The One At Galaxy Of Games w/ Drew Kimbal

1
00:00:06,254 --> 00:00:10,934
Trumpets have sounded and the end is nigh,
but have no fear, your prophet is here.

2
00:00:10,934 --> 00:00:15,434
I'm the Fresh King Benjamin, host of
Vibing the Apocalypse, a podcast that uses

3
00:00:15,434 --> 00:00:18,714
comedy to bring injustices that I went
through to light.

4
00:00:18,714 --> 00:00:21,754
I'm an escapee from a Mormon polygamist
compound in Wyoming.

5
00:00:21,754 --> 00:00:24,934
I was taught that the world was a wicked,
wicked place.

6
00:00:24,934 --> 00:00:28,784
But now that I've escaped, I want you to
show me all the wicked things and help me

7
00:00:28,784 --> 00:00:30,794
catch up on what I missed out on.

8
00:00:30,794 --> 00:00:34,374
Check out Vibing the Apocalypse right here

this one.

17
00:00:55,726 --> 00:00:57,166
I already am.

18
00:00:57,166 --> 00:00:59,266
So excited about this next guest.

19
00:00:59,266 --> 00:00:59,766
You know what?

20
00:00:59,766 --> 00:01:03,036
I'm excited about this week because right
here on Ride the Wave Media, guess what

21
00:01:03,036 --> 00:01:03,586
happens?

22
00:01:03,586 --> 00:01:05,226
Game related.

23
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:08,446
My video game podcast is dropping this
week.

24
00:01:08,446 --> 00:01:09,998
Oh, this is...

25
00:01:09,998 --> 00:01:11,378
Perfect.

26
00:01:11,378 --> 00:01:15,288
So our guest today really ties into that.

27
00:01:15,288 --> 00:01:19,258
But before we get to that, they break
business community.

28
00:01:19,258 --> 00:01:20,378
We've been doing some stuff.

29
00:01:20,378 --> 00:01:21,128
What's going on?

30
00:01:21,128 --> 00:01:23,358
We got some new announcements, right?

31
00:01:23,358 --> 00:01:26,068
Oh, Blaine, I have got so many
announcements.

32
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:27,438
Like, where do I even begin?

33
00:01:27,438 --> 00:01:28,558
How about this?

34
00:01:28,558 --> 00:01:29,008
All right.

35
00:01:29,008 --> 00:01:30,898
Super exciting news.

36
00:01:30,978 --> 00:01:35,218
We are having our first ever workshop.

They need help.

41
00:01:44,874 --> 00:01:49,814
Small businesses need help getting their
branding out there to grow.

00:02:57,774 --> 00:03:03,014
Make sure you stick around though, cause
we got some exciting news for you Daybreak

69
00:03:03,014 --> 00:03:04,474
Farmers Market people.

70
00:03:04,474 --> 00:03:07,564
I'm not saying that jokingly, cause
there's a lot of people who are ecstatic

71
00:03:07,564 --> 00:03:10,554
about this upcoming season for the farmers
market.

72
00:03:10,554 --> 00:03:14,754
And if you've been to one of our farmers
markets, you know they are amazing.

73
00:03:14,754 --> 00:03:18,144
So we've got a little insider scoop at the
end of our show.

74
00:03:18,144 --> 00:03:19,794
Be sure to tune in, listen to that.

75
00:03:19,794 --> 00:03:20,354
That's right.

76
00:03:20,354 --> 00:03:22,994
Stick around, but let's go to Galaxy of
Games.

77
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:25,174
Bex, I'm in heaven.

78
00:03:25,254 --> 00:03:26,414
You're Like I'm in heaven.

79
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,204
You're in your element today.

80
00:03:28,204 --> 00:03:32,564
We are sitting here with Drew at Galaxy of
Games.

81
00:03:32,564 --> 00:03:35,964
Games, games, games, like video games,
board games.

82
00:03:35,964 --> 00:03:37,374
There's all kinds of games around here.

83
00:03:37,374 --> 00:03:38,554
Surrounded by it all.

84
00:03:38,554 --> 00:03:43,994
We got Atari, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo,
you name it, Sega.

85
00:03:44,574 --> 00:03:47,474
The only thing I see here that could run
me out of here is that Jar Jar Binks sent

86
00:03:47,474 --> 00:03:48,294
you out there.

87
00:03:48,294 --> 00:03:48,704
What?

88
00:03:48,704 --> 00:03:49,974
Under the net.

89
00:03:50,074 --> 00:03:51,894
You're getting called out here already,
Drew.

90
00:03:51,894 --> 00:03:53,774
That's the Jeff's mascot.

91
00:03:53,774 --> 00:03:55,194
Oh my gosh.

92
00:03:55,834 --> 00:03:56,526
Drew.

93
00:03:56,526 --> 00:03:58,106
You've got something crazy here, man.

94
00:03:58,106 --> 00:03:59,806
What are we sitting in?

95
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:01,166
We sell fun.

96
00:04:01,166 --> 00:04:03,846
And Galaxy of Games has something for
everyone.

97
00:04:03,846 --> 00:04:07,716
So I like to think of it as how do you
spend your time having fun in the side of

98
00:04:07,716 --> 00:04:08,046
the house?

99
00:04:08,046 --> 00:04:09,266
Who do game with?

100
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:09,866
Yeah.

101
00:04:09,866 --> 00:04:14,486
Everyone has a story, a nostalgic story of
at Grandma's house, we play Uno.

102
00:04:14,486 --> 00:04:15,466
We play Risk.

103
00:04:15,466 --> 00:04:16,366
We play Catan.

104
00:04:16,366 --> 00:04:16,886
Oh, yeah.

105
00:04:16,886 --> 00:04:18,166
So we sell all that stuff.

106
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:21,906
I grew up in the era of the side -scroller
video games.

107
00:04:21,906 --> 00:04:22,376
Oh, yes.

108
00:04:22,376 --> 00:04:23,326
85.

109
00:04:23,326 --> 00:04:23,736
85.

110
00:04:23,736 --> 00:04:24,076
Nintendo.

111
00:04:24,076 --> 00:04:25,666
Nintendo came out.

112
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:26,190
Yes.

113
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:29,250
My friend up the street had one and I
played it all the time.

114
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:30,170
That's kind of how it was.

115
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:35,540
If you think about the price of a Nintendo
back then, in today's money, that's 700,

116
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:36,080
800 bucks.

117
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,560
I know, I couldn't afford it back then.

118
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,880
My parents couldn't afford it.

119
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,270
I can barely afford that now.

120
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:43,350
I know, but everybody that played one, it
was their friends.

121
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:45,280
We all had that friend, right?

122
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:46,550
The community.

123
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:49,678
I was the littlest of eight kids and my
mom wasn't about to...

124
00:04:49,678 --> 00:04:54,228
cave in and get a nintendo and i think it
from a parent standpoint had mixed reviews

125
00:04:54,228 --> 00:04:57,638
is a good for your health it it it rots
your brain and it's your brain to this day

126
00:04:57,638 --> 00:05:02,148
people still think the games rots your
brain out what did it at later that i am a

127
00:05:02,148 --> 00:05:06,558
advocate for gaming geniuses play video
games i've seen people i've worked in

128
00:05:06,558 --> 00:05:09,958
video games of of of credited onto games
and i'm uh...

