0:00
Speaker 1: Locked and loaded, cutting and cracking. It's the huddle churning
0:04
Speaker 1: into the seven o'clock hour. Welcome and folks who are
0:06
Speaker 1: just getting up now, we've been at it since five,
0:10
Speaker 1: along with the people who wait for the health club
0:11
Speaker 1: to open and then the six o'clock clubbers. That's a
0:14
Speaker 1: more conventional wake up time. But if you're getting up
0:16
Speaker 1: at seven, no shame. In this game, you get up
0:18
Speaker 1: at seven to thirty, no shame, no shit. Glad you're
0:20
Speaker 1: in the huddle.
0:21
Speaker 2: And that's instructive, Drew, because you don't have to listen
0:23
Speaker 2: live either. For instance, very true Jay Arkin or Jarkin
0:27
Speaker 2: nine to twenty four on YouTube listening on delay a bit.
0:31
Speaker 2: But French fries were invented in Belgium, so there you go.
0:34
Speaker 2: A discussion we had half an hour ago. That's something
0:36
Speaker 2: you can do. Uh, if you're watching us on the
0:39
Speaker 2: video stream, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.
0:41
Speaker 3: X, you can watch us on delay as well.
0:43
Speaker 1: You can watch us over the air or of course
0:45
Speaker 1: in the hour al radio Adam straight, damn straight.
0:47
Speaker 2: It's fantastic the ways you can get to us today,
0:50
Speaker 2: and many people are thanks to the twelve hundred and
0:52
Speaker 2: counting listening to us right now.
0:53
Speaker 1: We like it eight seven seven seven nine. You're taking
0:56
Speaker 1: it to the Nicolay lot com talking textan. You gonna
0:58
Speaker 1: do a little buying and selling right now on a
1:01
Speaker 1: buy or so Tuesday, and I'll open the bidding as
1:05
Speaker 1: I often do. Do you buy or sell the notion?
1:07
Speaker 1: Armine said that you can't disrespect the pizza parbat 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. Another one. Now that
1:16
Speaker 1: 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 broke.
1:41
Speaker 1: I wish. I was talking to a friend of mine
1:43
Speaker 1: who is a Milwaukee native, grew up in Tosa and
1:47
Speaker 1: he moved to La many many many years ago. Okay,
1:50
Speaker 1: but he comes back once in a while. And he
1:52
Speaker 1: was back 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 shirt jersey to Dodger Stadium. I'm like, wellah,
2:02
Speaker 1: of course you wouldn't, because that is not a place
2:04
Speaker 1: where you would. But see, I don't think I would
2:07
Speaker 1: have a problem hostile environment. You wouldn't do it. I would,
2:11
Speaker 1: 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.
2:36
Speaker 3: But 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 fancy to fight with White
3:11
Speaker 1: Sox fans, Bruce fans and Cubs fans. There's always dust
3:13
Speaker 1: ups a American family field. I don't know, sometimes people
3:17
Speaker 1: 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.
3:33
Speaker 1: And that's how these fights start.
3:35
Speaker 2: But it's a patriotish I mean, you're not gonna have
3:38
Speaker 2: three hours of trash talking without somebody saying something that's
3:41
Speaker 2: finally going to trip a trigger, especially in the bleachers.
3:43
Speaker 2: So I guess there is fighting the bleachers, especially a
3:46
Speaker 2: tight game like that, like a seesaw game, where there's
3:48
Speaker 2: emotional swings.
3:50
Speaker 3: It wasn't like a ten to nothing route early on.
3:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I haven't been to a game actually at Wrigley,
3:55
Speaker 2: which surprised a lot of people, like my wife couldn't
3:58
Speaker 2: believe it. Drew I told, I said, you know, of
4:01
Speaker 2: all the games to be at that don't involve the Brewers,
4:03
Speaker 2: that would be a fun one to be at Cub
4:05
Speaker 2: Socks to watch the warring factions. And I said, I
4:08
Speaker 2: hadn't been to a game at either stadium. She couldn't
4:11
Speaker 2: believe that.
4:12
Speaker 1: 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.
4:25
Speaker 3: And there are there are a lot of games when
4:27
Speaker 3: they'll be like, you know.
