¶ Intro
hello everybody . Welcome to another episode of the clone podcast .
I'm mike , I'm ryan uh , to some a duo , typically , typically . But we have a friend in the studio with us , ricky hi is there that much virgin ? This is your first podcast of all time . Huh , yes , wow , okay , you're going to do great Tons of pressure . Today's fragrance is by Memo Paris .
This is a fragrance that I have obsessed over for a long time , so I'm dying to know if you're going to like it or if you're going to hate it . Either one is great , yeah , and I haven't smelled it .
Yeah , and I haven't smelled it , so I'm excited to smell it .
You've never smelled it either .
I've never smelled it either it's like something he's been jamming on for a minute . I've been obsessed , yeah , I think since the first year we started this so since 2021 , he's been obsessed with this fragrance .
So some of these have been around .
Yes , yeah , this one's been around for a minute , right , yeah , before we probably even started the podcast , this thing's been around . Yeah , we need to probably google that , but fact check 2015 there we go , nine years that's a long time all right body scent on free grantica .
This is what they have to say about this is just some random , faceless review . Online says it's 85 , a clone of tiger balm . So there's more cardamom and hint of leather very medicinal . Stay with tiger balm . It's cheaper and might actually relieve some muscle aches at the same time . What is Tiger Balm ?
Almost like an ointment type thing you rub on for sore muscles .
It's like Bengay . So Icy Hot , yeah , yeah , yeah , icy Hot's in this cologne .
Might be . We're going to find out .
But before we do , we actually need to go into our one-night stand review of Zherjoff's Iommi Monkey Special . Hit the music , Todd . Yeah . One-night stand review .
¶ One Night Stand Review: Iommi Monkey Special
Well , Mike , after laying in bed with Tony Iommi and smelling his Monkey Special .
His monolithic yeah , it got better , but it's kind of dingy . You've been smelling it , Ricky . His monolithic it got better , but it's kind of dingy . You've been smelling it , Ricky . What do you think ? You immediately were like ugh , this one .
Yeah , I hate it .
What do you hate about it ?
It smells like I'm cleaning my house .
Okay , originally we were thinking like I don't know if you smelled them around here , but like muscadines or anything like that , you know , like the stuff that falls off the trees here and it kind of smells like kind of fermented in a way .
Yeah , or like the poopery .
Oh , oh , actually , I can see that .
I'm sorry , but your monkey is not special .
I will say this we were both like it's kind of good , we kind of liked it , but we didn't like really you know nothing to write home about , but we did . Later that day it does drive down and starts doing this like cinnamon sweet thing .
I see the cinnamon .
Do you see it ? It starts getting better later on . That's like the opening of it . But I'd be curious what you think later on this episode if it gets a little better .
Yeah , this is not that episode . So you know we're on to African leather , but I don't like monkey specials . Yeah .
Don't get it . How much is this ?
Oh shit , it's like 400 and something dollars .
She just did like that head jerk . Oh hell no .
Don't buy this . You know what you can do with for four hundred dollars what's that ? Direct flight to vegas . Caesar buffet all you can eat crab okay . Put a hundred bucks on the blackjack table . Okay , you might be stuck there , you might have my bag , but maybe you'll win you know what ?
or maybe you strike a rich .
It's a better investment yeah , don't buy monkey specials yeah , no monkey specials for you .
I mean , there might be a different type of monkey special in Vegas you could get .
There's definitely plenty of monkey specials .
I feel there's a lot of innuendos right here .
The guys just literally hand out the cards .
Oh yeah , the flyers for the gals and stuff .
Yeah , they're like trading cards and it's like different women Really .
Yeah , for the gals and stuff .
Yeah , they're like trading cards and it's like different women Really . Yeah , have you never been to Vegas , never been to Vegas . So yeah , you'll be walking down the street and then a random guy would just throw like 10 naked ladies cards in your hands .
It's like pokey men , for you know , wait , wait , wait it's pokey women for men . But it's like real , though you gotta catch .
Not talking about STDs .
No , like he's giving . Like did I miss the conversation ? But like is he giving out a card ? Like this is a lady here if you want to get with her yeah . Wow , and it's like legal or something there .
