Nothing's happening. Number one on the Roper Report.

9:06Andy Cortez:GameStop makes a daring$56 billion bid for eBay, hoping to rival Amazon. We go to CNN, where Hannah Zadies has a report. GameStop has offered to buy e-commerce giant eBay for$55.5 billion, a tie-up that the video game retailer's boss believes could produce a quote legit competitor to amazon okay the offer comes amid something of a revival at ebay which has pushed to reinvent itself in the face of rising competition from the likes of walmart amazon sheen and facebook marketplace gamestop which became a household name during the mean stock craze of 2021 has offered$125 per share for eBay, half in cash and half in stock, the company announced Sunday.

9:54Andy Cortez:That represents a 46 % premium to eBay's closing share price on February 4th, the day GameStop started building a 5 % stake in the company. It's an audacious bid, targeting a business nearly four times its size. As of Friday, GameStop was worth$11.9 billion, while eBay was valued at 46.2 billion dollars according to fact sheet data ebay's shares were up nine percent in pre-market trading while gamestop shares pointed to a sharply weaker opening after gaining 6.3 percent on friday in a letter to the chair of ebay gamestop ceo ryan cohen said the company would cut costs at ebay and make it more profitable he also sees benefits in combining gamestop's brick and mortar stores with eBay's online presence.

10:41Andy Cortez:Quote, GameStop's about 1 ,600 U.S. locations give eBay a national network for authentication, intake, fulfillment, and live commerce, he noted. Quote, it could be a legit competitor to Amazon, Cohen said about eBay in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. GameStop plans to fund the buyout through cash and debt, which includes a commitment from TD Securities for up to$20 billion. Launched in 1995, eBay remains among the top U.S. retail e-commerce sites, but has lost market share as the field has widened, according to eMarketer, a market research company. The company got a boost from the COVID-19 pandemic, didn't we all?

11:21Andy Cortez:And has tried to build on that momentum by investing in artificial intelligence. Jesus, a decision that has endeared its shareholders. eBay's share price is up around 52 % over the past year, and the stock has gained 188 % since the start of 2020. Last week, eBay reported a 19 % increase in first quarter revenue. It said that its gross merchandise volume, or the total value of all transactions between users, jumped 18 % to$22.2 billion. GameStop shot to fame five years ago during the meme stock craze, when an army of retail investors piled into the stock, sending its value soaring in an attempt to squeeze professional traders who are betting that the company's share price would fall.

12:07Andy Cortez:The company's brick-and-mortar business has struggled against a shift among its customers to online streaming and digital downloads. Cohen has led GameStop since January 2021. During his tenure, the company has swung from a$381 million net loss in 2021 to a$418 million of net income in the latest financial year, ending January 31st. Tim there's a lot of numbers I threw around yeah you did there's a lot to talk about but I do want to pull in a piece of context from Aftermath's Luke Plunkett's reporting okay as Reuters points out this is both an unusual and very risky deal two paragraphs from Reuters now a potential deal would upend the usual M &A that's merger and acquisitions of course playbook as it is rare for a company to target one nearly four times its size such deals typically rely on heavy debt, stock insurance, or both, banking on future earnings of the combined company to justify the cost.

13:05Andy Cortez:Cohen said he has lined up financial commitments, including a commitment letter for about$20 billion in debt from TD Bank, and may seek backing from external investors, including Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, to fund the deal. We're back to Luke. In other words, the deal would saddle the company with enormous amounts of debt and seems reliant on a source of finance that, as we've literally only just discussed, is very much starting to dry up. If you're wondering why GameStop would bother, you might find the answer in the fact we talked about this on Games Daily and how fucking crazy this was.

13:36Andy Cortez:If you're wondering why GameStop would bother, you might find the answer in the fact that CEO Ryan Cohen, who publicly claims he currently receives no compensation for his role, will be paid$35 billion if he can get the company's value to$100 billion, a moonshot that a deal like this seems specifically tailored towards ding ding ding ding ding i remember when we talked about like how would this be possible how could you even do that there's a simple answer buy ebay yeah i when this headline broke over the weekend i looked at it i'm like oh that's really interesting ebay buying game stop that might wait no wait that'll save some things no the fucking guy the company that has so many spears in it has been bleeding for years Man, I mean, the snake's on a planification, but it actually worked of the whole meme stock thing of like saving GameStop from certain death.

