Dear listener, if you are looking for some respite from the horrors of Modern America, this episode will be of no use to you. Do you despise billionaires? Have you wondered why our “opposition party” is so cowardly? Are you alarmed just how ridiculous national politics can be? Then do we have an urgent and prescient program for you. We’re joined once more by The Reverend Barry Lynn (who had the audacity to ask to appear on our program once more) to talk about what the hell is going on.

Hear the tale of a century of family history all under one roof. Giuseppe Timore @an.affordable.wardrobe takes our call in his living room, in the house he grew up in, and remembers his grandparents working closely with clothing. Was his interest in clothing predestined? Well, this week, discover, dear listeners. GT describes his lifelong obsession with clothing, and shares some of the wisdom he’s collected along the way.

A (Relatively) Long Time Ago, From a Coast Far Far Away…we introduce a fashion insider like no other: Eli Porkka, straight outta Bellevue, Washington, Reddit Rizz Rustler, video guy, photo guy, once Hollywood guy. We talk Seattle, LA, Milsurp, Ivy Style, Workwear, “Colorful White Person Streetwear,” film, Online/Offline Clothing Discourse, “Show Blacks,” Creating Creative Writing, Stand-Up Comedy, College, and way, way, more.

Where on earth do we host this thing?

NIGH UNDETECTED CRYPTID "SKUNKAPE" UNLEASHED IN THE STUDIO! 

We’re joined by someone possibly more neurotic than us: professor, artist, musician, Greek, Chronicler of Charles Entertainment Cheese, Weezer Geezer, video goon and guru, and many other accolades, not least of which, the logo for this very program! 

So, as I know you've wondered, "What towering genius devised your show's incisive yet poignant logo?"  I’ll tell you, the one, the only, Leonidas Dezes 

Christmas, capitalism, clothes, co-habitation, children, and other c-and-non-c-words, we are joined by perennial padre, writer,  Renato Pagnani.

We talk dad, dog, daughter dynamics, sleeveless cardigans, Spotify’s ever questionable ethics, enshittification on the internet and elsewhere, writing, work, and each of our top 5 records of the year.

We apologize for the delay, but we needed time to bring you a special episode. Normally, our guests are Titans of Industry, Fashion Gods, and Scions of Style. But, today, we bring you a story of how to find yourself through clothing. Even how to develop style as an outsider, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, on a chicken farm. We welcome our proto-intern, Zach Smith to The Bunker, as we contemplate early HBO TV, Growing Up On The Internet in the 90s, The Unexpected Influence of “Concert Dress,” Hip-Hop’s Indelible Influence on Prep and Ivy Style through Andre 3000 and Kanye West (RIP). We Return to the Trenches of High School, The Inception of the Blogosphere.

We introduce the Camo Bracket, compare favorites, talk about being a collector, old Banana Republic catalogs, Supreme hats, military surplus, Christian Bale in fatigue pants, Kei trucks, New York, and much more!
