:23.670 minute. 393 00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:26.700 Sean Murray: Yeah. And SoFi is a bank now. And there were a long 394 00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:30.240 time ago, a company that led with the motto of don't bank 395 00:19:30.510 --> 00:19:34.830 that was the original motto, don't bank or banks. Even banks 396 00:19:34.830 --> 00:19:35.850 don't want to be banks. 397 00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:37.140 Johny Fernandez: Yes, I remember that. 398 00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:39.190 Sean Murray: It was kind of like it was kind of like get deBanked 399 00:19:39.490 --> 00:19:42.460 so far has been running commercials in the Superbowl for 400 00:19:42.670 --> 00:19:46.810 a number of years. But now. Now the fact that they are already 401 00:19:46.810 --> 00:19:49.540 on the stadium itself really showed that they've arrived and 402 00:19:49.540 --> 00:19:52.510 they're also a bank so they've become like a corporate brand. 403 00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:55.990 But I thought that the this is kind of silly, but I thought 404 00:19:55.990 --> 00:20:01.030 that the coloring really made it look kind of like seductive like 405 00:20:01.030 --> 00:20:04.900 it didn't it didn't I didn't get the feel of it being like, you 406 00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:10.060 know, a bank branded stadium or bank branded game SoFi and the 407 00:20:10.060 --> 00:20:12.760 color scheme that was used throughout the game and you know 408 00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:16.420 the word they used around the logo itself it really it really 409 00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:18.940 brightened it up made it look fresh and young and innovative 410 00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:19.660 and stuff. So. 411 00:20:19.690 --> 00:20:21.220 Johny Fernandez: It was purple and blue. 412 00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.690 Sean Murray: Yeah, it was like purple and blue. Yeah, I thought 413 00:20:22.690 --> 00:20:24.610 those colors are really good. I'm a big fan of purple and 414 00:20:24.610 --> 00:20:26.050 blue. I love a good purple. 415 00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:27.370 Johny Fernandez: I like I always like blue. 416 00:20:27.370 --> 00:20:28.930 Sean Murray: You like blue? Okay. 417 00:20:28.930 --> 00:20:33.280 Johny Fernandez: Yeah. But, you know, what's interesting. I 418 00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:36.820 think how everything played out yesterday, including like those 419 00:20:36.820 --> 00:20:39.700 raffles, for example, like, you know, people entering into the 420 00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:42.160 raffles, you know, getting a whole bunch of money. Like I 421 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.370 think that's so clever. Like, this is a clever way to make 422 00:20:45.370 --> 00:20:48.490 everyone happy. And then the halftime show was great. So it 423 00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:51.580 was I enjoyed the Super Bowl yesterday. Good. You know what 424 00:20:51.580 --> 00:20:52.540 else I'm going to enjoy? 425 00:20:52.810 --> 00:20:53.770 Sean Murray: What are you going to enjoy? 426 00:20:53.860 --> 00:20:54.910 Johny Fernandez: I'm going to enjoy going to Florida. 427 00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:56.800 Sean Murray: Oh, you gotta you gotta do you gotta do a fake 428 00:20:56.800 --> 00:21:01.450 laugh again. What was that laugh you did before? You know what, 429 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.440 how about that Super Bowl? 430 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:10.210 Johny Fernandez: I'm also gonna enjoy. 431 00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:11.830 Sean Murray: Do you practice that laugh in front of the 432 00:21:11.830 --> 00:21:12.160 mirror? 433 00:21:14.110 --> 00:21:15.760 Johny Fernandez: Try to make sure I have my laugh on point. 434 00:21:17.410 --> 00:21:23.050 You know what else I'm going to enjoy? Going to Miami. Okay. You 435 00:21:23.050 --> 00:21:26.260 know who else is gonna join us in Miami?

