0:00 Now, in this ████ the divorce, the guy always gets ████ over. Yep. Yeah. >> Right? But That's very sexist to >> Cuz girls don't collect nothing. >> No. >> [laughter] >> They don't get excited about things like movie >> collect nothing valuable. >> Yeah, we get excited. We get excited >> can also be very wrong about what we're excited about, which happens, too. That is true. Girls don't collect a lot of stuff. You're right. >> us, bro. You're right. >> what I mean? Okay, boys, this is going to be a chicken or egg situation, right? So, we're going Yo, you want me to run that back? >> Yeah, run it back. I was just saying, why you bring up chicken immediately? >> Because you're here. Thanks. >> I I know you like that. >> He didn't say purple drank. >> Purple is my favorite thing. Damn. >> racist. >> See, I'd take chicken. I'll take that. >> I I like chicken, too. Yeah. >> I'm just saying what he didn't say. >> How many people like purple drank? Not me. Let's be honest.

0:50 >> Not really. You're not saying it for the culture. True. Sorry, drank. >> Artificial grape, not grape. Not Yeah, exactly. >> Okay, so this is a chicken egg situation. So, this guy says, "This is my old game collection before divorce. Thanos snapped his fingers." So, he's basically saying like No. I had all this and then I got a divorce with my wife. >> Well, she took half. Where she took half, yeah. >> She took his games. >> And she's And she's going to liquidate it at such lowball prices, it breaks my heart already. Ooh. >> all the classic >> Well, we don't know We don't know. What What if she's also a gamer like that? >> Nah. That's not That's not how That's usually not how divorce works. Yeah, yeah, right. >> way, these ████ like like one game, and it's called Animal Crossing, and that's it. >> [laughter] >> Or Or Harvest Moon. >> Pikmin. Pikmin. Yeah, Pikmin. Yeah, you know what I

1:40 mean? Something stupid. >> How would you even divide it? Yeah, they're not They're not into this. Would you have to liquidate all of it and they split it in the middle? >> by value, probably. >> Yeah. That's an insane collection. >> I mean, she really hated him. >> That's ████ GameStop. >> This is like He's a completionist. So, he's got all the colors of Nintendo 64s. If you can't see it, he's got all the controllers, he's got all the boxes with the games. He's got a box box Zelda. Ball into dedicate a room to this, right? >> Exactly. He's got all the Game Boys. >> Who has a room like that? All the colors. Uh-huh. This is a basement, brother. Or his bedroom's in the ████ kitchen. Like priorities, you know? >> That's the divorce. What he's saying he lost, you know, he lost this. >> that he has a room, though, is isn't it like that they must have had an okay marriage. See, that's what I'm saying. >> most guys don't have a room, period. I

2:30 think that he started the The whole house is the girl's. That's interesting, yeah. Or he started his collection and it got out of control and she's like, "It's me or the ████ games, Steven. It's me or the ████ games." And he's like, "I ████ pick the games." Like it's ████ like that, maybe. I guess it dep- it depends on how often he actually plays games cuz there are some collectors that hardly ever play. Poser. Yeah, cuz look at Yeah, this this s███'s untouched. >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah, why why would you just buy different color controllers? What would Is it isn't it like, "Oh, I'm going to play the yellow controller today for this game?" >> Well, yeah. It's a flex. It's a flex, yeah. Cuz it gets all your nerd friends hard. >> I got one of every color like that. Yeah, right. May- maybe he's not a gamer. Maybe he's just Yeah. a collector. A big time collector. Which maybe makes it worse. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Right? Is that actually worse? >> Yeah, it's actually Yeah. It's real mean. Cuz it's like, "Dude, you took half of my physical games while I still

3:21 play them digitally, b████." Like >> [laughter] >> Hey, at least it's organized. She's got to get like a interior decorator. Really nicely. It shouldn't be all out like this. What do you mean? Where should it be? In boxes? I just think like you need coverage on your stuff. Like glass? >> Oh, like cuz of the dust? Like if it's like if it's a store. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Coverage, like cover this stuff. >> out on collecting in a way that having it is the value, not it is the value. You know what I mean? >> Yeah, I get it. Yeah. I think he sees it like seeing it is the value. He wants to walk in and see that ████ >> I would love this because I'm out of sight, out of mind. I'm a world-class collector that forgets that I own anything. When do you collect? Uh that's what I'm saying. >> You don't That's how world-class he is. No what you collect. >> I I'll open it and then I go, "Oh ████ I have a collection of Pogs, dude." I have a collection of socks cuz I have s███████ of socks that are somewhere. >> And you forgot that you had >> World-class. World-class collector.

