  Speaker 1: a buy or so Tuesday, and I'll open the bidding
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: as I often do. Do you buy or sell the notion?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Armine said that you can't disrespect the pizza part. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: mean not the pizza. That's a soprano's reference. Can't disrespect
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the bleachers. No fighting, the bleachers, huge fight last night
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in the Cubs White Sox game.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Another one, Now that one doesn't surprise bleachers brawl, it doesn't.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Isn't that think of Okay, night game, Cubs White Sox Wrigleyfield.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Isn't that define like the Petrie dish, a bro central,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: like the absolute, like you know, night games, so they're drinking.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's Cubs White Sox. So there's all that interplay and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: rivalry and a bunch of Chicago suburban guys just going
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: at it like that is just the Petrie dish of bros.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I wish.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend of mine who is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a Milwaukee native, grew up in Tosa and he moved
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to La many many many years ago. Okay, but he
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: comes back once in a while. And he was back
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and I was chatting with him, and he said, yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm still flying the flag. But I would never wear
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a Brewer's T shirt jersey to Dodger Stadium. I'm like, well, yah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of course you wouldn't because that is not a place
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: where you would.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But see, I don't think I would have a problem
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: hostile environment. You wouldn't do it. I would, just you don't.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: You just have to know you're not gonna engage in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and like, no one's gonna fight with you. Just no
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: one's gonna sucker punch you in the concourse you have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: with you. I know, but you have to be complicit
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: if you get in a fight. I'm sorry you are
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: complicit in the way you're acting like. That's been my
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: whole theory about this. I went to Philly and war
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: brewers shirt. Okay, it wasn't necessarily pleasant, Like people weren't like, hey,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I five of me and taking pictures of me. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: nobody was like gonna push me down.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: In Wisconsin beer and hand you a brod.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: We're a lot more friendly. You might get you might
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: get like rass. I mean, you'll get you'll get heckled.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But you're right, that's a target rich environment. Cobs, white Sox,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the the warring factions, the alcohol, a tight game. I mean,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I can't even go to State Fair without a fight
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: breaking out on the last night unfortunately, major true, several fronts,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just crazy. But yeah, you had said no fighting in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the bleachers, Well there is when the white Socks are
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in town just saying and bus fancy to fight with
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: White Sox fans, Bruce fans and Cubs fans. There's always
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: dust ups a American family field. I don't know, sometimes
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: people just can't handle it. They can't handle their you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the intensity.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And as humans sometimes you can't just sit and take it,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: like we can't just sit and you know, let it
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: go turn the other cheek. Not not when alcohol is evolved,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: not when pride and hubris is involved, and that's how
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: these fights start. But it's a patriotish I mean, you're
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: not gonna have three hours of trash talking without somebody
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: saying something that's finally going to trip a trigger, especially
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in the bleachers. So I guess there is fighting the bleachers,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: especially a tight game like that, like a seesaw game,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: where there's emotional swings. It wasn't like a ten to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: nothing route early on. Yeah, but I haven't been to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a game actually at Wrigley, which surprised a lot of people,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: like my wife couldn't believe it. Drew I told, I said,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, of all the games to be at that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: don't involve the Brewers, that would be a fun one
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to be at Cub Socks to watch the warring factions.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I said, I hadn't been to a game at
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: either stadium. She couldn't believe that. So I don't know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe one day we talked to earlier in the show
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: about how great baseball is because it gives you action
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: every day, and even the Knights it doesn't give action,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it gives one of your opponents that's involved in the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Pennant race action. And there are there are a lot
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of games when they'll be like, you know, I don't
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: care about Mariner's Rockies, I don't care about angels A's,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but Socks Cubs would be a fun one as a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: neutral observer to go to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I suppose. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you just cheer for both teams to lose. Yeah. Jeff
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and Fitzburg got Brewers gear on in La a few
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, but the Dodgers were playing the Red Sox,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: so I did feel like I had a road team
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: army behind me if they caused any problems. Yeah, that's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: true too. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend, right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that's true. Yeah, that's true. Pretty interesting, are.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You buying her selling that the Live Tour is done forever?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: There might be somebody funding it that just pulled the.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Plug on their last event of the twenty sixteen season.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It was a disaster. It always was. It was always
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a money ground for the players that were involved. You know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: for the lower level guys. I couldn't at the time
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: blame them for changing their family's life with this ridiculous
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: money they were getting. But it was always going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: be a mess, and it clearly is, and I think
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a stain on legacy for certain golfers.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Within four years, it's gone. The Saudi Arabia's public Investment