TV. We've just 444 00:24:00.760 --> 00:24:03.400 returned from commercial and I'm here with another person. This 445 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.420 is not Johny. I'm here with Jesse. Yes. From deBanked from 446 00:24:07.420 --> 00:24:09.520 the deBanked events team if you've ever spoken with her on 447 00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:13.570 the phone or through email, she the real person that's me. And 448 00:24:13.570 --> 00:24:15.070 you might have met her at Broker Fair as well. 449 00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:17.290 Jesse Calhoun: Yes, I was the one at the registration desk. I 450 00:24:17.290 --> 00:24:19.810 was the one running around like crazy all day. So that was me. 451 00:24:19.990 --> 00:24:21.160 If you remember me from there. 452 00:24:21.550 --> 00:24:23.860 Sean Murray: Jessie, how long have you worked for deBanked? 453 00:24:23.860 --> 00:24:26.840 Jesse Calhoun: I've been here about seven months now. I'm just 454 00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:30.140 about to hit seven months. So it's been quite a journey since 455 00:24:30.590 --> 00:24:33.290 I've started. Yeah, very exciting that we would jump two 456 00:24:33.290 --> 00:24:36.320 feet in with Broker Fair and now we're transitioning right into 457 00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:39.110 Miami. So we're just it's been a crazy couple of months, but it's 458 00:24:39.110 --> 00:24:40.310 been so much fun so far. 459 00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:42.230 Sean Murray: What kind of event planning were you doing before 460 00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:42.380 deBanked 461 00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:45.260 Jesse Calhoun: before deBanked I was in weddings. So I was doing 462 00:24:45.260 --> 00:24:48.320 wedding planning. So as much as I joke about it being crazy 463 00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:51.470 here. This is nothing compared to doing weddings. You know, 464 00:24:51.470 --> 00:24:55.130 it's that's a whole different beast. So it was definitely 465 00:24:55.130 --> 00:24:58.490 quite a transition going from doing that to deBanked events. 466 00:24:58.490 --> 00:25:01.490 It was quite it was a little bit of an adjustment at first for me 467 00:25:01.490 --> 00:25:02.000 for sure. 468 00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:03.860 Sean Murray: Well, we're happy to have you be part of the team, 469 00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:04.550 you're doing great. 470 00:25:04.580 --> 00:25:07.490 Jesse Calhoun: I'm happy to be here. I'm enjoying it so far. 471 00:25:07.490 --> 00:25:08.420 It's been great. Yeah. 472 00:25:08.450 --> 00:25:11.840 Sean Murray: I'm glad. So Jessie is helping us out. Not just 473 00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:15.350 helping really, really, you know, playing an integral role 474 00:25:15.350 --> 00:25:18.410 and, and putting together the deBanked Connect Miami event on 475 00:25:18.410 --> 00:25:22.340 March 24. And now we're here to announce the winner. 476 00:25:22.370 --> 00:25:22.790 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. 477 00:25:22.820 --> 00:25:23.570 Sean Murray: Of a raffle. 478 00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:23.900 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. 479 00:25:23.930 --> 00:25:24.770 Sean Murray: The Valentine's Day raffle. 480 00:25:24.770 --> 00:25:26.060 Jesse Calhoun: Our Valentine's Day raffle. 481 00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:29.180 Sean Murray: And so how did the raffle work? What were the rules 482 00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:30.110 of this contest? 483 00:25:30.110 --> 00:25:32.510 Jesse Calhoun: So basically, all you had to do was follow us on 484 00:25:32.510 --> 00:25:36.020 social media, like the special Valentine's Day post and comment 485 00:25:36.020 --> 00:25:39.110 and tag a friend in it. So we were just trying to, you know, 486 00:25:39.110 --> 00:25:41.600 spread the word about the event and get as many people involved 487 00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:42.710 on social media as we could. 488 00:25:43.280 --> 00:25:45.680 Sean Murray: And this is a genuine raffle. I like to tell 489 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:47.330 people, this is a these are genuine raffles. 490 00:25:47.330 --> 00:25:50.060 Jesse Calhoun: Genuine raffles, which I was this morning typing 491 00:25:50.060 --> 00:25:52.670 up a Word document with all of the names, all the Instagram 492 00:25:52.670 --> 00:25:56.300 handles all the Facebook names. So it is as real as it gets with 493 00:25:56.300 --> 00:25:56.780 a raffle. 494 00:25:56.810 --> 00:25:59.030 Sean Murray: Yeah, we don't pick anyone, the same thing like we 495 00:25:59.030 --> 00:26:01.190 give we're giving free tickets to our friends. 496 00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:03.010 Jesse Calhoun: We don't pop a bunch of the same name in this 497 00:26:03.010 --> 00:26:05.380 column and just like pick it out, and like, oh, my goodness, 498 00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:08.290 this person, no. This is genuine. They're all different. 