Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Happy Friday. Yeah, I caught another small cold, but
it's not gonna stop me from bringing you classic A
and G. All Right, last week I went through the
archives found a segment from now. If you remember, Black
(00:24):
Friday used to be a really big holiday, very popular,
and it was a big deal. You'd see people lining
up outside the department stores and waiting intense to get
all the best deals they can. Well, it became ridiculous,
and of course Black Friday now is just not a
big deal. You can get the same deals, you can
get great deals online, and you can get them way
before Black Friday. This segment from Joe Getty talks about
(00:48):
Black Friday, and he also talks about the struggles of
buying jeans, all the different types of jeans there are
and how he struggles with this. This segment also includes
two of our famous clips, The King of Black Friday
Day and Lyndon Johnson with his famous bunghole comment needs
room in his bung hole. Yes, believe it or not,
this is from These clips are almost ten years old now,
(01:09):
which I can't believe. So let's go back to Gladys
when Joe Getty complains about Black Friday and how difficult
it is for him to buy jeans. Michael was right.
He came in here during the commercials. I don't think
you were in the room. Black Friday Cyber Monday is
my Columbus Day. That is my job. As you loathe
(01:33):
Columbus Day, I now loathe those two fake shopping occasion.
Somebody texted, got the same price yesterday? Cyber Monday is
two weeks ago on Amazon for everything I purchased. Okay,
so there you go. I got, by the way for
people who waited in line. I got an Xbox on
November twenty two. I pre ordered on Amazon. It was
delivered the day it was released. I didn't sleep on
(01:53):
any sidewalks. Here's someone says, I camped out in front
of my computer for a week and a half or
to be the king of Cyber Monday. It was hell,
that's pretty funny, very nice, as I think it was.
You suggested on the leading up to Black Friday. Are
these people waiting in line for a week? Are they
(02:13):
just homeless people who want to be on the news,
So they claimed, How can I claim to be the
king of Black Friday if somebody's beating me? Yeah, I
believe that clip came from a local news report, and
if I remember right, the guy was wearing a crown
and a cape and just proud his heck to talk
to that reporter. You gotta love man on the street stories.
(02:36):
Over the years, local news reports, they've given us a
lot of funny soundbites. Normally AM waiting in line under
a bridge, but this week it's at the target. All right,
nobody's gonna ask that guy, why do you want to
be the king of Black Friday? What value is in that?
(02:56):
To whom do you say that? Is there a crown?
Have I told you about the time what I got
hit by a bottle? Who is a trucker throw out
of his truck? You know what's there? Now? One week
a year we want to hear from you. The rest
of it, No, not so much you and your lifestyle
and your thoughts. Fifty one weeks a year. Nothing anybody
(03:18):
want to hear the time I got hit by a
bottle of whizz a crucker throughout the window. That's a
good story. Hey, you know, speaking about fitting and shopping
that that sort of thing. I yeah, listen, I know
I'm no fashion plate. By the way, For those who've
never seen a picture virtually every day parajeans in an
(03:40):
untucked dress shirt. Um. Sometimes I'll tuck it in if
it's you know, particularly hanging down here or whatever. But
I go jean shopping for the first time in a
while because I realized my suburban dad jeans are almost
uniformly like, way too stonewashed for right now. I mean,
they're not like eighties hair metal stone washed, but they're
(04:02):
you know, light colored, faded jeans. You know, you see
the dark ones more often. So I think, all right,
what the hell? And I go and and and for
my entire life, child adult, you gotta know how fat
you are? And roughly how long your legs are? Are
you a thirty four thirty four? You thirty two thirty four? There?
You know whatever you need to measurements. Well, I go
to the store the other day. It was it was
(04:24):
the wreck where I like to do my shoppings, and um,
and I became aware that there's this this whole series
now of of of different standards and styles. And I
mean I'm looking at um, do you mean like straight
leg versus boot cutting? Yeah, Now that I was fairly
familiar with, and that when that first came into being
(04:46):
I It tired me out. Um, I mean, because that's
now more data boot cut or straight leg. But okay,
I can comprehend that. You got your boot cut, you
got your relaxed fits, you at your skinny, you got
your slim fit, you got your traditional fit, you got
your straight cut, you got your low rise, medium, high rise,
(05:08):
and then you go to a different genes manufacturer. For instance,
what I'm wearing right now, kids, you not is tradition. No,
I can't see my own heine and the patches back there.
