We cozied up with YSL's MYSLF, Austin Butler's new spray and its familiar, green apple aroma. But that's not all we chatted about. We also wondered about the potential of hypoallergenic fragrances for our friends with allergies and shared our personal experiences with Creed of Aventus. This conversation also led us to revisit our memories of fragrance encounters and the joy of sharing them with others.
And in a surprising twist, we dove into the world of video games, drawing interesting parallels between the competitive environment and real-life scenarios. We also reflected on the cost of luxury with the high-priced YSL fragrance. And before we called it a day, we had to investigate the 'Panty Dropper' fragrance to see if it lives up to its bold name.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Clone Podcast.
Myke:I'm Mike and I'm Ryan and we're two best friends, one of us getting over COVID, oh my God, and one of us scared of getting COVID yeah, see if you can, throughout the course of this episode, see which one is which. But today we're going to be smelling hopefully myself, yeah, yeah, smelling yourself myself YSLs myself. I'll be checking that out. In fact, I've got a Frank Grant to go. Review from Face who says nothing really stood out on this one Very generic and disappointing release. Four out of ten Brutal.
Ryan:I believe it. Yeah, do you believe it? Are you believing that there's going to be an issue with this one?
Myke:I'm a believer, so there's probably going to be some issues with this one being that sweet generic designer fragrance that you know we typically get when we reach out into those department stores to look for some to smell.
Ryan:Look, I don't think we're ruined by niche. Okay, I don't think we're snobs. No, no, no, there's still some designer shit that are must for me. One will always be aqua de joe De joe and of course I guess it's the parfum now instead of perfume, but that is a must, I think that is a staple always will be in my collection. Other would be original and the extreme version of spice bomb Gorgeous. Yeah, better than those three just alone that I just mentioned. And I have to say probably I like Versace Dillon blue too I used to rock the show that I feel like some of those are better than most niche things I've ever smelled.
Myke:And I mean technically. At this point you've got ombre leather, which is I'll probably never go without a bottle of ombre leather.
Ryan:Yeah, that's not niche to me anymore. No, that's designer. Yeah, that's designer.
Myke:So there are plenty and look, we'll get into plenty more as this episode goes on. But first we've got to go back in time to that spooky ride by Zyrena called Dark Ride, giving you that Pirate. So the Caribbean vibe, the music time, yeah.
Ryan:One night stand review. Well, mike, after riding, they gave me covid. It did not give him covid. I want to get sued. Maybe the people on the ride with him, that's it.
Myke:I think it was waiting in line with that mildewic ozonic sort of. Actually, the people from Zyrena hit us up on social media. They were so sweet.
Ryan:They were very. This is the kind of interactions I love. I will always love this when people can take a ribbing, if you will, yeah, and they enjoy it, they're having fun with it. They knew what they were making, yeah, and he's like, hey, we need to get you guys one of our less challenging fragrances. Yeah, fragrances, basically I'm down for that. Whatever you want to send us, we'll be happy to smell it and give our honest opinion about it, and so we appreciate you reaching out. Yeah, that was so awesome.
Ryan:Okay so let's talk about it's still a skip.
Myke:Okay, yeah, that one is tough. You can't buy me over on this one, the one I'm actually excited to smell, because I do get the appeal of the chlorinated water. I actually have a face wash right now that I'm using that smells like basically chlorinated water and I like the smell of it. You sure it's not COVID it could be.
Ryan:I'm going to be real with you, dude. You're looking at me while you're talking and it's really creepy here. Let me face the other way. Is this better? I would much rather make contact with the back of your head right now. Oh my God.
Myke:Okay, well, either way, they have a fragrance called Pull Boy.
Ryan:Yes, and Cynthia sent us that as well.
Myke:Yeah, we have that one too, so we're probably not going to do it close to this one just because the similarities, but still I'm excited to smell that one.
Ryan:So I am too. I think we need to hold off until summer for that we're supposed to do this last summer. But you know what?
Myke:We fucking suck, we didn't actually, the reason why Cynthia sent these is because I wore a fragrance by them that I did like. That was called Cinemaniac, I think, and it smelled like film stock and kettle corn basically, and I wore that on Halloween a couple of years ago and I was talking about how much I enjoyed it and a lot of people really liked it. I hope Zyraena hears this version of it too, because we really didn't get into this. But the reason why I got it a sample of it was because oh gosh, what's her name? Vanessa? Something they did attraction studies, and the thing that was most attractive to people were things that smelled like food, and she would rub a popcorn bag against her neck and she would get compliments on her fragrance all day.
