Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Ever wanted a peek behind the scenes of your favorite award-winning podcast? Well, hold onto your headphones, because this week we've brought our editor, Todd, in front of the mic for a change. The unsung hero of our show, we learn about Todd's unique experiences, his love for the distinct scent of black powder, and get his take on our fragrance of the day — JusBox's Black Powder. Does he find the edgy scent as rebellious as Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, which the fragrance intriguingly references? 

We dissect the offbeat notes of "Black Powder," probing how its scent transforms over time. From our favorite craft beers to the bustling cityscape of Seattle, our impressions of the fragrance are peppered with anecdotes, making for an engaging exploration. But we're not just about the fun and games. We tread into debate territory, questioning the use of Kurt Cobain's legacy for commercial interests. Will "Black Powder" make it to our skip, sample, or buy it list? You'll have to listen to find out!

Finally, prepare to be transported down memory lane as Ryan and Todd share hilarious and heartwarming tales of their fragrance-filled escapades. From classic favorite scents like Issey Miyake and Kenneth Cole Black, to a cherished gift of Creed Aventus, their repertoire spans both affordable and aspirational. Buckle up for a rollicking ride through the world of fragrances, one whiff at a time. And remember, as we love to say, "spray it up, y'all"!

Ryan:

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the Supposite Podcast.

Myke:

I'm Mike and I'm Ryan and this is Todd.

Ryan:

Man, this has been two and a half years in the making. Right, that's right. Yeah, Trying to get you to come out here and actually live with us amongst the studio, because you're always editing, always putting stuff up and finally having a break. You're going to come in here with us for drinking. Forbis' Texas Whiskey gave us a couple years ago.

Myke:

Yeah, it was like a studio warming gift. We're just now cracking the cork on her.

Ryan:

I know yeah, so welcome to the show.

Todd:

Thank you. I finally had enough money to scrape bus fare to get here.

Myke:

He brought a sleeping bag and a bag pack and that was it. And a loaded weapon. Spot me some rum.

Ryan:

So tell the listeners who have been listening intently for so many years, what's it like editing our show. It's really good.

Todd:

You got two guys are good, I don't believe it Smells great in here yeah.

Ryan:

Yeah, we're letting you kind of peruse some of the furnaces here. What did you think about some of them.

Todd:

It's nice Bottom do not smell good. Hopefully those don't make it to the air, yeah it's good.

Myke:

What's your favorite part about producing and editing such an award-winning podcast?

Todd:

Probably one says, hint that intro, todd, it's the best part, yeah.

Ryan:

Yeah, I've heard, you know you've mentioned me a couple of times about wanting to start the Todd cast. Uh huh, is that something you're still working on?

Todd:

Well, I mean what's your wife expectancy? Actually that now that I see them person, I know I can't do it by myself.

Ryan:

Yeah, you're going to have to need some strong strapping men, such as. Mike and I Sure Well, today we're going to have you on the show. Yeah, we're going to be smelling a fragrance, and one that me and Mike picked out because we thought it would be polarized when you want to bring something easy to the table. So we're going to be smelling. I'll let you do the honors.

Myke:

One by Juice Box, and Ryan snuck into the studio late one night and smelled this showing off. Brought a guest, told me later. Oh yeah, me and so. And so was smelling that at the fragrance podcast studio and I was like you smell that shit without me. But it's Juice Box and the fragrance is called black powder. How ironic.

Ryan:

Why is that ironic, todd? You know, I don't know Black powder.

Todd:

It's one of my favorite smells, man Smell of freedom, Like okay, well, to talk about that.

Ryan:

Yeah, you showed up with a pistol on your hip. That was weird, it's true. Yeah, second amendment man.

Todd:

What gun was that? Smith Wesson M&P 2.0 with Tridgecon nutsuts.

Ryan:

Why would you bring him out here? Why would you bring?

Myke:

that to me. I'm bringing it everywhere, man, he knows how wild this podcast gets. Why do you bring it?

Ryan:

You sit it on the kitchen table Because Mike looks like Batista.

Myke:

That's why, For people that don't know. He was worried I did arm day today.

