  • The Hump! Podcast Ep. 6: Cargo Shorts – The Walking Man Purse
    Welcome to The Hump! Podcast .... In episode 6 of The Hump! Podcast: Cargo Shorts — The Walking Man Purse ....  hosts Brent Bowen and Chad Beland live out the great cargo short debate?

    Brent breaks out his favorite pair of cargo shorts for this episode. He proclaims them the single greatest fashion item a man can own. Chad on the other hand, dons fashion glasses and an infinity scarf -- not quite sure he was aware they would be chatting Infinity War.

     So ... are cargo shorts the best invention ever or the most abhorrent fashion item and every pair should be burned?

    But before declaring their love for cargo shorts, the fellas ...

    Sample from Beer/Brewery of the Week ... Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA (with bits of real scorpion in it) out of California.

    ... not to be confused with Keystone, as Chad mentions on the show.

    The fellas are getting there with old KC Tap Tour? Both of the guys (and THE WIVES) head out for a Sunday of the KC Tap Tour Season 2 "catch-up" consumption plan. And in the process, they enjoyed some not-so-serious bluegrass music from The Matchsellers at Stockyards Brewing Company.
    Brent lauds the efficiency of the planning and friendliness of the volunteers at the Johnson County Recycling Extravaganza!


    And geek on what are they looking forward to this week? 

    A vision of seeing AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR multiple times!
    And loving the contributions to Brent and Becca's Up Next! series ...



    This Week's Topic — Cargo Shorts ... The Walking Man Purse

    In the guys most Seinfeldesque episodes … the fellas take on the topic of Men's fashion -- specifically cargo shorts. In this The Hump! episode, the boy's address:

    What's wrong with cargo shorts? Really? Are cargo shorts out of style in 2018?
    Why cargo shorts are the best?
    Who wears cargo shorts?
    When cargo shorts are cool?
    And ... what happens when you don't wear your cargo shorts? A certain someone (who gave up his cargo shorts on his wife's behest) lost his wallet in the studio. Why … on earth … did you get rid of YOURS, Chad?


    And what happens, when they expand beyond cargo shorts ... they discuss ...

    What’s the go-to spring/summer gear …
    How often during the year does Chad REALLY use his flip-flop bottle opener?
    How else has their wives decided to help you with their wardrobe? And what’s the worst outcome that has come from that situation?

    That’s what I’ve been sitting here contemplating. First, I’m gonna deliver this case to Marsellus. Then, basically, I’m gonna walk the earth.
