What's the connection between a high school locker room and a classic Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance? We explore this hilariously in our latest episode, where we dive nose-first into the intriguing world of colognes, especially focusing on La Male Le Beau. Alongside a nostalgic nod to "Last Action Hero" and caffeine-fuelled discussions courtesy of Starbucks espresso, we're surprised by how much love our La Male episodes get, even outshining our talks about Aventus. We also ponder if Paco Rabanne's Million Gold, with its sweet and soft notes, suits our personal style or if it merely mirrors Santel 33.

And today we're smelling Lamal,laboe, yeah.
Ryan (01:12):
Came out in 2019.
We thought we were picking upthe latest one, but it's this
one.
Myke (01:16):
Yeah, sickhead on Fragrantica says Horror
flashbacks to high school gymclass, the locker rooms and
taking breaths that consist ofmore aerosol deodorant than air.
Ryan (01:27):
not sure I'd trust anyone over the age of 16 willing to
wear this were you, uh, gettinghung up on the breasts and
trying to say breast orsomething?
Myke (01:36):
no, it was this long fucking high school gym class
locker rooms.
That's like that's a tonguetwister High horror.
Flashbacks to high school gymclass locker rooms.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Ryan (01:48):
Horror flashback to high school horror film Jack of films
.
Myke (01:52):
Yeah, why wouldn't you just say high school locker
rooms?
Ryan (01:55):
Can you even say it?
I'll say it one more time.
High school gym class lockerrooms.
Myke (01:59):
High school gym class locker rooms high rooms, high
school gym class, soccer rooms.
Yeah, why is it that?
And taking breaths that consistof more aerosol deodorant than
air?
Who is constructing?
Well, sick head constructing?
Ryan (02:10):
these sentences make it so difficult to read you know
which tongue tongue twister Ican do, and it's only because I
love the movie last action hero.
Myke (02:18):
Was it woody?
Ryan (02:19):
woody wood chuck chucker likes to fucking chuck woody
woods no, because remember, helike, uh, the kid Danny Madigan,
he can like predict everythingbecause he's from the real world
.
He's been watching all the JackSlater movies yeah, he's in the
3D realm and then, like, he'slike kind of cutting Arnold
Schwarzenegger off every once ina while telling him what he
like you know he says, and thenArnold turns to him, he goes
(02:39):
rubber, baby, rubber, baby,buggy bumpers.
You know he's like you wouldn'tthink I'd say that.
So I like practice that a lotwhen I was younger and I still
fucked it up, but still Cool.
Myke (02:52):
Man, that's badass right.
Ryan (02:56):
Mike's doing his thing, okay.
Okay, if it sounds like we'vegot a lot of energy, it's
because the very next day and Ihad a mocha, uh, double shot
espresso from starbucks the cansure did?
Myke (03:09):
I had a caramel, and which did you caramel?
What?
Ryan (03:12):
did you discover?
Let them know what you discovertoday.
Myke (03:14):
Reading the back of that fucking can there's 12 grams of
protein in those bad boys.
Isn't that wild?
That's more than I thought.
More than a cup of milk.
Ryan (03:23):
Before we stroke on LeBeau today, we need a stroke off on.
Myke (03:29):
Million Gold by.
Ryan (03:31):
Raban Hit the music, Todd yeah.
Myke (03:37):
One night stand review.
Well, Ryan, after spending thenight with Sir Paco Rabanne and
smelling millions and millionsof gold, what do you think?
Ryan (03:50):
Well, he's dead, so I didn't spend time with Paco
Rabanne.
Myke (03:53):
Well, it depends, do you know, a soothsayer, a
necromancer.
Ryan (04:00):
I do not.
But I will say this I stand bywhat I said in the last episode,
which is that it smells reallygood, impressively good.
We put it in our heads.
It does smell very kind ofsimilar to Santel 33.
It has a hint of it, a hint,yeah, but it's a lot sweeter,
it's a lot softer, it's balancedjust right.
(04:21):
It's not for me, but that doesnot mean it's bad.
It's really good.
It's just not my style.
But mike threw it on and wewent out to town afterwards.
Yeah, I actually went to dollargeneral.
If I'm just being real with youguys, that's town to us and
just so you know, to show youhow small town our dollar
general is, they have like ahuge fucking bucket sitting
outside with just like fivepounds of dog food in there for
(04:43):
some stray dog in the area.
Myke (04:49):
Yeah, it's a cute dog.
It actually looks like Ryan andI have a dog that looks very
similar to each other, likethey're from the same family.
It might be their dad.
It's an older dog, I think soyeah, but long story short.
Ryan (04:57):
on the way there he smelled amazing because he laced
up with it.
I got in the car before him andthe whole car smelled like it.
Yeah, I got here to the studiobefore him and the whole studio
smelled like it.
Myke (05:07):
Yeah, the problem is after lunch it kind of faded.
It's not one that's going tohang on for a while, but hey, if
you can get a good discount onit, then spray the hell out of
it.
It smells good.
Ryan (05:18):
I think if it was a little bit cheaper, I think this is a
safe buy for people.
I agree is a safe buy forpeople, I agree.
Okay, so is that it we donewith that?
Myke (05:26):
we're kicking this to the curb already I don't know that
we're kicking it to the curb.
Are you gonna buy it?
No, really, you're not gonnabuy it.
No, I don't think I'm gonna buyit.
Ryan (05:36):
It's good, it's strong, it is strong what is it that's
turning you off now?
Because you were a little honedup on it.
Myke (05:43):
I think the longevity dries too fast and that Santel
33 vibe kind of ducks away toofast.
Gotcha, Gotcha.
I think if it was stronger inthat and the sweetness dialed
back a little bit it became alittle bit more nuanced as it
dried down I would be way moreinto it.
It's not a bad fragrance.
(06:04):
I really do suggest you go andtry it.
Just sample it.
You can get free samples ofthis bad boy.
Ryan (06:09):
If it was severely discounted, let's just say we're
not sponsored.
We've already tried to reachout to them.
They haven't messaged back Ourfragrance.
Myke (06:16):
if they had this for I don't know 58 bucks, I was going
to say 70 or less.
I 58 bucks, I was gonna say 70or less.
I wouldn't do 70, I'd do 50something, 50 something.
Huh, I would get it.
I would get it at that price.
Okay, there you go, yeah, butyou know what it made me want to
do what's up?
It made me want to try to layerit.
Not this fragrance, but thecombo of that made me go.
(06:39):
I wonder what.
Ryan (06:40):
Santel 33 and straight to heaven, layered with smell like
it sounds nasty, but I kind ofwant to try it like the good
kind of nasty, I don't know,like freaky, like.
Myke (06:54):
Uh, you know some of those .
You know early relationshipsyou had in college that you were
like.
That just got nasty and you'relike and I kind of like you
don't know where it's going, butYou're here for the ride.
Ryan (07:06):
No, yeah, maybe.
I don't know, we'll have tofigure it out.
Myke (07:10):
Yeah, I'm going to try it.
I honestly am going to try it.
Look, I've been layeringInsidious with Straight to
Heaven.
Ryan (07:19):
That is my fucking jam right now.
He has been wearing that a lotlately.
I cannot lie, he does indeedsmell good getting in the car
when he does I had a friendafter coffee one day.
Myke (07:29):
Okay, she gave me a hug and literally she said I'm not
gonna wash my shirt.
Damn, it smells so good.
It's got your cologne on it.
Ryan (07:38):
It smells so good, I'm not gonna wash this okay, which
part of that fragrance do youthink she's uh juiced?
Myke (07:45):
on?
I don't know, because they workreally well together okay.
Ryan (07:49):
Well, if you got insidious , that's by insider parfums and
you have straight to heaven bykillian.
Myke (07:54):
Try it out, see if you uh, and dan, let's get together and
maybe we can uh figure out whatthat formula is and we can make
a oh day, mike, or something.
