In today's take no prisoners Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton:

- Give their very early take on Amazon's new Amazon Style store.

- Lambast Walmart from the high heavens for its drone announcement this week.

- Laud Firework for its recent $150 million investment round, as it continues to push the boundaries and lead the way in livestream commerce.

- Question whether Wayfair chose the right brand with which to debut its latest physical store concept.

There's all that, plus pre-show fights, Pepsi in your pepperoni, and the pure testosterone that is Jon Hamm selling Yeti mugs.
