Is anybody even reading this anymore? We start out with some Yeezy talk. As much as I want to be done with the guy, he remains a pop culture fixture, and the man still has his pulse on what's coming next with regards to fashion and streetwear. You know we had to talk Irina and of course touch on the blue puffer jacket thing as well. Next up: just what the hell is Virgil doing with these fifty near-identical Dunks? Like, are they making a thousand of each of these or what? This sort of seems too good to be true (copping-wise) which means there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Virgil and Nike are both marketing geniuses, so don't write this off as a lazy throw-away just yet. Finally, before we drop our vacay recaps, we give some attention to the Rowing Blazers x Seiko watches dropping tomorrow (today?). They seem legit.

After that, we talk Cali vacations, but mostly we just emphasize our shock/awe that anybody leaves there for here. What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?

Ok, that's it, love you, bye.

Barrett and Phil convene after the long weekend to recap their joint staycation and expound on some additional candidates for "Perfect Vacation Shoe" that they didn't include last week. They also take some time to explore why dive bars seem to be having such a moment right now before exploring their shared interest in Eleven Madison Park's new completely vegan tasting menu. Last, but not least, they take a listener call from the hotline about what to wear to a non-team sporting event. (Care to leave us a voicemail???

It's all in the title, man!

Phil and Barrett are in the studio to talk about their favorite swim trunk options and to discuss that tricky question of what shoes to throw in the vacation bag when you're trying to hit the pool, stroll the beach, and of course, still get kits off. Also discussed: The best route to take from South Austin to the COTA race track. Oh, yes, and Taika Waititi (the God of Love & Thunder himself) kicks off Hot Vax Summer down under with an epic balcony show for the paps.

Barrett and Phil get together to talk about addiction to the SHOP app, break down Justin Bieber's disheveled new lewk, and give a review of Nike's new South Congress shop. On the back half of the pod, the dudes discuss Brendon Babenzien's appointment as J.Crew's new Chief Menswear Designer. Can the former Supreme creative director/brain behind Noah save the flailing brand? Additionally, does this mean our old favorite mall stores are finally buying in to the demand for streetwear? With Kanye's new Gap line coming soon and Jerry Lorenzo's ESSENTIALS line putting up numbers for PacSun, are we entering a potentially exciting era for these accessibly priced stalwarts of men's fashion? Or, are these moves just another example of dinosaurs moving too slowly. Is it too little, too late? Time will tell, but it certainly seems like a conversation that will continue to bubble up.

Barrett and Phil are back today to give some much-deserved shoutouts at the top of the pod, but then they dive in to new brands that have some real zip. Former Kanye West collaborator Mark Seekings has just launched his eponymous brand, SEEKINGS, a line that aims to pick up where Hedi Slimane left off when he exited Saint Laurent. Can he inject enough 2020s modernism and his own flavor of California Cool in to a look some might call passé to have genuine success? Next, Barrett brings up the heritage designer brand currently taking over your Explore Page, Bottega Veneta. Creative Director and designer Daniel Lee has already been creating highly sought-after handbags for several seasons now, but his Puddle and Tire Boots have now become the latest larger-than-life status symbol for dudes looking to stunt in outrageous footwear. Are these stompers a sign that its Bottega's turn to shine brightly in the menswear realm? Join us for the conversation.

Washed Media personality David Ruff joins host Barrett Dudley on this week's episode to discuss what's changed over the last couple of years on the shorts landscape, but first, the guys follow up on last week's discussion about Swiss performance brand ON Running. On the back half of the 'sode, Barrett makes Dave play a round of the Circling Back Podcast's famous "Stan, Mute, or Cancel" with some of the season's hottest sneaker releases.

Phil's back in the lab with Barrett at the Washed Media Studio to discuss how exactly Swiss performance brand ON Running managed to land themselves on the shelves of nearly every store imaginable and on the feet of half the people in the Home Depot gardening center. To be honest, it's not totally clear, and there doesn't seem to be much information available about the label anywhere on the web. So, the dudes also spend time talking about the new Hummer EV (kinda dope?), the new Land Rover Defender (definitely dope), and the new Nike store that's poised to open on Austin's South Congress strip.

Clayton Chambers is a southern-born, Brooklyn-seasoned content creator publishing the men's fashion and lifestyle newsletter, Sprezza. He joins Barrett on this week's episode to talk about everything from his initial turn at the helm of a successful tailoring-based style blog during the hashtag menswear era to why he considers a ritualistic post-dinner amaro an absolute must. Barrett and Clayton also make their way around to other summer cocktails and spirits, cooking in cast iron, brands that are making waves, and spring style kit talk.