Ryan (08:04):
Let's just jam it, dude, he's not going to return your
phone calls.
Dude, just stop, I'm just goingto message him on WhatsApp.
Myke (08:10):
Come on man, I got a great idea.
Please, I need it.
Ryan (08:15):
Strong sample to possible buy, if indeed it is lowered in
price.
That's what we're thinking.
It's got to be sub $60.
I would think 70 safe 70 andunder.
Well, I'm talking about for me,okay, okay, okay, all right,
now let's put our snippers onthis leaf-covered junk of a
bottle.
Le Mans, le Beau by Jean-PaulGaultier, mm-hmm.
Myke (08:44):
This is an interesting bottle, Ryanyan.
Why do you say that?
Because the majority of thelamals don't have their naughty
bits covered yeah, it's on fulldisplay on most of them, right,
but this one, it makes youwonder.
Does it have a bigger set ofmeaty clackers?
Is this why we need the figleaf in front of it?
Ryan (09:07):
Or is it really undersized and it's not going to be as
noticeable as its previouspredecessors?
Myke (09:18):
Good question.
I didn't know if this was theStatue of David type situation
we got going on.
Hmm, I didn't know if this wasthe Statue of David type
situation we got going on.
Oh, I like that.
Am I hinting?
Like a little berry type vibein there.
You know what?
Ryan (09:40):
I think you are.
Myke (09:41):
It's little, maybe two berries A twig and berries.
Ryan (09:47):
Are we talking?
Myke (09:47):
about it.
Ryan (09:49):
Okay, out the gate, because this is let's just put
this out there we didn't evenknow this.
When we grabbed this, they wereliterally across the aisle from
each other on differentcounters.
But we grabbed a sample ofMillion Gold by Raban, which, by
the way, put Paco's first nameon the front of that.
Get this shit up together, puthis name back in your mouth.
(10:09):
And then we grabbed this one,the LeBeau, because we were like
God, everybody gets Winnie thePooh, so we're doing LeBeau.
But we found out during thatepisode of the Million Gold,
this has the same perfumer.
Myke (10:22):
That's and an extra one.
Ryan (10:23):
It is quentin bish, and then it's also a quinnie the
bish, yeah, so a young ladynamed, uh, sonia constance I
believe it's her name orconstant.
Myke (10:33):
So I do sense a little bubble gum similarity between
the two, sure, but this also, italmost has a saltiness to it on
the skin I.
I can kind of get that On theskin.
I don't know.
I didn't run circles in theparking lot before I came in
here.
I haven't been jumping rope inthe attic or anything.
There's a saltiness to it.
Ryan (10:54):
I can kind of get that vibe.
Definitely do get the I don'tknow what kind of berry, but I
do get a little of a berry vibe.
Myke (11:00):
I mean the juice is super blue.
I mean the juice is super blue.
Maybe that saltiness is kind oflike that oceanic sort of vibe
Same energy guys.
Maybe it's like a berry popcornon the skin.
Ryan (11:14):
Let me read a little information about it real quick.
It smells good.
I'm digging it.
So prior to the show, we alwaysdo a little research for every
episode.
Okay guys, yeah, a littlebehind the curtain here and I'm
doing this research about thisfragrance.
I noticed that there's Lebeauand there's Lebeau Le Parfum,
and we didn't know which one wegot.
So I called our local store tofigure out which one that they
(11:35):
had there.
And also, while I was there, Igot the price.
Myke (11:37):
And we decided to record that call for quality assurance
Hit the recording Todd, yes, canI get the fragrance department
please for men?
Dillards (11:46):
Okay, Nicole.
Ryan (11:47):
Yes, ma'am, ah.
Dillards (11:54):
Thanks for calling Dillerton.
How can I help you today?
Ryan (11:57):
Yes, is this the men's fragrance counter?
Dillards (12:00):
Yes, it is.
Ryan (12:01):
Yeah, the other day I came in and I got a sample of a Le
Mans fragrance.
I know it's called Le Beau, butI didn't know which one it was.
I know there's two differentones there's a Le Beau and
there's a Le Beau, I guess LeParfum and I didn't know which
one y'all gave me a sample of.
So I was trying to figure outwhich one that was.
Dillards (12:17):
I believe the Le Beau should have been the Eau de
Toilette call it.
Ryan (12:20):
So it's like kind of like a bluish color yes, ma'am yeah,
I believe it was down from johnpaul gotier yes, ma'am, and so
that's the only laboe versiony'all carry there yeah, it's
just that one and I guess, whileI got you on the phone, how
much is that for, like thebigger bottle?
Dillards (12:33):
um, let me double check, okay okay hello.
Yes, ma'am, yes, I'm just gonnahave it in a set for 128.
So that is a 4.2 bottle and itincludes a 0.34 bottle um for
(12:55):
128.
Oh 128.
Okay, awesome, thank you somuch a regular size bottle and a
small one.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Hey, you too, thank you.
Thank you so much.
A regular-sized bottle and asmall one.
Ryan (13:03):
Yeah, you're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Hey you too.
Thank you.
So to give a little bit of,we're kind of skipping ahead,
but we will come back.
Yes, for a set on this is 128,0.3 ounce and some other
goofy-ass giveaway.
Myke (13:18):
Yeah.
So you basically get the bigbottle yeah, Plus a travel
atomizer.
Ryan (13:26):
Not a bad deal.
So popularity on this as wellhit it.
Popularity is a 4.31 out of 5,with over 7100 fucking votes.
Wow, which is shocking.
It's shocking for what I'msmelling right now oh okay, why
is that?
Myke (13:39):
it's not that this is bad.
Ryan (13:40):
This is pretty good, but it also feels kind of safe and
kind of you know man, the testerstrip and the skin are worlds
apart for me, I agree.
I'm trying to see which one Ieven like better.
They're both decent, I like thetester strip better.
Myke (13:56):
Maybe mr bish is formulating these just using
tester strips, because we saidthe same thing about the
previous fragrance million goldwell, I'm about to read you some
notes and I'm looking at them.
Ryan (14:09):
None of it makes sense to what I'm smelling.
Okay, it's only three, and wefucking hate it when they don't
give us enough notes in theinfluencer community you know.
Myke (14:19):
But remember early on that was kind of the thing they were
like hey, no more trillionnotes is we're giving you the, a
top note, a middle note and abass note.
Ryan (14:27):
Yeah, just the three I wonder, if it was like, this is
what all these together shouldsmell.
Like this, like an accord ofcoconut.
Well, there's three.
Wow okay, idiot savant overhere.
Top notes, bergamot, middlenotes, coconut.
Oh okay, base notes, tonka bean.
I don't get any of that to me.
Do you for real, do you at all?
(14:48):
Bergamot on the top, bergamoton the top, tonka bean on the
bottom and a little coconut inbetween.
Boy, a couple of coconuts inthere.
Is he hiding two big oldcoconuts behind that leaf?
Myke (15:01):
yeah, we will never know.
Is that a palm leaf?
Ryan (15:07):
I'm not impressed with this one.
Myke (15:09):
It's not bad but it isn't bad.
I don't.
Yeah, I'm with you.
I don't necessarily smell astrong citrus like a peppery
citrus that I expect frombergamot I maybe I'm getting the
coconutty ness because I kindof feel this kind of ocean
tropical vibe on my skin.
I'm thinking like berries andocean.
Ryan (15:28):
You know what?
When you said tropical, I'mvibing that I can get behind
that.
Myke (15:33):
But the tonka bean thing too.
I mean, so we've smelled.
Did we do a single note ontonka bean?
Ryan (15:38):
We did, but I can't remember if we uploaded it or
not, because there was one ofthose we tried to record video
of back in the day vetiver.
We tried that.
One opening is honestly prettyfucking good.
Myke (15:47):
The opening is the best part it is definitely the best
part and those first fiveminutes out of the atomizer like
a party a big swinging coconutparty.
