Myke (00:03):
hello everybody, welcome to the cologne podcast I'm mike
and I'm ryan and we're two bestfriends.
We're going on a fragrancejourney, giving you fragrance
opinions that are highlyuneducated hell.
Ryan (00:19):
Yeah, you know why we're so goddamn hype is because today
, you know me, your boy, it's inmy top three, it's probably my
top two and maybe my top one.
Come on, yeah, it's a new AquaDejo.
Aqua Dejo, that's right byGiorgio Armani.
Myke (00:45):
This is the elixir.
What's the full name of this?
Just hit them right by GiorgioArmani.
This is the elixir.
What's the full name of this?
Just hit them with it.
Ryan (00:48):
Giorgio Armani.
Acqua Di Gio Elixir.
Myke (00:52):
Oof and I've got a few reviews.
They're short and sweet, so Ijust combined a few of them.
Ryan (00:58):
This is one of those ones that needs a couple of good
reviews, right?
Oh for sure, yeah, little goodreviews, right.
Myke (01:01):
Yeah, oh for sure.
Yeah, plenty of good ones.
Yeah, alright, let's hear howexcited everyone is about this
fragrance, how good thisfragrance is.
Hell, yeah, come on.
Beavis Bontz says I roll toinfinity.
Mmm LVC says aqua de poo andSqueeze Nose says this whole
(01:26):
line should not exist in 2025.
Fuck you.
Ryan (01:30):
No, I'll tell you which one don't exist.
That's that Armani Code.
That one's garbage.
Really, you're going to talkshit about Aqua De Geo, the
compliment of compliment gettersthat I've worn my entire life.
Myke (01:44):
You've gotten many a compliment.
He's seen it, he's witnessed itin person.
He seems to I seen it.
I get pissed every time too.
I'm like you, son of a bitch.
I'm like they don't know.
I'm wearing a ventus right now.
You know that meme where it'slike the guy in the corner.
They don't know.
Ryan (02:03):
I'm wearing a vintage batch of aventus it has
seriously been a staple in mycollection.
I've always rocked the edt forthe longest time and then I
moved on to the profumo rightand then, of course, I
discontinued that and I triedthe parfum which is close enough
to it.
We've had mixed reviews aboutthis actually it's true, yeah,
(02:25):
yeah, we've actually had avalued patreon write in about
this I'm just gonna read it Iwish you would we'll leave out
the name, because I uh wrotethis and then a couple weeks
later they were like I'm sorryfor giving you such a rant.
Yeah I was like hey, it's fine.
He was like I think I'm crazy.
I'm like no, we'll see.
You're like maybe thisgentleman said if you haven't
(02:50):
tried aqua dejo elixir yet, maythese words be the lube before
armani bends you over.
Oof.
The best part of the whole damnthing is this atomizer.
We don't have that.
We got a little decant.
The bottle feels like it'smissing a key chain.
It's so damn small.
We can absolutely attest tothat.
(03:11):
Yes, it is pathetically small.
Myke (03:14):
It's a 50 mil bottle for 100 mil pricing, yeah, which
we'll get into later in ourprice and popularity segment
exactly, and so are its clackers, if it had any at all.
Ryan (03:27):
It smells good, but they could have done so much more
with it.
I'm not thinking it's theperfumer's fault.
I think it's alberto morales ohyeah, that guy, because he's
created some incredible things.
Myke (03:41):
Most notably stuff for jeremy fragrance.
Did he just do a new one forJeremy?
Ryan (03:46):
No, but in the past he did , oh, okay, yeah, jeremy's new
one is like 600 bones.
I was being cheeky.
Myke (03:51):
What was it called Like super testosterone or something
like that.
Super, yeah, super sex themanliest, or something.
I think yeah, something likethat.
Ryan (04:06):
That's exactly what it the hell had Armani picked this one
to go with.
I'm so disappointed, damn it.
Hope you have a betterexperience.
Hell, I hope you love it.
Myke (04:10):
Sorry for venting which, by the way, we love the vents
you guys just vented up with usSend it our way.
Ryan (04:15):
Yeah, yeah, send the vents to us.
And you know we had a communitychat.
If you're in the Patreon, youknow all about it.
If you're not, go there.
We got a community chat.
We've got five different chatsthat you can be a part of.
By the way, yeah, I wish Icould find it.
Probably can't find it now.
Why don't I ever prepare?
Mike, this is you.
Is that my weakness?
(04:35):
Is that my One of the many?
Yeah, is that my incredibleHulk trait?
Myke (04:48):
That's my thing.
I'm.
I'm never prepared.
You know, maybe, when thingsactually need you to be prepared
, you're not.
But then you're so neuroticyou're planning out 19 different
scenarios that may never happen.
Ryan (04:55):
You're preparing your life for yeah, I don't ever
understand that so this one I'llsay out there because he posted
in the community chat.
So, followed by that, weeventually got this in our
community chat.
One of our listeners who'sawesome and patron, stephen Dole
, wrote I highly recommend this,at least a sample.
The price is the sticking point, but I managed to get mine for
(05:18):
under 100 euros.
This is right there withPerfumo to me, which I love,
that one you do.
I think the name Elixir throwssome bad juju on this release.
Oh no, but try it.
Everyone I've shown it to inall caps here loves it.
Oh OK, the online reviews areinsane.
(05:40):
People just seem to want todislike it.
But this is a really goodrelease and I will say the
elixir name absolutely throwssome bad juju on it yeah, it's
just being overplayed right nowliterally, when we got this
decant, we got like four or fiveother ones.
We showed you guys on thepatreon, yeah, and there's like
two more that have the elixirname on it, and the one that was
(06:02):
the craziest was um god, what'sthe azaro one?
Myke (06:06):
yeah, the azaro is like how's like the most wanted
forever by night, elixir supremeor something like that.
Ryan (06:12):
It's just this ridiculous yeah and we're like god damn, of
course everybody's.
It is annoying to hear thateverybody's got the elixir.
Yeah, so we'll see.
That remains to be seen, but weneed to get into our one night
stand stop what I think we needto talk about this.
Myke (06:29):
This is important.
We talked about last episodeand this is this.
Is it exactly?
You remember last episode?
We were like, yeah, but weweren't super fanboys, weren't
in love with the original toyour own parfum.
Yeah, so we're not upset thatit is a departure.
But you were like what if theyreformulated lunarosa carbon?
(06:52):
How would you feel?
And I was like, oh, I'd befucking crushed.
So how are you gonna feel aboutfragrance?
Because this is a belovedfragrance of yours.
Ryan (07:06):
Well, I mean, if it just feels like the Parfum or the
Perfumo, I'll just be like Iwon't ever buy this, I'll just
get those right, yeah.
Now if it's just a straight up,redone to hell, to where it's
unrecognizable, yeah, I'dprobably be pretty pissed,
especially at what we know theprice point is for that little
thing.
You know what I mean, yeah.
Myke (07:26):
So what do you think it is going to be like?
Ryan (07:32):
I'm going in with an open mind and open heart.
Really, I think it's going tobe good.
I really do.
Myke (07:38):
I just don't feel the investment in you.
Ryan (07:40):
The only aqua dejo that I really don't like and I may get
crucified here I don't like theprofundo part of the line.