4:12 All right, since you're a guy who actually knows games, so you could probably assume like 15% minimum of the the greatness in here. You go through a divorce, you have to give her 50% of the games that you've collected. Let's say you have everything. What's like three games that you're like, "I'm not giving you this."? Oh, I just want to understand like conceptual value of something. Clay Fighter probably cuz Well, I think I I mean if it was me, I think anyone who really does if you're a serious collector, then I think there's also the nostalgic or the emotional connection. Like one of the things that I I would hate to sell or give away would be like if if I had a complete inbox Super Nintendo EarthBound. I would be really really bummed out cuz that's a that's a really rare thing to have everything cuz it used to come with a strategy guide, full-size like uh 8 by 11.5. Yeah, with scratches of pages. If you had that, that's not the most valuable thing, but I wouldn't want to give that up.

5:02 >> buying Bitcoin in ████ 2011. >> Cuz the cool thing is if they have to split in half, you could just give her >> very valuable. He's saying that's not the most valuable. >> No, no, he's saying if you have an EarthBound intact inbox with the guide, you're Gucci. >> Yeah. He's saying it's not the most No, it's not number one, but it's but it's number one because I love that game. >> not the emotional connection. Yeah, but also the the cool part is that let's say he he had to split that in half, you just split it quantity on her side, quality on yours. >> That's what I would do cuz I'm like ████ ████ don't know what s███'s worth. >> Yeah, yeah, they don't. Yeah, take that one. Take that one. Yeah. >> Yeah, unless you've been telling her and >> Except she's been living with you and she's like, "I want the ones that you put the extra lighting on." >> know. Wait, does she get to choose? Like [laughter] like like like this ████ Like she's like when she's like if she's petty. Hey, how come you put these ones in a temperature controlled room? I want that one. So for example >> Yeah, yeah, I mean Real life example, I

5:52 have a collection of guns, right? >> Yeah. She's not going to know which ones are worth whatever. I'll just go one for you, one for me, one for you, one for you. >> No, no, then she's like she's like, you've been slaving away wiping this one every ████ night on Tuesday nights for like But the judge is going to make you have to appraise everything and then you have to like divide it that way. Yeah, so what I would do to be a ████ to be a sneaky guy, I would just water grade all of the sealed boxes I have of the s█████ stuff and then water over over appraises or stuff anyway. You know when you get them sealed in the glass case and has a has a number on it? I would just do that with all the ████ I don't care about and then not water appraise all the stuff I do want. >> Yeah, I'd be like I'd be like Clay Fighter 64, nah, you can have this one new in box, who cares? Yeah, exactly. Because it's in box and it's Think of it Think of this, let's say you had baseball cards. If you had to split them in half, all you have to do is get all the ones you don't want graded and

6:43 they're automatically worth a little bit more, right? Because they're they have a score. You do have to pay a lot to grade ████ though. Yeah, I know. >> Sometimes it's like 500 bucks a ████ card. >> But for Omicron, Omicron's that's nothing, it's a long long plan. It depends on the value of the grade cuz there's quality of grading as well. >> Okay. >> So you can pay like it's like grading Pokémon cards. >> Yeah. Like you go to a pre-grader before you send them into grade and that pre-grader >> Pre-grader? Yeah, that pre-grader Get legit. Because it costs so much to grade, I think you shouldn't grade these ones, you should probably just grade these ones. >> corners, he's like, nah, and you're like, what this looks mint and he's like, yeah, that's why you're a ████ and you're paying me. >> [laughter] >> That could that could save you a fortune. That's fair. Yeah, if it comes to games You could save your ass if it comes to games because for some weird reason there's like a huge scam right now where like the water graded games are basically looked at as like market manipulated. So you'll see Mario Brothers 3 for like tens of thousands of

7:33 dollars when clearly it's not worth that. But then they're doing this ████ Sotheby's ████ fugazi where they're trying to like get people from outside gaming to start collecting. >> From Russia and ████ to be like, "Oh, I'll pay that." >> Yeah, you could get away with like giving You can give her ████ Yeah. Because you just have to site those sold to be things to be like, "Oh, look, Mario 3 went for 100,000." Yeah, exactly. >> that though, the lawyers go, "All right, so it's going to be like team sports where you guys get one choice after the other. So, you get to pick one and they get to pick one." >> Oh, ████ So, the only way you got is your facial reaction, right? So, then when she's about to grab one, YOU GO, "NO!" BECAUSE YOU WANT HER TO HAVE IT. I think And then she picks that one. >> just buy I would just buy cheap doubles of everything then. Dude, you can buy some dummies, too. >> Yeah, you can just get some cheap And plus like I guess that's how you get away with that. Cuz you if you if you were you're looking at old old hardware.

