 This Vietnamese woman just opened up the world's first sports bar that solely focuses on playing women's sports on the TVs. Guys, a lot of people on the internet are doubting it. However, let's talk about why it might just be a great idea. Yeah, this is going viral in a couple of circles on the internet right now. Andrew Jenny Wing used to play college basketball at Clark College in our home state of Washington, and she saw a gap in the market. She went to sports bar. She could find no women's representation on the sports screens. So she decided to open up the sports bra in Portland, Oregon, Andrew, and it's going viral right now because in her first year of business, she did a million dollars in revenue. Right. So already she is proving the doubters wrong. But I do want to talk about what a lot of people are saying. A lot of people are accusing it of being discriminatory. A lot of people obviously supported. Now we want to talk about it all. However, I do before we get into the comment section, I want to talk about why I think it's going to be a successful business. So please hit that like button. Check out other episodes of the hot pot boys. All right, Andrew, why is the sports bra in Portland, Oregon? We'll just pop up the Yelp page right here going to be successful. OK, so number one, when it comes to opening up a bar, every bar has its crowd, it has its tribe, it has its niche. OK, some bars are themed a certain way. A Knicks bar, Nets bar, a Seattle, a Portland Trailblazers bar. You know what I mean? Like bars have themes. Maybe they're focused around a certain sport more like we show all the hockey games. You know what I mean? Right. So I think that this bar is very specific in playing women's sports and they are going to find their crowd very, very quickly. And that is number one to running. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense. Like you said, you know, you got hockey bars, you got NBA bars, you got MLB bars, you got every single sport has their own bar, football, soccer, obviously, Buffalo Wild Wings tends to be more NFL centric. But they cover everything. Yeah, there's Asian bars, Mexican bars, Dominican bars, like, you know, Caribbean bars, whatever you want. So number two, women's sports, although still not viewed nearly as much as men's sports. We understand that. It's only 5% of the sports being shown on American TV are women's sports. Yeah. Women's sports in general, though, the past few years has gotten way more coverage and more interest. For example, this past NCAA women's basketball championship game, LSU versus Iowa, that broke the record for most viewerships of that women's championship game ever. Right. You're talking about the Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark thing. That was the first time where I saw people on TV really take it serious and debate it like it was just any other men's sport. Yes. And it helped that there were two big stars, you know, it sprinkled in a little race war in there, but we'll get into that later. But anyways, guys, there's a lot of women who play a lot of different sports. They could show UFC, they could show one championship fighting women, fight women, playing tennis, golf, like all these things. Like there's big women's sports stars in all these women's soccer. Right. Yeah. So I think that I think that niche, I think that market is growing. Also, the food looks delicious, guys. I looked through the Yelp and Google pages. I really looked into the food. The ribs look good. Those garlic chicken wings look delicious. The burger looks good. It's only $16 plus fries. It's not that bad. Yeah. No, it's true. And it is interesting that they didn't go full vegan. They have like half a vegan menu, but they, you know, it's still a sports bar. People play sports. They like some protein. Not to mention, guys, Portland, I do think is one of the best cities to open up this bar. Do I think that every city in America could sustain three of these bars? I don't know. Maybe not yet, like maybe in Philly or Boston, it wouldn't be as popular as it is in Portland, Seattle, SF. And who knows? It could spark a trend where like maybe the sports are like 30% or 40% of a bar right now. Did you know, Andrew, there are 15,000 registered sports bars in America. A lot of people estimate there's another 10,000 that are not officially listed as a sports bar. That means out of 25,000 sports bars in America, there is only one sports bra, which is women's only. So it goes to show you. All right, David, we got to get into the corn man section, or should I say calm man section? Yeah, somebody said it's going to fail. Yeah, it might have a hard start for the first year, but it's only going to last like two years and then it's just going to go down the drain. Nobody wants to see women's sports. Nobody wants to go to all women's sports bar. It's got a strong niche, man. I think this guy's wrong. Yeah. Are they going to rake in a revenue of like a million dollars every year? Maybe not. But I think this bar, it's not that large. So the rent is not that much, probably. And it's probably not that hard to pack it out. So I think it's got a really good chance. Why not? For sure. And it's already starting spin offs in Seattle and stuff like that. But it was the first one. So shout out to Jenny. When somebody said, isn't this