Apocalypse Duds

Something we have long sought on this program is The Ear of The Teens. Well, folks, this week’s show sees The Teen Whisperer in our very studio, where he reports on various teen and non-teen phenomena:

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!

Hey all you Potterheads! A number of “Firsts” on this show, we’ll let you reveal just what they are. We talk to Hunter Sanders, writer, father, emergent dresser about lacrosse AND Harry Potter, We talk Oklahoma, What it’s like living as a weirdo in the midst of assholes, Problematic Bible Study, Certain Feelings of Obligation, Rural Life, Fantasy, Renn Faire, Breece D’J Pancake, At Long Last: Astrology Discussion, Robert Lowell, Ilya Kaminsky, Matrilineal Jewelry, and more

Back for seconds, Host of @styleanddirection, the outrageously well dressed and never stressed @ethanmwong the ‘M’ stands for Menswear. We cover some of our Old Chestnuts, Describe a Vibe Shift in Social Media, talk Aloha Shirts, The Most Famous White Hawaiian, Conor’s Bootleg Scarface thongs, Las Vegas, Bringing a Loafer to a Pool Party, Karaoke Standards, Cafes, IG Dumps, Shadowbans, Infomercials, and yet more….

We finally had a successful interview with our pals, John Weejawnz and Dan Weejawnz, overlords of the Weejawnz Discord and Instagram. We play Stud vs. Chud, Talk The Worst Part of Ivy Style, loafer variations, defining “local,” internet anonymity, trying to befriend dads in the daycare pickup line,  bucking the rules, A Blind Squirrel, A&F, Frat Astrology, Timeless Style, and an LL Bean Boat n Tote more...

This week, we improbably welcome Future Miss Canada, herself, a PhD who is not a Pretty Huge D***, yet another genius guest for our worthy audience, Dr. Cyana Madsen. Now, many of our guests have had labyrinthine CVs, resumes, slide decks, and more, but Dr. Madsen’s is so vast and impressive, you must see for yourself! We talked about clothing, history, ownership, Weird Al, Canada, the UK, America, “curatorial interruption,” and much more!

A bowtie race, Life in Hamburg, another perspective on American hip-hop's influence, German Humor, “Most Extreme Trousers,” “Foot Cleavage,” Morning Routine, Lederhosen, (cars), field hockey, The Fresh Prince, and more! 

John Tinseth, aka “The TRADINATOR” @thetrad came on our program, and just like that, another White Whale…unharmed. This program does not support whaling...but boy did we wail!!!

We had a great chat about language in clothing, regretting his chosen moniker, the life of a military brat, making immediate connections with like-minded people, encountering your heroes, and so much more!

“He’ll be back…” as a recurring guest…we hope…

And now, a show the algorithm will censor: we had a rambunctious conversation with author, activist, and auteur Barry W. Lynn. Though Barry arrived to the interview wearing head to toe Ed Hardy, surprisingly (or not) we didn’t talk about clothing very much at all!

Barry Lynn on going toe to toe with America’s worst people; the sins of our recent past (the Reagan admin, NAFTA, neoliberalism); his radicalizing moment; “process theology;" using existing frameworks to take down assholes, and a hog's head more!

A European Geography Lesson, How He Got Hooked On Clothing, Ancestral Influences, The Tragedy of Business Casual, Sweating Bullets Over Climate Change, Team No Undershirt, Visual Diary of Fit Pics, and more! 

On this week’s episode we had the pleasure of hosting Style and Direction’s @ethanmwong. What does the M stand for? Find out! We talked about his clothing origin story, how to dress when it’s hotter than hell, Inspector Gadget’s trench coat, gatekeeping, “Dapper Day” at Disneyland, cinematic dressing, life of a podcasting OG, being addicted to getting stuff done, and a whooole lot more.