Ryan:Who that? What? Was it Vanessa Hutchins or something?
Myke:No, no, no, I forget her last name, but they do like attraction studies and stuff like that. She does interaction and social studies and things like that. So I had remember hearing that and I was like oh my God, there's an actual fragrance like that and it was by these guys and I wore it and sure enough it was a couple of Halloween's ago and a lot of people enjoyed it and I was like you make sense, because growing up my grandmother would make popcorn balls to give out to the kids.
Ryan:Oh yeah, that's like what, the Marshmallow? It's like the Rasker's Retreat version. Right yeah, but with popcorn. Yeah, I love that.
Myke:But it was like not so much marshmallow, it's like popcorn and like a caramel type thing that holds it together. But that's kind of what this fragrance smelled like, which made perfect sense to wear on Halloween. There was a lot of things going on with that, so they do make really interesting fragrances. I'm curious to see what their like more wearable stuff is, but I do like the concept fragrances too. So whereas there's not one we'll wear or buy or anything like that, it's still so fun to smell these sort of things. So, yeah, did we give them a great ribbing? Yes, we did, but that doesn't mean we think they suck?
Ryan:Can anybody tell that Mike hasn't talked to me in a while? Why am I like just talking so much? No, I appreciate your master thesis.
Myke:Somebody's got to bring a little in to this podcast.
Ryan:I always feel like if I wear like gourmand or like specialty fragrances like that, I'm just going to think you're fat. Yeah, just, it's the whole. Dave Chappelle's, the Calvin's got a job. Oh yeah, that whack on the road. Like you smell like French fry yeah.
Myke:That was me working at Subway. Oh my Lord, you smell like that fucking bread all the time, all the time, and I would think it smelled atrocious. And then people would be like, ooh, you smell so good. I'm like, uh-uh, it smells like trash.
Ryan:It's a shower. You know what I find funny about our relationship? I just kind of realized and I'm not going to dive too deep on this, but that we both have been mascots at some point in our life. Oh, okay, what were you mascot? I'm not diving into that.
Myke:Oh, you're like one of these furry guys that likes to dress up like an angel. Now I have to address it, god damn.
Ryan:no, I knew it. He was the mascot at our school, at our high school. Yeah, no-transcript. One of my first entry level jobs, 17 years old, was working at Chuck E Cheese. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then I was yeah, but I took pride in wearing that, that rather.
Myke:That must have been the perfect job for you, because I can imagine, with like you being introverted, that being in a costume really helped.
Ryan:It was great because I could act a damn fool and like not be judged.
Myke:That was me. They used to get on to me because you're not supposed to take the helmet off or the hat the head off, you know, ruining the illusion for the children.
Ryan:Exactly Like that it's not a gigantic animal flying around or like shitty 1A schools like treating it like you're at Walt Disney World over here.
Myke:Oh my Lord, yeah, and believe me, in Texas, guys in a mascot outfit, it's hotter than hell. I hadn't in high school, it showed, because I I probably had 3% body fat at that time, oh my God, so yeah, we both been mascots, which makes us cool, right? Yeah, so cool, let's get a cool. Let's get into this. Elvis wearing Austin Butler spray in YSL myself, all right, so me first. Huh, hit it up. That's your philosophy in life, right? Me first myself.
Ryan:So, so a little story. I don't remember what this smells like. However, I have smelled this and however, again, it was actually in a department store when you were trying to shop for Italy, okay, and you were trying to find an outfit. I think over there, wouldn't it Probably? I can't remember, no, it wasn't then, it was a few months back, whatever the fuck. But anyway, you were shopping for a shirt, you were wearing some dumb stuff and I was like, yeah, that didn't look good on you, and I was like checking out the counter while you were doing stuff. What was that for? I'm not sure, but you were dressing up for something. I might have been like the 10 years, 10 year reunion. Yeah, okay, yeah.
Ryan:But so, first off, before I even spray this, the bottle looks like it feels like utter dog shit. I hate the design. It's like so black plastic or what. No, I think it's a glass bottle, but it's like it just looked terrible. Maybe it looks like it's a fingerprint magnet, number one, okay, because it's dark black, and then the cap is super cheap and just plastic. It's just garbage, like it was uninspiring and, of course, there's other things in the air. So I don't remember what it smells like, but I just remember just being like ah, this is shit. I remember bringing it over to you like, dude, you got what do you think of this?