4:28
Speaker 2: I don't care about Mariner's Rockies, I don't care about
4:31
Speaker 2: angels A's, but Socks Cubs would be a fun one
4:34
Speaker 2: as a neutral observer to go to. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
4:39
Speaker 2: I suppose. Yeah, you just cheer for both teams to lose. Yeah.
4:42
Speaker 2: Jeff and Fitzburg got Brewers gear on in La a
4:45
Speaker 2: few 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.
4:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true too. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy
4:53
Speaker 1: is your friend, right, that's true. Yeah, that's true. Pretty interesting,
4:57
Speaker 1: are you buying her selling that the Live Tour is
4:59
Speaker 1: done forever? And there might be somebody funding it that
5:03
Speaker 1: just pulled the plug on their last event of the
5:05
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season. It was a disaster. It always was.
5:08
Speaker 2: It was always a money ground for the players that
5:10
Speaker 2: were involved. You know, for the lower level guys. I
5:13
Speaker 2: couldn't at the time blame them for changing their family's
5:16
Speaker 2: life with this ridiculous.
5:18
Speaker 1: Money they were getting.
5:19
Speaker 2: But it was always going to be a mess, and
5:21
Speaker 2: it clearly is, and I think it's going to be
5:24
Speaker 2: 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 its funding and they're basically shutting down.
5:32
Speaker 3: But there's a guy I'm glad it failed. There's a
5:34
Speaker 3: bag that bob involved.
5:36
Speaker 1: The Live Golf CEO Scott O'Neil by concluding the season
5:41
Speaker 1: Now we can just put our full resources behind what
5:43
Speaker 1: comes next and maintain the operational riggor this transition demands.
5:47
Speaker 1: Yeah right. We are reimagining Live Golf as a fundamentally
5:50
Speaker 1: new league, owned by the players and anchored in a
5:52
Speaker 1: sustainable business model, with an evolved fan experience, built for
5:55
Speaker 1: the markets where the game is growing fastest across the globe,
5:57
Speaker 1: and the support of world class partners.
6:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't work, and it didn't work. It proves once
6:03
Speaker 2: 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 cling to a stuffed animal.
6:25
Speaker 3: I mean, they cling to their tradition. They cling to
6:27
Speaker 3: these dumb rours.
6:28
Speaker 1: You can't match the masters, you can't match it. And
6:31
Speaker 1: when you try. In the idea let them wear shorts
6:33
Speaker 1: and play music 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?
6:43
Speaker 3: People don't want to watch certain things that are out.
6:45
Speaker 2: We saw this during COVID when a lot of leagues
6:48
Speaker 2: tried to do many mini seasons and a lot of
6:51
Speaker 2: fans looked at it and said, these aren't.
6:53
Speaker 3: Real games, these are just this is just a little novelty.
6:55
Speaker 3: In the meantime, I think that's how people looked at
6:57
Speaker 3: the live situation.
7:00
Speaker 1: All Right, are you buying or selling that the glory
7:03
Speaker 1: days of Nike are over? I'm selling that.
7:08
Speaker 2: It's a great question, and I know that's been part
7:10
Speaker 2: of the discussion last year in.
7:11
Speaker 1: Sports Memorabilian sports merchandising. I think Nike is a brand that.
7:17
Speaker 2: I want to say is as close to Teflon as
7:19
Speaker 2: it gets for sports brands. But they have dropped an
7:21
Speaker 2: interest in market value.
7:22
Speaker 3: Right, They have lost their market caps five years. There's
7:26
Speaker 3: no question that they've taken a hit.
7:28
Speaker 2: So me saying by the very nature saying they're Teflon,
7:31
Speaker 2: it sounds silly, but isn't that a lot of it
7:33
Speaker 2: because of the business decisions they made and how they
7:36
Speaker 2: pivoted no one but but, but but the culture doesn't
7:39
Speaker 2: still look at a Nike tag and say that's a
7:41
Speaker 2: dorky thing to wear.
7:43
Speaker 1: It's people getting there. I don't know. Hokah's on cloud.
7:46
Speaker 3: Well, those are good. Those are good shoes that are
7:50
Speaker 3: a lot of it.
7:51
Speaker 2: People like people like Hokah's Brooks on Clouds a lot
7:55
Speaker 2: now as well, and there's 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?
8:18
Speaker 3: Because the Brooks and the Hookahs and stuff were good.
