Ever wondered how far someone could get simply by looking official and speaking with confidence? This episode dives into the hilariously audacious world of a TikTok comedian who's built an entire brand around posing as an "OSHA Cares Diversity Affairs" representative. Armed with nothing but a white polo shirt, clipboard, and fake badge number, he walks into businesses and confronts management with absurd "anonymous employee complaints" – including one about someone "running around like he on powder" and management having "a personal vendetta against bisexual Brian."

From there, we dive into our signature random sample bag segment, pulling out a fragrance for review. The conversation unexpectedly evolves into a spirited debate about cats, the horrifying experience of opening wet cat food, and whether scented laundry products might be interfering with your carefully chosen fragrances – a consideration many perfume enthusiasts overlook.

throw it on air, let's do itlive I don't even know where I
was.

Ryan (00:56):

we're old.
I mean, we do put out somereels.

areas.
However, apparently there's aguy who and I don't know this is

(01:18):

There's some wild ass peopleout there.
This guy has started a company.
You're an entrepreneur, mike,by trade.

Over here I told you about myuh, middle school
entrepreneurial endeavors.

Ryan (01:36):
You did I started young he sold ice cream at the school?
Yeah, I did so.
This guy has made a company andit's sole purpose is people
employees of a business canwrite in, yeah, to said company
with complaints.
He then goes in person and heconfronts them with these

(01:59):
complaints.
Right, his motto with hiscompany hey, these are.
This is a real company andthese are real complaints.
Okay yeah.

Myke (02:07):
So initially when you told me, I was like, oh, this sounds
like john breaks bad news, butin person, in person.

Ryan (02:14):
So this guy apparently is a comedian by trade.
Yeah, I think as he goes ontour he uses that opportunity to
be in different locations.

Myke (02:22):
Like hey guys, I'm in Philadelphia.
Yeah, you know, you want me tohandle a problem with your
workplace.

Ryan (02:28):
Yeah, and I've been watching these.

these.
It just highlights, I meanwe've all been here.
Many of you may still be inthis situation.
Yeah, and God bless you if youare, because you do hard work.
Yeah, but sometimes you justrealize when you're working at a
company, the people above youare kind of dumb.

Myke (02:49):
You're kind of like I need a paycheck, but my job is the
literal version of hell on earthand I hate it here.
Yeah, and I'm tired of cominghere and I wouldn't come here if
they didn't pay me to come here.

Ryan (03:06):
But have you worked in a situation where you don't have
to say a specific company orwhatever?
But have you ever worked at acompany where you're just like
man?

Myke (03:11):
the people above me that are supposed to be the ones in
charge are fucking ignorant, ohyeah multiple times,
surprisingly enough and I don'tknow if that's just my own like
you, know how you're just.
You get frustrated with peopleand then you're just immediately
like they're idiots.
Why are they so dumb?
If they gave me that job, Iwould be great at it and no one

(03:34):
would ever think that about meeverybody has that feeling.

Ryan (03:40):
Yeah, exactly.
Well, this guy is smart andthat he calls it osha cares
diversity affairs, and the funnything is he's wearing a white
polo with the logo on it, yeah,and a white hat.
He honestly looks like he worksat marble slab, but he walks in
with a clipboard with the notesfrom people that have written

(04:02):
in complaints these are realcomplaints and he there are tons
of videos here.
Now this is just like one ortwo.

Right, that's what it takes.

Agent Ratliff ID Number (06:36):
Things are totally anonymous, but I am
going to read them verbatim ofwhat they're saying.
It says right here, loud, forno reason.
Always in people's businessit's a lot of jealousy going on
around here.
Y'all be paying, y'all beunderpaying people, y'all have a
high turnover rate.
I don't know who he is, but itsays he be running around here

(06:58):
like he on powder and it sayshe's holding a personal vendetta
against bisexual brains.

Male Karen (07:04):
I just want to know you guys' side of the story.
What's going on inside thiswarehouse?
Is this correct?
This is OSHA.