8:23 So, you if you just replace a sticker on a cartridge, how would she know? What you have done, you put the room on an N64 game. >> this? What if I go How about this? You don't take none of my ████ I won't take none of your stupid ████ necklaces. You keep Cuz then you have to 50/50 everything, right? >> is worth a s███████ of ████ >> you bought all her necklaces, dumbass. You made the mistake the whole time you're collecting this to be like, "And this is worth this much, babe." And then that's [laughter] what AND THE WHOLE TIME SHE'S LIKE, "I DON'T GIVE A ████ ████ YOU. ████ YOU, KEVIN. STOP TALKING TO ME." AND you're like, "Okay." Yeah. >> [laughter] >> But then eventually she remembers all that ████ and she uses it against you. >> Yeah. What about the pots? She knows how much pots are worth. Yeah, pots are a lot. She keeps her pots, I keep my guns then. >> He He exposed too much is what he He ████ up. >> He ████ up. Unless she has a ████ basement for her pots, it's not the [laughter] same, dude. It's the same. Dude, by the way, she's like you can She's like, "You can keep your s█████ little leather couches. They ████ suck." >> [laughter] >> She had to keep the couch. They have ████ hate leather couches.

9:13 >> people love the couches. Keep the lighting, I'll take the games. >> Yeah. Why do they hate leather couches? Prenups work if that was accumulated post marriage. So, you build your collection post marriage. >> How strong is a prenup? Without a prenup, anything post marriage it's still her property. Yeah. It's hers, too. Yeah. So, a prenup will still ████ you over. Dude, in California It only applies to the things that you have before the marriage, not after the marriage. California? In California they can come after you from ████ that you were 8 years old. But I think it's But I think it's like a Roth IRA though. If you sign a pre-nup on like let's say a business that you built and then your business explodes, then it's like anything that I was after the after the pre-nup because it was already signed in the pre-nup that like this is your thing. Even if that grows in value, that's still your thing. >> Wasn't there a soccer player that he had all his money in his mom's name?

10:03 Yeah. No, you're talking about Israel Adesanya, right? But he got a divorce. And then he was Gucci because of that. Yeah, because all cuz all the money was not his, yeah. That makes sense. Ooh. Was that not Adesanya as well? No, that was something with ex-girlfriend. She was trying to get money. >> Don't let me put all my guns in my mom's name. Yep. There you go. Smart. And then what Don't let your mom marry anybody. >> [laughter] >> If she gets married with someone and they HAVE A DIVORCE, OH, WHAT THE ████ WHAT THE ████ ARE MY GUNS? YOUR STEPDAD GETS YOUR GUNS. [laughter] But isn't it kind of crazy you got to think about this ████ before getting married to someone that you're like I'm going to spend the rest of my life with? Yeah. And then you're like Yeah. Or Or they have to think about it. >> [laughter] >> Are you going to get a pre-nup? No. You

10:53 going to get a post-nup? A post-nup? >> Post-nup. Yeah, I don't know. That's a thing. I'm not doing any of that. >> I think so. If I ████ up my marriage, I deserve to lose half. >> [laughter] >> Pre-nups are like are like high-class games. It's like peasants have nothing to ████ share. Yeah, that's true. Like real ballers got like Like if you own a building and ████ yeah, of course. >> It's to me if you come from a rich family and you're going to get an inheritance that you're like I don't want this ████ that's not a part of my family to ████ things up for my kid that I worked so hard for. Yeah, that makes sense. We had a conversation about it only because with like Kinjaz for example, I'm in business with other people. So if something were to happen and I were to lose like half of my stake of something that is in partnership now with other people. Then we had to have a conversation about we didn't end up signing a pre-nup because I'm an idiot. >> You think ████ people that have a regular job have has

11:45 five businesses to like worry about? I got five partnerships, I'm a part of three non-profits, I got 10 homes and ████ >> Yeah. I'm a baller. Do you wish you got a pre-nup now? Yes. So okay, so it seems to be >> [laughter] >> that in this ████ the divorce, the guy always gets ████ over. Yep. >> Yeah. Right? >> But that's very sexist. >> don't collect nothing. >> No. >> [laughter] >> They don't get excited about things like we get excited. >> collect nothing valuable. Yeah, we get excited. We get excited. >> can also be very wrong about what we're excited about, which happens, too. That is true. Girls don't collect a lot of stuff. You're right. >> us, bro. You know what I mean? They don't get as excited. Yeah, the girls that do collect, they're all artistic as ████ >> And they don't ever get married. And there's yeah, they're solo, bro. >> And it's always weird things like beads or shells and it's never anything worth anything. I'm like, here's my Steven Seagal collection I want to share with you. And then they're like, that's lame. I don't want to ever see this again. You're like, okay.

12:36 >> [laughter] >> Steven Seagal collection. I do have a Steven Seagal collection. It's bigger than your dick. >> All those Really? Yeah. All those movies? It goes like I can sell that. He also collects He also collects black nutcrackers. [laughter] I do. I do. No, my father-in-law got it for me. Really? He said I needed more representation. >> uh Yeah. So he's got like a hundred nutcrackers and then he's got like two black ones and he's like most proud of those. >> It's but I don't black Santa is not real. But he is a nutcracker. No, he He goes by a different name. Come on, come on. Is this all cuz I showed up late? >> [laughter] >> You don't have to You don't have to say he's real. We cut. WE CUT. WE CUT. We cut. We cut.