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Fund withdrew it's funding and they're basically shutting down. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: there's a.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Guy I'm glad it failed.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: There's a bag that bob involved. The Live Golf CEO
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Scott O'Neil by concluding the season Now we can just
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: put our full resources behind what comes next and maintain
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the operational riggor this transition demands. Yeah right. We are
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: reimagining Live Golf as a fundamentally new league, owned by
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the players and anchored in a sustainable business model, with
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an evolved fan experience, built for the markets where the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: game is growing fastest across the globe, and the support
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of world class partners.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't work, and it didn't work. It proves
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: once again that fans of a sport, fans of the game.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Sports fans generally don't want too much change in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: way their games have been. And I'm not saying that's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: right or wrong. I'm just saying that's the reality. You
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: can make small changes over time, and every sport has
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and that's the way things have evolved. But golf fans,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: especially Drews, cling to their tradition as tightly as as
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a child but cling to a stuffed animal. I mean,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they cling to their tradition. They cling to these dumb rours.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You can't match the masters, you can't match it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And when you try.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: In the idea let them wear shorts and play music
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and have teams that we're going to.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Try and change the rules and maybe it can be
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a niche sport, but that's all it was in the end,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: like and and it wasn't gonna work, and who was
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: going to watch? People don't want to watch certain things
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that are out. We saw this during COVID when a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: lot of leagues tried to do many mini seasons and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of fans looked at it and said, these
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: aren't real games, these are just this is just a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: little novelty. In the meantime, I think that's how people
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: looked at the live situation. All Right, are you.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Buying or selling that the glory days of Nike are over?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I'm selling that. That's a great question, and I know
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that's been part of the discussion last year in sports
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: memorabilia and sports merchandising. I think Nike is a brand
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that I want to say is as close to Teflon
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: as it gets for sports brands. But they have dropped
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: an interest in market value, right, They.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Have lost their market caps five years.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: There's no question that they've taken a hit. So me
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: saying by the very nature saying they're Teflon, it sounds silly,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: but isn't that a lot of it Because of the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: business decisions they made and how they pivoted no one
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: but but, but but the culture doesn't still look at
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a Nike tag and say that's a dorky thing to wear.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: People getting there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Hokah's on cloud.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Well, those are good. Those are good shoes that are
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: well a lot of it. People like people like Hokah's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Brooks on Clouds a lot now as well, and there's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: always gonna be new players.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: There was a major motion picture with major stars made
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: about the Jordan.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was good. I thought it was good,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and I don't care about movies much. Usually I would
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: complain to Matt Miller all the time. Then it wasn't
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: like a more popular movie. I was like, this is
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a great movie. I just think there's still value in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the Nike when people think, what what shoe do I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: want to be associated with in sports? Because the Brooks
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and the Hookahs and stuff were good for walkers and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: casual wears and people you know, like us that want
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: comfortable shoes. I get it, and runners, but do I don't.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. There's not going to be like a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Hokah shoe deal for an NBA.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Athlete One analyst said Nike was a brand defined by
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's competitiveness and machismo and with a heavily male
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: customer base. Then they thought they could double in size
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: if they could be that and also be Lululemon at
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the same time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe, but instead they stopped being that while failing to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: be lululemenon now they are nothing. But I don't upstart
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: competitors ate their lunch while they destroyed their brand and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: their reputs.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. You're still not going to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: find that much Nike at Ross or at uh. I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: there's some stuff there, some stuff there well, but I
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: gotta go more than I guess. I don't know if
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you do fail. I don't think it's a failing brand.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I mean it is failing in the sense that it's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: lost money. Okay, I get it. But like some of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the had to do with the way they shifted online
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic and stuff like that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the app try to sell through the app
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: instead of through the brick and mortars, and yeah, that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: was it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: They do have a problem with the fact that there
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was a culture and shift trend. I've researches too much.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Clearly people are like what commercials they were into, like
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the marketing, the lifestyle, all that stuff. You're selling an image,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and then people wanted comfortable footwear. There was a trend
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of like the Holcas and the Brooks, and Nike did