Agent Ratliff ID Number 337 (07:14):
Yes , osha Cares, diversity Affairs.
My name is Agent Ratliff, idnumber 33712.
When they said he be runningaround like he on powder, they
spell powder with an A, not anE-R.
Y'all tell whoever's coming towork on.

Ryan (07:33):
Oh shit, these people are seriously listening to this
motherfucker.
Excuse me, you're with OSHA.

Myke (07:45):
You're telling me I'm speaking to OSHA specifically
right now.
Osha Cares, diversity Affairs.
This is Agent Ratliff.
You're talking to ID number3315.
He's walking around here onpowder and they spelled it with
an A.

Agent Ratliff ID Number (08:04):
Cocaine or powder that they heart can
bust.
What about the high turnoverrate?
Because, it says, it seems likeit's a revolving door around
here.

Janice (08:14):
The turnover rate is for many reasons.
We are a cold facility.

Agent Ratliff ID Number 3371 (08:19):
So it's a high turnover rate
because it's cold and it saysright here holding a personal
vendetta against bisexual Brian.
Can we get bisexual Brian inhere?
Where is he?
Can we get his out of the story?

Myke (08:30):
I don't know the sexuality of anybody else we need to
speak with bisexual Brian.
Hey, man, I don't know a goshdarn thing about sexuality.
Up in here Seems a littleguilty.
He's the first one to speak out.
Hey, hey, wait a second.
You know, my name is brian, butI don't even know what sex is
out here, are you saying?

Agent Ratliff ID Number 3 (08:53):
brian , brian, bisexual brian, because
it says, y'all holding apersonal vendetta in here I only
know one, brian in the buildingright now but his sexuality I
can't speak to that.

Myke (09:03):
Can you go?

Agent Ratliff ID Number 337 (09:04):
get , because I feel like it's a.
I feel like it's a lot ofsecrets being kept.

Male Karen (09:09):
I've gone through some OSHA complaints and this is
very different than any OSHAone.

Agent Ratliff ID Number 33 (09:16):
I've ever dealt with.
Yeah, this is a real companyand we deal with real complaints
.
It's like you guys trying tohide something, but I'm going to
get them skeletons out of thecloset, and you just confirmed
that it's a Brian that workshere.
I need to speak with bisexualBrian.
Y'all need to get him here andget to the bottom of this.

Male Karen (09:34):
Hold on one second.
This is not normal.
If we could get your ID andyour name and just please hold
on for one moment, we're gonnago ahead and call OSHA and
confirm who you are.

Agent Ratliff ID Number 337 (09:46):
Yes , because I'm not leaving until
I speak with bisexual Brian.

Myke (09:53):
I'm assuming at that point they contact OSHA.
His ID number is bullshit, yeah, and then they're like peace.

Ryan (10:02):
So that's the end of the video, dude there are a lot more
wild ones than that.
I'll let you listeners go outand find it.
But if you want to find thisguy, go to TikTok.

Myke (10:13):
Believe it or not.
There's one about a guy whogets caught masturbating on a
webcam.
You know we'd hate to do anywild ones on here.
We'd hate to do any wild oneson here.

Ryan (10:27):
This guy's handle is C-A-L-I-M-A-R, underscore white,
but the E is a three at the endof it.
Oh man, it just shows you, dude, we have been privy to this in
life.
We see so many things,decisions made.
We're like who are the fuckingidiots that run this thing?

(10:48):
Not just businesses, just amillion other things.
It just shows you.
These people are like fumblingover their words, Like, oh God,
bisexual Brian.
It's like what the hell.

Myke (10:58):
Hey, listen here y'all.
There is a Brian, but I don'tknow, I don't know anything.
Does he have sex?
I have no clue.

Ryan (11:08):
I figured he's like the rest of us.
It feels good.
He does it.
Now to his sexual desires.
I don't have a clue.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, there's that little bitof fun, uh-huh.
Well, let's get into today'srandom sample bag.
I'll let you do the honor.
I thought I did it last timedid I not I don't think so.

(11:30):
I mean, I brought this you, youbring okay fine, I'll reach
into the random sample bag andI'll pull out.

Myke (11:43):
Hopefully it's good, oh, cartier's declaration I thought
we already done that.

