Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go hilariously wrong? That's exactly what happened to us, from tire troubles on the road to a close encounter with an impatient driver flaunting a "Cattitude" bumper sticker. Yet, this quirky adventure led us to an unexpected treasure at a department store: a sample of Tom Ford's latest fragrance, Bois Pacifique. We chat about our first impressions and take a nostalgic detour with a "one night stand" review of Van Cleef and Arpels Tsar, a scent that takes us back to the classic masculine vibes of yesteryear.

right tire.
Yuck, that was fun, yes, andnow you're riding around on a
donut.

the whole stuff.
Gotta catch them all, yeah, butafter we had the donut put on,

But my god, I was not in forthe sticker shock that I thought
I was going to be for tiresTires be expensive.
Long story short, we also madea positive out of the trip.
We went to our favorite storein the mall and saw one of our
favorite young ladies there andshe immediately ran up to us
(01:01):
while talking to anothercustomer and handed us two
carded samples of a brand newTom Ford Boise Pacific.
Geek, is that how you pronouncethat?
I fucked that up.

Grantico.
That's all I have to say.
That is a thing though.
Yeah, people not even smellingit, which now it's been out for
a couple of months, so you know,people have got a chance to
(01:41):
smell it.
But at that time it wasliterally the first comment that
people were just like I don'tlike this.
I haven't even smelled it yet,I just don't like it.
Ryan (01:50):

bumper sticker that saysCatitude on it.
I was like am.
Ryan (02:34):
I getting fucking punked out by a guy driving a Mercedes

Catitude bumper sticker.
Who puts a bumper sticker on afucking?
Myke (02:44):
Mercedes.
By the way, he's got to letpeople know he has cats and an
attitude God the guy was afucking clown.
Ryan (02:52):
I almost wanted to follow him through every red light and
as soon as it turned green, justfucking lay on it every fucking
time, dude.
Myke (02:59):
We don't have time for that.
We got to get back and smellTom Ford's.
Ryan (03:02):
And that's what we're going to do today.
But before we do, we got togive you that one night stand
review of the fragrance thatJonathan Bleep sent us.
Vintage decant of Van Cleef andArpels Zarr Hit the music.

.
Mm-hmm.
That is not the same Van Cleeffrom the Spaghetti Westerns.
What do you have to say aboutZar Eh?
Myke (03:42):

Yeah, it smelled old school.
Oh yeah, had that vintage vibeto it.
Oh yeah, I think for the rightperson it's good For me, it's
not.
It's.
You know, give me, I don't know, another 30-something years and
maybe Whenever I'm wearingcoveralls every day.
Ryan (04:01):

Myke (04:02):
And those like slip-on shoes every day.
You don't like that right there.
And those like slip-on shoes.
Oh, I love the slip-on shoes.
No, it smells dated.
It's not bad, it's cool.
It's a nice little trip downmemory lane.
It's a time capsule offragrance.
Ryan (04:15):
I did say it was dated.
I still agree with that, withyou, and I think I said it was
like a sample to like.
If you just really want this,you know it's about.
But I mean, later that night itwas smelling good to me.
Myke (04:26):
We played some pool, yeah and you were like, hey, what do
you think you're right?
Yeah, I was like it stillsmells like you know.
You're like I'm shocked, thisisn't you.
You don't like the soft, supplesweetness?
No, I'm not, for me at least, Ididn't't think it smelled bad.
Ryan (04:45):
It doesn't smell bad.
It does smell old school.
I think there's the rightperson out there.
You rock the hell out of thisshit.
It does smell good, but I'dstill say it's very much a
sample.
If you're just really wantingthe nostalgic vibe, not a wear
thing, and if you're just reallyhorny for it, you're honked up
then and yeah, get you a fullbottle of it, spend six hundred
(05:05):
dollars that's the difficultpart about it.
Myke (05:08):
How are you going to sample this?
You're gonna have to get a holdof jonathan bleep, yeah well,
there you go.
Ryan (05:12):
Mike didn't like it that much and I loved it, but for
only nostalgic reasons look, I'mnot saying I didn't like it,
I'm just saying it's not me.
Myke (05:22):
No, I think it smells cool .
You know, I wouldn't be shockedif we had some vintage brute
that smelled very similar man.
He crazy as hell Today is abrute day.
Ryan (05:36):
Okay, let's get into this new one.
I'm ready.
Let's get into it.

You stopped me from being anasshole to the young lady.
Myke (05:48):
That is right.
You want to give them thatscoop.
Ryan (05:53):
You do it because you kind of knew what she.
Myke (05:54):

So I'm a little off kilter .
Give me a fucking break, okay.
Myke (07:31):
Nobody's giving you a hard time about it.
Ryan (07:33):
This is unique, though I kind of like this.
Yeah, I don't know, there'ssomething almost kind of
chlorinated on the skin orsomething.
Myke (07:46):
It does smell very powdery , smells very clean, yeah, and a
very dry wood yeah, yeah,you're hitting something there

smells like.
Just imagine uh-huh dry wood.

It's been sanded down, it'snice and smooth, and you powder
it up.
Powder it up, yeah, and it'sclean.
And then you just run your nosedown it and that, my friends,
is Bois Pacifique.
Ryan (08:30):
I don't hate it, but it does smell eccentric.
Is that the right, maybeterminology for this one?
Myke (08:36):
Yeah, if you've been sniffing fragrances for a while,
this kind of has that AndyTower vibe?
Hmm, okay, the Ado Desert toMoroccan or whatever it is.
I think you're onto something.
You know that vibe?
Yeah, I feel the vibe Veryclean, dry wood powder.
I like it more on the testerstrip than my hand.
(08:58):
Okay, let me go to the testerstrip.
Here we go.
Ryan (09:02):
Yeah, it smells on the hand something kind of weird,
almost chemically, to me.
Myke (09:09):
I don't know, I don't know it doesn't smell good on the
hand, but I get what you'resaying.
It has a certain almostsourness to it.
Yeah, it's, it's not vibing,but it's kind of it's almost
smells metallic-y.
Yes, okay, absolutely.
I just pointed at him reallyfirmly.
Yeah, you were like pew, yougave me like finger guns, pew.
Ryan (09:28):
You're right, just not that whack.
When I did it, mine was waycooler, oh yeah was it?
Myke (09:34):
Well, we need to get back to doing video of these episodes
, just so people could seeyou're a fucking liar and it
looked so dumb.
Ryan (09:45):
You want to know the price and popularity on this bad boy.
Myke (09:48):

Close 240.
Fuck, guess what a hundred milis 210.
Close 240.

