Episode Overview

In this lively Patreon bonus episode, hosts James and Ian celebrate the relaunch of their midweek "Boys Only" podcast—a special treat for their Patreon supporters. They riff on the grind of cranking out multiple episodes a week, break down their current fits (outfits), and swap stories about highbrow fashion, unexpected connections on flights, and the wild tales from the new Charlie Sheen docu-series. The tone is irreverent, self-deprecating, and loaded with on-the-fly banter and inside jokes.

[Ian]

The shoes are. Oh, man. Between pods, I went to got a coffee and then I just did.

[James]

Just disappear. He took a stroll not that we were doing anything.

[Ian]

Yeah, I had a phone call and then I just walked in the Chad Senzel store.

[James]

Oh, nice.

[Ian]

Because honestly, I was like, yo, should I just buy something to, like, switch.

[James]

Up the fit that didn't just leave me high and dry? I mean, we do have all this beautiful stuff.

[Ian]

Yeah. But I was like. I was like, yo, would that be a. A mid pod day fit switch?

[James]

I mean, did you see anything?

[Ian]

Has anyone ever done that before? Would that be a first timer?

[James]

I don't. In the history of the world, history.

[Ian]

Of fits and podcasts, I don't know.

[James]

Was there anything that tickled your fancy at Chad's Emporium?

[Ian]

Unfortunately, I ran out of time. But when I walked in there to, like, really shop. But when I walked in there and then we got into the finer, gotten to a bunch of talk about he press versus, like, screen printing. And I'm like. And then, like, black T shirts. Why he and I. Why? I don't like to wear black T shirts.

[James]

Why?

[Ian]

Don't you want to get too hot? And he also does wear.

[James]

Even if they're paper thin.

[Ian]

Even if they're paper fucking thin, boy. Chad's the same thing. He's like, yeah, I don't wear black T shirts either, but it's more that Black Tees matter. Nice title. I hope we're behind the Paywall.

[James]

No.

[Ian]

Want to Get Too Hot. And then I had a theory. I was like, yo, I think that every graphic on Black Tea is, like, more, like, stickier and, like, heavier. He's like, that's absolutely not true. Yeah, he took me over, like, a bunch of white tees, and he's like, look, field under here. That's all plastic.

[James]

But also I think graphics pop harder on black TE's, which is why I feel like a lot of band TE's are black TE's.

[Ian]

But I think that a lot of people. And I was. Had to say this quietly because there was another dude in the store wearing a black tea. I was like. I was like, I feel like it's just. People just have it as a default.

[James]

It. It's more forgiving. That's what it is.

[Ian]

It's more forgiving. It's. It's slimming. Right? But I think a lot of people equate, you know, all black or like, having, like, black components of your fit as, like, stylish and chic, which was invented by Barney's in the 80s, okay. The all black, like, New York uniform. I think a lot of people moved to York and like, oh, Like, I'm just gonna wear all. I wear all black now. That's my thing.

[James]

It's like a Parisian thing, too.

[Ian]

I think it's more of a New.

[James]

York thing, or maybe just a. Maybe I'm just metropolitan, but I get.

[Ian]

More fashion, which I agree, it works if it's contrasting textiles and textures and materials.

[James]

Absolutely.

[Ian]

But if you're just wearing, like, black jeans and black shirt, to me, you just kind of look like. Like a roadie.

[James]

You're a fake ass. Or you're like a fake ass art director guy.

[Ian]

Yeah. So I didn't buy anything. Oh. He was like, are those shoes, Stacy Adams?

[James]

Yes.

[Ian]

I got my ass, Chad. You're uninvited to our dinner.

[James]

They're. They're Sweden Adams.

[Ian]

Yes, they are our legache. My most unknown shoes of what is a pretty unky lineup. Not gonna lie. The socks are Grace Uncle. Yes, I am. Yeah. Not stolen valor.

[James]

Oh, did you just Real quick, did. Was it your brother on Rob's flight? Did you. Did he talk to you? Yes. Yeah. That's so funny.

[Ian]

No, my brother texted me. He's like, yo, I think the guy that cut my hair before my wedding, because I got him an emergency snip at Mildred. He goes, I think the guy that.

[James]

Pregnancy circumcision on the night before your wedding.

[Ian]

The guy that cut my hair before my wedding, Paul is on my flight. And I was like, no, I'm pretty sure he's in New York City. He's like, at his kid's soccer game right now. But then I went to Mildred yesterday. We both got haircuts yesterday. And Rob was like, yo, I think your. Your brother. Is he, like. Was he. Is he a Delta One guy? And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, yeah, he. We were. We, like, clocked each other. And then he's like, sure, you guys kind of look like each other, but your mannerisms are so similar.

[James]

That's what he said. He said. What he said to me was mannerisms. He said, he's Ian, he said, was very handsome. And I was like, this checks out. But I. It's funny he said the Delta One thing, because I asked Rob, I'll be like, well, here's the thing. You think it was James's brother. But I was like, were you in business? He's like, we were both in Delta 1. I'm like, that's Ian for sure.

