Club Cool

Barrett is back from five days in New York City where he explored Brookyn's Williamsburg neighborhood extensively, attended a Yankees vs. Astros playoff game, and took a day to visit his favorite shops in SoHo and Chinatown. Tune in to hear him tell Phil (back from a week hiatus) all about his adventures, including likes, dislikes, and A+ recommendations from the Cool Kids.

Washed Media's very own Will DeFries and David Ruff join Barrett on this spooky edition of Club Cool. After overwhelming demand to hear about Halloween costumes this week, the boys break down some of the best ones they've ever pulled off as well of some of their misses while also attempting to dole out some suggestions for getting a 'stume off in 2019. Next, the trio talk HBO's "Succession," highlighting the nattiest yacht style on display, lusting after sunglasses, and wondering why Kendall only wore brown. Last but not least, the dudes talk about when they are most likely to make spur-of-the-moment purchases and how it usually goes down.

Last week, Phil and Barrett discussed China's potentially growing influence on the fashion landscape, as the Chinese market was already heavily influencing the American entertainment industry. Shortly after recording, the exact topic came in to strong focus thanks to South Park and Houston Rockets GM, Daryl Morey. So, first, the boys touch base on those current events. After that, they give recaps of their favorite music and fashion from weekend 1 of the Austin City Limits music festival. Lastly, the duo breaks down some upcoming hot drops: Travis Scott AJ6s, Yeezy Boost 380 Aliens, and the Engineered Garments x Uniqlo fleece collection.

Barrett and Phil jump on the mics at the Earlybird CBD Studio to talk about Diplo's full commitment to Western get-ups. The discussion also gives kudos to Bradley Cooper's Jackson Maine character as well as Mark Wystrach of Midland for bringing the vintage-authentic country look back in vogue. The dudes then move on to some festival talk, as they get ready to attend ACL in just a couple of days. Unfortunately, dreamy Fest-Fits are all but squashed by the upper-90s high temps currently engulfing Austin. To wrap up, Barrett brings up the Chinese clothing brand Li Ning, made famous by Dwayne Wade's 2012 shoe deal. The brand just got picked up my high-end e-comm giant SSENSE, leading the boys to wonder whether more Chinese influence is on the horizon for your closet.

Phil and Barrett sit down in the stude for an episode of the poddy largely based around NFL talk. First though, the boys discuss the newly released trailer for the Safdie brothers film, "Uncut Gems," starring Adam Sandler in a serious role. Next, they take a brief moment to check in on their Fantasy Football teams before diving in to the NFL's most stylish players who are doing their best to rival the NBA's runway tunnel. Nods to Odell Beckham Jr, Deandre "Nuke" Hopkins, and Jamal Adams inspire conversations about Emily Ratajkowski, the new John Elliott x Caterpillar collaboration, and the optics of Cam Newton's press-conference attire. Lastly, the dudes give their thoughts on the best and worst NFL uniforms in 2019.

Today's pod is mostly a free-flowing grab bag of a conversation. With Barrett preoccupied with the Texas vs. LSU weekend, having to go see IT Chapter 2 as well as watch like 9 hours of TV for his other podcast, a full-on rundown slipped by the wayside. Instead, the boys throw together a few notes and links and chat for about forty minutes. Topics range from shirtless tailgate dudes to FJ40s but some special attention is paid to the style on HBO's succession, Todd Snyder taking over the J.Crew's Liquor Store location in NYC, and some of the hottest sneaker releases of the week.

Note: Today's sound might be a little wonky with Barrett's audio sounding slightly low after about five minutes. This is what happens when you try to be casual and hold your mike in your hand the whole time.

Back in the lab again, the Club Cool duo chats it up about College Football Gameday attire before discussing various trends and looks that they'd like to try this upcoming autumn, several of which are influenced by the most recent drop from brand 18 East. Lastly, Barrett and Phil take inspiration from Instagram user @meme_saint_laurent's "Style Evolution" post to discuss what fads, clothes, and brands signify the various eras of their own personal style evolutions, beginning with high school and ending with a look forward to their most aspirational and experimental fashion desires.

The doors to the Clubhouse swung open on today's pod from a new location, the EarlyBird CBD studio. This episode marks Club Cool's first under an official partnership with Washed Media, and Producer David Ruff is on the 1s and 2s to prove it. First up, the two commishes give a recap of some finer moments from their respective Live Draft weekends. Highlights include roasting "Guy Who Buys His Shirts Two Sizes Too Big" and all of the awful tattoos spotted at the Golden Nugget pool scene. Then, debating the merits of Darrell's sandwiches in LC spins in to discussion of the fried chicken sandwich rivalry that has currently taken over the internet. In the style-focused back half of the pod, the guys break down why the new ALD collection is so on point, question the resurgence of the waxed denim trend, and lampoon the Supreme burner phones before closing down the episode with some talk about Apple's entry in to the credit card game.

After a week off, Phil and Barrett are back in the stude bringing the heat. First, the two commishes discuss their upcoming weekend trips for their Fantasy Football Live Draft Weekends. Then, they jump into a Pop Culture Minute to try and put on a bow on the A$AP Rocky Sweden Saga as well as discuss the Miley Cyrus-Liam Hemsworth split and whether or not celeb breakups are even all that difficult for the parties involved. Barrett also explains to Phil how Bachelorette contestant Tyler C. has broken through the glass ceiling of Bachelor Nation and is now dating supermodel Gigi Hadid. Next, Barrett and Phil talk about Barneys filing for Bankruptcy before capping off the episode with some random style notes including the return of #BigPlaidCoats, the wave of grey denim, the momentum of Chuck Taylor Hi Tops, and a very important decision about Polo Bear.

This week's edition of Club Cool is brought to you entirely ad free, allowing plenty of time for Barrett and Phil to shoot the breeze. Initial topics of conversation include joining Equinox like a bougie a-hole, Barrett's big W on a pair of Rhude's new Vans sneaker collab, and the Aimé Leon Dore sale that had all the Cool Kids going hiking. After story time, the dudes introduce a new segment called "Old Trend New Trend" where they discuss a couple of old trends plus a new one or two as well. Iceberg, FUBU, and JNCO all get some love in the Old Trend department before the boys decide if they're in or out on neck wallets. Finally, it's time for some TV talk. Phil pitches everybody on HBO's "Years & Years" and Barrett gets to drop some thoughts on the conclusion to Hannah's season of "The Bachelorette."