You were off by $30 on boththose, that's so weird?
Myke (11:40):
Well, that's the inflation we're experiencing.
What's a carton of eggs?
Usually Five bucks.
No, it's 35 bucks.
Ryan (11:49):
Now there's like some crazy standoff.
It's all like we're doingtariffs and everybody else is
like, fuck you, we're doingtariffs, yeah exactly.
Myke (11:58):
We're gonna retaliate with tariffs on your tariffs.
Ryan (12:02):
It's a goddamn south park episode dude.
It's insane.
Meanwhile, we're all justtrying to survive riding around
on a goddamn donut.
Myke (12:10):
Yeah, smelling the boy pacifique, you know what?
Ryan (12:13):
I'm kind of coming around to this Does this smell like a
ginger beer?
Myke (12:17):
No, what Really?
Oh, on the card.
Yes, you obsess over this carda lot.
Ryan (12:24):
I like a ginger beer smell .
There's something about thatSmells so good to me.
Myke (12:29):
Yes, you kind of get it, though I'm not crazy right, I do
, on the card, get what you'resaying.
It's very reminiscent of plumjaponais, which was also a Tom
Ford yeah, wow, but on the skindry, powdery.
Are you a fan of it being sodry, dry.
Well, when I cram my nose up init, it's a bit much, but when I
(12:54):
give it a little bit of adistance, which most people will
, it's pretty good.
Okay, I'm kind of liking it.
Ryan (13:01):
Who do you think would wear something like this?
Hmm, who's able to pull thisoff flawlessly?
No issues Flawlessly.
Myke (13:11):
It's fucking them.
You know, when I smell this,maybe I just got them on the
brain.
Okay, because as of today it isexactly two weeks till I get on
that aeroplane and go to Milan.
Okay, I would like to seesomebody like Tony wearing this.
This would fit his vibe.
(13:33):
Yeah, kind of soft-spoken, verypolite, but very masculine
Dude's, a fucking boxer guys.
Yeah, very masculine, veryproper, but there's a certain
quiet mystique to it, a littledanger to it, maybe.
Yeah, maybe Clean cut, butdangerous.
Ryan (13:54):
Knock your freaking teeth out and then help you up.
Myke (13:59):
Yeah, kind of like how they made jake gyllenhaal's
character on the new roadhouseyeah, I didn't like it did you
like it.
Ryan (14:08):
It felt very cheesy I'm just waiting for the next thing,
for Hollywood to remake.
They're remaking everything,aren't they doing a new
Labyrinth?
Yeah, that's Robert Eggers.
I mean, that has a chance.
It's Robert Eggers, that'sgreat.
But I don't know, dude, doeslife suck for this generation of
(14:29):
people?
Is all we're going to get isfucking rehashes of everything
in our life.
Myke (14:35):
Well is that necessarily making life suck?
I mean, there's a millionthings, I guess.
I think that life is hard andyou choose to decide.
Does it suck or does thepurpose of life give it enough
meaning to where it's enjoyable,like think about the video
(14:58):
games that you've played, wherethere's a level that's extremely
fucking difficult and you die athousand times.
Ryan (15:12):
But there's enjoyment out of you know, progressing and
growing and attaining somethingnew.
I think we'd both say thatfucking level.
Myke (15:15):
Oh yeah, the hospital underground of Well.
Getting down there first, Wellyeah, and then the Rat King of
Last of.
Ryan (15:22):
Us Part Two yeah, so grueling.
And it's one of those times youfinish this level.
It takes forever, like 30minutes, to finish that one
level.
And then you're like, oh God, Ifinally get what.
I get something easy now.
And it's like, no, it just gotharder.
Myke (15:37):
Tenfold and they're like and this is real life, but it
was actually very memorable.
We loved it for that.
Exactly that's what I'm talkingabout.
I say this a lot to Ryan Lifeis going to be hard.
You pick what hard it's goingto be Dieting, exercising,
exercising that's hard.
But you know what else is hardbeing overweight and having your
(15:58):
back and your knees hurt allthe fucking time and feeling
miserable.
And then you know you eat thewrong thing and you make
yourself fucking nauseous andsick all day.
I mean, it's hard either way.
Yeah, there's pain and sweat,but which hard do you want?
Probably the healthier one?
Yeah, exactly.
(16:19):
So that's where I'm going to gowith this.
I think life is going to behard, absolutely, but does it
have to suck?
Ryan (16:25):
no, it depends on your perspective well, mike, maybe
I'll have your perspective oneday.
Myke (16:30):
Maybe that brain always empty, only available for
instantaneous uh, knowledge,yeah I have to work really hard
to think upon things past orfuture.
Yeah, I'm very in the present.
Maybe that's because I don'thave the inner monologue and the
you know my mind running downthrough rabbit holes yeah, mine
(16:52):
goes fucking 50 different placesEvery second of the day, yeah.
I'll be talking to you and I cantell that you're thinking about
three other things.
While I'm talking to you, swearto God, I cannot help it.
And you'll say my kid waseating sushi last night.
And I immediately picture yourkid and I think immediately what
the sushi she had looks like onthe plate.
(17:14):
And and I'm just like you know,um, illustrating the, the
narrative that you're giving me.
Yeah, me.
Ryan (17:21):
I'm taking what I'm illustrating, that.
But I'm also illustrating liketwo bad things happening to me
in my life.
Myke (17:27):
Maybe one good thing and like in your mind you're also
talking to yourself going oh,maybe if this and that right oh
yeah, that's how I might begoing.
Ryan (17:34):
hey, you what?
Maybe at lunchtime me and Mikecan go get those $10
cheeseburgers.
Yeah, I do love a $10cheeseburger.
We got a place that's got apretty bad ass cheeseburger.
But back to this burger wedigress.
This is very dry, but I'm reallyliking it on the tester strip.
It does kind of remind me of aginger beer, kind of.
(17:54):
Briefly going over the notes,top notes, cardi's mom, here's
the one that throws me off.
What the fuck is that one?
I clicked it on accident, butuh oh, curcuma, is that like no
human well, no, I clicked thewrong one.
Oh, this one, sorry, sorry guys.
Myke (18:10):
Uh, I wouldn't even know how to pronounce it Exactly
Akigala wood, yeah.
Ryan (18:15):
Woods and mosses Says its profile is a synthetic molecule
reminiscent of patchouli with ahint of pepper and fine argo
wood.
Myke (18:25):
Okay, you get it now.
Yeah, that kind of makes sense.
Gives it that earthy sort ofquality.
Ryan (18:32):
Yeah, so it's got turmeric , frankincense, oak just
straight up oak like oak treeiris, white, sandalwood, cedar,
amber, vanilla.
So there is like a lot of woodup in this and I can tell it is
like very dry woodsy, like youwere saying early on.
I can't hate it.
Myke (18:49):
It smells unique, yes, but at the same time I feel like
we've smelled three or fourfragrances that in a blind test
I couldn't pick this one outfrom.
Really, absolutely, this one,yeah, hmm, Interesting, okay,
guaranteed.
You probably don't have them inyour collection.
I know you for sure don't.
But I'm just saying in general,the majority vote out there is
(19:12):
not going to have.
So if you trust Tom Ford andyou want to go that route, go
that route.
You want to get an Andy Tower,you can go that route.
Ryan (19:20):
Something makes me like this.
Myke (19:21):
It's nice.
I am not denying that it isinteresting.
Ryan (19:27):
Does it make you want to skip it?
Myke (19:29):
Sample it or buy it.
What are you going to do, Ryan?
Ryan (19:35):
I'm going to sample this some more.
When we were at the store today, when we were handing this, you
sprayed on.
I thought we smelled it before,but we were just like wow, it
blew us away.
Yeah.
Myke (19:45):
Or do our own Right.
Yeah, not the parfum.
Ryan (19:48):
Just do our own and it was very woodsy but very kind of
elegant and it wouldn't dry likethis.
But I smell this now and it'slike part of that and part
