Nestor Aparicio 01:26
look confident enough to me on Thursday night when I was spending time.
Leonard Raskin 01:29
You know, the team didnโt look confident to me. A lot of bad swings when when Anthony Santander gets the golden sombrero Oh, for for strikeout pressing. Thatโs exactly what I was gonna say. Bases loaded, no outs, they get one run Adly comes up swings at the first pitch hits into a double play. What is going on?
Nestor Aparicio 01:50
Well, Iโd say by the time people listen to this early next week, ravens do their thing and Cincinnati and this week. But as we sit here right now, in the beginning of this, I want to be nervous for a minute that we can get into other things. Yeah. Iโm not ready for like two weeks of back and forth trying to just avoid the by and then having to deal with whatever this weekend is every day. Playoff baseball is right now. Itโs nerve racking. Itโs
Leonard Raskin 02:21
right now look, these guys are young. Theyโve never been here that they a couple of things. I think first theyโve never been in this situation. Okay, theyโre not theyโre not the underdog. Theyโre the favorite. Going into the series are in first place. You got to split stadiums getting full stadiums getting full Friday night sold out for Adam Jones. You got to split you got to end this series, right where you started at worst you gotta be to up. And so you know, nobody went Mike Tyson say everybodyโs got a plan until they get punched in the face. Well, yeah. And the line got punched in the face. But but the thing is, every game, every game was tampered this year has been tight. Itโs been one run games. Thereโs been some extra inning. Itโs been tough. Theyโre two really good teams.
Nestor Aparicio 03:01
Well in the you might see him again a couple weeks now. Right. Right, man.
Leonard Raskin 03:05
So this is a big series. They got to they got to split and I think theyโre pressing. I think the President I think the other thing is a lot of these kids you look at I mean, look, Gunner crushed a home run still, but he hadnโt played this many games. These guys are pitchers especially these guys right? Theyโre throwing Bradish through a beautiful game you give up for thatโs okay. Thatโs okay. But for when I was sitting with you know, three of the four three of the for the other one was a blast later. But, but I think depression a little. I think pitchers are throwing it out a little. But all in all, they just have to win got to take you got to split series, and and play like theyโve been playing all year. Just do what theyโve done. They donโt have to do anything extra that just do what theyโve done.
Nestor Aparicio 03:49
Well, one of the things about you sponsoring the show and give me this Crazy Crab mallet, you have an annual event thatโs coming up in a couple of weeks for all of your friends, clients, everybody in your life. Yep. And it always always is a crab feast. Absolutely. It was always crabs, crabs, and you know your Baltimore guy not to bring you to fade Leeโs I said to you, youโve been famous for you like yeah, of course. Iโve been failures, everybody and had been families lately. Well, itโs been a little while back. You brought people here?
Leonard Raskin 04:17
I did. We had a conference, National Conference of not just financial advisors, but it was people from all business walks of life. It was a how to produce better results in your business. Okay, it was what what are the things youโre missing in your process that will help you up up your business enhance your service model? I think the best best analogy I can use is make your business more Disney like okay. How do you Wow souped up how do you wow your folks. And one of the things that Disney trained his his managers his people to do is I donโt remember the exact name of it. I think itโs I think itโs called one The upper or x Upper 10x up or whatever it is. But the goal was, how do we do things better, stronger, faster and make people happier at Disney? And then when we get that down? How do we do it just a little bit better. And that was what this conference was about. How do we do things just a little bit better to make people more excited, more happy and motivated. People hear the one like a crab cake and what well, they they we had a lunch we had it was a two day conference. And we had lunch and lunch was on your own breakfast and dinner were provided by the conference lunch was on your own and weโre in Baltimore. They said, What do we do for food and the guy had a list. He had a traditional you come from people from out of town, you hand them a list of a dozen places, you can go to lunch once you get to a Cheesecake Factory in Baltimore. Right? Right. So are xootr still open? I donโt even know. Anyway, Hooters

We went up and a free plug for Ramona Tsuki fantastic place. Really. Itโs a great place. And I we got some quick Japanese food which very quickly, but we walked past the Hyatt. And we looked over and the first thing my wifeโs like, hi, stay in business in that new location. Because the old location was great, right? I did show there many times. Right? Yeah.

Well, they had to listen to you that right. So they said Where should we go? So we should go to fade? Leeโs so weโre down at the harbor doesnโt have us walked over. They said what do we get? So what do you get? You get a crab cake. What do you mean? What do you number one? Maybe you get a crab cake. So we walked in? They said okay, where do we sit down? I said you donโt sit down. You walk through the line. You get your food. You come over here

Yeah, you gotta go burger cookies, baby. Come on. If youโre doing crabs, okay, hereโs my thing. Your real Baltimore guy do crabs. You do vanilla ice cream after vanilla ice cream.