129
00:05:09,958 --> 00:05:13,550
metal bar i worked on a little barter of
those guys are working called it

130
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:14,710
So and I work with medicine.

131
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:16,520
So maybe I should be interviewing you
Blaine.

132
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,990
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, because I'm
not the most interesting thing here.

133
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:23,220
Actually, the most interesting thing here
is sorry Drew, it's not you, it's not me,

134
00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:24,580
it's not you, Bex, but it's the store.

135
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:25,250
It's the store.

136
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:27,720
You walk in here and I turn into a little
kid again.

137
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,580
Yeah, that's the life of it.

138
00:05:28,580 --> 00:05:30,430
I turn into a little kid with money in my
pocket, though.

139
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:31,210
That's dangerous.

140
00:05:31,210 --> 00:05:31,918
Forget that.

141
00:05:31,918 --> 00:05:33,568
I told Bex, I'm gonna go broke in here.

142
00:05:33,568 --> 00:05:34,158
Don't worry, worry.

143
00:05:34,158 --> 00:05:37,318
Your wife told me, take the wallet before
I let you walk in here.

144
00:05:37,318 --> 00:05:37,798
So we're good.

145
00:05:37,798 --> 00:05:39,058
Where's the fun in that?

146
00:05:39,058 --> 00:05:41,448
So you said you started in, what, 85
playing games.

147
00:05:41,448 --> 00:05:42,578
Was Nintendo your first?

148
00:05:42,578 --> 00:05:45,638
I was born in 84, so let's just put things
into perspective.

149
00:05:45,638 --> 00:05:52,118
I probably played 89 in 1990 when I
discovered Nintendo.

150
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:58,158
I think my parents bought me a Super
Nintendo the Christmas of 92 or 93.

151
00:05:58,158 --> 00:06:00,198
And it was like...

152
00:06:00,398 --> 00:06:02,698
And we got a Sega Genesis around that same
time.

153
00:06:02,698 --> 00:06:03,658
Yeah.

154
00:06:03,658 --> 00:06:04,698
I think, yeah.

155
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:05,838
Something like that.

156
00:06:06,498 --> 00:06:08,058
That's when the gaming world doubled.

157
00:06:08,058 --> 00:06:10,818
They went to 16 -bit graphics instead of
the 8 -bit.

158
00:06:10,818 --> 00:06:11,698
Yep.

159
00:06:11,698 --> 00:06:14,098
I can't believe how far we've come now.

160
00:06:14,498 --> 00:06:15,898
Super Nintendo is my favorite console.

161
00:06:15,898 --> 00:06:17,318
It still holds up today.

162
00:06:17,318 --> 00:06:18,618
It has a lot of good titles.

163
00:06:18,618 --> 00:06:19,558
I was going to ask you that.

164
00:06:19,558 --> 00:06:20,658
I was going to ask what's your favorite
console.

165
00:06:20,658 --> 00:06:22,258
Then what's your favorite title?

166
00:06:22,258 --> 00:06:23,078
Ooh.

167
00:06:23,078 --> 00:06:24,398
Can I put five out there?

168
00:06:24,398 --> 00:06:25,670
Dude, give me five.

169
00:06:25,768 --> 00:06:27,278
Nine is specific order.

170
00:06:27,278 --> 00:06:28,358
What's the top five?

171
00:06:28,358 --> 00:06:31,098
No particular order earthbound Street
Fighter 2.

172
00:06:31,098 --> 00:06:35,678
Oh, yeah Mario RPG is definitely up there.

173
00:06:35,678 --> 00:06:36,048
Oh, yeah.

174
00:06:36,048 --> 00:06:37,898
What else the remake just came out?

175
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:42,998
It's Yeah, yeah, yeah Mario Kart gotta be
in there right come on Mario carts in

176
00:06:42,998 --> 00:06:47,628

177
00:06:47,628 --> 00:06:47,978
time.

178
00:06:47,978 --> 00:06:52,118
Oh Castlevania for okay anything Capcom
economy is great.

179
00:06:52,118 --> 00:06:52,622
Oh

180
00:06:52,622 --> 00:06:54,442
Are you still a big Capcom fan now?

181
00:06:54,442 --> 00:06:56,142
Oh, yeah, Resident Evil is an aunt.

182
00:06:56,142 --> 00:06:58,062
Oh, yeah They can't go wrong with
resident.

183
00:06:58,062 --> 00:06:59,722
No, the last one was really good.

184
00:06:59,722 --> 00:07:02,842
That sounds great Eight was it eight
village.

185
00:07:02,842 --> 00:07:04,742
I've been playing resident evil for a
remake.

186
00:07:04,742 --> 00:07:07,282
Yes That's nostalgic for me.

187
00:07:07,282 --> 00:07:10,262
We just passed our game awards back in
December.

188
00:07:10,262 --> 00:07:11,802
Did you see the game of the year?

189
00:07:11,802 --> 00:07:15,482
I did not I'm not that deep into it
Baldur's Gate 3 1 game of the year.

190
00:07:15,482 --> 00:07:15,962
Oh really?

191
00:07:15,962 --> 00:07:19,902
Okay, and This was probably the toughest
game of the year ever because you got you

192
00:07:19,902 --> 00:07:20,682
had sales.

193
00:07:20,682 --> 00:07:21,294
Oh, yeah

194
00:07:21,294 --> 00:07:23,614
You had a Mario, new Mario game, Wonder.

195
00:07:23,614 --> 00:07:27,414
Anytime you got Nintendo Beast in there,
they're gonna win.

196
00:07:27,414 --> 00:07:30,654
But they didn't this year, so it was
interesting though, because Resident Evil,

197
00:07:30,654 --> 00:07:33,234
the remake was in there as well, from
Capcom.

198
00:07:33,234 --> 00:07:38,024
Yeah, I played Call of Duty Modern Warfare
through with my son on the Xbox, but I

199
00:07:38,024 --> 00:07:40,014
have 20 games, this is sad.

200
00:07:40,014 --> 00:07:44,134
I have 20 games for the PlayStation 5 that
are just, I can't, I haven't had time to

201
00:07:44,134 --> 00:07:44,384
get to.

202
00:07:44,384 --> 00:07:44,994
It's the backlog.

203
00:07:44,994 --> 00:07:48,462
Hey, true gamers have a backlog that
they'll never finish.

204
00:07:48,462 --> 00:07:51,062
Yeah, I just have like all these things I
intend to get to.

205
00:07:51,062 --> 00:07:52,112
Yeah, same here.

206
00:07:52,112 --> 00:07:53,332
I still got games that are sealed.

207
00:07:53,332 --> 00:07:56,002
I still buy them and collect them,
whatever.

208
00:07:56,282 --> 00:07:59,362
But this business is not good for that.

209
00:07:59,442 --> 00:08:03,282
Your hobby as a business is not good for
your addiction.

210
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:04,822
It's like a drug dealer.

211
00:08:04,822 --> 00:08:06,342
Don't get high on your own supply, right?

212
00:08:06,342 --> 00:08:07,362
That's what we say.

213
00:08:07,362 --> 00:08:07,642
Hey.

214
00:08:07,642 --> 00:08:08,792
So I just have to throw that out there.

215
00:08:08,792 --> 00:08:09,952
Not that I know any drug dealers.

216
00:08:09,952 --> 00:08:11,422
Not that I know any.