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: not do good enough with their walking and running stuff.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Now I think that some of the new ones are better,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: but they didn't do it good enough with that, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: that's what's brought them behind. But I just think a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: brand like that will recycle and come back up again.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It's just hard for me to believe.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: What they're trying to do is restructure. And I was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: reading this that the New Sea John Donahue or Donahoe,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they're moving away from classic discrete sports categories like Nike Baseball,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Nike Basketball, and Nike Soccer in favor of a system
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: where all products are shoveled into three divisions Men's, Women's,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and kids.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't get the difference.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I guess they're emphasizing gender over sport. Like you know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Nike golf was Nike Golf Nike, and so emphasizing Tiger
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Woods thing is lifestyle is gone now is the model
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of product appealing to basketball fans because they're basketball fans
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is not replaced by a model of, say, the product
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: appealing to women because they are women. Women buy the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: lion's share of clothing in the United States, and then
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the shoppers are and.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: They've been more into the on on Cloud, the Hokah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the Brooks. Women's at leisure brands are just exploding.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: While women shoppers are market dominant nearly every aspect of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: American apparel. Nike, according to its own records, men count
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: for roughly twice twice as much revenue as women. It
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is very important to judge their own audience kind.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Of well maybe, but I just always see kids wearing
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Jordan's still, I guess, and I don't know. I guess
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Jordan's are probably still popular. It's probably the one thing
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: but the lack of innovation everywhere else has struggle has
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: been And then again, the classic Nike crew neck is
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: probably one of the most standard looking classics there is,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Champion is no, people aren't Champion now.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: That's a brand that went out that's.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Classic Champions never No, Champion's more popular now.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Probably not really for like lifestyle, where.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Is where are you hanging out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Champion was they had moments. They had a couple of moment.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Champions bigger than I think Champions better than Nike.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Now you're talking about like for like reverse weave sweatshirts,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: rats and absolutely okay shirt.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They see more Champion T shirts around than Nike.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: They have quality brand, but there's zero chance more people
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: wearing Champion than Nike. Like they might be wearing Champion
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: branded stuff from like college. I don't believe it. I'm sorry,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: we'll have to disagree on that. That's a sell for me. Okay,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: but a lot of people are selling Nike literally that's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: been their problem. Yeah, right there, this is a good one.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean so yeah, the whole arc of Nike
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: is funny, but it doesn't matter as much as it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: used to.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's true, That's definitely true, Jeff says. One of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: my eighteen year old boys had worn black Nike since
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: he was six. Last week he bought white Lue Lemon sneakers.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It sure shocked me. Yeah, I mean those brands Viory.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: You know, there was so much a shift to ath
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: leisure that there been more brands popping up and people
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: will follow the culture and what's popular, and those brands
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: are popular. Whether they have the staying power Nike did
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: for forty to fifty years, I'm not sure, but we'll see.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people say that Nike is like a woke company
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and stuff, and they built their monopoly on sweatshops, and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it's like, I don't.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Know, man, I mean that that but that was that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: was a controversy when I was in college twenty years ago.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: People were saying, you know, don't buy Nike or buy this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: So I don't know that that's really it. I think
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that's lip service for most people. I think they just
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: want to buy what's popular. I mean, does that's how
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I feel. I think people will rather look cool than
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: actually and sometimes like having like a conscience is looking cool, right,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I think I think Nikes, remember Tom's In some way,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Nike might have just gotten too big. Yes, at the point,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and then it was like but then they just the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: missteps kept flowing to American Like overseas people aren't wearing
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Nike much.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You know, well they're trying to get into China, that's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the big market.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But I'm like Europeans don't wear Nike, I don't think much.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And that's that's.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Where they big. Were they big during the World Cup?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: To soccer? Is?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Are they making soccer stuff that's up the park?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: They make it, they try, But you know, Adida Cell
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: has a I don't know, I guess you. I'm sure
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of people have opinions on this, but yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: it's just.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: It used to be a brand like under Armour was
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the cool brand that all the kids were bugging their
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: parents to get, and then they kind of got watered
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: down and now we're just talking about farm and fleet
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and fleet farm that's where you find a bunch of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: under armours.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Now you can find all this stuff on sale. I mean,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you know it's functional still for some people, I'm sure,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and if you can get a deal. Paul, you want
