Matty is a pretty funny/intelligent dude who at different times in his life get hyper focused on all kinds of different hobbies.

I would watch a Matty Rain Podcast about guitars, bikes, social commentary, Rubix Cube, bitches, shitty bosses and degenerate friends.

his rubix hobby might be end of civilization though.

Some of the new bikes have arrived at the warehouse, finally. I should be getting 5 new demos next week. That's a big relief.

The most high-profile bike is still nowhere in sight though. My boss's boss (the owner) is fokkin' livid. He wired 7 digits to the manufacturer and we were originally supposed to get the bikes in April. I'm starting to believe that they'll never come.

Damn, your boss's boss has a local rep there or it's some FOB type shipping order?
 
FOB

It's a hot new product that hasn't launched in North America yet. I suspect that the manufacturer is stalling because of the uncertainty around Trump/tariffs. They probably want to launch in the US in Canada all at once.

That’s a hefty mark up!

We're the distributor. My boss actually keeps a smaller margin than most because he's just getting started. His gross margin is 25% on the aforementioned bike. The dealer gets 35% if they manage to sell at full retail.

My boss's net margins are tiny. He's not getting rich off of selling bikes. No one is. It's a dumb industry to be in, especially in Canada.
