Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
represents show wants to start? Oh, I have a topic.
I just want to ask people. So all the guys
in the room seemed very stressed out about what they're

(00:23):
gonna wear. You're not okay, I was stressed until this weekend.
I think still still stressed. And then I have a
question about fashion that I need you guys to white
in on because I could be wrong, but I don't alone.
So we shouldn't talk about Brodie's pants first. Uh yeah,
okay Brodie's. So I spent the whole weekend trying to find,

(00:44):
like we talked about in the Big Show today, something
fabulous to wear at this wedding, at least brighter colors
than I normally wear. And everyone's like, oh, you just
wear a blue suit and then accessorize, you know, shirt whatever.
So I went chopping and I spent hours at multip
stores and I've finally picked out a shirt that fits well,
looks good, and it's I would say, it's mint green

(01:07):
with little purple pattern on it. Right, So I was like, oh,
I'll match the purple. That'll be good. It'll give me
a purple accent, right. So I got purple socks, have
a little mint green on them, and I went looking
for purple shoes of some kind. Could not find in
two malls and three stores purple shoes I like. So
I finally found a pair of purple shoes. But they're

(01:28):
they're a little dressed down there. They're sneakers, their purple,
and they have um. They're in with the theme of
Day of the Dead, which is sort of Elvis's theme.
Wed at the wedding. This microphone is broken, sorry, So
when I got him home, the sneakers are a little
too casual for the suit I want to wear. The
pant legs look a little too dressy with the low

(01:48):
profile sneaker. So my wife said, we'll try them on
with dark colored jeans, see if that works with a
sport jacket that goes with the jeans. So I have
a pair of really dark blue, really dark blue jeans.
I tried those on with the sport jacket and the shirt.
It all looks good, I think, and then the shoes
look better with the jeans than they do with the

(02:09):
suit pants. My concern is it's a fancy wedding. I
need to wear a suit, but the shoes don't look right.
So I have one day either to get dressed or
purple shoes or fuck it? And where the dark jeans?
I think you clearly didn't visit any of the pimp
shops I've seen in like the Bronx. I'm sure what
color is your cane? They're not purple purple, they're just yeah,

(02:33):
can we can we talk about something like? All right,
here's here's my philosophy on that. I know you're trying hard,
and I know Scary tried hard. You've got a lavender
jacket or something like that. Right, okay, Scary, you will
all tell me. I can tell you what's coming out.
Nate's about the hot splein. Yeah, you don't need to

(02:54):
try that hard. It's easy being this attractive. Now. I
think this wedding, I think it's to be great. I
think the first five minutes everybody's going to be looking
at what everybody else is wearing. After that, nobody's gonna
care exactly. I think everybody's gonna get three drinks in
and shoes. Your shoes are gonna come off at some point.
Your socks you're gonna be my heels. In my head,

(03:15):
there's a flip flop basket. Agree with yes. Once everybody
gets settled, nobody gives a fuck you went to sacks
to buy a new suit. I'm putting my easies in
my backpack because I plan on a shoe change. So
here's the thing. I agree that first five minutes I
think everybody's going to be doing Instagram pictures. You're gonna
being which is why I don't want fifteen minutes of
hell by making the wrong pant decision. Oh, Brodie's the

(03:36):
guy didn't wear suit pants. I don't just want to
know this though. Why Why is this specific wedding under
a microscope more than any other wedding I've been doing
my law I never felt that way. I don't feel like,
am I crazy? Am I missing? We're talking about this
wedding and how to dress in any other way because
I think it's just not the normal wedding. It's not

(03:57):
a black tie wedding or a you know, you know
you're just gonna wear a regular dress. He's asking for
a lot of color, he's asking for something different, so
people panic it's not the norm. When was the last
wedding that you went to where one of the people
getting married was a sort of a celebrity had celebrities
coming to the wedding? Was this extravagant? And uh, the

(04:19):
social media is gonna be outrageous? Was the last time?
What celebrity weddings have you been to? All? Right? Then,
do I think all of this is like within our
own control though, because the social media being ridiculous, it's
gonna be coming from us. If it's ridiculous, I'll laugh
my ass off of doctor Roses here in a black
black suit and a blue shirt. I guarantee there'll be

(04:42):
a lot of people what's gonna wear that's not at
this wedding? But but but to be honest, most of
the time women, I know, we go to the black dress.
So for us it's different because we're not just going
to the black dress. Because I think it's worse for
guys because the guys all, okay, I got my standard
black suit or my gray suites, and all you have