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to see Paul kay here on YouTube. I really don't
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like it. He wanted to talk about the Cubs in
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the white Sox thing. I really don't like it when
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the Cubs beat the Brewers and the Chicago fans wave
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the w flag if they lose and they shod, no
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: problem brew friends waving the l fail flag. Yeah, I mean,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I think I guess so. I mean, that's that's been
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a debate. Hoys. We don't like other fans in our
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: space as sports fans. That's where Roberts coming.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Tommy and stallis weighing in on the fashion thing. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: have three kids, twenty nineteen and seventeen. Champion is definitely
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: more popular than Nike. I'm sorry, Arman, it's not nineteen.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: There's no way, Tommy, there's no way. Yeah, there is. Well, okay,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: how do you define it more popular?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Just walk it? What do I see around the street?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I see more people wearing the big Champion. Look at
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the big C stuff. I saw that the whole line.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: There was a stretch like six six.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Years ago maybe or eight years ago. I think they were.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It's still well. I guess I'm not seeing it. I'm
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: not seeing it well. I don't even know where to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You're hanging around. You get it at Target, you can't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: get anywhere. Get it online, get it on Brian Day.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: There's a Champion outlet stores, but there's no Champing outlet
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: stores doing the business that probably Nike isn't.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: It can't be more popular if you can get it
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a Target. Target's like a like a big pot, one
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of the number one retailers in the country. But Drew
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that that that that makes it that's a lower brand
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to people, like you can't get Little Lemon at Target.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You can't get like Voria Target. That's my point. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: don't know. We'll have to disagree on this one. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: don't I just don't see it. Yeah, I don't know.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Man, Champion is like it's it's it's always been a constant.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like definitely a constant.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Chuck Taylor's in certain circles, never go in a style.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: If you were to get like a team sweaterer or
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a college sweatsher champion reverse weak was the best, was
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the best best. So I agree with that. Yeah, I
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: just don't know that it's more popular to people. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: don't know. Well, I don't know why.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Well, it's fashion because you want to be one identify
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: with the brands.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And that's just it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: That's the whole premise is that Nike isn't the cool
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: brand anymore. Part of it maybe Tiger Woods is fall
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: from Grace.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But they but Nike.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You Oran Brandon Jordan is untouchable, but the rest of it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And Runners now they buy Brooks.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Run, they buy you know that you struggle with Runners,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying. I definitely agree with that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then like the just even with the fashion
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: stuff though too. Plus stuff's pretty expensive. It's not as
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: good as quality.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Definitely expensive.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but private equity ruins everything.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: But every major sport in the US is Nike is
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Nike jerseys, NBA, MLB. Now, yeah, but well doesn't that
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: mean something?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Well what were they before? Didn't mean anything for majestic.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Well that's what I'm saying. But you're right, But it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Seemed like every other other brands have had.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: NFL used to be able to pick by a team
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that was the best part of the Nikes every there
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: was like nine or ten in the NFL, Like you know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that does Nike is Is it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: even associated? It's just so everywhere? Is it even cool?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Like it's too I don't know.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So it's too comm it's too saturated the market maybe
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: in that sense in terms of seeing it on on jerseys.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The wh'll just do it thing that they used to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: have cool spots and it was a cool brand.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It's not cool anything that definitely did. I mean the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: marketing was cool back then, and that's what I'm saying.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It was our lifestyle that was part of the and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they just lost it, they lost touch. That might be true,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and that's why they've lost They've lost eighty percent of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: market cap in five years.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Dead Man TV, It's okay. Arman is just getting old
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: old boomer SATs doesn't know it's south the youth.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe I have just just you're just clinging to I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: don't like to think you remember O. Arman never got
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: rid of his starter jackets.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Those are cool again. All the ninety stuff is cool again.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: If you would have kept all your nineties windbreakers, people
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: were paying a mint for those on the internet. The
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: sweatshirts I got mccole's sale rack are now being sold
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: in the packers Pro shop for like eighty bucks.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So, uh, Nikes all time high in terms of stock
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was twenty twenty one, and uh.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was there. I mean it was.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It was exploded yesterday. It slid down to twenty fourteen levels.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had the direct to the consumer marketing thing
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that work, and then that really dropped them off. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: just five years ago was their best. Maybe they were
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: just too saturated downe Well that's just crazy. That's just