Oh, I thought we smelled oneand really liked it though I
like light kind of the opening,the lights or whatever it's
called.
Yeah, I like kind of theopening, but I'm not really in
love with it after that.
It's just like eh, it's okay.
Myke (07:58):
Well, we'll get more into that after our one-night stand
review of Dior's new Dior Home.
Ryan (08:06):
Parfum 2025.
Myke (08:09):
Hit the music.
Ryan (08:10):
Todd.
Myke (08:16):
Yeah, home parfum 2025 hit the music todd.
Ryan (08:18):
Yeah, one night stand review.
Well, ryan, after spending thenight with dior home parfum 2025
what do you have to say aboutit?
You first, buddy, you know what.
I actually liked it a lot.
Yeah, I did too.
I liked it a lot and, true towhat you're saying, we didn't
(08:39):
have this huge investment intothe past of it, right, so for us
it was really good, pretty nice, yeah.
Myke (08:45):
I have to say it was pretty damn nice.
Yeah, it was well liked aroundthe people that I've showed as
well.
So I think it's just our strongallegiances to the past.
Yeah, I don't think it's a badthing, I think it's perfectly
fine to kind of have thesetetherings sentimentally to the
past, yeah, but might bestifling your ability to really
(09:08):
enjoy new shit absolutely andsmell that because that's been
on there.
Ryan (09:12):
What a week still strong.
Myke (09:15):
So longevity is great and it smells good and it does
remind me of dior home, thatkind of line and stuff.
Again, you guys can thinkwhatever you want about us
because, you're right, we're notthe super knowledgeable,
obsessed diorm guys.
Yeah, so we don't have thatstrong allegiance to it and
(09:36):
because of that, you know, youmay think that we're flawed in
our opinion and that's okay, youknow why?
Because fragrance is subjectiveand you shouldn't even care
about what we think about it.
You should smell it foryourself.
100.
You know what I hate seeingwhat?
Yeah, I'll be on reddit andI'll see somebody in the rolex
subreddit and they have justspent 17 000 on a watch.
(09:59):
They send a picture and they go.
What do we think about it?
Oh yeah, and I'm like, you justspent the money.
Don't let somebody make youfeel like a fool if you love it
great, absolutely, especially ifyou spent that kind of money.
Ryan (10:15):
Why do?
Myke (10:16):
you care what other people think about something.
If you like it, enjoy it.
You know what I mean.
But I I hate seeing thatbecause inevitably some asshole
out there, faceless internethandle is gonna trash it just to
be a prick one day.
And it's like don't setyourself up for that.
If you fall in love withsomething, don't go shallow.
(10:37):
How wants a gal?
Just enjoy what you got.
Ryan (10:41):
By the way, do you think you're the one that got the
compliment?
I think you're the one that gotthe compliment today, oh so.
Myke (10:47):
Ryan and I.
Well, I had to run some errandsthis morning.
Ryan joined me and so we drivethrough the Starbucks, local
Starbucks.
You're driving, you're in thedriver's seat, I'm driving yeah,
big old truck.
We pull up identical drinks, hepasses them and then, as we're
leaving, the guy in the windowgoes hey, I really like that
(11:10):
watch, it's a great lookingwatch.
Now Ryan's wearing an actualRolex and I'm wearing like an
$80 homage and I, because ofthat, in my mind, I just got
always talking to you, ryan, andwe kind of look, we both look
back at the guy and everybody'sconfused and I just drive off.
It was really awkward.
(11:31):
It was so awkward because I waslike I can't tell if he's
saying that to me or to ryan,and you said I think it was you,
it was definitely you.
And then I was like how doesthat make you feel you fucking
loser?
Ryan (11:43):
well, if I'd spent money on it, I guess I'd feel pretty
bad, yeah so let me put thatcaveat out right.
It was my dad dad's watch, yeah, and so and it is.
It's a great.
It's a great watch.
Yeah, it's a beautiful watchand it's a highly sought after
era of a Submariner.
But, that being said, that thewatch that you wear always gets
compliments and I don't wearthis all the time.
(12:05):
I'm always wearing my, mytwo-tone Pagani Right, we walk
around Pagani bros with like$100 and under watches.
Myke (12:13):
Yeah, but man, I've gotten so many compliments on this
watch.
Ryan (12:18):
It's seriously a beautiful watch and funny enough to tell
I know we're getting on watchesfor a second.
Me and Mike were in Dallas theother day.
We went to the scent roombriefly and we stopped by.
We have a chain here called HEB.
We stopped by there and we'vestopped by.
We have a chain here called heb.
We stopped by then we'rechecking out.
One of the guys bagging thegroceries is wearing a nice
watch yeah, and the cashier girlshe's like is that real?
Myke (12:37):
talking to the guy bagging yeah, and he's like what do you
mean?
It's?
It's a working watch.
Yeah, she goes.
Yeah, but is it real he goes?
What the hell are you talkingabout?
He's like it's a fossil watch.
She's like he's like I'mbagging groceries at hub.
You know what I mean.
(13:00):
And I looked at and it's a.
Ryan (13:03):
It was a badass looking watch yeah, it's like that is a
good looking watch but just likefragrances and everything else,
it's all subjective right, youknow.
Myke (13:14):
Yeah, something smells great to one person and it
smells like cat piss to someoneelse, which makes me wonder,
ryan, is it a skip it, a sampleit or a buy it for the new dior
on parfum 2025 it's definitely avery hard sample to possible
buy because smelling the teststrip again, it smells really
good.
I really liked it.
Ryan (13:32):
Yeah, I'd love to have got to sample it more, but somebody
spilt the shit out of it duringour episode and so we only got
the one wearing, unfortunately Iwill say this, though I still
think your home intense for me,yeah, greatly edges it out just
because I love that it has moreof this lipstick thing kind of
going on slash makeup bag, whichI don't know.
(13:54):
There's something kind of sexyabout that, you know.
Myke (13:57):
Yeah, I mean, I really liked this one and I do want to
try it some more, so I will callit a sample.
Ryan (14:03):
A good sample.
Okay Well, mike, are you readyto smell Giorgio Armani
Aquadesio Elixir?
Yes, please, let's do it.
Myke (14:16):
All right, boy, you first.
Ryan (14:19):
Okay, I have come in naked today, with no fragrance on me.
Oh, oh, wow, wow, oh.
Not a fan?
(14:39):
Holy fuck.
What the fuck is this?
I'm literally, if it's a lookat this, going to make sure that
it's right.
Myke (14:47):
No, that's right huh, hmm, highly aquatic.
Up front I was expecting moreof like that spicy citrus that
you kind of get from the profumoand stuff.
Huh, it's a bit fresher.
Yeah, I'll give it that.
I mean, you know I'm not goingto like it.
(15:08):
It jumped in aquatic so fastalready I'm like kind of getting
like kind of yeah, it's like itjust dives right in Right.
It does a deep dive right in.
Oh no, what the hell?
You guys know me.
(15:29):
I fucking hate this.
I hate it on my me.
I fucking hate this.
I hate it on my skin.
I absolutely hate it.
Ryan (15:34):
Whoever wrote me in the DMs?
