Should we bring back parachute pants? Welcome to Good Mythical More. Pants. Pants. Everybody's wears. Sometimes. Everybody's a wears. everybody wears thems. But what kind of pants should you be wearing and should we be accepting pants that once were popular? What do you like? I feel like. The definitive, like what is an acceptable pant with every year that passes, you could go to a place and you just see people wearing every type of pant. It does feel like a lot of things are fair game right now 'cause we're, we just have to, it has to be shrinking like the pant size it got it got big. Now I, I'm afraid that it's getting smaller here. Well, that's, I wanna talk about that, but that's not really what I'm talking. You're see, how about the diversity of pants? You'll see small pants, see, you see somebody wearing tight jeans and somebody wearing bell bottoms. You see big pants and they can both look cool. But I do think that young people stick more closely to trends. So I observe this amongst my children and their friends. Yep. That they seem to all kind of be wearing similar jeans depending on like what group they're in. Yes. And I think that we're going to hit some of those, but for, but for us, I do believe that you are right. That if you just think about our pants and of course your pants, uh, case in point. Your pants are always a little bit more, uh oh. These are, these are my weird pants. A little bit more weird than my pants. These pants have these on patches, um, and they're bigger and, and like these, these, they're comfy. These pants are pretty, uh, you know, that's pretty, that was a pretty, that's a pretty pant wrap. That's a pretty, that's a pretty little, but that's a pretty big opening. Yeah. Maybe o larger than than other, some men our age would wear. Oh, but if you go back in time, there's some really tight pants on the register and the langster. Oh God, I don't ever want to have to go back to that. And here's the thing. I get injured trying to take my pants off. Can I just make a little prediction? We, you could save this, clip this, put it on your hard drive. Remind me in five years. So I tend to be a little bit resistant. To the trends and the older I get, the more resistant I become because I'm almost 50. I'm six, seven. Yep. I, it's like I kind of wanna find a profile and stick with it. I know definitively, objectively, I look bad in really, really tight pants. Okay. Okay. But if the pants get tight. I think you're gonna wear 'em. I just think that's gonna happen. I think, oh me, you will go to jeggings if you have to. Oh my God. Uh, I think you would. There is something secure about 'em. I And so everything stays in place. And this is my question for you just right now. 'cause this is the part I want you to say to your hard drive. If I see you in something like this, do you want me to say something or do you want me to just let it slide? Let you live your life. Do you want accountability in this area? Um, the tightness of the pants, if, if. In, in two, three years, you'll be on the cutting edge. Uh, do you want me to No. A code word? If I think the price have gotten too tight that it's like, look at you. Accountability is a four letter word for me. Oh, okay. Well, I already knew that. Okay. So no, I don't accept accountability. That sounded bad in, in terms of fashion. In terms of fashion. So, okay. So I'd rather not and And you don't want my accountability, do you think? I don't think I don't say it. Don't say it. Don't even say it. What would you say? Don't, don't say that. What would you say? So what? Hold on. But you would go, to my opinion, to a place with pants like this. I'll see you on a three years. You on a red carpet with these? I wouldn't put it past me. That's what I'm saying, man. But you just said you didn't something want it to happen. I mean, if it's culturally inappropriate, yes. I would like accountability. Culturally inappropriate? Yes. You mean like cultural appropriation as an example? Yes. I'm not gonna, any type of cultural inappropriateness, I'm open to that accountability. Okay. I think jeggings are fair game. I don't think that's cultural appropriation. I don't, I don't think. I don't either. Okay. So, but do you think these will come back? Uh, no. They don't ha, you know, it doesn't have to be for Link. They're not even gone. You know, it just be for people who wear jeans. Let's talk about 'em for the, nobody needs these. For the lady in the, if you thought jeans or jeans, I thought you'd have an opinion on ladies wearing these. I if I, if I could choose whether or not a lady would have on these or these, and it was my decision, which it's not. Let me just, let me just be clear. I'm choosing this every time, but you're never choosing because you can't, you shouldn't. I'm not Right. I mean, if Okay. If Jesse was like, do you want me to wear my jeggings or my parachute pants? Okay. If, if, if the choice is given to me, I'll be like, well, how cold is it? You might need to wear both. I, I, I do believe that there are pants that, uh, women should be allowed to wear. A men shouldn't be allowed to wear. We're, we're working on a study. It, it's a University of Stanford. I think jeggings, jeggings are just workout pants that have a denim pattern on them. That's just. It is dumb. I will say that. That's dumb. Would you be willing to tell me if my pants are too tight? Uh, yeah. If I came out there and showed you my pants? Yeah. Right now? Yep. Right now? Yep. Oh yeah. He will. I would like to see them. Okay. Meaning are they too tight for the style these days? Okay. My, my, my wife gave me some side eye. Okay, these on, I'm gonna stand upstairs. When you put 'em on today, she's like, Hmm, you're a little old for that. Were these like back of a closet little or this is just like, had these not come out in a little