Nike Is Cooked, OpenAI Buys a Podcast, and Kanye's Back | GCP Ep 999

This week on Group Chat, Zach White returns and the crew goes deep on Nike's earnings disaster and why the brand has become culturally irrelevant. From losing China to getting outpaced by Salomon and Arc'teryx, the guys break down what went wrong and whether the Swoosh can recover. OpenAI just acquired TBPN, a tech podcast, for a reported $200M+ after only 18 months. The crew breaks down why 70K viewers of the right people is worth more than millions of the wrong ones, and what it means for the future of media acquisitions. Kanye sold out two nights at SoFi for the first time in LA since 2019. 45 songs, Lauryn Hill, Travis Scott, and $18M on night one alone. Is cancel culture officially dead? The crew debates what it means when the most controversial artist in the world sells out the biggest venue in the city. Plus: the Artemis moon launch, the moon landing conspiracy debate (the crew votes), a GCP fan builds a SaaS product from a pod tip, Dee builds a baseball swing analyzer on a Duffy boat, and Venice is the new West Hollywood.