Myke:You're like so let's see, yeah, let's see. If the opinion still stands, here we go.
Ryan:Smells great, hmm, but I feel like I've smelled this fragrance a thousand times. Yeah, I agree with you on that.
Myke:Not a bad smell. You know what. It reminds me of what's up I feel like now. Every time I smell something like this, I just feel like I'm standing in Ulta. I've literally smelled so many fragrances like this that I can close my eyes and feel like I can see the rack of fragrances in Ulta right now.
Ryan:Very safe guys. I mean I guess that's a plus or con Everyone look at it.
Myke:It has a very green apple sort of a smell. I do agree with that and that's not even listed in the notes. Six notes we got, sorry, five notes. Hit them. Let me see if I can read this Calabrian bergamot and bergamot.
Ryan:Hmm, calabrian be hidden, hmm.
Myke:Tannousse and orange blossom, tannousse Ambrofix. That must be the new molecule that they've created in patchouli.
Ryan:That's a bunch of weird ass names, oh yeah.
Myke:I'm like God. Can we make this any easier to pronounce, guys, please? I'm not going online.
Ryan:It actually smells good, but it does feel so familiar, so it's not like surprising me, also with a name like myself, that makes you think it should be something unique and different and makes you stand out amongst the crowd. Yeah, I feel like this sucks you right into the faceless numbers of zeros and ones that you are amongst your work plebians. Yeah, it doesn't smell bad. I know I sound like an asshole. It doesn't smell bad. It's a pleasing fragrance.
Myke:It's kind of like the YSL why EDP type thing we were talking about, where it had that like green apple sort of vibe that we really liked. Yeah, At least that's there Again, even though it's not listed as notes. I get a lot of that.
Ryan:It doesn't feel loud, it feels very. It's not skin scent, it's a little bit further than that Kind of powdery. Yeah, I get that.
Myke:It almost smells like one of those chewy Jolly Ranchers, like the Green Apple Chewy Jolly Rancher. Have you had those oh?
Ryan:hell yeah, it's my favorite flavor on the Jolly Rancher, the Green Apple Really.
Myke:But the Chewy kind. Oh, I haven't had Chewy. No, they're kind of like Starburst, but they're made by Jolly Rancher.
Ryan:Do they taste like the hard Jolly Rancher, or a little bit different? A little bit different.
Myke:Little powdery kind of like. It's various.
Ryan:It's like I want to hate this, but at the same time it's really enjoyable. Yeah, it smells good.
Myke:This is the problem with all designer fragrances there isn't enough to offend.
Ryan:Yeah, you think that's what makes a good fragrance, a little bit of something that can, like divide the way.
Myke:Well, yeah, that's what they say is like, if everybody likes you, then you have no personality. Hmm, okay, you're a come a come, a come a come a come a chameleon.
Ryan:I can't hate this, guys. It's a dilemma in kind of delivering this information. On one hand, it's actually a good fragrance. On the other hand, I feel like this DNA has suffocated my nostrils over the past eight years, like I feel like I've smelled this a hundred times and I actually I agree with you. If you walked into Alton, it's kind of like a just a mixed mesh and mash of all the fragrances every idiot's walking by spraying. I feel like that's what it kind of smells like.
Myke:Yeah, it smells like a now and later on my skin.
Ryan:That's a good hey, that is actually really close, that just like light bulb in my head?
Myke:Yeah, it is. And let me tell you I wasn't going to trust my nose on this episode, but I was just going to swing for the fences and hope that it's halfway there. But yeah, that's kind of what I'm getting. And here's the question, because obviously this smells good. Yeah, Barring any sort of performance issues we may run into. We don't know yet. I love the card stock, by the way. Yeah, Smells great. The question is because we're such fragrance enthusiasts at this point, is that getting in the way of appreciating what 99% of human population will just appreciate, because we're part of the few minority that really gives two shits about crazy fragrance, being original and having something unique? Because just and it shows from business model alone that these companies go we'll make this so that 99% of people will like it and 99% of people will buy it. Are we the?
Ryan:problem. Yeah, I think we are. I mean, I hate to say it, but I feel like we are. Yeah, I can't help that though.