217
00:08:11,642 --> 00:08:14,342
But it would totally be you to use that
line.

218
00:08:14,722 --> 00:08:14,932
Right.

219
00:08:14,932 --> 00:08:16,322
I'll use that all the time.

220
00:08:16,322 --> 00:08:18,414
I mentioned I still had sealed.

221
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,054
boxes at home.

222
00:08:20,594 --> 00:08:22,154
That's just my own personal stuff.

223
00:08:22,154 --> 00:08:23,554
You've got sealed boxes here.

224
00:08:23,554 --> 00:08:24,594
I'm talking about PS5 games.

225
00:08:24,594 --> 00:08:28,054
You've got sealed boxes of Nintendo 64
games and stuff here.

226
00:08:28,054 --> 00:08:29,894
Original boxes, maybe not sealed.

227
00:08:29,894 --> 00:08:30,834
That's insane.

228
00:08:30,834 --> 00:08:32,274
Those are 30 years old.

229
00:08:32,274 --> 00:08:34,834
Yeah, we have some complete in -box stuff,
graded stuff.

230
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:38,054
We're always buying used collections,
trading them as well.

231
00:08:38,054 --> 00:08:43,494
My business partner and I, sometimes we
travel and go to game stores and pick up.

232
00:08:43,693 --> 00:08:44,894
rare things if we can find them.

233
00:08:44,894 --> 00:08:46,034
We game hunt all the time.

234
00:08:46,034 --> 00:08:49,354
It's getting harder and harder to do it,
you know?

235
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:50,874
How long have you been here?

236
00:08:50,874 --> 00:08:52,194
How long have you been in business here?

237
00:08:52,194 --> 00:08:56,784
Yeah, so we started August of, man, it's
been about 18 months.

238
00:08:56,784 --> 00:08:57,934
So what is that?

239
00:08:57,934 --> 00:08:59,694
2021?

240
00:09:00,094 --> 00:09:01,014
Yeah.

241
00:09:01,234 --> 00:09:03,194
And do you just have the one location?

242
00:09:03,194 --> 00:09:03,694
We do.

243
00:09:03,694 --> 00:09:08,404
We have plans to build a permanent
location in Harriman, 5 ,600 West.

244
00:09:08,404 --> 00:09:11,614
And that'll be twice the size, 6 ,000
square feet -ish.

245
00:09:11,614 --> 00:09:12,326
Yeah.

246
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:13,484
We're really excited about that.

247
00:09:13,484 --> 00:09:15,354
We've product to fill those shelves, Dave.

248
00:09:15,354 --> 00:09:19,534
Yeah, and the gaming community that comes
out, they play and compete and trade.

249
00:09:19,534 --> 00:09:24,074
So it'll just give people more room to
interact with people.

250
00:09:24,074 --> 00:09:27,154
And then for us, it'll be nice to grow.

251
00:09:27,154 --> 00:09:29,334
And that'll be another Galaxy of Games
location.

252
00:09:29,334 --> 00:09:30,364
That'll be Galaxy of Games.

253
00:09:30,364 --> 00:09:31,022
That'll be.

254
00:09:31,022 --> 00:09:32,192
The one and only, we'll move here.

255
00:09:32,192 --> 00:09:33,022
The one and only.

256
00:09:33,022 --> 00:09:36,082
Yeah, they're gonna expand and make it
bigger to that one location.

257
00:09:36,082 --> 00:09:39,932
So tell me, I do see all these tables here
and you mentioned that you've got gamers

258
00:09:39,932 --> 00:09:40,322
coming in.

259
00:09:40,322 --> 00:09:42,122
Tell me about this, because I am not a
gamer.

260
00:09:42,122 --> 00:09:43,622
This is like not my world.

261
00:09:43,622 --> 00:09:44,942
What am I looking at in here?

262
00:09:44,942 --> 00:09:49,932
80 % of the sales of this store are from
two product lines, Magic the Gathering and

263
00:09:49,932 --> 00:09:50,462
Pokemon.

264
00:09:50,462 --> 00:09:50,962
Okay.

265
00:09:50,962 --> 00:09:54,752
So those are the most popular card
collectible card games in the world.

266
00:09:54,752 --> 00:09:57,562
And they just have a massive following.

267
00:09:57,562 --> 00:10:00,782
People collect, they trade, they play, and
so these mats just...

268
00:10:00,782 --> 00:10:03,322
give you a way to set up your decks and
play.

269
00:10:03,322 --> 00:10:09,142
And the artist of these mats are
resembling of some of the art in the

270
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:09,622
cards.

271
00:10:09,622 --> 00:10:11,482
What's the most people you've had in here
at one time?

272
00:10:11,482 --> 00:10:14,602
These tables are full almost daily.

273
00:10:14,602 --> 00:10:16,222
Because Magic's something that I grew up
with.

274
00:10:16,222 --> 00:10:17,032
We grew up with.

275
00:10:17,032 --> 00:10:19,682
This has been around, and it's not going
anywhere.

276
00:10:19,682 --> 00:10:23,482
Yeah, it's still just continues to grow
legs and grab new followers.

277
00:10:23,482 --> 00:10:27,122
But it's a fun card game.

278
00:10:27,122 --> 00:10:27,406
It's.

279
00:10:27,406 --> 00:10:31,626
Not for everyone, but for me, it's fun to
watch people having fun, interacting.

280
00:10:31,626 --> 00:10:34,206
Now, do you set up the times for these
events?

281
00:10:34,206 --> 00:10:37,246
Yeah, we have draft and booster.

282
00:10:37,246 --> 00:10:39,976
We have draft nights and commander format.

283
00:10:39,976 --> 00:10:42,766
We have those daily or weekly.

284
00:10:42,766 --> 00:10:44,306
And players will know what that is.

285
00:10:44,306 --> 00:10:45,086
Yeah.

286
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:47,546
She's over there thinking, I don't know
what that is.

287
00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:51,846
Yeah, and this is as far as my nerd
knowledge goes, because then I'm just the

288
00:10:51,846 --> 00:10:53,678
business guy, the investor on this.

289
00:10:53,678 --> 00:10:56,558
And Jeff's more of the collector, and he
plays regularly.

290
00:10:56,558 --> 00:10:57,348
OK, awesome.

291
00:10:57,348 --> 00:10:58,778
Tell us a little bit more about Jeff.

292
00:10:58,778 --> 00:11:00,968
Yeah, so Jeff and I have been friends for
years.

293
00:11:00,968 --> 00:11:02,108
Jeff's a real estate agent.

294
00:11:02,108 --> 00:11:04,578
He owns his own brokerage, Return Real
Estate.

295
00:11:04,638 --> 00:11:10,658
And he is a business owner, investor, and
a commercial developer as well.

296
00:11:10,658 --> 00:11:16,238
And so I've been in the B2B sales space
for over a decade.

297
00:11:16,238 --> 00:11:21,818
I've sold software tech merchant services,
and I've worked with Jeff in that capacity

298
00:11:21,818 --> 00:11:22,738
as a vendor.

299
00:11:22,738 --> 00:11:23,246
Yeah.

300
00:11:23,246 --> 00:11:25,826
for several years, and he and I have a lot
of common.

301
00:11:25,826 --> 00:11:27,696
We've been friends for a long time, like I
said.

302
00:11:27,696 --> 00:11:31,716
And he came to me and said, hey, I'm, he
started a company in Utah called Game

303
00:11:31,716 --> 00:11:32,506
Haven.