8:21
Speaker 2: For walkers and casual wears and people you know, like
8:24
Speaker 2: us that want comfortable shoes.
8:25
Speaker 3: I get it, and runners, But do I do?
8:29
Speaker 1: I don't know.
8:29
Speaker 3: There's not going to be like a Hokah shoe deal
8:31
Speaker 3: for an NBA athlete.
8:33
Speaker 1: One analyst said Nike was a brand defined by Michael
8:36
Speaker 1: Jordan's competitiveness and machismo and with a heavily male customer base.
8:41
Speaker 1: Then they thought they could double in size if they
8:43
Speaker 1: could be that and also be Lululemon at the same time. Yeah. Maybe,
8:46
Speaker 1: but instead they stopped being that while failing to be
8:49
Speaker 1: lululemenon now they are nothing. But I don't upstart competitors
8:54
Speaker 1: ate their lunch while they destroyed their brand and 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.
9:03
Speaker 1: There, some stuff there well, but I gotta go more
9:05
Speaker 1: than I guess.
9:06
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do fail. I don't think
9:08
Speaker 2: it's a failing brand. I mean it is failing in
9:10
Speaker 2: the sense that it's lost money.
9:11
Speaker 1: Okay, I get it.
9:12
Speaker 2: But like some of the had to do with the
9:13
Speaker 2: way they shifted online 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.
9:28
Speaker 3: I've researched this too much. Clearly people are like commercials.
9:31
Speaker 2: They were into like the marketing, the lifestyle, all that stuff.
9:35
Speaker 2: You're selling an image, and then people wanted comfortable footwear.
9:41
Speaker 2: There was a trend of like the Holcas and the Brooks,
9:42
Speaker 2: and Nike did not do good enough with their walking
9:45
Speaker 2: and running stuff. Now I think that some of the
9:48
Speaker 2: new ones are better, but they didn't do it good
9:49
Speaker 2: enough with that, and that's what's brought them behind. But
9:52
Speaker 2: I just think a brand like that will recycle and
9:54
Speaker 2: come back up again. 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. Okay, I don't get the difference. I guess
10:17
Speaker 1: they're emphasizing gender over sport. Like you know, Nike Golf
10:21
Speaker 1: was Nike Golf Nike.
10:23
Speaker 3: And so emphasizing Tiger Woods thing is lifestyle is.
10:29
Speaker 1: Gone. Now is the model of product appealing to basketball
10:31
Speaker 1: fans because they're basketball fans is not replaced by a
10:33
Speaker 1: model of, say, the product appealing to women because they
10:36
Speaker 1: are women. Women buy the lion's share of clothing in
10:39
Speaker 1: the United States, and then 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 ath 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 of
11:05
Speaker 1: well maybe, but.
11:07
Speaker 2: I just always see kids wearing Jordan's still, I guess,
11:10
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I guess Jordan's are probably still popular.
11:12
Speaker 2: It's probably the one thing, but the lack of innovation
11:14
Speaker 2: everywhere else as struggle has been And then again, the
11:18
Speaker 2: classic Nike crew neck is probably one of the most
11:21
Speaker 2: standard looking classics there is.
11:24
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
11:25
Speaker 2: Champion is no, people aren't Champion now. That's a brand
11:29
Speaker 2: that went out.
11:29
Speaker 1: Classic Champions never No, Champion's more popular now probably.
11:34
Speaker 2: Not really for like lifestyle, where is where are you
11:39
Speaker 2: hanging out?
11:39
Speaker 3: Champion was they had moments, they had a couple of.
11:41
Speaker 1: Moment Champions bigger than I think Champions better than Nike.
11:45
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about like for like reverse weave sweatshirts,
11:48
Speaker 3: rats and yeah, 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.
11:59
Speaker 3: I don't believe it. I'm sorry, we'll have to disagree
12:01
Speaker 3: on that.
12:02
Speaker 1: That's a sell for me.
12:03
Speaker 2: Okay, but a lot of people are selling Nike literally
12:07
Speaker 2: that's been their problem.
12:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, right there, this is a good one. Yeah, I
12:11
Speaker 1: mean so, yeah, the whole arc of Nike is funny,
12:14
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter as much as it 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.
12:24
Speaker 1: 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 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 that's how I feel.