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: bad business, is it. But isn't that an opportunity? Isn't
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: gonna go back up. That's too much.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: If you're a Nike stockholder, are you holding it or.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: You got all that? You can't sell it now? It's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: not it's not worth selling it. I think it's got
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: to go back up. Nike is too common.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Thirteen years ago you could buy a share of Nike
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: stock at thirty eight dollars and that's where it is
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So there you go, opportunity to buy. We're talking economics here,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: well on the huddle.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Now twelve year low. But hey, you know.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: That that's an interesting I love this type of discussion,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the merchandising, the like. You could say, how much has
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: fanatics killed it? Because a lot of the Nike stocks
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: made with fanatics, and a lot of people don't associate
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: fanatics of quality anymore, so maybe that hurt their reputation,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I don't know. Yeah, that's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: this is man. This is a fun one. I know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this is a this is a good one.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: He made forty six billion in revenue last year. They
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: came doing that bad.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Hit us with your buy or sell propositions. Maybe it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: just the University of Oregon has torpedoed it with all
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the uniforms and all the world.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: It could be a saturation factor. Jess Man says, it's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: a buy stock Tips today in the model.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: You want to buy it. Feel free, Feel free. But man,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: by the way, like the Caitlin Clark ones are still
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not out for sale.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: That's a problem. They've went way too long. They bested
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: that up big time.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Quality has tanked and they could have sold a lot
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of shoes just saying Yanna is still with them.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big name for them internationally, and his
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: shoes are more affordable than the rest of them. We'll
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: do more. Buy our Cells, Drew. I want to do
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a couple of buy our cells on Brewers Mariners. Let's

• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the pilgrimage yet, you should do it times running Arman,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you've you've never been to Wrigley or Kamiski Guaranteed Rate field.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I've been there, been there, but not for games. Went
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to concert at Wrigley, and I've been to Guaranteed Rate
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like driving by obviously and walking. But I've never been
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: in there for a game. No, I have not. Isn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that crazy for some people? It is? I guess maybe
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: it's not crazy, but maybe.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, that is crazy. But have you ever been
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to a Packers practice?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I have? Well I was, Uh, I was there. We
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: were the perch last year. But I was there as
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a fan too. I was gonna say I was at
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: a shareholder meeting as a fan, as a young kid,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: or as a shareholder's friend. I guess I'm not a shareholder,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: but and I was at Packers practice as a fan
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: buy or sell. That's still the best value in all
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: of American sports is to go to a free Packers practice.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, and then pay for the spend your money
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: at the pro shop and at Sure Yeah yeah, the tour,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the Stadium tour, and the Packers Hall of Fame.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: It doesn't beat that. And I remember going with my
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: dad and my sister. We took a trek when we
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: were like, you know, we were kids in the nineties
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to do the Packers Experience, which was new for a time.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It was like a big, you know, indoor like amusement
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: park basically for the Packers. That was fun.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Ye from the seven to one to five Buy or
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Sell Tuesday, Buy or Sell the ground beef at the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Taco bar. Side note, myself and a number of my
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: friends got a bout of food poisoning for a wedding
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: reception this weekend.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Well that's bad luck. I mean when you when a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: wedding reception has bad food and the entire you know,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the entire guest list is strict with this ailment, that's
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a bad, bad situation because there's only so many bathrooms,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: everyone's in formal wear, and you're starting to feel uncomfortable
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on the dance floor. I can see that, But I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: would buy generally the ground beat. It's hard to screw
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: up tackle meat, am I wrong, and it's generally gonna
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: be cooked through because it's not in big chunks. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I would buy that in every situation. You really can't
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: beat that situation. Now, contamination can happen anywhere, you know. Unfortunately,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: maybe they had some tailor firms let us. I'm not
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: really sure, but I would buy that situation. I think
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: in general, you're gonna know what you're gonna get, you know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: not happy to sorry about the ailment you were stricken
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: with though.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's nothing worse than that.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris and Lonai is fighting with me on the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: text line saying, Arman, you're treating Nike like it's Coca
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and it's not. But it's definitely the sports version of Coke.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's the most successful American sports brand ever. And Coke
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: lost market share in the eighties to Pepsi and they
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: had New Coke. They had their disaster and rebounded from it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: So there's ways to look at it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: This this I mean, and I made the Champion thing
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: just because Champion is they're like an upstart. They do
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: collapse with Supreme. They they're more like on the streets now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I think Champion is like what people would go to