Ryan (16:00):
Look, I'm not trying to be like the kid who like oh,
everybody likes taylor swift,fuck her.
I'm trying to be like that, butthis is.
Myke (16:09):
I don't know if it's just like straight up girl data me,
but I like I really do enjoytaylor swift I was just burning,
for example.
Ryan (16:16):
I'm not actually like rattling against her right.
Myke (16:18):
No, I know, but on the ricky episode you're like
somebody needs to dethrone thatbitch.
Ryan (16:24):
I never said that.
Myke (16:25):
Don't get us fucking killed by Swifties a gaggle of
them Dude, I'd be right therewith them.
I'd be like kill him.
He did it.
I got a couple of favoritesongs by her.
Ryan (16:41):
Yeah, you think she's a really good songwriter and I'm
just telling you, I do.
Myke (16:45):
We never really corrected what you're saying.
You're like, man, this bitchdoesn't write her own songs and
uh, it turns out it's primarilyher or her with a like maybe
another writer.
But she's even released, likethe voice notes that she like
sings a song to her phone andlike records it.
She's released some of thoseand they're pretty cool.
Man, that sounds so cringy,like she'll play it on piano and
(17:07):
sing it and then she'll go, butI want you know it's gonna have
like this.
Ryan (17:16):
This is audio proof that I taylor.
Dillards (17:18):
Swift wrote this song.
Ryan (17:19):
Here we go and I wanted it .
Yeah, no, that's, that's whack,I don't know.
It's pretty cool.
I think what pisses me offhonestly more about it is that
her, the NFL is like, definitelylike hey guys, you're one of
those Check it out.
We get tons of views when weshow freaking Mahomes.
He's throwing it to her fuckinggal pal over there.
Whatever the fuck, oh the fuck,oh, kelsey, yeah, kelsey, yeah.
(17:47):
I mean, but I already see thekelsey brothers on podcasts and
commercials on other teams.
You're just tired of it.
I'm tired of it, man.
And they're trying to go on athree-peat.
They've been playing like dogshit for the past four weeks and
they haven't lost a fuckinggame.
This is the worst that mahomeshas ever played and they haven't
lost a game anyway, okay,boomer, I digress.
Yeah, I'm not trying to be likejust like.
Everybody likes this and so I'mhating on it, yeah, but I am
(18:10):
quite puzzled at that manypositive votes for this and it's
not that it's bad, it is good.
But I feel like, when you havethat many people that come
together and vote something highyeah, that this thing ought to
be pretty like kicking my ass,right so what's not kicking your
ass about it?
I think because, because yousaid it's good, it is good, but
(18:33):
it does feel very young, okay,and that part it cancels me out
already.
Myke (18:39):
Maybe it's a shitload of young people that have jumped
online to vote yay for it.
Ryan (18:43):
Yeah, could be that may be the thing it's that it's like
it's not groundbreaking.
I feel like we've kind ofsmelled this here and there
amongst other things.
Okay, I don't look, I don'tsmell this and go, oh, this is,
I don't like it.
But it is different.
It feels similar to a couple ofthings.
It feels a little similar likeif you smelled the fucking
scandal or fucking fucking.
(19:04):
Really, you think this is closeto Scandal.
Yeah, it's like kind of it hasa little bit of the bubble gum,
a little bit of this, a littlebit of you know.
Myke (19:11):
Oh, you're talking about JPG Scandal, yeah, yeah.
Ryan (19:13):
Oh okay, Not Roger Parfums no.
Myke (19:16):
See, I don't get, yeah, this one Otherwise you know
shell scandalous.
Really, you think this is justall it needs is a little peanut
shell to hide for what it'spacking on this For sure, and
(19:36):
I'm not talking about the onethat has like two peanuts in it,
just like just a single peanut.
Yeah.
Well, you know how I feel aboutpeanuts.
I got tattooed on my fuckingarm that says I'm a big old nut.
Huh, it says I'm a big girl,yeah.
So if you haven't seen it, onmy right bicep I have two
peanuts that are saying I'm abig girl.
Ryan (19:59):
I have no doubt Todd's going to write us.
Have you send him a picture ofyour bicep showing that off?
Myke (20:05):
Signed and sealed and delivered to you, Todd.
Ryan (20:08):
Speaking of Todd, I'm going to take a quick side quest
here.
Okay, we got an email the otherday.
Okay, from Adam.
He just found us not too longago.
He got caught up on all of ourepisodes, but he wrote in the
email.
I'm not going to read the wholething, but I did want to read
the one part.
And then I want to address youguys.
Ooh, he's going to read thisone part and then he's going to
(20:35):
undress you, Is that?
Myke (20:35):
what you said.
No, I'm going to address them.
Oh okay, I heard that wrong.
Ryan (20:40):
We've been talking about fig leaves and peanuts and all
that kind of stuff.
He basically that's an honor.
So he basically said in this uh, it's a long length email, and
we wrote him back.
Thank you again for writing us.
Your friendship and some of thethings you guys went through
may or may not have caused a manto shed a tear.
I love you both.
By the way, did todd actuallylay his firearm on the table
while you were recording?
I totally believe it, because Iknow people who act the same
(21:05):
way.
But doing that during a podcastfeels hella aggressive and I
would have been way more weirdabout it, lol.
And I'll tell you what I kindof told him.
Okay, I have had the greatdispleasure of knowing Todd
since, quite literally, middleschool, a long time.
Yeah, and you got to know himthrough the podcast.
(21:26):
More through the podcast, yes,and.
But we all went to the sameschool, yes, uh, but todd always
wants to get a rise out of meor to annoy me or to pester me.
He likes to threaten me butlike in a subtle way of laying a
gun on the table kind of thing.
So, yes, that actually didhappen.
(21:48):
And every time he comes in herehe brings some type of gun and
tote bag and zip ties.
I swear to god, because that istodd, that is absolutely todd,
and you know what it's endearing.
Yeah, it is so endearing tohave a gun brandish in front of
you all the time.
He's very pro 2A is what I'mgetting at.
Myke (22:10):
Part of that email where he says you know, maybe we've
tackled some things on thepodcast that caused a grown man
to shed a few tears.
He's not wrong, he's definitely.
I mean, because we've shed afew tears on this podcast.
Ryan (22:23):
We have man.
Uh, it's become cathartic to us, I think and we're just in
general.
Myke (22:29):
We're sensitive dudes and we're trying to normalize that a
little bit.
You know, even ricky pointedout that I was only really 80
manly man and 20 kind of nerdkind of uh, you got peanuts and
dinos tattooed on your arm.
You know that type of guy and Ithink sometimes we see that
(22:52):
discouraged out there, don't?
You?
Don't have to be so hard aroundthe edges, absolutely yeah,
just god.
Ryan (22:59):
Why so serious guys?
Myke (23:00):
it's one life guys yeah, but again, I don't think it's
necessarily us right.
We enjoy getting a laugh andand being sentimental at times
and for sure you know handlingand and being vulnerable and
open and uh, we hope thatthrough this podcast, just a
little serious note.
We hope that through thispodcast, just a little serious
note, we hope that through thispodcast, we encourage you to do
the same.
Ryan (23:21):
Absolutely, and kind of like I told him not to shill it
but I was saying for real, nopressure, go to the Patreon.
There's a lot of good people inthere.
I'm just shocked at.
I'm just shocked at how good itis.
Myke (23:34):
I won't say any names, but in the health chat in our
Patreon we've talked aboutaddiction and I've even given my
own personal story of having toreach out to people decades
later and try to rebuild, burnbridges and issue apologies to
(23:54):
people that I've heard along theway.
We handle those type of thingstoo.
So life is just not aboutfragrances.
It's more than that.
We can enjoy fragrances, butalso in there I think we're just
becoming a big group of friends, and I think that's important,
because, as much as you lovetalking about fragrances, you're
going to have times where youneed to say I'm going through
(24:16):
this, I'm dealing with this, I'mtrying to handle this, I'm
trying to overcome this, and youwant people that actually give
a damn.
