I liked this episode: less jokes and exuberance, more straight shooting and vulnerability. Thanks for putting out this content Rudy!
I used to be a Patreon member, but one time I mentioned how salty Rudy's step sister's taco tasted and he never invited me over for dinner again.
🤣 gold
69 likes lol
Anyone who adds, or takes away, one 'like' from this comment is an asshole
@@TryMyFrenchToast man it's perfect 🤣
The biggest question is when do we rise up and demand the return of the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco at Taco Bell?
No, seriously.
Careful those will give you diarrhea. Then again everything at taco bell will give you diarrhea.
@Joshua Farshid if Taco Bell gives you diarrhea it's because your bloodline is weak.
We don't call it "Taco Hell" for nothing. Already started the morning off with a breakfast burrito and spent a half hour in the bathroom. Lmao 😂
Tbh I like taco bell. But I like the memes about it giving you diarrhea even more.
Rudy's "we live in a short-life" monologue moved me. I needed to hear that today..
One thing I learned about collecting cardboard, is never throw something out until you do a price check.
One thing I learned about collecting cardboard is never throw something out.
Though I guess my collection is a little smaller than some of yours.
Even then you don't know what the future may bring. I used to take a sharpie and use tape to color in the border to all my white border cards because they clashed with my black border stuff.
I sold off all my old cards because I could never use them because the only supported formats were always either limited draft/sealed or standard then they changed the game after and all that stuff became relevant again.
Appreciate you're videos my dude. You aren't here to take a loss. You have a unique channel that shows a seller's view of the Wotc world from a retail stand point.
Rudy is just mad that I’ve circumvented his multiple ban attempts with all my alts and refuses to answer for his $4,000 donation to the Hamburglar during his infamous 1998 Taco Town Comptroller campaign.
Too funny
Y'all crack me up with the memes. 😂
Finally, an entire video featuring Rudy answering questions about his floppy taco.
To this day, I still use “Dig a hole and be a carrot” with my kids. IMO, it’s such a positive message and not to sweat the small stuff.
3:00 this speech is very deep, filled with meaning and wisdom. I'm glad nearly (or more) 9000 people have seen it and I hope this "focus on priorities, people, love and being benevolent" will spread like a lighthouse's light in the dark sea of troubles. Thank you ^^
Don't mention the Lighthouse.....it's from Rudy's ex....The ULTIMATE lighthouse
Rudy. I do not own a single Magic card. I do not know how to play the game. I’m frankly not even that interested in learning. But I watch your videos almost every day, even the box openings. How weird is that? Thanks for entertaining the hell out of me, my ex wife and the Maytag repair man when we’re all in the same room together.
same here man!
That's what we call a party pack not good for marriages or relationships but they sure are fun
I'm in the same boat here! Haven't purchased a Magic set since 1994 (wish I kept those cards :) ) However, I love looking at alternative investment strategies and love Rudy's outlook on the different markets outside of Wall-Street.
I just want rudy to say off camera and in a goblin voice "I'm never going away because I love business and there's nothing you can do about it"
Really I don't collect what you're selling, but I listen to for your opinion on, life and business!
I appreciate all your videos. I am a relatively new viewer, but I find your perspective and insight is great!
Great first answer Rudy. You rock! Much Love.
Agree with you 100% on politics, Rudy. Not 69%, 100%.
I'm alwais here no matter what watching learning and commenting, but I have to admit the Rudy 30th anniversary run of video was probably the best streak of video ever
Rudy, you have been an amazing tool for my thoughts into how i would scale my little hustle. Just your mindset in business and in MTG is a great way to remind me to keep my blinders on and just keep following my "rules" and to not fear the FOMO. Thank you for what you're doing
If it wasn't for a Rudy video being recommended to me in 2020 I wouldn't be working at my LGS today 😂
This is an awesome video. Ive been a fan for years and you're a big reason I got back into magic. I like your transparency on these issues.
You are so right about not talking about politics and how all of the politicians are multimillionaires. Thanks for the video.
Thats half of the story.
I am a patron and didn’t buy the 6.9 year anniversary kit, but that was because of a personal financial issue due to a medical emergency. If I could have I would have bought it even with all of the conflicting responses to the sale. Love Alpha Investments.