You know who you are.
You're not crazy.
You might be the sanest personI've ever talked to.
Myke (15:44):
I absolutely despise this fragrance.
Ryan (15:47):
I'm with you.
This is not what I thought itwould be.
What did you think it was goingto be?
I thought it was going to bethat spicy, aqua digio citrusy
kind of vibe that opens up.
Yeah, that would have reallysomething dark to it, like a
dark grapefruity.
(16:08):
Yeah, something right.
Yeah, this just kind of likedives right into aqua, right
into aqua velvet.
It's kind of hairspray slash,painy kind of smelling.
Myke (16:21):
Now I don't get that.
It does smell high quality tome, but it is so aquatic on my
skin.
Guys, if I tell you what Ithink it smells like we'd have
to change the rating of thispodcast.
(16:43):
I'm serious To what, At least toNC-17.
And I know some of you guys arelistening with your kids and
I'm like trying to be mindful ofthat.
What the hell this isdisturbing?
It smells weird, oh, it smellsso weird on my skin.
(17:03):
I'm angry.
I'm genuinely angry, dude.
So the gentleman that hooked usup from Dillard's we got His
name was Landon Really nice guy,by the way Landon, really nice
guy and he was saying he wasgetting tons of compliments on
this.
Yeah, he was.
He was wearing the hell out of.
It is what he was saying.
Ryan (17:19):
And this isn't a diss at him.
Hey, maybe it smells amazing onme.
Myke (17:23):
Well, this is what I always say about you with Aqua
De Jo is that you'll spray itand on you.
Even when I smell it I'm like,oh, it smells good, but anytime
I've sprayed it on me I've had areally hard time with it.
I mean a really hard time.
Go ahead, do you mind, please?
I won't spray another drop onme.
You go right ahead.
Ryan (17:44):
I'm going to.
I'm going to give this a fairshake.
Give this a fair shake.
I'm not happy with the opening.
Myke (17:51):
But yeah, on you it always smells good, but on me,
typically, it starts off reallynice.
There's the same thing thathappened with what was that?
Versace Dylan Blue.
Dylan Blue was great.
Yeah, it starts off really nice, but then, whenever it gets
aquatic, I'm like yuck, itsmells like wet dog on my skin.
Yeah, like pond water-ish.
Yuck, it smells like wet dog onmy skin.
(18:17):
Yeah, like pond water ish.
This, this smells.
Without being too graphic, theyshould call this aqua day
secretions.
Man, you feet as what.
I don't think it's that bad.
No, I'm like it takes a specialkind of fetish for somebody to
like this thing, at least on myskin.
I'm serious, it's reallybugging me.
Ryan (18:35):
Does it feel weaker too?
To me it feels weaker.
Yeah, probably so.
So there's a word I want toplay to you guys.
I feel like this just goes.
This is what's happening witheverything in society.
Okay, I just so happen to betalking about today and of
(18:56):
course we're getting this, and Ifeel like this fits what I'm
talking about.
Oh, yeah, okay, but the word inshitification, in shitification
, in shitification orcrapification, big corporates
like hey, we like this money,you think that's it, and they go
.
You know what?
What if we made this crappierand we charged them more?
These dumb fucks love giving usall their money.
Myke (19:21):
Here we go.
Conspiracy hats ablaze.
Ryan (19:27):
And that leads me to my price and popularity price 160
for 1.7.
That is a lot and the bottlelooks ridiculous oh, I kind of
(19:49):
like it.
Myke (19:49):
Oh, it looks cheap.
It looks there's a magnetic capon it, though it's not I kind
of like it.
Ryan (19:56):
I hate it a lot.
I liked it.
Rating on this bad boy.
I'm terrified.
You think that everybody'sgoing to prove you wrong?
Say it smells fucking amazingMike.
Myke (20:08):
I don't care about that.
I smell what I smell, but I'mgonna be absolutely shocked if
it's a high number, though.
Ryan (20:13):
Well, get ready, mike, because if you go to free
grantica, they gave it awhopping 3.86 out of a possible
five damn, that's relativelyhigh.
Myke (20:27):
You think that's high?
Yeah, for how mid?
Well, no, mid would be aroundthe 2.5 ish.
Hmm, this is like I would tellyou what I'd rate this right now
.
Ryan (20:41):
Sub ones it's missing the spicy or someone's missing
something.
It doesn't kick off withsomething fun.
Yeah, it just gets down to the,to the sack.
You know what I'm saying?
Myke (20:53):
and out of it.
That is not good.
Vote with your wallets, folks.
Yeah, you could do that.
Vote with your wallets.
Vote for the enchitificationI'm tired of it Of Giorgio
Armani hey guys, do you hatethose greasy fucking cable guys?
Ryan (21:14):
You want to save a lot of fucking money.
You, fucking loser.
Hey, try this online stuff.
It's real cheap Five dollarsStreaming yeah.
Myke (21:23):
And then you know what?
Then it's no longer.
You get all the channels.
It's like now you're payingindividually and then you go,
god it.
Ryan (21:30):
It costs more than cable to do this now yeah, hey,
remember when we just were like,hey, we can go to one spot
blockbuster and just go rent themovie we want it, you know.
Now it's like you got to go whohas it?
Oh no, it's not on tubi, it'snot on neti, it's not on Netflix
.
Shudder has it.
I don't have a Shudder account.
I got to fucking subscribe toShudder to watch this dumbass
movie.
(21:50):
That's mid.
Yeah, guys, this fragrance.
I'm going to say this onecaveat here it smells pretty
decent on me right now, but itis like it skips all the fun
part of what makes the aqua dejoline to me yeah, I wouldn't
look when I smell it on the card.
Myke (22:10):
It's not bad.
It's not like blowing my mind,which I guess I really wouldn't
expect that from you know.
Run-of-the-mill designer typething, yeah, but on my skin I
don't know what my skin doeswith aquatics.
It just goes nuts, it does somewild shit to it, which makes me
wonder like what do I smell?
Like while I'm like hanging outin a pool, like I probably
(22:35):
smell terrible.
I'm kind of worried about thatnow.
I never thought about thatbefore this point.
Ryan (22:42):
I'm in trouble do you don't think this smells a little
hairspray, like a littlesomething there?
Myke (22:46):
yeah, I can kind of.
I definitely get it on the skin.
It smells like hairspray andsemen.
Ryan (22:50):
If I'm being real, me it's like hairspray and wet dog on
the card, though.
I mean, it's like obviously ithas a decent smell to it, but
it's like it's covering that up,you know?
Yeah, yeah, I get what you'resaying.
Myke (23:02):
On the card.
It smells citrusy, tiny bitfloral.
It smells kind of feminine,right.
Hmm, it smells light.
I don't know if I'd go fullfeminine, but it leans more
towards the center.
Ryan (23:13):
It's definitely unisex.
I think this is strictly formen, by the way.
Myke (23:16):
Yeah, women, I don't think you guys are allowed to use
this.
Ryan (23:19):
Yeah, this one is strictly for men, but I would say this
is kind of unisex isn't thatwhat landon said?
Myke (23:24):
like ladies have come up to try to buy it as gifts and
they've been like not evenallowed to buy it because it's
strictly for men.