304
00:11:32,506 --> 00:11:33,326
A hardy game haven.

305
00:11:33,326 --> 00:11:34,686
It blew up, you know?

306
00:11:34,686 --> 00:11:37,186
The first store was actually across the
street from this store.

307
00:11:37,186 --> 00:11:37,726
Wow.

308
00:11:37,726 --> 00:11:41,626
In the old Shopco parking lot next to
Shopco.

309
00:11:41,666 --> 00:11:45,686
And he sold that when they got to, I don't
know, four or five locations.

310
00:11:45,826 --> 00:11:49,446
And he wanted to incorporate retro video
games.

311
00:11:49,486 --> 00:11:50,946
And I love the concept.

312
00:11:50,946 --> 00:11:51,956
I have.

313
00:11:52,334 --> 00:11:54,974
been collecting games for some time, so it
was like...

314
00:11:54,974 --> 00:11:55,714
Let's do this.

315
00:11:55,714 --> 00:11:56,894
Let's do this.

316
00:11:56,894 --> 00:12:00,424
And my wife looked at me like I had worms
coming out of my ears.

317
00:12:00,424 --> 00:12:01,854
She thought I was having a midlife crisis.

318
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:02,774
You are nuts.

319
00:12:02,774 --> 00:12:03,674
What is happening?

320
00:12:03,674 --> 00:12:05,764
Yeah, a game store, you don't even know
what a...

321
00:12:05,764 --> 00:12:09,424
You make fun of people that play Pokemon,
so be careful, like what you wish for,

322
00:12:09,424 --> 00:12:09,514
kids.

323
00:12:09,514 --> 00:12:10,554
Exactly.

324
00:12:10,614 --> 00:12:12,754
So, yeah, it's been fun.

325
00:12:12,754 --> 00:12:15,674
It's just a venture that made sense to me.

326
00:12:15,674 --> 00:12:20,770
Jeff's a super great businessman, and he
runs the store as often as...

327
00:12:20,770 --> 00:12:21,590
He's day to day.

328
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:22,300
He's hands on.

329
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:22,970
Dang.

330
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:23,390
Yeah.

331
00:12:23,390 --> 00:12:27,810
It's just been a fun, fun little
investment venture.

332
00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:31,830
First thing in my portfolio that's like
totally different than real estate or

333
00:12:31,830 --> 00:12:32,810
anything else.

334
00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:36,750
And 18 months, and here you are looking to
expand here in the next little bit.

335
00:12:36,750 --> 00:12:37,410
Yeah.

336
00:12:37,410 --> 00:12:41,640
I pay homage to Michael Gerber as he wrote
the book, The E -Myth.

337
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,650
And I think about all the mistakes new
businesses made.

338
00:12:44,650 --> 00:12:46,170
So we don't want to implode.

339
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:47,802
We don't want to.

340
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,910
work in the business, not on the business.

341
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:53,090
So we work in a dual capacity, right?

342
00:12:53,090 --> 00:12:54,150
I'm the marketer.

343
00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:58,730
I'm the people guy, so the social
butterfly.

344
00:12:58,730 --> 00:13:02,500
So I'm out word of mouth marketing this
business, but I do a lot of one -to -ones

345
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,150
here in my line of work.

346
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,070
I'm still full -time selling merchant
services.

347
00:13:06,070 --> 00:13:11,160
So this is just a fun place to talk about
because it's such an easy, it's just

348
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,598
funner.

349
00:13:11,598 --> 00:13:12,558
It's fun to sell.

350
00:13:12,558 --> 00:13:13,378
It's selling fun.

351
00:13:13,378 --> 00:13:14,418
That's absolutely.

352
00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:16,518
And along for sure.

353
00:13:16,518 --> 00:13:18,018
I know you were when we pulled up.

354
00:13:18,018 --> 00:13:19,468
I'm looking around.

355
00:13:19,468 --> 00:13:20,688
If you hear me, be quiet.

356
00:13:20,688 --> 00:13:21,678
It's because I'm just looking around.

357
00:13:21,678 --> 00:13:23,198
Blaine, you with us still?

358
00:13:23,198 --> 00:13:24,318
He gone.

359
00:13:24,318 --> 00:13:26,018
Yeah, he is checking out the merch.

360
00:13:26,018 --> 00:13:26,808
I'm sorry.

361
00:13:26,808 --> 00:13:28,238
I'm sorry to Lindsay.

362
00:13:28,238 --> 00:13:30,398
I did take the wallet as you instructed.

363
00:13:30,398 --> 00:13:31,398
So we're safe.

364
00:13:31,398 --> 00:13:31,948
That's true.

365
00:13:31,948 --> 00:13:33,228
And she wouldn't even let me drive.

366
00:13:33,228 --> 00:13:34,618
She made you pick me up today.

367
00:13:34,618 --> 00:13:36,228
So I wouldn't even bring my own cards.

368
00:13:36,228 --> 00:13:37,368
This is actually true.

369
00:13:37,368 --> 00:13:37,918
Pack it in there.

370
00:13:37,918 --> 00:13:38,528
Hide it from her.

371
00:13:38,528 --> 00:13:39,048
I'm not even lying.

372
00:13:39,048 --> 00:13:39,638
I'm not making that up.

373
00:13:39,638 --> 00:13:40,868
Put that stuff down right now.

374
00:13:40,868 --> 00:13:41,088
No.

375
00:13:41,088 --> 00:13:41,552
That's hilarious.

376
00:13:41,552 --> 00:13:42,232
There is.

377
00:13:42,232 --> 00:13:43,132
Bex, do you play games?

378
00:13:43,132 --> 00:13:43,952
I don't.

379
00:13:43,952 --> 00:13:45,292
I don't, but my son does.

380
00:13:45,292 --> 00:13:47,272
Let me say this.

381
00:13:47,552 --> 00:13:49,922
Does Batman Legos count?

382
00:13:49,922 --> 00:13:50,672
Oh, absolutely.

383
00:13:50,672 --> 00:13:52,712
Does Indiana Jones Legos count?

384
00:13:52,712 --> 00:13:53,332
Absolutely.

385
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,962
That's what I was playing with my little
guy when he was about four years old.

386
00:13:55,962 --> 00:13:57,852
He's, mom, mom, you want to play?

387
00:13:57,852 --> 00:13:59,322
He would call it Indian Jones.

388
00:13:59,322 --> 00:14:00,802
He didn't realize it was Indiana Jones.

389
00:14:00,802 --> 00:14:02,172
You want to play Indian Jones with me?

390
00:14:02,172 --> 00:14:03,592
I'm like, yeah, let's do it.

391
00:14:03,592 --> 00:14:06,472
So that's the extent of my playing games
with my little guy.

392
00:14:06,472 --> 00:14:07,052
You know what, though?

393
00:14:07,052 --> 00:14:09,392
Who is now, sorry, six foot three.

394
00:14:09,392 --> 00:14:10,350
He's not little anymore.

395
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:11,770
20 years old.

396
00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:13,210
He's playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption.

397
00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:14,440
He left the LEGOs.

398
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,210
He a Red Dead tattoo on his arm this year.

399
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:18,130
Yeah, so he came home with that.

400
00:14:18,130 --> 00:14:19,340
We have Red Dead Redemption here.

