This Is Still A Sneaker Podcast...

Jordan 1 Nigel Sylvester access, the truth about Supreme x Margiela, and why the sneaker market is officially "boring."

In Episode 44of The 12 Hub Podcast, Hugh and Drew dive deep into the current state of sneaker culture, from the exclusive access "W" on the Nigel Sylvester "Better With Time" Jordan 1 Lows to the absolute tanking of the CPFM market. We break down the Supreme x Maison Margiela drop—why the box logo hype feels different in 2026 and why paying resale is a losing game.

Beyond the leather and rubber, we get into the "nostalgia trap," comparing the 2026 digital landscape to the gritty days of BMX bikes (shoutout to Rad), Mongoose vs. GT Performers, and the "scrambled" era of media consumption. Whether you're a veteran collector with 600 pairs or just trying to hit on the next Travis Scott "Shy Pink" drop, this episode is a reality check on the industry.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

Hey, welcome to the 12 Hub Podcast, episode number 43. Drew Hugh Kari is stuck in traffic. Is that what he says? Infamous DC traffic. Infamous DC.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

Which sucks, yo. DC traffic blows.

SPEAKER_01 0:43

I don't think it's that. Well, yeah, it's got more traffic than New York. Everybody always says New York has bad traffic. I never experienced that when I was living there. I mean, there's been traffic, but not like DC or LA. LA is the worst. Can't do LA.

SPEAKER_02 0:55

I'll tell you what, Texas is not far behind LA right now. Straight up. Terrible.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

China, really. This is weird. You seem so bigger than me on the screen right now because of this.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

I know. Just larger than life.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

You are, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

I put on a few pounds. You don't need to remind me. It's muscle though, right? Yeah, I wish.

SPEAKER_01 1:17

Yeah. Yeah. So we're here to talk about sneakers. Snickers, sneakers, sneakers. Oh, wait. Sneakers. Access to better than exclusive. We're not talking about sneakers. No, we are. So they they re-released the um Nigel Sylvester's Better with Time, Jordan 1 Lowe's.

SPEAKER_02 1:37

Jordan 1 Lowe.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

I got exclusive access. I got in on time, but I didn't get anything. There probably was very limited pairs.

SPEAKER_02 1:45

I saw a couple W's. I I got access, but I didn't go for them. I wish I should have gone for you. I didn't even know you really know what to me. The flipping is just whatever. What are you gonna make? 20 bucks? 30 bucks?

SPEAKER_01 2:00

More dollars than you had yesterday.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

That's yeah, that's too much work. I'm too lazy for to work that hard for 20 bucks.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

It's not that much work. You just get it. You wait for the you pay for it, wait for the shoe to come in, put it on go to go. I get it.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

Listen, I'm still trying to sell these freaking CPFM pants. They tanked.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

The market is tanked on that shit. The hype was crazy as people were purchasing things, and then the celebs got it up there, but like I think the gear is out of season. That's what it is. That's very like outer wear, you know what I mean? Like right now, it's springtime almost, you know. It was 80, it's 85 degrees here today. Yeah, we had a nice day too. It was like 75.

SPEAKER_02 2:51

I didn't go outside though.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

Oh, I did. I woke the dog. I woke the dog. It was cold this morning.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

I had to get outside. I can't uh I I had to actually had to get outside because the the kids are home. I guess they're not the young adults are home for spring break, and uh the youngest, he has just this terrible, terrible affection for perfume, like cologne and fragrance. Oh my god, he washed his clothes. I I literally I had I threw all his clothes in his room because it smelled it was so fragrant. It woke me up in the bedroom, like straight up, like the smell wafted into the it was crazy, anyway.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Yeah, yeah, very perfumey. You're supposed to put it on your body, not on your clothing. Do they understand? Does the child understand?

SPEAKER_02 3:40

No, like you also don't need to apply it like 20 times in one, like, and and then reapply in an hour, like carry it around with you. It's wild.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

They just you know what the kids I did this in college. I think when I was in college, I used to think like I have to smell it, so I I'd overapply. Then I learned all you gotta do is put on the wrist, rub it right here. No one wants to smell that shit.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

No one no one wants to smell like the inside of a cologne bottle. I don't I don't get it. I never did that shit as a kid.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Isn't that the purpose to smell like the cologne bottle?

SPEAKER_02 4:11

It should be subtle. It just should be subtle. Just kind of scent the air, but no.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Yeah, well, we're here now. At least he doesn't smell like feet.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

No sneaker feet. He goes back tomorrow. I can't wait to see what the airport's gonna be like.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Oh, yeah, good luck with that. Do you have any trouble getting in? Because all this stuff was.

SPEAKER_02 4:34

Nah, Savannah's a small airport, so DFW might be a different situation.

SPEAKER_01 4:42

Yeah, I have no trouble getting in. I'm flying to New York um next week, so see how that goes.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

Oh man, pick me up some B alleys.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Don't try.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

I'm gonna be up in uh I'm kidding. Don't pick me up.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Fed XMT. I'll be in the uh where I gotta be. I forgot where Park Avenue Wall Street area, I think. I think I can't remember. Lower East Side. Big time. Fancy. That's where the office is. Too fancy. There, yeah. Fucking hotels are crazy over there. 600, 700 hours a night. I know. For bullshit too. These are like small ass boutique hotels. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 5:24

I don't miss, I don't miss working in New York and staying there. I don't I don't miss it. I mean, I miss New York for pleasure, but not not to work in. I hated the hustle.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Yeah, I don't, I don't, I never minded it when I was there because uh, you know, I like that lifestyle, but um, and I lived in Queens at the time. Going, I used to work in Soho. The train ride was treacherous. And if I did stay in the city, oh my god, getting home, man, well late, late night, man. You you stay in the city after 1 a.m., man, you're just in them subway tunnels for hours just waiting for a fucking train that's not gonna come.

