Show notes provided by Joe Peluso"Spider-Man, Spider-Man does whatever a spider can..." Well yes, but not as easily as you might think? Join your hosts James and Joe as they saunter down to Joe's Comic Corner and take another trip back to the swinging sixties and discover just how difficult it can get for everyone's favorite Web-Slinger. The guys take a deep dive into "The Master Planner Saga" (issues # 's 31, 32 & 33), and with the events that culminate in issue #33, a diving suit might be a good piece of equipment to have on hand for our hapless hero.   These are the seminal issues that introduce Peter Parker's firstdays in college at ESU, Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborne. Also we met the mysterious Master Planner who is purloining any and all things of atomic nature. Aunt May is in the hospital--again. Peter and Betty are about to split up. And Spider-man goes through a gauntlet of goons that leaves him badly battered and bruised! It's three issues of massive mayhem as Spidey races the clock to save his dying aunt from a disease he inflicted upon her. Yeah, the old Parker luck knows no boundaries.    As James so aptly points out at the start of this podcast--"There's a ton of soap opera in these books!" Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, at this point in the series, knew what their fans wanted, and they were not shy in delivering the goods.  All the madness comes to one of the most classic conclusions early in issue #33 when Spider-Man performs one of his most iconic feats that still resonates with Spidey fans to this day! But even at that point, the story is not yet concluded as even more goons stand in Peter's way. And what do you think happens? POW! BAM! WHACK! Spideytriumphs! But with victory also comes defeat. This is classic Amazing Spider-Man. It's exciting, colorful, emotional and more fun than a barrel of arachnids! YECH!!!   Oh, who is The Master Planner? I ain't telling. He's a really scary dude!

In this episode, we discuss what sets Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) apart from past Spidey projects, its place in the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, and why glowing test screening reactions are driving big pre-purchase ticket sales.   We also dive deep into the theme of evolution—both as a creative tool to refresh Peter Parker's character and as a narrative mechanism to introduce the X-Men into the MCU. Finally, we tackle a heavier topic: how the concept of evolution can sometimes feel like a stumbling block for people of faith. Matt candidly shares his own faith journey and recommends his favorite book about integrating scientific theory with personal belief.

We're revisiting Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man again, this time in-depth and with full spoilers! And boy does this first episode and its strange Spidey origin play differently when you know where the season ends. We get into the show's origins as an MCU tie-in and how being freed of those restraints leads to a truly special Spider-Man series, with a fun friendship between Peter Parker and Nico Minoru, an exploration of racial prejudice and privilege through Lonnie Lincoln, Spidey wearing a hockey jersey, and classic comics-inspired designs.We're watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Amazing Fantasy”.Sources: CBR, Animation Magazine, Total FilmCheck out Glitterjaw's new variety show, Glitterjaw Presents!Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the firing of Carlos Mendoza and hiring of Andy Green, the resurgence of the Mets offense, AJ Ewing leading off, Juan Soto being Juan Soto, Lindor's struggles in his return, the failures of Mark Vientos and Brett Baty, a very crowded dugout, the disappearance of the Spidey mask, the status of Marcus Semien, and up and down pitching.

For nearly a decade, we've followed Tom Holland's Peter Parker through almost every defining moment of his life. From his recruitment in Captain America: Civil War to the heartbreaking ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the MCU has given us something no other live-action Spider-Man has experienced: one continuous coming-of-age story. But with Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the horizon, that's about to change. In this episode, I revisit the Home Trilogy and explore why this next chapter feels so different. We talk about Peter's journey from responsibility to independence, the evolution of his Spider-Sense, why the Home Trilogy may secretly be one giant origin story, and why the first real time jump in MCU Spider-Man history has me more excited than ever. Could Brand New Day be the first time we're meeting a Spider-Man who's been growing without us? Swing into the conversation, and let's talk Spidey.

While the characterization of Spidey in Amazing Spider-Man 2 is still spot-on, not much else in the movie is. Tim and Mulele discuss the myriad problems, and occasional strong points, of this 2014 film. (Originally published on Patreon July 4, 2020.)

After Sam Raimi bailed on doing any more Spidey movies, Sony decided to reboot. So, ten years after Spider-man 1, viewers got a new version of Spider-man’s origin story – a long, drawn out one with no catharsis (or did we blink and miss it?). One could call this movie unnecessary, as Mulele does, but Tim finally got the Spidey characterization he’s been waiting for! Tim and Mulele review. (Originally published on Patreon June 6, 2020.)