499 00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:08.830 So. 500 00:26:08.860 --> 00:26:12.070 Sean Murray: we have found that we'll meet people that have won 501 00:26:12.070 --> 00:26:15.580 for the first time ever at the event itself where people will 502 00:26:15.580 --> 00:26:17.620 come up to us and they'll say, hey, you know, I'm someone so I 503 00:26:17.620 --> 00:26:19.030 was the winner of the free ticket. 504 00:26:19.030 --> 00:26:21.670 Jesse Calhoun: Yeah. And we had that happen at Broker Fair. So I 505 00:26:21.670 --> 00:26:24.790 thought, I think it's really cool that we allow people the 506 00:26:24.790 --> 00:26:26.920 opportunity to come to the events where they might not have 507 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.700 gotten that before. 508 00:26:27.730 --> 00:26:29.740 Sean Murray: Especially if they end up not even watching the 509 00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:32.680 results. I think a lot of people don't enter into a raffle and 510 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.990 they'll feel so defeated, that they don't even watch the 511 00:26:34.990 --> 00:26:36.250 results. Like I'm not gonna win. 512 00:26:36.250 --> 00:26:38.560 Jesse Calhoun: There's no way Yeah, no, I remember a couple of 513 00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:41.470 the Broker Fair raffles when I was I would DM them on Instagram 514 00:26:41.470 --> 00:26:44.050 afterwards to be like, hey, you won there were like, oh, 515 00:26:44.050 --> 00:26:47.110 goodness, they get so excited. So it's pretty funny to see 516 00:26:47.110 --> 00:26:49.480 those reactions when they're just genuinely so surprised. But 517 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.160 it is a real raffle we do it real. 518 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.170 Sean Murray: Well I'm excited to do this. This is one of my 519 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:55.450 favorite things to do just giving away free tickets to our 520 00:26:55.450 --> 00:27:00.430 events. This does not include a hotel or a flight. Now it's just 521 00:27:00.430 --> 00:27:02.230 entry to the event. Okay. 522 00:27:02.260 --> 00:27:04.720 Jesse Calhoun: Yep, two free tickets for one person.

Yes, we are now going to announce the winner. 542 00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:52.530 Jesse Calhoun: Yes, we have our deBanked tv mug. 543 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:55.950 Sean Murray: Okay, so it's social media names. 544 00:27:56.490 --> 00:27:58.410 Jesse Calhoun: Most of these are Instagram handles. So you're 545 00:27:58.410 --> 00:27:59.880 gonna it's some of them are a little odd. 546 00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.240 Sean Murray: Okay. 547 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.990 But yeah. 548 00:28:01.230 --> 00:28:02.940 Is it just Instagram or is there anything else? 549 00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.380 Jesse Calhoun: No, no, no, we have Instagram, Facebook, 550 00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.670 LinkedIn and Twitter all in here. 551 00:28:05.670 --> 00:28:07.590 Sean Murray: Okay, so so there's a possibility. It could be a 552 00:28:07.590 --> 00:28:09.000 name or it could be a handle? 553 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.300 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. 554 00:28:09.330 --> 00:28:09.630 Sean Murray: Okay. 555 00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:10.500 Jesse Calhoun: Yep.

If I. 559 00:28:15.780 --> 00:28:20.040 Jesse Calhoun: If, anything, even an Instagram handle. Well, 560 00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:23.610 it'll be fine. If you don't understand the name, I'm going 561 00:28:23.610 --> 00:28:26.640 to be DMing them from the deBanked Connect account after 562 00:28:26.790 --> 00:28:29.370 the fact and letting them know that they won. So don't worry 563 00:28:29.370 --> 00:28:32.580 too much about pronunciation. Not a ton relies on it. But 564 00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:34.170 yeah, I'll be sending them a DM anyway. 565 00:28:34.260 --> 00:28:36.330 Sean Murray: Okay, so if you are the winner, you're gonna get a 566 00:28:36.330 --> 00:28:37.440 DM from Jesse. 567 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:37.860 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. 568 00:28:37.890 --> 00:28:39.270 Sean Murray: Even if you're not watching. 569 00:28:39.300 --> 00:28:39.720 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. 570 00:28:39.750 --> 00:28:40.980 Sean Murray: If you're the winner, you're the winner. 571 00:28:41.010 --> 00:28:42.210 Jesse Calhoun: You're the winner no matter what. 572 00:28:42.210 --> 00:28:43.410 Sean Murray: Yeah, you don't have to be tuned in. Right. 573 00:28:43.410 --> 00:28:45.540 Jesse Calhoun: Yes. Unless you of course, don't send me your 574 00:28:45.540 --> 00:28:48.600 email back in the DM. And then I have no way of giving you the 575 00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:52.260 tickets. So that would be a different scenario. But if you 576 00:28:52.260 --> 00:28:54.390 as long as you respond to my DM, you are the winner. You don't 577 00:28:54.390 --> 00:28:55.320 need to be watching right now. 578 00:28:55.650 --> 00:28:57.240 Sean Murray: Okay, so it's happening. 579 00:28:57.270 --> 00:28:58.590 Jesse Calhoun: It's happening right now.