13:01
Speaker 2: I think people will rather look cool than actually and
13:04
Speaker 2: sometimes like having like a conscience is looking cool, right,
13:07
Speaker 2: I think I think Nike, remember Tom.
13:10
Speaker 1: In some way, Nike might have just gotten too big. Yes,
13:13
Speaker 1: at the point, and then it was like but then
13:15
Speaker 1: they just the missteps kept flowing.
13:17
Speaker 3: To American Like overseas people aren't wearing 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 3: But I'm like, Europeans don't wear Nike, I don't think much.
13:26
Speaker 1: And that's where they big. Were they big during the
13:29
Speaker 1: World Cup to soccer is are they making soccer stuff
13:33
Speaker 1: 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.
13:41
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people have opinions on this,
13:43
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's just it used to be a brand
13:45
Speaker 1: like under Armour was the cool brand that all the
13:47
Speaker 1: kids were bugging their parents to get, and then they
13:50
Speaker 1: kind of got watered down and now we're just talking
13:52
Speaker 1: about farm and fleet and fleet farm that's where you
13:54
Speaker 1: find a bunch of under armours. Now you can find
13:55
Speaker 1: all this stuff on sale.
13:56
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's functional still for some people,
13:59
Speaker 2: I'm sure, and if you can get a deal. Paul,
14:01
Speaker 2: you want to see Paul Kay here on YouTube.
14:04
Speaker 1: I really don't like it.
14:05
Speaker 2: He wanted to talk about the Cubs in the white
14:07
Speaker 2: Sox thing.
14:08
Speaker 1: I really don't like it when the Cubs.
14:09
Speaker 2: Beat the Brewers and the Chicago fans wave the W
14:11
Speaker 2: flag if they lose, and they sho have no problem
14:13
Speaker 2: brew friends waving the l fail flag.
14:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think, I guess so. I mean,
14:17
Speaker 3: that's that's been a debate.
14:19
Speaker 1: Hoys. We don't like other fans.
14:21
Speaker 2: In our space as sports fans that's where Robers 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 1: There's no way, Tommy, there's no way. Yeah, there is.
14:35
Speaker 3: Well, okay, 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 3: There was a stretch like six six years ago maybe
14:47
Speaker 3: or eight years ago.
14:48
Speaker 1: 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.
14:54
Speaker 3: You get it at Target, you can't get anywhere.
14:57
Speaker 1: Get it online, get it on Brian Day. There's a
14:59
Speaker 1: Champion outlet stores, but there's no way Champing out stores
15:02
Speaker 1: 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 project, 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
15:23
Speaker 2: just don't see it.
15:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Man, Champion is like it's it's
15:27
Speaker 1: it's always been a constant. It's kind of like definitely
15:30
Speaker 1: a constant. Chuck Taylor's in certain circles never got 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 week 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.
15:44
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Well, I don't know why. And well,
15:47
Speaker 1: it's fashion because you want to be one identify with
15:50
Speaker 1: the brands. And that's just it. That's the whole premise
15:52
Speaker 1: is that Nike isn't the cool brand anymore. Part of it.
15:55
Speaker 1: Maybe Tiger Woods is fall from Grace, but they but Nike,
15:59
Speaker 1: you Ordan, Brandon, Jordan is untouchable. But the rest of it.
16:03
Speaker 1: And Runners now they buy Brooks Run, they.
16:06
Speaker 2: Buy you know that you struggle with Runners, And that's
16:08
Speaker 2: what I'm saying that 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. Definitely expensive. 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 1: Well that's what I'm saying. But you're right, But it
16:35
Speaker 1: seemed like like 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.
16:46
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I don't know that does Nike is Is
16:49
Speaker 1: it even associated? It's just so everywhere? Is it even cool?
16:52
Speaker 2: Like it's too I don't know, so it's too comm
16:55
Speaker 2: it's too saturated the market maybe in that sense in
16:58
Speaker 2: 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. It's
17:04
Speaker 1: not cool anything that definitely did.
17:05
Speaker 3: I mean, the marketing was cool back then, and that's
17:08
Speaker 3: 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. Dead Man TV. It's okay.
17:20
Speaker 3: Arman is just getting old old boomer SATs doesn't know.
17:23
Speaker 1: It's the South, the youth.