bit? Is that why she side Okay, come this, come this way towards you. Yeah. Okay. So what, what do you mean you're, you're a little too old for that. Like, young people don't, this, this is not, it's not about young or old carnie. This is about No, but in style. Think it's, it's, no, no, but it is, it is. Most people. Most people, you, you can't just continue dressing like a child. That's how you can't do that like most adults are. Yeah. But this, this is not what the children dress like. I agree with that. So I agree with that. It's just, they're just out of style. That's also fair. I think that's, that's what I would've said. Those, those are, those are skinny jeans. They're skinny hitch. What do you think? I, I just think we don't need any, listen, you don't need any other opinions, uh, respect to hitch, but. Retire 'em. Yes. No, no. Don't re put them in a crate 'cause they will come back. Okay. And here's the thing. I think I would go this tight 'cause let me show you this. Keep saying out there. I can get my hand in. There's like, I'm at Nordstrom. I can get my hand in there. See that? Mm-hmm. I can my, well can get my, I can get my whole hand. Well, you can't. You can't. No. You're getting two fingers in there. No, my whole hand is in there. Okay. Okay. I got my whole hand in his jeans. And if you can do that, you can still wear 'em. But those jeans that are painted on now, I can't get it out. You gotta go to a gooseneck. I'm going to a concert. Snake Goose head. Um, I made that one look a little bit better. Yeah. Don't wear those, buddy. I'm going Right. So, oh, you are? No, no, I don't. She told you not to wear 'em. Now we're telling you not to wear 'em. Get her to bring you some other pants. No, it's, this is not, it's not that kind of situation, man. They are black and that helps. It's not that kind of sit, it's just not a, this isn't a gotta change. This isn't like he's peed his pants. I mean, if you were in Motley Crewe mm-hmm. You could still wear these. I think Rip was in Motley Crew. I think. Let's rip. Let's rip him. Right here, right now. That's gonna make them way more outta, you know how when you cut up, rip right here, right? That's gonna, you rip it right here? Yeah. That'll look good. It'll look good. I'm definitely too old for rip. Okay. Well, all right. Uh, I think that you just need, they need to be a little looser. They need to be, I try to loosen 'em up. That's what I was doing. They don't need to be this loose. Okay. All right. Was that helpful? I think I'm not gonna wear 'em again. Yeah, I I wouldn't wear 'em, uh, parachute pants though. Oh, parachute pants. Now these aren't hammer pants. Hammer pants have a lower, lower crotch. Yeah. These are baggy warmup pants. Uh, I just don't, you gotta have the, you gotta have a certain personality to wear those. I've never been able to do it. Never owned a pair. Never been able to do it, I don't think. What about 'em though? I think they're counter the sparkle. They're counter culture in some weird way. They're like, what am I trying to say? These are independent of fashion and style. This is for like a rogue person that's just out there doing their own thing. A rogue person. Yeah. This is for rogues. Fashion rogues. I mean, I just think, I don't think you can be over six foot two and look good in these, so I just do, so I, I just don't, they've never, they've never crossed my mind. I'm putting against on this side, I'm against these shouldn't come back Genco jeans kind of already back. This is what this is. We were big into these. And now our kids at the same age that we were when we were, are in, were in these, literally, they are now in these, but these have deflated significantly for Shepherd. Oh yeah. Shepherd was too trendy for him. Shepherd was in this level 18 months ago, and now he is smaller. Oh, significantly skinny. Smaller, not skinny. No. Just still, still loose, but 50% down from this. Yeah. Do these need to? Yeah, they, I think these are just, um, they balloon too far. The styling from the og jenko jean situation. The, the, the, that cropped boxy tea is very now Yeah. Versus y'all would've worn like a baggy tea that would come down further on it. Or a thrift store polo. Yeah. We actually wear tight t-shirts with this. You did wear tight? Yeah. Or like a, like a You did not too tight. Not like a polo. I thought you, I thought you wore a bag. Baggier not super tight in, in, uh, college, but, but we never wore the baggy shirts. That was, uh, after us. I don't think you need to come by. I think that they, they overdid it. I, again, I think we're talking about extremes here, right? Yeah. What are trip pants? I, I'm not familiar with this term. So these look like. What's the dancing that we industrial Dancing. Is this industrial dance pants? I think so, yeah. Trip with two peas, trip pants, trip. They just have a bunch of chains and a Coutre mall. It's like a jco, but Oh, even more. More of a alternative goth inspired street wear. Yeah, so it's, it is JCO with. Darkness. It's like the hot, it's hotter topic. It's hotter. Hotter topic. Yeah. Dark jco characterized by baggy legs. Removable chains. Yeah. Bondage straps, grommets and metal hardware like D-rings. I think that if you d, if you ever wore these, and I don't know, this is the kind of thing that it is. So this one's so far. I know you said that these are for rogues. I think this is most clearly tied to a counterculture, and I think that that means that it can come and go as it pleases, but you know what I mean. This happens in groups. This right here is a singular person. I co, that's what I'm saying. I rogue co agree with that. You see, if you see one person wearing these, there'll be one near four other people. Yes. You see one person wearing parachute pants or warmup pants, he by himself. By himself. By himself. He