Todd:

He was in a shirt. He said dude swole it's leg day, oh did it. That's awesome. Let me describe this.

Ryan:

We're in a shirt that says it's leg day and it's a chicken leg.

Myke:

That's a turkey leg, or turkey leg, turkey leg, chicken leg. Yeah, pre-audience members Mike Swole, I love legs. All right, let me tell you about black powder really quick. Yeah, tell us, yeah. So Los Angeles 1992, nirvana's lead singer, kurt Cobain, shocks the MTV Music Awards by playing a few unplanned chords. This will mark this generation's rebellion towards the establishment. The jarring chords of Cobain's guitar are the top notes. The Swedish black current, together with the bitter pimento, represented the poignant riff of Seattle sound, gentle hints of tonka being interplay with the intensity of patchouli, whilst the persistent sandalwood note expresses the obsessive rhythm of the instrument. Frankincense celebrates both the revolutionary atmosphere and the rebellious spirit of Nirvana's lyrics. No-transcript. I feel like black powder is hinting something else as well.

Ryan:

And we'll touch on that here in a little bit, because we had a beautiful you'll do, by the way, before we get into this episode. We always got to do this. You've produced. You've produced a show long enough, todd. You've heard the song. You even told me you love the intro and how we did it. Let's do our one night stay. Review of Kisses.

Myke:

Rain by Reneer. Why don't you hit the music, Todd yeah?

Ryan:

One night stand review. Well, Mike, after laying in bed with Mr Reneer, not really. What do you have to say about Kisses Rain? That we've come to discover that the version that we have is no longer being produced and it's actually with a new one that's called, like an ouda parfum. What do you think of this one? That one was great.

Myke:

It got chill on the skin. It was sweet and spicy, lasted quite a long while I enjoyed it. It was great. Still a skip, but I loved it.

Ryan:

Yeah, I share all the same sentiments and it is a skip. It's it's. It wore out its welcome with me. I think. Really it's good, it smells good, but yeah, it's a skip. Hmm, I think when you get the new one, to see if it's much different or the same, I agree.

Myke:

Could just be a new name, Possibly it was like Pepsi Crystal.

Todd:

Remember that I used to love Pepsi right, pepsi was so good, it was so good it was delicious.

Ryan:

It was probably around for a year or two, probably, but it was so good it was just clear, pepsi, it's still was good. It was good, it tasted different. It's like New Coke sucked Pepsi was good.

Myke:

Well, let's get into this 1992 classic. I hate to just breeze through the One Night Stair and Review, but the real reason we're here is to smell this and hang out with Todd, so we can't just like belabor on. I'm with you About the One Night Stair and Review. It's a skip for you, it's a skip for me. Great fragrance, it's slightly been done in a way before. Yeah, you're not missing anything now that it's been discontinued. But if you do have a bottle of it, good on you because it smells pretty good, let's do it.

Ryan:

And with that being said, now let's get into our scent of the day by Juicebox Black Powder and Todd, you are an honorary guest. You've been smelling the car like a dumbass because you thought we already sprayed it. We didn't. You go ahead, you go ahead, you go ahead.

Myke:

You already fill in some of that blended whiskey we're sipping, oh yeah, Well being a not paid Did you even spray it. You got to hit the card. You got to hit the skin. Yeah, you got to spray. I'm shocked. As many times as you edited this podcast, Todd You're you'll never let me in here.

Ryan:

All right.

Todd:

It's like a sharp woodsy.

Ryan:

This smells nothing like the first time. I mean, you ever smelled it in the scent ring?

Todd:

Oh, it's changing as time goes, actually, that's, it's changing. It's warping, do you like it? The initial spray not so much, but it changes.

Myke:

It smells like if black currant, patchouli and jalapenos were all smashed together. Oh, they're smashing.

Todd:

Now, does this have any of that chemistry where it's like CK, where it changes if it's on the paper, to your skin?

Ryan:

Oh, that's ever, yeah, yeah, every frequency, ever, oh, yeah, okay.

Todd:

You know it's down in the basement, I don't usually don't.