17:23
Speaker 3: Maybe I have just just you're just clinging to I
17:26
Speaker 3: don't like to think you remember, well Arman never got
17:28
Speaker 3: rid of his starter jackets.
17:29
Speaker 1: Well those are cool again.
17:31
Speaker 2: All the ninety stuff is cool again. If you would
17:34
Speaker 2: have kept all your nineties wind breakers, people were paying
17:36
Speaker 2: a mint for those on the internet. The sweatshirts I
17:40
Speaker 2: got Mcole's sale rack are now being sold in the
17:42
Speaker 2: 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 yeah it was there.
17:52
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was exploded yesterday. It slid
17:55
Speaker 1: 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 down. Well that's just crazy. That's just
18:10
Speaker 2: bad business, is it.
18:11
Speaker 3: But isn't that an opportunity? Isn't gonna go back up?
18:13
Speaker 1: That's too much if you're a Nike stockholder, are you
18:16
Speaker 1: holding it or you got all?
18:18
Speaker 2: You can't sell it now? It's not it's not worth
18:20
Speaker 2: selling it. I think it's got to go back up.
18:22
Speaker 1: Nike is too common. Thirteen years ago, you could buy
18:24
Speaker 1: a share of Nike stock at thirty eight dollars and
18:27
Speaker 1: that's where it is right now. So there you go,
18:30
Speaker 1: opportunity to buy.
18:31
Speaker 3: We're talking economics here on the huddle now twelve year low.
18:35
Speaker 1: 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.
18:44
Speaker 3: You could say, how much has fanatics killed it?
18:47
Speaker 2: Because a lot of the Nike stocks made with fanatics,
18:50
Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't associate fanatics of quality anymore.
18:53
Speaker 1: So maybe that hurt their reputation, you know what I mean?
18:57
Speaker 1: I don't know.
18:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's this is man. This is a fun one.
19:01
Speaker 2: I know.
19:02
Speaker 1: This is a this is a good one. 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 hit us.
19:10
Speaker 1: With your buy or sell propositions. Maybe it's just the
19:13
Speaker 1: University of Oregon has torpedoed it with all the uniforms
19:17
Speaker 1: 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.
19:23
Speaker 1: The little you want to buy it. Feel free, Feel free.
19:29
Speaker 1: But man, by the way, like the Caitlin Clark ones
19:33
Speaker 1: are still not out for sale.
19:35
Speaker 3: That's a problem. They went way too long. They bested
19:37
Speaker 3: 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 that Janna 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.
19:49
Speaker 1: We'll do more.
19:49
Speaker 2: Buy our Cells, Drew, I want to do a couple
19:51
Speaker 2: of buy our cells on Brewers Mariners.
19:53
Speaker 1: Let's go al memories. Got a lot to get to,

Speaker 2: Great weather day. As long as it doesn't right up there,
20:14
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be great. Low humidity that's been the
20:18
Speaker 2: big thing this week.
20:19
Speaker 1: It's running out of free uh training camp practices to
20:23
Speaker 1: watch too after today too left. So you haven't made
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 Kamisky Guaranteed Rate Field.
20:33
Speaker 3: I've been there, been there, but not for games.
20:36
Speaker 2: Went to concert at Wrigley, and I've been to Guaranteed
20:39
Speaker 2: Rate like driving by obviously and walking, but I never
20:42
Speaker 2: been in there for a game.
20:43
Speaker 1: No, I have not. Isn't that crazy for some people?
20:46
Speaker 1: It is? I guess maybe it's not crazy, but maybe yeah, uh,
20:50
Speaker 1: that is crazy. But have you ever been to a
20:52
Speaker 1: Packers practice? I have?
20:54
Speaker 2: Well, I was, Uh, I was there. We were the
20:57
Speaker 2: perch last year. But I was there as a fan too.
20:59
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I was at a shareholder meeting
21:01
Speaker 2: as a fan, as a young kid, or as a
21:03
Speaker 2: shareholder's friend. I guess I'm not a shareholder, but and
21:06
Speaker 2: I was at Packers practice as a fan buy or sell.
21:10
Speaker 2: That's still the best value in all of American sports
21:12
Speaker 2: 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.