Jim Hill and Dan Graney dig into a wild week of Marvel speculation, from murky Avengers: Doomsday leak drama to Sony's carefully controlled Spider-Man: Brand New Day rollout. They also spotlight the Muppets' latest Marvel crossover before Dan unveils a Doctor Doom theory that may reframe Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU return entirely. Plus, brisket, burnt ends, Muppet Treasure Island covers, and one very big question: what if Tony Stark was never the rule, but the exception? HIGHLIGHTS • Jim and Dan break down the blurry Avengers: Doomsday footage leak and the debate over whether it was real, AI-enhanced, or both. • Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo Brothers tease Doomsday as a structurally ambitious, emotionally complex follow-up to Infinity War and Endgame. • Spider-Man: Brand New Day ticket sales arrive with a tiny cast video instead of the trailer fans expected. • The new Brand New Day trailer points toward a Spidey-versus-Hulk showdown and a world where almost no one remembers Peter Parker. • The hosts dig into the mystery of who still remembers Peter Parker, from Savage Hulk to a possible Jean Grey connection. • Marvel's The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe celebrates The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary with Kermit, Gonzo, Deadpool, and one very mean Uncle Ben joke. • Dan lays out his big Doctor Doom theory: what if Doom is the multiversal constant and Tony Stark was the one heroic anomaly? • Jim connects the theory back to Doctor Strange's “one” winning timeline and the possibility that the MCU only ever had one good Tony Stark.

In aflevering 263 van Nerd Culture schuiven Koos, Huey en Jelle aan voor een bomvolle show vol fantasy, sciencefiction en een flinke dosis James Bond. Huey deelt zijn eerste indrukken van House of the Dragon seizoen 3, we bespreken de nieuwste trailer van Spider-Man: Brand New Day, en duiken in opvallende uitspraken van Idris Elba over de toekomst van 007. Verder hebben we het over Netflix en hun veranderende filmstrategie, een nieuwe Star Trek-reeks met Seven of Nine als kapitein, de terugkeer van Austin Powers, problemen voor Masters of the Universe, set leaks van Avengers: Doomsday en natuurlijk de eerste beelden van Shrek 5. Kortom: genoeg nieuws, meningen en discussies voor een nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture. Nieuwe Spider-Man Brand New Day Trailer Ook bespreken we de nieuwste trailer van Spider-Man: Brand New Day, die een verrassende link legt met de wereld van de X-Men. De film brengt bekende gezichten terug zoals MJ, Ned Leeds, Bruce Banner en The Punisher, maar introduceert ook nieuwe personages die mogelijk grote gevolgen hebben voor de toekomst van het MCU. Opvallend is de bevestiging van Bill Metzger, een beruchte anti-mutant activist uit de Marvel-comics. Daarmee lijkt Marvel de deur verder open te zetten naar de komst van de X-Men binnen het MCU. Daarnaast blijven de speculaties rond Sadie Sink volop doorgaan, waarbij veel fans vermoeden dat zij Jean Grey speelt. Volgens Kevin Feige wordt Brand New Day een terugkeer naar de klassieke Spider-Man-verhalen, met Peter Parker die opnieuw worstelt met het leven van een anonieme held in New York. De trailer roept daardoor niet alleen vragen op over Spidey’s toekomst, maar ook over de rol die mutanten straks gaan spelen binnen het Marvel-universum. House of the Dragon Season 3 Daarnaast bespreekt Huey de eerste aflevering van House of the Dragon seizoen 3, die inmiddels vooruit te bekijken was. Na de opbouw van seizoen 2 lijkt de serie nu definitief de fase van totale oorlog binnen te gaan. Team Black en Team Green bereiden zich voor op enkele van de grootste conflicten uit de Targaryen-geschiedenis, terwijl de machtsstrijd om de Iron Throne verder escaleert. Huey deelt zijn indrukken van de terugkeer naar Westeros, de ontwikkelingen rondom Rhaenyra, Daemon, Alicent en Aemond, en bespreekt hoe de serie de gebeurtenissen uit Fire & Blood verder naar het scherm vertaalt. Ook komen de nieuwe personages, de groeiende rol van de Dragonseeds en de aanloop naar grote veldslagen zoals de Battle of the Gullet aan bod. Is House of the Dragon na twee seizoenen nog steeds de waardige opvolger van Game of Thrones, en weet de serie het momentum vast te houden nu de echte oorlog eindelijk losbarst? Huey geeft zijn spoilerarme eerste indrukken van misschien wel HBO’s grootste fantasyserie van dit moment.

