I have expended too much thought on trying to figure out what on earth he's saying, and my best guess is that Carlson is an Ivy League rich boy who has never bought bargain clothes, while Mayo Pete is a man of the people who knows where the poors shop.

It's like he's reading from a positioning chart in some marketing deck for a budget online clothing brand. Maybe it's just because I'm not American, but it doesn't feel like something anyone would actually think.

Even his 'relatable' schtick feels like a McKinsey report on retail trends.
