00:01:40
Speaker
For sure. the But the Colt track? You like that? The Colt snaps every time. Colt don't miss. is a bob almost all of the time. yeah you know It was a little different. It was like that Jamaican type sound, but like, I feel like Boss has been taking a lot of vacations like out in the area so I can see how he's influenced.

Yeezys Restock Rumors
00:02:18
Speaker
Alright, let's get right into the the clown talk. Foot Locker has reported to be getting Yeezys coming up. And there's there's some other companies out here that are like starting to sell Yeezys again too. But the the big deal with Foot Locker is that they were just one of the more outspoken companies as far as like, we will not be carrying any more Yeezys going forward.
00:02:43
Speaker
And they have yet to come out with a statement saying anything about to counter that, an apology, even a retracting statement. Yeah, it's just, and it's like like we said,
00:02:57
Speaker
in previous episodes with the clown face and it's like, literally all they posted, like the thing that we've seen was like the Foot Locker logo, like with the guy and everything like that. It's like Foot Locker and then it's like a dash in between and it says the Yeezy logo. The crazy part about
Yeezy Slides Hype
00:03:13
Speaker
that, that's not even the logo anymore. They they you got rid of that a couple years ago, but that's besides the point. But they have that and then it was, and then like literally you go to the next slide it's like all the release dates and all the shoes and everything like that, which I think all the shoes that they're getting are ones that have already came out or like that they did on the adidas confirmed app or whatever i could be wrong it might be new colorways but it just seemed like all the ones that i could see name wise colorways that we have in the store right now i was like okay they're bringing more of those out more of these out but then like i said it could be a different name spelled differently i mean we know how easy is ah they have
00:03:52
Speaker
linens and sands and this that and third and it looks that yeah it looks the exact same just a little bit different so um i'm gonna go and call this early i saw a photo of a new yeezy slide it's gray don't know if that's already come out excuse me if i'm incorrect but to my knowledge it's new um it's called ashen slate it's not on the full locker release but i just saw it on twitter today but um people are gonna go crazy for the you know the gray everybody the blacks go crazy the blues Uh...
00:04:24
Speaker
All the bright colorways are a little bit, blue is probably the most popular bright colorway I would say, but blacks and the tans and the neutral colors are, they always sell really good. So
Brotherhood Sneakers Sale
00:04:35
Speaker
the gray. Yeah, the gray is going be crazy. Yeah, the gray will be through the roof. I claim to be a hater of these easy slides, but I own a few, so I probably want this gray one to be. Yeah, for sure. At the right price. I will not pay over retail. At the right price. want the gray one. So hopefully, you know, good old Patrick down at 1071 can be able to pair it like he did the last one. Hey, Patrick. Yeah. My guy for sure shadow like I'm bathing us with the locker
00:05:01
Speaker
No, just clown face all yeah all around. You're getting it But they're not the, like you told me, they're not the only company that's getting it. So there's a lot of other companies that could be clown face as well. I saw Finish Line is going to be carrying them again, but I just don't know like what their stance
New Sneaker Releases Discussion
00:05:17
Speaker
was beginning. I know they stopped selling it, but I don't know if they were as like outspoken i spoken about it. you know So I'll hold my tongue until I do further investigation. Right.
00:05:27
Speaker
So today is what's today today's 19th so we got ah an early review for you guys On the sneakers a shot drop so these come out this Saturday So first off to
00:05:46
Speaker
me um so first off to me um I like this shoe. I'm a big fan of like special boxes.
00:05:58
Speaker
Anything that's not going to be just a standard black and red box. I mean it's cool to collect those. I like seeing that I have a few, but I really enjoy the color. Yeah. Like, you know, I really
Sneaker Hype vs. Post-Release Interest
00:06:10
Speaker
wish the pine green box would have been all green instead of the black and green. I'm not mad at it. Right. But it just would have been cool to have, you know, to go with that and this one.
00:06:21
Speaker
The stealth ones came in a gray box. That was cool to see. i almost want to buy those just for the box. The Skyline with the with the cool box. Yeah, the Skylines have a crazy box on it. If those go down far enough, I'm definitely going to grab a pair for the right price.
00:06:33
Speaker
so um These got some pretty good leather on it. um Yeah, honestly, i don't I don't have the other UNCs, so I don't have any of the other UNCs, so I think I will try to grab these. right They should be pretty easy to get, um fairly high stock count to my knowledge.