I love the truthfulness of this!
I love this type of video. Keep the machine going!!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
this has become my podcast for driving
I honestly like you more as a person and youtuber than the whole card scam thing lol
I was doing something and listened to whole thing... excellent peak behind the curtain
I am here cause I enjoy the investment content
Rudy doing the job no other RUclips creator will do
You hit the politic stance absolutely on point bro 🔥🔥
Rudy - for the next time you do a "Random Questions" video. If you were able to add 3 cards to the Reserved List, that you think shouldn't be reprinted again (for whatever reason) what would they be?
Rudy doesn't play magic, only collects little squares of cardboard.
Stop trying to get me to open my sealed 6.9 kit Rudy! It’s tighter then a Tuesday taco!
I was on Patreon, but my debit card had expired. Unfortunately did not pay attention to the email when it dropped. Still here to support Alpha Investments & Taco Bell
Great conversation dude
Rudy Exposing the Uniparty 😆
Rudy, this is the best video of encouragement that I have ever seen you make in the first 3 minutes! Glad I am back with the paterons! OG from 2016!
RUDY! Is that a silver bar on your shelf? 😍
Ty for the quality video mister taco man we appreciate your public services
Literally opening popcorn for this
My big question is: How do you keep your cardboard safe when a big storm is rolling in with 30-50 foot waves and flooding going on?
Appreciate everything you create!
Your take on politics and how to spend the limited time we have is wonderful. I’m glad someone is doing it right. Thanks for the video.
Love the content. Remember people's... Rudy doesn't do adds or promo for face creams, deodorant, or lawnmowers for your hotdog weiner and for that he deserves a thumbs 👍
Can't wait to hear Rudy's take on Sorcery when it comes out.
Love the George Orwell 1984 book coupled with the Wall Street DVD. Pure quality.
It’s shit like this that make me love Rudy, and remind me why I’ve been watching this guy for like 4 years
Thank you for this!
Rudy reads the comments section? We are truly living in The Matrix..
This post Magic 30th world is wild
Pretty sure he doesnt read the buried replies though 🤔🌮
Oh you mean he scans the comments and selects a few that peak his interest
@@jfkshouldofducked4348 indeed
I love Rudy! Rudy is the best!
its not about focusing on things that keep you agitated. Its about leveling the playing field again. the playing field has become so uneven it is at a point it needs to change. so its about focusing on what is right.
Rudy has had a great work ethic and care for the people who purchase product from him. For example, I purchased some individual cards from him on eBay. I left a message for him on my purchase saying keep up the good work on RUclips. The items were lost in the mail. I emailed him about it, he refunded the money. A month later, I received the items. I emailed him to let him know. He was pleasant to chat with and I paid him back for the product. He even left a thanks on the envelope on my product.
Interactions like that really show how much a person cares for their business and buyers of his product. Keep up the great work Rudy!
FOOOOLKS!
Rudy, did you see what Yugioh is doing with their 25th anniversary? It really is that easy to do an anniversary release.
Here's another question. Do TCG distributors get high off their own supply?
content like this hones my mind
right on rudy! spend time on things that matter to you and make you happy. My general quality of life has significantly improved when I stopped giving a F about what joe schmoe says online
ill say, the MTG cinimatic videos they are pushing out for the new Phyrexia set is INSANELY GOOD. Credit deserved
THIS MAN IS A LEGEND, KEEP IT UP SIR!!!!
Black market for Cool Ranch powder. Bring the power, this powdered power, to the people.
“Wife’s boyfriend” 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 OMG! Rudy that is so funny, I’ve never heard that one….
2:06 Rudy for president
Rudy for President of Shiny Cardboard!
love you rudy, your the best!
Such a good video Rudy👏👏
Rudy your awesome never stop being real
Someone just commented something unkind on my video and the YT filter caught it. I didn’t even see it for months until I checked the “held for review” section
When I heard you tee up the politics question I thought "oh boy, here we go". But it was actually a reasonable answer, 👍
Rudy playing Lemmings with the RUclips commentators! ;-)
I see that silver cert. Thanks! Want more silver certs and legos!