401
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:20,100
Oh yeah, gamers.

402
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:21,070
We got a gamer.

403
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:22,910
That's a great title.

404
00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:27,610
So it should be no surprise that this game
store took off.

405
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:29,600
If you really think about it, it's not a
surprise, right?

406
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,230
Because if you look at the gaming world,
that's multi -billion dollars every year.

407
00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:37,110
You're talking about people who go and
work in games.

408
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,290
Guess where I made the most money?

409
00:14:38,290 --> 00:14:39,540
I worked in games.

410
00:14:39,540 --> 00:14:40,452
Was it?

411
00:14:40,526 --> 00:14:43,006
Radio, it wasn't any of that stuff, it's
game.

412
00:14:43,406 --> 00:14:47,406
It's no surprise, but people love games
because that's something that people

413
00:14:47,406 --> 00:14:48,646
connect on.

414
00:14:48,706 --> 00:14:49,486
For sure.

415
00:14:49,486 --> 00:14:52,836
You were over here, Beck, laughing,
saying, I don't know, does this game

416
00:14:52,836 --> 00:14:53,016
count?

417
00:14:53,016 --> 00:14:54,246
They all count.

418
00:14:54,486 --> 00:14:55,846
They all count.

419
00:14:55,846 --> 00:15:01,066
People have this misconceived notion that
gamers are nerds.

420
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:03,546
Yeah, I was totally teasing you.

421
00:15:03,546 --> 00:15:05,276
I know, but I'm going to hit this because
it is.

422
00:15:05,276 --> 00:15:06,086
It's very true.

423
00:15:06,086 --> 00:15:06,906
I'm a nerd.

424
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,086
I'm proud to say I'm a nerd.

425
00:15:08,086 --> 00:15:10,070
It doesn't have to be a derogatory.

426
00:15:10,070 --> 00:15:14,320
It shouldn't be video games for me and you
mentioned this drew about building the

427
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,690
community here with playing magic the
gathering You saw my destiny shirt.

428
00:15:18,690 --> 00:15:20,570
I played destiny's almost ten years now.

429
00:15:20,570 --> 00:15:24,460
It's almost ten years deep I've got
lifelong connections that I consider my

430
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:29,310
brothers like I don't have blood brothers,
but these guys would be yeah, and these

431
00:15:29,310 --> 00:15:34,590
people black white Indian Hispanic they're
from all walks of life.

432
00:15:34,590 --> 00:15:37,910
It's people I would have never met
anywhere else Yeah, and I've got that

433
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:40,014
connection now that I would welcome them
into my home

434
00:15:40,014 --> 00:15:41,474
Yeah, so call me a nerd.

435
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:45,434
I'm not being a nerd because of that
because video games do it video games

436
00:15:45,434 --> 00:15:49,174
bring the world together Yeah, in ways
that you don't think about and that's what

437
00:15:49,174 --> 00:15:53,594
I'm gonna get into on my video game show
It's coming out game related.

438
00:15:53,594 --> 00:15:54,994
Yeah, I can't wait to get into that.

439
00:15:54,994 --> 00:15:57,964
Yeah, Blaine's got a podcast coming out I
know what that we've talked about a little

440
00:15:57,964 --> 00:16:01,574
bit, but yes, that's coming out You won't
believe some of the celebrities that I've

441
00:16:01,574 --> 00:16:02,954
talked to about games.

442
00:16:02,954 --> 00:16:04,814
Yeah, no really I'm excited here.

443
00:16:04,814 --> 00:16:08,024
It's gonna be fun and I'm gonna show even
deeper about that connection that people

444
00:16:08,024 --> 00:16:08,750
make

445
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:13,320
I'm telling you, there's no way anywhere
you would have made a connection with some

446
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,270
of these people.

447
00:16:14,270 --> 00:16:15,870
But I love that about games.

448
00:16:15,870 --> 00:16:17,570
Really brings people together for sure.

449
00:16:17,570 --> 00:16:19,850
I do have to ask you one more thing.

450
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:23,910
Out of all this stuff in here, what's your
favorite?

451
00:16:23,910 --> 00:16:24,580
What's the boys?

452
00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:25,340
Okay, all right.

453
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:26,520
Getting on the spot.

454
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,640
Obviously, I'm a 90s kid.

455
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,190
Oh yeah.

456
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:35,790
So I go to this wall ride at the back, the
east of the store, which is our Super

457
00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:36,160
Nintendo.

458
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,882
We have it chronological or you guys can't
see it, but.

459
00:16:38,882 --> 00:16:41,642
It's regular Nintendo, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64.

460
00:16:41,642 --> 00:16:48,772
I basically, I'm super nostalgic about the
side scroller stuff that I spent a lot of

461
00:16:48,772 --> 00:16:54,822
hours, a lot of thumb blisters, button
mashing those fighting games, right?

462
00:16:54,822 --> 00:16:59,452
And I think more so than the game, it's
where I was when I played that game, was I

463
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:04,082
had to sleep over at a friend's house, was
I staying up all night when I should have

464
00:17:04,082 --> 00:17:06,952
been getting ready for school, that kind
of stuff, right?

465
00:17:06,952 --> 00:17:07,886
And it's...

466
00:17:07,886 --> 00:17:10,906
So there's that nostalgic element for me.

467
00:17:10,906 --> 00:17:14,986
And that really hits on your point,
Blaine, with the memories and the people

468
00:17:14,986 --> 00:17:17,246
and the surrounding and the circumstances.

469
00:17:17,246 --> 00:17:20,386
I've played 4 ,000 hours of this Destiny
game.

470
00:17:20,386 --> 00:17:21,646
Oh my gosh.

471
00:17:21,646 --> 00:17:24,386
Now, I love Bungie.

472
00:17:24,386 --> 00:17:25,176
They made Halo.

473
00:17:25,176 --> 00:17:26,866
They brought Halo to us.

474
00:17:27,266 --> 00:17:32,146
And I've played at least 4 ,000 hours
almost in 10 years with these people, with

475
00:17:32,146 --> 00:17:33,626
these guys and girls that I've met.

476
00:17:33,626 --> 00:17:34,536
It all walks of life.

477
00:17:34,536 --> 00:17:35,276
Like I said, it's not just guys.

478
00:17:35,276 --> 00:17:35,806
For sure.

479
00:17:35,806 --> 00:17:37,232
It's everybody.

480
00:17:37,358 --> 00:17:38,838
He, she, they, all of them.

481
00:17:38,838 --> 00:17:40,858
I'm not even kidding, it's all of it out
there.

482
00:17:41,518 --> 00:17:44,958
And it's amazing to me.

483
00:17:45,498 --> 00:17:47,298
You don't get that connection somewhere
else.

484
00:17:47,298 --> 00:17:52,278
The game Destiny, it's a good game, but
it's not 4 ,000 hours good.

485
00:17:52,278 --> 00:17:54,638
The real experience is the experience you
get with other people.

486
00:17:54,638 --> 00:17:56,558
We've all talked about that.

487
00:17:56,558 --> 00:17:58,498
We don't care about what game we're
playing.

488
00:17:58,618 --> 00:18:01,318
If we jump to another game, we all go.

489
00:18:01,318 --> 00:18:05,518
Yeah, which is interesting because the way
video games have evolved...

