Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Daughter Issues. We're back. The fires evacuated us,
and we've Yeah, the fires evacuated us, so we we
haven't been We haven't done an episode since October. We
were anticipating that the fires might happen and we got
out of there early, way early. Yeah, No, we've been slacking.

(00:21):
We've both been busy doing other things. I've been on
a comedy tour, getting ready to film my comedy special,
which I am finally doing February twenty second in Glendale, California.
You want to come out. There's still a few tickets left.
And you've been busy like crazy, starting up a new
business that we can't tell people about yet. It's gonna
be dope when you see it. It's gonna be a
lot of fun. So very true question. It both having

(00:43):
a blast. But we're back on We're gonna get back
on schedule. We're gonna get back on doing podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's super important, maybe even more fun podcasts. But you
gotta stay tuned to figure out.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You gotta stay tuned. That's part of the new business.
And we got its secrets.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Most of them already do not know. Yeah, most of
them already do not know. All right, today's gonna be
fun though, super simple. Stores from the nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Stores from the nineties, And.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I think some of them are actually gonna know because
many of them made it into the two thousands before
they went out of business, and a couple of them
might actually still be in business in small respects. Some
of them, I know for sure, you're gonna know. I've
taken you. I've taken you to some of these. But
I'm just going to tell you the store name, and
you tell me. Just describe it, tell me what they
sold and what it was like in there.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Okay, it's be pretty simple in the nineties, yep, okay,
all right.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Ready, okay, we start off really easy.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Radio shack, oh, cords, yeah, and speakers, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Right, microphones, anything with radio would have to sell those.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yep, it's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
They'd have to say, I know, cars are going to
go buy It's well, sometimes they're louder than they need
to be.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Radio shack is a shack with radio stuff, shack.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
With radio stuff. You probably what I use them for
most was adapters. We had one right down the street
when I used to have my old podcast in the
studio in Texas, we had a we had a radio
shack right down the street. Remember Broadway where Broadway was?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Is it black and red?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah? I think yeah. You were really small, but I
would grab you and we would go to like get
a splitter or like an X large a quarter.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Before conferences or something we'd travel, we'd go get like one.
We'd look for a quarter to freaking whatever, half a
dollar and then you need to you need to link
that and be confined anywhere. We'd go to the.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Shack, go to radio shack. I love that place. It
was great, but the idea is, sure, you could go
down the street, but most people didn't live right near one.
So Amazon I think killed them because you could just
order your adapters online and they'd show up the next day.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
They don't have like instruments like Guitar Center, but Guitar
Center is kind of the new radio shack with instruments.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
They do have some of that, but I would say
Amazon probably did most of the killing of radio shack
just because you know, if you're needing a twenty five
foot XLR, why not just order it the day before
and sometimes it's stuff's showing up the same day. Now, yeah,
you order something at ten am, it's there by four pm.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I mean, it's scary a little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's hard to beat that. What. No, we're not We're
not doing that. Excuse me, sor yeah, I don't know why.
I hope it's still recording on your phehone. It wasn't
my phone, it's my laptop anyway, Okay, still staying easy.
I know you know this one Blockbuster.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Movies movies like the Red Box, YEP, just a store,
and it was the vibe was like Goodwill.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And they also had whoa, whoa what I thought.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
The don't they just have like racks of movie stuff.
It's kind of like Goodwill.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, no, no, hold on. When I think good Will,
I think random stuff everywhere, kind of chaos, like like
a garage sale indoors.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
They have organized stuff. They have men's, women's baby.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Sure, but it's chaos. Blockbuster was not chaos, organized, very organized. Yeah,
you would like the whole wall would be one movie.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know, the one movie. One wall would be one movie.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Sometimes I had a new release.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Like just the same thing over and over again.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, because they had like forty copies of one movie,
you would they would sell out. So you would, you'd
have to.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I just can't imagine a whole wall being taken up
of one movie.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
That's a yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I figured they would like have Bulk, like you have
this movie and then you have Bulk, and you have
this movie you had that.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, No, they kept the videos back behind the counter. Video,
the actual tapes, the VHS tapes.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
I thought the movie he was on the rack, the movie.
The cover was on the rest of the audio. No,
what the cover so that you could see what movie
it was was on the rack.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
There's just a bunch of covers yep that you could
buy right, No, with no videos.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You take the cover and you walk up to the counter.
It's empty. You could open the case and there was
nothing inside. You could slide it open, there was nothing
in there. You walk up to the counter, they see
the movie, they grabbed the actual tape and slide it
in and then you pay for it. It stopped. Security
stopped Thievan and that was later. I mean, I think
probably early on the real movies were sitting there.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So why not just keep one cover? Say I want
this one, and they give you the video and you
walk out.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, ideally, that's probably how they would do it today
if there was one, okay, but I think the idea
was to show that they had multiples. Oh and also
because it was a big deal, it was a big
movie release, they wanted to make damn sure everybody saw it,
like Iron Man and it's like thirty of them.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
And back then they didn't have the glass with locks
and like a little button to be help, so they
just they did that as a security measure. Then sure, okay,
that makes sense. Yeah, it sounds weird, but it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Also, there was like there were like some scams where
people would return the movie but have a different movie
in there.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, that's why you gotta check it before you return it.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, you could. You just had to drop off. You
could just slip it into the drop off overnight. People
would come the next morning. Well that's why they're at
a business. Made a lot of bad decisions.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Ooh, take that, mister Buster.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
All right, I'm gonna crank it up a little bit.
KB KB. I'm not gonna tell you the other word,
because the other word is then what they did.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
KB sport Oh close athletic clothes, close, kickball, even closer soccer, KB.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Sports a family company. I don't know sound. I don't know.
It just sounded right.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Not close, you're close.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
It kind of sounds like a supplement.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
When you said, okay, when you said, what do you say? Kickball?
When you said kickball, that was your closest KB. I
know you'all are saying it KB. Everybody knows KB KB.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, it's not sports KB products.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
There are products in there.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Is it one type of product? There's not different variations
of that product.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
There are different variations.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Is it film stop?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Film?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Sports related?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
No? Not necessarily, some thing's in there are sports related.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
KB grocery m.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
And then how was that connected to kickball?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
A lot of grocery stores have soccer balls?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, I want to take one more guests.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Is it like Dick's Sporting Goods? Nope, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Okay, So you had about eleven gases and eight of
them were sports?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
What?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, KB Toys it's toy store. Oh so I said kickball?
You were pretty close. KB Toys was an American chain
of mall based retail stores. The company was founded in
nineteen twenty two, opened wholesale toy stores in nineteen forty six. Unfortunately,