SPEAKER_02 5:59

I got most of my tat my most of my ink in New York. I used to commute there from Philly fucking all day, man. All day affair, and then sitting on the frickin' train going back to Philly, all oozing and gross from like getting 10 hours worth of work done at one shot.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

It's terrible. Yo, your video is like really grainy right now. What's going on? Is it? Yeah. It's really bad. I can't even see you anymore. It'll probably catch up. It's catching up. I got good news. My internet is faster than most cars. Yeah. I'm so happy. I upgraded the internet. I mean, not upgraded, I just I find out these weird things in life that that are simple to fix, you know, like, oh, your your uh Ethernet switch in your house is obsolete. I bought in 2015. You know, it's a one gigabit switch, but who knows? Who knew that that one gigabit was split between the eight ports? Right? So I was getting 100, you know what I mean? Like 150 down and up or whatever, split. And I was always wondering, like, damn, whenever I hook something up directly, like why hardwire it, it was so slow. So uh my friend was telling me, I was like, I should upgrade it one day. So I did. That's why I'm doing this whole office renovation. And my friend was like, Yeah, you should get it. If your thing is slow, what you think? I was like, 100 gigabits, and he must he was like, it must be an old one. If you get a new one, you'll probably be able to uh get faster in that. So I just bought a 2.5 gigahertz one, uh gigabigabit one, I mean. So that's working, it's great. It's everything I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

If you have a hundred gigabit pipe, you're you're like in the future. Oh yeah, one gigabit.

SPEAKER_01 7:51

In the future.

SPEAKER_02 7:52

Yeah, no, you have one, you don't have a hundred gigabit trying to save you from the trolls on the internet.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Oh, I said a hundred gigabit? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

You did.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Whatever, same shit. One 100, who cares? Doesn't matter. Anyway, yeah, so I I fixed that. Uh got uh audio interface, rewired everything, but an extra monitor, which I probably didn't need. And I'm running my Mac Mini, which is actually slower than my MacBook Pro.

SPEAKER_02 8:26

Hey, live life in access, right?

SPEAKER_01 8:28

Yeah, but it's it's good enough. I think I'm gonna work with this until I get the uh Mac Studio, which I'm saving my shekels for. Uh anyway, all right, so sneakers is what we talk about every week here. I love the floral swoosh Air Jordan 1. I missed it today. It dropped this today or yesterday. Did it drop today? I don't know. It's on that's on that sneakers app, yeah. I saw it on the sneakers. Let me see.

SPEAKER_02 8:57

I didn't think it dropped today. Man, I could be wrong. Could be. I'm trying not to look. No, it's it dropped today.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

I saw it on sneakers, it was sizes. Hold on. I'm tripping, am I tripping?

SPEAKER_02 9:09

Yeah, you're tripping. Because the thing at the book two dropped, the the fragment release dropped today. Already updated the site. Slides.

SPEAKER_01 9:18

Yeah, here it is. Still in stock. Yeah, there's still on floors of coconut milk. Yeah, sale coconut milk. No, not my size. Oh, yeah. They don't go to 11. 11 is the highest. Yeah, probably can be cheap on resale. These are fire, those things.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

I don't think you'll have a problem finding those. I don't think any shoes that I like have a problem.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

It's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 9:39

That shoe would drive me nuts. It'd get dirty instantly.

SPEAKER_01 9:42

You don't own any white shoes? That's kinda gummy bottom.

SPEAKER_02 9:47

I don't love an all one-color shoe, but they're okay. I don't I'm not mad at them. It's just it's a gradient. That's a gradient?

SPEAKER_01 9:57

Where?

SPEAKER_02 9:58

Yeah, I mean it's like cream and and off-white.

SPEAKER_01 10:01

Yeah. It's two colors.

SPEAKER_02 10:03

All right, two colors. It's a variation of white.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

And it's got these little things like the flow, floral prints.

SPEAKER_02 10:09

Man, you'll argue the phone book.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

That is crazy. No, people. Drew has been hyper-critical of me since I gave him permission to be hypercritical of him. That is not true. Ever since I said, nah, tell me, tell me what's wrong. It's a bunch of things. I want to hear, I want to hear if you have a problem, tell me. Ever since that day, I opened my mouth, say two words. You know what you do? You complain too much. You know what you do? You're too defensive. You know you're you're transphobic. You're this, you're that. Then don't ask. If you don't want to hear the truth, don't ask me. It's not the truth. I am far from transphobic. I never said you were transphobic. I was saying that. Roll the tape. Yeah, I swear. You did say I was anti-Semitic. Oh, you didn't. I never said that either.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

You called yourself anti-Semitic, not me.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

No, I didn't do that. Nobody did that.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

I don't sling insults like that.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

I just're pro-Semitic.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Um man. There's you got any pickups? Are we getting into pickups? Like, are we talking sneakers? Or are we wanna just you know have a therapy session?

SPEAKER_01 11:16

I'm down for a therapy session. No, no, we don't need to do all that therapies for the week. For the week, man. Uh so yeah, I picked up another pair of neons. Uh how many pairs of neons do you have?

SPEAKER_02 11:30

I think we need to have an intervention. They restocked on I know. But yo, they charge you. How many pairs in total? Did they? Four. You sold four pairs of neons.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

Four of the new ones, yeah. And then my old pair so have five total. Um, but they um uh what was it? Oh no, I didn't even get it. Like, I bought one from DTLR when they restocked, a 10 and a half, and it hasn't shipped yet. I bought that like over a week ago. I bought it on the 11th. DTL DTLR takes, I feel like it takes forever to get stuff. They sent me that bum ass size four um Jordan Lakers. I mean, yeah, Jordan 4 Lakers that I didn't order. I ordered a size 12, but it came up a size four. I don't know how that happened.

