And joining us now on this episode of the Rich Eisen Show, after Jason Concepcion was in studio on Friday and set the bar very high, to be fair and balanced, the co-host of his incredibly successful podcast, Six Trophies with Jason Concepcion and Shea Serrano. Joining us right here on the Rich Eisen Show is, in fact, Shea Serrano. Good to see you, Shea. What's up, my boy? How's life?

How are you? You're wearing a Dodger cap. Dodger cap. I bought this hat at a Dodger game. I went with a buddy of mine named Peter. He asked if I wanted to go, and I went, and I thought it was awesome.

And it's like on at least one Dodger piece of paraphernalia. So I got my hat, and I'm good to go. Excellent. Hey, Shea, I don't know if it's the internet connection or something, but if you don't mind, I'm just going to pop you off for a second and have my guy, RJ, try and connect with you.

It sounds it's difficult to understand what you're saying. If you don't mind, I'm going to hit the pause button on that. So I want to make sure. Was he behind like all these VHS tapes or something like that? Yeah, Shea's gotten real big into the VHS collecting game. It's kind of a thing now with the collectibles. OK. During the pandemic, sports cards went crazy. Any type of sports memorabilia, tickets. Mike, I know you're going through all your old concert and game tickets. And now VHS going through the roof. I heard that you can get paper printed out tickets now, right?

Like when I went to YouTube sphere, I actually had to pick up actual tickets. Yeah, you know, bring them back. Yeah, I hope so, because I kind of dig that.

Yeah, I miss that. Well, collectibles, you know, the Super Bowls that you've been to national championship games, Final Fours. All that stuff is kind of big on the collectibles market. Right. You can get all this stuff graded. And, you know, it's like first game, like, oh, Michael Jordan, Kobe's first game ticket ticket.

That stuff is really popular. When was the last time you had a paper ticket to something? Well, you have to leave your house first. But outside of that, what were you doing?

I mean, first of all, my man, you don't understand. Most of the time I never had to pay. But to actually. Nice. Ladies and gentlemen.

Jefferson. Flexing is my favorite to you. I know you love that.

Thank you, TJ. Actually, the last Clipper game I went to was when Benyama's first appearance at Staples actually did pay to. But did you get a paper ticket or you know, these days now you just have to flash your phone. And now, you know what, you just look in your your your phone wallet for those those warm and fuzzy memories. I miss like one day you're going to show your grandkids here. Let me pull up and look at grandpa's phone while taking screenshots.

This is the first concert I went to. Rich, I'm getting. It was on my phone because I used the game time app. Hey, I forgot code, Rich. I do admit so I had to. OK, a little bit extra. OK.

But I have a thing where I was doing this subconsciously. I was collecting all of my ticket stubs and I went back home and my mom's attic and I found I'd start doing it in like 1986. OK, with tickets.

So I just have a huge box of movies, baseball, basketball, football games, stuff like that. I just kept all the ticket stubs. Yeah, no, but I'm psyched like I've got the U2 at the sphere.

It's an actual paper ticket ticket. OK, by the way, USC Chase Serrano is logging back in to see if that works. He's going to have a fight in the sphere. UFC is. Yeah. UFC 206 is going to take place inside 306 306. I'm sorry.

By the way, what do you put on the on the sphere behind you, though? The fight. Just that's true. You could have the fight. No, I know you could do that, but wouldn't that be?

Well, you got you and Mike have been there. What do you think? Yeah, it's jarring for the fighters. Of course it would be OK. Yeah.

What if they put like fans watching from home or something? That could be it. That's not. Oh, yeah.

Oh, let's see if Chase Serrano is any. Are you there, Shay? Yeah.

There we go. It's like you're sitting next to me. Literally like you're sitting next to me.

What's with the Dodger cap?

What's with that? I bought this. I was in LA. I went to a Dodger game with a buddy of mine, this guy named Peter Marietta.

Okay. And I loved it. I had a great time. And it's like a rule. If you are a Mexican, you have to own at least one piece of Dodger per panelia. So I was like, let me get my hat.

I got my hat. I didn't know. Where's that rule book? Where does that rule book exist? We go over it at our monthly meetings.

It's a very thick binder. He said the monthly meetings? Yeah. You're obviously not invited to these meetings.

So let's just jump into, if you don't mind, the NBA world, because I know there's so much places I can go with you, pop culture, certainly with that awesome collection of VHS, I'm having like a blockbuster flashback from my high school days to your left. What did you think of it? Did you see the Clipper rebrand? Shay, did you see the Clipper rebrand?

I did. What do you think of it? What do you think? When I saw it two seconds in, I was like, I hate this. And then after that, I started to be like, I kind of like this. I think I really like it. Maybe I love it. I kind of love it now. It's great. Really? Yeah. Okay. Can you walk me through your, I guess your metamorphosis on this front?