Ryan (23:30):
Really, no, I'm just like I'm like what the fuck are you
telling me right now some?
Myke (23:34):
sexist shit's going to.
Ryan (23:36):
You're like, oh hell no god damn who would wear this.
Just, I mean besideson, look,you probably don't even listen
to the goddamn show.
But no, buddy, you're a nicelooking young man, you can get
away with this shit.
I can't, right, I can't getaway wearing this.
(23:56):
No, no, you can't, I can't.
What the hell did they do withthis?
It's like if it could get tothis part later, I'd probably
I'd probably still not be vibingit harder, but I at least, like
I don't know, might ride theride, the wave here a little bit
, but like it doesn't have thatsignature aqua digio opening,
(24:18):
and that bothers me.
For that price point, yeah, areyou gonna skip it, sample it or
buy it?
What are you gonna do?
Ryan, this is sadly the easiestskip of an aqua dejo I could
ever give and that really breaksmy heart because I have been
(24:40):
pining over this.
Yeah, mike's seeing me.
He mentions aqua deez.
Myke (24:45):
You, I'm pleaded up yeah, he's like been pacing circles
around the studio hunched over.
Ryan (24:51):
Yeah, just waiting.
We finally show up to the storeand it's there.
I gotta go to take it.
You know, I'm like fuckinghappy we rushed back.
We still had to wait a coupledays, and so the anticipation
has been killing me.
It's like christmas fucking day.
Myke (25:07):
This is like your tonka 25 moment, I guess.
So, man, yeah this shit manyeah, oh god, on the skin.
This is absolutely terrible forme I don't know.
Ryan (25:19):
Does it smell bad on me?
I can't smell it on you?
Myke (25:24):
No, it smells so different .
It smells clean and kind ofsoapy almost.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Ryan (25:31):
It does smell funky on you .
What is your skin?
I'm not going swimming with you, dude.
Yeah, exactly.
Myke (25:36):
What the hell you guys haven't told me about this?
I smell like a freaking loogiethe whole time.
Well, what do you think you'regonna buy this bad boy?
So skip, if there's ever been askip.
Ryan (25:56):
Oh my god, that is a shame .
Wow, man, so disappointing.
Hey look, and this isn't aknock on the perfumer.
Hey look, dudes like you can'thit a home run every time.
You know what I'm saying.
It's just not going to happen.
Well, I mean, look, he probablydid what they asked him to do
Exactly and got paid a lot ofmoney.
Myke (26:19):
That's all this is to you.
Huh, this is a big old moneygrab.
Ryan (26:23):
God damn, I mean not necessarily for him, but come on
, dude, it's bad enough.
I gotta put out our money codeshit.
Then you're gonna put this outon me.
Myke (26:36):
I'm pissed, dude yeah, it's a tough one, man, that is
absolutely bonkers guys, Ireally wish that this could have
been better.
Ryan (26:47):
I mean I know some people will probably enjoy the
entertainment of it sucking andme being like super pissed, but
honestly, like I'm not a fanwhen stuff sucks, especially
when I want to be good.
Myke (26:56):
This is really the only way I know that we could make
content about something wedidn't like is to start off and
not know we're not going to likeit.
About something we didn't likeis to start off and not know
we're not going to like it.
But I do see people in thefragrance community get so
pissed that YouTubers are makingvideos and everything they love
and it's like yeah, why wouldyou make a video unless you were
just extremely disgruntled,like Robes08?
(27:19):
Why would you make a videoabout something you don't like?
It takes a lot of time and alot of effort, Robes.
I don't want the heat bro.
Ryan (27:27):
I'm bringing the heat I really don't care yeah I don't
believe in you robes.
Myke (27:37):
I'm a robes yift.
How would you say that?
Either way, I just don'tbelieve.
I don't believe he exists,honestly, oh shit this.
Ryan (27:50):
What a wank fest dude.
This is like are you shittingme right now?
Myke (27:58):
that's so funny because we've got.
This isn't really areformulation, this is a new
thing.
But you know, we had theprevious episode and then we
have this one and I almostthought we would go the opposite
way on the last one and be likereally pumped on this one and
it's flipped, yeah I kind ofthought so too actually yeah,
wow, oh man, I will probablynever spray this fragrance again
(28:21):
oh, this will be the last day Iever wear it.
Ryan (28:24):
Yeah, hands down.
I just laced up the rest of iton me because we're going to go
shoot some pool later, yep.
Myke (28:29):
Yep, yep.
We're going over to a friend'shouse.
He's got a new pool table,mm-hmm, and he's just begging to
get his ass kicked.
Ryan (28:39):
We'll report back.
Myke (28:45):
Last time we bragged to this guy we could whoop his ass,
and then he's like I haven'tplayed pool in 10 years.
Yeah, hey, mop the fuckingfloor with us too.
Ryan (28:50):
It's just like not even hardly paying attention yeah,
and we're like we've had ourpool sticks for a week.
Myke (28:56):
We're better, yeah, and we were sweating the whole time.
We're like busting out abacusand shit like that and the
protractors trying to hit andhe's just like casually walking
up and sinking and, dude, hefreaking busted our balls by the
way, before you get out of here, I have to give a shout out if
they stayed here long enough.
Ben, if you're listening hi,yeah, did you get a tally on how
(29:22):
many F words Ryan said?
Ryan (29:25):
We found out one of our listeners, like my kid, who's a
grown kid, was like he's alwayslike count down how long it
takes for her I drop an F bomband he likes to talk about
Marvel Rivals.
By the way, ben, I just pickedup, started learning Loki, one
of the harder characters to play, kind of fun.
Myke (29:41):
If you haven't tried that, you should.
Ryan (29:52):
Hey, and kind of fun.
Myke (29:53):
If you haven't tried that, you should hey.
And if you guys like spongebob,yeah, we're about to do uh, one
of our patrons.
Ryan (29:55):
He's the medias of clackers in there.
That's right.
Yeah, only one spot.
Yes to the king.
You are king, sir.
He gave us, uh, three juicybottles of oday spongebob, oday
patrick, starfish word.
You know why is it that you cando all the impressions of all
these, these characters, o'daySpongebob, o'day Patrick
Starfish, squidward.
Why is it that?
Myke (30:11):
you can do all the impressions of all these
characters.
Did you just watch the shit outof it or something?
Oh, dude, I did watch quite abit growing up.
Yeah, spongebob.
Ryan (30:16):
But if you're a patron and you have some kids of the age
that would like one of thesebottles, let us know.
We've already mentioned italready in the patron patreon.
But if you get into the patreon, you have some kids?
Myke (30:31):
let us know.
Uh, we're going to give thesebottles away after we smell them
.
We'll pick, uh, three luckywinners.
Yeah, and, like we said earlier, we've got community chats.
If you're looking for a nicepositive corner in the fragrance
community, we have fivedifferent chats.
We've got our regular communitychat.
We've got a chat about homefragrance, if you're looking to
make your house smell good.
We've got a scent of the dayarea.
We've got a health and fitnessarea and then we've got like a
(30:54):
buy, sell, trade area.
So if you want somebody thatyou can trust, that you want to
buy, sell or trade fragrances,that's a great place to go.