I don't know if it's legal , but as long as it'll cross state lines , you know .
Isn't it like Bunny Ranch or something out there or something I think ?
so yes , I think what's is legal .
I agree with her . We do not disagree with what you have to do to make a living . Well , I'm not looking down on it , I'm just trying to you know , tiptoe around the terminology here .
I think it's just safe to say sex work , I believe is legal within Nevada .
Mike has a full deck of cards .
Heck yeah .
Gotta catch them all , okay ? Well , there we go . This is definitely the special part of the monkey special . It was a skip for me , yeah , yeah , I'm going to say it's a skip for me as well .
And you said definitely don't buy this , so that'd be a skip for you as well , especially maybe if it was like $10 on sale on sale , oh damn . At .
Batman Body Works , there we go . Damn , that's a big name .
I think Ryan said if it was $78 , he would buy it . I would be considered for $78 .
I mean , I could see this being like a candle , like a fall candle that you buy and you maybe burn it in your house . But like I don't want my man , Let me get a little sniff . Yeah , Wearing it .
It doesn't smell like it should be on your body . Right , yeah , okay .
But it also doesn't Smell right either . It's like it smells spicy . It does smell fall-ish , winter-ish , but there's also Just a A little dinginess .
It's like fireball .
It's like a classy fireball , because like Classy fire , like fireball the candy , like it's Fireball the shot , oh the shot , okay the alcohol .
It's like it's fireball for your nose . But cheap Fireball , Very cheap . Not very good fireball for your nose .
I'm smelling it one more time , one more time when you said spicy .
spicy made me think of that and I was like there's a shot that and you're like .
Real quick before we go on . I got to ask this , so Some guy walked past . You Looks good , but he smells like that .
I'm immediately . I mean I might ask him hey , is that just your house that smells like that ? That's on you , or is that a cologne ? I actually wouldn't even ask him .
Like do you have a special monkey ? Oh Lord , Okay , Well
¶ Scent of the Day: African Leather
, we can just slide on over to African leather you want to let her do the dibs on . I absolutely do . Can I smell it ?
yeah , yeah , absolutely smelling them back to back .
I feel like they're very similar .
No , no , definitely not . They have that kind of spicy . No , woodsy don't even compare .
Okay , sorry , sorry .
Your opinion is wrong . Yeah , wow , this smells really fucking good to me , guys .
I like it , I think . It's pretty sharp , I feel like this is something like a man .
Yes man , a man is going to wear this . Yes man , baby , a real man . Okay , this is going to be the wildest thing . I'm gonna tell you what I think this smells like . Okay , it's like a combination , like the medicinal thing is kind of that , like it's like medicals , like almost like a little sour .
But then the other part that I feel like is kind of that sweet part , is like if you had a blue popsicle that you cut the tip off you know like it kind of smells like that right , Am I crazy ?
I'm getting the Vicks Vapor Rub vibe a little bit .
I do love me some Vicks .
My nose is like tingly a little bit from it , you know .
And now it's doing a Pier 1 wicker chair thing .
I was about to say this is the first time I'm smelling it , that I'm getting like a pencil shaving type smell on my skin . Y'all are so good at this .
I'm like you know , it smells great . We're novices . Trust me , yeah .
Pencils Like pencil shavings yeah , I get what you're saying . Wood chips .
Yeah , maybe wood chips Like a woodsy sort of a smell .
I don't know , just a man Lumberjack .
Okay , l lumberjack , there we go . We got some flannel on . Oh yeah yeah , it's like fall giving fall . Yeah , yeah , I do believe that this is warmer weather , sort of a colder weather you mean , yes , I'm sorry , yeah , colder weather .
She went back and she sprayed again it smells better on my hand .
I like this . Although it could be mistaken , I feel like this also could be what middle school boys put on after they get done in athletics .
Really To cover their stench , some Axe body spray man .
I'm sorry if I'm offending you .
No , no , no say what you want . We need the real deal .
Not that I'm saying that smells bad , but I do .