00:06:54
Speaker
Yeah, I know they're, and especially when they did like the shock drop, like it seemed like a lot of people was able to attain these. Um, I have the University blue ones with the black check that came out. Was that 2020 2019 something like that?
00:07:11
Speaker
um I have those so I'm cool on these but just don't understand why this color blocking like has hype to it and then it yeah well yeah that and then it's like then it doesn't live up to the hype price wise. think they're going to sit?
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, well, I don't think they're going to sit, but I feel like they're not going to be like, yeah, not sit, but they're not going to be a ah sneaker of freezing. No, like they're not going to be, you know yeah, like, like this was supposed to be the best quality since the shatter backboard. Yeah. And too easy to get. Yeah. And like you can easily attain this shoe now, which is like, it's cool. Like if you like it,
UNC Colorway Variations
00:07:52
Speaker
that's fine. And it's been growing on me as well.
00:07:54
Speaker
But it's like, leather-wise, it's like nothing's ever gonna compare to the Shattered Backboard. And then this came out and there everybody was like, oh, it's gonna be the next Shattered Backboard. And then it's sitting at $200.
00:08:07
Speaker
So it's it's a hype thing and I don't understand it. Like you said, this, this, uh, it gets a lot hype beforehand, but what happens to it afterwards? Uh, I don't know. People just continue to show that if social media has a bad impression of something, even if it's after the release, they're going to follow it Right. Which I think, which where we're located in the Carolinas, like any Carolina colorway shoe is going to do great no matter what. So I feel like this is going to day one sellout easy because everybody loves this Carolina blue.
00:08:36
Speaker
But I just like, if this shoe would came out in 2019, this would have been a $700 shoe. Absolutely. Easy. Because the Pine Cream 1.0s are $400, $500, $600. The Core Purple 1.0s, they're the same color blocking, $600.
00:08:53
Speaker
six hundred dollars Like the ones that like started this color blocking other than like the Chicago one. But like anything with this color blocking, pre-COVID, yeah, it would have been like a $700 shoe. So what I don't understand is why it's, they all, the UNC always ends up being a different color. It says University Blue, but like, yours are University Blue, and it's way lighter than this. I mean, it's sweet. It's different than even your UNC 3. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Like, I truly don't understand
Repetitive UNC Colorways Fatigue
00:09:24
Speaker
that. Just because like, as a UNC, I'm not a UNC fan, a Duke fan, but as a UNC fan, you would think that you would want to have a shoe
00:09:32
Speaker
or every time you buy a shoe of the same collection you would you know it would go on all my umc stuff but now i gotta worry about the shades of all the shoes and that would be frustrating to me it's not frustrating to me because i don't own that much carolina stuff in the first place this was on clearance that's that's why i don't know you know that would be frustrating to me if i was like a true do they come with different laces or just the black um i don't know jack i didn't see any
00:09:59
Speaker
The blue laces. Blue laces would be tough. I'd really like to match that um Nike Air on the top. Yeah. But, yeah, just... don't
Upcoming Sneaker Releases
00:10:10
Speaker
know. I just... That I'm a UNC fan, but I feel like when they're just... I feel like they're in a drought or something like that. Their safest way out is like, oh, we're gonna make a UNC colorway. We're gonna make a UNC 5. We're gonna make a UNC 3. We're gonna make a UNC... And it's like, that's cool, but it's like, damn. Like...
00:10:29
Speaker
I'm tired of UNC colorway stuff at this point. So you rate this out a 10?
00:10:44
Speaker
Maybe an 8? But it's still a no-go? No, it's... 8 but a pass? Yeah, and we have my size at the at the shop right now. and um Don't feel any sort of way of buying them.
00:10:57
Speaker
So I'm good on them They're a clean colorway. It's a clean shoe. It's a Jordan 1. So it'll be first day sellout for sure, but I don't need it. I'll go 8 as well, but I do want to get this shoe this weekend. For sure.
00:11:13
Speaker
You should be able to. Yeah, I don't think I have any issues. This is not my size, by the way. um So guess what went on sale today in my store?
00:11:24
Speaker
What's that? the Damn brotherhoods. After two years. Wow. You can get them on discount? Yeah. Hey, Hold up! Hold up! Since the new rules were made. Alert, alert! Guess how much they are. Let's see, what were they? 180 or 170? They were 180. They might have been 170, which is going to make this even worse. 169.95? Nah, 159.95. Ah!