Also, there's a few guys inthere that are really good about
finding stuff.
So if you're hunting for notonly just fragrances that are
out there, but maybe somevintage stuff that you haven't
seen in a while, ryan King,meaty Clackers, hooked you up to
(31:14):
help you find a vintage bottleof the fragrance that your dad
used to wear.
So it's more than just bonusepisodes in the Patreon, it's a
community, yeah.
Ryan (31:27):
The community is some of the best part it's for so much
it's beyond anything we couldhave originally imagined.
I think, yeah, it's way betterthan this fragrance?
Without even question.
Myke (31:36):
Yeah, so you could spend a hundred and some odd bucks on
that, or starting at six dollarsa month, you can become become
a Patreon, and until next time,spray it up y'all.
hello everybody, welcome to the cologne podcast I'm mike
and I'm ryan and we're two bestfriends.
We're going on a fragrancejourney, giving you fragrance
opinions that are highlyuneducated hell.
Ryan (00:19):
Yeah, you know why we're so goddamn hype is because today
, you know me, your boy, it's inmy top three, it's probably my
top two and maybe my top one.
Come on, yeah, it's a new AquaDejo.
Aqua Dejo, that's right byGiorgio Armani.
Myke (00:45):
This is the elixir.
What's the full name of this?
Just hit them right by GiorgioArmani.
This is the elixir.
What's the full name of this?
Just hit them with it.
Ryan (00:48):
Giorgio Armani.
Acqua Di Gio Elixir.
Myke (00:52):
Oof and I've got a few reviews.
They're short and sweet, so Ijust combined a few of them.
Ryan (00:58):
This is one of those ones that needs a couple of good
reviews, right?
Oh for sure, yeah, little goodreviews, right.
Myke (01:01):
Yeah, oh for sure.
Yeah, plenty of good ones.
Yeah, alright, let's hear howexcited everyone is about this
fragrance, how good thisfragrance is.
Hell, yeah, come on.
Beavis Bontz says I roll toinfinity.
Mmm LVC says aqua de poo andSqueeze Nose says this whole
(01:26):
line should not exist in 2025.
Fuck you.
Ryan (01:30):
No, I'll tell you which one don't exist.
That's that Armani Code.
That one's garbage.
Really, you're going to talkshit about Aqua De Geo, the
compliment of compliment gettersthat I've worn my entire life.
Myke (01:44):
You've gotten many a compliment.
He's seen it, he's witnessed itin person.
He seems to I seen it.
I get pissed every time too.
I'm like you, son of a bitch.
I'm like they don't know.
I'm wearing a ventus right now.
You know that meme where it'slike the guy in the corner.
They don't know.
Ryan (02:03):
I'm wearing a vintage batch of aventus it has
seriously been a staple in mycollection.
I've always rocked the edt forthe longest time and then I
moved on to the profumo rightand then, of course, I
discontinued that and I triedthe parfum which is close enough
to it.
We've had mixed reviews aboutthis actually it's true, yeah,
(02:25):
yeah, we've actually had avalued patreon write in about
this I'm just gonna read it Iwish you would we'll leave out
the name, because I uh wrotethis and then a couple weeks
later they were like I'm sorryfor giving you such a rant.
Yeah I was like hey, it's fine.
He was like I think I'm crazy.
I'm like no, we'll see.
You're like maybe thisgentleman said if you haven't
(02:50):
tried aqua dejo elixir yet, maythese words be the lube before
armani bends you over.
Oof.
The best part of the whole damnthing is this atomizer.
We don't have that.
We got a little decant.
The bottle feels like it'smissing a key chain.
It's so damn small.
We can absolutely attest tothat.
(03:11):
Yes, it is pathetically small.
Myke (03:14):
It's a 50 mil bottle for 100 mil pricing, yeah, which
we'll get into later in ourprice and popularity segment
exactly, and so are its clackers, if it had any at all.
Ryan (03:27):
It smells good, but they could have done so much more
with it.
I'm not thinking it's theperfumer's fault.
I think it's alberto morales ohyeah, that guy, because he's
created some incredible things.
Myke (03:41):
Most notably stuff for jeremy fragrance.
Did he just do a new one forJeremy?
Ryan (03:46):
No, but in the past he did , oh, okay, yeah, jeremy's new
one is like 600 bones.
I was being cheeky.
Myke (03:51):
What was it called Like super testosterone or something
like that.
Super, yeah, super sex themanliest, or something.
I think yeah, something likethat.
Ryan (04:06):
That's exactly what it the hell had Armani picked this one
to go with.
I'm so disappointed, damn it.
Hope you have a betterexperience.
Hell, I hope you love it.
Myke (04:10):
Sorry for venting which, by the way, we love the vents
you guys just vented up with usSend it our way.
Ryan (04:15):
Yeah, yeah, send the vents to us.
And you know we had a communitychat.
If you're in the Patreon, youknow all about it.
If you're not, go there.
We got a community chat.
We've got five different chatsthat you can be a part of.
By the way, yeah, I wish Icould find it.
Probably can't find it now.
Why don't I ever prepare?
Mike, this is you.
Is that my weakness?
(04:35):
Is that my One of the many?
Yeah, is that my incredibleHulk trait?
Myke (04:48):
That's my thing.
I'm.
I'm never prepared.
You know, maybe, when thingsactually need you to be prepared
, you're not.
But then you're so neuroticyou're planning out 19 different
scenarios that may never happen.
Ryan (04:55):
You're preparing your life for yeah, I don't ever
understand that so this one I'llsay out there because he posted
in the community chat.
So, followed by that, weeventually got this in our
community chat.
One of our listeners who'sawesome and patron, stephen Dole
, wrote I highly recommend this,at least a sample.
The price is the sticking point, but I managed to get mine for
(05:18):
under 100 euros.
This is right there withPerfumo to me, which I love,
that one you do.
I think the name Elixir throwssome bad juju on this release.
Oh no, but try it.
Everyone I've shown it to inall caps here loves it.
Oh OK, the online reviews areinsane.
(05:40):
People just seem to want todislike it.
But this is a really goodrelease and I will say the
elixir name absolutely throwssome bad juju on it yeah, it's
just being overplayed right nowliterally, when we got this
decant, we got like four or fiveother ones.
We showed you guys on thepatreon, yeah, and there's like
two more that have the elixirname on it, and the one that was
(06:02):
the craziest was um god, what'sthe azaro one?
Myke (06:06):
yeah, the azaro is like how's like the most wanted
forever by night, elixir supremeor something like that.
Ryan (06:12):
It's just this ridiculous yeah and we're like god damn, of
course everybody's.
It is annoying to hear thateverybody's got the elixir.
Yeah, so we'll see.
That remains to be seen, but weneed to get into our one night
stand stop what I think we needto talk about this.
Myke (06:29):
This is important.
We talked about last episodeand this is this.
Is it exactly?
You remember last episode?
We were like, yeah, but weweren't super fanboys, weren't
in love with the original toyour own parfum.
Yeah, so we're not upset thatit is a departure.
But you were like what if theyreformulated lunarosa carbon?
(06:52):
How would you feel?
And I was like, oh, I'd befucking crushed.