490
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:09,418
Because as humans, we love movies, we love
storytelling, and the video games have

491
00:18:09,418 --> 00:18:13,248
become more inversive, and that's what I
love about the newer games.

492
00:18:13,248 --> 00:18:15,628
So I could spend 4 ,000 hours on Diablo 4.

493
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:15,988
Oh yeah.

494
00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:18,018
I could sink that in for I've got hundreds
in there.

495
00:18:18,018 --> 00:18:18,678
That's a great game.

496
00:18:18,678 --> 00:18:23,658
There's so many games out there that you
can do this to and be able to even on

497
00:18:23,658 --> 00:18:23,878
Diablo 4.

498
00:18:23,878 --> 00:18:26,238
Yeah, and you can connect and collaborate
with a lot of people.

499
00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:29,326
It's kind of like I used to skateboard a
lot and...

500
00:18:29,326 --> 00:18:32,666
we would get our friends together and we
would go skateboard or if you play

501
00:18:32,666 --> 00:18:34,426
pickleball or whatever your jam is.

502
00:18:34,426 --> 00:18:38,996
There's always an outlet for you and if
you find a way to connect with people

503
00:18:38,996 --> 00:18:41,236
while doing it, it makes it funner for
some reason.

504
00:18:41,236 --> 00:18:41,736
Oh yeah.

505
00:18:41,736 --> 00:18:47,206
But it's, yeah, I mean, the video game's
online for me too.

506
00:18:47,206 --> 00:18:48,546
It is a different experience.

507
00:18:48,546 --> 00:18:53,326
I think I can, I see why you can spend
more hours on them nowadays than back in

508
00:18:53,326 --> 00:18:57,046
the day because back in the day it was
like we didn't have the internet so you

509
00:18:57,046 --> 00:18:58,016
had to play it.

510
00:18:58,016 --> 00:18:58,478
Yeah.

511
00:18:58,478 --> 00:19:02,058
In two hours you had to beat a side
-scroller because you couldn't save it.

512
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:04,078
And you only had so many lives and
continues.

513
00:19:04,078 --> 00:19:05,428
And your mom's calling you for dinner.

514
00:19:05,428 --> 00:19:08,898
It tested the skill of a gamer.

515
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:11,298
You can always pause then, but you can't
pause now.

516
00:19:11,298 --> 00:19:12,518
That's the big thing.

517
00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:17,458
That's how you know a real gamer or a not
gamer is when someone yells at the gamer,

518
00:19:17,458 --> 00:19:19,078
pause the game!

519
00:19:19,138 --> 00:19:20,628
You can't pause these games.

520
00:19:20,628 --> 00:19:21,578
Roll on.

521
00:19:21,614 --> 00:19:23,604
24 hours a day, these things don't stop.

522
00:19:23,604 --> 00:19:25,464
They got servers going all over.

523
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:26,104
That's what I'm saying.

524
00:19:26,104 --> 00:19:28,134
This is a billion, the multi -billion
dollar industry now.

525
00:19:28,134 --> 00:19:30,074
It's not just games.

526
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:32,734
We said the word games loosely.

527
00:19:32,734 --> 00:19:33,794
It's a business.

528
00:19:33,794 --> 00:19:35,814
It's huge business.

529
00:19:35,814 --> 00:19:37,074
It's not going anywhere, right?

530
00:19:37,074 --> 00:19:41,284
Yeah, I remember when the Nintendo Switch
came out and obviously the Smash Brothers

531
00:19:41,284 --> 00:19:44,424
has existed before that, but I remember
playing Smash Brothers on the Switch and

532
00:19:44,424 --> 00:19:49,484
I'm like just button mashing my 90s kid
trying to figure out how to just button

533
00:19:49,484 --> 00:19:50,190
mash.

534
00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:53,930
I look up online, there's kids in Japan
competing on Smash Brothers.

535
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:54,920
They're so good.

536
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,470
Oh man.

537
00:19:55,470 --> 00:19:57,190
And they're getting paid.

538
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:59,140
They're winning and I'm like, wow, this is
crazy.

539
00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:00,230
I love watching e -sports.

540
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:03,730
And people make fun of people that watch e
-sports, but guess what?

541
00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:06,410
Those same people are watching NBA,
they're watching NFL.

542
00:20:06,410 --> 00:20:07,660
What's the difference?

543
00:20:07,660 --> 00:20:09,710
You're watching someone else play a game,
right?

544
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:10,040
Yeah.

545
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,690
It might be physical, but this is not
always just a mental thing.

546
00:20:14,690 --> 00:20:15,520
It's physical too.

547
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,890
You're talking about the button mashing.

548
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:19,398
You've seen these e -sports events where
the guys show up with their...

549
00:20:19,470 --> 00:20:22,030
custom controllers and stuff, like it's
wild.

550
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:23,620
That's crazy, Blaine, I didn't even know.

551
00:20:23,620 --> 00:20:25,900
Like my eyes are being opened today.

552
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,790
I can feel the passion from Blaine, Bex.

553
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:30,010
I love this.

554
00:20:30,010 --> 00:20:30,970
I'm telling you.

555
00:20:30,970 --> 00:20:32,400
Gamer's lives matter, guys.

556
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,670
Gamer's lives matter.

557
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:37,230
I'm telling you right now, my son is gonna
be like, mom, where is this store?

558
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:38,610
How do I find it?

559
00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:39,550
Where are you at?

560
00:20:39,550 --> 00:20:41,950
I know you've got some socials, you got
your own website.

561
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:46,120
Yeah, we're in the southwest corner of
90th South and Redwood Road for this

562
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:47,192
Utahn...

563
00:20:47,192 --> 00:20:48,942
that understand the grid system.

564
00:20:49,002 --> 00:20:52,642
The address is 1817 West 9000 Southwest
Jordan, Utah.

565
00:20:52,642 --> 00:20:56,562
And our website is galaxyof .games.

566
00:20:56,562 --> 00:20:57,112
Love that.

567
00:20:57,112 --> 00:20:59,922
And you can find us on Facebook and
Instagram as well.

568
00:20:59,922 --> 00:21:04,502
We are open 12 to 10 on the weekends.

569
00:21:04,662 --> 00:21:05,262
12 noon?

570
00:21:05,262 --> 00:21:06,582
12 noon.

571
00:21:06,582 --> 00:21:07,342
To 10 PM.

572
00:21:07,342 --> 00:21:08,902
9 PM on the weekdays.

573
00:21:08,902 --> 00:21:14,552
So it's just come in if a game's not on
the shelves and it's like a board game and

574
00:21:14,552 --> 00:21:16,238
it's in print, we can order it.

575
00:21:16,238 --> 00:21:18,518
The idea of it is we encourage loitering.

576
00:21:18,518 --> 00:21:20,888
We want you to come make friends, play
games, hang out.

577
00:21:20,888 --> 00:21:21,398
Connect.

578
00:21:21,398 --> 00:21:26,018
We have an entire shelf behind me of test
games.

579
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:30,278
So if you're like, hey, on the fence about
buying a game, come pop it down, play for

580
00:21:30,278 --> 00:21:30,938
free.

581
00:21:30,938 --> 00:21:33,818
And if you need help with the rules, we
have the workers here.

582
00:21:33,818 --> 00:21:36,118
We'll explain how to use the rules.

583
00:21:36,118 --> 00:21:39,458
And I want to point out that we're not
talking about just Monopoly.