21:37
Speaker 1: That was fun. Ye from the seven to one to
21:40
Speaker 1: five Buy or Sell Tuesday, Buy or Sell the ground
21:42
Speaker 1: beef at the Taco Bar. Side note, myself and a
21:45
Speaker 1: number of my friends got a bout of food poisoning
21:47
Speaker 1: for a wedding reception this weekend. Well that's bad luck.
21:50
Speaker 2: I mean when you when a wedding reception has bad
21:53
Speaker 2: food and the entire you know, the entire guest list
21:59
Speaker 2: is strict with this ailment, that's a bad, bad situation
22:03
Speaker 2: because there's only so many bathrooms, everyone's in formal wear,
22:06
Speaker 2: and you're starting to feel uncomfortable on the dance floor.
22:08
Speaker 2: I can see that, But I would buy generally the
22:11
Speaker 2: ground beat It's hard to screw up tackle meat, Am
22:13
Speaker 2: I wrong? And it's generally gonna be cooked through because
22:16
Speaker 2: it's not in big chunks. So I would buy that
22:19
Speaker 2: in every situation. You really can't beat that situation. Now,
22:23
Speaker 2: contamination can happen anywhere, you know. Unfortunately, maybe they had
22:26
Speaker 2: some tailor firms let us. I'm not really sure, but
22:29
Speaker 2: I would buy that situation. I think in general, you're
22:32
Speaker 2: gonna know what you're gonna get, you know, not happy
22:36
Speaker 2: to sorry about the ailment you were stricken 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.
22:56
Speaker 1: They had their.
22:57
Speaker 2: Disaster and rebounded from it. So there's ways to look
23:01
Speaker 2: 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.
23:30
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta be in a I gotta be
23:32
Speaker 3: in the cool enough I.
23:33
Speaker 1: Mean it's it's a little bit like you know, Levi's sure,
23:37
Speaker 1: 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 New
23:46
Speaker 1: Balance in terms of cachet and just the shoes more
23:48
Speaker 1: and more popular shoes basically, aren't they. I mean it's
23:51
Speaker 1: all personal preference pretty much. Well, if you lost the
23:54
Speaker 1: hardcore runners years ago to Brooks and the other brands
23:57
Speaker 1: and Hooka, 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.
24:17
Speaker 1: Know, And I just think, like Champion and converse like
24:21
Speaker 1: they 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
24:33
Speaker 1: haul there.
24:34
Speaker 2: And there's a couple that will will like protrude the market,
24:38
Speaker 2: where like the new Balance five fifty was popular a
24:41
Speaker 2: couple of summers ago in terms of shoes, like I
24:43
Speaker 2: tell like a sneaker head. Now Rebox got the Club
24:45
Speaker 2: C eighty five's, like people still love those. But like
24:48
Speaker 2: the Adida Samba has been this shoe the last year,
24:51
Speaker 2: Like every every young female has an Adida Samba on
24:56
Speaker 2: even though they're like uncomfortable indoor soccer shoes. They weren't
25:00
Speaker 2: in casually like no other shoes. So some things just
25:03
Speaker 2: hit the culture, Drew, and you can't really question the culture.
25:05
Speaker 1: That's true.
25:06
Speaker 2: Jess Man says, I like Brooks because they have a
25:07
Speaker 2: sixty return policy. Yeah, well they're just good for the white.
25:10
Speaker 1: Foot kings like me like you, Yeah, all right, what
25:13
Speaker 1: buy our cells do 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.
25:19
Speaker 1: Does it remind you like the AL days.
25:21
Speaker 2: No other team like the Brewers switched from the ALE
25:23
Speaker 2: to the NL, right except for the Astros they had that,
25:26
Speaker 2: So no teams switched leagues that the Brewers did.
25:28
Speaker 1: And for a while, every time there was an interleague game.
25:31
Speaker 2: I was nostalgic about the American League days. Like so
25:35
Speaker 2: it was always like the White Sox, you know, for
25:38
Speaker 2: a while, you'dn't be nostalgic about those rivalry matchups between
25:41
Speaker 2: gar and those guys in the nineties. And is that
25:44
Speaker 2: still a thing or is there It's been so long
25:47
Speaker 2: since the Brewers switched leagues twenty eight years now and
25:51
Speaker 2: there's been so much interleague are we desensitized to the
25:53
Speaker 2: novelty aspect of playing an American League team now? Always
26:00
Speaker 2: thought we had more nostalgia factor because we were in
26:03
Speaker 2: both leagues, you know, so if you grew up watching
26:06
Speaker 2: 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
26:14
Speaker 2: griffied you know days.