Ryan (11:49):
One did we already do that .
I'm pretty confident we've donethat before a listener request.
Okay, I'm almost 100 sure sorry, not so random.

Myke (12:03):
Now, how about john varvatos, artisan blue.
I don't think we've done that,let's do it.
Artisan blue.

Ryan (12:09):
I don't think we've done that.
Let's do it.
Oh, oh, alrighty, designer,we're thinking it's just going
to be pretty, it'll smell good,pretty chill.
Yeah, nothing game-breaking.

Myke (12:27):
I don't know, I do like me some John Varvatos.

Agent Ratliff ID Number 337 (12:29):
Hmm .

Ryan (12:33):
I mean for being a John Varvatos.
I mean I know it's aninexpensive brand.
Definitely probably alreadyfind this on the gray market
even cheaper, pretty loud.
Yeah, it's definitely that it'sclean.
I mean it's artisan blue.

Myke (12:49):
I'm assuming this is like shower jelly type or yeah.
I mean, I'm definitely gettingkind of that citrusy clean.
Not at all what I thought itwas going to be, mainly because
the only John Barbetosfragrances that I'm used to are
the sweeter ones.
Yeah, I haven't smelled a lotof John Barbetos, but this is
not very sweet, it's verymasculine.
Yeah, clean, yeah.

Ryan (13:10):
I mean comparing it to you had XX.
Isn't that the one you bought?

Myke (13:13):
Yeah that one and they had 19 flankers.
Off of that, off of that oneJust off of XX.

Ryan (13:19):
Yeah, really, yep, and I don't think we've smelled any of
those after that.
Then, dude, that one, for real,was a badass fragrance.
Why did you just stop caringabout wearing that?
I gave it to Forbis, okay, well, if I go for Grantica and give
you a little bit of popularityon it, it's got a 4.02 out of 5.

(13:45):
Quite a bit of votes Launchedin 2016.
Don't know.

Myke (13:51):
So this is a flanker off of John Barvado's.

Ryan (13:53):
Artisan, which is I haven't smelled that.
Have you smelled that one?
I don't know if I did or not.

Myke (14:00):
Maybe I got like a little travel atomizer of it whenever I
got XX.

Ryan (14:04):
Doesn't that say who the perfumer is on this bad boy?

Myke (14:08):
I got a Fragrantic and Review from Dude43.
Yes Says.
Imagine the Incredible Hulkknocked over the cleaning
detergent aisle in Target Tideand Febreze spilling everywhere.
Wow, he's actually hitting thesouth of the park.
There you have it Clean up onaisle nine.

Ryan (14:25):
Yeah that's it.
I mean it's not unpleasant,it's not as chemically as
walking down down the laundrydetergent aisle, but pretty,
actually, goddamn accuratedescription.
It's pretty much like a collageof all those smells, you know
what I'm saying.

Myke (14:42):
Yeah, on the card it smells very nice and doesn't
have that smell, but on the skinit does smell, like one of
those, you know the littletablet fabric softeners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it kindof like one of those you know,
the little tablet fabricsofteners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it kindof reminds me of something like
that.

Ryan (14:54):
Wait, you're talking about the little bitty, the tiny ones
like the power booster onesMm-hmm.
Yes, yeah, because you've beencomplaining to me about one I've
been using.
Yes, I have been.
You've been like did you spraysomething on mine?

Myke (15:07):
I don't know it and it's loud.
Really You're like oh yeah, man, I have this clean smell.
I'm like you have that flowerysmell.

Ryan (15:15):
So do you think it's doing me a disservice by washing my
clothes in there?
Absolutely so you think?

Myke (15:28):
I honestly believe we've talked about this.
We were in a local coffee placeof business and a couple of
ladies smelled our differentfragrances.
Yes, they of course loved mine,because I was wearing insidious
layered with straight to heaven.
I'm remembering this now.
They loved it.
I mean, they were just went onand on.
Yeah, they hated yours, Iremember that as well.
Yeah, and they said it smellslike an old lady, but you were

(15:51):
wearing garland vetiver yeah,shockingly that they said that
one but, you think you get thatuh, no, I'm trying to say that I
think maybe it was the factthat you've been power boosting.
Then maybe she was smellingyour boosted power more than she
was smelling the actualfragrance you're wearing what do

(16:11):
you wash your clothes in?