Ryan:

I'm just asking Don't worry, We'll make sure you feel and look like a complete yeah for sure, for sure. Don't worry, I'm working overtime on that.

Todd:

It's not bad.

Ryan:

Not bad. I smell grungy. It's like a grungy, smoky fragrance Body odor. Yeah, it's trying to be covered up with something clean yeah.

Todd:

Yeah, for sure, seattle scene. Oh yeah, that's Seattle. I've ever seen it right there.

Ryan:

Yeah, yeah, I spent about three days in Seattle one time.

Myke:

Oh yeah, how'd that go Ketch fish. I caught Manny's IPA, which was really good. That was the first. Before that. I wasn't really a connoisseur of, you know, craft beers, but there's a IPA up there named Manny's yeah, one of the best ones I've ever had.

Todd:

And now I'm West Coast is known for all their craft beer, for sure.

Myke:

Yeah, it was delicious, or it's a pale ale, but you know, you know yeah.

Ryan:

Todd you actually as much as you talk about that we don't pay, you actually make quite a few trips a year Over to the West Coast. You're always talking about the West Coast time and the West Coast weather. Be able to watch West Coast football time, west Coast chopper, yeah.

Todd:

Actually, it's not true at all. I do travel a lot.

Myke:

Mostly to Colorado apparently.

Ryan:

Yeah, how was your last visit to Colorado?

Todd:

buddy, it was good, fruitful, it was good. No, I don't travel to the West Coast anymore.

Myke:

Really yeah, they won't let him carry his weapon.

Todd:

Check, they do have great beer over there.

Ryan:

Oh, this thing is rough.

Myke:

It's not bad. I actually like it Not bad. I'm glad it doesn't have that smoky, actual gunpowder like scent. I thought it was going to have.

Ryan:

It definitely has a smoky vibe to me, not gunpowder.

Myke:

Let's talk about that for a second Black powder. I feel like they're hinting at his alleged suicide. You think that yeah?

Ryan:

Why else would you call it black powder? Well, I don't know anything about drugs. Was it drug related?

Todd:

Yeah, it's very intuitive of you 100%.

Ryan:

I'm trying to make him sound fucking smart.

Myke:

No, I'm just saying, since man, the guy dude was allegedly Allegedly.

Ryan:

Well, I'm going to say what was allegedly told to us at a particular place because I don't know if they want to be associated with what they said, but we were told one of the times we smelled this was that it was supposed to smell like cocaine and come or something like that.

Myke:

No, no, that is not what they told us. Yes, he did. No, he said cocaine and gunpowder.

Ryan:

What's the one he says about? Same thing. He's, you know. He says something about when I'm smelling like come on, that was this one. No, no, no, oh, this one. I don't think this smells like no.

Myke:

I'm so confused by why you were so excited to smell this one. I don't think.

Ryan:

I thought that he's it was supposed to smell like cocaine, like the main thing. That's what he was. Well, first of all, that doesn't even make sense, because no, have you your your mic's turned there, todd, I thought you were a professional. Have you smelled?

Myke:

cocaine. Well, I was going to say Cobain's drug of choice was heroin, not cocaine.

Ryan:

Well then, why would that guy say it smelled like cocaine. He's probably dumb. Can you remember you said that one? He said well, it's not like something. And come, something smell like wet towels and, yeah, like a jalapeno chip or something.

Myke:

Yes, that is true, he did say that, but I think the one he was talking about that smelled like seminal fluids Ryan was from it was the secretions that we did smell. We did that episode. Ok, so I'm not crazy, you're not crazy. However, if you thought this was, why were you so excited to smell this?

Todd:

then if you were like, oh, I think it's like why are you licking it?

Myke:

Cocaine and come.

Ryan:

Exactly. Let the record show. I'm not tasting it. Oh my God, no. Remember when he did say that one smell like seminal fluid. Yeah, and he was talking about how he wanted to wear it to the club.

Myke:

Oh, yes, I do Face. I'm sure he wore it all over, yeah. So, yeah, there was a specific there's a specific preference that he had. Yeah, and a specific preference of evening hangout locations that he had. Is that the wrong one? Yeah, absolutely. I'm just saying it all played into what he was saying, where he was like I would wear this out and there would be other patrons of the location 100%. That would then smell it and be intrigued. Got you Because it smelled like. Got you Seminal fluid.