So how are you gonna feel aboutfragrance?
Because this is a belovedfragrance of yours.
Ryan (07:06):
Well, I mean, if it just feels like the Parfum or the
Perfumo, I'll just be like Iwon't ever buy this, I'll just
get those right, yeah.
Now if it's just a straight up,redone to hell, to where it's
unrecognizable, yeah, I'dprobably be pretty pissed,
especially at what we know theprice point is for that little
thing.
You know what I mean, yeah.
Myke (07:26):
So what do you think it is going to be like?
Ryan (07:32):
I'm going in with an open mind and open heart.
Really, I think it's going tobe good.
I really do.
Myke (07:38):
I just don't feel the investment in you.
Ryan (07:40):
The only aqua dejo that I really don't like and I may get
crucified here I don't like theprofundo part of the line.
Oh, I thought we smelled oneand really liked it though I
like light kind of the opening,the lights or whatever it's
called.
Yeah, I like kind of theopening, but I'm not really in
love with it after that.
It's just like eh, it's okay.
Myke (07:58):
Well, we'll get more into that after our one-night stand
review of Dior's new Dior Home.
Ryan (08:06):
Parfum 2025.
Myke (08:09):
Hit the music.
Ryan (08:10):
Todd.
Myke (08:16):
Yeah, home parfum 2025 hit the music todd.
Ryan (08:18):
Yeah, one night stand review.
Well, ryan, after spending thenight with dior home parfum 2025
what do you have to say aboutit?
You first, buddy, you know what.
I actually liked it a lot.
Yeah, I did too.
I liked it a lot and, true towhat you're saying, we didn't
(08:39):
have this huge investment intothe past of it, right, so for us
it was really good, pretty nice, yeah.
Myke (08:45):
I have to say it was pretty damn nice.
Yeah, it was well liked aroundthe people that I've showed as
well.
So I think it's just our strongallegiances to the past.
Yeah, I don't think it's a badthing, I think it's perfectly
fine to kind of have thesetetherings sentimentally to the
past, yeah, but might bestifling your ability to really
(09:08):
enjoy new shit absolutely andsmell that because that's been
on there.
Ryan (09:12):
What a week still strong.
Myke (09:15):
So longevity is great and it smells good and it does
remind me of dior home, thatkind of line and stuff.
Again, you guys can thinkwhatever you want about us
because, you're right, we're notthe super knowledgeable,
obsessed diorm guys.
Yeah, so we don't have thatstrong allegiance to it and
(09:36):
because of that, you know, youmay think that we're flawed in
our opinion and that's okay, youknow why?
Because fragrance is subjectiveand you shouldn't even care
about what we think about it.
You should smell it foryourself.
100.
You know what I hate seeingwhat?
Yeah, I'll be on reddit andI'll see somebody in the rolex
subreddit and they have justspent 17 000 on a watch.
(09:59):
They send a picture and they go.
What do we think about it?
Oh yeah, and I'm like, you justspent the money.
Don't let somebody make youfeel like a fool if you love it
great, absolutely, especially ifyou spent that kind of money.
Ryan (10:15):
Why do?
Myke (10:16):
you care what other people think about something.
If you like it, enjoy it.
You know what I mean.
But I I hate seeing thatbecause inevitably some asshole
out there, faceless internethandle is gonna trash it just to
be a prick one day.
And it's like don't setyourself up for that.
If you fall in love withsomething, don't go shallow.
(10:37):
How wants a gal?
Just enjoy what you got.
Ryan (10:41):
By the way, do you think you're the one that got the
compliment?
I think you're the one that gotthe compliment today, oh so.
Myke (10:47):
Ryan and I.
Well, I had to run some errandsthis morning.
Ryan joined me and so we drivethrough the Starbucks, local
Starbucks.
You're driving, you're in thedriver's seat, I'm driving yeah,
big old truck.
We pull up identical drinks, hepasses them and then, as we're
leaving, the guy in the windowgoes hey, I really like that
(11:10):
watch, it's a great lookingwatch.
Now Ryan's wearing an actualRolex and I'm wearing like an
$80 homage and I, because ofthat, in my mind, I just got
always talking to you, ryan, andwe kind of look, we both look
back at the guy and everybody'sconfused and I just drive off.
It was really awkward.
(11:31):
It was so awkward because I waslike I can't tell if he's
saying that to me or to ryan,and you said I think it was you,
it was definitely you.
And then I was like how doesthat make you feel you fucking
loser?
Ryan (11:43):
well, if I'd spent money on it, I guess I'd feel pretty
bad, yeah so let me put thatcaveat out right.
It was my dad dad's watch, yeah, and so and it is.
It's a great.
It's a great watch.
Yeah, it's a beautiful watchand it's a highly sought after
era of a Submariner.
But, that being said, that thewatch that you wear always gets
compliments and I don't wearthis all the time.
(12:05):
I'm always wearing my, mytwo-tone Pagani Right, we walk
around Pagani bros with like$100 and under watches.
Myke (12:13):
Yeah, but man, I've gotten so many compliments on this
watch.
Ryan (12:18):
It's seriously a beautiful watch and funny enough to tell
I know we're getting on watchesfor a second.
Me and Mike were in Dallas theother day.
We went to the scent roombriefly and we stopped by.
We have a chain here called HEB.
We stopped by there and we'vestopped by.
We have a chain here called heb.
We stopped by then we'rechecking out.
One of the guys bagging thegroceries is wearing a nice
watch yeah, and the cashier girlshe's like is that real?
Myke (12:37):
talking to the guy bagging yeah, and he's like what do you
mean?
It's?
It's a working watch.
Yeah, she goes.
Yeah, but is it real he goes?
What the hell are you talkingabout?
He's like it's a fossil watch.
She's like he's like I'mbagging groceries at hub.
You know what I mean.
(13:00):
And I looked at and it's a.
Ryan (13:03):
It was a badass looking watch yeah, it's like that is a
good looking watch but just likefragrances and everything else,
it's all subjective right, youknow.
Myke (13:14):
Yeah, something smells great to one person and it
smells like cat piss to someoneelse, which makes me wonder,
ryan, is it a skip it, a sampleit or a buy it for the new dior
on parfum 2025 it's definitely avery hard sample to possible
buy because smelling the teststrip again, it smells really
good.
I really liked it.
Ryan (13:32):
Yeah, I'd love to have got to sample it more, but somebody
spilt the shit out of it duringour episode and so we only got
the one wearing, unfortunately Iwill say this, though I still
think your home intense for me,yeah, greatly edges it out just
because I love that it has moreof this lipstick thing kind of
going on slash makeup bag, whichI don't know.
(13:54):
There's something kind of sexyabout that, you know.
Myke (13:57):
Yeah, I mean, I really liked this one and I do want to
try it some more, so I will callit a sample.
Ryan (14:03):
A good sample.
Okay Well, mike, are you readyto smell Giorgio Armani
Aquadesio Elixir?
Yes, please, let's do it.
Myke (14:16):
All right, boy, you first.
Ryan (14:19):
Okay, I have come in naked today, with no fragrance on me.
Oh, oh, wow, wow, oh.
Not a fan?
(14:39):
Holy fuck.
What the fuck is this?