Looks like we should stay dry today with no rain in the forecast. A bit warmer than yesterday, too. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "If you were going to bury a time capsule that won't be opened for 250 years, what would you put in it?" And Jean's question for Brian was: "Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares that you remember from your youth?" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on the deadly shooting at a hospital in Delaware earlier this week, Rachel Dratch pulls out the "Debbie Downer" character during a commencement speech, an actress from "The Ring" and "Lilo & Stitch" passes away, In sports, the Brewers beat the Guardians again last night, Team USA is set to take on Australia tomorrow in World Cup action, the Knicks will be the first NBA Championship team to visit President Trump at the White House, the Vegas Golden Knights & the Toronto Maple Leafs announce their new head coaches, and the college baseball World Series match-up is set! Tom Hanks recently learned that Woody from "Toy Story" has a last name, we talked about what's on the TV today/tonight, the new "Spiderman" trailer dropped yesterday and we also got a look at some of the Spidey popcorn buckets. And if you've got a bunch of money, you can go to the Sphere in Vegas to see "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the near future. Elsewhere in sports, an Olympic athlete collapses at a recent event, Travis Kelce admits to confusing Warren Buffet with Jimmy Buffet, and the MLB Pride caps continue to be an issue for some people. Cool story about a kid who just found a REALLY ancient Viking sword(not sure if he held it above his head and shouted "I HAVE THE POWER"!!!), and check out this great grandmother who just saw video from her wedding that was recently found. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had teens in California riding E-bikes through a Walmart, a guy who was experimenting with some homemade fireworks and it didn't go so well, and a guy who's going to prison after squirting semen on unsuspecting women for nearly 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss a revelation in the LOOGY world, continuing offensive woes, BBK issues, the lack of starting pitching depth, Gary's comments on Semien's D, Spidey in the dugout, Kai Correa returns, injury updates from Lindor, Robert, Senga, and Tauchman, Jared Young's ascension, and more.

I sat down with Andy Barrero, Director of Coaching at OC Premier Academy, to break down everything you need to know about futsal — and why it might be the missing piece in your child's development.We cover the basics: what futsal actually is, how the court and ball are different, what shoes to wear, and why goalkeepers don't wear gloves. Andy also explains what he calls the "Spidey senses" effect — how playing futsal trains players to read the game so well that when they step onto a full-size soccer field, everything slows down.If you're in the OC area or want to learn more about their program, connect with OC Premier Academy here:

Despite one of the most popular superheroes and fictional characters of all time, Spidey's road to the big screen was a rough one, taking nearly twenty years as he hopped between different directors and studios, getting tangled in rights issues, before finally landing at Sony Pictures with Sam Raimi helming the project. What came a few years later would not only be a fantastic film that did the character justice, but a cultural milestone when it came to comic book films. So, how well does it hold up? Come join Brian, Alec, Darby, and Trey to find out as they kick off the Spider-Marathon with the film that started it all -- Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN!

We enter the Sony Spider-Verse once again to catch up with Ben Reilly, also known as Spider-Noir. It's been 5 years since Reilly donned the Spider mask, and his Private Investigator business is going under. But all that is about to change when a troublesome dame walks through the door. Join Couch Soup contributors Thomas Richards, Iain McParland, and Lily K for Watching Now: Spider-Noir, discussing the Amazon Prime show's ups and downs. Did we watch it in Black and White or True Color? How do we feel about this alternate universe Spidey? Are the villains too one-note to care about, and should we be crying over their demise? And, will Nic Cage go full on Nic Cage?!?! Watching Now: Spider-Noir is a Watching Now podcast from Couch Soup. Join us for reactions, reviews, and excitement about all things Spidey. We're all Marvel Maniacs, so join us for some laughs and ultra-nerdy discussion!

Spider-Noir on Amazon Prime is a take on the black and white Spider-Man from the comics and is played by Nicolas Cage, who also played a version of this character from Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse. This post WW1/prohibition/Great Depression era world sees Ben Reilly, a retired Spider-Man who has to find a new reason to be a hero, since the normal Spidey tragedy happens to him. This is a fairly true to the classic film noir stylings and Cage goes full Nick Cage and we absolutely loved it.0:00 - The Spider/Intro1:10 - Initial impressions6:00 - Noir has two definitions8:50 - A who's who of character actors11:40 - The Spider of it all 18:00 - Some of yall don't under the “noir” in Spider-Noir23:35 - It's a good story53:30 - What we'vebeen watching/What's next

This week, DtW answers: What if your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man wasn't so friendly, so modern or so colorful? Spider-Noir is on Prime Video so Dan and Raul can decide what they think about Nic Cage's take on Pet... er, Ben Riley actually! Probably due to contracts, there are no Parkers in this black and white private detective tale that puts the current Spider-Man a 1930s New York City that shoots a lot like modern Los Angeles, but there are plenty of powered up weirdos filling newspaper pages. Some characters are old fashioned takes on previously seen villains like The Sandman, alongside new foes like Tombstone as well as classic Spidey fodder, organized crime. The first two eps covered on this pod give you a great taste of what's to come throughout the series, so come light up your big ol' bug eyes and check it out!