ginger beer and so it's reallyunique to me, like I really am
liking this a lot.
Okay, all to say, this isdefinitely a hard sample for me
(20:10):
because of the price, the priceand it is so dry.
Sometimes I feel like thatmight, I wouldn't maybe like
having that on me, yeah, but youknow, wear it for a bit.
I need to try it out and just Iwant to sample a little bit
more and see what I think,because this is, there's
something to this man yeah, Ithink, honestly, this is an
(20:30):
interesting fragrance to wear inthe colder weather.
Myke (20:34):
If you're trying to get away with like a super clean, I
think this one would beinteresting.
If it's too warm, this wouldreally kind of like choke me out
.
It would be overwhelmingbecause of how dry and powdery
it smells.
Yeah, so for that I would sayI'd like to sample it.
Cold weather I'd like to get agood wearing on this, like
(20:55):
really wear it, but for theprice there's got to be
something out there, one ofthose other fragrances that is a
little more affordable.
Because the concern I have isTom Ford's noticeable drop in
longevity, even over the timeperiod of us doing this podcast.
Yeah, and now he's completelysold the whole damn thing.
(21:16):
Really, did he really?
Yeah, did I remember that?
Yeah, and now he's completelysold the whole damn thing.
Really, I didn't.
Ryan (21:19):
Did he really?
Yeah, did I remember that?
Yeah, he sold the whole thingprobably to Estee Lauder.
When are they going to cut us acheck for this podcast when
they want to buy this piece ofshit out?
Myke (21:30):
Probably never if I had to guess.
Ryan (21:35):
By the way, young lady at the store said she turned to the
one.
Myke (21:39):
Yeah, there's like a new guy there.
Ryan (21:40):
She goes hey, by the way, these are these guys that had
the this Cologne podcast guys.
Yeah, and he did the whole likeoh yeah.
Myke (21:49):
Yeah, great Jeff heard of y'all.
I'm like dude we fucking suckedon.
Ryan (22:00):
You don't have to pretend it's fine, we're not gonna get
our villains.
Myke (22:02):
We're literally in here begging you for free d camps
okay, it's like our own familyhasn't even heard of our podcast
.
Some stranger working at thefragrance counter.
Ryan (22:12):
It's fine he was nice too.
Myke (22:15):
I just uh, I thought this shit was funny we're gonna sit
down with tony chris and steveall together one loud fucking
episode and we're gonna talkabout last year's assance.
This coming trip, which, whenwe record this, it will be less
than a week fuck, before a sans,we're gonna have an episode
(22:41):
with all of them.
We're gonna talk about what'scoming up.
Look, we have been moreprepared this year for this
coming a sans than we've everbeen in the past like you, the
group of you together.
Ryan (22:51):
You're talking about me and you no.
I'm talking about the groupokay, I was like me and you.
We're not prepared at all.
Myke (22:56):
What the fuck are you talking about, dude?
I don't even have the rightunderwear picked out.
I'm just saying as far as thegroup's concerned, because
normally we're like kind ofpalling around really trying to
figure out like what parties arehosted that evening, where
we're going to get to.
Now we've already been, andmost of the time we have to
crash them and sneak in, and nowwe're actually getting invites
(23:18):
and stuff.
Ryan (23:19):
Yeah, so a certain one reached out today.
Myke (23:23):
That's right.
We are getting invites, notjust.
I mean, it's one thing you know, chris and Tony, those guys are
, you know, they're legends,right, yeah, they're important.
Ryan (23:33):
Are you going to frame the invite?
Myke (23:35):
No.
Okay, yeah, they're importantare you gonna frame the invite?
Ryan (23:38):
no, okay, but you know I was included in a list of
content creators damn wild god,I'm gonna laugh my ass off if
you get locked out of all prettymuch all of them, I would love
that.
Myke (23:51):
I mean, it would be bad, but it would also be hilarious.
Just like a, just like areality check for me, like, hey,
let's not get too cocky aboutthis piece of shit podcast
you're doing.
Ryan (24:04):
Yeah, last time you were there, people just kept throwing
you their keys to their car.
Myke (24:07):
Yeah, wow, Thought I was valet.
I'm like I don't know how toread kilometers.
Ryan (24:16):
Which, by the way, am I part of this episode that's
coming up.
Myke (24:19):
I figure you should be.
You can mediate the whole thing.
Worst case.
Ryan (24:23):
I feel like I'm just going to be like a fifth wheel over
here.
Dude, yeah that sounds terrible.
Myke (24:29):
You don't want to be a part of it, you just want to
skip that day.
Ryan (24:32):
No, no.
I mean I'll show up and say hiand be in the group, but I'm not
going to talk about anything.
You guys are the ones thatexperience all this shit.
Myke (24:40):
Yeah, but you could ask questions, you could be the
audience's perspective, oh goodpoint.
Ryan (24:45):
I'll think of some questions.
Okay, Some really goodquestions.
Hmm, I'm just kidding.
He's like he's not going tothink of a damn question Last
minute.
I'll come in here.
Myke (24:58):
And you'll be like fielding me, like, hey, what
would be a couple of goodquestions to ask, and then
you'll play them off like it wasyour idea.
Oh man, we had a client onetime.
This, actually this was whenyou and I really got heated for
a moment.
Really, yeah, remember, becausewe were working on a client.
It was like, all right, ryan,tomorrow's your day, research
(25:18):
and development.
Oh yeah, and Ryan showed up anddid the whole dog ate my
homework sort of a spiel.
Oh yeah, I still don't agreewith that, but go ahead.
You basically did the thingwhere, instead of bringing any
knowledge or facts to the table,you just asked a couple of like
(25:38):
generic questions.
And then you're like Iparticipated in that and I was
like uh-uh.
Ryan (25:47):
In my head it did not play out like that, but you were not
happy, were you?
Myke (25:53):
No, I was not.
Ryan (25:56):
We made up, but that was a big one for us I think
sometimes there's a I don't know, maybe it's a hiccup in
communication or I don't know.
Maybe you just read medifferently sometimes because I
really felt like I was bringingsome a-game that day.
Myke (26:11):
Really, that's the scary part yeah, that is a scary part,
because you literally askedquestions, but I was like okay,
are you being free right now?
Yeah, go ahead.
No, I was.
He's so pissed Dude.
I'm over it now, but in themoment because we had met with
(26:32):
this client a couple of timesand Ryan and I play different
roles yeah, and so I broughteverything to the table.
The whole time I'm organizingthe back end.
We have a shared conferencething where I'm uploading
information, I'm laying outstructures of here's how this
will play out, and then, withthe client, I'm telling them
(26:54):
this is how you're going toorganize and pick these
categories and this is astrategy we're going with, and
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then they go alright, ryan,now it's your day and you're
going to give us market researchand you're like so what
keywords?
You just asked a couplequestions.
Ryan (27:12):
I think I had trouble with because it was something I was
totally not familiar with, whichis not an excuse.
But for some reason, he knows,every time we leave any other
client meeting in the world, weimmediately get in the car and
we're just pow-wowing shit backand forth Like we're figuring
out things you know what I meanLike and I'm super sleuthing and
fine, like we're digging deep,and then that one just did not
(27:35):
click with me for some reason.
Myke (27:43):
I'm starting to remember now.
I was pretty bad on that.
One sad part is, you know, 90of the listeners clicked off
before we got it for you, youracknowledgement of this.