00:11:46
Speaker
to even worse one sixty nine ninety five one fifty nine ninety ah bro what two years twenty dollars ten dollars a year they depreciate ten dollars year and they still want stuff yeah nah i mean i only have a 15 and up but you know hit me up if you need it but um thanks it's that's just crazy like that's you know it took them two years so to mark it down to it out did you did you buy the brotherhoods or no i do have the brotherhoods um i really like them i did too i well you know where i stand on that shoe i haven't worn yet but i really do like them i wear that shoe quite um i wouldn't say quite a bit but like
00:12:22
Speaker
I finally found some things that I could wear with it, so I'm like, okay. And my big thing was people always complain about Jordans being black, red, and white. I wish they would come out with something with black, red, and white.
00:12:35
Speaker
Nothing black, red, and white. And then they come out with different stuff like a Brotherhood or, they don't buy you know, other, you know. Fusion reds didn't do well either. Yeah, like, same concept you know, like, you're complaining about shoes not being black, red, and white.
00:12:51
Speaker
And then you get the shoe and then you complain, well, I'm returning because I can't find none to match with it. Okay, brother. Like, it's okay, buddy. Like, whatever you say.
00:13:03
Speaker
But then, like I said, then a shoe comes out and it's red, black, and white. and it's like, damn, I wish I had, I'm buying this shoe, but I have every other red, black, and white Jordan that's ever came out.
00:13:13
Speaker
So it's like. Alright, Whatever you say. Yeah, whatever whatever lets you sleep in. yeah People just be saying stuff at this point. You
Halloween Sneaker Designs
00:13:22
Speaker
know you know how it goes. um Before we get into the rest shoe releases, I want to about the one that came out last week, which is the Chambray, the sevens.
00:13:30
Speaker
I really hope these get treated like the Cardinals, because if they do, I will definitely pick these up at 130, 110, whatever. you know They end up at Nike. Because people just, like, slept on them so hard. That and the, you think that people slept on the coloners Cardinals more than the Citruses? Uh, it's about the same.
00:13:50
Speaker
Um, actually, no, maybe they just made more Cardinals, but the Cardinals, like, sat longer, and I saw them go lower on, like, Nike and stuff that. Okay, okay. Because I didn't get the Cardinals, but I like the Citruses, so I have those at the crib.
00:14:03
Speaker
Um, But yeah, same thing, just an older shoe that i always wanted when I was younger. Yeah, and it doesn't make sense. like people like The Shambray came out in 2006, and people really like beg for this to come back. Like, oh, bring back the the Jordans from this era.
00:14:18
Speaker
And then they bring them back. And they're going to keep bringing them back. And they don't sell out. And you know, what incentive does Jordan Brand have to keep making these shoes for y'all if every time you ask for something, you don't buy it?
00:14:31
Speaker
For sure. i don't understand. Preach. I don't understand. We'll talk about some upcoming shoe releases. these are a lot of these are like months out, but um your favorite?
00:14:44
Speaker
Red Cement Force. They got pushed up, I think, so they're a little bit sooner. Garbage. No, they can keep those. Garbage. Jordan Brand, you can keep those. I'm good. Once again, why are we taking a Midnight Navy and putting black and red on it?
00:15:02
Speaker
But then we're also so close to just our regular white cement. Literally. Why are we doing this? Like, I don't know, bro. Like, why? And it's, like, to me, it's just an ugly shoe.
00:15:15
Speaker
And I love fours. But, damn. Like, this shit is trash. Like, what are y'all doing? Come on, bro. Yeah. Uh.
00:15:25
Speaker
I have no words for this shoe because I've already talked about the white Oreo and I talked about the Midnight Navy and I've talked about the Mesa Black and I talked about all of these close retros and I'm just, I'm good on it. You know, just just keep them.
00:15:37
Speaker
I talked the Red Thunders. You can keep these. If you want to know where we stand at with Jordan Forrest, please go back to the tier video. Run it back. The tier video will tell you everything you need to know about us and where we stand at with Jordan Forrest. Yeah, I'm good on all that. They can keep those. Now this next one though, the Powerpuff Girl Dunks that supposed to come out at the end of the year.
00:15:56
Speaker
Need all three. with the With the characters on the back, too? The eyes on the back. is Oh, not the characters. The eyes. Yeah, eyes. It's crazy. yeah I need all three. So somebody out there, plug me up. Right. I need all three of them. For sure. No, this it I'm glad they're doing stuff like that. Like, you know, i feel like we're just, like we had talked about last episode, I feel like they're just pumping out regular dunks.
