Welcome back, Retail Therapeutic.

My name's Will in the studio with me today, as always.

Barrett Dudley.

Barrett, how we doing? We're doing great.

Very excited about today. We've got a big guest today. I mean, are you the golden boy

of fencing right now? We've got an Olympic medalist, two-time Olympic medalist, 2020 and

2024. He's got a recent silver medal coming out of tour in.

Nick Itkin of USA Fencing. How's it going?

I'm great. Thank you guys for having me.

Excited to be here.

Obviously the Olympics are very hot right now, so this is a perfect time to have you on,

but I'm quite excited right now. Yeah, it's, it's pretty, it's pretty cool. Thank you for coming down to Austin. You know, we've got you in studio, which is awesome.
