Hi, I'm Richard Karn and you may have seen me on TV talking about the world's number one expandable garden hose. Well, the brand new pocket hose Copperhead with Pocket Pivot is here and it's a total game changer.

When you're all done, this rust proof anti burst hose shrinks back down to pocket size for effortless handling and tidy storage. Plus your super light and ultra durable pocket hose Copperhead is backed with a 10 year warranty. What could be better than that? I'll tell you what an exciting exclusive offer just for you for a limited time. You can get a free pocket pivot and their 10 pattern sprayer with the purchase of any size Copperhead hose. Just text water to 64,000. That's water to 64,000. For your two free gifts with purchase W A T E R to 64,000 by texting 64,000.

The tops of my feet. Oh, they're still stretching them out. I was wearing them. No socks. I got high pointy ridges. So.

No, no, I mean, I was wearing them to. I think I wore them to dinner and then, like, had to, like, change before going out. Like. Like a woman, but hopefully break them in in time for Paris.

[Lawrence]

You know what you needed? Some slouch socks, dude. Then you'll have that layer of protection. You'd be good to go. Just thought. Yeah, okay.

[James Harris]

I'm not telling you.

[Lawrence]

It's not someone I know.

[James Harris]

No.

[Lawrence]

Oh, okay. I thought maybe it was like Ash or someone that.

[James Harris]

No. Why would they say that to me?

[Lawrence]

I don't know. Why did this person say it's you?

[James Harris]

Because they're like, yo, I saw Lawrence at Jeans.

[Lawrence]

Lol. I'm like, oh, I will say this.

[James Harris]

I thought you were clubbing. I thought you were clubbing.

[Lawrence]

I know. No, no, I was at the restaurant. I know the club. The reason we didn't club is the. The club open at 1am so we're like, okay.

[James Harris]

And you're with wifey.

[Lawrence]

Yes. I'll say this about jeans because I know it's like a club surround. Even though club sounds are having the moment or having a moment, I'm always really blown away at how good the food. Food is good. It's really good. I got the. The French dip. It was phenomenal when I saw Ash saying this, but he was like, happy that you could make it to Gay Hillstone, I think is what he called Jesus.

[James Harris]

All right.

The hat is the Aries Archive Rizoli, like merch hat. I guess that came with the. The book that came out. I. I always forget. I mean, I really like the hat. Shout out our friends at Aries. Shout out Andy, people. I forget when you wear a hat that just is a zodiac sign. Even though it's like a brand and the R is the resulting logo. People are going to be like, oh, are you an Aries? And that happened to me at the Todd Snyder Sperry dinner. The photographer is like, oh, you and Aries. And I'm like, I actually am.

[James Harris]

So actually, bro, it's a 20 year old streetwear brand.

[Lawrence]

Well, no, I didn't say that. I just. It is extra embarrassing, I guess as an Aries myself. Whereas like if I was a Gemini or a Scorpio would be less bad. Oh no, it's a brand. But I have to say it's like.

[James Harris]

Wearing a T shirt. Know the band Te the star Te to the supernova.

[Lawrence]

Or. Or like wearing your your own face on a T shirt to your birthday party.