Todd:

Yeah and other things, good times, right, exactly Got you yeah, 100%.

Myke:

Well, yeah which?

Ryan:

like you do.

Todd:

Yeah.

Ryan:

Well, to get back on this fragrance, I don't like it. Do y'all like this for real, todd, you're saying you don't like it. It's passed for me, to me, take no offense, anybody. But it just smells like if you smoke cigarettes all day and you're just trying to like don't have time to like clean up or something, so you're just like throwing on some type of fragrance, but it's like doing absolutely nothing for you.

Myke:

Yeah, yeah, I have definitely on the skin. The skin is like no good.

Todd:

Smells like a retirement community.

Ryan:

Is that what a retirement community smells like?

Myke:

Yeah, cigarettes. It smells like on the skin cigarettes, jalapenos and some faint fragrance. Trying to cover those things up by doing a terrible job.

Todd:

Formeldehead.

Ryan:

This does not smell like formaldehead. That's the final retirement community.

Myke:

You don't get much more retired than that Y'all are going to think I'm crazy.

Ryan:

I actually kind of like the skin, though right now, really, really.

Myke:

I don't know why. It's probably the seminal fluids really peeking your interest there, that's it.

Todd:

I mean, you know you're fixing to retire.

Ryan:

Good God.

Myke:

For all those listening, Todd looked over at his gun sitting on the counter when he said that Good Lord.

Ryan:

I still can't believe he brought a gun into the studio.

Todd:

What the hell dude, I don't know how you ever going to react on not paying me.

Myke:

He's getting his check today for sure, maybe a hot one, but he's leaving with the check.

Ryan:

You know what? Let's ask Todd this question Todd who do you think is seriously not jokingly, but who do you think seriously would smell this, love it and they want to wear it. What's the kind of person that would wear this fragrance?

Todd:

An older gentleman, for sure I think they would like it, just because the older you get, the less your smell.

Ryan:

Knowledge gets, that's actually a good point, so I think they like that. I'll try for a part of it. Sorry, I was taking a sip of this whiskey. Yeah, I would say I can kind of get behind that. Actually Old person, an older gentleman, or is this a man's smell? Or is this a female? Or is this unisex?

Todd:

I think that's more of a man's smell.

Ryan:

Agreed. You think they've lost their senses.

Todd:

They're preparing for death their senses smell, oh yeah they've lost their senses smell.

Ryan:

Sorry, Todd the technicality and they're on their way out and this is the kind of shit they'd wear.

Myke:

I'll agree, but I'm going to take it and I'm going to spin it a little bit this way, which is, I think it's somebody you've lived long enough to know what type of fish you're trying to catch and you know specifically what type of bait you want to use.

Ryan:

Not everybody's going to bite at this bait, but the ones you want are going to bite at this, and that's why there you go, mike, I'm curious to know what kind of bait you're trying to get or what kind of fish you're trying to catch.

Myke:

Clearly a smoker Anybody who loves cigarettes and cum, so they don't have any children. Mihays says. I expected so much more from this. Reading the reviews, I thought it'd be brutal, dark, strong and a masculine fragrance, but it's not. Slightly sweet, boozy, light fragrance. Yeah, the opening does smell like cocaine, which is pretty interesting, but it's too weak to be good. It's like a paper tiger which just looks cute at most. However, the semen note that would have been great.

Myke:

Hit them with the price and trend. We'll give them a skip sample at bite. Then we're going to try something that your boy, todd, brought into the studio to really just slap us in the jails with.

Ryan:

Well, price for this is $175 for a $78 ML. It's almost $200 for that, and this fucking thing is actually turning pretty damn hard. It's gonna be homeless. It's garbage. That's what we want to hear. You should have said that first. So you fucking hate it the card.

Myke:

I like the card. I don't like the skin. You were liking the skin I hate it.

Todd:

Like said if he's going for a target audience, then maybe I think the skin's actually good.