It's like flashback to middle school , like when the boys would just dose , dose themselves with body spray , or do you feel like you're trying to say like this is like a mixture of BO and that no ?
no , no , no BO . I don't see the BO .
Just overly strong fragrance to cover up any offenses , but not like migraine immediately strong . Okay .
But like if you stunk , I think this would cover it .
Absolutely . It's loud as fuck , very loud .
It smells loud as fuck , Very loud . It smells different on this paper to me . It does that . Yeah for sure .
Because this is giving me more Vicks . Okay , and this is giving me more man . Hand is giving me more man , and paper is giving me more Vicks .
Okay , so what we've kind of observed over time is that this is almost what it smells like in like an hour or so on your skin .
Ugh , what this ?
Yeah .
The paper . This is what it's going to smell like eventually . Maybe I don't like this .
Or do you mean on clothes , or clothes too ? Yeah , I always think like clothes for me .
Then I don't like it .
You don't like this .
If it's going to fade to this paper , Then that's a no for me .
Well you never know , though , skin chemistry , that sort of a thing .
I mean , yeah , people sweat , some people don't sweat , some people don't shower , Some people shower .
Some people just keep spraying African leather on yeah .
I love the smell on my hand .
It smells good and it definitely is for a fucking man .
Yeah .
It smells great .
An accountant is not wearing this .
Okay , good to know . So this is not like an office-y type . No , when is he wearing it then ? When do you imagine the person wears this ?
I mean when they're going out they're getting dressed up , but like a guy that like this is , not like a guy that's like an accountant or like he's a blue collar guy . Yeah . I can see like an oil field worker .
Oh yeah , he's like our friend Dakota , who's a friend of Patreon .
He's like he's dirty during the day , but at night Dirty at night .
Well he smells good , but he's also better be dirty at night .
Only real men are dirty at night . There we go , but my hand smells way better than this paper .
Okay .
No , the more I smell this paper , the more I hate it . Huh , my hand smells way better than this paper .
Okay , no , the more I smell this paper , the more I hate it . Huh , it has a sour thing going on , right .
It's like the icy hot for me .
Yeah , Okay . Well , let me hip you guys to a little price and popularity on this . Okay , you ready to know how much this bad boy costs ?
Yeah , let me smell my hand .
¶ Price and Popularity
Wait , can we take a ?
guess . Let her guess . Yeah , yeah , I want you to tell me how much you think this costs .
It's been around for nine years .
Yeah , been around for a minute , so old it's been played out .
We should have filmed this , because the faces you're making are pretty great .
She is not liking . She's liking this and not liking this I know it's very Gemini of me .
I'm going to say can I give you two different answers ? Yeah , sure . This paper , one that I don't like is , I'm going to say , $95 .
Okay .
And my hand version , I would give a solid $250 .
You're very close , actually $550 . Sorry , what yeah , $550 .
Is that how much it was when it originally came out ?
What was it when it originally came out ? Oh no , that's the price . It doesn't change . It ain't changing . This is niche . This ain't changing . They ain't discounting it $550 .
So this is like a big deal in the men's community .
And the furters community , because this is kind of unisex , isn't it ?
Yeah , it's considered unisex and actually , Ricky , I think you would like this brand because it's built around traveling , so each fragrance is based on a different . They have fragrances inspired by Ireland .
This is inspired by Africa . They saw an elephant and they said , that's they rode behind an elephant long enough , but they have one for Marfa Texasas .
What's special in there , marfa texas the stars , I think , is what , like inspired , don't even have to auto-tune that all right , taylor , I'm coming for you somebody needs to .
Oh well , well , we don't even need to get on the subject .
I hate this paper . It'll be two against one if we go against Taylor . Oh , y'all two . Both love Taylor .
We're both Swifties , oh God .
Yes , die hard . I hate this paper .

You were close again 4.28 out of five with over 3,800 votes . Wow , that's high .
That's a high score .
For this . That is a high score .
That's actually a high score .
This is a super high score for this , yes , On the skin .
you would rate it what out of five ?
Okay , if it stayed like this on my skin , I would give it a solid 4.7 . Damn .
Wow , don't read too much into that . I was just kind of lopping that out there .