Ryan (16:12):
Just a Tide Pod.
Do you think I should gounscented?
Is that a thing?
Should we be going unscented?
I would.

Myke (16:18):
I don't like when my clothes have a big smell to them
.

Ryan (16:22):
I can't lie, I do, Especially when you get them out
of the dryer.
It's warm.
You got that nice, clean smell.

Myke (16:34):
God damn it, it's so good, but then that conflicts with
what you're wearing, like yourfragrances, I guess in theory.
Yeah, it does.
I mean, don't get me wrong, Iwant my sheets and my pillows
and everything else to smellclean.
Yeah, my clothes, I just wantthem to smell not bad, and then
I'll, each day I'll pick out howI want them to smell by going.

Ryan (16:51):
Have I seriously been ruining my, my wearings?
I bet so Bet.
You guys didn't think we wouldtalk shop on laundry detergent
did you?

Myke (17:02):
Hey, speaking of Febreze and laundry detergent, did you
know that Febreze used to beodorless?
I did not know that.
Yes, and people who had likebad smells in their house pet
odor whatever they'd use it.
But then they'd use it one timeand the smell would be gone and
then they would just stop usingit.
And it's because, you knowhomeowners, you get like anosmic

(17:25):
to the smell of your house.
That's why, like people withcats, example, can't ever smell
that their house smells fuckingterrible Because they're around
them all the time.
And then they're always likewhy cats?
They're so clean and so and yougo to their house and you're
like, oh, my God smells like afucking petting zoo in here.

(17:46):
But they're like no, notmittens, it's because they get
an osmic to the smell of it Ismittens, a black cat with white
socks or something Of course.
So, either way, they actuallyadded the smell to trigger the
reward system in the people'sbrains.

(18:07):
That would spray it to wherethey would keep using the
product.

Ryan (18:10):
So in theory the product actually did its damn job.

Myke (18:14):
It did.
But our problem is we get soused to smells that they
couldn't really tell thedifference.

Ryan (18:21):
Huh, that is wild.
Yeah, let me tell you asomewhat of a cat story.
Great, I had a raccoon in ourattic.

Myke (18:29):
So you decided to get a cat no, no, a raccoon in our
attic.

Ryan (18:31):
So you decided to get a cat.
No, no, but I got a cage andthey were like, hey, this will
help you catch.
It's a trap, they'll help youcatch your raccoon.
I said what kind of food shouldI put out for this wreck?
And they go.
They love cat food, wet catfood specifically, yeah.
So I said okay.
And so I was like I wasthinking of like the nastiest
thing to get that would likeattract a wild ass animal.

(18:53):
You know some funky thing andit has some Alfredo Salmon thing
for cats.
Oh, yes, the Alfredo SalmonDude.
It was fucking disgusting.
Just opening it like this, turnaway the like top plastic part,
like you know.
And the juices squirted allover my fucking hand.
Dude, I wanted to fucking throwup, dude, okay, and I'm like

(19:17):
people feed their fucking petsthis shit.
And then I was thinking it'sgot to come out too.
It's gross going in, it's got tobe even grosser coming out,
just to kind of go with thewhole your anti-cat, uh
establishment thing, you hadgoing on, for sure, yeah uh, but
I'll be damned if thatmotherfucker didn't get trapped

(19:40):
up in there within like lessthan 12 hours, that's all it
took.
Some smelly ass, cat food, goddude swear to god, handling the
raccoon was less gross thanhandling cat food.
Is that something people feedtheir cats all the time, or is
that like a treat?

Myke (19:56):
Ride us in.
We swear we won't pick on youfor having a cat.
Do you feed your cat?
That disgusting shit.

Ryan (20:06):
And if Mike's wrong about your house smelling like total
cat shit, well, this is thething you wouldn't know We've
gone through.