(05:02):
to do is and a colorful shirt like a bright pit.
I bought a brand new pair of shoes for this,
and I haven't had brand new shoes in like twelve years. Wow,
Well that's right. When Elvis took us to Sacks to
get shoes for everybody, but you had an appearance. You
couldn't make it. I couldn't make it. No, but three,
I will tell you I bought a pair of brand

(05:22):
new shoes for this And I'm like, well, it's Elvis's wedding.
I guess I got a splurge. Well wait, usually as
I wish he was in here. Where wait? Guarant tells us.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna ask the room. If you
go into Name and Marcus, how much do you think
you'll pay for a shirt? Three hundreds of dollars? Marcus

(05:45):
a few hundred. So Greg Gregg t win over the weekend.
He got measured, the woman handed him the shirt, saw
the price tag. He thought he was going to pay
under forty dollars is crazy. The shirt was a hundred
and eighty five dollars. That's that's a cheap shirt that
it was down. So he goes, that's too expensive for me.

(06:08):
I go, what do you expect? You walk in there
and then you think you're going to get an old
navy type button down shirt. Shops calls and I shop
a calls A nothing wrong with that, but there is
a price difference. Is a level of clothing Quality Calls
doesn't generally have lavender or geranium colored shirts. So then
he tried he would get a cheap belt, and then

(06:31):
his belt three. The shirt made him think he was
gonna get a cheap belt. Yeah, exactly, I'm confusing. Also,
the same guy who told me I would have no
problem finding a one bedroom apartment in New York for
seven dollars and oh yeah, that's a bunch that I
was still thinking. I know. I was telling him, like
the prices and everything I moved here. He's like, you're crazy,

(06:51):
You're crazy looking in the wrong dinner seven hundred dollars apartments.
Actually he was talking about the would talking about an
apartment in New York City's I'm gonna get a place
here just to crash, you know what I need to
I figure six seven hundred dollars, I can have a
place and stay here three or four nights a month. Yeah, sure,
just splitting the rent with the rats exactly. The homeless shelter,

(07:13):
isn't that expected is more expensive. It's insane because for
a second I was like, oh, I'm hopeful. Maybe I
just need to branch out. No average price for a
one bedroom apartment in New York City. Now, anybody wanted
to take a and that's not even a great one. Yeah,
that's about four square feet. I told him a studio
would work for him, and he goes, how much would

(07:35):
that be? I go probably around and now you're I'm
a liar. Yeah, we're talking about you getting an apartment
in New York City for seven I'm finding out you
can't do what I wanted. Believe you didn't realize you
couldn't do that. Well, it seems so ridiculous that, I mean,
it's a big city, right, Like if this is if this,

(07:56):
if this paper was New York City, Right, it's a podcast.
I'm holding a big with all these lines on it. Right,
so your figure there's in every single one of these
lines of the street. Right, there's hundreds of apartments and
on every one of these streets, right, So you're about
to find one that would be in your price rank.
Do you know how many people live in the New
York tri state area? Million? I know. So because there's

(08:19):
so many freaking people and they all wanted place, you
just can't get it. So then you're stuck with these high,
you know, priced ones, and then you can't afford that
we're also hearing that you think you can get a
shirt and even Marcus for less than forty bucks. Dude,
let me tell you. You can't pull the price tag off,
go up to the register with the price tag and
get it for forty bucks. So let me tell you
what happened for me. How much more time we have here?

(08:43):
So I said the Trish, I go listen. Since Ella's
got plaza, right, so I said, so, Ella's got a
soccer game up in this area, right, So then what
we'll do is, instead of going all back home, we
might as well go to the Guarden State Plaza. So
for those of us who are listening and don't know
the Tristate area, the Garden State Plaza is very very
very very large mall in the state of New Jersey, right, yeah, yeah,

(09:03):
you live up in Area County, and it's a beautiful mall. Beautiful.
So I said, let's go. So we got there, and
when we came off the highway, the way the car
puts us, the first parking lot is like right there
by Neiman Marcus. So I said, well, let's just park
here and we'll walk through and Marcus grab something. And
then everybody was hungry, so we can go eat after that.
So um, nobody said a word to me. So we
parked the car, we got out just ind my plan

(09:26):
went right to even Marcus and I said, Trish, what
do you with the shirt? She goes, okay, that looks nice. Great,
So I went to the cash red Shore to buy it,
and the lady like took it, you know, opened it up,
measure my my neck and everything. This will fit you terrific.
And then she looks ringing it up and it was
two hundred and dude, you know Neman Marcus has vallet.