Okay , well , if Mike is wrong , someone correct him , so I can know .
Well , in a few hours you'll be able to correct me yourself .
Well , let me actually , ricky , ask you this really quick . You're very early on . You were already kind of saying who wore this . If you could really dive deep into
¶ Who's Wearing This
that . You smell . I want the hand version . Okay , what kind of throw that card away . Get that card out of here . What kind of man do you see really wearing that ? What's he look like ? What's he do for a fucking living ?
okay , he's definitely like over six foot okay , there we go definitely over six foot um .
He definitely has facial hair oh yeah but clean shaven , it's not like duck dynasty ish shitty , yeah , oh so it's not like Duck Dynasty-ish Not shitty yeah , oh .
So it's like there's not going to be a fly in his beard Five o'clock . Shadow type , no , a little thicker , oh , okay A little thicker , a little something on his face A little , paul Bunyan , I got you .
He may have glasses .
Okay .
And he that's neither one of us . I mean well , Ryan , you've got some decent eyes and You've got some decent peepers . They're hazel , Yours are .
Yeah , he's definitely like at least 230 , minimum 230 weight . Yeah .
I beat that oh man . I'm like 237 .
Minimum . I said minimum 230 .
Oh , so you think this is a burly man ?
I told you he's a man . Okay , Okay here we go . A man is like a big , strong man . Yeah , Doesn't have six pack , but he's like can protect you .
Oh yeah , he's like farmer strong yeah , oh yeah .
He's like an offensive lineman .
Oh damn , he's got some pudding on him then , but not like chonky . I know what you're talking about , but you get what I'm saying . Oh , I trust you . He's Zach Martin , that's what he is .
Yeah , I would accept that .
Zach Martin dude .
Yeah , that's weird , came to mind immediately .
But then I feel like , on the other hand too , you could also .
That's like option A , but I also feel like option B would be like a little boy that wants to be a man .
Oh , this is hidden too close to home . Like lord fockwad would wear this man .
He's way under six foot . Hey , this fragrance is all over the place now for me . I'm saying in my mind I think a strong man is gonna wear this , yeah I can definitely see like a little , a little man a guy trying to be the strong man yeah , a little man like lord fockwad pick number three , my lord he .
I feel like he would wear this to mask his insecurities oh , oh now I feel like it's either gonna be a super confident man I can't get this now I'm all over the place .
Honestly , I feel like this fits every man that's ever existed . You're either super confident burly man or you're masking it .
I don't know In my mind a very tall manly man that can like chop wood . Oh , yeah , he definitely can change a tire .
Boy , what's up with women ? Nikki said that in a thing . She was like oh , this guy can change a tire .
Can't all of us change a tire by now ? No , boy slash man that was born 2000s and up I'm sure knows how to change a tire .
Damn Okay , well , if you're- .
I apologize if you do , but in my opinion they don't . You know these Gen Zs or whatever you call them .
But what if you're a man that can change a tire but you really fucking hate it so you just get AAA or somebody to come do it ? I mean , if you can pay For someone else to do it , Then that is fine as long as you don't have .
Impressive .
This man on my hand Is going to fight A bear for you .
Oh damn , yeah , man versus bear .
He's like Because the bear Is going to be attracted To this scent , because it's got A little bit of honey in there Got something .
You know what it's got a little sweetness to it .
You want to go over the perfume pyramid .
Actually , it doesn't have a perfume pyramid on this one .
What's the perfume pyramid ?
So sometimes they call it that , sometimes they don't on this website , but on this one there's no like top , middle or base notes . It's just like here's all the notes together to make this fragrance .
It's like if you taste stew , it's like going there stock you know . That's kind of the ingredients , basically Okay .
So here are the notes Cardamom , leather , saffron , cumin , garlic Cumin you picking up some cumin ? Are you picking that up ? Yep , patchouli , vetiver , geranium , argo , wood bergamot and musk .
So I think this misses all of us , because I don't think .
Musk is where the money is coming from .
Any of us here know what the hell 90% of that is Geranium .
I don't know what that's on the periodic table of elements .