(08:52):
the toy business didn't have much luck in the twenty
first century and they pretty much closed other stores. I
believe there might be some left, but.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
What like towards RS kind of but maybe not as big.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yep, So Toys RS was known as being a standalone.
It had its own massive, you know, huge store to
walk in by itself near the mall. KB was inside
the mall. Yep, a little boutique. Yep. Are you ready?
Goad zooks. That just brought back a lot of memories,

(09:26):
didn't it? Going to the mall? Y'all got it?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
God zukes, they're feeling it.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
They're feeling goad zookes right now.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's a restaurant. It's like.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Very good.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
They have rat tose for appetizers. No god zoos, god zekes,
god zukes, God sucks.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's so funny. I'll tell you this it. They were
kind of known for having a life size h bug
Volkswagen Beetle.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh I thought you meant like an actual bug.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well we called them, you know bug. It looked like
they had like a full size Volkswagen Beetle inside the store.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
They're a company of clowns that that perform at kids
parties and they always show up in a bug and
like six of them come out.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's not a bad guess, considering the information I gave
you the name gad Zooks and the car, You're right,
that's a really good they might have done that instead. No,
it was actually a teen clothing store that was around
from nineteen eighty three to two thousand and five. I
don't know they made it that far. They filed for
bankruptcy and they were purchased by Forever twenty one.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I was gonna say, is I wonder if it's like
zuomis zumis, is like a teen clothing store? Yeahs all right?
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
So so I saw this one, and I know, you know,
I thought they were still around, but apparently they were
this this new what I'm about to tell you. I
thought they were. They've been around forever and they were
still around. But come to think of it, I haven't
seen any And now my old ass is just going,

(11:24):
what that's not a thing anymore. So we're gonna learn
some things in the comments from the viewers, I'm sure,
and the and the listeners of the podcast. I'm not
gonna say the second word because it's it's the title
of what it is, but borders in fact, I think

