The F-It Podcast
A podcast where three lifelong friends from the Midwest talk about all their favorite F words like film, fitness, food, and so forth. Some things we discuss we will have a lot of knowledge about and others we will be talking out our butts about, either way it'll be a fun conversation.

In this episode of The F-It Podcast, we kick things off with prom—looking back at how simple it used to be versus what it’s become today. From casually asking someone to go, to the modern-day “promposal” and the added pressure of social media, we break down how the experience has evolved and what that says about growing up now.
We shift gears to the spectacle of the Kentucky Derby and how it’s turned into more than just a race—it’s a full-on celebration of bold, vibrant formal wear and American tradition. It’s one of the few places left where dressing up isn’t just expected—it’s part of the show.
We also reflect on our own weddings—what we wore, what we cared about at the time, and how our perspective on formal wear has changed since then.
To wrap it all up, we take a step back and talk about how dressing up has evolved for us—from teenagers trying to figure it out, to guys in our 40s who (mostly) understand what matters now. Because at the end of the day, being “fancy” isn’t about the outfit—it’s about the moments you’re showing up for.