Thatโs what Iโm about. All right. Thatโs what weโre
Nestor Aparicio 10:57
thatโs it let Raskin Raskin global he loves sports as much as you do. He loves the American dream as well. Heโs got a great crab feast coming so the story behind this thing you said you have trouble getting these?
Leonard Raskin 11:06
Well, we we found them and we wanted to get them for our crab feast our annual crab feast. Find some friends seeing these Namie right. Yeah. And and we found this with a bottle opener on the end. And I said that that is magnificent. And we went online thatโs Disney there is thatโs a wow, there is one supplier of these. Thatโs it one place where we found them.
Nestor Aparicio 11:30
And patent pending. Eu seven knows ID or no. Oh 706090 Made in USA
Leonard Raskin 11:38
and the gal that makes them the company that makes them because I guess the plague had supply chain issues and couldnโt guarantee us that they could produce enough of them in time for the crab feast. Like Oh, no. So
Nestor Aparicio 11:53
you got more now youโre gonna backordered ahead. Okay. So we
Leonard Raskin 11:57
have a stash of these for people that if they come in and want one we can give you
Nestor Aparicio 12:02
one Iโve been holding this one up. I carry my bag with my window nation had in mind my lottery tickets, Iโll get some Jiffy Lube swag to summon carry with me the whole time. Itโs clean. And I kept telling him weโre gonna go eat crabs. We ate crabs together, but six weeks ago, and I didnโt bring it right. So weโre over Costas. Iโm banging crabs. And I said I forgot your mallet. And then my wife bought crab legs. She made a big vat of crab soup. It had all that okra and stuff that you guys made fun of. It was so delicious. Made in Labor Day weekend. So good. She brought him crab legs. And they were in the soup. And she didnโt want to mess with them. And theyโre all washed out because theyโve been in the soup anyway, but Iโll eat them. So sheโs like, this is a crab melon in the drawer. And I reached in. And it was the used one that I didnโt even know we had I said go how do we get to? That was mine from last year. Iโm like, oh, so I used it when
Leonard Raskin 12:58
we give it to people coming into the crab feast. But some people donโt want to use it. So they we have regular ones for the for if you want to use it. As far as Iโm concerned, if you donโt use it didnโt serve its purpose. Itโs to be used
Nestor Aparicio 13:12
to be used to be open and to
Leonard Raskin 13:14
use it to open up here. Itโs fantastic. So playoffs and
Nestor Aparicio 13:18
playoff tickets and playoff money. I want to talk to you about this. I had a dear friend of mine, who lives in Dundalk. Iโve known her whole life. She had some tickets. She had some financial challenges. I bought a couple tickets from her Thursday night for the game. I think I saw you out there. And she said I canโt afford the playoff tickets. Then I was with a friend whoโs a business owner who runs a business and got the order got the order form. So itโs $12,000 to buy the playoffs. Wow.
Leonard Raskin 13:49
How many tickets? That canโt be one seat.
Nestor Aparicio 13:53
Thatโs 11 potential games. Right? Right. But
Leonard Raskin 13:57
how leverage potential games how many seats for four seats? Okay, so how much was that? 12 grand, itโs three grand, three grand strip for 11 tickets. Okay. I was gonna say 12 grand one ticket that would be ridiculous. So grant thatโs thatโs, thatโs, thatโs going so.
Nestor Aparicio 14:13
The cityโs about to get an awakening on this. And Iโve talked about it, it makes it makes me
Leonard Raskin 14:20
itโs gonna sell out. Iโm telling you people are gonna buy it. Itโs such. I mean, whenโs the last time we we were in the playoffs with hope?
Nestor Aparicio 14:27
Iโm not here to say you wonโt sell out. Iโm saying that the price structure of her yeah. Is going to be fascinating for the fans. Yeah. Who this week didnโt want to spend $6 $8 to go out there. Just to see leave
Leonard Raskin 14:43
how few people were there to see Tampa. Yeah, I couldnโt believe
Nestor Aparicio 14:48
our fan bases like loves giveaways. They love shirts. Right? Do they love winning baseball at $200 a throw for playoff tickets? I
Leonard Raskin 14:58
donโt know. Weโll find out Well, we
Nestor Aparicio 15:00
spend a lot of money on football tickets in this city you darn right we donโt have any problem saying you have eight games. Ravens played to Texas last week. How much did you spend in your tickets?
Leonard Raskin 15:09
Minor season tickets? Okay, but but your club seat club seat tickets, I think 400 bucks a ticket, something like that.
Nestor Aparicio 15:16
Thatโs thatโs an outrageously high number right is now. So two and a quarter for a baseball playoff game doesnโt sound
Leonard Raskin 15:25
out of line, are you? Right? Because itโs a special once in a lifetime? I hope not. But once in a while. Itโs been a while. Right last last playoff game I went to was Detroit. But how much is too much?
