The Denim Dads Podcast

We bring on Shaking Boots to record a live* episode...and we play a completely fair and objective game.*okay, not live, but all in the same room recording

Welcome to the Denim Dads Podcast Season 4 Episode 4.  Where Lono and Jordan talk about watches.  Of particular interest is Jordan’s obsession with Ironman watches given his aversion to running, swimming, cycling and anything that would need to be measured in laps. 

 Talking about life in hotels and how 7/11 will save the day no matter where in the world you are.  As well as about things that come in pods.  Also Lono’s sound isn’t ideal; he’s the worst (it does get better, aside from some kids in the background, let’s call them guest stars)

In this episode, we talk with William Barton, AKA https://bootspy.com/ to learn about important survival skills like eating your boots and outrunning a wild boar. 

Starting off the new season with some immediate technical problems, perfect.  Introducing a new host which resolves a long standing denim dads conspiracy theory.  How murdering your in-laws can lead to free watches.  John Lithgow’s bathtub synergy.  Lono gets his Lisas confused (he’s actually legit deaf).  A lot of talk about bones, which establishes which of us are children…

Surprise drop for the holiday.  We coin a new genre of fashion, "49er chic."  Also a surprising number of classic rivalries are discussed.  Freenote vs Ironheart.  Pusha T vs Drake.  Taylor Swift vs Hitler.Also, Lono called a friend in India.  It's 4/10 in Delhi, 2/10 outside the city.

Lots of technical problems in this one, kids in the background and Lono turns into a robot that must be muted (it’s pretty funny, we think…if not, sorry!)  Anyway, this marks two consecutive episodes with breaking baby news.  We also learn that this Paul's practice podcast and take a deep dive into the origins of the old fashioned and the oddities of Wisconsin.  Plus, surprise Rescue Rangers.

Mike from Shaking Boots and Adam from Pughuh Style Guy are on for dadvice.  Also a surprising amount of corporate synergy, high school reunions, Adam comparing his wife to a car, and the all-timer line describing cutting the umbilical cord as "cutting a steak with a pair of scissors."

A deep dive into the 90s, from people who were there.  You could call it extreme...

Shawn from Missouri Denimdad is here talking vasectomies and creationism, resort life, the danger of hobbies turning into jobs, the eternal appeal of firetruck sweaters, and how “this is now a political podcast” (don't worry, it's not).  Plus, it absolutely dates itself with some extremely optimistic predictions of when it will be released (you'll see)

Ashley from den1mom comes on and you can tell it's absolutely a recent recording by the status of her account, the conversation about seeing John Wick 4 in the theater, and how Wednesday Addams is definitely still in the zeitgeist. 

Talking everyone's favorite meals.  Also the best opening ever, a guide for how to find Jordan in Ontario, some serious dating of the podcast, an inside look at our methods, the nobility of fish fry, global KFC, Patton Oswald's lack of travel experience, how to fit into Oni Secret Denim, Versailles in Winter, the "barbecue store," the differences between Canadian and American corn pops, and how gold fish changed Paul's life.

Robots ruin the recording quality (happens), the fun of dominating at kid's soccer, an extreme dating of the podcast, the trials of teacore, what to wear to different events (wrong answers only), and night jeans.

Paul x Jordan:  Moms calling out the dads… 

How the turn tables, Jordan misses an episode...  Talking the horrors of travel with kids, and pro tips to make it slightly easier.  Paul also betrays his heritage by admitting he does not like Buc-ees, plus talk about the lawless wild west of parking lots (with a snow crash reference), the challenges of denim contests, how you never want to agree to meet Paul on a layover, and a surprising amount of discussion on how it might be better to jump out of a plane than to parent...

Adam (PGH Style Guy) comes on to talk about his secret origin, the slow death of the fashion rules, office wear after the pandemic, the meaningless of time, the loss of fighter aces as a concept, and the fashion mastery of Mr. Rogers...

Max or the Casual Watch Dude comes on to talk about jet lag, meetings in airport lounges, how all big companies turn into banks, denim, all things casual, and watches.  But mostly watches.Some of the watches featured in the episode...https://www.poljot24.de/en/marken/vostok.htmlhttps://www.seikoboutique.co.uk/product-category/prospex/prospex-alpinist/https://vulcain.ch/collections/crickethttps://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watches/black-bay-32-36-41https://www.omegawatches.com/en-gb/watches/speedmasterhttps://www.voutilainen.ch/the-watches/https://studiosarpaneva.com/

This Episode Not Brought to you by Wegmans, but it could be.  Haargus McFargus comes on to talk about taking a break from blue, brontosaurus collabs, how corgis are like children, the terrible sizing of Naked and Famous, and Wegmans.  Mostly Wegmans.  

We’re finally back to talk about the history of Thailand, Waluigi, Wisconsin Library Rules, Canadian Plumbing Propaganda, Remedial Chaos Theory, and maybe some Denim…

Paula, the Queen of the Plains (or Planes?) comes on to finally make the theme song honest

Lono goes away for a little while and the technology immediately collapses...  We apologize, there are some audio issues early, but they go away, and the conversation is worth the hassle...because Nick from Stock Tank Supply is on to talk about running a denim brand! (just as glamorous as we all imagined)

This is a long one, talking listener suggestions for unlikely collaborations.  But first, listen to how the podcast goes off the rails without Paul’s gentlemanly influence.  However, what he brings in maturity, he offsets in echo...And as promised, the video which inspired Jordan's terrifying bithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWkS0K9rdb0&ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon
