Transcript

What's going on, man? How you doing? Hey, man. Good. How are you? Hello, this is Paul. Hello. You hanging that TV? Yeah. Why? I can tell. There we go. So who you got today? Oh, I'm thinking Philadelphia, man. Changing your mind? Oh, no no no. I'm just checking my positions on FNATIC Sports Casino. I might be able to sell before the game ends or add to my trade as the price moves. Hey, I don't gotta wait until the game's over. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And every trade earns rank cash, whether my position goes up or down. What can you use that for? Oh, gear, cards, collectibles, tickets, stuff across fanatics. I mean, heck, I'll probably use mine for tickets. Yeah. We should go to the game. Sure. But we gotta get that TV fixed first. I mean, hang on. Look at that. Why do you have a level? Why do you not?