Greg & Coy are breaking down a massive week of Marvel and DC news, including the latest Spider-Man: Brand New Day updates, Tom Holland's next chapter as Peter Parker, and James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow. We talk about the Spider-Man 4 Empire Magazine coverage, the return of Jon Bernthal's Punisher, The Hand, the Hulk teases, and what this new direction could mean for the MCU's street-level Spider-Man. We also discuss the Spider-Man vs Hulk buzz, the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls reveal from Arc System Works, and why fans are paying close attention to every new piece of Spidey-related promo art heading into the next trailer. Then we jump over to the DCU, where James Gunn has revealed Nicholas Hoult's comic-accurate Lex Luthor Warsuit for Man of Tomorrow. We break down the Lex Luthor battle suit, David Corenswet's updated Superman suit conversation, the Brainiac speculation, and what this could mean for Superman, Lex, and the future of the DC Universe. From Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day to David Corenswet's Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Marvel and DC fans have a lot to talk about right now — and we're diving into all of it.

Some scientists are screwing around in the ocean, and Namor doesn't like it. Spidey gets involved, could this lead to war between the surface and Atlantis?

We all know Peter Parker's origin story, but Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends was obligated to give it to us all over again, because this is Spider-Man's show. Before we get to the mandatory flashback depicting Uncle Ben's death, we get a modern-day story about a villain named The Shocker whose superpower involves vibrating people. We make all the jokes you'd expect us to make about that, but also, most of this episode is about how Ryan's apartment has been haunted by an old-timey shopkeeper who was murdered there in the early 1900s. Why is that something we discussed on this episode, and so often? Who knows???

​The trench coat is back, the mask is on, and Ben Reilly is officially back in the web-slinging saddle—even if his superhero rust just accidentally saved a mob boss. This week, we are breaking down a massive double-header: Episode 2 ("Tread Lightly") and Episode 3 ("Double Cross") of Spider-Noir.​We dive deep into the expanding, gritty landscape of 1930s New York, tracking the clues from Flint Marko's ransacked apartment all the way to the Hooverville raids.​Inside This Week's Briefing:​The Relapsed Hero: Ben poses as a spectacled plumber to get his gear back, puts Silvermane on notice, and then... completely ruins a police stakeout. We break down that glorious, chaotic car-surfing action sequence and Nic Cage's peak Bogart voice.​Sympathy for the "Villains": Spider-Noir is flipping the script on classic Spidey rogues. We react to the live-action debuts of a deteriorating Flint Marko (Sandman) and Lonnie Lincoln (Tombstone) being portrayed as tragic, protective figures rather than outright monsters.​Robbie Robertson on the Beat: Robbie gets a firsthand look at the corruption plaguing the city, only for the Daily Bugle to twist the narrative into anti-powered propaganda. We discuss how deep Mayor Morris and Silvermane's ties really go.​Cat Hardy's Double Game: Is she a client, a victim, or the mastermind who leaked the liquor transfer in the first place? We map out the clues pointing directly back to The Alcove.​Listener Question of the Week: How do you feel about the show turning Sandman and Tombstone's comic book reputations into in-universe political propaganda? Hit us up in the comments or drop us a review with your theories!​Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to the feed. Tread lightly out there, listeners.

Lots and lots of burning questions dominate the news. Do we need a $250 bill, and what or who should be on it? Mamdani flexes his communist urges in NYC, so what could possibly go wrong? And can a state tax a "slush fund" at 100%? James and Charles have thoughts.But the question we really want an answer to is, "Do we have a deal with Iran or not?" To answer that, we welcome back our old friend Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the former director for countering Iranian weapons of mass destruction for the White House National Security Council during the first Trump administration.It's an episode to get your Spidey senses tingling.