Ryan (24:24):
And for whatever reason they do, Everybody's so
supportive, and so we're justproud of it.
Myke (24:29):
Yeah, I think if you've gotten through nearly 300
episodes of us and you stilllike us and you still like this
podcast, you're probably thesame type of person that we are.
We're geeky about certain thingsand we have fun with it, but
just deep down we care.
We try to enjoy life as much aspossible and we try to put a
smile on other people's faces,but sometimes that really drains
(24:51):
you.
Sometimes you want so good foreverybody around you and you
pour out into so many people,but you don't have a lot of
people pouring back into you.
And if you kind of findyourself like that you kind of
find yourself out on an islandor you feel alone and that
island isn't tropical likeLebeau then you may be looking
for kind of some of thecommunity that we have on the
(25:13):
Patreon.
Just a serious note, this isnot a plug to get your money,
but just honestly.
I know that life sometimes iskind of difficult, but again we
started building community chatsand stuff like that to where
people can get in, just getsupport and have a good time.
Ryan (25:44):
Absolutely, and I won't go any further than that.
Well said, and back to LeBeau.
Okay, who is wearing thisgeneric piece of shit?
Myke (25:56):
I do agree with you that it is a little on the young side
, but I don't think it's tooyoung, okay.
Okay, I'm gonna say 25,youngest, okay what do you think
I'm thinking?
Ryan (26:06):
probably 18 and up, really okay you're going to community
college, huh yeah, you haven'tquite figured out.
You know how to be cool, yetyou're still like a freshman in
college, but you feel kind ofindependent.
You know you're probably Idon't know.
Myke (26:24):
Yeah, you're going to your dumbass required classes you're
trying to find someindependence while at the same
time still wanting to fit in.
Ryan (26:32):
Yeah, and you're.
You're still kind of young,you're kind of weird, you don't
know how to approach people.
You're taking your classes andyou need a basic fragrance like
this.
You're not off-putting, butpeople go.
You know, Johnny smells cool.
Myke (26:48):
Do you feel like this is a great departure from the
original Lamal?
Then, oh, absolutely, becausethat isn't so young and generic
Could just be the time that itcame out.
Ryan (27:00):
I think that does have something to do with it and I
look we're going to do anepisode on the original Le Mans,
but I think there's a lot ofgood in that fucking fragrance
that's the godfather himself,Francis.
Kirkshaw Dude.
It's a fucking killer fragrance.
And yeah, do I think that thisis a huge departure?
Absolutely yes, and I don'treally get this.
(27:23):
I mean, it's kind of tropical,it's already dimed down, it's so
generic, I just couldn't wearthis.
Myke (27:29):
Man, I just get sweet salty on my skin.
Is it that salty to you?
Because it's really salty to me.
Ryan (27:35):
No, I actually do agree.
I do agree On the skin, andmaybe that's what it's trying to
convey.
It's trying to be tropical.
You are going to think fuckingbreezy beach, fucking saltwater
maybe.
So I don't get aquatic though.
Myke (27:47):
No, I don't get aquatic either.
I'm just like salt is making methink of the beach, because
there's also like a tropicalnessto it.
I don't really get a lot ofcoconut.
Ryan (27:58):
I don't either.
I don't get any of the notes Iwas about to say, even though
this isn't really like it's notcitrus heavy at all, but I will
say kind of like a citrusfragrance.
I think you can tell whenyou're smelling this.
It does smell like one of thosefragrances that if you did get
in the heat I feel like thisthing would be nuclear.
Myke (28:13):
Here's what I think about this fragrance, though I believe
that it's going to smell betterto somebody else in the air
than you smelling it on yourself.
Ryan (28:24):
Could be.
I'll do my COs test.
You may be right yeah.
Myke (28:28):
It's not bad.
You're right, it's not a badfragrance, but it does feel more
on the generic side because itjust smells like clean static.
Ryan (28:38):
Yeah Great, hey smells like clean static.
Yeah great, hey hit that.
Myke (28:41):
Yes, yeah, like the sweet, clean, static, but there is a
saltiness.
That is interesting, but Ithink for me, if I went around
smelling myself all the time,smelling like this, I'd get
overwhelmed.
Yeah, it's a little salty on myskin.
Were you going to skip it?
Sample it or buy?
Ryan (28:57):
it.
What are you going do, ryan?
Certifiable lock of the century, skipping this, I won't even
feel bad.
They could drop this thing to30.
I wouldn't fucking pay for it,dude, really okay, I wouldn't
want it.
Yeah, I agree with you thatit's a skip okay, good, I was
like, hopefully I didn't makethat too anticlimactic, just
(29:18):
dropping it.
Myke (29:19):
Hearts like that, but fuck it no, I mean, it smells nice,
it smells generic I'm not sayingit smells bad, it does smell
nice and yes, it's just generic.
Ryan (29:29):
I just I'm not feeling it.
Myke (29:30):
But I think if you're young and you're either going to
school, you work in an office,you're going to be around people
.
I don't think this is a bad oneto get you know what?
Ryan (29:42):
You know what?
I bet you, why it has so manyhigh reviews is that this came
out in 2019.
This would have been at thestart of this kind of style of
fragrance.
It may have been interesting atthat time, half a decade ago,
yeah, but now it's like becausethat I feel like that profile
has been done a million timesnow I just the moment I it feels
(30:04):
similar to those, I'm just likenope, I'm out.
Myke (30:07):
I just don't like it I feel you, it's not bad, but it's
not groundbreaking, and I wishI could rewind to 2019 and maybe
it would have beengroundbreaking.
I remember smelling lamal forthe first time with you on
somebody else and I was likethat smells great.
You immediately knew what itwas.
Yeah, it had a signature kindof profile to it.
(30:28):
Do you feel like if you smelledthis on somebody walking by,
you'd be able to pinpointexactly what fragrance?
Ryan (30:34):
wouldn't have a clue, wouldn't have a clue what this
was, I would be like.
Is he wearing scandal?
Is he wearing that?
Is he wearing lamal?
Whatever the fucking ultra mall?
Is it?
This is that is it.
You know the fucking gun barrelone.
What's that?
Myke (30:47):
one called uh, wanted by night yeah, oh, I way prefer
wanted by night over this, no no, I do too.
Ryan (30:52):
I'm just saying, but there's a little similarity in
some of that stuff, so I'm justlike I wouldn't be able to pick
it out.
But yeah, the original one,absolutely.
The moment I smelled I was like.
I was like are you wearingoriginal lamar?
Myke (31:01):
because he was dj jamming, that's right yeah super nice
guy great guy and the partyloved him.
They fucking loved him, and weloved how he smelled and
everybody hated us.
Yeah, that was.
That was a hard one for us.
Ryan (31:22):
They fed us in the back of a fucking alley.
Yeah, with cold chicken.
Myke (31:29):
Yeah, you know what, save the rest of that story for the
lamal okay episode, the originalLamal episode.
Ryan (31:36):
Fuck them, dude, but yeah, okay.
Myke (31:39):
Well, there you go, guys.
I hope we didn't hurt anybody'sfeelings, because I know how
beloved the Lamal line ingeneral is.
Ryan (31:47):
It's so beloved, it's shockiness, and I can't wait to
do the original because I meanyou won't know, mike, but you
can already kind of tell I loveLamal, yeah.
Myke (32:00):
You'll find out, and until next time, spray it up, y'all.
hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Was that enough?
Yeah?
Myke (00:09):
I'm mike and I'm ryan and we're two best friends.
This is the cologne podcast, bythe way, where we go on
fragrantical adventures andsmell fragrances and give you
uneducated opinions on the world.
Oh, shit, shit, I'm sorry, goahead.
No, you go ahead, ryan.
