    Welcome to Neverrong - Trucker Hats

    Welcome to Neverrong - Trucker Hats

    Hey guys, thanks for waiting!



    Reed, Albert and I (David) are back with a new off-Heddels podcast called Neverrong and we thought you might want to hear about it.



    Neverrong is a fashion and culture show where we breakdown a topic that's trending in the world today and explore where it came from, where it's going, and how much carbon it's probably putting into the atmosphere.



    This is our first episode on Trucker Hats, but you can find a bunch more on our Substack and on Spotify, Apple, etc etc. Thanks for your support over the years!

    111 - Mule Talk

    111 - Mule Talk

    On this week’s Blowout… REED’S CORNER IS OFFICIALLY COOKED. Or at least the corner of Birkenstock Boston’s and Able to Buy Whenever. (Spoiler: He blames TikTok.) But because discovery is often generated out of necessity and Bostons are officially Pop Music now, that also means mules are Mainstream™, which has forced — yes, forced — us to investigate some alternative options in the Big Comfort footwear category. And guess what? Alongside oversized everything and a near-extinction event for hard-bottoms, the Mule Market is thriving my guys.

    Also: We answer some listener questions from the Discord and probably talk about other things, but don’t worry it’s mostly Mules.

    110 - I Chase, I Don't Attract (Shoes)

    110 - I Chase, I Don't Attract (Shoes)

    Now that Ye is getting himself canceled, what would it take for Pitbull to take over the fashion zeitgeist. We don't think it would be that hard. 

    Albert reviews Don't Worry Darling and the cool sneakers he saw in the crowd. Reed continues to deprive Albert of his sneaker connections. Albert begs a stranger at a party for shoes. Reed gets every sneaker he ever wants without even trying. 

    We embed a message to Andrew about Johan's free shoe life.

    SWEATER TALK - Reed knows a ton about sweaters and owns too many. We discuss the models, details, and fits that we love most. Albert chimes in with some sweatshirt love (more appropriate for his climate). Tennis sweater, cricket sweaters, the only appropriate venue for a v-neck, etc. Loopwheeled vs. cheap sweats.

    Big raw jeans are in vogue? Unfaded? Cool kids all around seem to be wearing big, stiff jeans - and although Reed and Albert disagree about which shoes look best with them, they agree the look can be cool. 

    We discuss Ye... even before the latest brouhaha had come out... we have to, right?

    109 - From Tbilisi With Love

    Our rock in this ever-changing world, David Shuck, is back for an episode from the road. Our brave traveler (and co-host on hiatus) calls in about Georgian nightlife, bootleg wine, and big news from Patagonia. Enjoy a joyous reunion of all three of the Blowout boys and learn a little bit about what the hipsters in Tbilisi are wearing right now. David admits we were right about our packing suggestions and tells us how he's keeping his grody clothes clean on the road. Everything you wanted to know about cleaning your three pairs of underwear in an Eastern European hotel sink but were afraid to ask.

    108 - What To Rock on Your First Date!

    108 - What To Rock on Your First Date!

    Albert trauma-dumps, his sister is totally fine now, by the way! Reed and Albert try and figure out how to have fun dressing even during the height of a heat-wave. How to find a good tee - buy from an establishment you like, rob your dad, etc. 

    The main event - what to wear on a first date! Reed and Albert attempt to set down some ground rules on what to wear on your first dates. How to look comfy and at ease and yet show your date-partner that you actually care. Don't stray too far from the things you normally wear. We run down a few situations that should hopefully help you all in all your dating endeavors!

    107 - Embrace the Heatwave, Embrace the Inner Slut (Preview)

    107 - Embrace the Heatwave, Embrace the Inner Slut (Preview)

    We discuss the difference between slutty (good) and pervert (bad) fashion behavior. What are the sluttiest sartorial choices you can make? After all, you want people to know you can put it down.

    Are we allowed to talk about sex? Who knows - we move on to safer territory, namely camp collar shirts. Are they on their way out and if so, why? Will they go the way of the fedora? We urge prudence before you get rid of anything in your rotation. But isn't this the natural impulse to put camp collars in the closet before layering season comes? We talk failed trips to J. Crew, generally bad retail experiences, Asics, and JJJJJJJound sneakers.

Awesome show

Very interesting and entertaining podcast! These guys are great together

Left wing middle schoolers

Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani doesn’t need to be retconned as a war hero, and the commentary by Reed and David sound like middle school potheads who turn every topic into a Michael Mooronic criticism of America and capitalism. They are the definition of sophomoric.

It’s great!

It’s not just denim and clothes. Super well researched. David and Reed have great chemistry. You’ll laugh and learn. Can’t beat that.