14:25Yeah, because now they have an insane amount of money because a bunch of people were like, fuck, we're going to disrupt this entire thing. And here we are with all the stonks and blah, blah, blah. This is just wild, though. And it sucks because I love eBay. It has problems. It's gotten really shitty over the years in some ways. It's gotten really good in others. I actually use it a fair amount to buy stuff. Okay. And I leave them alone. You know what I mean? Go buy open AI. Go buy something that we want to die. You know what I mean? Buy something to fuck up. Buy something to kill. But yeah, man, this is ridiculous.

14:56But yeah, we can easily kind of tie the origin of this back to this clear strategy of dudes are trying to make cash money. There's a sole goal of specific people that are doing this for reasons that are incredibly transparent. And nothing good comes from this. This is one of those situations you look at, you're like, there's no like, well, let's look at this side. At least it means it's like, no, this is horrible. We've seen what GameStop has done to its storefronts, like as its own business and the level to which it has fallen. GameStop used to be a joke. Like my entire life, there were things to joke about GameStop.

15:34But there was a love and reverence at the end of the day. That all went away many, many, many years ago. And they've only become more and more of a joke, whether it's the Funko Pops and T-shirts and just insane amount of Stonk the Hedgehog merch. Or I think the even worse kind of social strategy they've been employing the last couple of years that I think is very aligned with the type of people that won with the whole Stonk War situation. And it's not good. The amount of times we've covered GameStop doing something insane on their social feeds in the last year, it's upsetting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

16:11Any goodwill you had towards that company in EB Games even and yada yada is gone. Just the way they've run this, the way they've done this. I'm not, as you know, we've talked many times. I don't give sound financial advice. This doesn't seem like a real thing, right? Yeah, but the amount of times we've said that in the last couple of years, then Elon Musk's going to buy Twitter. No way. Right. That is like such a good example. It's just like there's where there's a will, there's a way. And it's like, I do think that there's a level of stubbornness of, oh, you guys don't think I can do this. Oh, we're going to push and make it happen.

16:42When you have an insane amount of stupid funny money, as well as the ability to just use debt as a weapon. Throw it around as everybody chases like fucking ghosts. Again, this fucking statement from the article, right? about eBay, right?

16:56Andy Cortez:Tried to build the momentum by investing in artificial intelligence, a decision that has endeared it to shareholders. eBay share price is up around 52 % over the past year. It's like Jesus. Like we talk about it and complain about it so much in the game sphere all the time of people throwing, they don't know what they're doing and they're just throwing AI around to try to make numbers go up. And here it is. eBay's like, oh, we'll fucking do AI. We'll lay everybody off and then AI can run the bids and the auctions and do the goddamn thing. They'll make the Funko Pops. We jump in here, a few just headlines from around the internet right over on pr newswire ebay confirms receipt of unsolicited proposal for games game stop from game stop ebay uh global commerce leader yada yada has confirmed has received an unsolicited non-binding acquisition proposal from game stop ebay has no discussion with or outreach from game stop prior to receiving the proposal ebay's board of directors in consultation with its financial legal advisors will carefully review and consider the unsolicited proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the company and the eBay shareholders.

17:56You got that going on there. Over here on finance.yahoo, the headline is GameStop's Ryan Cohen sidesteps questions on how company will pay for eBay deal. Quote, the details are on our website. Yeah, I'll go look at the website, you freaking morons.