584
00:21:39,458 --> 00:21:39,938
No.

585
00:21:39,938 --> 00:21:42,098
I see games out there you've never heard
of before.

586
00:21:42,098 --> 00:21:45,518
There's Whirling Witchcraft, Small World.

587
00:21:45,518 --> 00:21:48,488
Mysterium these look great like these are
probably fun.

588
00:21:48,488 --> 00:21:52,858
Splendor Azul all the good games concept
ticket to ride I'm looking over there this

589
00:21:52,858 --> 00:21:56,718
we're not gonna this isn't grandma's house
where you play Chinese checkers This is

590
00:21:56,718 --> 00:22:00,658
this is some good stuff sophisticated
gaming All right, I got one more question

591
00:22:00,658 --> 00:22:05,578
for sure now one of my biggest memories in
games is a game for PlayStation 1 It was

592
00:22:05,578 --> 00:22:07,298
Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

593
00:22:07,298 --> 00:22:08,478
Mm -hmm can't find that game.

594
00:22:08,478 --> 00:22:14,148
You can't find it anywhere It's rare if
anybody out there got some tips on that I

595
00:22:14,148 --> 00:22:15,086
want that game

596
00:22:15,086 --> 00:22:18,286
I need that PlayStation one in the
original, you know the boxes.

597
00:22:18,286 --> 00:22:20,026
Yeah, those Ridge gotta have that.

598
00:22:20,026 --> 00:22:21,266
Oh, you're not asking for much.

599
00:22:21,266 --> 00:22:21,786
Not much.

600
00:22:21,786 --> 00:22:24,386
Just a holy grail of games for me.

601
00:22:24,386 --> 00:22:25,626
That's my holy grail of games.

602
00:22:25,626 --> 00:22:27,246
Info at Radio Daybreak.

603
00:22:27,246 --> 00:22:30,686
If you got any info for Blaine on At Just
Play TV.

604
00:22:31,146 --> 00:22:36,686
If that shows up for me, I'm telling you,
I'd have a little thug tier come out of

605
00:22:36,686 --> 00:22:37,106
my...

606
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:38,386
You certainly would.

607
00:22:38,386 --> 00:22:39,406
I got it.

608
00:22:39,470 --> 00:22:41,250
Okay, I'm just gonna tell your wife right
now.

609
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:45,650
I can't help it if somebody brings that to
him and what that's gonna cost.

610
00:22:45,650 --> 00:22:46,970
I'm gonna need a PlayStation 2.

611
00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:49,210
I got a PlayStation 1.

612
00:22:49,210 --> 00:22:50,570
Not a PlayStation also.

613
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:51,590
I'll need that.

614
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:53,110
But outside of that, that's what I'm
looking for.

615
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:54,610
Anybody got some leads on that?

616
00:22:54,610 --> 00:22:56,540
Yep, and we will do video game swaps.

617
00:22:56,540 --> 00:22:57,650
So follow us online.

618
00:22:57,650 --> 00:22:59,710
We usually post those in the summer.

619
00:22:59,710 --> 00:23:00,160
Perfect.

620
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,690
Thanks, Drew.

621
00:23:00,690 --> 00:23:01,950
This is great.

622
00:23:01,950 --> 00:23:05,614
I'll be here for the rest of the day
and...

623
00:23:05,614 --> 00:23:07,214
Probably gonna start taking up a shift
here.

624
00:23:07,214 --> 00:23:08,894
You're hired.

625
00:23:08,894 --> 00:23:11,144
Yeah, you would be fantastic.

626
00:23:11,144 --> 00:23:12,154
You would be right.

627
00:23:12,154 --> 00:23:13,614
You want to know something about the
games?

628
00:23:13,614 --> 00:23:15,014
Just explain.

629
00:23:15,174 --> 00:23:15,414
Thanks.

630
00:23:15,414 --> 00:23:15,984
This is great.

631
00:23:15,984 --> 00:23:16,594
No, this is great.

632
00:23:16,594 --> 00:23:17,284
Thanks again, Drew.

633
00:23:17,284 --> 00:23:17,954
You're welcome.

634
00:23:17,954 --> 00:23:19,124
Yeah, thanks for coming in.

635
00:23:19,124 --> 00:23:20,414
Oh, my God.

636
00:23:20,414 --> 00:23:24,264
I could have stayed in there for I could
have still been in there right now.

637
00:23:24,264 --> 00:23:25,664
I can still be in there doing it.

638
00:23:25,664 --> 00:23:27,234
I love that place.

639
00:23:27,234 --> 00:23:28,994
Drew Campbell from Galaxy of Games.

640
00:23:28,994 --> 00:23:32,302
I'm going to go back over there and get
into some D &D tournaments or.

641
00:23:32,302 --> 00:23:35,582
Go over there and start playing some stuff
with the people.

642
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:37,982
You need to take your whole gaming crew
with you.

643
00:23:37,982 --> 00:23:38,822
I'm going to.

644
00:23:38,822 --> 00:23:41,702
We're going to show up one night over
there at Galaxy Games and it's going to be

645
00:23:41,702 --> 00:23:43,522
real fun over there.

646
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:48,422
I'm still waiting on somebody to find me
that copy of Discworld on PlayStation 1

647
00:23:48,422 --> 00:23:50,322
and a way to play it.

648
00:23:50,322 --> 00:23:52,362
You're not really quite pleased at all,
are you?

649
00:23:52,362 --> 00:23:53,432
No, no, not at all.

650
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,162
Not at all.

651
00:23:54,162 --> 00:23:58,252
But I think you have an insider with Santa
Claus this year, so you might need to put

652
00:23:58,252 --> 00:23:59,438
that request in.

653
00:23:59,438 --> 00:23:59,968
That's true.

654
00:23:59,968 --> 00:24:00,488
That's true.

655
00:24:00,488 --> 00:24:02,078
So maybe I will, maybe I will.

656
00:24:02,078 --> 00:24:06,098
But until then, there's a big event coming
up for Daybreak residents.

657
00:24:06,098 --> 00:24:07,998
It's the Daybreak Farmers Market.

658
00:24:07,998 --> 00:24:09,038
So we got to go over here.

659
00:24:09,038 --> 00:24:10,588
I got to, we got to go talk to somebody
about that.

660
00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:11,558
Let's see what's going down.

661
00:24:11,558 --> 00:24:13,478
I know it's been like 60 degrees out there
lately.

662
00:24:13,478 --> 00:24:15,178
We could have had the farmers market on
Soda Road.

663
00:24:15,178 --> 00:24:15,328
What?

664
00:24:15,328 --> 00:24:17,018
Last week, two weeks ago.

665
00:24:17,018 --> 00:24:22,738
It's been crazy, but I got to bring in
Laura from Empowered Community Markets.

666
00:24:22,738 --> 00:24:24,698
That's formerly Sojo Markets.

667
00:24:24,698 --> 00:24:25,498
That's right.

668
00:24:25,498 --> 00:24:28,058
She's got some news for all the people out
there asking Laura.

669
00:24:28,058 --> 00:24:28,974
Thanks for joining us.

670
00:24:28,974 --> 00:24:30,384
Thanks guys for having me guys.

671
00:24:30,384 --> 00:24:35,154
I'm so excited to let everybody know that
the applications for the Daybreak Farmers

672
00:24:35,154 --> 00:24:36,814
Market are open.