Yeah, we had a rough day afterthat because I was really
frustrated because I was like Ifelt that I and the client were
disrespected and you know youmade good on it, but I was like,
uh, I was heated yeah, it wasall right there's nothing that
(28:09):
like infuriates me more thanwhen also somebody downplays,
how upset you are oh, so what soI'm making?
you mad now?
No, no, no.
But in the moment you were likeit's not a big deal, you just
kept doing that, Like it's fine,it's not a big deal, who cares?
You know, I'm like I fuckingcare Me.
(28:29):
Who cares Me?
I care.
Ryan (28:39):
God, I know we said it many episodes ago, but god damn,
we did a Star Wars wedding andthey had a lightsaber exit and
he comes over and he's like Ifucking hope you got it.
And you're like hey, trust me,I got it but I accidentally hit
stop on the recorder, thinking Iwas hitting record on it, and I
(29:03):
didn't get it.
Myke (29:04):
We didn't get a damn thing on that exit, mine was all out
of focus and ryan's was of hisfeet the whole time.
Dude it was.
It would like be like oh man,that one's gonna be a good one,
and then you hear like thecamera just rustling around by
and it's like, oh, here theycome, here they go yeah, I'll
(29:26):
play that one off.
Ryan (29:26):
So I'm like dude, this ain't a fucking big deal, it's
gonna work out.
It ain't no thing, it's justthe exit to their fucking
wedding which, by the way it didit didn't work out because
they're divorced now yeah, thatis true, yeah see I was right.
Yeah, it wasn't a big deal.
Myke (29:42):
It's amazing, when, uh, you fail on a delivering you
know heirlooms of their specialday how people just forget to
stay married oh, I'm theresponsible party.
Ryan (29:55):
Yeah, for sure redundancy.
That's what we need in life anduntil next time, spray it up
y'all.
hello everybody, welcome to the cologne podcast I'm mike,
I'm ryan.
Myke (00:08):
We're two best friends.
We're going on a fragrancejourney smelling relatively new
tom fords, and giving you ouruneducated opinion, we went to
town today.
Ryan (00:18):
Yes, I found out, I got a couple of nails in my front
right tire.
Yuck, that was fun, yes, andnow you're riding around on a
donut.
I am because I'm contemplating,because I'm I don't want to buy
just one tire, so I'm like I'vegot to let he wants to collect
the whole stuff.
Gotta catch them all, yeah, butafter we had the donut put on,
(00:40):
uh, from discount tire also nicepeople.
But my god, I was not in forthe sticker shock that I thought
I was going to be for tiresTires be expensive.
Long story short, we also madea positive out of the trip.
We went to our favorite storein the mall and saw one of our
favorite young ladies there andshe immediately ran up to us
(01:01):
while talking to anothercustomer and handed us two
carded samples of a brand newTom Ford Boise Pacific.
Geek, is that how you pronouncethat?
I fucked that up.
Myke (01:12):
You can say it that way, or you could say Boise Pacific
that sounds better.
Ryan (01:16):
Let's roll with that Boise Pacific.
Myke (01:20):
Let me tell you what AFC Croatian has to say about this
brand new Tom Ford.
Go for it.
Let me tell you what AFCCroatian has to say about this
brand new Tom Ford.
Go for it.
What a surprise.
A brand new release immediatelygetting downvoted on Frank
Grantico.
That's all I have to say.
That is a thing though.
Yeah, people not even smellingit, which now it's been out for
a couple of months, so you know,people have got a chance to
(01:41):
smell it.
But at that time it wasliterally the first comment that
people were just like I don'tlike this.
I haven't even smelled it yet,I just don't like it.
Ryan (01:50):
So wild?
They just can't let somethingbe fun, can they no?
It just speaks to the state offragcom Also talking about
fragile people, let me tell youthis too On our way back from
town, we pull out of sam's andthere's a red light, yes, and
(02:13):
I'm waiting there patiently andthe light goes green.
Uh-huh, you know, just somebodyhad to freaking honk, right
behind you, the person behindyou.
It's been green less than twoseconds less than two seconds
and michael's like good.
Myke (02:24):
God, who's in such a fucking hurry?
Ryan (02:27):
behind us.
Myke (02:28):
And then they whip out in front and it's some dude with a
bumper sticker that saysCatitude on it.
I was like am.
Ryan (02:34):
I getting fucking punked out by a guy driving a Mercedes
I don't know, was that anE-Class SUV, I don't know With a
Catitude bumper sticker.
Who puts a bumper sticker on afucking?
Myke (02:44):
Mercedes.
By the way, he's got to letpeople know he has cats and an
attitude God the guy was afucking clown.
Ryan (02:52):
I almost wanted to follow him through every red light and
as soon as it turned green, justfucking lay on it every fucking
time, dude.
Myke (02:59):
We don't have time for that.
We got to get back and smellTom Ford's.
Ryan (03:02):
And that's what we're going to do today.
But before we do, we got togive you that one night stand
review of the fragrance thatJonathan Bleep sent us.
Vintage decant of Van Cleef andArpels Zarr Hit the music.
Myke (03:16):
Todd yeah.
Ryan (03:21):
One night stand review.
Well, mike, after staying inbed, spending the night or two,
yeah, with that old schoolmasculine, don't give a damn man
.
Mm-hmm.
That is not the same Van Cleeffrom the Spaghetti Westerns.
What do you have to say aboutZar Eh?
Myke (03:42):
it's not for me.
Yeah, it smelled old school.
Oh yeah, had that vintage vibeto it.
Oh yeah, I think for the rightperson it's good For me, it's
not.
It's.
You know, give me, I don't know, another 30-something years and
maybe Whenever I'm wearingcoveralls every day.
Ryan (04:01):
You don't like that, right there.
Myke (04:02):
And those like slip-on shoes every day.
You don't like that right there.
And those like slip-on shoes.
Oh, I love the slip-on shoes.
No, it smells dated.
It's not bad, it's cool.
It's a nice little trip downmemory lane.
It's a time capsule offragrance.
Ryan (04:15):
I did say it was dated.
I still agree with that, withyou, and I think I said it was
like a sample to like.
If you just really want this,you know it's about.
But I mean, later that night itwas smelling good to me.
Myke (04:26):
We played some pool, yeah and you were like, hey, what do
you think you're right?
Yeah, I was like it stillsmells like you know.
You're like I'm shocked, thisisn't you.
You don't like the soft, supplesweetness?
No, I'm not, for me at least, Ididn't't think it smelled bad.
Ryan (04:45):
It doesn't smell bad.
It does smell old school.
I think there's the rightperson out there.
You rock the hell out of thisshit.
It does smell good, but I'dstill say it's very much a
sample.
If you're just really wantingthe nostalgic vibe, not a wear
thing, and if you're just reallyhorny for it, you're honked up
then and yeah, get you a fullbottle of it, spend six hundred
(05:05):
dollars that's the difficultpart about it.
Myke (05:08):
How are you going to sample this?
You're gonna have to get a holdof jonathan bleep, yeah well,
there you go.
Ryan (05:12):
Mike didn't like it that much and I loved it, but for
only nostalgic reasons look, I'mnot saying I didn't like it,
I'm just saying it's not me.
Myke (05:22):
No, I think it smells cool .
You know, I wouldn't be shockedif we had some vintage brute
that smelled very similar man.
He crazy as hell Today is abrute day.
Ryan (05:36):
Okay, let's get into this new one.
I'm ready.
Let's get into it.
Mike, do the honors, becauseyou know what.
You stopped me from being anasshole to the young lady.
Myke (05:48):
That is right.
You want to give them thatscoop.
Ryan (05:53):
You do it because you kind of knew what she.
Myke (05:54):
I kind of vaguely heard what she said, and then I Just