SPEAKER_02 12:16

That's why you got it so quick.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

I know they were like they flipped the order on me. Yeah, so that happened. Uh, what else did I get? Uh oh, I bought those shoes. I sent you guys a screenshot. Some skate shop uh restocked those um what was it? Those shits remember I got the yeah, I got the the the damn thing where I got those. And I heard they're coming out with another colorway. I saw it on the it dropped in Canada. Yeah, that's a dope colorway. I like the original though, a little more.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

I I like the other, I like the blue and yellow colorway. I think that's a nicer colorway, but um yeah, the the wolf gray and orange is easier to wear. Yeah, the wolf gray and orange. Yes, it's wolf gray.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

Yeah, that's funny. I was looking at the task. I call those fruity Krugers. Those shoes that you those are Fruity Krugers, yeah. They do look kind of like a fruity Kruger, fruity version. I want to wait for Kari to get here so we can talk about Jeff Staple.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

All right, we can wait. So here I'll I I could show I got these came in today.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Oh, nice. I where oh you got them from Segate Shop, right?

SPEAKER_02 13:26

Uh from Premiere.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Yeah, I didn't even try. They could they cut on sneakers?

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Uh I don't know. Actually, I haven't seen them loaded on sneakers, so maybe next week they might load.

SPEAKER_01 13:39

Those are the Deshaun Jax Johnson.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

They're not, I don't think these are gonna be hype to get them. They're very dope.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

No, they're they're they're just uh above 200, they're about 200 bucks on resale right now. But it's that's one of the nicest dunks that I've seen in a while. SBs. Look at that.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

That's not my favorite. Yeah, it's a snake on the the lace charm. The quality looks good. It's okay. I wish I wish the snake skin was actually like textured like snake skin. Smooth. It's not no, it's like leather or pleather. The materials are okay. It's not my favorite, but no, I didn't pick these up for me, as usual. On the plug. Does come with a lot of laces, though.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

Every one of those things comes with a lot of laces, bro.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Although it didn't come in a cream box, came in a purple box. Like the purple box. Which I find interesting. Yeah, but usually the collabs don't they usually do uh a purple box or a cream box.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Uh what were we doing before I rudely interrupted us?

SPEAKER_02 14:46

Um we were talking about the Deson Deshaun Jacksons.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

And then I think that's when we paused.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

So Yeah, I like the shoe. I think I'm gonna, when it comes out, I'll go get a pair.

SPEAKER_02 15:01

Or two or three. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be a hard one to get. That the other one that's releasing is kind of interesting. The uh, what the heck is it called? It's like that all beige shoe, but it's got the biscuits sock liner. I don't know if you've seen that.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

John's putting out a technique on sneakers.

SPEAKER_02 15:23

Uh I think Kari, it's the Manchester. I don't know. I haven't been paying attention. Flat here, I'll text it to you if you want to put it on the screen or whatever. It's it's got a cool sock liner. But other than that, I mean it's not it's a very basic colorway.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

I like this. Look at that. It looks like a uh cool shoe.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

There's my video again. Still?

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Look at that. I like it.

SPEAKER_02 16:09

Coffee and biscuits. So I like the cookies on the inside of the shoe, or excuse me, the biscuits on the inside of the sock liner there. That's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

And the laces are a cool touch, but the Brits called cookies biscuits. That's interesting.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

Well, it's British.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

I do like the laces, they look cool the way the contrast on there makes it cool. Yeah, it's a nice shoe. It's clean too. It's like you throw it on with a whole bunch of other shit. Oh, the back.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Yeah, but if you have the wheats, it's kind of it's kind of tough to justify another age.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

It's a little different. It's a little different.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

Just do a lace swap. I like the gum sole and the the weeds better, but gum soul is always a win.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Oh, gum soles, dubs with a sucker for the gummies. Yeah. I just realized, man. Sneakers are boring, yo. I just didn't talk about sneakers. I'm like, this is boring. Not to say not to say that the culture's boring.

SPEAKER_02 17:16

I'm just saying, like, the I just think it's a weird time in sneakers right now. I I think there's not a lot of excitement. And I think a lot of the collectors that have been at it for a hot minute, even you, like been at it for a while, it's just it's not even there's just not a lot of excitement right now. Long enough. With with it's how big you've grown a collection in five years, you your your duration of collecting kind of your your amount trumps that pardon the bad expression.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Well, we talked to Eddie, I'm just still a new booty. Doesn't matter what I get.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Anybody that has over 600 pairs of sneakers, like you're you're in the game. That's all for sure. I don't care how all right, Al Bundy.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Yeah. So today's Supreme drop, the Margella drop. Uh we all went through something. Did you go? You get anything?

SPEAKER_02 18:11

No, I couldn't. Well, I was only going for the hoodie, the the box logo hoodie, the zip up. I just I had three in my cart, and I didn't hit on any of them.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

Yeah, they all uh it sold out within seconds.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

So and I even which I don't do often, but I even had a uh buddy of mine who has a bot bought the drop for me and he couldn't even hit.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Were you buying it for personal use?

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Yeah, uh that's personal for me. Well, I was just buying one, I wasn't like trying to cop like a hundred.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Go on um stock X, find you a box logo, distress it, just run it over with your fancy car a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

Yeah, but even the box logo resale stuff. I just I can't pay resale for Supreme. It has to be a really like coveted piece for me. I just can't do it.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

I didn't think the hoodie was that dope. The other hoodie with the eagle on it, that was pretty fire. I wouldn't like that. I think they should have been much subtle, maybe just a regular hoodie with the eagle print on the back. Uh the sleeves, they the sleeves ruin it to for me, but yeah, I but I don't have a zip up box logo.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Like that's why I wanted it.