Past me . Did I say geranium or geranium ? Yeah , I'm with you . I don't know what any of these smell like other than leather , but I don't really get leather .
I was going to ask do ?
y'all get leather .
Yeah , I get that a little bit .
Really Okay . I get the vibe of it . I mean I'm really getting a lot of pencil shaving wood chips .
I'm not getting that .
I'm past that sharp medicinal area . I didn't know like past that sharp medicinal area . Yeah , it's like underneath .
Yeah , you know , I'm like kind of peeking .
You're lifting the covers a little bit .
I want to see what's going on down there .
My nose isn't trained . I smell too much GI bleed poops in my life .
Yeah , so
¶ Patreon Q&A
actually we had a couple of questions from our Patreon yeah , hit her up and one of them had to do because I mentioned that you worked in the medical field .
That's awesome .
And you want me to read you a little bio that I made for you .
Oh yeah , you made me a bio .
I did yeah , when I posted in the group .
That's cute . Tell me about myself .
I said today we're having Ricky in the studio to record an episode . She's a badass nurse , an extremely loyal and encouraging friend and is always down to model when our photo friends need her . And then I said what question should we ask ? And cheryl asked how does she handle fragrances in her job when so many medical buildings discourage perfume use ?
okay , that is actually a thing because I work on the heart unit so I have a bunch of heart attack patient , open heart patient . I do get a lot of copd patients .
Well , those fragrances will exacerbate their copd really and so , actually , I work with a lot of nurses , including myself , that actually are prone to migraines too , and so , like we have sprays for gi , bleeds are the things that smell the worst . If you're a nurse , you know .
Oh yeah .
They will stink up the whole unit . So coffee grounds will soak up all the stink . So we put coffee grounds in the rooms .
That's interesting .
Okay , yes , and then normally I go spray whatever I can find , so body Bath and Body Works , whatever I can find . I call it shit-tress , shit-tress . So you know , you gotta do what you gotta do To save your eyebrows From being Burnt off . Woo . But For the most part I've never had An administrator Come up to me and tell me my fragrance Was too strong .
Gotcha but like I also don't have Like super fancy .
Has anybody that you ever worked with been called out for having a strong fragrance ?
I work nights .
So I don't ever see administrators .
If .
I do . I'm usually in trouble already .
So we've got Michael who asked how much is too much fragrance Like , at what distance ? If you can smell it , is it ?
like If I can smell you like four feet away , I feel like that's way too much okay , I'm not stopping you should be able to walk by me and I just get a nice little whiff I'm not stopping guys but I can sit next to you .
I don't think sitting next to someone would be like if I can sit next to you , or like two or three chairs over I gagged him this morning , yeah , yeah , I walked in the studio and he was in this editing room and I was overwhelmed at the door . Yeah , that's too much .
Yeah , and I was like and I came in .
Yeah , I did .
Oh , okay , then this is just how he likes to wear fragrances . And I came in and sat down next to him and I was like I'm sorry , dude , I gotta come back out . And we ended up having to turn the fans on and stuff because it was so loud and it was only five sprays of crystal saffron , Crystal saffron guys , oh Lord .
I would think like two to three sprays .
Oh yeah , yeah , that's more my realm . Two to three , he's like 20 to 30 sprays .
I'm like 10 to sprinkler when I'm putting stuff on .
And it looks like it too , Okay .
So , Michael , if your significant other is prone to migraines , then two sprays . There you go For their sake , because number one , if they get a migraine , they're going to be a bitch , and number two , if they get a migraine , you're not getting any good good .
And you want that . Good , good , michael Yep .
Poor get a migraine you're not getting any good .
Good and you want that good . Good , michael . Yeah , poor man's morphine .
But you know what I ?
won't get into it okay .
Uh , we've got .
I want to know more about the bitch part . No , I'm kidding go ahead .
Okay , I can tell you dakota wants to know what was your introduction to fragrances , or do you have any fragrances that come to mind that you enjoy , or give us your take on fragrances in general , because I have a feeling you're not too invested no , I'm a fragrance virgin because you have two . You have the ariana grande , I have one of ariana grande's .