Ryan (00:26):
Oh on the world of fragrances.
Myke (00:29):
Today we're handling a crowd favorite.
You guys love some Lamal.
Ryan (00:36):
Absolutely.
Our two highest episodes areLamal, which is shocking.
We just figured this out, bythe way, in the past week.
Yeah, we're like what the fuck?
Myke (00:44):
Lamal yeah, we're like what the fuck?
Lamalle?
Yeah, you guys have downloadedLaMalle episodes more than
Aventus episodes, more than whenwe bring ladies on here.
You guys, just you download thefuck out of some LaMalle.
So we went hey, let's do aLaMalle fragrance, right?
Yeah, let's smell some moreLaMalles.
Let's do a Lamal fragrance,right.
(01:05):
Yeah, let's smell some moreLamals.
Let's play the game.
Divvy the cards up, guys, let'sdo it.
And today we're smelling Lamal,laboe, yeah.
Ryan (01:12):
Came out in 2019.
We thought we were picking upthe latest one, but it's this
one.
Myke (01:16):
Yeah, sickhead on Fragrantica says Horror
flashbacks to high school gymclass, the locker rooms and
taking breaths that consist ofmore aerosol deodorant than air.
Ryan (01:27):
not sure I'd trust anyone over the age of 16 willing to
wear this were you, uh, gettinghung up on the breasts and
trying to say breast orsomething?
Myke (01:36):
no, it was this long fucking high school gym class
locker rooms.
That's like that's a tonguetwister High horror.
Flashbacks to high school gymclass locker rooms.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Ryan (01:48):
Horror flashback to high school horror film Jack of films
.
Myke (01:52):
Yeah, why wouldn't you just say high school locker
rooms?
Ryan (01:55):
Can you even say it?
I'll say it one more time.
High school gym class lockerrooms.
Myke (01:59):
High school gym class locker rooms high rooms, high
school gym class, soccer rooms.
Yeah, why is it that?
And taking breaths that consistof more aerosol deodorant than
air?
Who is constructing?
Well, sick head constructing?
Ryan (02:10):
these sentences make it so difficult to read you know
which tongue tongue twister Ican do, and it's only because I
love the movie last action hero.
Myke (02:18):
Was it woody?
Ryan (02:19):
woody wood chuck chucker likes to fucking chuck woody
woods no, because remember, helike, uh, the kid Danny Madigan,
he can like predict everythingbecause he's from the real world
.
He's been watching all the JackSlater movies yeah, he's in the
3D realm and then, like, he'slike kind of cutting Arnold
Schwarzenegger off every once ina while telling him what he
like you know he says, and thenArnold turns to him, he goes
(02:39):
rubber, baby, rubber, baby,buggy bumpers.
You know he's like you wouldn'tthink I'd say that.
So I like practice that a lotwhen I was younger and I still
fucked it up, but still Cool.
Myke (02:52):
Man, that's badass right.
Ryan (02:56):
Mike's doing his thing, okay.
Okay, if it sounds like we'vegot a lot of energy, it's
because the very next day and Ihad a mocha, uh, double shot
espresso from starbucks the cansure did?
Myke (03:09):
I had a caramel, and which did you caramel?
What?
Ryan (03:12):
did you discover?
Let them know what you discovertoday.
Myke (03:14):
Reading the back of that fucking can there's 12 grams of
protein in those bad boys.
Isn't that wild?
That's more than I thought.
More than a cup of milk.
Ryan (03:23):
Before we stroke on LeBeau today, we need a stroke off on.
Myke (03:29):
Million Gold by.
Ryan (03:31):
Raban Hit the music, Todd yeah.
Myke (03:37):
One night stand review.
Well, Ryan, after spending thenight with Sir Paco Rabanne and
smelling millions and millionsof gold, what do you think?
Ryan (03:50):
Well, he's dead, so I didn't spend time with Paco
Rabanne.
Myke (03:53):
Well, it depends, do you know, a soothsayer, a
necromancer.
Ryan (04:00):
I do not.
But I will say this I stand bywhat I said in the last episode,
which is that it smells reallygood, impressively good.
We put it in our heads.
It does smell very kind ofsimilar to Santel 33.
It has a hint of it, a hint,yeah, but it's a lot sweeter,
it's a lot softer, it's balancedjust right.
(04:21):
It's not for me, but that doesnot mean it's bad.
It's really good.
It's just not my style.
But mike threw it on and wewent out to town afterwards.
Yeah, I actually went to dollargeneral.
If I'm just being real with youguys, that's town to us and
just so you know, to show youhow small town our dollar
general is, they have like ahuge fucking bucket sitting
outside with just like fivepounds of dog food in there for
(04:43):
some stray dog in the area.
Myke (04:49):
Yeah, it's a cute dog.
It actually looks like Ryan andI have a dog that looks very
similar to each other, likethey're from the same family.
It might be their dad.
It's an older dog, I think soyeah, but long story short.
Ryan (04:57):
on the way there he smelled amazing because he laced
up with it.
I got in the car before him andthe whole car smelled like it.
Yeah, I got here to the studiobefore him and the whole studio
smelled like it.
Myke (05:07):
Yeah, the problem is after lunch it kind of faded.
It's not one that's going tohang on for a while, but hey, if
you can get a good discount onit, then spray the hell out of
it.
It smells good.
Ryan (05:18):
I think if it was a little bit cheaper, I think this is a
safe buy for people.
I agree is a safe buy forpeople, I agree.
Okay, so is that it we donewith that?
Myke (05:26):
we're kicking this to the curb already I don't know that
we're kicking it to the curb.
Are you gonna buy it?
No, really, you're not gonnabuy it.
No, I don't think I'm gonna buyit.
Ryan (05:36):
It's good, it's strong, it is strong what is it that's
turning you off now?
Because you were a little honedup on it.
Myke (05:43):
I think the longevity dries too fast and that Santel
33 vibe kind of ducks away toofast.
Gotcha, Gotcha.
I think if it was stronger inthat and the sweetness dialed
back a little bit it became alittle bit more nuanced as it
dried down I would be way moreinto it.
It's not a bad fragrance.
(06:04):
I really do suggest you go andtry it.
Just sample it.
You can get free samples ofthis bad boy.
Ryan (06:09):
If it was severely discounted, let's just say we're
not sponsored.
We've already tried to reachout to them.
They haven't messaged back Ourfragrance.
Myke (06:16):
if they had this for I don't know 58 bucks, I was going
to say 70 or less.
I 58 bucks, I was gonna say 70or less.
I wouldn't do 70, I'd do 50something, 50 something.
Huh, I would get it.
I would get it at that price.
Okay, there you go, yeah, butyou know what it made me want to
do what's up?
It made me want to try to layerit.
Not this fragrance, but thecombo of that made me go.
(06:39):
I wonder what.
Ryan (06:40):
Santel 33 and straight to heaven, layered with smell like
it sounds nasty, but I kind ofwant to try it like the good
kind of nasty, I don't know,like freaky, like.
Myke (06:54):
Uh, you know some of those .
You know early relationshipsyou had in college that you were
like.
That just got nasty and you'relike and I kind of like you
don't know where it's going, butYou're here for the ride.
Ryan (07:06):
No, yeah, maybe.
I don't know, we'll have tofigure it out.
Myke (07:10):
Yeah, I'm going to try it.
I honestly am going to try it.
Look, I've been layeringInsidious with Straight to
Heaven.
Ryan (07:19):
That is my fucking jam right now.
He has been wearing that a lotlately.
I cannot lie, he does indeedsmell good getting in the car
when he does I had a friendafter coffee one day.
Myke (07:29):
Okay, she gave me a hug and literally she said I'm not
gonna wash my shirt.
Damn, it smells so good.
It's got your cologne on it.
Ryan (07:38):
It smells so good, I'm not gonna wash this okay, which
part of that fragrance do youthink she's uh juiced?
Myke (07:45):
on?