(11:45):
when we said it, we didn't say the s. We
would say border and then the second word, which is
the products that they sell. But this says borders. Yeah, borders.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm thinking on the border, like the restaurant. But that's
not it obviously because it comes after it.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
And yeah, no, they sell it's retails.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
They sell something borders.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
It doesn't doesn't. The word doesn't have anything to do
with Okay, I mean kind of hold on, kind of
I guess in a weird store. That's not that's not
a bad guess, that's.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Not is it along those lines? Kind of.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Uh, kind of yeah, I mean kind of the opposite
and also kind of the same.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Great information, I know, but you'll see.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
What I mean. Something to pass the time. But different
types of people go to game stores than go to
this kind of store sometimes and sometimes it's the same people.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
People would be mad at me for saying that people.
People are diverse and they can do all kinds of things.
Good job, thanks, Yeah, it's it's a go ahead. One
more guess.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Okay, not a game store. Kind of the same, but
also completely different. So I'm gonna say I think.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's something else somebody would do that doesn't spend most
of their time playing games. They might still play games,
but they would do something reading books like Borders books. Ah,
we always said Border books, but I guess that was
wrong because it says Borders books.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Borders books and Barnes and Nobles have the same op.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yep, ye, Barnes and Noble Borders books. And there was
one other one. But yeah, they were all the rage
in the nineties to two thousands and then just faded
out apparently.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Was it little or was it like Barnes and Noble.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
It's a big, pretty big, pretty big. I don't recall
there being like a three story one like they have
Barnes and Nobles now, But Borders was pretty big. The
ones around me that I remember going in to were
pretty huge.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Think I've ever been inside one.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yep. I didn't even realize it was on this list.
I'm like, did they stop? See I'll tell me in
the comments. Did Borders stop? Because I thought Borders was
totally still a thing. I don't know it does. This
doesn't say if it's out of business or not, so
I'm not sure. Yeah, toys Rs is on here. You
obviously know that one. Yeah, Circuit City, I remember familiar.

(14:23):
I remember when this one went out of business.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
That's not supposed to sound familiar to me, is it.
I've never been there, but that sounds familiar.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know what. I think? When you were a pretty
small kid in a in a like a little shopping
like an outdoor shopping mall that we used to go to,
there was an old, abandoned one and it had the
logo that says a Circuit City logo, And you asked
me one time what it was, but there was we
couldn't we couldn't go inside. It was just a big

(14:52):
empty store. But I told you at the time you
were probably like three or five or It's all the
same to me. Circuit City, Yeah, no, kind Yeah, I
would give you that point.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I was gonna say, that sounds like what else would
it be? Circuit City? Like motherboards and the inwards of computers.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
No, not that detailed. Maybe maybe they did sell mother boards.
It was basically it was best.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Buy circuit stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, it was best It was like best buy. It
was like computer stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, are we keeping track? Is that?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I think it would be electronics store would be more
accurate because they sold TVs, they sold the stuff that
radio Shack sold so they sold cables and stuff, but
a lot of it was I'm pretty sure, yeah, they
It just doesn't say maybe I should have had that.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Ready, I have three, right, I've let's see you you've
got you got Radio Shack, Blockbuster.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
You did, didn't get KB, didn't get dad Zookes. You
got Circuit City and Border. I only have two that
you got? Oh three radio Shack. Okay, yeah, it's a
Radio Shack, Circuit City, and Borders.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm not doing I'm not doing too bad.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
You're not doing too bad. Okay, I need I need
to chill out with the with the hints though. No,
here's what I'm pretty sure you know, because I think
they still have it. Spencer Spencer's Yeah, so this was
called Spencer Gifts. But yeah, Spencer's you know.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Spencer's yeah, it's kind of like an adult it's kind
of like an adult hot topic almost in a way.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
And then Claire's, Yeah, I probably took you to Claires
more than any other store. You went to Clayers all
the time. Anytime you had eleven dollars, you wanted to
go spend it at Clayer's.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I I noticed, though, like, yes, but I would go
in there, and then I'd be like, because you think
it's it's cheap, but it's not. You get like one
thing of ear rings and that there goes your eleven dollars,
and I'd be like, I feel like I could get
like three stuff animal like the Dollar Tree or for sure,
So I think I liked the idea of going that.

