D (2:31)

Oh yeah. I'm keeping it chic in 2026 at least on the second of the year I had these. I got these shoes for free f like maybe five years ago.

C (2:42)

So how you re gift them to yourself?

D (2:44)

I immediately sold them and I had regretted it ever since.

C (2:48)

Didn't realize it was going to be a trend. The 2016 trend cycle is going to come back five years later.

D (2:53)

I figured that this might require some litigation so I. I will say I was thinking about this. I had mid mid Top Margiela Gats 10 years ago Sick so not okay new to this. True to this.

Well I'll tell you what I got my fucking father in law. I don't know if you got the notification. He got a throwing fits blue chip shirt.

C (4:07)

Oh nice. Does he like it?

D (4:09)

So we he probably. He's like he's really fit and he's never going to die.

C (4:14)

Did he wear it from the boardroom to the bar?

D (4:15)

He's retired. He wore it from the recliner to the backyard. Got him a medium because the small sold out. And I was like he's probably between sizes. So his review was yeah, it's a little big. And what did we get my mother in law? I forget. I don't remember.

C (4:36)

Damn. I'm sure you had a lot of input into that.

D (4:39)

Exactly. The the underwear is supreme Haynes boxer breed.

C (4:43)

D (4:48)

Yeah, all right. I. I paid. I paid for it.

C (4:51)

D (4:54)

I mean, that just. It just worked out that way. I would have bought it full price.

C (4:57)

Well, my first bro fits 20% off. Click.

D (5:00)

First order of business was coming to the office, see if there's any samples that I can take for free. There was not. Second order of business was buy our own shirt on sale. All right. Um, which, by the way, if you want to look like my father in law.

D (5:15)

C (5:18)

D (5:19)

Anyway, and then I think, oh, yeah, I got my Kieran Ichiban coat. Oh, the big coat is from the.

C (5:26)

Original collab of the year nominee.

D (5:28)

Collab with your nominee. This actually, this iteration. The first our legacy workshop Emporio Armani collab, I believe, was the winner two years ago.

C (5:38)

Two years ago.

D (5:38)

Yeah, it is. Yeah. It's a. It's an overcoat from that collection. And I think. And yeah, I got my Kieran Ichimon for drinking a little bit later to celebrate being back in the saddle again.

C (5:49)

James, what about your sunglasses?

D (5:52)

Oh, somebody's obvious.

C (5:53)

Obviously sick. I'm wearing our legacy side quest boots. These socks are made.

D (5:59)

Wait, they're called side quest.

C (6:00)

Side quest? Yeah. Your side quest for your main. No, wait. Maybe just a quest for a side quest for your main quest. They're just quest boot. I. I dubbed them the side.

D (6:07)

Right, right. They're honestly perfect for, like, doing some rugged side quests and main quests. Yeah, true, true, true, true.

C (6:13)

The socks are man Risa. The he tech is Uniqlo. The jeans are pen. Brand of the year nominee.

D (6:21)

Yes.

C (6:22)

The T shirt underneath is our legacy workshop. The sweater on top is vintage Barneys, courtesy of Soara, Shout Out, Kathleen and the whole team.

D (6:30)

I have a question for you real quick. I don't know if we've ever asked this of ourselves with audience. When it comes to brand of the year, our legacy, that includes Workshop. Right. I guess we're specific with the collabs, and all the collabs are through Workshop. But when it comes to brand of the year, workshop would fall under the umbrella. Or does it need to be its own brand moving forward?

C (6:52)

I don't know.

D (6:53)

Like, something to think about the next 300. What's another four days of the year?

C (6:56)

What's a correlation? Like some. Like something with Ralph?

D (6:59)

Well, maybe. Or I'm thinking, like not to. It's like mainline Armani and Porio Armani. Different brand.

C (7:05)

That's different. What about like Stone island and then Stone island, like Shadow Project Marina doesn't exist.

D (7:10)

Marina.

C (7:10)

What do they have now?

D (7:11)

Yeah, Marina.

C (7:12)

Eh, I think it's.

D (7:13)

It's all.

C (7:14)

It's all encompassing.

D (7:14)

Well, first of all.

C (7:15)

Encompassing.

D (7:15)

First of all, wake me when Stone island makes bread of the year list. Oh, damn N. Shout out to Badgman. We love you guys, but you know, we are gogglesman on this pod.

C (7:24)

First and foremost, the sweater is Barney's co op from Sorbara's potential vintage cop of the year. For me personally, a linen blend. And then the hat is a piece I picked up in Sydney with the homie Derek Gee from a Korean brand called 999Humanity Fire. Which I was like, what is this? Like, it's a Korean brand. Like it's. It's great. And I guess this feels like there's some like, synergy just, you know, being in the eastern hemisphere, in Oceania. What synergy between Korea and Australia going on right now?

D (7:53)

What's the graphic?

C (7:54)

I don't know. It's like three like dandelions kind of.

D (7:57)

You know what it reminds me of?

E (7:58)

What?

D (7:58)

Denim tears.

C (7:59)

Oh, shit.

D (8:00)

My man.

C (8:01)

Really?

D (8:02)

My man's rock. The denim tears dead hat.

E (8:03)

All right.

D (8:04)

It's kind of like the wreath, you know, I mean, not. Yeah, look.

C (8:07)

Look at commentary on slavery that I'm wearing.

D (8:09)

Come on. I mean, listen, it's your hat.

C (8:10)

Come on. It's early. Too early in the year for that. The sunglasses are egg house lotta. The big ass coat is cheapy company Boxer Hanes. Emily Don Long necklace.

D (8:20)

Brandy. Your nominee.

C (8:20)

Vintage Gil Saunder Kieran Vita Roasters. Lawyer side's finest. All right, let's get into the 2025 50s. The votes have been calculated, tabulated. There was some voter fraud that we just stamp out with the quickness. We stopped the steal.

D (8:36)

Is there any. Can you do voter fraud? I mean.

C (8:39)

No, no.

D (8:40)

I was going to say this the way we set it up, it's ripe for voter fraud.

C (8:43)

D (9:18)

C (9:19)

Okay.

D (9:19)

Well, yeah, I think so. They don't do a Runway.

C (9:22)

It's not like an esteemed house famous.

D (9:23)

Wait, famously, do they? They do a lookbook, not a Runway show.

C (9:27)

They do it on my show. But no phones.

D (9:28)

Oh, they do.

C (9:29)

Okay. They hand out. They handled Okinawan sweet potatoes, I believe was the longevity food provided at this year's Runway show.