I don't know, because they workreally well together okay.
Ryan (07:49):
Well, if you got insidious , that's by insider parfums and
you have straight to heaven bykillian.
Myke (07:54):
Try it out, see if you uh, and dan, let's get together and
maybe we can uh figure out whatthat formula is and we can make
a oh day, mike, or something.
Ryan (08:04):
Let's just jam it, dude, he's not going to return your
phone calls.
Dude, just stop, I'm just goingto message him on WhatsApp.
Myke (08:10):
Come on man, I got a great idea.
Please, I need it.
Ryan (08:15):
Strong sample to possible buy, if indeed it is lowered in
price.
That's what we're thinking.
It's got to be sub $60.
I would think 70 safe 70 andunder.
Well, I'm talking about for me,okay, okay, okay, all right,
now let's put our snippers onthis leaf-covered junk of a
bottle.
Le Mans, le Beau by Jean-PaulGaultier, mm-hmm.
Myke (08:44):
This is an interesting bottle, Ryanyan.
Why do you say that?
Because the majority of thelamals don't have their naughty
bits covered yeah, it's on fulldisplay on most of them, right,
but this one, it makes youwonder.
Does it have a bigger set ofmeaty clackers?
Is this why we need the figleaf in front of it?
Ryan (09:07):
Or is it really undersized and it's not going to be as
noticeable as its previouspredecessors?
Myke (09:18):
Good question.
I didn't know if this was theStatue of David type situation
we got going on.
Hmm, I didn't know if this wasthe Statue of David type
situation we got going on.
Oh, I like that.
Am I hinting?
Like a little berry type vibein there.
You know what?
Ryan (09:40):
I think you are.
Myke (09:41):
It's little, maybe two berries A twig and berries.
Ryan (09:47):
Are we talking?
Myke (09:47):
about it.
Ryan (09:49):
Okay, out the gate, because this is let's just put
this out there we didn't evenknow this.
When we grabbed this, they wereliterally across the aisle from
each other on differentcounters.
But we grabbed a sample ofMillion Gold by Raban, which, by
the way, put Paco's first nameon the front of that.
Get this shit up together, puthis name back in your mouth.
(10:09):
And then we grabbed this one,the LeBeau, because we were like
God, everybody gets Winnie thePooh, so we're doing LeBeau.
But we found out during thatepisode of the Million Gold,
this has the same perfumer.
Myke (10:22):
That's and an extra one.
Ryan (10:23):
It is quentin bish, and then it's also a quinnie the
bish, yeah, so a young ladynamed, uh, sonia constance I
believe it's her name orconstant.
Myke (10:33):
So I do sense a little bubble gum similarity between
the two, sure, but this also, italmost has a saltiness to it on
the skin I.
I can kind of get that On theskin.
I don't know.
I didn't run circles in theparking lot before I came in
here.
I haven't been jumping rope inthe attic or anything.
There's a saltiness to it.
Ryan (10:54):
I can kind of get that vibe.
Definitely do get the I don'tknow what kind of berry, but I
do get a little of a berry vibe.
Myke (11:00):
I mean the juice is super blue.
I mean the juice is super blue.
Maybe that saltiness is kind oflike that oceanic sort of vibe
Same energy guys.
Maybe it's like a berry popcornon the skin.
Ryan (11:14):
Let me read a little information about it real quick.
It smells good.
I'm digging it.
So prior to the show, we alwaysdo a little research for every
episode.
Okay guys, yeah, a littlebehind the curtain here and I'm
doing this research about thisfragrance.
I noticed that there's Lebeauand there's Lebeau Le Parfum,
and we didn't know which one wegot.
So I called our local store tofigure out which one that they
(11:35):
had there.
And also, while I was there, Igot the price.
Myke (11:37):
And we decided to record that call for quality assurance
Hit the recording Todd, yes, canI get the fragrance department
please for men?
Dillards (11:46):
Okay, Nicole.
Ryan (11:47):
Yes, ma'am, ah.
Dillards (11:54):
Thanks for calling Dillerton.
How can I help you today?
Ryan (11:57):
Yes, is this the men's fragrance counter?
Dillards (12:00):
Yes, it is.
Ryan (12:01):
Yeah, the other day I came in and I got a sample of a Le
Mans fragrance.
I know it's called Le Beau, butI didn't know which one it was.
I know there's two differentones there's a Le Beau and
there's a Le Beau, I guess LeParfum and I didn't know which
one y'all gave me a sample of.
So I was trying to figure outwhich one that was.
Dillards (12:17):
I believe the Le Beau should have been the Eau de
Toilette call it.
Ryan (12:20):
So it's like kind of like a bluish color yes, ma'am yeah,
I believe it was down from johnpaul gotier yes, ma'am, and so
that's the only laboe versiony'all carry there yeah, it's
just that one and I guess, whileI got you on the phone, how
much is that for, like thebigger bottle?
Dillards (12:33):
um, let me double check, okay okay hello.
Yes, ma'am, yes, I'm just gonnahave it in a set for 128.
So that is a 4.2 bottle and itincludes a 0.34 bottle um for
(12:55):
128.
Oh 128.
Okay, awesome, thank you somuch a regular size bottle and a
small one.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Hey, you too, thank you.
Thank you so much.
A regular-sized bottle and asmall one.
Ryan (13:03):
Yeah, you're welcome.
Have a nice day.
Hey you too.
Thank you.
So to give a little bit of,we're kind of skipping ahead,
but we will come back.
Yes, for a set on this is 128,0.3 ounce and some other
goofy-ass giveaway.
Myke (13:18):
Yeah.
So you basically get the bigbottle yeah, Plus a travel
atomizer.
Ryan (13:26):
Not a bad deal.
So popularity on this as wellhit it.
Popularity is a 4.31 out of 5,with over 7100 fucking votes.
Wow, which is shocking.
It's shocking for what I'msmelling right now oh okay, why
is that?
Myke (13:39):
it's not that this is bad.
Ryan (13:40):
This is pretty good, but it also feels kind of safe and
kind of you know man, the testerstrip and the skin are worlds
apart for me, I agree.
I'm trying to see which one Ieven like better.
They're both decent, I like thetester strip better.
Myke (13:56):
Maybe mr bish is formulating these just using
tester strips, because we saidthe same thing about the
previous fragrance million goldwell, I'm about to read you some
notes and I'm looking at them.
Ryan (14:09):
None of it makes sense to what I'm smelling.
Okay, it's only three, and wefucking hate it when they don't
give us enough notes in theinfluencer community you know.
Myke (14:19):
But remember early on that was kind of the thing they were
like hey, no more trillionnotes is we're giving you the, a
top note, a middle note and abass note.
Ryan (14:27):
Yeah, just the three I wonder, if it was like, this is
what all these together shouldsmell.
Like this, like an accord ofcoconut.
Well, there's three.
Wow okay, idiot savant overhere.
Top notes, bergamot, middlenotes, coconut.
Oh okay, base notes, tonka bean.
I don't get any of that to me.
Do you for real, do you at all?
(14:48):
Bergamot on the top, bergamoton the top, tonka bean on the
bottom and a little coconut inbetween.
Boy, a couple of coconuts inthere.
Is he hiding two big oldcoconuts behind that leaf?
Myke (15:01):
yeah, we will never know.
Is that a palm leaf?
Ryan (15:07):
I'm not impressed with this one.
Myke (15:09):
It's not bad but it isn't bad.
I don't.
Yeah, I'm with you.
I don't necessarily smell astrong citrus like a peppery
citrus that I expect frombergamot I maybe I'm getting the
coconutty ness because I kindof feel this kind of ocean
tropical vibe on my skin.
I'm thinking like berries andocean.
Ryan (15:28):
You know what?
When you said tropical, I'mvibing that I can get behind
that.
Myke (15:33):
But the tonka bean thing too.
I mean, so we've smelled.