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: over Nike. But just that's just you know, empirical, that's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: just kind of like my subjective from just like seeing
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: stuff on the streets.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just not in the I'm not like in
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the cool enough streets. Maybe that's my problem. You know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I gotta be in a I gotta be in the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: cool enough.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a little bit like you know, Levi's.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Sure, do they dominate jeans anymore? Do they? I think so?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: But there are other upstarts. But but you know, in
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a way like Nike, New Balance is gaining on, Yes,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: New Balance in terms of cachet and just the shoes
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: more and more popular shoes basically, aren't they. I mean
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: it's all personal preference pretty much. Well, if you lost
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the hardcore runners years ago to Brooks and the other
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: brands and Hokka, now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Ugly shoes they call them. Right, ugly shoes are more
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: popular like the big, chunkier ones, and now you didn't
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: have a good response, like a good but some people
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: like but see people are you're right shoes or shoes
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: like people are loyal to what fits them. Well, like
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: some people like New Balance because it's an American brand, right,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: So everyone's got everyone's got their thing, you know.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: And I just think like Champion and Converse, like they
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: punch above their class in some ways.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I've been trying to bring Rebox back to uh Drew.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to bring back Rebox. So we'll
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: see if it works.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: It's a long, lonely fight. You're in for the long haul.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: There, and there's a couple that will will like protrude
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the market, where like the new Balance five fifty was
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: popular a couple of summers ago in terms of shoes,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: like I tell like a sneaker head. Now Rebox got
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the Club C eighty five's, like people still love those.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: But like the Adida Samba has been this shoe the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: last year, Like every every young female has an Adida
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Samba on. Even though they're like uncomfortable indoor soccer shoes.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: They weren't in casually like no other shoes. So some
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: things just hit the culture, Drew, and you can't really
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: question the culture, that's true. Jess Man says, I like
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Brooks because they have sixty return policy. Yeah, well they're
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: just good for the white foot kings like me.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Like you, Yeah, all right, what buy our cells do
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you have regarding Brewers.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: All right, buy buy or cell Brewers start a series
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: with the Mariners, Drew, does it remind you like the
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: AL days, No other team like the Brewers switched from
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the ALE to the NL, right, except for the Astros
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: they had that, So no teams switched leagues that the
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Brewers did. And for a while, every time there was
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: an interleague game, I was nostalgic about the American League days.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Like so it was always like the White Sox, you know,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: for a while, you'dn't be nostalgic about those rivalry matchups
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: between gar and those guys in the nineties. And is
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: that still a thing or is there It's been so
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: long since the Brewers switched leagues twenty eight years now,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and there's been so much interleague Are we desensitized to
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the novelty aspect of playing an American League team now?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Always thought we had more nostalgia factor because we were
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in both leagues, you know, so if you grew up
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: watching American League games, and now it's like, oh, the Mariners,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I remember this game. I remember the fight with the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Mariners in the nineties, or I remember the Jay Buner griffied,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you know, days, but that might be gone.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the interleague play and seeing every team all the time,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it's just the novelty's gone.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, I think, And is that too much
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: in a league? That's the question, Like is there too
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: much in a league play? Would you prefer to be
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: it where the whole schedule seems inter I like it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Birs get the face Aaron Judge every year every other
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: year in Milwaukee, right, I like it.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I don't mind it, but I think it does take
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: away a little bit of the novelty aspect of it,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: like when you see, like there was an excitement when
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the Yankees came into town for the first time in
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: seven years. But then again, if you grew up in Milwaukee,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: you were always watching the Yankees play County Stadium, so
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: we were always in that unique situation.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but I mean you're an old soul
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm old, so.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, I like true.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been I've seen the Brewers in the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: American League as long as I've seen him in the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: National League. Right, And for like the people Hunter's age
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, Billy's age, all they know is the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: National League, so.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Right, so they have no they have no reference with
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the nostalgia.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Now you want to go into a rabbit hole arm
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and go find that Mariners Brewers brawl.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'll post it later on on Twitter. No, I
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: know it's a jimp. Paski called it nine Creb one
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: of the great fights ever that no one talks about.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Like nine minutes Treb getting body slammed.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: It was getting it was, it was. There was like