673
00:24:36,814 --> 00:24:38,214
So you can go.

674
00:24:38,214 --> 00:24:39,354
Yes.

675
00:24:39,634 --> 00:24:40,754
Finally.

676
00:24:41,234 --> 00:24:42,734
Waiting for them.

677
00:24:43,914 --> 00:24:49,554
So they are open and all you have to do is
go to Daybreakfarmersmarket .com.

678
00:24:49,554 --> 00:24:54,074
Go to the Daybreak Farmers Market page and
down to the policy and procedures manual.

679
00:24:54,074 --> 00:24:57,014
We put the applications in the policy and
procedures manual.

680
00:24:57,014 --> 00:24:58,254
So you will read.

681
00:24:58,254 --> 00:24:59,994
the policy and procedures manual.

682
00:24:59,994 --> 00:25:01,014
Yes, I love it.

683
00:25:01,014 --> 00:25:03,964
So Laura, how hard is that process when
you get into that application?

684
00:25:03,964 --> 00:25:08,434
Can you give us an estimate of what goes
into that application?

685
00:25:08,434 --> 00:25:10,854
What kind of time do I have to put in?

686
00:25:10,854 --> 00:25:11,814
All that kind of Sure.

687
00:25:11,814 --> 00:25:13,854
The application is really basic.

688
00:25:13,854 --> 00:25:16,604
Your name, contact information, things
like that.

689
00:25:16,604 --> 00:25:19,094
So it doesn't take very long to fill it
out.

690
00:25:19,094 --> 00:25:23,324
I will say if you are selling food, you
really need to go through that policy and

691
00:25:23,324 --> 00:25:27,284
procedures manual and make sure that you
are following all the regulations for

692
00:25:27,284 --> 00:25:28,206
food.

693
00:25:28,206 --> 00:25:29,486
because those are really important.

694
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:30,966
We stick really close to this.

695
00:25:30,966 --> 00:25:35,206
Great to one thing I do want to point out
is this fills up fast, right, Laura?

696
00:25:35,206 --> 00:25:35,406
Yeah.

697
00:25:35,406 --> 00:25:38,316
These spots are, you announce it and then
they're gone.

698
00:25:38,316 --> 00:25:41,766
So if you're even thinking about it, get
your application in, get this rolling.

699
00:25:41,766 --> 00:25:43,556
How many spots do you have?

700
00:25:43,556 --> 00:25:44,406
Do you have, go ahead.

701
00:25:44,406 --> 00:25:45,196
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to catch you.

702
00:25:45,196 --> 00:25:46,486
I'm excited.

703
00:25:46,666 --> 00:25:48,166
I appreciate that.

704
00:25:48,166 --> 00:25:52,046
So each week we have 60 booth spaces
available.

705
00:25:52,326 --> 00:25:56,756
So, and we rotate those, especially the
arts and crafts ones, we rotate a lot to

706
00:25:56,756 --> 00:25:57,518
keep the market

707
00:25:57,518 --> 00:25:58,598
fresh every week.

708
00:25:58,598 --> 00:26:03,548
The applications will be open until March
9th and we won't even look at them until

709
00:26:03,548 --> 00:26:08,968
then so that everything can come in and we
can have everything in one big group to go

710
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:12,318
through and have a really nice compilation
of the applications.

711
00:26:12,318 --> 00:26:15,878
After that, if you apply, you'll go onto
the wait list.

712
00:26:15,878 --> 00:26:21,038
So get yours in before March 9th and we'll
go from there.

713
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:21,618
Nice.

714
00:26:21,618 --> 00:26:23,338
So I got a side hustle.

715
00:26:23,338 --> 00:26:24,308
I just started up now.

716
00:26:24,308 --> 00:26:27,194
I'm going to come down there and see if I
can get my application approved.

717
00:26:27,406 --> 00:26:30,326
I started making soap.

718
00:26:30,326 --> 00:26:32,746
I felt like that's the next big thing.

719
00:26:32,746 --> 00:26:34,646
I'm making my own soap right here in the
house.

720
00:26:34,646 --> 00:26:36,346
So I'm going come down there and set up a
little booth.

721
00:26:36,346 --> 00:26:38,566
If you don't have room for me, I
understand.

722
00:26:39,486 --> 00:26:41,796
You know, I absolutely love soap.

723
00:26:41,796 --> 00:26:46,606
I actually call myself a body product snob
now because of the farmers market, because

724
00:26:46,606 --> 00:26:51,546
I love using products that don't have
preservatives and all the other junk that

725
00:26:51,546 --> 00:26:53,906
goes into store -bought soap and products.

726
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:56,366
So I get all of mine at the farmers
market.

727
00:26:56,366 --> 00:27:01,446
So my handmade soap is actually made out
of, you know when you use one of those

728
00:27:01,446 --> 00:27:04,266
boards on your feet and you scrub it Be
careful.

729
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:08,506
Well, I take the shavings there and I make
that into a bar soap.

730
00:27:08,506 --> 00:27:10,386
Oh no, Laura, I'm sorry.

731
00:27:10,386 --> 00:27:12,186
I knew it was coming.

732
00:27:12,186 --> 00:27:12,636
What happened?

733
00:27:12,636 --> 00:27:16,766
It was either the scent of the soap or the
process of the soap leaking.

734
00:27:16,766 --> 00:27:17,696
What's wrong with that?

735
00:27:17,696 --> 00:27:18,326
What's wrong?

736
00:27:18,326 --> 00:27:20,286
I thought that, is that not healthy?

737
00:27:20,286 --> 00:27:23,342
That's as wholesome and healthy as it
gets, right?

738
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:26,682
I don't think we're going to meet the
regulations on that.

739
00:27:26,682 --> 00:27:30,082
So I, so it's exactly.

740
00:27:30,082 --> 00:27:32,462
I what to add to that.

741
00:27:32,862 --> 00:27:34,192
Thanks for that.

742
00:27:34,192 --> 00:27:35,002
Thank you so much.

743
00:27:35,002 --> 00:27:39,052
I'm definitely not making soap and I'm not
making fun of this farmer's market because

744
00:27:39,052 --> 00:27:41,222
I do love going down there and it's
weekly, right?

745
00:27:41,222 --> 00:27:43,442
It's still, it's still going to be weekly
every Saturday.

746
00:27:43,442 --> 00:27:43,722
Yes.

747
00:27:43,722 --> 00:27:48,002
It's every Saturday from the second week
of June to the second week of October from

748
00:27:48,002 --> 00:27:48,462
9 a .m.

749
00:27:48,462 --> 00:27:49,742
to 1 p .m.

750
00:27:49,742 --> 00:27:54,712
And then next year, if it hits January
2025 and it's 60 degrees outside again, I

751
00:27:54,712 --> 00:27:56,342
think we should open it up to...

752
00:27:56,342 --> 00:27:58,162
We might have some pop -up markets.

753
00:27:58,162 --> 00:27:58,742
Yeah, right.

754
00:27:58,742 --> 00:27:59,012
Thank you.

755
00:27:59,012 --> 00:28:00,602
Hey, there's one coming up.

756
00:28:00,602 --> 00:28:05,142
We know you got one coming up February
10th on Valentine's Day.

757
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:08,262

Communities.

758
00:28:08,262 --> 00:28:10,522
We'll have more info on that, but I can't
wait for that as well.

759
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,002