Myke (20:13):
Is the thing you wouldn't know We've gone through this
right, you wouldn't know you gotthat smelly ass cat.
I will have to go to bat forsomebody.
Oh okay, here's what you playdevil's advocate here on.
As soon as we stop thisrecording, you'll be like dude
cats.
They're the worst People whoown them, the worst Dude,
smelliest people alive.

(20:33):
Phoebe had it right.
Oh shit, smelly cat.

Ryan (20:38):
Good Lord, Go to bat.
There may be a little truth towhat he's saying, but I am going
to say from personal experienceyes, Like 99 out of 100 times.
I'm with you on that 999 out of1,000 times of 100 times.
I'm with you on that 999 out ofa thousand times.
This one time, though, I didnot know they had a cat, but
they kept it in a separate roomand it came out one time and it

(20:58):
like, just you know, it was like, yeah, it went back, but I was
like, oh, I didn't know theyeven had a cat.
But it's because they give itchained up to a radiator in that
one room remember I'mdefinitely not going to go into
specifics of this, but we workeda job one time.
They were like, hey, there's acharcuterie board over there.

Myke (21:16):
Yes and yes, they had a charcuterie board.
They also had a fucking freerange cat in the house walking
all over and near that shit andwe were like, nope, I think I'd
rather have the, the Alfredosalmon.
Can that you have over here?

Ryan (21:36):
They could have held a Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro
with tritium sights to our headand they would have had to blow
our fucking brains out, Dude.

Myke (21:42):
they'd have to pull the trigger 17 times plus one.

Ryan (21:45):
Dude, I was not going to touch that shit.
Yeah, are you weird about shitlike that?
The cats, I mean, you know,like certain environments, just
like I'm not gonna eat in thisenvironment.

Myke (21:57):
oh yeah, yeah, for sure I mean, but if they have a dog, a
dog can walk up and literallysneeze on my food.
I'll still eat.
I love dogs, I don't care.
Yeah, I mean, it is blatantisy.
You guys can call me out allyou want and I'll go.
Yeah, I admit it, I love dogs.
Oh, I do too, I love every dog.

Ryan (22:17):
They're just so special.
That's why I don't get what thepeople like in cats so much,
because they got attitude yeahthey got catitude remember.

Myke (22:29):
It doesn't smell bad, it does smell like it's kind of got
like a neroli type vibe to iton the skin or on the card on
the skin.

Ryan (22:37):
do you know a little bit?
Now I will say this side note.
But talking about john vervetos, the artisan line, I did tell
you about the artisan that tillone, because to me it I'm just
gonna say like it is, becauseI'm this person it smells like a
poor man's.
You just wore it today,greenlee.
Yeah, to me it smells like aversion of that.

Myke (22:59):
By the time you hear this episode, I may have finished
that bottle of Greenlee.
I'm so close.
You said you had like what 10mil or 15 mil?
Yeah, 10 to 15 mil left andyou're just going ham on it when
you spray it.
I will wear it every day untilit's gone.

Ryan (23:13):
I'm that close.
What's got you on that tip tobe like that?

Myke (23:15):
Well one, the weather occasionally is warm.
It's surprising us here lately.
Don't jinx it, it's been warmout and I just noticed.
I was like damn, I'm gettingpretty close to the end of this
bottle.
There's something satisfyingabout finishing a bottle of

(23:37):
fragrance.

Ryan (23:37):
I can get with you on that so I'm like I'm not just gonna
let this thing hold space here10 mil, I'll just wear it.
So you said it's got an arolivibe.

of really simple.

Ryan (24:26):
It seems like there's a lot of green in these notes.
Right For something that's blue.
Yeah, going on there.
Uh, I do get the neroli vibe.
I guess that probably might bethe bitter orange, the bergamot,
somewhere around yeah, I bet.

Myke (24:42):
so I'm just glad it didn't lean aquatic.
Were you thinking it was goingto you never know?
No, with the blue in the name,because Dylan Blue goes aquatic.
Oh, you don't like that oneanymore.
No, the dry down goes aquatic,and I'm like I'd rather wear
Alfredo Salmon or, sorry,salomon.