Nestor Aparicio 15:41
I mean, youโre youโre a guy with means you can stroke a check. I mean, you
Leonard Raskin 15:45
gotta lose if I go so I canโt spend anything. Heโs not going.
Nestor Aparicio 15:51
Question. If I were taking phone calls from people today, and do it for 115 70 I could sit here all day and take phone calls just by saying how much would you pay not? Because you hit the lotto? whereโs the whereโs the seat that doesnโt get in? To get into court?
Leonard Raskin 16:10
They gotta have no thatโs not. Thatโs not. Thatโs not 3000 for the series. No, no, no, no, Iโm saying I donโt know where his seats were it but Iโm saying what? 50 bucks? I mean, how much of those seats six bucks?
Nestor Aparicio 16:22
Is that what it is? You think itโs $50 to get in the World Series game?
Leonard Raskin 16:25
Is it six bucks to stay to the flag court? Yeah, eight bucks. 10 bucks. You think theyโre gonna be 100? For standing room?
Nestor Aparicio 16:31
For World Series? Yeah. For the World Series. The standing room will be 650
Leonard Raskin 16:36
No way. No way. Canโt be. Canโt be.
Nestor Aparicio 16:40
Iโve watched this for year after year. This is what Iโm telling you. This is what itโs gonna be like I do this every year on StubHub to try to figure it out. And
Leonard Raskin 16:48
youโre saying youโre saying resale?
Nestor Aparicio 16:51
Youโre saying from the origin the Oreos? Maybe 275? Maybe three and a quarter? Okay. Oh, look at this. Look at that, you know youโre facing these when you see this right. Is that
Leonard Raskin 17:01
beautiful? Beautiful, beautiful? No, Iโm
Nestor Aparicio 17:03
asking you what youโre willing to spend? Yeah. If I if I had World Series tickets for you right now and said another terrorist box are down the third base side there. Section 62 or whatever that is. We call it down. The third base? Couple 100. Throwback couple Oh couple 100 for World Series, which couple hundreds at 200 800.
Leonard Raskin 17:23
Iโd go 500 A ticket
Nestor Aparicio 17:26
you might get in for that go far might get in 500. You might get in, but you might not. Well, thereโs one Iโm taking and itโs good. It depends who they play to. Of course, the Braves donโt have fans like me. They donโt barely fill their their stadium for a World Series if they were playing the Phillies in the World Series. Come down to pretty that will make the ticket $900 1000. The film was on StubHub if you wanted to go to a Phillies World Series game last year. Yeah. And just walk in? Yep. It was it was $1,100. I mean, it wasnโt. It wasnโt like, it wasnโt three and a quarter letโs get in the car and go to a World Series game. Three and a quarter. So my wife and I if you were to say to me right now, I got tickets for game two of the World Series your wife and you know, we did the game Thursday made a good time and a really good Thursday. We did not have a bad time. We did not have an $800 Night kind of time. I got a World Series. And my wife and I talked about this. We got home on the way home we talked about it. I said, Jeff on the night sheโs like, Yeah, I had a great time. Iโve been to a billion baseball games. Iโve been to 58 World Series games in my life, right? I said to my wife Alright, our financial situation right now what you always preach to both of us. Yep. No, no, no your role, you know, know how much you spent, how much you go spend, Springsteen, how much you spend on all this. I donโt know that. I would front 1000 bucks for two tickets for a World Series game right now. I love this team of I donโt know that. Iโm that guy. For game two. I think I think Iโm out. I think Iโm out at three 600 bucks repair something like that. Anything more than that? Iโm out. And hereโs the other part. Theyโre gonna play playoffs Yep, theyโre gonna play championship league championship yet before you get there. Those tickets are not theyโre going to be buck and a half to walk in the first round two and a half to walk in the second round. You go to a couple three games, youโre going to be two three grand deep in already before the World Series happens. This is just something that Iโm talking to people about. And people are seeing invoices and theyโre like, Well, I donโt have a $12,000 check right now to write to the Orioles. A notion that maybe they play seven games in the playoffs. And then you roll my five grand into season tickets next year thatโs leftover. People are cracking it that a little bit and I and Leonard no offense to you and your foreigner dollar. Youโre used to it. Yeah, the club levels used to oh, people fork it out. They pay it they donโt have any problem by any means that this is a different thing. Yeah. Where are you at? 40,000 fresh sheet. Yes. And that the fan base they currently have right now. Thatโs they barely been here. Want to get people to give 10 bucks? Yep. And go down there. Yep, this is gonna be a cold shower and I, I fear for empty seats in the playoffs I do.