SPEAKER_01 19:21

So I really you don't have a zip-up box logo, neither do I.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

Nah.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

Okay. I never I like their other logos, man. The one the one I bought a couple weeks ago with the um like the gas station or the oil can. Yeah. It's cool. That looks dope. I got that joint. I love it.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

It's timeless, though. I mean, it's just it's supreme. I mean, you you can't have supreme without the box logo.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

These are facts. Yeah, this thing. See, when they do, yeah, this one, this is on the front. Let me show it to y'all. It's watching out here in the shit. Why'd I do that? Damn it. I just uh stopped the screen. Close the window, man. Yeah, I gotta get used to this new setup. There's way too much like stuff going on. Too many screens and shit going on. Like, okay, I was mistaken. I I looked at the red. See the red. This is horrible.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

Ugh, yeah. That color blocking's terrible. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

So why is this one 240 and the other one? The basic box logo is$100 more. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

I because it's a box logo.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

That's not even a justification, bro. It's simple.

SPEAKER_02 20:31

I've I didn't make the rules.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Yeah, they made you. Oh, come on, Broski. Give me the give me the little. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Is it lined? I didn't even look like the details on it. I just knew I wanted it. Because that that navy one is oh, it's 290. I thought it was 100 on the one.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Yeah, it's just a regular ass box logo. This is nothing.

unknown 20:49

It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

This is just some paint splatter. That's nothing. See, where's the Margello logo? That's what I want to know. Where is it? Just a Supreme.

SPEAKER_02 20:57

Yeah, I don't think it's on there.

SPEAKER_01 20:59

And the tag says Margella. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

Mason Margella. So yeah. In my sneaker, in one of my sneaker groups, I only saw one person hit. He hit on like a small. Like, who the frick wears a small?

SPEAKER_01 21:14

I do like uh man, these uh these jeans are fire.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

I do like those jeans. I thought they were and there's I think they still have full size run in those. But so no, it's sold out. Yeah, no, they sold out. There was another pair that they had, uh, I thought they still had inventory, but the I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

I'm so on the fence about buying, no, they don't have my size. They did last week.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

SPEAKER_02 44:00

My dad was out of the house by then. My parents were divorced, so it was just me, my mom, and my brother and sister.

SPEAKER_01 44:06

Oh my god, what'd she do to you? What was the punishment?

SPEAKER_02 44:09

Yeah, my mom was pretty cool about it. What my mom was like that though. She didn't get mad. It was weird. My mom just wasn't like my brother, on the other hand, they arrested him because he tried to kill me. Like what? He came home from school and the cops are all there, and he literally ejected out of the out of the school bus and was strangling me on the front lawn.

unknown 44:32

Why?

SPEAKER_02 44:32

The cops physically restrained because I burnt the house down. I burnt all his all his freaking porn magazines were all over the front lawn and all like computer shit. His whole life was gone.

SPEAKER_01 44:44

His porn and his computer shit that he downloaded porn on, probably.

SPEAKER_02 44:50

What year was this? This was this eight late 80s. So I mean, uh, he wasn't downloading a bunch of hustlers and swank magazines.

SPEAKER_01 44:59

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:59

Swank.

SPEAKER_01 45:03

What a time. Yo, the way the the the way we consumed media back then was so different.

SPEAKER_02 45:10

You you could look at the same magazine over and over again and still have the same experience.

SPEAKER_01 45:14

So, yeah, Sean. Sean and I had this conversation about that shit. You're talking about like back in college how or even high school, you'd be trading around the same porn flick. Like everybody had the same, you got it from one guy and then another. It's like it leads to the whole fact because we were talking about who pays for porn. Like, you got even if it's just like a subscription tool, like why would you pay for OnlyFans or any of that shit, right? There's no point. It's free, it's on the internet now. And like even back in the day, you get you get the shit from your homeboy. Like, he's a sucker pay for it, and you just borrow it. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 45:46

Yeah, it still from your parents.

SPEAKER_01 45:48

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Well, my dad had a stash, but it wasn't like you know what I'm saying, it wasn't like um crazy. He had like two two tapes and a like a three mag three or four magazines. Oh man, nothing wild. And and it's like, damn, this is what you when you're taking a break in the bathroom or whatever. This is what you did, this is all you had right here.

SPEAKER_02 46:09

I don't know. I remember growing up, we my dad, like we went to a barber shop in South Philly. Gus, Gus was the shit. My dad would be sitting there reading his Playboy. We'd be like sitting next to him, we'd all be looking at the freaking Playboy. We're like little kids. So sitting there reading the Playboys, getting his hair cut, he's getting his nails done, like manicure.

SPEAKER_01 46:31

He's getting nails done.

SPEAKER_02 46:32

It's the whole nine, man. He was just extra about everything, but yo, he had no problem busting out the Playboy in front of all of us. Like that was just normal.

SPEAKER_01 46:42

That's back when men could be men. That's right. The barbershop looking at porn together.

SPEAKER_02 46:49

Yes, that's right. It's family affair, yes, it's how we bond.

SPEAKER_01 46:55

That's wild, bro. I can't even fathom looking at porn and my dad at a barbershop of all places. Although, I do you really consider Playboy porn?

SPEAKER_02 47:03

It's close enough. Is it? I mean, there's no like it's not really hardcore, it's it's kind of like NC17.

SPEAKER_01 47:11

Well, compared to what we would consume now, like think about back then, just seeing a titty or something like that was like a oh my god, you know, it's not like and then like where are you gonna find the window to do something to that? You know, you you had to like really sneak around when you were a kid to get this shit done. Now, kids got shit on their phone. They could go, I know, they could go to a public bathroom and beat off and then come back home, right? They could go McDonald's and beat off, they can go wherever the fuck they want with a phone, right? Just put your headphones in, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 47:39

It's I used to love it though. Late at night, like my dad got cable with a scrambled channel. Come on, man. You feel it? Like you get that tooth I can freaking, oh my god, that was a teddy.