It's like the cloud one okay , yeah , good choice , and then I see dusseldorosy oh yeah , issey miyaki .
Oh my god , I love issey miyaki . I don't have , I don't , I haven't smelled and I see Dusseldorsey .
Oh yeah , issey Miyake . Oh my God , rose by Rose , I love Issey Miyake . I haven't smelled that one , but I do love Issey .
Miyake , I should have brought it .
Man . So she said this is my fancy . I'm dressing up , yes , I'm going out , I'm strutting my stuff .
That one's kind of loud have you smelled ?
the . Oh my god , just try it and tell him , I don't know anything .
I know , when me and Lindsay Went to Europe , she was like oh my god , we have to smell this cologne Because Mike's always Talking about it and I'm like In the perfume section and I'm like my head is going to explode .
Well .
I can't smell one fragrance . What happened ?
Is that she smelled it On a Terrence and she said , oh my god . And she said , oh my God , I love this fragrance . And he said it was Baccarat Rouge , which , by the way , cloud is like a version of Baccarat Rouge .
Really Uh-huh .
Yeah , it's kind of like a clone or dupe of it . So she got Cloud and she's been trying to smell Baccarat Rouge for forever . So I think when you guys were out there she went and smelled it and she texted me and she was like I'm just not in love with it now , but she had been obsessing over after she smelled it on terrence for the longest time .
Like it smelled so good , I've got to have it is it real expensive too ?
yes , really I feel like I remember smelling it and I was like you're like we got baccarat rouge at home .
Let's see , I think we got one more in here . John says Do fragrances mean something To her in her daily life , or is it a take it or leave it Kind of a thing ? If she's more Take it or leave it , her perspective would be More interesting , because I think that's where the majority Of people are .
What do you think You're kind of a Take it or leave it Type of person ?
Yeah , I don't think Smells in my life are normally bad . Because , I work in a hospital and I wipe a lot of ass . Most of the smells that I'm smelling are not great , but I will say when something smells good , it definitely gets my attention .
That's a nice thing .
Yeah , so if a man walks by me or a woman and they smell good , I'm like Are you prone to like compliment somebody if they smell good ?
Yeah , okay .
You've complimented me for wearing Insidious . That's a good one .
That's a great movie also .
It is a great movie . She likes spooky movies as well . Yes , I love spooky movies . Okay , here's the burning question that all guys want to know Does a fragrance take them over the edge ? If maybe you were undecided , do I like this guy , will I say yes and give him my phone number ?
Is a fragrance going to help with that , or are we just wasting our time ?
I want to say probably , Because if you stink I'm definitely not giving you my phone number .
Yeah , yeah , okay , maybe it's more . Don't smell bad , right ? Yeah , just don't smell .
If you smell bad , then immediately I'm thinking that your hygiene care is shit yeah .
I mean , I think , how do I word this ? It's like the whole package , right . Yeah , you know what I'm saying . I don't think anybody like you could be good looking , but it's like they're good looking , they carry themselves well , good conversation , and they smell good , you know .
It's kind of like the not the cherry on top , but like maybe like some sprinkles .
Yeah , there you go . Okay , yeah , I can vibe with that . Yeah , so make sure your sprinkles are good , okay .
Or buy it .
What are you going to do , ricky
¶ Skip it, Sample it, Buy it
, for $550 .
Oh , I'm .
As manly as this is . Yeah , are you going to wear this ?
I personally would not wear this .
Is it a skip or a sample or a buy to the gentlemen listening out there ?
Yeah , I don't think I would this paper .
It keeps driving you nuts .
The paper version . It has me skeptical okay because if this is how you're gonna smell in a couple of hours , then I'm gonna say skip it .
You're gonna smell like I may have ruined this whole thing for by saying that . Why ?
all I smell on this paper is icy hot . You're like grandma thinks that you have a sickness and then she's going to rub vapor rub on your chest . My mother definitely rubbed , oh yeah .
That's just an old school thing . I think it is because , man , that was a popular thing . Does it really work ? I got to know .
I mean it opens up your sinuses , yeah .