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: four times it was over and then it sparked back up.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I think there's at least six Hall of famers in
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: that fight. Milder, you out, well, I don't think Sheffield's
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, but if he was, okay, you can put.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Chef in my bes on the Rise.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Griff Griffy obviously, Randy Johnson, Martinez, Dave Parker, I want
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to say it was Edgar Martinez playing probably, So it's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: just pretty crazy. You watch that. I'll pull some stuff
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: on twitterly great memory, buy Oursel Drew. When you're in
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: a Pennant race and you're in first place and you're
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: trying to hold off a hot team like the Brewers are,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: there's a war, there's a it's sometimes harder to get
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: up for a series like this, and there's more of
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a pressure on you to win a game like this
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: than there is like the Dodgers series, because obviously the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Dodgers looked at it as a bitter or a better opponent,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: tougher opponent. Everyone's gonna expect the Brewers to roll the Mariners, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Is there more of a pressure on the Brewers because
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: that's not a baseball work sometimes? Uh?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Is there more pressure? I mean I've been warning people
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: for a long time, don't look at records, don't look
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: at like the strength of schedule thing. Yeah, doesn't matter,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: just doesn't. Again, when the Brewers were bad, they would
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: go in and beat teams and win two out of
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: three from teams that were charging for the penanty.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no rhyme or reason. That's why in some ways
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I think it puts.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: You play loose. It's just like, yeah, I mean.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: There's there's less excuses then if you lose. But maybe
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: they don't think of it that way. I do, you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think yeah, I don't think yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think players are wired to look down on
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: teams because of their record. They're big league teams now again,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be a come doown because it's
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: not the Dodgers, right, and the Brewers a lot of
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: emotionally good thing. They had a day off, but it's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: not the Dodgers. But you're they're also back at home
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: after a long week out West.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: That's going to feel good back at home.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I wouldn't you just don't just don't discount
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: anybody because it Yeah, that's death in baseball is to
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: look past somebody. Oh you can win that series. Again,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: how do the Brewers play against the Pirates?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Right, you have to be every team can get you,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Every team can get you every day. Yeah, no doubt.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: So it's just like that, that just doesn't that's not
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a thing. And like I said before, like when the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Rockies came in right before the trade deadline, a lot
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: of those guys wanted to get traded. They were playing
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: their asses off, they were happy to be playing in
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: front of a spirited crowd for a change, and they
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: they got juice off of that, even though they're you
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: know right, there were no Rockies fans in the stands.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Really it was you know, just discount that. Put that
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: out of your mind.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just man on YouTube with a couple here he
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: said by Logan Henderson. Well, obviously, I think we'd all
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: buy that. Talking about the pitch, mappis lessar. Then he
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: said this one. They're talking about Brewers and uniforms, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: we're talking a little bit about the the aesthetics of
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: sports and the apparel sell The pot of blue jerseys
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: would not pair with powder of blue pants? Was that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: a swinging and missed by the Brewers. I like the
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: pot of Blue ones, but a lot of people were
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: saying they should have also made it the full set.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many uniforms can you travel?
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Well, that's part of the problem, isn't it like a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: lot more efficient to not Now that's kind of maybe
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: that's not, you know, a good excuse, But you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: at least they only need one pair of pants in
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: the road, right gray pants. Yeah, but if you had
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the Pottter of blues, you need to have that whole
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: set of pants for everywhere on the road trip. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: that adds up for the traveling party, right, for the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: George Stanzas of the world, for the assistant to the
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: traveling secretary, that adds up. But there's no question I
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: think it would look good as a full set, look better.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, it's going to throw it back, throw
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it all the way back.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: It does. It does not bother me, though as as
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: much as it bothers some. It was really bothersome for
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people this year when they when they
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: released that, people were like, really upset about it. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: can't care that much.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: But eight seven seven seven I like this one.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Only Phil buy ours ol. The Dodgers are like Nike
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and the Cubs are hunch puppies. Would the Brewers be
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: champions then, well, we could be the champion brand if
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: you want to use a metaphor there. I guess yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I'd like us to be real champions. That'd be good,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: all right, jess Man, Cardinals to the full set. A
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: lot of teams do a lot of teams. The Royals
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: do a lot of teams. Were the full set of
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the Baby Blues and Bruises. Don't Maybe they'll make that
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: additional next year, you never know, not sure might Yeah, yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I can see it.