00:16:20
Speaker
don't don't don't and it's like when you actually do an SB and it's got a cool concept like the herito like the powerpuff girls like i don't know if they're gonna be SB's but they might be okay i didn't I didn't like I don't remember like because it only shows the back yeah and I don't remember oh i thought I I thought I'd seen like it might say that I thought I seen like the fat tone i didn't make that close in the picture but a make it up top but if it's asb Great. Yeah, even better. you know yeah so um that like Speaking of what we said last week, that shows that, I mean, I guess Dunks aren't going away completely, not at least, especially because they got your your joints coming out.
00:17:01
Speaker
I know I just bashed Dunks. I really did. I really just bashed them, but I'm pulling the Uno reverse card real quick because the Miami Dolphin Dunks, they're coming out. Need them. They're playing B.
00:17:14
Speaker
They're definitely plan B. That's exactly what I was about to say. But YouTube, he's not going to get them. He's going to get the lobsters, and he's going to put the teal laces in them, and he's going to forget about these Miami Dolphins dogs. Now, me, I may get them because, you know, I like them, and I would like to have them to go with a jersey, even though it looks like the color's a little bit off. I think so. But I would still... This is a color combo that I would like to have them. If they're there, if they're it if ah If y'all get them, you know, I'll... You too. Nine or a nine and a half. He's not going to get them. You know, I'll definitely take them.
00:17:50
Speaker
He says all this now. Fast forward 10 episodes, he's not going to get them. He's not going to want them. Okay. No, 20 episodes. It's coming out in 2024. Yeah, I think it's 2024. Fast forward 25 episodes, he's not going to want them.
00:18:05
Speaker
Who knows? Save the date. these and The next dunks, you see the Frederick Kruger look-alike. no
eBay's ProStar Program Explained
00:18:13
Speaker
I don't think so. Yeah, so it's not an SB this time.
00:18:16
Speaker
And it's not nearly as creative as like, you know, the old one. Of course. Of course not. Let's take a look. yeah Why would they be? They can't give us anything we want. What are you talking about?
00:18:28
Speaker
Silly, silly guy. You said Freddy Krueger Dunks and they popped up their original ones. Yeah, come on, bro. Wait, are these the ones that... I feel like they look like a Christmas sweater almost.
00:18:41
Speaker
Oh, yeah. What the... Yeah. um yeah they' So, I mean, it's not an official collab or anything like that, but obviously this what people have been calling them and, and you know, they're just not going to be what they were. You know what saying? Wow.
00:18:57
Speaker
Yeah, they... People are going outraged about this, though. I mean, but they're probably sell out because of what they are. you'll see you'll see You'll see those at Halloween time for sure. yeah you Yeah. You'll see somebody with the with the sweater on, with the ripped jeans, and you'll see the dunks on. Yeah. They i mean' could they can definitely be better. There's no tan on it there's no you know There's no anything. it's not ah If it's actually supposed to be that, it's not doing a ah good good job. Right.
00:19:25
Speaker
You know, it's not going a good Halloween shoe. The Jaws. Have you seen them? Speaking of Halloween shoes. Have you seen them? Yeah. Yes. Oh, my God. They're crazy. Not Jive Haven't liked any of the colorways that have come out so far. All the colorways that have come out been trash. This Halloween one?
00:19:41
Speaker
The glow in the dark? but the glow I didn't even know it glowed in the dark. The hands on it, on the back tab, the yeah, I need it. I
Sneaker Community Stories
00:19:50
Speaker
need it. neith they' they're fire. I'm glad they're going away from this. like like I feel like a lot of Halloween shoes are orange.
00:19:57
Speaker
Orange, purple, black. yeah yeah and you know I really like when shoes tell a story or they have extras or stuff like that. like It's cool to see stuff like that.
00:20:07
Speaker
Which I think is, speaking of bouncing off the Halloween thing, I think that's why um when the mummy SBs came out and it was like a predominantly white shoe but it represented the white um wrapping and then like the bottom glue in the dark and on the back it had the eyes.
00:20:23
Speaker
I think that's why that shoe is so expensive other than all the other Halloween dunks because like you said it's that and it's not black, orange, halloween sure everything.
00:20:34
Speaker
So these are the Dracula trainers.
00:20:41
Speaker
See like that's that's fire with the teeth on and everything. I'm assuming that the the speckles right here are supposed to be blood speckles. um is There's also like a. Okay.