SPEAKER_01 47:50

That's what we had to do. Yo, let me tell you, I used to tape that shit. I put on the the the Playboy joint while it was scrambled and record it and and and do the slow on the on the video cassette to catch the catch the thing. But you know what's like I don't even know if they heard I don't know because there's no I didn't have headphones, so you're like listening to the like late at night, you're doing your thing, it's a scrambled porn and shit. You think the walls don't have ears? Well, the walls have ears. Like I'd be on the other side of the house, but still, the like if somebody's walking in the hallway and they hear the TV in there and it's a bunch of moaning and shit. Like, uh you know, like you don't think about it, but how many times do you think your parents just kind of like ignored it? Uh all the time and ask any questions.

SPEAKER_02 48:37

There were now that my dad would be like, Listen, whatever you're fucking doing, don't make a mess. Clean up after yourself. That was it. He's like, I'm not gonna sit there and stop you, but just don't make a mess. Make sure I don't step into anything.

SPEAKER_01 48:49

Yeah, I didn't have that relationship with my dad or my mom, so we never talked about sex or anything in the house.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

Uh we didn't really talk about it, but my dad was just he didn't like his like everything had an order. So it didn't matter what you were doing. If it kind of went out of order, he was very mad. Like we were little kids, he would come into our bedrooms, like my brother and I, and empty all our drawers if they weren't folded right, like dump it all in the middle of the room and like scream at us for being slobs. So he was very uh he was very OCD about things, like his closet is all color coordinated. Was he in the military? He was, but he's not not like that. Like that's not where it comes from. So he's just very particular.

SPEAKER_01 49:36

Yep. Sneaker podcast people, sneaker podcasts. Um yeah, so yeah, that's that's wild. Nowadays it's it's it's a it's a tough deal trying to try trying to get that you know that little thing off when you could when you could, you know. Um now kids. It was more meaningful back then, probably.

SPEAKER_02 50:02

You had to use your imagination. You kidding me? You you only get a glimpse through the scramble.

SPEAKER_01 50:07

Yeah, so there was a one time stream into that. Yo, one time, bro, that shit like they they fuck up sometimes, and the chip will let the whole thing come through. Like that happened rarely, happened like maybe once or twice in my lifetime. I said I recorded the whole thing on my video. I had a VCR in my room. I got my parents got me assistance. I know, right? We have VCRs, cordless phones in our rooms. I had the good cordless phone. What was it, the the 100 gigahertz, whatever it was? I used to work at 2023. Yeah, 2.4 gigahertz, and you can walk, you can walk like like uh 100 feet away from the unit and it would work or something. I used to be like yo, I used to like bragging my friend, like, yo, come look, look, look, I do with the phone. I'ma call I'm gonna call your house. I'm like I walk outside a little bit down the street. Yo, you hear me? Yeah. Now you got a cell phone. Oh my god, man. The answering machines. Remember digital when digital answering machines first came out without the tapes and stuff? You were like caller ID? Caller ID. Oh, if you had caller ID, box star 69?

SPEAKER_02 51:13

Yeah, star 67.

SPEAKER_01 51:15

You could block your number. Come on, man. Wait, star 69 was what? Find out who called you?

SPEAKER_02 51:20

Yeah, it would call back the last number that called you, and star 67 would block your number, make it private or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 51:26

Yeah, these kids don't know, man. All they care about they got sneakers app now and shit. We used to have to stand in line. Let's stay on topic, stay on topic. We had to stand in the number.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

You never stood in line for sneakers.

SPEAKER_01 51:37

No, I don't do that shit. That's stupid. I didn't but yeah, of course. That shit was fun. I mean, I guess so if you had the homies with you, but I don't really. Did you have homies? You just went by yourself.

SPEAKER_02 51:48

A lot of times I went by myself, but I met homies there. Like we the more you went, you just got to know people because they were the true diehards that were always in line. So we we kind of clicked it from yeah, created a click back then for that.

SPEAKER_01 52:03

I wish I went out to more sneaker releases. I mean, they they released some sneakers here in Ohio, but I mean, you know, I get the regular ones. I could just walk in like finish line or something like that and go grab a pair. But I just don't like to communicate, talk to people and shit.

SPEAKER_02 52:15

Like the community, it's not the same anymore. I feel like a you know, get off my lawn kind of moment, but it's going to buy sneakers now doesn't feel the same in person as it did back then. I don't know, that just feels just transactional anymore. All right, got them, great.

SPEAKER_01 52:31

Yeah, there's no I mean, besides the little group chats that we have, you know, saying you got them or whatever, it's just not, it's not as the same, you know, and plus like it's so so many, like I have so many shoes. How many times am I gonna say I got them? This is my fat seventh pair of neon 95s or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 52:52

So it's just not and releases weren't back to back to back to back. I mean, you had to wait, like you were reading up on the next shoes that were coming out. You were opening a magazine, yeah. Like, all right, yo, I can't wait for this shoe to drop. I'm gonna plan my whole day on it. I'm gonna camp out or you know, get their first thing. So it's just not the same.

SPEAKER_01 53:17

It's not the same. So I don't care. Kari's not here, so I guess he's not coming. So the I'll just talk about Jeff Staples now, might as well. Here we go. He had said something about the bike air shoe, right? I don't know if you watch did you watch the podcast? He had the guy who was on the podcast.

SPEAKER_02 53:43

I watched bits and pieces, but yeah, you can you can fill me back in.