Myke:I can't help that, I just don't vibe shit like this Sometimes when we do this podcast, I feel like one of those guys that's in, like the comment section, that's like yeah, but if you read the book, it was way better, because the pages 36 through 39, the character development was actually far superior. That's what I feel like sometimes.
Ryan:I don't think I feel like that. I just feel like I don't know man, I don't fucking know. Dude, I've always been one of those people like if everybody started wearing supreme shirts which that was a fad for a minute, I'm going to be the one person that's like I will never wear that because, yeah, you're wearing like a nacho supreme shirt.
Ryan:Yeah, Exactly Like I'm going to spite it, right? This I just. The thing that makes me mad at myself is that this is actually not a bad smell. It's one of the better designer fragrances we smell. I have to agree, the cardstock is amazing to me, but it for me it's not loud. That's my number one problem. Yeah, I want my fragrances to have a punch that you do for me not so much of an issue.
Ryan:I want you know the work lady that's, you know, super sensitive to all the smells and probably talk shit about me behind my back Once I leave. Right, I want those fragrances that piss her off.
Myke:I never want to be that guy where they're, where they're like oh, we knew, we knew it was you. We could smell you coming down the hall. Oh, I love that. I don't know why You've been smooching with my sister.
Ryan:You know that doctors, nurses, they're not allowed to wear fragrances. I, yeah, I would assume so. Yeah, cause that can cause people's asthma to kick up.
Myke:Yeah, people Weep, bastards Actually have allergies towards certain, I guess raw chemical or you know the stuff they put in this. And there are a few hypoallergenic fragrances made, and I think that not a perfume by Juliet has a gun is like a hypoallergenic sort of a fragrance Interesting. Not 100% sure, though, Again, this is uneducated opinions here people.
Ryan:It's dying down, by the way, which is not a good sign. Do you get any Dolce and Gabbana Porom kind of vibe from this? Hmm?
Myke:This one I'm very familiar with. Hold on one second. I get the tiniest bit of what you're saying.
Ryan:I guess that's why it's kind of like ruining it. For me it's because I feel like I've smudged.
Myke:I'm going to argue that this is actually better on the skin than DNG Porom.
Ryan:Really.
Myke:At least current formulations. Hmm, this is really nice.
Ryan:I like it. Part of me wants to like walk by you after you've worn it or something. I got to smell it. Not on me, I know I say that a lot, just me just strutting around wearing it. I'm going to tell you the most I ever the Mick Jagger Bird walking over here. You know that most of the fragrances I ever get now is after I've experienced like smelling it. Like you walking by. That makes sense. Yeah, I feel like that is the best way for me to really evaluate something out, because if we go work out or something like damn, what are you wearing?
Myke:Did I tell the Creed of Intas story on here about the gas pump?
Ryan:Man, both our memories are so bad I don't remember Okay, Well.
Myke:I think I've sold a couple of bottles of Creed of Intas here recently, creed reach out to us.
Ryan:What's that mean? When they got it?
Myke:Oh, the absentee. No, I was putting gas in my truck and it was like me at a pump and then you know there's a pump on the other side and then there's a distance, and then there's another pump and then there's a pump on the other side of that. So it was me on the furthest outside pump and then technically three pumps over was another guy quite a distance, and I'm finishing up and shaking the last few trips off the end of the nozzle.
Ryan:Oh yeah, that's what I'm going.
Myke:Yeah.
Ryan:And that's after you shove that nozzle deep in that tank. Yeah for sure.
Myke:Yeah, it was just the huge load of gas and a guy comes up as I'm shaking the little few trips and he's like man, what cologne are you wearing? I was like, oh, it's called a Ventus, Okay. Then I immediately felt dumb. Why do?
Ryan:I always feel dumb saying anything. Niche, that is kind of a problem, right? Yeah, it's awkward. It shows that you're a nerd at that point.
Myke:Because he's not going to be able to find that. I mean, this guy is like 55 year old, you know, sort of, and when his baby boomerang, sees that, price.
Myke:Typical East Texan, I mean the guys you know driving a 2004 single cab, you know wearing Royal Copenhagen. I don't want to be judgmental here, but I'm like, oh, this guy doesn't give a shit about me going into detail. So I was like I said, where do you get your colognes at? And he's like, man, sometimes I just grab my Walmart. I'm like, okay, I figured, if you ever go down to Dillard's, just ask for something called Explorer. I was like you'll find that's like. He's like, yeah, you have forward Explorer. Like he'll be able to remember it. I'm like, just go ask for Explorer. And I was like you'll smell just like me.