of course we're celebritiesaround here and she just comes
out of the wings and hands usthe carded samples of this and

I didn't say anything.
No, I thought you said it wasrehashing something.

Wait, oh, that was when I read.
Sorry, that's my bad, that waswhen I read prior to the episode

Ryan (07:27):
So I'm a little off kilter .
Give me a fucking break, okay.
Myke (07:31):
Nobody's giving you a hard time about it.
Ryan (07:33):
This is unique, though I kind of like this.
Yeah, I don't know, there'ssomething almost kind of
chlorinated on the skin orsomething.
Myke (07:46):
It does smell very powdery , smells very clean, yeah, and a
very dry wood yeah, yeah,you're hitting something there

smells like.
Just imagine uh-huh dry wood.

It's been sanded down, it'snice and smooth, and you powder
it up.
Powder it up, yeah, and it'sclean.
And then you just run your nosedown it and that, my friends,
is Bois Pacifique.
Ryan (08:30):
I don't hate it, but it does smell eccentric.
Is that the right, maybeterminology for this one?
Myke (08:36):
Yeah, if you've been sniffing fragrances for a while,
this kind of has that AndyTower vibe?
Hmm, okay, the Ado Desert toMoroccan or whatever it is.
I think you're onto something.
You know that vibe?
Yeah, I feel the vibe Veryclean, dry wood powder.
I like it more on the testerstrip than my hand.
(08:58):
Okay, let me go to the testerstrip.
Here we go.
Ryan (09:02):
Yeah, it smells on the hand something kind of weird,
almost chemically, to me.
Myke (09:09):
I don't know, I don't know it doesn't smell good on the
hand, but I get what you'resaying.
It has a certain almostsourness to it.
Yeah, it's, it's not vibing,but it's kind of it's almost
smells metallic-y.
Yes, okay, absolutely.
I just pointed at him reallyfirmly.
Yeah, you were like pew, yougave me like finger guns, pew.
Ryan (09:28):
You're right, just not that whack.
When I did it, mine was waycooler, oh yeah was it?
Myke (09:34):
Well, we need to get back to doing video of these episodes

the elixir, and this one is likethe next flanker.
It's a flanker of the flankerand he did it.

Mm-hmm, it's Tom Ford, it'ssemi.
Myke (11:18):

Fuck.
Ryan (11:31):