SPEAKER_01 53:46

All right, so this is I mean, I'm I'm I'm I'm paraphrasing from an episode of the sneak this podcast. Shout out to Greg for bringing this up. I guess he's a fan of Jeff Staples too, because he kind of was like bigging up his shoes. He's like, he's made some dope shoes. I guess I was like, yo, you must not be paying attention to your eyes or something. I don't know what the fuck's wrong with you. But you know, uh, he's talking about Jeff Staples and his um his shoes and stuff. And he was talking about his comments on the bike air, uh brick-by-brick bring the um sneaker of the year last year, right? And the guy goes, Jeff Staples had said, and I'm I'm paraphrasing here, you know, uh slapping a new colorway uh essentially on a shoe doesn't justify it being like sneaker of the year, you know, like taking a colorway and putting on an old silhouette, right? Now I get what you're saying, right? Or or a great sneaker, whatever, right? I think uh maybe he was referencing it being in the sense of like it has to be like a new sneaker, maybe, right? Is that what you think he's trying to say? Like it should be a new sneaker.

SPEAKER_02 54:54

I I just think he's it's weird. He's taken this kind of angle. I just feel like he's rage baiting everybody. Just feel like he's you think so? Yeah, yeah, because literally it keeps him relevant in the rotation on I don't know if it keeps him relevant. It does keep him relevant talking about him. Yeah, he does it.

SPEAKER_01 55:16

I've never thought about this person in my life until he started saying stupid shit out of his mouth. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:23

I mean, I you know where I stand. I mean, I I rock a lot of staples stuff, but uh it doesn't mean I I I care for his uh point of view of things.

SPEAKER_01 55:34

Well, the POV is stupid because every time I go on Instagram and I see here the only thing he fucking talks about is how great his shoe is, the pigeon dunk that he put out 50 years ago. That Jeff, remember this. You took a silhouette, put your pigeon on it, and uh it's a great shoe, probably one of the greatest of all time. I'm never gonna disagree with that. It was a moment, it was a moment. At the end of the day, that's what it is about the storytelling behind these things. The bike air was a great story, and it just happened to fit on a shoe, then they changed up enough things on that shoe to make it unique. That's why the bike air on the back, fucking crazy. The material's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 56:18

I never understood why other designers would trash other designers. Like, I just don't understand that mentality. I just think it's stupid. Like, why why trash someone else's design? It's just kind of seems counterproductive. Well, I mean, he's talking he's bringing up a point that it wasn't kind of relevant where it wasn't all that special. And there's no so I love the pigeon dunks. I mean, I wish I I have one pair, but not the coveted pair. But um I I don't literally it it's just color blocking. There's nothing, there's no and you just put a pigeon on it. So I don't know. I I think Nigel's story is interesting, it's fresh, it's new, it's you know, exposing people to the BMX world, which unless you're in it, you there's not a lot of hype around it. I mean, how many kids you see riding BMX bikes?

SPEAKER_01 57:13

Not a lot.

SPEAKER_02 57:14

So, I mean, our generation hell. BMX was huge. BMX is skateboarding. I mean, like, that's I mean that was the shit.

SPEAKER_01 57:21

So I was gonna save this for the um the next pod, but one of my favorite movies of all times is Rad. I don't know if you remember. Get out of here for real? That's one of my favorite movies of all time. That's crazy. You focus on that, you know what I'm talking about, right?

SPEAKER_02 57:35

Yeah, I love that movie. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:37

Great movie.

SPEAKER_02 57:38

It's a great movie.

SPEAKER_01 57:39

The part where they were at the at the prom or whatever, and they got on their bikes and started doing tricks on the bikes, him and the girl. Oh my god, classic. I wanted to be that man so bad. It's like, yo, they're bringing it up. Yo, that yo, oh, that's fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_02 57:55

Yeah, but that I mean, that is such a uh cult classic movie.

SPEAKER_01 58:00

I mean, dude, I didn't honestly was it was it like mainstream that movie? I don't even know. It did hit yeah, it was a pretty big deal. So at the end of the movie, the the movie was about dirt bikes too, right? Because it was they were racing dirt bikes. I think at the end. Were they? I don't remember. Unless it's a different movie. I'm thinking about let me see Rad.

unknown 58:24

Rat.

SPEAKER_01 58:26

Rad movie. Oh god, here. 1986. Yeah, it was a dirt, it was about dirt bikes, but they Oh no, it wasn't dirt bikes. They were they they was they they were on a course with the BMX bikes. Okay, yeah, so it wasn't dirt bikes. Okay. I'm gonna play the trailer for us here.

SPEAKER_02 58:41

Did you like Gleaming the Cube too? Gleaming the Cube was a skater movie. Christian Slater and Tony Hawk had like uh I think he was the pizza guy. Had like a guest appearance. Yes. I think it came out in 89.

SPEAKER_01 59:01

Kids was 94 or 95.

SPEAKER_02 59:03

Yeah, it definitely wasn't kids. It's a different type of movie. We're not looking to do the uh you know, Epstein files.

SPEAKER_01 59:11

They were all adults in that movie, everybody.

SPEAKER_02 59:14

Young adults, though. Questionable.

SPEAKER_01 59:17

No, Rosario Dawson was in that, but she didn't have a sex scene. Um the older people who did have sex scenes are adults. I know that because I looked it up because I went to watch it again. I wanted to make sure I wasn't watching like You're on a list now, I hate to tell you. This is the trailer. I can't see your screen from here anymore. Yo, I'm supposed to have no ads on my shit. Cat. His name is Crew.

SPEAKER_03 59:50

BMX is his world. Red is his way of life. Red world would be a lot better.