Ryan:Damn, actually save that guy some money there.
Myke:Yeah, I could have been like if you go to fragrancenetcom, you know, but like, yeah, sometimes you just get into those conversations. You don't really know how deep to go.
Ryan:Yeah, it just makes you look nerdy. Sorry guys, it does White nerdy. It's how I feel when I'm talking about like video games to Mike, sometimes like he plays yeah, and then there's like I play only competitive stuff.
Myke:So I'm just like talking about your just frame when you say, yeah, I play. It's a lot different than I play once a month fortnight with my kids and their eight year old friends. Destroy me. Ryan is like a world class video game expert where he knows oh, yeah, well, this move is going to take so many frames and so if I can punish them if they do this move, if I press at this time, I do this combo blocker and I you're making me sound terrible.
Ryan:Actually, trust me, I'm not that dumb with it.
Myke:No, you're great at it, I just don't know how to explain it you know.
Ryan:Yeah, there's any listeners out there. You love tech in soul. Caliber street fighter. Yeah, I'll whoop your freaking pansy ass.
Myke:Oh man, isn't that great when you're able to be a nerd in so many different things.
Ryan:My guilty pleasure is watching nerdy videos of fighting game tournaments. The comments sections are always great, talking about how crazy the like testosterone is. People are having like pop offs and shit. Like flipping each other off, cussing each other out.
Myke:God, why is it that we get so competitive? Just that dumb as shit.
Ryan:God, dude, I've been called so many bad things.
Myke:dude, playing video games over the years prior to the internet yeah, you've sent me some videos, just like screen recordings of some of the games you play. I'm just like God. People get so upset.
Ryan:They do it's a video game I had a good. You know me and Todd were roommates for a while. That's a little backstory here. Yeah, I hit him with it and he is left handed and he plays very unorthodox. We played Tekken for decades and he hated losing to me and I'm one of those people like I can't just be nice, yeah, and just like I'll let him feel good and win. I always let him feel like they're about to win and then I take it from him.
Myke:They spank their little red heiny yeah.
Ryan:It was like I don't know. I probably whooped his ass like 30 matches in a row and he just eventually punched all Fucking idiot Dude.
Myke:I have never been that way with with video games. Alcohol may have been involved that night. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, you guys sipping some Rose, playing a street fighter.
Ryan:All right, let's do the price and trend real quick on this bad boy. Okay the price $150 for 100 ML, that is way too high, way too much. They're asking Aqua DGO money.
Myke:Well, I mean that is like standard designer pricing, but for this specific fragrance I feel like there's nine other ones you could go find on a discount or this is 85 tops 85, and that's being generous.
Ryan:Hate the skin, by the way, right now. Really Okay.
Myke:Cardstock smells great. Cardstock does smell great skin, still now and later. The trend.
Ryan:It was obviously. It's bloaty rounds up, yeah, and it looks like the tank is about to drop out on this thing, and I can see why, man. It just feels as good as it can smell, and it does smell good on the car stock. I'm not lying to you guys. Take that what what you will with it, but it just feels so generic and safe, yeah, and some people love that Fine.
Myke:I think it's also that it's who they associate the fragrance with. That like drives the attention to it. It's smart on how they do it. I mean, austin Butler just did what's his name's? Elvis. You know what's the? What's the director's name? Oh, baz Lerman. Baz Lerman, yeah, and that was a hypey film. Did you love that movie? I did, I did not. We flipped. I think you saw it the first time and liked it. I saw it the first time, didn't like it. Yeah, the more I watched it, the more.
Ryan:I really liked it. Yeah, the more I watched it I'm just like it just feels like a blur and I hate that. I think that was might. It might be intentional, though For sure. Yeah, like because his life did kind of happen fast and you're out, you know, but still quickly felt weird. I don't know. I didn't like the movie. But who's wearing this? I think I know. Ok, cue the dream sequence music Todd. He wakes up at 6 am and he does the same thing he does every morning, which is the three S's shit shower and shaves. He gets in his 2005 Dodge Stratus, he hits his commute, stays in traffic for about an hour, punches in at 7.59, barely making it into work, keeping his boss off his ass and makes robot calls all day.