00:20:53
Speaker
Oh yeah with the with the bats and everything and it even has like the face on on the inside too. Yeah these fire like. yeah why And you already know I got them for the load.
00:21:05
Speaker
When the box ain't got no lid on it mind your business. I got them from Dope. Now, whoever got them before me definitely paid less than me. yeah But, you know, ah this is this is a clean concept and I really enjoy like when they do shoes like this.
00:21:20
Speaker
when i do by we The big thing is is just when you put things into detail and just do little subtle things that just make the shoe better, it's like Why don't we do this with with everything else? Like the Freddy Cougar Dunks. Why don't you just put a face on the inside of the shoe? Or a face on the tab or on the back or something like that. It's going to pay out in the in the long run It's going to be more lucrative anyway. Right. like Okay, you do that and you make the shoe ten more dollars.
00:21:47
Speaker
You're gonna make your money back from your production and your your extra time that you have to put in to make the face. Like, you're gonna get your money back from it. I got the Prestos, the Halloween Prestos as well, the ones from last year, but I waited until they went dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. paid like 35 bucks because I'm like, go.
00:22:04
Speaker
Go. y'all need shoes, bro, y'all really hit me up. I'll be looking out. For sure. um So, a dude came in my store on month no Saturday. He was coming to pick up the Chambray 7s.
00:22:19
Speaker
Or one of the shoes. it might now might have been Friday, and he was coming to pick up the Chicago Dunks. So, he pulls out a gift card, and this dude looked mad familiar, and i was like, dude, where'd you get that gift card?
00:22:32
Speaker
And he was like, oh, at a sneaker expo. And I was like, I think I'm the one who gave you that. yeah And he was like, oh, dude, you were the dude with the Famaros. And i was like, yeah, yeah, that was me or whatever. But it was just, it's just crazy that like we commuted, he commuted.
00:22:48
Speaker
We had no idea that he shopped in the in the area that I'm in, that my store is in. And he ended up coming to spend that gift card at my store. So I thought that's that story is so simple circle full circle. Is that the story? Yeah. Full circle moment, I tell you.
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah, that like. He said. That's kind of crazy. He said, wait a minute. you look what are you oh yeah okay he looked mad familiar um it was a it was the he said just didn't even like just gave him one i don't know if you guys remember that um but he was like what if i'm not here or something yeah yeah yeah i think i did yeah think i gave it to him and he was i appreciate it yeah yeah so um yeah We started talking about the Famarios or whatever, and I checked him out or whatever, and I told him to come back. That's the first time I've seen him my store, but and um maybe that's why he entered the raffle, because he knew he had a gift card. Hey, hey But like you know that's that's what it's for, and yeah I thought that story was just so like full circle. That's crazy.

Speaker
What size do you wear? How much money you do you spend annually on shoes? How many pairs do you have in your collection? do you use them for resale? Do you buy for actually wearing them? da And basically, you enter all this information. in they're going to look over your information, whatever they got to do to figure out whether if you're qualified or not, whatever it is.
00:24:57
Speaker
But basically, these expensive sneakers, You go through the eBay app and you get them for retail.
00:25:05
Speaker
So there's screenshots of people posting like on Twitter. SB4's retail. Mambasita Kobe's retail.
00:25:18
Speaker
All these like hype shoes retail prices. So my thing was is like... That's cool and everything. Still authenticity, authenticity guaranteed.
00:25:32
Speaker
Everything like that, like, but it's like,
00:25:36
Speaker
You're not paying for the membership. It's completely free. nope So where is eBay making their money at with? So in the last like year or so, ebay has shown that they have a little bit of love for the sneaker community. And I've seen them do something like this. I just didn't know that they had a program for it now um where they've given out like shoes for retail. right It's not my first time seeing it.
00:25:59
Speaker
And I like concepts like this. I was in a group. for a while it was called Soul Savvy, where i paid for something like this. But you didn't just get an email and a chance to buy it, you had to still enter the raffle. Basically they were saying that if you followed the steps, they would guarantee you a higher chance at getting these shoes in retail. Sometimes they did stuff like this, but you had it was on a first come first serve basis.
00:26:22
Speaker
um But I think it was like $30 a month or or more. So free, I'm all for it. I will enter my stuff after this. Yeah, I and i entered.
00:26:34
Speaker
um Actually, Cam sent me the information and said he signed up for it and then sent me the info. I signed up for it and everything like that. um So we'll see.