Close 240.
Fuck, guess what a hundred milis 210.
Close 240.
240?
You were off by $30 on boththose, that's so weird?
Myke (11:40):
Well, that's the inflation we're experiencing.
What's a carton of eggs?
Usually Five bucks.
No, it's 35 bucks.
Ryan (11:49):
Now there's like some crazy standoff.
It's all like we're doingtariffs and everybody else is
like, fuck you, we're doingtariffs, yeah exactly.
Myke (11:58):
We're gonna retaliate with tariffs on your tariffs.
Ryan (12:02):
It's a goddamn south park episode dude.
It's insane.
Meanwhile, we're all justtrying to survive riding around
on a goddamn donut.
Myke (12:10):
Yeah, smelling the boy pacifique, you know what?
Ryan (12:13):
I'm kind of coming around to this Does this smell like a
ginger beer?
Myke (12:17):
No, what Really?
Oh, on the card.
Yes, you obsess over this carda lot.
Ryan (12:24):
I like a ginger beer smell .
There's something about thatSmells so good to me.
Myke (12:29):
Yes, you kind of get it, though I'm not crazy right, I do
, on the card, get what you'resaying.
It's very reminiscent of plumjaponais, which was also a Tom
Ford yeah, wow, but on the skindry, powdery.
Are you a fan of it being sodry, dry.
Well, when I cram my nose up init, it's a bit much, but when I
(12:54):
give it a little bit of adistance, which most people will
, it's pretty good.
Okay, I'm kind of liking it.
Ryan (13:01):
Who do you think would wear something like this?
Hmm, who's able to pull thisoff flawlessly?
No issues Flawlessly.
Myke (13:11):
It's fucking them.
You know, when I smell this,maybe I just got them on the
brain.
Okay, because as of today it isexactly two weeks till I get on
that aeroplane and go to Milan.
Okay, I would like to seesomebody like Tony wearing this.
This would fit his vibe.
(13:33):
Yeah, kind of soft-spoken, verypolite, but very masculine
Dude's, a fucking boxer guys.
Yeah, very masculine, veryproper, but there's a certain
quiet mystique to it, a littledanger to it, maybe.
Yeah, maybe Clean cut, butdangerous.
Ryan (13:54):
Knock your freaking teeth out and then help you up.
Myke (13:59):
Yeah, kind of like how they made jake gyllenhaal's
character on the new roadhouseyeah, I didn't like it did you
like it.
Ryan (14:08):
It felt very cheesy I'm just waiting for the next thing,
for Hollywood to remake.
They're remaking everything,aren't they doing a new
Labyrinth?
Yeah, that's Robert Eggers.
I mean, that has a chance.
It's Robert Eggers, that'sgreat.
But I don't know, dude, doeslife suck for this generation of
(14:29):
people?
Is all we're going to get isfucking rehashes of everything
in our life.
Myke (14:35):
Well is that necessarily making life suck?
I mean, there's a millionthings, I guess.
I think that life is hard andyou choose to decide.
Does it suck or does thepurpose of life give it enough
meaning to where it's enjoyable,like think about the video
(14:58):
games that you've played, wherethere's a level that's extremely
fucking difficult and you die athousand times.
Ryan (15:12):
But there's enjoyment out of you know, progressing and
growing and attaining somethingnew.
I think we'd both say thatfucking level.
Myke (15:15):
Oh yeah, the hospital underground of Well.
Getting down there first, Wellyeah, and then the Rat King of
Last of.
Ryan (15:22):
Us Part Two yeah, so grueling.
And it's one of those times youfinish this level.
It takes forever, like 30minutes, to finish that one
level.
And then you're like, oh God, Ifinally get what.
I get something easy now.
And it's like, no, it just gotharder.
Myke (15:37):
Tenfold and they're like and this is real life, but it
was actually very memorable.
We loved it for that.
Exactly that's what I'm talkingabout.
I say this a lot to Ryan Lifeis going to be hard.
You pick what hard it's goingto be Dieting, exercising,
exercising that's hard.
But you know what else is hardbeing overweight and having your
(15:58):
back and your knees hurt allthe fucking time and feeling
miserable.
And then you know you eat thewrong thing and you make
yourself fucking nauseous andsick all day.
I mean, it's hard either way.
Yeah, there's pain and sweat,but which hard do you want?
Probably the healthier one?
Yeah, exactly.
(16:19):
So that's where I'm going to gowith this.
I think life is going to behard, absolutely, but does it
have to suck?
Ryan (16:25):
no, it depends on your perspective well, mike, maybe
I'll have your perspective oneday.
Myke (16:30):
Maybe that brain always empty, only available for
instantaneous uh, knowledge,yeah I have to work really hard
to think upon things past orfuture.
Yeah, I'm very in the present.
Maybe that's because I don'thave the inner monologue and the
you know my mind running downthrough rabbit holes yeah, mine
(16:52):
goes fucking 50 different placesEvery second of the day, yeah.
I'll be talking to you and I cantell that you're thinking about
three other things.
While I'm talking to you, swearto God, I cannot help it.
And you'll say my kid waseating sushi last night.
And I immediately picture yourkid and I think immediately what
the sushi she had looks like onthe plate.
(17:14):
And and I'm just like you know,um, illustrating the, the
narrative that you're giving me.
Yeah, me.
Ryan (17:21):
I'm taking what I'm illustrating, that.
But I'm also illustrating liketwo bad things happening to me
in my life.
Myke (17:27):
Maybe one good thing and like in your mind you're also
talking to yourself going oh,maybe if this and that right oh
yeah, that's how I might begoing.
Ryan (17:34):
hey, you what?
Maybe at lunchtime me and Mikecan go get those $10
cheeseburgers.
Yeah, I do love a $10cheeseburger.
We got a place that's got apretty bad ass cheeseburger.
But back to this burger wedigress.
This is very dry, but I'm reallyliking it on the tester strip.
It does kind of remind me of aginger beer, kind of.