Myke:See, I think you got part of that right. I think the part that you don't have right is the vehicle. Oh yeah, I think he's got a nicer like it's two years old, but it's a nice Toyota Corolla or the Ur Camry or something like that. Very, yeah, very much so. It's one of those where it's like if it drove by fast enough you'd think it was Alexis, but it's not, yeah, definitely not.
Ryan:It's the base package. They go with everything about him. It's base, maybe base hairline, base, clothes. You just, you're just a zero and a one in the matrix, just a cog in the machine of life. And the high of your day is when Samantha and Billing says hey, you smell kind of good.
Myke:God, if that isn't like just that little part, not the whole thing, but just that little part, if that isn't a true highlighting of the fragrance community at times, I don't know what it is Dude, it's so it is when it's like I hate my life, other than when I get complimented and as men we rarely get compliments Ever, ever.
Myke:And if we're going to get compliments, it's safe to compliment somebody's fragrance. Yeah, oh, actually. So is that the movies? The other night, when saw Fincher's new film Amazing, and I'm wearing a Ventus again and this is how awkward it is socially these days. So I went to Alamo Draft House, which is my favorite place to go see movies, and the. This is where they like bring you food and stuff like that. So the ladies leaning over to ask me my order because they actually the previews had started by this point, yeah, and she goes what are you wearing? Because you smell amazing. I'm like oh thanks, it's called Creed. You know that's like, just say it. She goes oh, wow, that's really nice, I really love that. And she leaves. Then she comes back with my drink and she goes.
Myke:So when she left, you were like psh, psh, psh, psh. Yeah, I pulled a rye. No, not at all. In fact, I hadn't sprayed it all day. That was like in the morning, because Dallas is like a two hour drive away. So I sprayed it that morning. I had client meetings and then the, so I probably sprayed it on at 9 am. My showtime was like 7 30 pm. Ok, so she comes back, brings me my drink and she compliments me on my fragrance again, but this time she made sure to say I'm going to have to tell my boyfriend Hold on, she goes. I'm going to have to tell my boyfriend, who also works here, how great that smells. He needs to check it out. Did you go?
Ryan:fuck you.
Myke:No, but I was just like was that like a necessary interaction? Can't you just go wow, I really enjoy the smell of that. Or you could say I enjoy the smell of that, I'd love to get that for my boyfriend or something. But like, maybe it wasn't intentional, but it was just that like I'll have to tell my boyfriend, who also works here, that like I was immediately going to be like, well, if you think I meant, why on earth would you? I don't know, it's just weird man, it's weird out there now, dude, it is so wild.
Ryan:Thank God I don't give a fuck about anybody's opinion outside of pretty much you, yeah.
Myke:That whole thing being, though, is that like where you're just miserable until somebody just validates you with some empty compliment like hey, your Austin Butler fragrance smells good.
Ryan:Wait, did Austin Butler? Was he the face of this fragrance? Yes, oh my God.
Myke:That's what I was just saying. That went right over my head. I thought you were just talking about it because he did Elvis.
Ryan:He was doing that. Didn't Elvis have a song like myself or some bullshit? Oh God, I don't know, I don't fucking know. Or he'd sing that Frank Sinatra song. Who fucking knows?
Myke:Oh, by my.
Ryan:I don't think it's that song. Yeah, exactly, but no, because I mean my way. That's what I'm thinking.
Myke:For some reason, oh yeah, I do love that song. Actually that's a great song. But no, he did. He had a bunch of small bit roles. Then he had that role in the Tarantino movie, Then he did Baz Lerman. It's like he was up, up, up, up, up up and then he everybody memed him out because he wouldn't drop the Elvis voice in interviews.
Ryan:So cringy man, like I don't know man. It was like I'd just be on the movie set and it sounds like Louisiana.
Myke:I don't know, dude, it was like it has everything to do with us.
Ryan:Just so you guys know, me and Mike, we're doing James Ramsey impressions before we went live. David.
Myke:Ramsey.
Ryan:David Ramsey. I keep on saying James Ramsey, holy cow.
Myke:We've been looking at his financial advice.
Ryan:Hey man, in this economy we need any little help we can get.
Myke:Oh boy, all right. Well, are you going to skip it?