• 31:50

  Speaker 1: are trying to finish with one of the top two
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: records in the league. That to me is like doesn't
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: exist in other sports. I mean not as much. It's
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: not as prevalent or as bankable. And every year it
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: seems like this year is going to be unbelievable at
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the races. Here we are sitting at
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the top, the bottom of the American League with like

  Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it. I don't know
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: how you would construct it. I'm not the culinary genius
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: that can figure out a snack food like this. But
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Derek and Madison said, buy or sell my invention. Inside
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: out Cheetos, same cheesy taste, none of the mess, brilliant.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: So I guess the outside is dry and the inside
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: is the powder. I'm I'm trying to wrap my head
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: around this, and it's definitely a waken Bake situation because
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to wrap my head around how Derek and
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Madison's buy our sell invention would work. But hey, this
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: could this could work. I mean, if you make it work,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: you might get rich. Derek.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Inside out Cheeto true, didn't they sell naked Cheetos for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a while?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: They might have, And you always said crunch or puffed
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: because I always thought, I don't like getting messy, right,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: so I don't want to. I love Cheetos, but I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: don't want to get the powder, so I always avoid
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: him for that reason. There you go.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Cheetos simply n k D simply.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Really so they were naked Cheetos, so they had the
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: taste of Cheetos.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with no dies or artificial flavors.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Well that is okay, So that's so it.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Exists sort of, yes, sort of. I don't know about
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: inside out. Well we can even get him flame it
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: hot because it's no die, so no residue on your fingers.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: What do you want on the inside, Derek, the powder.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I'm really confused by it. Now they sell alpshole, then
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: they'd still sell the Cheetos branded mac and cheese. I've
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: had that in my Viking Weekend moments. That's pretty good.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, won't make that for Lena h no Iry.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'll try, I'll try.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cheetos and Dorito's got naked. Late last year PepsiCo
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: put out the naked Cheetos and and Doritos.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: See naked became cool.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Simply NKD a reinvention of Dorito's and Cheeto flavors with
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: no artificial flavors, die and completely colorless.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: They knew the younger the gen z the same flavor.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: They wanted that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, the flaming hots were such that that
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: neon orange red you know.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Which was which was like cool for the elder millennials
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: like me in the nineties to drink that with serge,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: but now the kids want like healthy, die free, big hokahs.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing Drew as the shoot discussion.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so simply naked. So if you it's almost like, uh,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: who was our texture that came.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Up with this idea, Derek and Madison.
• 37:32

• 37:34
  Speaker 1: it already exists and there's already like a Reddit thread

• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Phil has a late one buy or sell. The pretzel
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: combos are better than the breaded cony.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: That's an absolute buy. In fact, I don't even I
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: can't even find the breaded ones anymore.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: What do you mean breaded one?
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Old? The original combos didn't weren't the pretzel wrap. It
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: was just bread. It was like just bread.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: But every combo I've had in my life was like
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a pretzel.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: That mostly are now. I don't even think you. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: do remember the old ones, though I don't remember. It
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: was always like why would you get those? I didn't
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: get that, and it's like why would you get short
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: bread cookies for girls? Got cookies? Never understood it. But
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: maybe some people like him, I guess we get old
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Derek and Madison. Sorry, guys, I'm a pool man, not
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a doctor. Well you're both cleaning off filters, so it's
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: that different. I'm just trying to see a couple of
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: minutes left. We left any on the cutting room floor
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: from the from the video, from the video stream text
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: on YouTube, Johnny Cribbage had one. He said, Oh, yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: the tracemac thing. The tracemack will be the drama, will
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: be the drama five more times as you're easy. Yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the drama will change every week when in the preseason