Yeah , because my grandma we went through some vapor Dude I've never had anyone rub VapoRub on me ever .
Well , never felt that tingle .
I'm stepping out on this , you guys hey . Okay the VapoRub . It's not that hot in here . Why are you red , Dude ?
I'm sweating right now I got pretty attached to the nose , vapor rub things . You know it's shaped like a chapstick , but you kind of put it in your nose and give it one of those .
You know I've never used one of those , but I would love that because I actually do love the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub .
I do too . It was the closest I got to being addicted to drugs .
I'm definitely going to sample it .
Okay , you recommend the guys out there trying it .
Yeah , if it smells like menthol after a couple hours , then just toss it , but if you keep having this manly man smell , I don't know . I really like the way my hand smells , but also I'm like $550 is just absurd .
Yeah , you can find this discounted though .
Yeah , I should have found that information . That's my bad guys .
Okay , if you can find it discounted for less than $200 , then you can get it .
Okay , okay , thank you .
I'll say this because you're not as invested . I mean , I'm not as invested as you , so let me get mine . I want yours to be last . Okay , go for it For me . It's funny Because you have been Like freaking Dude . This guy's been I forgot Michael's obsessed with this . He's obsessed with it .
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings , you know what , and he's never shut up about it . So I'm just like Do you have this ?
Does it smell like this At the end of the day ?
I have a decant of this which is just like A travel atomizer , like a 10 mil .
Do you smell like menthol ?
I guarantee , if you give this about an hour or two , this is going to smell completely different . I was going to tell you when you leave here , take that with you and then let them know , because I guarantee it's going to smell different .
Okay , but for me , you know , I have been hyped for it because you have been so horny for it and it's like it's not what I expected Really . Yeah , like I do like this , though , mm .
Yeah , like I do like this , though it has that menthol top kind of thing going that Layton does , which when you first smell it , like you're doing right now , and which , by the way , when me and him both smelled Layton , we didn't know how to handle it or accept it in the beginning . But now I kind of like it .
So there's parts of this I like , but it's not worth it to me . I think it's a sample .
Yeah , I think it's a sample for most people . Okay , I think it's a sample . Yeah , I think it's a sample for most people . Okay , because it is . To me it's a more niche-down version of something like Leighton , which is another fragrance that we're talking about , but it's a sweeter , more vanilla medicinal fragrance .
It gets pretty and this , to me , was a spicier , less sweet , so in my mind , mind , even a little bit more masculine , and I think that's why I was kind of like man , I something about it , something about that kind of bite that it had the little sizzle , it's got on it .
Adjective yeah , makes me think like if you could just get a little bit , you know , like me , just a little , a little , that somebody might go , oh , oh , okay .
I got the end-all , be-all question for Ricky , okay . Okay , and this may hurt your feelings , but does this fit the persona of the Mike we know ? Does this fit him ?
80% 80% .
You can be honest .
No , I'll give you 80% . Tear his ass apart .
No , I would give this . There's a 20% of you , because you're a podcast photographer .
You're not as dirty as the man , as I would . I'm just not manly enough .
I'm sure you can change a tire .
I can . I've changed plenty . I will say this about Mike .
He is very much like almost a carpenter . If we needed to build something , he's helped build Mike . He is very much like almost a carpenter . If we needed to build something , he's helped build things . He's got tools and stuff .
I've never seen it .
I've seen it , I've witnessed it .
Look , I've put many screws and stuff up on the studio walls .
You did hang Lindsay's curtains . I saw that .
He did it by himself , ladies . Yeah , see how strong he is . He hung curtains .
Wait , this may be voting against the manliness .
I know it's so hard because it's like I'm saying it's a manly man , but you have dinosaurs tattooed on you . Yeah , that's true .
I , like I've done manly stuff . I put up curtains , okay , purple curtains at that , oh Lord . Well , ricky , thanks for joining us on this episode and giving your uneducated opinion .
Yeah , it was a fun time . It was nice meeting you again . It's the second time , but nice meeting you again . You did really well and I think you handled this pretty good .
Yeah . So there it is , guys . You better be manly AF if you're going to get .