Ryan:Sample it or buy it. What are you going to do, Mike?
Myke:I'm totally going to skip this.
Ryan:Yeah, it's too generic, too safe Bottle looks like dog piss. I don't know. I shouldn't say that People worked on this. I'm sorry. It's just a black glass bottle, nothing special about the bottle, but it attracts fingerprints like a fucking magnet, so it looks like. It looks like you just got the greasiest fucking hands, like you just grabbed. It just looks dumb.
Myke:Well, most people aren't going to take pictures and post them to the social medias and say look what I'm wearing today, fellas, sent to the day. They're just going to spray it every day until the bottle empties and then go buy another one. All for Samantha, that's right. For that one little gleaming, half hearted compliment she gives as she slowly walks away and says God, that guy wears too much fucking cologne. And then she's like what a loser. And in his head he's like she digs me. They did a study, ryan this is my classic intro. You know. They did a study. They did a large group of speed dating and then at the end of it they surveyed each group and it turns out men think women are way more attracted to them than they actually are and women think men are way less attracted to them than they actually are. So they went through and then they had to. They had to gauge, based on, you know, the interaction with the person of the opposite sex, how attracted they think that person was to themselves, to myself, by why.
Ryan:Why are humans just so fundamentally fucking dumb and weird? We're like so smart Geniuses but we have seriously just we can't understand. We got so much technology at our fingertips we don't know what to do with the person next to us. Man, it's fucking wild.
Myke:I say it all the time, but it's like we, for whatever reason, are always creating friction between other people, like unintentionally creating friction. That's why I'm like when you intentionally create friction against somebody, what the hell are you?
Ryan:doing. Look, I don't know how old most you are, but I'm going to tell you, as you get older, you're going to see one thing that has never changed History repeats itself. There will always be wars. It's just fucking dumb. People are dumb. Yeah, I'm not going to get too serious. Let's don't get too serious. Let's get out of here. We still love you guys.
Myke:If you were worried that had changed in one week off. If you didn't guess that we had to take a week off, because I did in fact get COVID. I had a shoot in Arizona and it's juicy down here in Texas. We get higher in elevation, you lose the humidity in the air. It's real dry. Dude dried me up. Yeah, brian and I had some interesting conversations about that. And then makes you if you're used to a nice juicy weather, it makes you more susceptible to things, and COVID reached right down my freaking throat and punched me in the sack.
Ryan:I'm glad you're back and on the mend, but before we go I want to tease our next fragrance philosophy. Oh yeah, we asked our friends of the podcast, our patreons. We asked them what's something you wanted us to discuss, and there was quite a few interesting topics. Loved every single recommendation, honestly, but there was two that we really liked, and that was we liked them all.
Myke:Ryan, don't be rude, but there were two we felt like kind of linked up together that could make a single episode and I think we're going to start with those. And that is wearability. And does a fragrance have to change over time to be enjoyable?
Ryan:Great topics and I can't wait to cover those, and until next Heet.
Myke:Okay, I should have let you do this spray. Also, we're gonna be linking up with Steve to do another episode and this one is going to be on a Not really hyped. Maybe it is kind of hyped in the fragrance community, but their adverts for this are so cringy that for this fragrance that I had been thinking about getting us a bottle to do it. Anyways, just because the ads on social media are your typical, I spray it and my girl wants me to bone her down, and then in the background, literally they have a woman going. Honey, come back to bed, like it's so bad dude.
Ryan:Let's take wagers right now. The over under that it's gonna be absolute shit.
Myke:I bet it's gonna smell something like what we smell it'll smell worse than this, like yeah, it probably will, because it's not like it's not any sort of actual fragrance company. Well, it's a, an up-and-comer sort of a thing. So Steve has gotten a bottle of it. We've gotten a bottle of it now and we're going to blind smell it and let you know is it really the panty dropper that advert says it is?
Ryan:No, we're gonna do. If mean you ever make a fragrance? Wink, if we ever make a fragrance, yeah, I think our adverts should be. Everybody's always Topless when we're talking about it. They got like smear, lipstick and everything.
Myke:Yeah, it's like it's a top dropper and all dudes, by the way.
Ryan:Oh God, we love you guys. Enjoy this long ass episode we made up for missing last week. So back to fuck off.
Myke:Yeah, sorry, guys, didn't mean to nearly die on you, and until next time, spray it up y'all.