I'm literally, if it's a lookat this, going to make sure that
it's right.
Myke (14:47):
No, that's right huh, hmm, highly aquatic.
Up front I was expecting moreof like that spicy citrus that
you kind of get from the profumoand stuff.
Huh, it's a bit fresher.
Yeah, I'll give it that.
I mean, you know I'm not goingto like it.
(15:08):
It jumped in aquatic so fastalready I'm like kind of getting
like kind of yeah, it's like itjust dives right in Right.
It does a deep dive right in.
Oh no, what the hell?
You guys know me.
(15:29):
I fucking hate this.
I hate it on my me.
I fucking hate this.
I hate it on my skin.
I absolutely hate it.
Ryan (15:34):
Whoever wrote me in the DMs?
You know who you are.
You're not crazy.
You might be the sanest personI've ever talked to.
Myke (15:44):
I absolutely despise this fragrance.
Ryan (15:47):
I'm with you.
This is not what I thought itwould be.
What did you think it was goingto be?
I thought it was going to bethat spicy, aqua digio citrusy
kind of vibe that opens up.
Yeah, that would have reallysomething dark to it, like a
dark grapefruity.
(16:08):
Yeah, something right.
Yeah, this just kind of likedives right into aqua, right
into aqua velvet.
It's kind of hairspray slash,painy kind of smelling.
Myke (16:21):
Now I don't get that.
It does smell high quality tome, but it is so aquatic on my
skin.
Guys, if I tell you what Ithink it smells like we'd have
to change the rating of thispodcast.
(16:43):
I'm serious To what, At least toNC-17.
And I know some of you guys arelistening with your kids and
I'm like trying to be mindful ofthat.
What the hell this isdisturbing?
It smells weird, oh, it smellsso weird on my skin.
(17:03):
I'm angry.
I'm genuinely angry, dude.
So the gentleman that hooked usup from Dillard's we got His
name was Landon Really nice guy,by the way Landon, really nice
guy and he was saying he wasgetting tons of compliments on
this.
Yeah, he was.
He was wearing the hell out of.
It is what he was saying.
Ryan (17:19):
And this isn't a diss at him.
Hey, maybe it smells amazing onme.
Myke (17:23):
Well, this is what I always say about you with Aqua
De Jo is that you'll spray itand on you.
Even when I smell it I'm like,oh, it smells good, but anytime
I've sprayed it on me I've had areally hard time with it.
I mean a really hard time.
Go ahead, do you mind, please?
I won't spray another drop onme.
You go right ahead.
Ryan (17:44):
I'm going to.
I'm going to give this a fairshake.
Give this a fair shake.
I'm not happy with the opening.
Myke (17:51):
But yeah, on you it always smells good, but on me,
typically, it starts off reallynice.
There's the same thing thathappened with what was that?
Versace Dylan Blue.
Dylan Blue was great.
Yeah, it starts off really nice, but then, whenever it gets
aquatic, I'm like yuck, itsmells like wet dog on my skin.
Yeah, like pond water-ish.
Yuck, it smells like wet dog onmy skin.
(18:17):
Yeah, like pond water ish.
This, this smells.
Without being too graphic, theyshould call this aqua day
secretions.
Man, you feet as what.
I don't think it's that bad.
No, I'm like it takes a specialkind of fetish for somebody to
like this thing, at least on myskin.
I'm serious, it's reallybugging me.
Ryan (18:35):
Does it feel weaker too?
To me it feels weaker.
Yeah, probably so.
So there's a word I want toplay to you guys.
I feel like this just goes.
This is what's happening witheverything in society.
Okay, I just so happen to betalking about today and of
(18:56):
course we're getting this, and Ifeel like this fits what I'm
talking about.
Oh, yeah, okay, but the word inshitification, in shitification
, in shitification orcrapification, big corporates
like hey, we like this money,you think that's it, and they go
.
You know what?
What if we made this crappierand we charged them more?
These dumb fucks love giving usall their money.
Myke (19:21):
Here we go.
Conspiracy hats ablaze.
Ryan (19:27):
And that leads me to my price and popularity price 160
for 1.7.
That is a lot and the bottlelooks ridiculous oh, I kind of
(19:49):
like it.
Myke (19:49):
Oh, it looks cheap.
It looks there's a magnetic capon it, though it's not I kind
of like it.
Ryan (19:56):
I hate it a lot.
I liked it.
Rating on this bad boy.
I'm terrified.
You think that everybody'sgoing to prove you wrong?
Say it smells fucking amazingMike.
Myke (20:08):
I don't care about that.
I smell what I smell, but I'mgonna be absolutely shocked if
it's a high number, though.
Ryan (20:13):
Well, get ready, mike, because if you go to free
grantica, they gave it awhopping 3.86 out of a possible
five damn, that's relativelyhigh.
Myke (20:27):
You think that's high?
Yeah, for how mid?
Well, no, mid would be aroundthe 2.5 ish.
Hmm, this is like I would tellyou what I'd rate this right now
.
Ryan (20:41):
Sub ones it's missing the spicy or someone's missing
something.
It doesn't kick off withsomething fun.
Yeah, it just gets down to the,to the sack.
You know what I'm saying?
Myke (20:53):
and out of it.
That is not good.
Vote with your wallets, folks.
Yeah, you could do that.
Vote with your wallets.
Vote for the enchitificationI'm tired of it Of Giorgio
Armani hey guys, do you hatethose greasy fucking cable guys?
Ryan (21:14):
You want to save a lot of fucking money.
You, fucking loser.
Hey, try this online stuff.
It's real cheap Five dollarsStreaming yeah.
Myke (21:23):
And then you know what?
Then it's no longer.
You get all the channels.
It's like now you're payingindividually and then you go,
god it.
Ryan (21:30):
It costs more than cable to do this now yeah, hey,
remember when we just were like,hey, we can go to one spot
blockbuster and just go rent themovie we want it, you know.
Now it's like you got to go whohas it?
Oh no, it's not on tubi, it'snot on neti, it's not on Netflix
.
Shudder has it.
I don't have a Shudder account.
I got to fucking subscribe toShudder to watch this dumbass
movie.
(21:50):
That's mid.
Yeah, guys, this fragrance.
I'm going to say this onecaveat here it smells pretty
decent on me right now, but itis like it skips all the fun
part of what makes the aqua dejoline to me yeah, I wouldn't
look when I smell it on the card.
Myke (22:10):
It's not bad.
It's not like blowing my mind,which I guess I really wouldn't
expect that from you know.
Run-of-the-mill designer typething, yeah, but on my skin I
don't know what my skin doeswith aquatics.
It just goes nuts, it does somewild shit to it, which makes me
wonder like what do I smell?
Like while I'm like hanging outin a pool, like I probably
(22:35):
smell terrible.
I'm kind of worried about thatnow.
I never thought about thatbefore this point.
Ryan (22:42):
I'm in trouble do you don't think this smells a little
hairspray, like a littlesomething there?
Myke (22:46):
yeah, I can kind of.
I definitely get it on the skin.
It smells like hairspray andsemen.
Ryan (22:50):
If I'm being real, me it's like hairspray and wet dog on
the card, though.
