Recorded in early Spring 2025, I spoke with founders Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeff Franklin on meeting at Virginia Tech, starting out, their work process/philosophy, moving from New York to Los Angeles, + Pool, working with Virgil Abloh, and what their next chapter looks like as they celebrate an anniversary. 

It's the first episode, and I don't know what I'm doing. I talk about why I'm starting this (and why this isn't a Substack), explain the title (shoutout to Anton Newcombe and The Brian Jonestown Massacre), being in the mid-Hudson Valley during the winter, someone needs to check on the staff at New York Mag, why isn't there bar-chat etiquette, AI and Google Maps have gotten shockingly bad, the Milano Cortina opening ceremony, Nike's #eagleskirt, my issues with Ralph Lauren for Team USA / Ben Sherman for Team GB, and ideas for an epic LA 2028.

Intro / Pilot

I talk about where I'm at and why I'm starting this / How I have five months to completely change my life (especially my career and health) / I explain why there won't be guests / What I have to offer and the topics I will cover / Why this isn't a blog because Substack feels culty / I reveal the title origins (shoutout to Anton Newcombe and The Brian Jonestown Massacre) / And how you'll learn to never be someone like me