Yeah. When you first look at it, you're just a little confused. What is this? What is this? What am I looking at?

It looks like a mess. And then you look at it a little longer and you realize, oh, it's a ship and there's a sea around it. And also we've got the little nautical Northeast Southwest thing going on.

Yes. And there's the undertone of a basketball on the bottom of the ship. There's a lot of stuff going on in there. And I'm like, I like, like the movie national treasure, like I want to peel back some layers and find some stuff. And like, there's probably a reference to Benjamin Franklin in there somewhere and I'm going to find it. I'm going to find it. I swear to you.

I will. Does that make a, is Balmer, Nick cage then and that front, is that where we're going on that? Yeah. He isn't a cage with all of the screaming and yelling and like, it fits perfect.

It does fit. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know, I just, how many people do you think know a clipper is an actual boat? I don't know. I don't think a lot. You know what I mean? The only reason I know is because I watch a show called Ink Master and they sometimes have to tattoo clipper ships.

That's the only reason I know. How about that? Wow.

All right. Shay Serrano here on the Rich Eisen show. What is the story in the NBA right now in your estimation? What is it? The story, I mean, after, after what, last night I was sort of thinking though the warriors haven't beaten the Nuggets in two years, something crazy like that, that, that is standing out to me.

I'm of course in San Antonio. Wimby is the story here. He's just been incredible to watch this season. The Celtics look like maybe this is the year they make the leap.

Who knows? The Timberwolves are incredible. I went and saw Anthony Edwards in person. He's my favorite non-spur player to watch. So when they came to San Antonio, I went to go see, to see him and the, the emergence of the Thunder as like, well, they're, they're looking pretty scary. Those are my, those are the storylines I'm the most excited about right now. What do you think of the Bucks coming off of the break seemingly putting a pedal to the metal so far?

What do you think about that? I would like for there to be another really good team in the East. And if it's going to be somebody to do it, let's have the Bucks do it. Let's have, let's see what it looks like when Damon Giannis are deep in the playoffs. This is the first year. We talked about this on, on the show, Jason and I talked about this, where it felt like this was the first year that if Dame doesn't make it at minimum to the conference finals, then it's going to feel like, like he underperformed or like his team underperformed. Every year before this, he's been the underdog beginning in his first year when they played their rockets in the playoffs, if I'm not mistaken. And then he pushed them to, into the first, in the second round for like the first time in 14 years or whatever.

But he's always been on that side of the seesaw. And now he's over here where the expectations are a little higher. I'm very excited to see what he does.

I assume he's going to do great because that's just, that's what he does when it's time, but we'll see. Jay Serrano here on The Rich Eisen Show, six trophies with Jason Concepcion and Jay Serrano available wherever you get your podcasts. New show is released every single Wednesday right here on The Rich Eisen Show. And so Primo, which is available on Freebie, which is available right here on the Roku platform is based on your, it's a semi-autobiographical based on your, on your life, Shay? Yeah, it's a family sitcom, a single camera family sitcom based, loosely based on my life growing up. In the show, you have the character who he finds out, it's the beginning of his senior year, he finds out he might have the chance to go to college, to be the first one in his family to do that. And he lives with his mom and, and, and then she's very, five very close brothers.

So he has these five uncles who sort of stand in as, as like a collective surrogate father and they all have, they all have a different opinion on what he should do and how he should do it. And that's sort of what the show is. We made it with Mike Schur, who was, I think the greatest comedy show runner of the, of this century. He did The Office, Parks and Rec, The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, like these are, that's the guy who we got to work on it with. And it turned out really, I'm very proud of it.

I'm really, really, really very happy about how it turned out. He might not be happy with the choice of the Dodger hat though. Mike Schur, Shay, you know, we have a, we have an antagonistic relationship with regard to sports. For Christmas, for example, the writer's room, we pulled our money together and we bought him an autographed Derek Jeter baseball because he's a big, you know, he's the Red Sox guy. That is not, so what do you do with it? He sold it. He gave, he did like a charity auction and they gave the, gave the money away. He wouldn't even accept the baseball.

He wouldn't even accept a spite gift. And then the worst thing is the show premiered, I flew out to LA. We had like a little premiere party for it. And he was like, Hey, I got you a gift and, and I'm a Spurs guy. I assume he's going to give me something like the Lakers, which we do not like the Lakers or the Mavericks or the Rockets or whoever. And he handed me a gift and I opened it and it was, it was an autographed basketball card of Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, a very thoughtful, sweet gift. And it just made me feel so much worse for giving him a gift. He's like a, he was like a, he's like an evil super villain and that he just knew exactly what to do to make me feel as bad as possible.