I got banned by Rudy after trying to figure out what happened to my shirt order on eBay. It was a real feel bad moment because I haven’t even purchased anything in like a year from Rudy, still paid the $15 a month though. If I wanted to get banned or do fraudulent things it makes sense to go big on booster boxes, not a shirt. Never got the shirt either. Just asked where the shirt was through eBay because the tracking never updated and it had been a few weeks. No communication just a ban on a separate platform and I can still purchase from him on eBay. Not being hateful, just saying people fall through the cracks
That's rough. I'm surprised to see that you still watch the videos after what had happened.
I'm sure things could have been resolved somehow...seems to me this is the direct result of Rudy's utmost desire to do everything by himself. Dude, you're running a rather large enterprise....find some reliable people to help you...
I absolutely opened up the MetaZoo pack, looked at this lizard man staring at me, and had no clue what it was.
Years long watcher, almost 0 comments in that time. Had to say hell yeah to this video my man
Rudy bent me over during mh1.
Those pins are dope AF I was trying to find some for sale.
I’m British. I’ve never been a Patron, but I’ve been here from the beginning. I’m a 🥕🏴☠️
Me a carrot just chilling watching Rudy vids 🥕
“Metazoo UFO has actually stabilised pretty well” y’know… except for the Booster Boxes selling at $40 on TCGplayer down from their $140 MSRP 😳🙄 I collect Metazoo and did love it but I have serious concerns about the game - I can’t help but feel Rudy is glazing over it’s huge flaws
The first answer sounded much like a political answer
Ah, Flesh and Blood... I chucked some money into sets like ARC unlim when it was ~£40 a box thinking meh I don't care much what happens to it. It's gone up to over £100 a box already. I should've cared more 😂
Yeah I saw that! Suprised at how well it's done in the UK. New card games usually struggle to get a foothold here.
More folks need to listen to and absorb what was said here about politics. That was superb, good sir.
Most normal people when they see prices increase, just go to a different type of storefront. for instance my lgs is selling draft boxes of dominaria remastered for 230 with their discount, just went online and ordered one for 180 instead. People who complain about the price to the storefront just don't understand the opportunity cost most of the time. different stores sell for different rates because of their location. If a product is too high its because that's the most popular product, and the store wants to make their money's worth due to their limited supply. I don't like the price, but there's nothing I can do about it since there's no other local competition for magic products for at least 20 miles and convience is a big key factor for me when deciding to make a purchase at my lgs.
Ban! Bam 'em! Ban 'em all! Ban the bums!
Regarding your comments on politics: NAILED IT!!!!!! The country would be so much better if we were for something, and we could start with being for each other, and not simply “anti-the other guy/gal”. I gotta send you a Party Pack for that one, Rudy!!!!! Bravo!!!
That doesn't really work if one side is "We accept people" and the other is "No, all those people are child molesters and deserve to die."
Your attitude towards what ppl think of you is low key goals.
and it's an act. as fake as a 3 dollar bill.
@@persuasivebarrier2419 You’re one of those haters huh…???
@@dannydubs i think he's a business trying not to lose customers. i'd rather hear him say that.
@@persuasivebarrier2419 To be fair he has on several occassions.
I'm centrist so I vote with my heart
Great video Rudy. Not a collector but loved those 6.9 boxes.
Regarding the 6.9 anniversary kits, I think having a variation of pins and colored dice would have made them more valuable. If there was 20 different pins, and you only got 5 per kit, people would want to collect and buy the ones they are missing. You probably didn't need to spend so much on making the box look so premium and having the fancy plastic sheet inside too. I would have rather paid $50 less per kit for ones with a non 'premium' box (especially as the expected value of the kits went down by so much after they were created). I still have my 4 kits sealed, so it gives me hope that one of the artist proof gemkeeper cards is inside.
Having variation would have jacked up the price. It costs a company time to change equipment over to make varying product. So if you have small runs the company making them is going to ask for more money.
@@gregpenismith1248 True, I didn't think of that. At that point, maybe having some 'limited time only' merch would have been the way to go. That way people could buy the products they really want, instead of having to buy the whole kit.