Um it is heritage slim fit, heritage slim, And I'm
looking at this label saying it's what slim used to
(05:29):
be as opposed to what slim is now. I don't
have the slightest idea relaxed straight, relaxed boot. Do you
get a little extra room from your zipper on back
to your BH? You got room through your keys in
your pocket knife like Lyndon Johnson, new vintage straight, new
vintage straight vintage boot. Steve McQueen is a kind of gene.
(05:56):
I gotta wear those. I don't care what they are.
I'm wearing the Steve McQueen Fender original Straights HEROD did
slim right there, that's what I'm wearing. Hey, that looks
good on f Feller, which is looking on me. I'm
a little lumpier. Knee is authentic skinny. Wow. Look I'm
a little fat and my legs are thirty two inches long.
(06:20):
Would you like relaxed straight or boot cut? Slim heritage
relaxed seat with a little extra room around your bh
What they need the lb J cut, you know we wanted, Michael.
This is when I start scrambling frantically going through our
(06:41):
thousands of clips. But luckily I know where it's at.
What they need is a consultant, because what I often
say to the girl that's working there, Yes, lb J,
you can't leave me about it? Uh round under my
back of my bung hole. It's it's the burp in
(07:01):
the middle that really adds to the most powerful man
on planet Earth having a conversation with his Taylor about
his pants for new listeners. That was lb J as
the sitting president. Yeah, that was an actual call, quite amazing.
It's hard to believe in the middle. You're right, is
the astounding. It's not that hard to believe that the
Kennedy's called him Colonel Corn pone to his face. If
(07:24):
that's the way he talked regularly. Um, I often want
to consultant, but usually the people that work at the
store are too young, you know, to really for me
to get the right perspective anyway, But I always I don't.
I don't really want to look like has given up Dad,
But I don't want people to laugh at me. Well,
(07:44):
so I want something for hurting my feelings. I want
something I want I want something in between. See, well, yeah,
see I've given up Dad. What does that mean? I'm sensible,
I'm raising my children. I'm not. I don't need girls
to look at my ass to feel good about myself.
All right. On the other hand, I did see it
actual applyly to you. But you know what I'm talking about.
(08:05):
I do know what I'm talking about because I saw
a picture of myself coaching soccer and the asked my
jeans was very sagging, and uh, it just it looked,
it looked awful. It was terrible. Generally, the I've given
up Dad's wearing coaches shorts or slam Yes, I do always,
But you know, I'm thinking about the restaurant where I've
been shopping for jeans lately. He says, hoping people have
(08:27):
forgotten even though I said it specifically, I need a nice,
non snarky, thirty year old man to say to say, look, brother, honestly,
just a quick look at you. I'm thinking you need
the heritage slim. That would be very handy, and I'd say,
(08:48):
thank you very much, dial me up. Oh that would
be so handy. Oh yeah, Beach start trying to figure
out what authentic taper is the hell you're listening to
the arms Strong and Getty show Yep, that was Neil
Diamonds Forever in blue jeans the bumper I went out with.
As for myself, sorr As jeans go. I just buy
Levi's like I have for years and years and make
(09:09):
sure that I got the right size and that they
look decent. I'm not too fussy about it, you know.
I sort of do miss when Black Friday was truly
an event. You see some ridiculous things, I know on YouTube.
I remember watching Black Friday videos where you'd see on
Walmart open and people just running through the store nearly
trampling each other to get a twenty nine do DVD player,
(09:30):
which probably didn't last a month. Is just ridiculous. But
it was entertaining to watch on YouTube. I will admit that.
Oh I hope you enjoyed this week's segment from Guess.
A little taste of what Black Friday used to be
and uh, how difficult it can be to buy jeans.
So join me next week when I'll bring you some
more classic A and G. Until then, well, I guess
(09:51):
that's it.