26:16
Speaker 1: But that might be gone. Yeah, the interleague play and
26:21
Speaker 1: seeing every team all the time, 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 2: birs get the face Aaron Judge every year.
26:38
Speaker 1: Every other year in Milwaukee. 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 yes, I like, you know, I've
27:06
Speaker 1: been I've seen the Brewers in the American League as
27:09
Speaker 1: long as I've seen him in the National League. Right,
27:12
Speaker 1: And for like the people Hunter's age and you know,
27:15
Speaker 1: Billy's age, all they know is the National League, so.
27:18
Speaker 3: Right, so they have no they have no reference with
27:20
Speaker 3: the Nossultia.
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 3: Yes, I'll post it later on on Twitter.
27:27
Speaker 1: No, I know it's a jimp.
27:29
Speaker 2: Paski called it nine Creb one of the great fights
27:33
Speaker 2: ever that no one talks about. Like nine minutes Treb
27:35
Speaker 2: 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 bees 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.
27:58
Speaker 3: Probably, So it's just pretty crazy. You watch that.
28:01
Speaker 2: I'll pull some stuff on twitterly great memory, buy Oursel Drew.
28:06
Speaker 2: When you're in a Pennant race and you're in first
28:08
Speaker 2: place and you're trying to hold off a hot team
28:10
Speaker 2: like the Brewers are, there's a war, there's a it's
28:13
Speaker 2: sometimes harder to get up for a series like this,
28:16
Speaker 2: and there's more of a pressure on you to win
28:18
Speaker 2: a game like this than there is like the Dodgers
28:21
Speaker 2: series because obviously the Dodgers looked at it as a
28:23
Speaker 2: bitter or a better opponent, tougher opponent. Everyone's gonna expect
28:26
Speaker 2: the Brewers to roll the Mariners.
28:28
Speaker 1: 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?
28:33
Speaker 1: Uh? Is there more pressure? I mean I've been warning
28:36
Speaker 1: people for a long time, don't look at records, don't
28:38
Speaker 1: look 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 3: Yeah, no rhyme or reason. That's why in some ways
28:53
Speaker 3: 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 down 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. That's going to feel
29:24
Speaker 1: good back at home. So yeah, I wouldn't you just
29:29
Speaker 1: don't just don't discount anybody because it Yeah, that's death
29:34
Speaker 1: in baseball is to look past somebody. Oh you can
29:36
Speaker 1: win that series. Again, how do the Brewers play against
29:40
Speaker 1: the Pirates?
29:40
Speaker 3: Right, you have to be every team can get you,
29:43
Speaker 3: every team can get you every day.
29:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. So it's just like that, that just
29:48
Speaker 1: doesn't that's not a thing. And like I said before,
29:51
Speaker 1: like when the Rockies came in right before the trade deadline,
29:54
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys wanted to get traded. They
29:56
Speaker 1: were playing their asses off. They were happy to be
29:57
Speaker 1: playing in front of a spirited crowd for a change,
30:00
Speaker 1: and they they got juice off of that even though
30:02
Speaker 1: they're you know right, there were no Rockies fans in
30:05
Speaker 1: the stands. Really it was you know, just discount that.
30:09
Speaker 1: Put that 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.
30:18
Speaker 3: They're talking about Brewers and uniforms.
30:20
Speaker 2: And we're talking a little bit about the the aesthetics
30:24
Speaker 2: of sports and the apparel sell The pot of blue
30:27
Speaker 2: jerseys would not pair with powder of blue pants?
30:29
Speaker 1: Was that a swinging and missed by the Brewers.
30:30
Speaker 2: I like the pot of blue ones, but a lot
30:32
Speaker 2: of people were saying they should have also made it
30:34
Speaker 2: 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 on
30:48
Speaker 2: the road, right, gray pants. Yeah, but if you had
30:51
Speaker 2: the pottle 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.
31:00
Speaker 1: That adds up.
31:01
Speaker 3: But there's no question I think it would look good
31:03
Speaker 3: as a full set.
31:04
Speaker 1: Look better. Yeah, I agree, it's going to throw it back,
31:08
Speaker 1: throw it all the way back. It does.