discriminatory against man, though? Because the male sports bars, they don't say a male only. But then this sports bar, the sports bra, they're saying they're female only. Isn't it reverse sexist? I think you have to look at this from like the legal standpoint. And they do not discriminate against any type of customers. Men can go there. Fathers can go there. Bros could go there. Women could go. All types of people are welcomed at the sports bra, but it's just their theme is very specific. So compare it to a different theme bar, a hockey theme bar, walk into a hockey theme bar and ask them to turn on the NBA and see what they say. They will look at you like you asked them to put on. I don't even know what on the screen. They'll get you crazy. I'm saying like, so if you I've walked into bars just as an Asian guy and I felt out of place and I felt like I wasn't welcome, you know what I'm saying? So I guess bars just have their theme and they have to and they are they are in their own right able to stick to that theme. Now, if she's mean to male customers or mean to a group of bros that walks in there, that's a problem. That's not right. But I don't think they are or they have no stories yet. So, you know, I mean, listen, if it's one to 25,000, I mean, it's safe to say that one became default culture that all male sports bar, it's almost like par for course. People consider it the status quo to the point where they don't need to explicitly save their male only. But in the 20 year history of the thing, they played like one female's like Serena Williams. Listen, if you walk into a Boston Celtics theme bar and then you ask them to turn on the Brooklyn Nets game, they're also going to look at you like, come on, bro. What are you? What are you asking? Somebody said it's a good, unique concept, but ultimately the long term success is going to come down to the execution, the food, the drinks, the service and the management of overhead costs. Guys, let me tell you this. Jenny Nguyen is Vietnamese, so you know the food is going to be good. Guys, I know so many Vietnamese people will open up bars, whether it was an OC or even Seattle. You're talking about the small business hustlers of hustling. I'm telling you, Vietnamese fusion food or however they want to do it. The Nook Mom Wings, how they get sticky and sweet. And they didn't even put fire. They didn't even put button means on the menu yet. They didn't put Nook Mom Wings. They didn't even release the fire on the world yet. Trust me. This went into a whole discussion about women's sports in general. Someone said women don't even watch sports period. It doesn't matter if there's men playing, women playing. They only watch the men's sports when they're with their man or they're just doing it for the group event. And that's why women's sports fails. Quit trying to blame it on the men. Men is the biggest supporters of women's sports. Women just don't like sports period. I feel like this whole conversation really sparked up in the past year after Bill Burr's stand up comedy where he did call out women for not supporting the WMBA enough. But there's a lot of other women's sports that are supported by men and women. And there's obviously very big female sports stars, as we know. So what I'm saying is, yeah, maybe if this was a bar that was solely focused on one women's sports, like it was only like, I guess women's basketball, maybe that would be a little bit tougher of a sell for people. But since you can walk in and see a bunch of different women's sports, that's not a bad idea. I think that even though I will say that there is some truth to this in a macro aggregate sense, a sports bar doesn't need to exist for the macro societal metrics. It just needs to exist for its own crowd. It doesn't need to be for like, like we said, maybe one thousand of these women's only sports bars, it's starting to be like, you know, I don't know if there's a big enough market yet for it in 2023. But one in the world, certainly there's enough. We're talking about one bar in Portland right now. It works. It would only work in Portland, Seattle or SF. It is insane that I think this many people don't think that you can have one bar of a niche. Yeah, I don't know if people have ever been to Portland. It works. There could be three in Portland. Yeah, somebody said, man, I'm so sick of the identity wars, man. How come we got political civil wars, race wars, class wars? And now we got a gender war on top of it. I'm all worn out. It's not a war on men, man. I don't think this bar should be viewed as that way. And I think a lot of the guys commenting or commenting out of their gut reaction, their emotion, being like, Oh, this is good. They don't like men. Men, handers, men, haters. I think it's just emotional internet comments. I do not think these people, whatever, even like step foot in the city of Portland or the Northwest in general. Next time I go to Portland and this was this spots in downtown Portland area, like the Portland metro. I'm going to go visit the sports bra. I'm going to go there and I'm going to get the chicken wings for sure. Somebody said, yeah, man, they're going to collaborate with a lot of brands to because it's really something new in the society, a space that was clearly just lopsided only for men. So they're going to be doing collaborations