(25:04):
You like to hit every letter inthat.
Is it Salomon or Salmon?

Ryan (25:08):
We've had this discussion.
It's Salomon, it is salmon yeah.
Did I always say salmon yeah,so it's not salmon, no.

Myke (25:15):
It's salmon, because Cynthia posted on our story one
time on Instagram go ahead andpronounce the L in salmon.
I guess we're just doingwhatever the hell we want these
days and I commented on it andsaid this is specifically
targeted at Ryan.
I can feel it.

Ryan (25:31):
Sorry, cynthia, let me tell you the price.
I've already told you the trendearly on, but I'm just going to
give you gray market becausethat's where you guys are
probably going to end up gettingthis Fragrance net.
We're not affiliated.

(25:52):
Wish we were.
A 4.2 ounce bottle of thisHefty boy 125 ml.
Yeah, okay, $32.

Myke (26:00):
Cool, she cheap.
What do you think with thatprice tag?
I spritz this on in the summer.

Ryan (26:07):
I mean it even says it's for like a summer thing.
You've said that.
I guess I kind of get that.
Would you wear this?

Myke (26:14):
out to the pool, ryan, maybe you just hang out under an
umbrella and chat for a while,smelling like this.

Ryan (26:21):
No, there's some better stuff out there, really yeah.

Myke (26:25):
Because I feel like this is like the 4711 type vibe too,
Probably hangs out a littlelonger, a little louder.
God, I feel like 4711 pantses.

Ryan (26:33):
This you think so?
Yeah, that's like 10, 15 bucks,you don't think so?
I don't know if I agree withyou that one's like crazy neroli
and badass smelling kind ofvintage.
I feel like this is neck andneck.
I don't know how you're, howyou're going with that, but hey,
it's your opinion.

Myke (26:51):
I'm living yeah, I be.
I'm allowed to be wrong Likecat people.

Ryan (27:00):
Boy, I feel like we're going to get a lot of right
hands from a certain group ofpeople out there.

Myke (27:08):
Some of the feline persuasion.

Ryan (27:11):
How dare you say that about Tom?

Myke (27:13):
Yeah, I always rooted for Jerry.
Well, are you going to skip it,sample it or buy it?
What are you going to do, ryan?

Ryan (27:27):
This is even at this price point, that's a cheap price
point 30 bucks, it's an easyskip.
Wow, damn, it's like notinspiring.
It's very's very.
I mean it does not smell bad,it just smells generic, kind of
cheap.
I mean, I've smelled some otherjohn vervetos.
I'm gonna tell you they likethe double x that you had.

(27:47):
Yeah, it's great, legit.
It rivals some niche fragrances.
It's really fucking good to me.
Yeah, boozy apple-y god, thatapple's fucking insane and one
of the best.
Yeah, this is just.

Myke (27:59):
I can't get the laundry detergent vibe out of my head,
oh yeah I mean I could get thesmell, just boosting my clothes,
you know what I'm saying, dude,but just think about how much
money you'd spend on thoseboosters compared to just a 30
bottle of artisan blue I meanthe big ass booster from uh
sam's only 19 bucks or some shit.

Ryan (28:17):
So you're practically there.
Is this a skip?
A sample?

Myke (28:21):
no, I think it's a sample.
I'd recommend people sample it.

Ryan (28:24):
So basically going to you know dillard's or macy's, and
yeah, try it and see what youthink I mean for me.

Myke (28:30):
Nah, yeah, but I don't think it's terrible.
I think for the price tag.
If you want a summer wear, thisis inoffensive, it'll get you
there.
Probably has better longevitythan 4711.
That shit is gone in fiveminutes.

Ryan (28:41):
Yeah, it is.
But God, those first fiveminutes are great.
They're juicy.

Myke (28:47):
This has a little twang on it.
Could be that it's been sittingin a decant for I don't know
four years.
Yeah, that place is back aliveagain.
Oh yeah, it died and came back.
It was alive, it died, it cameback.
The Lazarus of fragrances.

Ryan (29:03):
Quick story before I get out of here.
My life circumstances guided meto a TJ Maxx this weekend Been
there before.

