Adidas and Gucci have teamed up to collabo to
come up with a expensive umbrella that doesn't work.
So, this umbrella, it's a Adidas Gucci collabo includes $1,290 for an umbrella.
That will get you real wet because it doesn't protect you from the rain.
>> Is that attractive?
>> Ben Shapiro already against this.
He's like, I can't have it.
[LAUGH] So, apparently even though this is not waterproof,
there is a use for this overpriced umbrella.
It is meant for sun protection as Gucci and Adidas note.
And it's also something that could be used for decorative use.
And so decorative would mean that it should be pleasing to look at.
But here's what it looks like.
So, if you've got nearly $1,300 to burn, you could burn it on this.
I don't know,
this is like super busy umbrella that would not keep you safe from the rain.
>> Yeah, look, I'm not gonna use it or whatever, but
I think it's better looking than most umbrellas for purely decorative.
I can imagine someone posing on Instagram with that and
it not being the most ridiculous thing they were wearing.
>> That's true.
>> But the fact that you can also make it keep water out for $1300.
You can't have a layer on the inside that stops water.
>> Why would you do that when for just a mere $1500 you can get an additional
umbrella that specifically used to protect you from the rain.
>> Does it look the same?
>> Even worse.
>> [LAUGH] at least, yeah.
>> I'm kidding, I don't even know if that brother exists.
But my point is they keep coming out with this stuff by the way because there's
a market for it.
And that's the thing that blows my mind like there is a market for it.
Like there are people who have $1300 they don't know what to do with it and
they're like let me buy an umbrella for decorative purposes.
And maybe to protect me from the sun maybe.
>> Yeah, if you want everyone like above you looking down to
think that you're on the way to the met gala or something.
So, just don't get it.
Although I will say that over the past few years I've started to
reevaluate things like this, in terms of stupid wastes of money.
It's a stupid waste of money but
everything is better than buying an ape or some other NFT at this point.
So, I don't mind it as much as I used too.
>> At least it's like a tangible item.
>> It's a real thing >> Yeah.
>> It doesn't do the only reason you'd have an umbrella.
But >> And
they're pushing it as like this collector's item which look to
be fair >> I mean,
like someone 10 years from now and be like my God you have one of those umbrellas.
>> And look we could be wrong maybe maybe.
Yeah, maybe 10 years from now >> Of course the person is getting
caught in the rain anyway.
>> That's true.
>> That's just tax them, they'll still be able to buy their stupid umbrellas,
but tax them first.
>> Yeah, tax them their fair share of taxes.
By the way where you're likely to find a much bigger market for
this stuff is actually China.
The market for luxury goods has really expanded in China because of
their economic success in recent years.
I remember talking about that with Jake on the show.
But let's let's talk about our own vices because we all have our vices, okay?
What is?
Yeah, I'm going to ask you.
>> What?
>> What is something that you have indulged in financially that other people
might not understand?
Because maybe we're being unfair to the fashion world.
Maybe this is something that really makes people happy and
if they wanna waste their money on it, do you boo?
>> Sure.
I mean, look, so we we talked about wedding expenses.
My wedding wasn't particularly expensive for a wedding, but
a wedding is at the end of the day a party.
So, it's pretty needless.
So, maybe that.
I would say >> It's not needless.
>> Okay, so I'm gonna say the closest thing I have to a big fat,
okay no, I once bought a jacket online because and
this is the worst doughiest reason for a guy to buy something.
Some of you might already be guessing.
Do you know what it is?
Cuz I saw James Bond wear it in a movie once.
Got it, put it on thought not for me, send it back, nope.
It wasn't gonna work for
all the reasons that you're filling in your mind that it wouldn't work.
>> But what kind of a jacket was it?
>> It was a Peacoat, it's just I got a different Peacoat that just suits me much
better and it was like one third the cost.
So, anyway, yeah, also it's LA I've worn it like once.
>> Your example is a peacoat that you've returned.
>> Well, yeah, I have a worse one.
You want a stupider fashion expense.
>> Yes.
>> Now, this was not a >> Wanna be fashion, just like something
>> I don't really
>> Necessary that you wasted money on.
Not a lot.
But, okay, so this is over the course of, I'm gonna say 10 years.
So, I play a video game called League of Legends.
You play a little characters, there's different ones.
You can buy outfits for those characters that have no in game effect,
it's just purely fashion.
And none of them are very expensive, 5 box, 10 box or whatever.
But over the course of 10 years, I don't wanna know how much I've spent.
Gradually small dribs and drabs over 10 years, hundreds and
hundreds of hours of playing.
That's probably worse than the umbrella.
>> It's a good, >> It's less real
than the umbrella [LAUGH].
>> That's a good example >> [LAUGH]
>> Is a good example.
Congratulations.
>> I got a lot of fun out of that game.
>> No, you nailed it, but you're, I mean you're you have company.
I know that people love to buy virtual nonsense that doesn't like
>> Fortnite too.
>> Can you imagine that makes me look like a candy cane, like video game character.
Like >> I don't have to imagine I've done
it recently.
>> A lot of you do it and I'm not gonna >> Do it right now.
>> Like, okay, how much does it cost to buy an article of clothing?
>> A scale of probably be like, some might be as cheap as two bucks,
some might be five bucks.
The most expensive ones ever probably like 15 bucks.
>> 15 bucks.
>> For a digital outfit for a very tiny fake person
>> To dress up your video game.
>> They do look cool though.
Very cool.
Cooler than I did in the PICO, admittedly [LAUGH].
>> Okay.
>> What about you?