Ryan:

I hate the opening of this, just so everybody knows, but I do think the skin is getting somewhere where it's kind of interesting and would see, like he was kind of saying in the beginning, one reviews terrible.

Myke:

One review said something that I kind of agree with. That's the book that came with the box. Yeah, yeah, it says music has a perfume. One of the Reviews said they don't like that. They're trying to basically profit off of musicians that have died or who fucking isn't. Yeah, but still, I kind of get that getting line dude, it's like music is timeless. Yeah, imagine if you make a shitty fragrance but then attach one of the most Influential, the biggest names and rock music to it. You're gonna sell more bottles.

Todd:

I mean, if you like, dot all your eyes and cross all your t's, it's smart business.

Myke:

I agree it is smart business, but is it a good way to mask a meh fragrance?

Todd:

I mean that depends on who's doing it. Some people don't care about ethics.

Myke:

Yeah, that's true, apparently juice box, does it?

Ryan:

Are you pointing at me? I totally care about ethics. I'm the most ethical asshole on this fucking.

Todd:

I don't you still owe my grandmother.

Ryan:

Oh, so do y'all think this is covering up a shitty fragrance? Then do you think it's shitty?

Todd:

I think the backstory of it is yeah really I think it's subpar with the story behind it. May make it a five, but I mean, I guess for the Kurt Cobain fans, but they're our age, so it still doesn't reach the old people, so yeah, yeah, my, my thought is, if you're gonna do this, then the backstory can't be like MTV 1992.

Myke:

Kurt. Cobain makes a little jingling, lingling, lingling, instead be like 1994 police arrive at a whatever, whatever. If we're gonna call it black powder, it's gonna be like gunpowder. And why not lean into the whole damn thing and not be like we're gonna cheekily call it this?

Todd:

Well, he called a gunpowder and Kurt Cobain because he did blows head off the 12-gate shotgun.

Myke:

Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, but they like don't even hint at why they would call it black powder. They just talk about oh, the top notes are as Jiggly chords, power chords, and the the heart notes is flannel flapping around.

Todd:

That's what I'm saying. It's because they don't put. He never played any of that.

Ryan:

Todd, you cuss me out so much in voice Smells I don't know why you're trying to censure yourself right now, buddy.

Todd:

Why? Because Mike's professional and you're not.

Ryan:

Yeah, I have that, fucking yeah, we'll have a quite a good notes written up for this. Free to edit this episode, okay so.

Myke:

Okay, skip it, sample it or buy it.

Ryan:

Part of me wants to say skip this. However, the skin is actually smelling damn good to me right now.

Todd:

It's taking a lot, it's a slow burn man, I'm opposite, I don't like the skin.

Myke:

I like the car.

Todd:

It's still old people. Well, you're still hitting up the old folks on. Okay, only part in it.

Myke:

Hey, you know what?

Ryan:

77 wearing a Dallas Cowboy, charlie raffa. Y'all didn't think that was a little much.

Myke:

Look, she looks better in it than I do right now. I don't know, I'm just gonna be real.

Todd:

I'll be working nine to five on that.

Ryan:

Okay, all right, it's a. It's a sample from me, guys. It's a sample. What is it for?

Myke:

you. I'm gonna say it's a sample as well, because I think people should smell it and either be irritated or Look for that ghost semen note that loves to quote.

Ryan:

So I don't think it's as bad as we thought. It was starting off early. No, I think it's calm down a little bit for sure. All right, todd your shits on deck, batter up.

Todd:

I'm with the mic. It's. It's not good, but I mean, if you're a fan of eventually getting that semen in your face, except in it, it's all on you. But I'm a pass, literally in figure. Yeah, pass on that bro.

Ryan:

All right, todd's gonna pass on it. I think me and my think it's a sample. I really do think it's a sample there's something interesting he does cuz he.

Todd:

I agree with him. Okay well you should agree with both of us, because I also said sample.

Ryan:

Okay, they're sampling property of.

Myke:

David Buster over here. Okay, well, let's, let's check out. Todd brought us something to smell.

Ryan:

I want to check that out, all right, so Todd brought in here and I could already smell when it came in here. It is by cream. Oh, it is bourbon in oak with a toilet, and I like the bottle. I'll let you go on that, okay.

