Episode Date
How No Laying Up's DJ Piehowski Spends His Sundays
00:19:19

About two months ago, I got a text about my dive into the world of vinyl records. It was DJ Piehowski (@djpiehowski), and the ripple effects of that text exchange are still being felt today. Because vinyls have become such a part of my Sundays lately, it only made sense to find out how DJ spends his ideal Sundays. From big breakfasts to Mac Miller to an early evening 18, this is how it's done.

00:45:47

Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of being invited to host our first live show from Nordstrom’s New York City flagship at 57th & Broadway with special guest and Nordstrom Men’s Fashion Director, Jian DeLeon. With about 130 guests joining us, we sat down to discuss Jian’s career path that lead him to Nordstrom, where he sees the world of men’s fashion heading, trend forecasting, and so much more. For the latter half of the episode, we took attendee-submitted In/Out Lists and broke them down in real-time. We hope you enjoy, and we hope this can be the first of many live episodes in the future!

Retail Therapy 034: Barrett Takes Tokyo & Gwyneth Paltrow's Water Bottle
01:20:16

If you're wondering why it's been a little bit since you've heard from the Retail Therapy team, that's because Barrett was out of the country — in Hong Kong and Tokyo, to be exact. Taking us through all his travels, Barrett discusses everything from the stores he visited to the general landscape of Tokyo itself. We also dive into some shoe talk in the realms of Jonah Hill's leather slides, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas collaboration, and the recent Aime Leon Dore x New Balance release. And to round things out, we dive into the state of "quiet luxury," Gwyneth Paltrow's water bottle, and some wishlist items.

Like we said in the episode, please please please pencil in May 10th in New York City for an event we're hosting. More details to follow, but our flights are booked.

Retail Therapy 029: 13 Vibe Shifts in 2023
01:09:22

The vibes have officially shifted so much that even The New York Times has noticed so we had no choice but to break down their popular column — 13 Predictions for Life in 2023 — which includes everything from the end of shoelaces to hair care to pet rats. To start the episode, we discussed the Clean Girl to Vanilla Girl pipeline with some winter-fashion-in-European-cities chat sprinkled in as well. On the back-end of the episode, we also discussed some recent drink trends: The New York Happy Meal, Vermouth and Soda, and Tom Hanks's Coca-Cola and champagne.

Whether you shouldn't have had that third martini last night or you woke up in your own bed with no idea how you got there, take ten minutes out of your Sunday to focus on what you need most. A breakfast sandwich from the bagel shop down the street, a tall bloody mary at a trendy brunch spot, or simply a large ice water — anything will do. But most importantly, thank yourself for the ten minutes you took to look inward — no matter how hungover you may be.

Five Stories About Starting A Relationship In Quarantine

From a couple who realized their on-again/off-again relationship could never work to a couple who finally said "I love you," these are their stories.

The Oral History of Sunday Scaries
00:55:36
The history behind The Sunday Scaries Podcast as it exists today. From starting my first Tumblr page in 2013 to recording my first episode, there were a lot of speed bumps, lucky breaks, and hard work along the way. With interviews from Kendra Syrdal (the first writer for Sunday Scaries who is now with Thought Catalog) and Dave Ruff (co-host of Circling back and my current friend/business partner), we discuss it all — the early days of content, getting hired and working for PGP, and the series of events that took me to where the podcast is today. * * * Shop Sunday Scaries: www.sunday-scaries.com/shop Sunday Scaries Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Will deFries Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries * * * Lumin: www.luminskin.com/scaries (first month FREE) Sun Basket: www.sunbasket.com/scaries (code SCARIES for $35 off your order) Roman: www.getroman.com/scaries * * * All music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast artwork by Alfonso Ruiz (www.alfonsoruizbook.com) and Tristan Pigott (www.tristanpigott.com)