Leonard Raskin 20:08
Thatโd be a bad look. Again last playoff game I went to was Detroit packed. No, no, we sat in the left field. I donโt know why we sat there. left field outfield which is now like, the splash zone or something. I donโt remember what their tickets were. But it was outstanding. It was a great time we had a ball. That ticket I donโt think is the same as the behind the home plate ticket where Cal Ripken. But I think that ticket will be available. I think people will
Nestor Aparicio 20:40
pay I think tickets are going to be available because of the price is what Iโm talking if the face value is 250 bucks. That sounds like half price to you for a football game for you. Yeah, Iโm just saying for the people that have been going to these games. A $250 Second round playoff degree is going to be tough awakening, my son and I went to one of the Kansas City Games and Iโll never forget this. The tickets were expensive and we I was on at that time StubHub, not Sikhi. Stop off Steve 1014 My son and Iโd only been to one playoff game in his life together went to Philadelphia for like a Phillies Rockies wildcard game 20 years he was a kid. And because I wanted to take him to a playoff game because Angeloโs will never you will never be in the playoffs here. So 1214 and 16 happens. My kids 30 at the time in 2014. We were sitting in Reggieโs eaten some Reggie fries, Reggieโs was still open, and we were contemplating whether weโre gonna go back to my condo, watch it on TV, or whether we were going to get a last minute ticket tickets dropped tickets prices were dropped, right? Whether it was it was cold, itโs another thing. Itโs cold. Itโs cold. So
Leonard Raskin 21:51
weโre gonna have snow I paid
Nestor Aparicio 21:52
220 bucks, maybe total? For a pair? Yep. $100 a ticket. We sat 15 rows behind the dugout, third base, and thatโs gonna be
Leonard Raskin 22:03
there. I think itโs gonna be there. And
Nestor Aparicio 22:07
youโre willing to game for the playoffs? Iโm
Leonard Raskin 22:09
in if youโre willing to go downtown so much youโre willing to come downtown, hang out. And these days. One of the things that I donโt like about the technology of the world today is my tickets on here. You hate that? I hate it. Because if I got a couple extras, what the heck do you do with a couple extra tickets on your phone? How do you get the guy walking down the street saying I want anybody need tickets. I need tickets. You got to buy him heโs got to give you pay pal or whatever, right? Heโs got to put your money in and then you got to send them the tickets. You canโt just hand the guy that tickets, get a couple bucks of cash and go on about your business. But to that extent, on the other side, if youโre willing to come downtown, hang out at the harbor, hang out and get a crack. At least and and have your phone going on. StubHub Seat Geek Ticketmaster, and youโre watching the prices and the game. And itโs a top of the first, right that ticket. Somebodyโs eaten it. Youโre gonna be able to buy it for 50 bucks. All right, Iโm telling you. Somebodyโs gonna come back. Weโll talk about somebodyโs either gonna have nothing, or beer money. What are they gonna choose? Theyโre gonna take your beer money. Theyโre gonna sell a ticket for 50 bucks. 100 bucks. Youโre gonna buy it. Youโre gonna go watch the game. And the commercials you know, the commercials where the two people are standing next to each other at the hotel. And two different prices paid. When have you ever been in a hotel where you do what you paid for the room? They told you itโs at the front desk. You paid 99 $129
Nestor Aparicio 23:44
So no,
Leonard Raskin 23:49
but thatโs nonsense. Itโs a funny commercial. The guyโs like oh, are you paid 99 I only paid 69 Haha, but you go to the game. You sit down next to that guy and you say I got this ticket for 50 bucks and he says he got his for 300 Youโre gonna be an unhappy guy.
Nestor Aparicio 24:05
Well, you have a good seat either way. Let her ask you to get ready for playoff baseball as well as football season here. Itโs all brought to you by the Maryland lottery conjunction with our friends at Jiffy Lube. We have new sponsors and when donation 866 90 nation I am enjoying having the windows open right now and the breeze. Fall has fallen upon us any I am a late tax guy.

Final personal taxes due October 15. Thatโs fine. If youโre ready to file thatโs good. But I work with a lot of people and Iโd say well letโs letโs make sure that weโre proactive for next year. Weโre doing the thing Heโs coming into the last quarter of the year in April to get to get right for next year. And sadly, people donโt plan. They file and then they go, Oh my God. And their accountant says to him, You coulda you should your mighta Well, where were you in September of last year telling me what I could have should have mighta for this year, so get right now, next year is common. Get with your advisors right now. Sit with your accountant, sit with your business advisor, sit with your financial advisor, your team of people and the idea is what should we be doing this last quarter to be ready for December 31. And then next yearโs taxes get done? Whether itโs April or October or whatever, and you can say wow, thatโs outstanding. We did. We did the right things at the end of 23. To do the right thing for our tax bill and 24