Myke:

Oh, I can smell it when I took the cap off.

Ryan:

Have a feeling this is gonna be a lot more pleasing than what we just smelled overall. Can I get a tester strip by chance?

Myke:

This is the last one. Well, you can smell my tester strip.

Ryan:

You know what? That's actually not quite bad. That's definitely more pleasing on opening than the one we just smelled, 100% yeah, for sure.

Myke:

We've had quite a few people actually write in about these fragrances to get us to try them.

Todd:

Yeah, cream, oh, has a lot of different fragrances. I thought that one would be the best.

Myke:

It's in between like a barbershop smell and a boozy smell. There you go, yeah, okay, yeah, not bad, yeah, what's the price tag on this?

Todd:

Remember there's like 20 bucks. That's not bad.

Ryan:

Amazon. What size is this?

Myke:

Let's see probably a hundred mil. Yeah, oh, it is a hundred mil.

Ryan:

I'm guessing. Oh, thank you. You know what? I'll still in my shirt, since I don't have a tester. Okay there you go.

Myke:

I'll do that too, see if I can still smell. Thanksgiving.

Todd:

Yes, pull it off from those biceps.

Ryan:

What is your infatuation with Mike? Like he's like some stud muffin over here.

Myke:

It was arm day. I got a nice pump dude.

Ryan:

Come down what.

Todd:

Me hating.

Ryan:

I'm just as small as him, dude.

Myke:

Poor Mike, dude You've been what bad, ryan, please you think you yeah.

Todd:

Bro, I don't even know what the fuck. I don't even know what the fuck.

Ryan:

What I pop a button or something. Did it happen immediately after I said I didn't need to work out?

Myke:

I don't know, serendipitous, oh God.

Ryan:

That sounds about right. I will tell a funny story about me and Todd growing up. We lived in an area where we had access to a pool and golf courses and what have you? Tennis courts and people would come out here on timeshare and we were both. I think I was I driving a golf cart then, or was that?

Todd:

a car.

Ryan:

No, it was my dad's car, okay. It wasn't the moped multiple vehicles.

Ryan:

I didn't own any of them at the time I was a kid, but we were driving and we met some young ladies at the pool and I had braces vehicle, yeah, and I had braces then and we chatted with these young ladies and I was like you know, cool, you know. We got in the car and I was like that one girl was really vibing me, todd. He was like yeah, yeah, I was like she only say like this hey guys, that's what really is a mean, I was like she had braces.

Ryan:

I had braces like clank, clank, clank. You know, I was like feeling myself and we ran into him again and they didn't remember my name, they remembered his, this asshole's name.

Todd:

No, actually, what's it? Hey, what's up? Todd, how you doing, they're all feeling all mean, oh yeah, and I said, oh, what was your name again? Billy, Billy, steve.

Ryan:

Whatever I was like, it's Ryan. Yeah, you bitch.

Myke:

You're like someday I'm going to have a podcast about fragrances and I'm going to out you. You'll rue the day Out you.

Todd:

Myke:

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

Todd:

It was good times.

Ryan:

But you know, me and Todd have been smelling fragrances for so many years, long time we used to live together. Mike, I don't know if you know this.

Myke:

I do know this, but the listeners don't Twice. We live together, oh yeah.

Todd:

Todd:

Yeah, that's good, Isimiyaki Kenneth Cold Black yeah.

Myke:

Yeah, rocked that one. What's the Lacoste the red one, lacoste red. I was just talking that up. The other day at lunch he had to smell it at a Drug Emporium.

Myke:

Yeah, unisex from.

Todd:

Lacoste. It's good, man, that Lacoste red's good.

Myke:

It's surprisingly, slept on because we smelled it. And I literally just had lunch with a friend the other day, really, and he was like, oh, I've been wearing whatever my wife buys me. And he was like, but now I'm kind of getting interested in fragrances, what fragrances should I get? And I was immediately like, well, go to Drug Emporium and I want you to smell Explorer and I want you to smell Lacoste red. Do you get back with me and tell?