00:26:47
Speaker
We'll see how it goes. But they don't have no way of like. They hadn't sent an email or anything like that about like, hey, like you're on the program. You haven't made it to the program. Like there was no email confirmation that I signed up for it or anything like that. So,
00:27:03
Speaker
yeah, we'll see. Like I've been checking my emails, see if they sent me a thing. But basically from the screenshots that I've seen, it's like you're just scrolling through your eBay, like looking at shoes and then it just pops up like mamacitas for $180 or whatever like that. You just...
00:27:20
Speaker
my checkout My question is, where they sourcing the issues from? Like, you know, if if you're just scrolling down, like, where are they getting it? And like you said, how are they making their money? Yeah, like, or is, like, if you have a pair of mamacitas and I'm buying them from you, how are you making your money off of it? Like, art is eBay giving you the full amount and they're just taking the pay off for it, or...
00:27:41
Speaker
What we doing? Or are they getting it from Nike? You know, because, I mean, it's a big company. You know, you never know. Ho, ho. What's up? I'm going enter my, like, information, obviously, after we finish this, because, I mean, this something i'm definitely interested in. But how much annually do you, like, you know, what did you put? What, for shoes-wise? Yeah, like, spent.
00:28:00
Speaker
So I just i just did it as if I was working in retail again. Yeah. And on a good month, you get two or three pairs. at $200 a piece.
00:28:13
Speaker
So, anywhere from, I mean, higher end, $600 a month. Um, so $600 a month, and then just times it by $12.
00:28:24
Speaker
Um, so that's just what I did. That seems like, um,
00:28:35
Speaker
I think it's more than that. Yeah. Um, And then they asked me like how many pairs I had in the collection, so I went into the room and counted everything. You're going to have a hell of a time counting this, buddy, let me tell you. so Unless you know the number off the top of your head. No, I don't. Not since I'm getting... like I'm not going to count the ones that I'm trying to sell, obviously. So this is why I think that if that is a lower number.
00:28:56
Speaker
And this this is just for me. um Two years ago, i was keeping i kept a list like every time I bought a pair shoes. And before the year was over, I i was over 100 in one year.
00:29:08
Speaker
So...
00:29:10
Speaker
And obviously, like, I was buying stuff like that, you know, or whatever. So there was a lot of times where i got shoes for less than $100. But even if I got every shoe for $100, that's still, that's still at the very minimum $10,000. Right. um So I don't know. i don't know where I was getting this money also.
00:29:29
Speaker
I'll say that. It was. um But and stuff like this is also why, like last year, bought both of these at the same time. I know it says return pending, but I have both of them.
00:29:47
Speaker
I'm back and look at the other one.
00:29:53
Speaker
Damn. So like, yeah you have you know what I'm saying? Like that. so i have no idea what number I'm going to put for this. But I hope that gets taken into account when when they're picking people. Because if somebody needs it, I need it. You know, I need it. Yeah. Like.
00:30:09
Speaker
There's a bunch of crazy stuff on here where I just pay like way more than I like you know needed to or whatever. like Yeah. For what? What is wrong with me? right Pat asked me today if I need a financial advisor. said yes. yeah for sure Please.
00:30:28
Speaker
But yeah, this is definitely a program I would like to be in. Especially for the free, too. For the free, because I was already in something like this, and it ended up not being... like you know i' You pay $30 a month, 12 months.
00:30:41
Speaker
I mean, that's two or three pairs shoes at the end of the year, you know? Yeah. So. For sure. Especially, I mean, yeah. Let's talk about how they sneaked in up-tempos under my nose. Oh! Like, didn't give me a chance to get my bread up or nothing. No, and that didn't even have, just came in out of nowhere. I forgot you didn't want them. That's the one I sent them to. hes I was like, oh, I'm about to plug my boy up again, he said.
00:31:05
Speaker
Disliked the message. Yeah. Disliked the link. The whole link. The whole Twitter link got disliked. I mean, i don't know. I mean, y'all go ahead and... I mean, I looked for my size, but I just... Did they have it? No. Oh, okay.
00:31:18
Speaker
I think the biggest they have is like an eight or something like that. Like all the big sizes and then our sizes were gone. So it was like an eight or eight and a half. But yeah, you know how I feel about them. So give me the 2020 ones. When I get them, you're going to feel little different.
00:31:36
Speaker
YouTube, he's gonna take these words back. I got my up-tempo slides that I got now to put my band-aid on for right now. I went to 1476 today and I saw him on the wall and I was like, hmm.