Did we do a single note ontonka bean?
Ryan (15:38):
We did, but I can't remember if we uploaded it or
not, because there was one ofthose we tried to record video
of back in the day vetiver.
We tried that.
One opening is honestly prettyfucking good.
Myke (15:47):
The opening is the best part it is definitely the best
part and those first fiveminutes out of the atomizer like
a party a big swinging coconutparty.
Ryan (16:00):
Look, I'm not trying to be like the kid who like oh,
everybody likes taylor swift,fuck her.
I'm trying to be like that, butthis is.
Myke (16:09):
I don't know if it's just like straight up girl data me,
but I like I really do enjoytaylor swift I was just burning,
for example.
Ryan (16:16):
I'm not actually like rattling against her right.
Myke (16:18):
No, I know, but on the ricky episode you're like
somebody needs to dethrone thatbitch.
Ryan (16:24):
I never said that.
Myke (16:25):
Don't get us fucking killed by Swifties a gaggle of
them Dude, I'd be right therewith them.
I'd be like kill him.
He did it.
I got a couple of favoritesongs by her.
Ryan (16:41):
Yeah, you think she's a really good songwriter and I'm
just telling you, I do.
Myke (16:45):
We never really corrected what you're saying.
You're like, man, this bitchdoesn't write her own songs and
uh, it turns out it's primarilyher or her with a like maybe
another writer.
But she's even released, likethe voice notes that she like
sings a song to her phone andlike records it.
She's released some of thoseand they're pretty cool.
Man, that sounds so cringy,like she'll play it on piano and
(17:07):
sing it and then she'll go, butI want you know it's gonna have
like this.
Ryan (17:16):
This is audio proof that I taylor.
Dillards (17:18):
Swift wrote this song.
Ryan (17:19):
Here we go and I wanted it .
Yeah, no, that's, that's whack,I don't know.
It's pretty cool.
I think what pisses me offhonestly more about it is that
her, the NFL is like, definitelylike hey guys, you're one of
those Check it out.
We get tons of views when weshow freaking Mahomes.
He's throwing it to her fuckinggal pal over there.
Whatever the fuck, oh the fuck,oh, kelsey, yeah, kelsey, yeah.
(17:47):
I mean, but I already see thekelsey brothers on podcasts and
commercials on other teams.
You're just tired of it.
I'm tired of it, man.
And they're trying to go on athree-peat.
They've been playing like dogshit for the past four weeks and
they haven't lost a fuckinggame.
This is the worst that mahomeshas ever played and they haven't
lost a game anyway, okay,boomer, I digress.
Yeah, I'm not trying to be likejust like.
Everybody likes this and so I'mhating on it, yeah, but I am
(18:10):
quite puzzled at that manypositive votes for this and it's
not that it's bad, it is good.
But I feel like, when you havethat many people that come
together and vote something highyeah, that this thing ought to
be pretty like kicking my ass,right so what's not kicking your
ass about it?
I think because, because yousaid it's good, it is good, but
(18:33):
it does feel very young, okay,and that part it cancels me out
already.
Myke (18:39):
Maybe it's a shitload of young people that have jumped
online to vote yay for it.
Ryan (18:43):
Yeah, could be that may be the thing it's that it's like
it's not groundbreaking.
I feel like we've kind ofsmelled this here and there
amongst other things.
Okay, I don't look, I don'tsmell this and go, oh, this is,
I don't like it.
But it is different.
It feels similar to a couple ofthings.
It feels a little similar likeif you smelled the fucking
scandal or fucking fucking.
(19:04):
Really, you think this is closeto Scandal.
Yeah, it's like kind of it hasa little bit of the bubble gum,
a little bit of this, a littlebit of you know.
Myke (19:11):
Oh, you're talking about JPG Scandal, yeah, yeah.
Ryan (19:13):
Oh okay, Not Roger Parfums no.
Myke (19:16):
See, I don't get, yeah, this one Otherwise you know
shell scandalous.
Really, you think this is justall it needs is a little peanut
shell to hide for what it'spacking on this For sure, and
(19:36):
I'm not talking about the onethat has like two peanuts in it,
just like just a single peanut.
Yeah.
Well, you know how I feel aboutpeanuts.
I got tattooed on my fuckingarm that says I'm a big old nut.
Huh, it says I'm a big girl,yeah.
So if you haven't seen it, onmy right bicep I have two
peanuts that are saying I'm abig girl.
Ryan (19:59):
I have no doubt Todd's going to write us.
Have you send him a picture ofyour bicep showing that off?
Myke (20:05):
Signed and sealed and delivered to you, Todd.
Ryan (20:08):
Speaking of Todd, I'm going to take a quick side quest
here.
Okay, we got an email the otherday.
Okay, from Adam.
He just found us not too longago.
He got caught up on all of ourepisodes, but he wrote in the
email.
I'm not going to read the wholething, but I did want to read
the one part.
And then I want to address youguys.
Ooh, he's going to read thisone part and then he's going to
(20:35):
undress you, Is that?
Myke (20:35):
what you said.
No, I'm going to address them.
Oh okay, I heard that wrong.
Ryan (20:40):
We've been talking about fig leaves and peanuts and all
that kind of stuff.
He basically that's an honor.
So he basically said in this uh, it's a long length email, and
we wrote him back.
Thank you again for writing us.
Your friendship and some of thethings you guys went through
may or may not have caused a manto shed a tear.
I love you both.
By the way, did todd actuallylay his firearm on the table
while you were recording?
I totally believe it, because Iknow people who act the same
(21:05):
way.
But doing that during a podcastfeels hella aggressive and I
would have been way more weirdabout it, lol.
And I'll tell you what I kindof told him.
Okay, I have had the greatdispleasure of knowing Todd
since, quite literally, middleschool, a long time.
Yeah, and you got to know himthrough the podcast.
(21:26):
More through the podcast, yes,and.
But we all went to the sameschool, yes, uh, but todd always
wants to get a rise out of meor to annoy me or to pester me.
He likes to threaten me butlike in a subtle way of laying a
gun on the table kind of thing.
So, yes, that actually didhappen.
(21:48):
And every time he comes in herehe brings some type of gun and
tote bag and zip ties.
I swear to god, because that istodd, that is absolutely todd,
and you know what it's endearing.
Yeah, it is so endearing tohave a gun brandish in front of
you all the time.
He's very pro 2A is what I'mgetting at.
Myke (22:10):
Part of that email where he says you know, maybe we've
tackled some things on thepodcast that caused a grown man
to shed a few tears.
He's not wrong, he's definitely.
I mean, because we've shed afew tears on this podcast.
Ryan (22:23):
We have man.
Uh, it's become cathartic to us, I think and we're just in
general.
Myke (22:29):
We're sensitive dudes and we're trying to normalize that a
little bit.
You know, even ricky pointedout that I was only really 80
manly man and 20 kind of nerdkind of uh, you got peanuts and
dinos tattooed on your arm.
You know that type of guy and Ithink sometimes we see that
(22:52):
discouraged out there, don't?
You?
Don't have to be so hard aroundthe edges, absolutely yeah,
just god.
Ryan (22:59):
Why so serious guys?
Myke (23:00):
it's one life guys yeah, but again, I don't think it's
necessarily us right.
We enjoy getting a laugh andand being sentimental at times
and for sure you know handlingand and being vulnerable and
open and uh, we hope thatthrough this podcast, just a
little serious note.
We hope that through thispodcast, just a little serious
note, we hope that through thispodcast, we encourage you to do
the same.
Ryan (23:21):
Absolutely, and kind of like I told him not to shill it
but I was saying for real, nopressure, go to the Patreon.
There's a lot of good people inthere.
I'm just shocked at.
I'm just shocked at how good itis.
Myke (23:34):
I won't say any names, but in the health chat in our
Patreon we've talked aboutaddiction and I've even given my
own personal story of having toreach out to people decades
later and try to rebuild, burnbridges and issue apologies to
(23:54):
people that I've heard along theway.
