Welcome back to retail therapy.

Happy 2025 to everyone out there.

My name's Will Barrett Dudley.

How's it going today?

Allow me to be the first to wish everybody a very happy and successful 2025.

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I just I feel like a hat way I got to start by just by saying how bummed I out and devastated I am by what's happening in

LA. Yeah.

I'm quite positive that we've we've got listeners out there. We've got designer

friends of the pod, Matt and Pat, they both working out there on their brands. I

mean, we each have friends there watching everything that's happened is just been,

I mean, nothing is sort of heartbreaking mean nothing short of heartbreaking it's like

it's stuff i cannot even fathom i cannot just i cannot just imagine just like walking out and like

your entire neighborhood is burned to the ground um it's really really something so man my my my

thoughts and my love and my hope is is all out there there in southern california because that that's rough

very well said barrett yeah i echo everything barrett said it's been uh not fun to watch i feel for

everyone out there dealing with it um you know just knowing people who you know who don't live in

l a who have had fire devastation before I just know how miserable that process can be

and how life altering it is.

And so I hope that anyone that's affected by it

is finding some positives in life

and clinging to those for a bit.

Yeah, we'll do our best to start the year off