@@pawpatrolnews I think it would be cool to do another run of just the pins.
Rudy, I got my phone and wired earbuds listening to your video in one ear. In my other ear, another set of wired earbuds plugged into my Sony Walkman. Jamming out to one of my mix CD's from early 90's I made in Middle School in the other. Jay-Z, Snoop, the Dr, Eminem, Beastie Boys, Daft Punk, etc. I can't help but agree with you about politics and life advice. As I'm sitting in my sofa chair/ recliner, "Poppin Bottles," literally, all I have to say to you bro is, "word." My evening is freakin radical man, hope yours is to dude.
Thanks Rudy for spitting some truth today I sure needed that thank you 💯
@user-jb1on8ub6d thank you I sure will
I was a Patreon for a short time. Just didn’t like the way the shipping was. Booster boxes came in dinged as it wasn’t shipped well, but still a fan of the channel itself. Probably one of my favorite people to listen to.
I'm not gonna lie when I see the box openings with titles like "Rudy hoses timmy and steals his tacos" I am expecting some hot pulls from it
Watching from a European perspective, I dont think one should generally mistrust in everybody involved in politics. The last 200 years of US history have been a historically exceptional success. So many great things have been achieved, there surely have been some good leaders doing good things from both parties. Mistrust isnt generally a clever attitude. There are still reasons to trust. But there is one very wise thing you said: The system wirh its tribalism and partisanship and only two parties does not work anymore, given the complexity of our time. Maybe abandoning the electoral college and the two-party-system, forbidding financial donations for political parties by companies and forbidding gerrymandering would be first steps. But I know that there are many wise scholars in your country discussing these things. I still believe in the creativity and strength of the American people. Its the best chance freedom has on this planet. You gotta stick together and develop a new deal for your society! Best wishes from Europe!
Thanks for kind words. Libertarian party is a good place to start. If you don’t really like either candidate, it’s not a waste to vote for a 3rd or 4th party. Keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is well the definition of crazy by some. As Rudy said, some good democrats some good republicans and or their policies. Just surprised how much personal it’s become, and not ideals. I’ve lived outside the states for nearly 20 years.
Gotten a wider perspective, Europe seems to be banding more and more together (sad for Brexit but I guess currency control and immigration was a big topic).
Australia and New Zealand, plus north America with the EU and GB, let’s hope asean countries join more and more the work and trade basis of living.
Only a few communist controlled countries left. Let’s hope Putin’s last hurrah is successfully defeated. And makes China think twice about invading Taiwan. NK will implode on itself or stay a minor rogue like Iran.
Many social problems all over the world, but yes America does do some really good things.
Not politically active, but after so many years alive, I do start to care about such things.
@@JoeCamarillo And it is important to care. Better than resignation. Thanks for your reply.
There was no reference to cats, that saddens me. Deeply
Great video Rudy
Oh boy famous last words
you gave an extremely politician response to that political question for a guy who "doesn't really pay attention." 🙄
also i just want to say i have legitimate respect for you for doing this
Awesome stuff as alwaya Rudy, big fan for years, long timr subscriber, rare commenter (you wont see it anyways) but I honestly find it hard to belive that you really though that the pins in the 6.9 kit would be a big success? They are a nothing, its like bulk commons. Neat, necessary for draft but ultimately worthless.
That is an incredibly myopic take. No where else can you get those pins. For people that enjoy Rudy's content and collecting things like pins they are probably really cool.
haven't played magic in 10+ years, will always love it, but what is the go to dish. that meal that just wins
I don't know why, but I truly do appreciate the time he takes to talk to us as an audience of individuals with the weirdest questions.
No wants to hear from you brown noser, Rudy is not going to offer you some special deal
Always answers my random questions on Patreon
No it’s not. You get upset about something he immediately cuts u off. Without talking thru it. I was loyal to u Rudy and always bragged about your influence.
This why we love you
Followed this channel for years. First comment. Banned patron here. Not sure what I did. But I'm sure I did it. I went through the too many patreons I backed and apparently eliminated this one too. Not intended, but I've been able to reapply. I literally had only been a Patron for 1-2 months. I tried your Facebook page/messenger. Please help!