We handle those type of thingstoo.
So life is just not aboutfragrances.
It's more than that.
We can enjoy fragrances, butalso in there I think we're just
becoming a big group of friends, and I think that's important,
because, as much as you lovetalking about fragrances, you're
going to have times where youneed to say I'm going through
(24:16):
this, I'm dealing with this, I'mtrying to handle this, I'm
trying to overcome this, and youwant people that actually give
a damn.
Ryan (24:24):
And for whatever reason they do, Everybody's so
supportive, and so we're justproud of it.
Myke (24:29):
Yeah, I think if you've gotten through nearly 300
episodes of us and you stilllike us and you still like this
podcast, you're probably thesame type of person that we are.
We're geeky about certain thingsand we have fun with it, but
just deep down we care.
We try to enjoy life as much aspossible and we try to put a
smile on other people's faces,but sometimes that really drains
(24:51):
you.
Sometimes you want so good foreverybody around you and you
pour out into so many people,but you don't have a lot of
people pouring back into you.
And if you kind of findyourself like that you kind of
find yourself out on an islandor you feel alone and that
island isn't tropical likeLebeau then you may be looking
for kind of some of thecommunity that we have on the
(25:13):
Patreon.
Just a serious note, this isnot a plug to get your money,
but just honestly.
I know that life sometimes iskind of difficult, but again we
started building community chatsand stuff like that to where
people can get in, just getsupport and have a good time.
Ryan (25:44):
Absolutely, and I won't go any further than that.
Well said, and back to LeBeau.
Okay, who is wearing thisgeneric piece of shit?
Myke (25:56):
I do agree with you that it is a little on the young side
, but I don't think it's tooyoung, okay.
Okay, I'm gonna say 25,youngest, okay what do you think
I'm thinking?
Ryan (26:06):
probably 18 and up, really okay you're going to community
college, huh yeah, you haven'tquite figured out.
You know how to be cool, yetyou're still like a freshman in
college, but you feel kind ofindependent.
You know you're probably Idon't know.
Myke (26:24):
Yeah, you're going to your dumbass required classes you're
trying to find someindependence while at the same
time still wanting to fit in.
Ryan (26:32):
Yeah, and you're.
You're still kind of young,you're kind of weird, you don't
know how to approach people.
You're taking your classes andyou need a basic fragrance like
this.
You're not off-putting, butpeople go.
You know, Johnny smells cool.
Myke (26:48):
Do you feel like this is a great departure from the
original Lamal?
Then, oh, absolutely, becausethat isn't so young and generic
Could just be the time that itcame out.
Ryan (27:00):
I think that does have something to do with it and I
look we're going to do anepisode on the original Le Mans,
but I think there's a lot ofgood in that fucking fragrance
that's the godfather himself,Francis.
Kirkshaw Dude.
It's a fucking killer fragrance.
And yeah, do I think that thisis a huge departure?
Absolutely yes, and I don'treally get this.
(27:23):
I mean, it's kind of tropical,it's already dimed down, it's so
generic, I just couldn't wearthis.
Myke (27:29):
Man, I just get sweet salty on my skin.
Is it that salty to you?
Because it's really salty to me.
Ryan (27:35):
No, I actually do agree.
I do agree On the skin, andmaybe that's what it's trying to
convey.
It's trying to be tropical.
You are going to think fuckingbreezy beach, fucking saltwater
maybe.
So I don't get aquatic though.
Myke (27:47):
No, I don't get aquatic either.
I'm just like salt is making methink of the beach, because
there's also like a tropicalnessto it.
I don't really get a lot ofcoconut.
Ryan (27:58):
I don't either.
I don't get any of the notes Iwas about to say, even though
this isn't really like it's notcitrus heavy at all, but I will
say kind of like a citrusfragrance.
I think you can tell whenyou're smelling this.
It does smell like one of thosefragrances that if you did get
in the heat I feel like thisthing would be nuclear.
Myke (28:13):
Here's what I think about this fragrance, though I believe
that it's going to smell betterto somebody else in the air
than you smelling it on yourself.
Ryan (28:24):
Could be.
I'll do my COs test.
You may be right yeah.
Myke (28:28):
It's not bad.
You're right, it's not a badfragrance, but it does feel more
on the generic side because itjust smells like clean static.
Ryan (28:38):
Yeah Great, hey smells like clean static.
Yeah great, hey hit that.
Myke (28:41):
Yes, yeah, like the sweet, clean, static, but there is a
saltiness.
That is interesting, but Ithink for me, if I went around
smelling myself all the time,smelling like this, I'd get
overwhelmed.
Yeah, it's a little salty on myskin.
Were you going to skip it?
Sample it or buy?
Ryan (28:57):
it.
What are you going do, ryan?
Certifiable lock of the century, skipping this, I won't even
feel bad.
They could drop this thing to30.
I wouldn't fucking pay for it,dude, really okay, I wouldn't
want it.
Yeah, I agree with you thatit's a skip okay, good, I was
like, hopefully I didn't makethat too anticlimactic, just
(29:18):
dropping it.
Myke (29:19):
Hearts like that, but fuck it no, I mean, it smells nice,
it smells generic I'm not sayingit smells bad, it does smell
nice and yes, it's just generic.
Ryan (29:29):
I just I'm not feeling it.
Myke (29:30):
But I think if you're young and you're either going to
school, you work in an office,you're going to be around people
.
I don't think this is a bad oneto get you know what?
Ryan (29:42):
You know what?
I bet you, why it has so manyhigh reviews is that this came
out in 2019.
This would have been at thestart of this kind of style of
fragrance.
It may have been interesting atthat time, half a decade ago,
yeah, but now it's like becausethat I feel like that profile
has been done a million timesnow I just the moment I it feels
(30:04):
similar to those, I'm just likenope, I'm out.
Myke (30:07):
I just don't like it I feel you, it's not bad, but it's
not groundbreaking, and I wishI could rewind to 2019 and maybe
it would have beengroundbreaking.
I remember smelling lamal forthe first time with you on
somebody else and I was likethat smells great.
You immediately knew what itwas.
Yeah, it had a signature kindof profile to it.
(30:28):
Do you feel like if you smelledthis on somebody walking by,
you'd be able to pinpointexactly what fragrance?
Ryan (30:34):
wouldn't have a clue, wouldn't have a clue what this
was, I would be like.
Is he wearing scandal?
Is he wearing that?
Is he wearing lamal?
Whatever the fucking ultra mall?
Is it?
This is that is it.
You know the fucking gun barrelone.
What's that?
Myke (30:47):
one called uh, wanted by night yeah, oh, I way prefer
wanted by night over this, no no, I do too.
Ryan (30:52):
I'm just saying, but there's a little similarity in
some of that stuff, so I'm justlike I wouldn't be able to pick
it out.
But yeah, the original one,absolutely.
The moment I smelled I was like.
I was like are you wearingoriginal lamar?
Myke (31:01):
because he was dj jamming, that's right yeah super nice
guy great guy and the partyloved him.
They fucking loved him, and weloved how he smelled and
everybody hated us.
Yeah, that was.
That was a hard one for us.
Ryan (31:22):
They fed us in the back of a fucking alley.
Yeah, with cold chicken.
Myke (31:29):
Yeah, you know what, save the rest of that story for the
lamal okay episode, the originalLamal episode.
Ryan (31:36):
Fuck them, dude, but yeah, okay.
Myke (31:39):
Well, there you go, guys.
I hope we didn't hurt anybody'sfeelings, because I know how
beloved the Lamal line ingeneral is.
Ryan (31:47):
It's so beloved, it's shockiness, and I can't wait to
do the original because I meanyou won't know, mike, but you
can already kind of tell I loveLamal, yeah.
Myke (32:00):
You'll find out, and until next time, spray it up, y'all.