SPEAKER_02 59:59

This movie brings back such memories.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:03

This is a very important race.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

Ltrak is shit.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:13

Yo, let me tell you something. Why why does why does every high school movie villain look like this? Right? They all got the like long, the mullet kind of cut, blood. The girls had big hair. I'm just talking about back then in that era, like these are the guys that they hated. I always thought these guys got all the pussy. These guys got all the pussy, but they they hated it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:37

Yeah, because they were mainstream, because they weren't, you know, they were like the mainstream popular kids, sports and shit like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:44

So, yeah, but like dude could have had his hair like that if he grew it out and shit and just stopped acting like a nerd running his bike around and stuff. Remember karate kid? All of them, like all that shit. Yo, you forgot.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:54

I mean, did you like Thrashin?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:57

Oh, I don't remember that movie. I know I know it's I know the movie, but I don't remember what it's about. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:03

BMX Bandits Streets on Fire.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:06

Bro, all I knew was this movie. This is the only one. I think this is the most mainstream out of all of them. Yeah, take you to school and then movies. This is 86. So I was seven.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:19

I was older.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:21

Yeah, but this crazy was this one of the first though? Because my I remember I got my first BMX bike and it was a GT performer, like one of the ones in here, but I had the mag wheels, not the spiked. I I I like the pros use the spike wheels, right? The mag wheels are more of like a I had a mongoose, man. That shit was my sister had a mongoose.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:42

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:43

They were heavier though. The uh GT GTs were small was were lighter.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:48

I I didn't really BMX ride, like I wasn't taking jumps and shit, like not at least.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:54

Yes, uh mag wheels. Well, not a mags, what do they call them? I forget.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:57

Pegs, pegs. Oh, yeah, it had pegs on it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:00

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:01

Of course. You gotta ride your homie on the back.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:03

Yeah, it was so cool back then.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:07

I think I've got a chance.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:08

I don't want to hear any more of that. It's Adrian. The paper boy thinks he's a pro.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:14

He's nothing next to Bart Taylor. There's something about the way.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:20

Yo, what's her name? Is that Tiffany Amber Thiessen or something? No, no, no. The um the the um vents. Looks like the loco yogel's gonna race after.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:31

It's gonna take a miracle to beat this guy. Against impossible odds.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:47

I don't know why I said Tiffany Amberthy's stupid.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:51

Somebody has a crush. Rad.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:54

Uh, such a good movie. It's pure nostalgia right there.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:01

That was the shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:03

I'm surprised. I I wouldn't have I wouldn't have picked you to be a uh a rad fan, but I like it.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:11

I love that. That was the thing back then. But it's it's weird because I didn't see that movie until I was probably eight or nine. Because if it came out in eighty six, I was still living in Queens. So I didn't see it until I moved out to Long Island. We moved out to Long Island in 88, so I saw it maybe a couple years after it came out. Because we could be at Blockbuster, you know, you go to Blockbuster, yeah, I guess and then you pick you pick up the movie. So we we I rented it, I I don't know. Maybe I saw it on cable too, I don't even know, but it that movie like hit hard. Because I used to be really into I used to get the magazines and all that shit. So shout out to those days, man. That's that's good stuff, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:52

They were. That was good stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:54

And then you get this time. What what what what type of sneakers? Let's remember this is a sneaker podcast. What type of sneakers do you wear with a BMX bike besides bike airs?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:05

Yeah, and they didn't have bike airs back then.

unknown 1:04:07

Yeah, they did not, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:09

What kind of sneakers was I wearing back then in the 80s?

unknown 1:04:12

Damn.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:13

I had some LA Gears, Vand. I used to wear vans.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:17

I definitely was wearing Vans, but I'm trying to remember. I think I it's weird. I'm trying to remember. My brain is so broken.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:27

I never wore Nikes until like I want to say high school. I didn't own a pair of Nikes until high school. Because I wasn't like a sneaker guy. I just wore like things I thought were cool or whatever my mom got me.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:41

Well, I mean, I was Reebok took off back then too. So that and Adidas.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:48

Can you believe all the way up until what maybe the mid-90s, Reebok was like the number one athletic shoe?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:55

Yeah, that's the shoe that got me into sneakers. I mean, Reebok pumps were my first sneaker. Like legit that I coveted.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:04

Yeah. The Jordan, I think Jordan 4 or 5. Like around that era is when Nike started really taking off. Because that's when they started putting out the Charles Barclays and all that stuff, and then um Bo Bo Jackson became a thing. Remember all that? Bo Jackson. Deion Sanders had his shoes. So those shoes started taking off. Yeah. Interesting history around all of that, like with Nike and everybody.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:35

But the marketing was so good back then. Remember the Bo Jackson commercials? I mean, just awesome. Bo nos. I mean, great ad campaigns. They really kind of tapped into the market differently. So Nike really thrusted themselves in the front.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:50