(17:04):
I'd get there and be like, I don't want to
give her all of my money.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
You were pretty tight with everything, for sure. Yeah, all right,
here's another one. Let's make this the last.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
And they're not out of business, No they're not. But
that's a ninety store.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Let's make this the last one. It is a ninety store.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
You didn't know, No, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, let me just open it up and see. So Claire's.
Claire's was the mall boutique where teens and preteens went
for their parental approved piercings and scrunchies.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
No teens go there now, not like that?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
No Nobe thirteen fourteen.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yes, but I was going to say, actually, the teens
are like depends on the style, because some girls have
that like uh they call it like soft girls style
or like bright style where it's like kind of more
kid likes. They get like really big charm earrings or
like unicorns and like big you know, headbands or stuff
like that. So I don't want to say no one
goes there. That's a team just not It's not popular

(18:05):
or common for teens to go maybe in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
But all right, I'm not gonna tell you any I'm
not gonna give you any hints on this one. Okay, ready,
Zany Brainy tutor time mm hm, be more specific.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Like that's where you would go to get tutored, like
if you needed help in a subject. Zany Brainy.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Filed for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy in two thousand and one, closed
all locations in two thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Zany Brainy. Maybe a candy store, oh like Johnny rock
Johnny Rockets, Johnny Rockets. Yeah, wait, give me a hint.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
This store closing was a huge blow to nerdy little
brothers everywhere.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, Zanny Brainy. Is it like a what are they called?
Like the card stores where you get like dungeons and
dragons and and Pokemon cars.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
They might have sold those as well. I would that
wasn't the main product, but that would be in line
with their demographic.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Did they sell flash cards? Yes, school equipment sure, like
erasers and pencils, and maybe should be next to the
flash cards.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Maybe probably a small section of that like cvs. Yeah, Uh,
you're right on it, flash cards right in their demographic.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I can't. I mean school, school equipment and.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
You're you're right there, man, you went Dungeons and Dragons,
school equipment, flash cards, you're there. Just say the say
the category school, no kind of maybe say the cool,
the cool teachers, for the cool teachers, for the cool teachers,

(20:28):
the fun teachers would would go, and the and the
the adults. I said, I was, I said, I was
gonna give your hands, and I'm giving you hands. Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Is it like quizzes like quiz games? Yeah, those are
all the words. I know.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
What do you mean educational games?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I got that one. I got that one.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
Quizzes and Games is consisted of educational toys and multi
media products aimed at children ages four to thirteen, such
as games, puzzles.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Uh, I think quizzes and games.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's mixing the two trains. Computer software, electronic learning aids
and musical instruments, science toys, plush toys, dolls, and sports
team sports themed toys.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It sounds like they should not have gone away.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Sounds pretty cool, huh.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
It sounds like they're they were putting the money into
the right stuff, making challenges and quizzes more of a
independently ye like if you have fixation on trains or
fixation on science, fixation on maybe more of a game
type of learning, you get to pick that and still learn.
That seems like a really good they should bring back
zany brainy.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I agree, let's contact them, all right. This one's a
little tricky because this is the last one.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
I thought that was the last one.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
It was gonna be. But this was a little tricky
because this store exists in existed in La up until
like a couple of months ago, but I think it
may have been the last one. I thought it was

(22:19):
still a really popular store. But there was one like
right down the street from us not too long ago,
and then it was announced that it had closed down.
But apparently they filed for bankruptcy in two thousand and three,
no sorry, in two thousand and six. And I'm not

(22:39):
gonna tell you who bought them, because it's a little
too close to what they do. I know it to
be a very successful store. I know it to be
had to have a lot of history, especially in LA.
When I'm gonna say the words and you're either gonna
immediately go, oh, it's this because you live in LA,
or you're gonna be like, what the hell is at
I have no clue. Ready, this may be a hole

(23:02):
in the conversation or might be the end of the episode.
I don't know. They can probably tell by how much
time is left ready, Sam.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Goody Home Goods, No Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Sam Club, Sam Goody.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah. I went into Sam Goodie probably last year.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't think I've ever heard those words come out
of your mouth since I've known.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
I don't. I usually go to their competition, which is
right across the street, because it's better. I was just
more comfortable with it because I just I had an
account there was I went there a lot in Texas.
Sam good You've said the store that there that is
their competition in this episode. Yeah, Sam, this is a

(23:52):
big one. I'm let me ask some questions.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Just answer answer yes.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Or no, yes or no only yes, Okay.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Would you wake up in the morning and be like
I need something from Sam Goody and leave in the
morning to go get the thing? To continue your day? Me, yes, yes,
would I.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Maybe most people know?