(09:48):
I didn't know that too, because what did you do?
I did? So I said, did you go and retail
me not see if there was a Cooper. I didn't realize.
I'm like, who the hell would pay to order any
For sure? People's got money like that heary Joes. Come on, man,
I go to Target and for coals, Old Navy Walmart.

(10:13):
So I ended up getting at Macy's. It was great.
So then I said, well, I need a belt. Let
me get the belt. So she was getting with the belt,
but she didn't ring it up even she said, she goes, sweetheart,
the belt that you have that's three and I'm like,
for a freaking belt. Yeah, I totally did some person
because no, but I really am. But I'm saying, so

(10:33):
do you think about this? A belt was three and
a shirt was two hundred and eighty five. That is
well over five dollars um. But right, I mean that's unbelievable.
So I said to the woman, I'll take a dozen.
Of course, you know she's she's She laughed, and she

(10:55):
said to when to put it back? I said, yes, please,
I'm sorry made you open it up, but I can't.
We walked out and is so embarrassed and mad at me.
Now she's like, you've embarrassed us. What do you think
things cost like in Neiman Marcus that I'm like, you
know what, You're right. You should have gone back and
brought the threngin, all the belte a belt to make
your wife happy, you know what things? Cause I don't
because think about this. It was with everybody that right

(11:15):
now we use stitch Fix, we use all these other
monthly paying for it. No for the shirt, how by
the shirt? No? No, I'm saying, when you use these
these apps like yes, but but think about the prices
that we're used to paying so I really haven't been
to a mall in a long time, for real, legitimately,
so all of a sudden since nineteen seventies. Well, I mean,

(11:38):
but because we're so used to paying for things differently now,
Like I know, I went into a Rolls Royce dealership.
Cars aren't twenty thousand dollars that I'll know. So I mean,
even like I'm on my way home, I'll pull off
the road, go right to the nearest Walmart, run right
in and grab myself with an undershirt and then run
back out. Like shops at Neiman Marcus now the help
of the rich people. I mean, it's it is. Have

(11:59):
you have you been Marcus looking at the prices right now? Dude,
I couldn't have. So when I used to work, No,
I didn't. I didn't buy it. So I went to
Macy's and I got the shirt because says is great.
But you know what, the shirt looks the same. The
shirt looks the same. You know, you guys know many

(12:21):
years ago, I was a manager in a store in
Guarden State Plaza. We would refer to the customers who
went to Nemon Marcus and then came to our store
as the Neemon demons because they were the most awful, nasty.
They would throw clothing on the floor because they're not
used to cleaning up after themselves. That people who clean
up after themselves. I stood online with like thirty people.
I was like the person twenty nine and uh, I

(12:42):
felt like right at home. I felt like that's where
I belong. It was great ever do there? I was like, Wow,
what you get? I was asking people, Oh my god,
look you got Calclining underwear. That's so nice. Over NEMN Marcus.
They have like new names of like stuff I ever
heard him before, like and the ron under ran to
under runt underwear. I don't even know what that is.
It's like from to wear. Yeah, it's something like and
you know it's some designer they shirt. We're who wears that?

(13:05):
Who can afford that wears that? Nate's got a picture
right now of a Polo shirt, a blue Polo two
hundred and tom for it. But who would wear that?
Why would just Okay, the guy who knows it's Tom
Ford would wear it. And here's the thing name and
Marcus wouldn't be open if people didn't go there. Obviously

(13:27):
people shop there, but why are you shopping there when
you can shopping the why would you when you can
shopping get the same thing? It t it tastes not,
it's not. It's not the same. It's not it is
the same. It's not it is. What are you going
to share your Robert Graham, it's definitely like you used
to driver Mercedes, I know, pre owned. Hold who would

(13:49):
you say it's the same exact thing is driving a Hunday? Well,
the shut up. But it was still pre owned and
I'll drive a hunt My wife has a Hunda'm not
insulted on. But there's a difference between you know, a
Cassio digital watch and an expensive engine that drives far
and fast. But not like a shirt you put your
arms in. It's it's it's like a ridiculous thing. Epens

(14:13):
of stuff that looks exactly like inexpensive stuff. I don't
understand any because you're probably gonna get sick of it
at some point. I love with Gandhi on that. I'm
all about the look at the shirt here and look
at this one with the flowers. Two hundred and ninety
dollars and that is an ugly shirt. By the way,
tennis racket we wrote this one wrote this one or here.
Those are flowers. Look at that. That is ugly time. Okay,