[Ian]

Yeah, he got upgraded, Rob. Robin said he got upgraded. Or he was, you know, playing the Midwestern humble card.

[James]

Good things happen to good people.

[Ian]

But yeah, so I think Rob must have met my nephew because apparently he was running up and down the aisles just like really meeting everyone. Yeah.

[James]

Ruining everyone's Delta 1 experience.

[Ian]

Think it was like a fun baby moment. Not like on flight moment. Right.

[James]

According. According to.

[Ian]

It exists when it's my nephew, bro.

[James]

I was say, do they.

[Ian]

If it's my nephew, it's a fun moment.

[James]

Yeah.

[Ian]

Anyone's a baby that baby. But it's my nephew.

[James]

So it's good. It's Val. He's valid.

[Ian]

Valid. It's valid. No, he knew it's only my nephew.

[James]

Is valid in Delta 1.

[Ian]

My nephew had to check in with Rob. He really.

[James]

And say what up?

[Ian]

Yeah, and say what up?

[James]

Damn. Shout out.

[Ian]

Anyway.

[James]

Shout out, nephew. Shout Delta one.

[Ian]

Shout Rob, shout. Ian cleared it up. We cleared it up.

[James]

That's really funny. They're coming from Rome, right? Or some. Yeah, sick.

[Ian]

What are you talking about?

[James]

You were doing your fit check. We're talking about Chad and.

[Ian]

Yeah. So Chad. Yeah, Shout out Chad. I was like, yo, you're uninvited from dinner. Just kidding. Please come. You're awesome. The jeans are vintage Gap relaxed.

[James]

The relaxed fit.

[Ian]

Yes.

[James]

Because I looked at your butthole on a previous podcast.

[Ian]

That is where the tag is.

[James]

It really is. Yeah. It's weird because it's in his for.

[Ian]

Some reason way in there. Yo, I saw something crazy. So the Charlie Sheen docu series is out. I really want to watch it.

[James]

What?

[Ian]

Streamer, Netflix. Okay. And apparently at the height of his like drug addled addiction. Well, actually, no, not at the height because the height was like tiger blood.

[James]

Yeah.

[Ian]

I think like at the height of his being fucked up while acting, he was nodding out so badly on set that the director was like, I forget what movie was, but it's like, it's like a movie that like we've seen money shocks. No, that was early in his career. Right.

[James]

That's a banger.

[Ian]

Yeah. I don't know what this was anyway, but she's nodding off, he's nodding off. So he's like, I gotta say wake, I gotta swake. I've been awake for like eight days. Or I was on heroin, I don't know. And he went to the bathroom and put an ice cube up his ass.

[James]

Wow. Does that work?

[Ian]

That? Do you want to find out? How you feeling?

[James]

An ice cold suppository.

[Ian]

Exactly. To like keep it. He's like, I'm up. I'm up.

[James]

Mean. Okay, listen, I'm not a doctor, but there's got to be a Better way. Have you ever. I don't know, wouldn't he just do cocaine? I. I maybe put the cocaine in your ass. The cocaine suppository is probably a better look than the. Maybe it wasn't a. Maybe he did it all. You know, that's. That is hilarious. Yeah. Wait, so he has a show out and then he also put out a memoir, so it's all like Charlie Sheen. Because the memoir is when he talks about his gay experiences. That made headlines.

[Ian]

I think that was also in the docu series.

[James]

Oh, maybe it's all coming from that then. I gotta watch this.

[Ian]

Yeah, it sounds.

[James]

I thought he was dead. Really? Yeah. I had to go when I saw the headlines about him, you know, messing around on the spectrum of sexuality. I.

[James]

Super cool.

[Ian]

He's like, I've. I've slayed all trim in Hollywood, so like, why not, you know, see what.

[James]

Else is going on, get some bussy in the mix. Yeah, I just had. But I had to Google. I'm like, wait, he's alive and. And kicking and making docu series.

[Ian]

First of all, he's only 60 years old.

[James]

Yeah, but he's lived so hard.

[Ian]

Yeah. Okay, so he. It was during Free Money. You know that movie?

[James]

No. Okay, wait, so not money talks, but.

[Ian]

Free Money sequel loves money.

[James]

I mean, honestly, that's why he did him.

[Ian]

You know, he goes, I've never done that before.

[James]

That's. I've never. Free Money.

[Ian]

I was awake just enough to get back on the market. Finish the bucket scene with an ice cube in my ass.

[James]

Wow.

[James]

18 hours.

[Ian]

18 hour. That's a lot of blood.

[James]

That's a lot of time spent not doing coke because that's gushing from the nose.

[Ian]

That's an. Yeah, his nose looking like this movie looks like. Yeah. Shocker.

[James]

Yo Stars Marlon Brando in his penultimate film and Charlie Sheen. Oh, wow. Crazy, weird, weird Canadian movie. So it's probably bad.