Yeah. Now don't you wish you got him a big poppy something or other, but anything, I feel like a jerk. You got the Jeter stuff, but it doesn't matter. He got the last laugh anyway.

On the Yankees. I mean, his Celtics are, have won eight in a row. He's probably feeling good. So yeah. He's feeling great. I'm sure. I'm sure.

On the bigger pockets real estate podcast, co-host David Green and Rob Abasolo interview real estate investors and entrepreneurs about successes, failures, and hard earned lessons joined by author Dave Meyer. Who wrote a book? I did write a book. It seems like you're coming out with a book every four minutes. You were wanting to talk. You've released two books this year.

I've done half as many as you. It is more about strategy than it is about just finding whatever the new buzzword happens to be. Bigger pockets, real estate podcast on YouTube or wherever you listen. Hi there. Sorry for the interruption, but are you enjoying the show on Google podcasts? You should know that the Google podcast app is going away this spring.

That's right. Going away, gone as in no longer available. You can still enjoy the show elsewhere though. Try out Spotify or Amazon music, or maybe tune in is more your style. Whatever app you switched to, be sure to follow so you never miss the next episode and thanks for listening wherever you listen. So walk me through your VHS collection over your left shoulder.

What do we have right here, sir? I mean, we have, so, so I started, I bought a couple of VHS tapes in 2017. I actually went back to find out when the first time I did it was. And I was at a thrift store and they still sell them at thrift stores. Now you get like three for a dollar or something. And I was at the thrift store.

I saw them. I grabbed a couple of just to put on a bookshelf in my office. And then I just started getting, every time I would go to the thrift store or to like the flea market or whatever, I just started grabbing more and more and more. And then I realized one day that I had like seven or 800 of them.

Well, what am I supposed to do with all the question? So I had my dad, I asked him, he's like very good at building stuff. And I said, dad, I need a, I need like a blockbuster kind of wall to put up in my office. And then he just showed up with like a drill and some tape and a bucket and, and made a, made a wall for me. So we just have on here, this, this wall holds like 440 tapes. So it's my 440 favorite tapes that are up here.

Okay. And that's what it is. It's like a silly thing. Are they cordoned off by section like a real blockbuster? Is there a comedy? Is there a drama?

Is there a canon tweed section? Like what do we got right there, Shay? What I did it all. I did it all alphabetical. That's how I did it. All right.

So, so any, like any movie that came out before 2005, if you like it, if you thought it was fun to watch, then I probably have it in here somewhere. What are you proudest of? Which one on the wall? Pull it. Oh my, Oh my God. I'm going to pull it. I'm going to, I'm going to grab it.

I'm going to grab it. There you go. There you go.

So you're in the, the A section or the B. I'm in the B section. Okay. Very good.

Here we go. This is my, maybe my favorite action movie of all time or my favorite. One of my favorite movies, not as specifically an action movie, but it's my favorite action movie star.

It's an original copy of blood sport on VHS. Come on. Come on. It took me so long to find this years to find it. Cause I don't want to go on the internet. You could buy them on the, on the eBay or whatever. Yes.

500 tapes for 500 bucks or whatever. But I like to find them in the wild. And so it takes you a long time to find it, but when you get it, Oh, it feels so good. What a rush.

Blood sport. Do you find yourself for not rewinding the tapes? I do. Yes. Yes. You know what?

Because, but you're kind. My account is in arrears. By the way, I once, I think I had a, I think I kept alien two well off of my late fee.

I think I, I might've racked up like $40 of late fees. You got alien two. That's my copy from the Staten Island blockbuster. Do you got it?

Don't play with me, bro. I kept that underneath the driver's seat of my Honda accord, my entire senior year of high school. I think. But what an increase that's if you're going to keep a tape, that's the tape to keep aliens. Perfect movie.

Perfect movie. Do you have any requests to see if we should do this every now and then? Hey everybody, sorry for the abrupt ending of our podcast, but a manhole cover blew up right next to the rich eyes and show studio and knocked all the power out. We'll be back on Tuesday with the new edition of the rich eyes and show. If the manhole cover doesn't swallow up the whole studio, the rolling stone music now podcast gets inside the biggest stories with rolling stone, senior writer, Brian Hyatt. And here's Lil Yachty with TR whack. I've never been to a fashion show. I never did any Paris fashion meet New York fashion week and I'll tell you why, because I would always go to events and people would say to me, Oh man, Yachty, man, I love your music, bro. And she'd be like, what song? I didn't even at the time, I didn't love my music. I always feel like I'm in a room with all these artists and they all respect each other and I feel like no one respects me. On stone music now, wherever you listen.
