When Clyde said him and Kareem looking like Eric B. & Rakim I laughed pretty hard but then I wondered if the Bunt guys know who that even is, actually Clizza dropped a bunch of names that I’m sure they had no idea who he was talking about.
Still overall great episode even if they both basically admitted they would ride for Cariuma for 5k a month.
Sidebar: Would you ride for Cariuma for 5k a month?
Only thing is you have to always wear the shoes in public and also sport Cariuma t shirts from time to time.
PLUS you are not allowed to tell anyone that you are getting paid 5k a month.
So I would have to accept an income stream I've never dared to hope for that easily covers all my family's monthly costs for basically no work on my part, or I could kEeP iT rEaL? C'mon man, that's not a question.
btw: Hi Cephas, hi Donovan. Terrific season so far. Appreciate you!
Ok first of all, I apologize in advance for this really long response I’m about to drop, but I don’t know where you live and how big your family is but 5 grand a month easily covers all of your family’s living costs?
For argument’s sake let’s say you have a wife and two kids and your wife is taking care of the kids so she doesn’t work.
60k a year might be great for you if you live somewhere like Oklahoma or South Dakota (there’s probably cheaper places but just spitballing here) but I live in one of the most expensive cities in the country and that kind of dough for a family of four is not going to get you much in reality.
Would 60 grand a year be nice just for wearing some shoes?
Yeah it definitely would be pretty great, I never said I wouldn’t take it but I never said I would either.
My wife and I both work and our combined income is more than 60 grand a year so 5k a month is not quit your job type of money by any stretch.
If you’re single and don’t live in a city where the cost of living is ridiculous, you’ll probably be doing swell.
Balling? Not really but you’d be comfortable I guess.
It’s not exactly life changing money in 2023 is what I’m saying.
I wouldn’t quit my job and neither would my wife but yeah 5 grand a month would definitely help most people, absolutely.
I’m not sure how many people would ride for Braille or Revive for five grand a month but maybe they’d consider it?
Who knows, I just thought it was funny to hear people on a show that constantly shit on a shitty shoe brand and have guests on their show lconstantly shit on that same shitty shoe brand all the time basically say that they would ride for that same shitty shoe brand for not that much money when you think about it, all the while their entire show is basically sponsored by a different major shoe brand that is probably universally considered by most skateboarders to be not shitty.
If I was working for Cariuma I would immediately make the Bunt guys an offer to sponsor their show.
A big one.
Like serious life changing quit your job type money.
They can afford it.
Imagine how much sales and street cred that would equate to, certainly way more than what they are working with now.
How much would it take to be “the number one shoe in skateboarding “ on “the number one podcast in skateboarding “?
Sounds like it’s negotiable, Cariuma, how much you got?