Just as soon as it began, Marc's Miserable Marvelous May 4: EVER! has come to a close, but not before we do battle in a - shhhhh! - "secret" war with SPIDER-MAN: SECRET WARS! Stitched together with five episode of the Spider-Man Animated Series and released on home video, SECRET WARS sees Spidey go up against The Beyonder and Madame Web in a test to see if good can triumph over evil! Why did The Beyonder have to transport Spider-Man and other heroes onto a distant planet to watch that when they seem to do it on the regular on Earth? Who knows! All we know is there are some rules and also not some rules.Joining us in the adventure is Karen Graci, a writer and producer for My Adventures with Superman (check out Season 3 on HBO MAX and/or Adult Swim) and the Head Writer and Producer of the upcoming series My Adventures with Green Lantern! We discuss why Madame Web represents life goals, why it sucks to be pulled into an interdimensional battle when you're in the middle of something, and how easy it is to ruin an entire planet's existence! Was Marc miserable? Did he enjoy it? Which character was his favorite?

The summer box office is already popping, with The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Michael raking in millions before Memorial Day — and with new movies coming from Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, Marvel, Pixar and A24's youngest director ever, it feels like the industry might have its best summer since 2019. (Even if The Mandalorian and Grogu fails to launch.) Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey make their picks for the season's biggest hits in Ankler Agenda‘s first-ever summer box office draft (fantasy football-style), as they predict the next top performers of the summer. Plus: With President Trump voicing support for The Hills alum Spencer Pratt in his run for mayor of Los Angeles — “I'd like to see him do well” — and Pratt gaining ground among the Hollywood elite, the town gets closer to seeing the reality show president push the reality show mayoral candidate to the top (or is it bottom?) of the food chain.

Spidey is back in the MCU and we're here to review his first standalone film with Spider-Man: Homecoming. But Spidey ain't alone cause Iron Man is going the festivities along with plenty of tie in to the larger MCU

The work week is officially in the rearview, and we're diving into the Marvel mysteries that have us scratching our heads. From falling viewership to the heroes who have gone completely MIA, we're breaking it all down before we clock out for the next 48 hours.​Daredevil "Bored" Again: We're looking at the viewership numbers and what people are saying for the latest Born Again hype. Is the audience checking out? We talk about why the hype train might be stalling and if the fans are officially getting "bored" with the slow burn.​The Frank Castle Vibe: That classic Punisher GIF is the only way to describe our reaction to the latest ratings. We're breaking down why Frank Castle's "wait, wait, wait" energy is the current mood of the MCU fandom.​The Missing Wall-Crawler: Look, Spidey is the GOAT, but where is he? We discuss why New York is ready to hand him the Key to the City, but he's nowhere to be found. It's hard to celebrate the neighborhood hero when he's been missing in action for this long.​The Off-Day Energy​"We love the web-slinger, but you can't give a Key to the City to a guy who doesn't show up for the ceremony. Peter, check your DMs, New York is looking for you."​Closing Time: We're wrapping up the recording and heading into the break.