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, so that's why I went out of business. Yeah,
most people didn't do that. Was it made to go
in the morning or anytime?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
No? Anytime?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Sam Goody?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I think about why they would use that name, like like, ooh,
Goody I have.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I don't even know what it was named after. I
don't know why.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Sam, probably, but like why Goody? Did they sell goodies?

Speaker 1 (24:43):
They did? How did Sam Goody get goodies or Goodie is?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Like?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Oh, it was his nickname, Sam Goody, good Wit Goodlewitz.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
What was his favorite thing to do?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Sam Goodie was a mall staple and a crucial signifier
of the arrival of mm HMM culture. At its peak,
it had thirteen hundred locations across the country. However, by
nineteen ninety one, when Goodowitz died, the chain had dwindled
to only three hundred and twenty stores. As of December
twenty twenty four, only two Sam Goodie stores remained in

(25:19):
the United States.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Goody Goody are you saying Goody Goody? What? Twice?

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Wait? The two stores are saying, Ohio and Oregon?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
So they still exist?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
No? They did?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:34):
When did the one. Oh, his name was Sam Goodowitz
and he late he legally changed his name to Sam
Goodie because Goody was his nickname.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
And they sold goodies that you cannot eat.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't call them goodies. That would be
a joke to call them goodies. Oh but I'd be like,
you can goodies today, and I would go get what
I needed to get.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Smoke shop.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh no, like really good guess. I'm impressed with your guessing.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
No, no, no, it's not like a Bevemo.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Nope, thinking like a little bottles based on the name.
That's why, that's why I want to do this episode
is some of these names don't match. And if you
didn't grow up then you know. But I didn't realize
Sam Goodie was going to be on there.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
For me, it was the way you lowered your voice
and did one of these. So I was thinking cigars
or whiskey. No dang. And it's it's probably different from
Radio Shack. Okay, the company that it's the competitor's best Buy.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
They were bought by best Buy in two thousand.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
So best Buy sells some of the things.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
That very few but yes, best buyas was not their
main competition. Their main competition was the store that you
said earlier.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
That was not in your I said it as a guest.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
You said it as a guest. Now you said it
is like, it's kind of like this one more guests,
So we gotta wrap it up.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Dang, I don't know, Sam Goody.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
You know it would be flipping out right now, here's
your final hint. Michael Michael Riggilio, our buddy, our family friend,
the producer of the other podcast we do called Dogma Debate.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Guitar Center.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yes, okay. They are a massive music and entertainment reseller.
Microphone speakers, Mike stands everything we use it in this podcast,
studio yep, YEP, pro audio instruments, drums, and.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Literally click obviously when you said, Michael, but but I
think also, don't some guitars aren't they start with Sam?
Isn't there like a isn't there a some type of
company that says that? Or maybe I'm.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Imagining I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Oh, I don't know. But also Michael, obviously he plays guitar,
so I knew that. But then you said I would
go there in the morning. I don't know that anyone
else or like normal, get it, get up. Yeah, and
then you said you had an account there. I remember
you always had an account at Guitar Center, right, so
that makes sense?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah? Wow, Sam Goody. It really says when did the
Sam Goody let me, I gotta find this out. When
did Sam Goody Los Angeles close? Here we go?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh yeah, twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
It says February twenty twenty five. But that's not right.
It was definitely closed before that.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
There's one employee left.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, he's just Sam, Sam's grandson, So I just staying there.
Come buy word. He had a good life. He crushed.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
It'd be so sad.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, I don't know what the hell is going on?

and five.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I almost guessed Goodwill.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
How is this?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I'm glad my last guest was correct because I was
like Goodwill. Then you were like Michael. I was like, oh, Michael,
doesn't my knowledge, isn't.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
It Sam Goody Will?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's I was thinking, my good Will. Maybe they try
to keep some of the name or something. I was like,
but then you said you had an account. That doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 1 (29:32):

you very short Auden. It's gonna be one of our
shortest episodes ever. The next one, I'm gonna play you