(17:54):
Briefly going over the notes,top notes, cardi's mom, here's
the one that throws me off.
What the fuck is that one?
I clicked it on accident, butuh oh, curcuma, is that like no
human well, no, I clicked thewrong one.
Oh, this one, sorry, sorry guys.
Myke (18:10):
Uh, I wouldn't even know how to pronounce it Exactly
Akigala wood, yeah.
Ryan (18:15):
Woods and mosses Says its profile is a synthetic molecule
reminiscent of patchouli with ahint of pepper and fine argo
wood.
Myke (18:25):
Okay, you get it now.
Yeah, that kind of makes sense.
Gives it that earthy sort ofquality.
Ryan (18:32):
Yeah, so it's got turmeric , frankincense, oak just
straight up oak like oak treeiris, white, sandalwood, cedar,
amber, vanilla.
So there is like a lot of woodup in this and I can tell it is
like very dry woodsy, like youwere saying early on.
I can't hate it.
Myke (18:49):
It smells unique, yes, but at the same time I feel like
we've smelled three or fourfragrances that in a blind test
I couldn't pick this one outfrom.
Really, absolutely, this one,yeah, hmm, Interesting, okay,
guaranteed.
You probably don't have them inyour collection.
I know you for sure don't.
But I'm just saying in general,the majority vote out there is
(19:12):
not going to have.
So if you trust Tom Ford andyou want to go that route, go
that route.
You want to get an Andy Tower,you can go that route.
Ryan (19:20):
Something makes me like this.
Myke (19:21):
It's nice.
I am not denying that it isinteresting.
Ryan (19:27):
Does it make you want to skip it?
Myke (19:29):
Sample it or buy it.
What are you going to do, Ryan?
Ryan (19:35):
I'm going to sample this some more.
When we were at the store today, when we were handing this, you
sprayed on.
I thought we smelled it before,but we were just like wow, it
blew us away.
Yeah.
Myke (19:45):
Or do our own Right.
Yeah, not the parfum.
Ryan (19:48):
Just do our own and it was very woodsy but very kind of
elegant and it wouldn't dry likethis.
But I smell this now and it'slike part of that and part
ginger beer and so it's reallyunique to me, like I really am
liking this a lot.
Okay, all to say, this isdefinitely a hard sample for me
(20:10):
because of the price, the priceand it is so dry.
Sometimes I feel like thatmight, I wouldn't maybe like
having that on me, yeah, but youknow, wear it for a bit.
I need to try it out and just Iwant to sample a little bit
more and see what I think,because this is, there's
something to this man yeah, Ithink, honestly, this is an
(20:30):
interesting fragrance to wear inthe colder weather.
Myke (20:34):
If you're trying to get away with like a super clean, I
think this one would beinteresting.
If it's too warm, this wouldreally kind of like choke me out
.
It would be overwhelmingbecause of how dry and powdery
it smells.
Yeah, so for that I would sayI'd like to sample it.
Cold weather I'd like to get agood wearing on this, like
(20:55):
really wear it, but for theprice there's got to be
something out there, one ofthose other fragrances that is a
little more affordable.
Because the concern I have isTom Ford's noticeable drop in
longevity, even over the timeperiod of us doing this podcast.
Yeah, and now he's completelysold the whole damn thing.
(21:16):
Really, did he really?
Yeah, did I remember that?
Yeah, and now he's completelysold the whole damn thing.
Really, I didn't.
Ryan (21:19):
Did he really?
Yeah, did I remember that?
Yeah, he sold the whole thingprobably to Estee Lauder.
When are they going to cut us acheck for this podcast when
they want to buy this piece ofshit out?
Myke (21:30):
Probably never if I had to guess.
Ryan (21:35):
By the way, young lady at the store said she turned to the
one.
Myke (21:39):
Yeah, there's like a new guy there.
Ryan (21:40):
She goes hey, by the way, these are these guys that had
the this Cologne podcast guys.
Yeah, and he did the whole likeoh yeah.
Myke (21:49):
Yeah, great Jeff heard of y'all.
I'm like dude we fucking suckedon.
Ryan (22:00):
You don't have to pretend it's fine, we're not gonna get
our villains.
Myke (22:02):
We're literally in here begging you for free d camps
okay, it's like our own familyhasn't even heard of our podcast
.
Some stranger working at thefragrance counter.
Ryan (22:12):
It's fine he was nice too.
Myke (22:15):
I just uh, I thought this shit was funny we're gonna sit
down with tony chris and steveall together one loud fucking
episode and we're gonna talkabout last year's assance.
This coming trip, which, whenwe record this, it will be less
than a week fuck, before a sans,we're gonna have an episode
(22:41):
with all of them.
We're gonna talk about what'scoming up.
Look, we have been moreprepared this year for this
coming a sans than we've everbeen in the past like you, the
group of you together.
Ryan (22:51):
You're talking about me and you no.
I'm talking about the groupokay, I was like me and you.
We're not prepared at all.
Myke (22:56):
What the fuck are you talking about, dude?
I don't even have the rightunderwear picked out.
I'm just saying as far as thegroup's concerned, because
normally we're like kind ofpalling around really trying to
figure out like what parties arehosted that evening, where
we're going to get to.
Now we've already been, andmost of the time we have to
crash them and sneak in, and nowwe're actually getting invites
(23:18):
and stuff.
Ryan (23:19):
Yeah, so a certain one reached out today.
Myke (23:23):
That's right.
We are getting invites, notjust.
I mean, it's one thing you know, chris and Tony, those guys are
, you know, they're legends,right, yeah, they're important.
Ryan (23:33):
Are you going to frame the invite?
Myke (23:35):
No.
Okay, yeah, they're importantare you gonna frame the invite?
Ryan (23:38):
no, okay, but you know I was included in a list of
