Of course, no conversation can be had at this point without also addressing Kanye's subsequent announcement that he's running for President. The dudes try to make sense of what came after Ye's declaration, as the sneaker mogul went on to make a number of outlandish quotes and claims in follow-up interviews. Lastly, with the news that multi-brand retailer Need Supply and its sister store Totokaelo will shutter this year, Barrett and Phil talk about the continuing retail nightmare and what brick-and-mortar shopping might look like post-pandemic.