Thrusted it.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:52

Pause. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:54

I want to be like Mike fucking bono's. Yeah, man. I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look up something. uh mongoose bicycles let me see what a mongoose mongoose what was the other diamondback that was another brand wasn't diamondback was i think they were offshoot of um the uh gts i think i don't know mongoose bike i just put it in here yo mongoose see look at this bullshit man they don't even look like they used to man look at this shit man these don't look cool no more man look at this they're all fancy that look cool yeah it still looks cool it's just fancy ah that's like a bmx bike it's just more way more they're more aerodynamic the wheels are bigger um and the seats sit lower which is interesting because I remember having a higher seat meant something because you do the tricks better I don't right uh so you don't want to hit like when you're landing a jump you don't want that seat going up your ass so kind of I'm talking about when you're doing like tricks on the ground I'm not gonna see they usually have the seat up a bit more maybe well I don't know I never I I always had it like uh at whatever see like I used to well because you had to ride these you weren't just doing tricks on them we rode them everywhere remember when when you had the like the Huffy bikes had the little sleeves like that and then it was not cool like nah it's got to be printed on the metal or else you're a fucking loser like I just have a huffy bike that like that that why would they put pads they still have the pads it's crazy I guess so you don't use ProSty destroyer nuts I don't know and then there's like the head protection you know that mug is oh shit oh that's the this is the type my sister had yeah that shit was fire come on look at that poked wheels oh man yeah oh look at that shit man I wish I had my GT performer yeah but diamond diamondbacks I think to be honest with you I think diamondbacks are a little more expensive than GTs right I think so diamondbacks were expensive I they it all of that back then when it got popular just kind of like you were either getting a Huffy or some other bobo brand like yeah yeah uh like uh you get those at uh like Walmart whatever or Kmart or something diamond back they all look the same now oh here's a diamond back oh yeah see I told you that the the seat yeah seats are higher see this is the same same say this is the style I had this a G my GT performer look just like this seats was like that everything that shit is but you can raise and lower the seat I mean I know that's that's not sweet though look at that I think you should pause relive the memory put it I don't want a diamond bag no ride that shit look at the look at the pegs on the back pause look at that shit yeah I will pay to see you ride that I'll buy you it if I got a bike videotape you riding it I got a bikes bike nah I got a um a giant bike with a it's a very ergonomic has hydraulic seats and stuff bro yo it should cost like a thousand dollars bro no shit it's a it's a hybrid I could ride it off road and off road yeah how often do you ride that thing I haven't ridden it since yeah I've taken it out since we moved here um yeah I fixed my wife's bike we should we should go bike riding we got good trails around here but yeah that's fire look at that yo fuck I'm gonna get out on my one wheel this week that's crazy my man said one wheel it's unicycle man here that's right you got you got a clown same thing it's not unicycle you don't sit on it pause it's same thing same same thing and I want that like I'm gonna go on I'm gonna go on Amazon and look for like GT performers in 1987 eBay what do you mean Amazon go on eBay you probably get on Amazon you never know I don't think so I don't think so probably charge it well I don't know Bezos probably fake it yeah streak BMX bike man BMX bikes man what what a time to be alive sneaker podcast so uh we got the bike airs so yeah Jeff Stapleton um said all this nonsense on the shows and again I I I may have my opinions on this gentleman but he just is just like it's like he's reaching so hard for relevancy and just being a little too sassy and it's just not that's what I thought sassy that's that's what I was saying sassy sassy yes he's being sassy it is it is it's just to me it's just not necessarily a bad look or anything but everybody you know you're doing all these interviews and stuff it and um and the dude from black eyed peas who did the interview he was really sucking them off I'm like come on bro I'm surprised he didn't nut in your mouth yet where you acting like this guy's a celebrity or some shit like I I don't even know how that works.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:00

Alpine tape changer, Boston Acoustic Separates. Yo, I was living.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:05

Okay, the tape changer was that I keep for it didn't slide new tapes. It was uh it was a bunch of cassette tapes in one thing. I can't it was uh how that works.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:14

So it was a carousel, not a carousel, but it had like a carrier. You put six tapes in it, and then you would put it in it. So remember a Core. Yeah, so it was the same just with tapes, but it had auto-reverse. You it took forever to load the tape, like it wasn't very efficient, but man, I felt like oh, you was demand if you had a CD changer.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:34

Uh my Audi A, my A6 Audi, I had a C8 CD changer in the back. Like this is not when like I had to change the discs in the back of the car. Because it sat in a trunk. Yeah, it was a nine 1998 Audi A6, and it was a sport edition, so it didn't have leather seats, it had these um, I don't know what the fabric it was a fabric seat, but it was a sporty car. I think I told you about it. That's the one I like blew out the engine because I never changed the oil or whatever, and I kept dumping oil in it when I didn't need to.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:03

You know, Audi's eat oil, man. That's uh it hasn't changed.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:07

Well, I just kept pouring oil in for no good reason. I hadn't, I never I didn't know how to change, I know how to look at the dipstick or any of that shit. That's why electric cars are made for me in this day and age.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:16

So changing the oil in my car this weekend.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:19

SPEAKER_02 1:30:15

Oh yeah, we had fun today. Yeah, my 84 Toyota Supra.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:21

That was your first car?

SPEAKER_02 1:30:22

That was. Bought it off a drug dealer, Cokehead.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:28

That was a 95 Nissan Ultima.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:32

I could see that. That fits you.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:34

I bought it from my roommate, and and and it had a bad alternator. I sold he sold it for me for$2,500. I gave him the money. It had it had like$100,000, a little over$100,000. It was actually a good purchase, but he didn't tell me the alternator was shot. So I started driving it and it dies and it was stuck at the shop. And the thing is, I go in and they they towed it to the shop, and um, I'm poor, I'm a poor college kid, right? And my sister paid for the car, she bought it for me. So I'm in there and they're like, yeah, we could get a used alternator from the junkyard for like$200 or whatever. So they held it for like a week, and I had to I had to borrow from my old roommate, um, my other roommate. He gave me the money and then I paid him back. But uh nah, that was uh um interesting time.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:22

That car was liable as fuck. We'll have to get into all the goodies. We'll we'll have to save it because don't wanna don't want to tease it out too much.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:31

I mean, it doesn't matter. We can tell the same story 20 times, it's gonna be catering to a whole different audience. That's true. I'm looking forward to it. I like these conversations. I'm having fun with it.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:41

I'll I'll come with like I said, I've been building a bunch of topics. So I got a whole list of list of things to chat about.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:48

I appreciate it. I think this is a good lane for us as a as a since since we do like to chitter chatter about random shit. I think talking about random shit like this is gonna be a good thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:00

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:01

I envision I envision millions of trillions of people flocking in to watch us talk about random shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:08

Got it. Raised on rewind.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:11

Raised on rewind. Wait, let me write that down because I already forgot it. I have a bad memory, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:16

Yeah, trust me. You you ain't worse than me. Devil's lettuce got a hold of me all the time.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:22

No, I didn't even that for me. I just don't I just push push information I don't necessarily care about out of my head. But I remember like random numbers and whatnot and shit that you know got uh raised on We Wand. And then we got uh raised by her. Something like that, yeah. Close enough.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:48

SPEAKER_01 1:32:51