content creators damn wild god,I'm gonna laugh my ass off if
you get locked out of all prettymuch all of them, I would love
that.
Myke (23:51):
I mean, it would be bad, but it would also be hilarious.
Just like a, just like areality check for me, like, hey,
let's not get too cocky aboutthis piece of shit podcast
you're doing.
Ryan (24:04):
Yeah, last time you were there, people just kept throwing
you their keys to their car.
Myke (24:07):
Yeah, wow, Thought I was valet.
I'm like I don't know how toread kilometers.
Ryan (24:16):
Which, by the way, am I part of this episode that's
coming up.
Myke (24:19):
I figure you should be.
You can mediate the whole thing.
Worst case.
Ryan (24:23):
I feel like I'm just going to be like a fifth wheel over
here.
Dude, yeah that sounds terrible.
Myke (24:29):
You don't want to be a part of it, you just want to
skip that day.
Ryan (24:32):
No, no.
I mean I'll show up and say hiand be in the group, but I'm not
going to talk about anything.
You guys are the ones thatexperience all this shit.
Myke (24:40):
Yeah, but you could ask questions, you could be the
audience's perspective, oh goodpoint.
Ryan (24:45):
I'll think of some questions.
Okay, Some really goodquestions.
Hmm, I'm just kidding.
He's like he's not going tothink of a damn question Last
minute.
I'll come in here.
Myke (24:58):
And you'll be like fielding me, like, hey, what
would be a couple of goodquestions to ask, and then
you'll play them off like it wasyour idea.
Oh man, we had a client onetime.
This, actually this was whenyou and I really got heated for
a moment.
Really, yeah, remember, becausewe were working on a client.
It was like, all right, ryan,tomorrow's your day, research
(25:18):
and development.
Oh yeah, and Ryan showed up anddid the whole dog ate my
homework sort of a spiel.
Oh yeah, I still don't agreewith that, but go ahead.
You basically did the thingwhere, instead of bringing any
knowledge or facts to the table,you just asked a couple of like
(25:38):
generic questions.
And then you're like Iparticipated in that and I was
like uh-uh.
Ryan (25:47):
In my head it did not play out like that, but you were not
happy, were you?
Myke (25:53):
No, I was not.
Ryan (25:56):
We made up, but that was a big one for us I think
sometimes there's a I don't know, maybe it's a hiccup in
communication or I don't know.
Maybe you just read medifferently sometimes because I
really felt like I was bringingsome a-game that day.
Myke (26:11):
Really, that's the scary part yeah, that is a scary part,
because you literally askedquestions, but I was like okay,
are you being free right now?
Yeah, go ahead.
No, I was.
He's so pissed Dude.
I'm over it now, but in themoment because we had met with
(26:32):
this client a couple of timesand Ryan and I play different
roles yeah, and so I broughteverything to the table.
The whole time I'm organizingthe back end.
We have a shared conferencething where I'm uploading
information, I'm laying outstructures of here's how this
will play out, and then, withthe client, I'm telling them
(26:54):
this is how you're going toorganize and pick these
categories and this is astrategy we're going with, and
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then they go alright, ryan,now it's your day and you're
going to give us market researchand you're like so what
keywords?
You just asked a couplequestions.
Ryan (27:12):
I think I had trouble with because it was something I was
totally not familiar with, whichis not an excuse.
But for some reason, he knows,every time we leave any other
client meeting in the world, weimmediately get in the car and
we're just pow-wowing shit backand forth Like we're figuring
out things you know what I meanLike and I'm super sleuthing and
fine, like we're digging deep,and then that one just did not
(27:35):
click with me for some reason.
Myke (27:43):
I'm starting to remember now.
I was pretty bad on that.
One sad part is, you know, 90of the listeners clicked off
before we got it for you, youracknowledgement of this.
Yeah, we had a rough day afterthat because I was really
frustrated because I was like Ifelt that I and the client were
disrespected and you know youmade good on it, but I was like,
uh, I was heated yeah, it wasall right there's nothing that
(28:09):
like infuriates me more thanwhen also somebody downplays,
how upset you are oh, so what soI'm making?
you mad now?
No, no, no.
But in the moment you were likeit's not a big deal, you just
kept doing that, Like it's fine,it's not a big deal, who cares?
You know, I'm like I fuckingcare Me.
(28:29):
Who cares Me?
I care.
Ryan (28:39):
God, I know we said it many episodes ago, but god damn,
we did a Star Wars wedding andthey had a lightsaber exit and
he comes over and he's like Ifucking hope you got it.
And you're like hey, trust me,I got it but I accidentally hit
stop on the recorder, thinking Iwas hitting record on it, and I
(29:03):
didn't get it.
Myke (29:04):
We didn't get a damn thing on that exit, mine was all out
of focus and ryan's was of hisfeet the whole time.
Dude it was.
It would like be like oh man,that one's gonna be a good one,
and then you hear like thecamera just rustling around by
and it's like, oh, here theycome, here they go yeah, I'll
(29:26):
play that one off.
Ryan (29:26):
So I'm like dude, this ain't a fucking big deal, it's
gonna work out.
It ain't no thing, it's justthe exit to their fucking
wedding which, by the way it didit didn't work out because
they're divorced now yeah, thatis true, yeah see I was right.
Yeah, it wasn't a big deal.
Myke (29:42):
It's amazing, when, uh, you fail on a delivering you
know heirlooms of their specialday how people just forget to
stay married oh, I'm theresponsible party.
Ryan (29:55):
Yeah, for sure redundancy.
That's what we need in life anduntil next time, spray it up
y'all.