with Nike, Buick, other large corporations that they like this message. Guys, like people don't just go to a sports bar just to watch sports all the time. And somebody said at the end of the day, there was also other identities layered on top of the fact that it's only for women's only since a lot of women's sports, particularly the WNBA is heavily associated with the LGBTIQ community. So it is a safe haven for feminism. The vegan community half the menu is vegan as well as other identities or dads who just want to take their daughters to feel empowered by women ownership, women owned breweries as well as the sports on the TV. Yeah, I think the only issue is like that it's not an issue yet. And I haven't heard any bad stories, but like I guess if there are stories of like them being like the toxic feminists and all that stuff in this bar, you're saying that any time there's like a bar that is going against the dominant culture, you just don't want to be mean to anybody from the dominant culture. They choose to visit the niche bar, minority bar. So obviously I'm sure everybody there is very nice, but they do have to keep maybe their other patrons in check so that there's not like some type of, you know, heated argument or or or altercation that happens in there. But because it is, but it doesn't seem like that type of sports bar, man. It's like really well lit. Like it's just not that serious. It shouldn't be that serious. Yeah. Yeah. No, for sure. I do not think that Jenny Nguyen is going to run a business like that. I will say though that sometimes even in other cities in it, when you go into really hipster places and they don't think that you're a hipster, sometimes I don't know. I don't know what's going on with guys. Bars are very tribal. Let me tell you this as an Asian guy who has walked in to just any regular sports bar in random cities. No, sometimes it felt uncomfortable. Sometimes as an Asian guy, the only way you're going to feel comfortable is if you're wearing the best, most expensive jersey of the team that the sports bar is supporting. Andrew, are we surprised that so many men on the internet came out against this? Obviously, you could just say their comments from somebody in like Podunk, wherever they're never even going to step foot in Portland. I was a little bit surprised that so many people were rooting for the sports bar to fail. Yeah, I think they were just leaving a comment. They're not attacking the Google page or the Yelp page. Obviously that is next level like ridiculous behavior. However, just that's their gut reaction on a lot of these Instagram pages that probably have primarily a male audience. But I guess I was a little bit surprised. I was a little bit surprised being like, dang, guys, y'all really want this to fail. This doesn't really affect you at all. But you know, I thought about it and we run a channel that a lot of people think is like niche or like about niche topics, even though the internet metrics are there for Asian American news or Asians in the West news. A lot of people feel like, oh, why don't you just talk about pop culture? Why don't you talk about conspiracy theories? Or why don't you talk about anything that's more mainstream? And I'm just like, hey, man, I'm covering a niche that like needs to get exposed. So shout out to Jenny Wayman. She saw a niche in the market. Other people are doubting her. The bank wouldn't give her a loan because it seemed like a risky concept on their books, you know, due to their however they analyze it. And, you know, I just support it because we've been doing risky ventures our whole lives to that a lot of people thought we're going to fail. So, Andrew, what about an Asian dominated sports bar? We're talking about Ping Pong, Sumo, Sepak, Tecraw, one championship fights instead of USC, because obviously USC is more Western. One championship is based in Singapore. It's more Asian, the Japanese baseball lead, the CBA instead of NBA. What do you think? Uh, I think it could work in a couple of cities too. And I think if it's not a gigantic Buffalo Wild Wings bar, you know, obviously that's a lot of costs and expenses to have. But I think it could work in a couple of cities because I do, even though a lot of those sports are pretty niche, like I think it would be cool to go watch one championship fights or like, you know, I don't know if I'd watch like a Kendo match. I'm not really interested in that. But like, you know, yeah, a lot of the Asian sports, uh, I don't know if they could even get the feed from like the sports feed. They might have to get it on from online. But yeah, I think that would work in a few cities. Indian cricket, that could be a big market, man. Let's do it, let's do it. Someone do it. At the end of the day, let us know what you think of this. I believe this is sparking the concept more. And even if it doesn't create only women's only sports bars around the country, I believe that more sports bars will begin to show women's sports. So Jenny, when shout out to you, go be successful, go make your family proud, um, continue expanding it because you started a movement. So shout out to her, man. Let us know what you think in the comment section below. Let us know. Are you for it? Uh, do you have this comment, that comment? Keep it civil until next time we'd hop up boys. We out. Peace.