From the beginning, the Hermes Family knew they were in the craftsmen business. Making products that last for generations. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Wagmore Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple. And Stephen, just before he whispered the topic in, this tells you what Stephen thinks about me. He said, “Yeah. I’ll tell you this one, but I don’t think you’re going to know about it because it’s a really high-end fashion.” Yeah. Stephen Semple: It’s not exactly what I said. Dave Young: Not … Well, I’m telling the truth in a more powerful way. And as we call them in Nebraska, Hermès, but it’s Hermès. Say it for me. Stephen Semple: I think it’s Hermès because it’s French. Dave Young: Hermès? Hermès? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Is the H pronounced at the beginning or not? I don’t know. Stephen Semple: I think it would be very soft. Dave Young: Scarves and things like that, that’s all I know. Stephen Semple: Well, the big thing they’re known for is handbags. Dave Young: Things I don’t own is what they’re known for. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: And I will admit you were absolutely right to think that I probably don’t know a whole lot about these people or this brand. Stephen Semple: The more I looked into this company, the more interested I got on it because I got fascinated by some of the history. Dave Young: I got to share with you just how much I don’t know about them. You see this shirt I’m wearing as we record? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: This is from the fishing department at Walmart. Not the men’s clothing section. Fishing. And I- Stephen Semple: And, Dave- Dave Young: Here’s the other thing. Stephen Semple: Dave, you don’t fish, dude. Dave Young: I don’t fish. No, I don’t. I don’t fish at all. I stumbled across these shirts one time. I’m like, “I love these shirts.” But yeah, anyway, they’re not Hermès. Stephen Semple: So this is a really interesting company. It was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. And he’s a German-born craftsman. And the company started in Paris. Now, what makes it super rare is here we are, close to 190 years later, and it’s still primarily owned by direct descendants of Thierry. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: There you go, Dave. Dave Young: Okay. That’s pretty cool. That’s a family business. Stephen Semple: That’s interesting on its own, isn’t it? Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Stephen Semple: So the family owns somewhere between 65 and 70% of the business, and is publicly traded at around a valuation of about $200 billion. Dave Young: That’s a lot of billion. Stephen Semple: That’s a couple of billion, isn’t it? Dave Young: Yeah. Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: They only have like 70% of that 200 billion, so … Dave Young: Oh. Well, just downgraded their jet. Stephen Semple: Yeah. That’s it. So in 2010, the luxury giant LVMH tried to take the company over, and the family blocked it. There was a time where they tried to take over. And the CEO, Axel Dumas, is a sixth generation member of the Hermès family. So today, they have 300 stores. They do 14 billion EU, which is about 16 billion US in sales, which means they sell $50 million per store. Dave Young: I was going to say that’s not very many stores. Stephen Semple: No. And put in perspective, Gucci does about 25 million. Prada does half of that. Tiffany’s does about 15 million per store. $50 million per store. Dave Young: It’s got to be a front for something else. Stephen Semple: Now, their big product, so we talked about … Is this handbag called the Birkin bag. And the Birkin bag sells for anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per bag. Dave Young: Get out of town. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And often sells for more- Dave Young: Is it bottomless? Can you crawl into it? Stephen Semple: Seemingly, it’s a pretty big bag. I personally- Dave Young: Will it transport you to other dimensions? Stephen Semple: I personally have never known anybody who’s had one, so I can’t really comment. Dave Young: No. No. I just want to touch one. Stephen Semple: And here’s the other crazy thing, is they often sell for more on the secondary market. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Why not? Stephen Semple: They’re super- Dave Young: Because they only make a couple of them, or enough to sell. Stephen Semple: They’re super scarce. You cannot walk into a store and buy one. There’s a waiting list. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Even celebrities, doesn’t matter who you are, have to get on the waiting list. They’ve really leaned into this whole idea of scarcity. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: They’ve really leaned into it. Dave Young: How many billion dollars worth of scarcity? Stephen Semple: Oh, in terms of their sales? Dave Young: 300 stores. And how much per store? Stephen Semple: Well, 50 million a store. Dave Young: It doesn’t feel like scarcity, but when the handbags are 10,000 and up … Wow. Stephen Semple: And to this day, the leather bags use the original hand saddle stitching. Every bag is made by one person, beginning to end, handcrafted. Their scarves, which are also really known for, are hand screen printed. The edges are all hand rolled. And the CEO personally signs off on every product. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So there is this real high level of craftsmanship with it. So Thierry was born in 1801 in Krefeld, Germany. And at the time, that part of Germany was under the control of Bonaparte, which made him a French citizen. So that’s why though he was German-born, French citizen. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the town was known for textiles and was considered the city of velvet and silk. And in 1821, most of his family had died of famine and disease due to the war. So he moved to Normandy, where he learned the art of saddle and harness making under the Palmieri family. 1828, he married. And in 1837, he moved to Paris and opened an equestrian supply store. I’m going to butcher this. Dave Young: Of course you are. Stephen Semple: Rue Basse-du-Rempart. Dave Young: You said it perfectly. Stephen Semple: Okay. There we go. There, he made bridals, harnesses, carriage fittings using leather and wrought iron, right? And he became famous for a particularly strong saddle stitch that basically uses this opposite stitching. If one of the stitches broke, the other held. Dave Young: Now, here’s what I know about horses in Paris. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: Ain’t no cowboys over there. So again, this is the rich folk doing equestrian things and pulling carriages. Stephen Semple: That’s it. It was a mode of transportation. Dave Young: Yeah. The average folk are walking around the streets of Paris. Stephen Semple: Correct. Correct. It was the nobility who had horses and carriages. Now, that original stitch is still the stitch that’s being used today. Dave Young: Hey, if it works. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So this stitch is important to the history because to your point, horses and carriages were a mode of transportation. And, look, the roads were rough. Transportation was rough. So durability was really important. And his skill attracted the nobility. People like Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III. So Thierry went on to win several medals for this design and his work. And he became known because his stitching did not break, the leather aged beautifully, and the workmanship was flawless under stress. So he died in 1878. And his son, Charles-Émile, took over. And like his dad, he was dedicated to this quality. The business expanded. They started creating more products, including these really large bags that could actually carry a saddle and the boots, right? Because- Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That is a big bag. Stephen Semple: Right? Because if you had a horse and you’re showing up, you take the saddle, you take the boots off, right? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s really considered the forerunner to this big handbag that they make today. So you’re asking, “Is it big?” It’s a big handbag. So the business growing. Dave Young: Everything but the horse. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Everything but the horse. That’s it. So the business is growing. The prestige is growing. They’re making these products for the horse and carriage industry. Then Charles travels to Canada. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: Okay. And he comes across this unique fastening system that’s being used for the canvas roof of the convertible Cadillac. It was a zipper. Dave Young: Oh. Yeah. The zipper. Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: So he took the idea back to France, and he applied for a patent to use the idea, and thus was born the Hermès fastener. It was innovative at the time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: By the end- Dave Young: But it was a zipper? Stephen Semple: It’s a zipper. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: But it’s not a zipper. It’s the Hermès fastener. Dave Young: It’s the Hermès fastener. Yes. Get it right. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So by the end of World War II … This is another important part in terms of innovation because think about how many businesses that served the carriage trade that died. Dave Young: Well, sure. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Because once we started all using cars and … I’m also thinking, man, this German-owned business in Paris in World War II, that’s got to be a tricky road to- Stephen Semple: Well, we’re not at World War II yet. End of World War I. Dave Young: Okay. Into World War- Stephen Semple: Into World War I. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. Okay. Kind of the same. Stephen Semple: He realizes that the car is going to take off. He notices the car. But what he also realizes, it’s a faster form of transportation. So it requires stronger materials and better fasteners because remember, the early cars didn’t have trunks that you put things in. You put a trunk on the back of the car and attached it all with fasteners. Dave Young: Right. So you need a trunk that could withstand being outdoors while a car drives it around. Stephen Semple: Correct. They did a collaboration with Bugatti where Bugatti commissioned a yellow trunk and yellow cowhide to match the first Bugatti Royale. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Right. So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off. And trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. They leaned into the things they were already good at. And I think this is important because how many companies, again, were unable to pivot to the automobile business? Dave Young: I think of all the things in a car. Yeah. Eventually, we figured out we could actually put a trunk in the car instead of- Stephen Semple: Eventually. Dave Young: … carrying it on top. But you’ve also got all the upholstery, maybe the dashboard, maybe the steering wheel that would be wrapped in leather and need some fine stitching. So there’s lots of things that you could still do that show off your skill and your dedication to this kind of quality. Stephen Semple: Right. They didn’t ask, “What do we need to do differently?” They asked, “Where does their craftsmanship still matter?” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s the question they asked. Where does our craftsmanship still matter? Dave Young: And they realized that’s the business they were in, was craftsmanship and making things well. Stephen Semple: This is an important distinction to keep in mind that comes later. So 1922, they added their first handbag basically when Émile’s wife, she was like, “I’d like a scaled down version of this thing that you put boots and saddles in.” Dave Young: Don’t really need to carry my boots, but … Stephen Semple: But travel was also expanding at this time, so the handbags started becoming a needed accessory. 1950s, they added their orange box. So they took probably … And I’m going to guess they probably took inspiration from Tiffany’s Blue Box, and they created this orange box. Now, here’s an important part of the company’s history. It’s 1978. And Jean-Louis Dumas, the great-great-great-grandson of Thierry has taken over the company. And the company was stagnating. They still had loyal customers, but not enough of them. And here’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Cut production costs by outsourcing production. Dave Young: Of course that’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Stephen Semple: How many times we heard that advice? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: But what was their DNA? Craftsmanship. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And, look, everybody will say, “Oh, you can outsource it, and you’ll still have the same quality.” He knew that to not to be true. He knew he would never be able to maintain quality the moment he did that. So how many companies would have resisted this? I don’t know of any others. I’m sure there’s others. But that was a big moment. And he said, “No, we’re not doing that.” Instead, what he decided to do was something that they rarely did, advertise. Dave Young: Yeah. Okay. Stephen Semple: But here’s what they did. They decide to advertise something different. It’s 1979. And they launched this campaign showing edgy, young … Remember, ’79. Edgy, young Parisian women wearing silk Hermès scarves, not in haute couture, wearing jeans. Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: Fits, but doesn’t fit. Picked a scarf. Expensive, but pretty much anybody could purchase. And all of a sudden, this accessory that made the jeans and everything look awesome. Where did you get that scarf? Dave Young: You could dress down, but people would still know. Stephen Semple: Bingo. Dave Young: I also think … I don’t know if this had a part in it or not, but that’s the era of Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Stephen Semple: Right. There you go. Dave Young: And so people had a fascination with this kind of thing there because of that show, right? That was always an interesting one to watch and to make fun of Robin Lynch, Leach, Robin Leach. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Leach. Yeah. So here’s the thing you could do. You could put on your jeans, you could put on a nice shirt, you could put on that scarf, and you’re looking like a Parisian model. They sold a crap ton of the scarfs. What they also knew is selling the scarves, people are now in their store, they’re going to see other things. Dave Young: Yeah. They’re going to start to want that bag. Stephen Semple: The advertising campaign was shocking. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Because it was just … Well, it was never done before. It was never this super high-end fashion going there. They were the first to do it. It was shocking, but changed the trajectory of the company. We could do a whole episode just on the scarves and the history of the handbags in terms of the things that they did for promoting it. But what I loved was he looked at it and he said, “There’s another option other than dropping production costs. What we need to do is we need to find new customers. How are we going to find new customers? We’re going to find new customers by reaching down, but we’re not going to reach down by making our products cheaper. We’re going to reach down by finding a product that if somebody really wants, they … Sure, $300, $400 scarf is crazy expensive, but can buy. And we’re going to make it glamorous. And, look, if we sell a whole pile of those scarves, we’re doing well.” Dave Young: So I may be wrong on this, but here’s what my Spidey-sense tells me. Who stole the idea of the DNA of the Hermès ads in the ’70s to repeat that thing where it’s, “We can make this expensive product desirable. And everybody will want it”? Stephen Semple: Ralph Lauren. Dave Young: Now I’m thinking iPods. Stephen Semple: Except he’s not expensive. Dave Young: I’m thinking iPod. The iPod. Stephen Semple: iPods. Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: Thousand songs in your pocket. And the ads were sort of this every person with the white cord and the AirPods. Stephen Semple: Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: But that’s the same notion, right? Stephen Semple: It is the same notion. Dave Young: This is the one little expensive thing that you can have and just make your life better. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Well, it’s that whole idea of an indulgence. Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Stephen Semple: Right? This is an indulgence. I can go and I can treat myself. I will feel better. It’s special. It’s all these other things. And it’s that moment where you’re sort of like … It’s that whole idea of it’s an indulgence. And they figured out how to stay true to what they do. They still make the super expensive stuff, but were able to reach down into more mainstream, which is where you need to be in order to be successful long term. Dave Young: Yeah. You just want the people to really want the one thing. This is a great story. And now I’m wondering what color of Hermès cravat would go well with my Walmart fishing shirt. But here’s the problem. Here’s the problem. Stephen Semple: There’s so many problems. Dave Young: No. No. Well, I don’t even know where one of their stores is. So that’s probably by design. They don’t want me to know where one of their stores is. Stephen Semple: Where they will be- Dave Young: I’d wander around and touch things. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Where they would be would be in, again, the really super high-end malls [inaudible 00:18:49]. Dave Young: If you find a Tiffany store, you’ve found the Hermès store. Stephen Semple: You have. You have. But it’s funny because anytime I’ve known about the company, I’ve never really researched it because it was not- Dave Young: I’ve seen the name before. I’ve seen the name. Wondered how you pronounced it until fairly recently. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And seen the name, know about it. Then I came across a few things. And then literally how I got interested in it, I was researching Tiffany’s, and there was a little book on Tiffany’s that had some information in it that I thought I could use for the Tiffany’s episode. I bought the book, and Amazon said, “Those who have bought that book have also bought-“ Dave Young: Also like. Yeah. Hermès. Stephen Semple: “… this book.” Right? So I was like, “Oh, what the heck? Let’s add that to the cart.” Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: So I added it to the cart. And then I started reading through it, and I was like, “Wow. This is actually a really interesting company.” Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So I sort of stumbled across it kind of by accident. Dave Young: What’s the scarf cost? It’s got to be less than the leather bag. Stephen Semple: Oh, yes. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: So … Stephen Semple: I’m going to guess they’re three, $400. Dave Young: Okay. I’m just saying for the guys out there, this is one of those sleeper gifts, right? Get her a scarf from Hermès. Stephen Semple: I just Googled it. Canadian. They run from $500 to 750 bucks. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. I’m not saying do that instead of jewelry or something, but that’s a nice one you didn’t think of. Stephen Semple: It’s a special thing. Dave Young: Yeah. And she’s going to know more about it than you probably. Stephen Semple: And I remember doing the research on it. I was looking at them. They are beautiful and they’re all hand rolled and they are actually pretty spectacular. Dave Young: Awesome. All right. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Stephen Semple: Let’s go with Hermès. That sounds great. Dave Young: Hermès. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Hermès. Dave Young: It doesn’t sound quite as- Stephen Semple: I actually think if we’re probably going to … I think if we’re going to really do it correctly, it’s Hermès, I bet you. It’s just like … That H is just like- Dave Young: Hermès. Hermès is a diner somewhere, but- Stephen Semple: Just poking it. Dave Young: Hermès. Thank you for bringing us the Hermès story to the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.