Myke (29:12):
Wow, remember when I was broke?
Yeah, wow.

Ryan (29:14):
Wow, remember when I was broke?
Yeah, wow, what the hell are wedoing?
People, why is TJ Maxx at leastwhere I'm at why is it so
ridiculously packed?
Number one, I mean.
When I say packed, I mean afucking, I'm not making this up.
There was a fucking line fromthe cash register all the way

(29:35):
back to the fucking restaurantsin the back of the store.
Geez dude, it was insane.
I'm like, guys, we're, we'reshopping at the same place.
Right, this is like overpricedstuff, like it's really people
think they're getting deals,that they're really.
I mean, I'm not seeing it, guys, I'm just not seeing it.
But here's the number two part,the most serious part of this

(29:55):
whole fucking stupid story.
Okay, I'm just trying to getout of there and by the front
there is a fragrance.
I wouldn't call it a counter,it's like a fragrance kiosk.
Okay, yeah, it's like a littlecolumn of fragrances.
And it's just got literally ahandful.
We have more in our pantryright there of full bottles.

Myke (30:14):
Well, we're an award-winning fragrance.
Podcast Ryan.

Ryan (30:17):
Yes, so we do have that on them.
Yeah, but it's like a littlesmall jewelry rotating case type
thing, yeah, and it had likecool water jupe, just a bunch of
just regular stuff.
Good stuff, good stuff, butnothing crazy expensive.
It's under lock and key andthey have a fucking doorbell
button on it that you have topress a button for to ring

(30:38):
somebody to come let you checkout fragrances and the
fragrances cost 18 bucks.
Dude yeah, and there's a fuckingline nobody can take a break
from that to like come help youwith your simpleton ass and
smelling juke.
Poor own yikes dude.
I don't know what's up with tjmaxx.
You guys need to hit't knowwhat's up with TJ Maxx, you guys
need to hit me to.
What's so great about thatplace?

(30:58):
Because it is fucking nuts.

Myke (31:01):
Well, as we were hip to it .
It's very similar to DollarGeneral having to shut down
their self-checkouts becausepeople were stealing off-brand
Girl Scout cookies and shit.

Ryan (31:12):
So you think they're just stealing fragrances?
That much Maybe, so they cansteal anything else in that
store, but it's these cheapfragrances.

Myke (31:19):
Yeah, I'm surprised.
Why wouldn't you go for thescratch and dent Nike socks or
some shit?

Ryan (31:28):
All I got to say is I'm just not understanding TJ Maxx,
I don't know.
You know what's funny?
When we first started thispodcast, I used to look for
deals for fragrances.

Myke (31:37):
Yeah, because we've seen people do that.
We were just emulating whatother influencers were doing.
You know, out there looking inthe TJs and the TKs trying to
find some juicy juice on thecheap.

Ryan (31:50):
Do you think it's like, is it like a fathomable thing to
do to like go to Ross's andstuff like that?
Or do you think you just getthe best deal online and just
find somewhere cheap online andget it?

Myke (31:58):
I think your best bet is probably to go like a rack store
, like the outlet type thingsfor like Nordstrom's or Neiman's
or something like that.
If you can find like theirdiscount warehouse type things
oh, they have that forfragrances though Well, they'll
have fragrances in the ragstores.

Ryan (32:18):
yeah, okay, yeah I got confused because you know when
we go to taro that around thatarea there's that one place that
you've taken me into before.
Is it perfume mania?

Myke (32:25):
oh, oh, yeah, yeah we've been there too, but that's their
.
Some of their designer stuff ison the cheaper side, but their
niche shit.
They're charging nearly fullretail and I'm like get the full
couch of air with that type ofshit.

Ryan (32:43):
Were you trying to do?
What's his name?
Because you definitely came offlike the Lucky Charms character
.

Myke (32:49):
Yeah, yeah, I was just trying to get like a you know,
Irish sort of a thing.
It was like I don't know if itwas like conor mcgratter's like
grandpa or something you knowyeah hey guys, we love you and
until next time spray it upy'all.