I mean, it's like obviously ithas a decent smell to it, but
it's like it's covering that up,you know?
Yeah, yeah, I get what you'resaying.
Myke (23:02):
On the card.
It smells citrusy, tiny bitfloral.
It smells kind of feminine,right.
Hmm, it smells light.
I don't know if I'd go fullfeminine, but it leans more
towards the center.
Ryan (23:13):
It's definitely unisex.
I think this is strictly formen, by the way.
Myke (23:16):
Yeah, women, I don't think you guys are allowed to use
this.
Ryan (23:19):
Yeah, this one is strictly for men, but I would say this
is kind of unisex isn't thatwhat landon said?
Myke (23:24):
like ladies have come up to try to buy it as gifts and
they've been like not evenallowed to buy it because it's
strictly for men.
Ryan (23:30):
Really, no, I'm just like I'm like what the fuck are you
telling me right now some?
Myke (23:34):
sexist shit's going to.
Ryan (23:36):
You're like, oh hell no god damn who would wear this.
Just, I mean besideson, look,you probably don't even listen
to the goddamn show.
But no, buddy, you're a nicelooking young man, you can get
away with this shit.
I can't, right, I can't getaway wearing this.
(23:56):
No, no, you can't, I can't.
What the hell did they do withthis?
It's like if it could get tothis part later, I'd probably
I'd probably still not be vibingit harder, but I at least, like
I don't know, might ride theride, the wave here a little bit
, but like it doesn't have thatsignature aqua digio opening,
(24:18):
and that bothers me.
For that price point, yeah, areyou gonna skip it, sample it or
buy it?
What are you gonna do?
Ryan, this is sadly the easiestskip of an aqua dejo I could
ever give and that really breaksmy heart because I have been
(24:40):
pining over this.
Yeah, mike's seeing me.
He mentions aqua deez.
Myke (24:45):
You, I'm pleaded up yeah, he's like been pacing circles
around the studio hunched over.
Ryan (24:51):
Yeah, just waiting.
We finally show up to the storeand it's there.
I gotta go to take it.
You know, I'm like fuckinghappy we rushed back.
We still had to wait a coupledays, and so the anticipation
has been killing me.
It's like christmas fucking day.
Myke (25:07):
This is like your tonka 25 moment, I guess.
So, man, yeah this shit manyeah, oh god, on the skin.
This is absolutely terrible forme I don't know.
Ryan (25:19):
Does it smell bad on me?
I can't smell it on you?
Myke (25:24):
No, it smells so different .
It smells clean and kind ofsoapy almost.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Ryan (25:31):
It does smell funky on you .
What is your skin?
I'm not going swimming with you, dude.
Yeah, exactly.
Myke (25:36):
What the hell you guys haven't told me about this?
I smell like a freaking loogiethe whole time.
Well, what do you think you'regonna buy this bad boy?
So skip, if there's ever been askip.
Ryan (25:56):
Oh my god, that is a shame .
Wow, man, so disappointing.
Hey look, and this isn't aknock on the perfumer.
Hey look, dudes like you can'thit a home run every time.
You know what I'm saying.
It's just not going to happen.
Well, I mean, look, he probablydid what they asked him to do
Exactly and got paid a lot ofmoney.
Myke (26:19):
That's all this is to you.
Huh, this is a big old moneygrab.
Ryan (26:23):
God damn, I mean not necessarily for him, but come on
, dude, it's bad enough.
I gotta put out our money codeshit.
Then you're gonna put this outon me.
Myke (26:36):
I'm pissed, dude yeah, it's a tough one, man, that is
absolutely bonkers guys, Ireally wish that this could have
been better.
Ryan (26:47):
I mean I know some people will probably enjoy the
entertainment of it sucking andme being like super pissed, but
honestly, like I'm not a fanwhen stuff sucks, especially
when I want to be good.
Myke (26:56):
This is really the only way I know that we could make
content about something wedidn't like is to start off and
not know we're not going to likeit.
About something we didn't likeis to start off and not know
we're not going to like it.
But I do see people in thefragrance community get so
pissed that YouTubers are makingvideos and everything they love
and it's like yeah, why wouldyou make a video unless you were
just extremely disgruntled,like Robes08?
(27:19):
Why would you make a videoabout something you don't like?
It takes a lot of time and alot of effort, Robes.
I don't want the heat bro.
Ryan (27:27):
I'm bringing the heat I really don't care yeah I don't
believe in you robes.
Myke (27:37):
I'm a robes yift.
How would you say that?
Either way, I just don'tbelieve.
I don't believe he exists,honestly, oh shit this.
Ryan (27:50):
What a wank fest dude.
This is like are you shittingme right now?
Myke (27:58):
that's so funny because we've got.
This isn't really areformulation, this is a new
thing.
But you know, we had theprevious episode and then we
have this one and I almostthought we would go the opposite
way on the last one and be likereally pumped on this one and
it's flipped, yeah I kind ofthought so too actually yeah,
wow, oh man, I will probablynever spray this fragrance again
(28:21):
oh, this will be the last day Iever wear it.
Ryan (28:24):
Yeah, hands down.
I just laced up the rest of iton me because we're going to go
shoot some pool later, yep.
Myke (28:29):
Yep, yep.
We're going over to a friend'shouse.
He's got a new pool table,mm-hmm, and he's just begging to
get his ass kicked.
Ryan (28:39):
We'll report back.
Myke (28:45):
Last time we bragged to this guy we could whoop his ass,
and then he's like I haven'tplayed pool in 10 years.
Yeah, hey, mop the fuckingfloor with us too.
Ryan (28:50):
It's just like not even hardly paying attention yeah,
and we're like we've had ourpool sticks for a week.
Myke (28:56):
We're better, yeah, and we were sweating the whole time.
We're like busting out abacusand shit like that and the
protractors trying to hit andhe's just like casually walking
up and sinking and, dude, hefreaking busted our balls by the
way, before you get out of here, I have to give a shout out if
they stayed here long enough.
Ben, if you're listening hi,yeah, did you get a tally on how
(29:22):
many F words Ryan said?
Ryan (29:25):
We found out one of our listeners, like my kid, who's a
grown kid, was like he's alwayslike count down how long it
takes for her I drop an F bomband he likes to talk about
Marvel Rivals.
By the way, ben, I just pickedup, started learning Loki, one
of the harder characters to play, kind of fun.
Myke (29:41):
If you haven't tried that, you should.
Ryan (29:52):
Hey, and kind of fun.
Myke (29:53):
If you haven't tried that, you should hey.
And if you guys like spongebob,yeah, we're about to do uh, one
of our patrons.
Ryan (29:55):
He's the medias of clackers in there.
That's right.
Yeah, only one spot.
Yes to the king.
You are king, sir.

patrick, starfish word.
You know why is it that you cando all the impressions of all
these, these characters, o'daySpongebob, o'day Patrick
Starfish, squidward.
Why is it that?
Myke (30:11):
you can do all the impressions of all these
characters.
Did you just watch the shit outof it or something?
Oh, dude, I did watch quite abit growing up.
Yeah, spongebob.
Ryan (30:16):
But if you're a patron and you have some kids of the age
that would like one of thesebottles, let us know.