18:11Andy Cortez:Business insider, big short investor Michael Burry says he'll sell GameStop stock after the bold eBay offer. uh game stock michael burry the revealed the position in game stock in january but he says that the ceo ryan cohen's bold plan for to try and compete with internet retail giants like amazon is driving him to sell the stock quote i may not last the week with my game stock position fully intact he wrote uh i will certainly sell to an extent perhaps all or some but alas no not none uh so that's going on there and then over here we have uh yahoo had a headline i clicked on before you know how they change the headlines as they go GameStop stock falls after company proposes 56 billion dollar deal for eBay so it seems like even the people who have the stock in GameStop are like we can't do this yeah this ain't this ain't real things Ryan Cohen yeah unsolicited proposal that also is like yeah when you cat call somebody on the street yeah it's like when you have to put it that way it sounds creepy as hell I mean that's kind of what it is bear with the live feed here as we do see it is down right now 1.94 uh i'm sorry a dollar 94 cents uh seven point something it clicked away uh so far but you see yeah sorry i i brought it to the last five days so you could see like how big that drop uh was yeah yeah yeah yeah i leave ebay alone leave ebay alone i didn't know ebay was out like that but i shouldn't surprise me that everybody's consolidating being much a weirdos uh max says gamestop should buy spencer's gifts and stay in its lane Respect Spencer Okay Don't drag Spencer into this You wouldn't have seen You wouldn't have seen As many dicks If you didn't go to Spencer Amen I learned a lot Their little gag gifs Yeah Penises and titties I love them The blacklight posters In the back Yeah You know you're there You're looking through All the different posters Of like album covers You've never heard of And old movie posters And every once in a while There's some titties You have to pretend You weren't looking at them You know what I'm talking about Oh I know 100 % What you're talking about They got the thing you touch With the lasers And your hair goes you know Joey Radstone says GameStop playing with fake money while many struggle to eat well I have a problem with corporate America in general there Joey probably JRPG says I swore off GameStop after they tweeted AI Trump art and glazed him for quote unquote ending the console war it's just wild behavior yeah you know it's just riling up desperate to stay relevant you know what I mean like they are grasping at straws back to where I was like oh eBay's gonna buy them I guess I could kind of see that making sense oh no they're trying to buy them which i think what you could do you just throw that out there and like make headlines we should try to buy somebody just say we're going to but then then it was in the stock tanks so there's a strategy there maybe they're doing this on purpose maybe this is the reddit people once again oh wow i'm clicking my continue button on steam nothing's happening we move to story number two kofi kingston and xavier woods part ways with wwe this is subho jeep uh muck he g over at ringsidenews.com kofi kingston and xavier woods are out of wwe and that means once that means one of the most important tag team runs in modern wwe history is officially over kofi kingston and xavier woods are doubled up for some reason after both men were moved to the alumni section of wwe's website sean ross sap confirmed that kingston and woods had mutually decided to part ways with the company quote new days kofi kingston and xavier woods have mutually decided to part ways with wwe fightful select and cory hayes of body slam have learned end quote that's a massive exit kingston and woods helped turn the new day into one of wwe's biggest acts of the last decade alongside biggie the group became a multiple multiple time tag team champion held the record for the longest tag team title reign in wwe history and turned a rocky debut in one of the company's most successful acts.

21:57With his exit, his 16-year run in WWE has come to an end. And we're talking about Kofi there. Kofi's run also included one of WWE's biggest feel-good moments ever when he won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. We were there. We were there. We lived that.

22:12Andy Cortez:Woods carved out his own legacy as well, winning King of the Ring and becoming a key part of WWE's crossover presence through gaming, media, and up, up, down, down. Tim I was coming back down from putting out the compost when you sent me this link and no it was wild man this was a news that dropped yesterday morning and obviously it sucks to see you know what I mean we are obviously friends we are fans of the new day have been for a very long time and you want to see their continued success in any way possible of course and just news like this there's always the there's the questions of is this a good thing is this a bad thing We don't know the facts of a lot of the situations as things are kind of to break, but to wake up and have the new day on the alumni section of WWE.com without any like, especially after how things have been the last year or so with them where, you know, this article starts saying one of the most important tag team runs in modern WWE history.

23:09It's like, screw that history of professional wrestling. Like they are some of the all time goats. And I don't think that that could be debated. No. whether it's from the actual accolades that they achieved or just from the duration of the run, right? Here we're talking about Kofi Kingston for how long he's been there. Cozy Bear on his most recent game show that he did during Kind of Funny Happy Hour, one of the questions was like ranking WWE wrestlers by tenure and it's just so surprising at how far back Kofi Kingston goes with all of that. But yeah, the two of them, absolute legends in my heart and in the minds of millions out there.

23:48And the reason we're here talking about it on Games Daily, obviously we're friends with Xavier Austin, but also it's just like why we're friends with him. We're friends with him through video games more than it is through the WWE side. 100%. Yeah, I think that's if you are new around here or not connected or whatever it may be. Yeah, no, we're not just talking about this because we're friends. We're talking about it because, of course, Xavier Woods, a.k.a. Austin Creed, has an incredibly successful YouTube channel called UpUpDownDown that he was doing through WWE. It's how we met him in 2015. We had just gone independent.