31:10
Speaker 2: It does not bother me though as as much as
31:12
Speaker 2: it bother some, it was really bothersome for a lot
31:14
Speaker 2: of people this year when they when they released.
31:16
Speaker 1: That, people were like really upset about it. I can't
31:19
Speaker 1: care that much, but eight seven seven seven like this one.
31:24
Speaker 3: Only Phil buy ours out. The Dodgers are like Nike,
31:27
Speaker 3: and the.
31:27
Speaker 1: Cubs are hunch puppies.
31:29
Speaker 2: Would the Brewers be champions then, well, we could be
31:31
Speaker 2: the champion brand if you want to use a metaphor there.
31:34
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I'd like us to be real champions.
31:36
Speaker 2: That'd be good, all right, jess Man, Cardinals to the
31:39
Speaker 2: full set. A lot of teams do a lot of teams.
31:41
Speaker 2: The Royals do, a lot of teams. Were the full
31:42
Speaker 2: set of the Baby Blues and Bruises. Don't Maybe they'll
31:45
Speaker 2: make that additional next year. You never know, not sure, right, Yeah, yeah,
31:49
Speaker 2: I can see it. Keep them coming eight seven seven
31:51
Speaker 2: seven nine three. You got to buy or sell proposition
31:54
Speaker 2: for us. We started the show talking about how baseball
31:58
Speaker 2: is the best sport to follow when your team is good.
32:00
Speaker 2: You're buying or selling that because the Brewers didn't play
32:02
Speaker 2: last night much need to reset, little break, and yet
32:05
Speaker 2: you were still invested in Cubbs White Sox and you're
32:10
Speaker 2: still living and dying with that, and now you're invested
32:13
Speaker 2: in watching what the Dodgers and Braves will do as
32:15
Speaker 2: the Brewers are.
32:16
Speaker 1: Trying to finish with one of the top two records
32:17
Speaker 1: in the league. That to me is like doesn't exist
32:20
Speaker 1: in other sports. I mean not as much. It's not
32:24
Speaker 1: as prevalent or as bankable. And every year it seems
32:27
Speaker 1: like this year is going to be unbelievable at the
32:30
Speaker 1: bottom of the races. Here we are sitting at the top,
32:32
Speaker 1: the bottom of the American League with like ten teams

Speaker 1: Happy place hemp dot com. What do you got?
35:14
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.
35:36
Speaker 1: I'm trying. I'm trying to wrap my head around.
35:38
Speaker 2: This, and it's definitely a waken baked situation because I'm
35:40
Speaker 2: trying to wrap my head around how Derek and Madison's
35:43
Speaker 2: buy our sell invention would work.
35:44
Speaker 1: But hey, this could this could work. I mean, if
35:47
Speaker 1: you make it work, you might get rich. Derek.
35:49
Speaker 2: Inside out Cheeto true, didn't they sell naked Cheetos for
35:53
Speaker 2: a while. They might have, And you always said crunch
35:55
Speaker 2: or puffed because I always thought, I don't like getting messy, right,
35:59
Speaker 2: so I don't wanted. I love Cheetos, but I don't
36:01
Speaker 2: want to get the powder, so I always avoid him
36:03
Speaker 2: for that reason.
36:04
Speaker 1: There you go. Cheetos simply n k d simply.
36:07
Speaker 3: Really so they were naked Cheetos, so they had the
36:10
Speaker 3: taste of Cheetos.
36:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, with no dies or artificial flavors.
36:13
Speaker 3: Well that is okay, So that's so it exists.
36:17
Speaker 1: Sort of, yeah, sort of. I don't know about inside out. Well,
36:20
Speaker 1: we can even get him flame it hot because it's
36:22
Speaker 1: 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 also then
36:30
Speaker 2: they still sell the Cheetos branded mac and cheese.
36:33
Speaker 1: I've had that in my Viking Weekend moments.
36:37
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

36:49
Speaker 1: put out the naked Cheetos and and Doritos. See Naked
36:54
Speaker 1: became cool simply NKD a reinvention of Dorito's and Cheeto
36:57
Speaker 1: flavors with no artificial flavors and completely colorless.
37:01
Speaker 3: They knew the younger the gen zame flavor, 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 3: It's the same thing drew as the shoot discussion.