24:24He had just started UpUpDownDown, and he came to the GameSpot stage we were doing on E3 for the Kind of Funny Cross GameSpot stage. And you can go back and watch that clip on Kind of Funny right now, and you see me and him fall in love with each other and become best friends because it was, I'm booking that show. GameSpot's whole thing for us was like, we'll cover the gaming demos. we want you to bring in your celebrity connects and people to have fun and talk about it and so when wwe hit me up about hey one of our wrestlers is starting a gaming channel i totally rolled my eyes and i say the story all the time right i'm just like not that i was like wrestling wrestlers can't like games i know how many wrestlers like games i know how hard it is to run a youtube channel and take this seriously and so when woods came on that set and then hit it off and then started talking i was like oh no he's got it he knows what he's doing he knows what it's going to be and that's why up up down down you know it's season finale of uh their battle of the brands 2025 uh is their last thing up from a month ago it says like they continue to upload content that has been successful that has been crossover and i think that's where we really start getting into this of course woods has done so much with us so much with dan reichert whether it be anywhere dan is so much when he was one of the hosts of g4's revival i know like that's that is the biggest thing right is like that he had that position where he was one of the core faces of g4 when it came back yeah and so you get to this point of like that's why this wrestling news is getting coverage here is because it's an incredibly exciting time you know you and me i you texting me then hours later followed back up like what do we want to do and i'm like i went to instagram and immediately started getting photos of me and kofi and austin throughout the years and I stopped myself like no I I was starting to write a thing like they're dead like I'm doing a memorial when I'm texting Austin you know what I mean it's like no that's not what this is this is incredibly exciting because what does it mean for them is it what everybody would think and how the internet's been treating it and how MJF is treating it it's like here we go AEW what's going on Kenny Omega let's go get all these dream matches we wanted forever or is it that something Austin has been clear about on kind of funny in every other interview he's done of he knows he can't take bumps forever he'd love to be able to go do something like this and just play games and talk about games and that's the biggest thing to me is like we've said this before on shows I think we said this last time he was here when he chopped all of us uh on your birthday a couple years back um but he is the hardest working human being I have ever met I know so many people that work so hard and give their all into their passion he is the most passionate person I know it's multiple passions right it is the wrestling side it is the video game side and he puts equal amounts into both and i don't know how he does that it's like he literally doesn't sleep you see him wake up go to the gym do all the things he needs to do and then run a youtube channel and there's been times he ran that youtube channel with a lot more support we know behind the scenes there's been times he's ran it where he's just a youtuber he's a solo guy maybe with a couple friends like trying their best to get things uploaded make the thumbnails do all of it it's like there is a a grind that he has that is the most admirable thing and on top of all that he's an awesome person he's amazing yeah you lay it all that that's so hard he's a family guy you know what i mean like he has a family that he cares about and loves and when you know ever i you know before would be complaining about a travel schedule he'd put up his and how these things where he's shooting back just to have an evening with his family to then go back out and do g4 in la to and then go to wherever wrestling is to go to this whole thing and dot, dot, dot, dot.

27:52Like it's easy. It's crazy because Kofi and new day have been WWE for so long that it's crazy to think about them not being there, but it's also exciting for them personally of what do they get to go do? Absolutely. They want to go shake this out. And on the gaming side, I, he is one of those guys that loves video games so much that obviously now with the steam deck and portable handles like that, like things have changed a bit, but he was one of those guys that on every flight would bring the game screen the game screen would plug ps5s xboxes whatever it is into the plane to be able to play on all of his flights like that's a level of dedication that like you have when you are a true like gaming is my passion type guy so yeah love all that and just yeah it's like the the memorialization of new day like to me it's more just about celebrating them because like they are such a unique group of people yeah the power of positivity like they they heel turned and it was an amazing heel turn it was not followed up well whose responsibility was that i do not blame them no you know what i mean no no no you see what they're able to do and um i just think it's it's very important that even if you don't care about wrestling or whatever it's important to know that these guys were given such a shit end of the stick with the every time the the way that they their their characters were written the way they were grouped together in the early days and they turned a joke into one of the most renowned highest selling merch brands that the wwe has ever had yeah they were able to like be a brand where the new day these guys these three best friends you can see how best friend they are right it like permeates every single thing they do and it's like that power of positivity pushed through in a field that feeds off of good guy bad guy dynamics and all of this there's just something being cutthroat you know what i mean yeah try to you know go watch you know anything about hulk hogan like fucking other people over to get yourself you know to the top of the card yeah and they never did that they never did their beloved and that's why you saw so many people this weekend in the wrestling world sharing how much they love them yep and then a lot of fans i think you know again not to mourn kofi and austin right but to mourn new day in their passing it isn't yet another one as we have a super chat from joshua that says tko is ruining this company another arrow in that quiver of the conversations of what the fuck is going on yeah man like how is it this bad it's disgusting ducks over there but hey very excited to see what this means for them because that hard work that they do and that they have in them is not going to stop so whatever they're doing whether it is wrestling whether it's not the idea of xavier going full into video games awesome austin so excited to me 100 yeah yeah of course and you know as soon as he's ready give us a ring austin creed we got jobs for you we got things to do over here we'd love to have you uh do more with us uh and i will tell you this I'll put this on the record.

30:38If new day goes to AEW, I will start watching AEW. There you go. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's a pizza bet. But that's what it is. But yeah, a shocking turn of events.