is by himself. Happy. Happy though. Generally happy. Yes. Upbeat. If they will. Upbeat, if you will. They will. They will. I, I'd rather bring back JCO pants than these, but I think that there's a whole, there's a whole, there's practices that go along with this. This is a come and go as you please. I can't comment on this. Yeah. This, this is, this is timeless. This is time. Trip pants are timeless. Velure track suit. I just think this is just, I mean, be careful. Now, what don't you like about that? I'm just telling you right now, if I go to a hospital emergency room, I'm gonna see nothing but these. What if I go to an ER waiting room, go into one, look at the knees, look at the shins, look at the thighs, velure covered. It is what people are wearing when they're down and out. It's down and out. Wear velo. Tracksuits are hold on, down and out. This sounds like this is stemming from an experience. When was the last time you went? Everyone who has an emergency is wearing velour tracksuit pants. Um, it's. Not just the people who have had the accident, but the people who are accompanying them to the emergency room. Like is this a correlation? Well, yeah. I'm not saying it's a causation. I'm, we're, I'm saying this is, this is injuring people. We're gonna have to study this. It's just, it's kind of. Contagiously trashy. What? You love these? No. You think I'm being harsh? I know they're, it's a, it's a, just have an opinion now. It's medically trashy, but yeah, it's like respectfully. I just think this falls into the category of good for the ladies off limits for the men. Yeah. And, uh, I'm pro Why I like a little trashiness. Yeah. All right. I mean, I didn't think of this as trashy until you painted a picture of an ER full of trashy women in their velure tracksuits, and now I just kinda wanna be there. I think I'm thinking about breaking my own arm so I can go there. In my mind, you can just visit an emergency room. No, you can't. You just can't do that. Yeah, you can't anymore. It's like an airport. No, you cannot just visit, you can't visit an airport anymore. You can't. They, they want to know why you're there the moment you show up. Well, 'cause they're trying to help you. It's not 'cause you're not allowed. Right. I don't think you're allowed to just go into an emergency room. You can't just, I can't, you can't. You're not supposed to go, you can't be selling candy bars. Well, what do you, you can't just go in there. I mean, if you're going in to be with someone, well, it's just, you can't just be like, I wanted to see what your emergency room looked like. It, you know, it's a way to keep your finger on the pulse of culture. Yeah. Literally sometimes. Oh yeah. Like why, why, what are people coming down with? What are sick people wearing these days? You know, you, you're learning a lot by going to a Next time I go to the emergency room. I am gonna be on the lookout for this and I'm gonna get picks. I'm telling you, dude, I just don't think that this is, go now and take a look. These, these are just cha. Um, I've had relatively good emergency room experiences in Los Angeles. Everyone are, in terms of the fashion of other people that are in the room. Yes. The fast. Yeah. And also the fastness. You know, you watch that pit boy and you start thinking that. The emergency rooms are just outta control. And I, and you would think that in LA maybe that would be the case, but I've been to multiple hospital emergency rooms and maybe th I've been to three different hospitals and it just felt like it wasn't s sleepy, it wasn't that busy. There was like six people in there and I got in there pretty fast. Anybody have bad emergency room experiences like the pit? That's a good question. I don't think we have time for it. Okay. I, I, I want to get through all of, we have, we have a lot of these. Let's go, let's go. Rapid, rapid fire sailor pants. Uh, I don't know what, so they're buttons on the sides. These are high wasted. Super cute. Super cute. I don't if these had a time, I don't remember like the sailor pants. Time. I, I'm, I'm all in favor of their becoming a time. I like that. I think they look good. Oh, it's fun. It's different. I mean, depending on what you got up top, you could be in a marching band, acid wash jeans, uh. Anybody got any of those on right now? I like these. These are almost skinny gene, uh, profile. It. Look, it might be Carney, I think. I think the combination of skinny gene and acid wash, acid wash can bring back the skinny gene. Yes. Yes. Why is that? I don't know. Something about the combo really works. I always worried, I always worried they wouldn't hold up because it, they've already been washed with acid. Well, you, you think they're just gonna disintegrate? Yeah. So do you, you don't like, uh, I, I appreciate a change in the, in a denim, uh, color. I think sometimes the denim color's not interesting enough. And so I, I like that, but I'm not a holes in the pants guy. You just tried to cut a hole in Carney's paper. Oh, I'm a whole ripper, but I'm not a hole receiver. You're a hole ripper. That's what you just said? Yeah. That was my nickname in high school. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So we're keeping these, sorry, I, I am anti hole gene in jeans. You heard? Hey, clip that in jeans. He's anti hole in jeans. I'm anti gene hole. Yeah. Except for the one that you zip up. I'm pro that hole. Yeah, those are good holes. That's a useful hole. What the hell is a zba? I think he plays for the Clippers. Zba. I think he got traded actually. Are these weightlifting pants? Yes. Aren't they? Yes. These are, these are masculine jeggings. They're a little baggy. It's, uh, it's, it's a brand. Iconic, baggy and comfortable lounger athletic pants. Famous for their bold, brightly colored, striped zebra patterns. Low, originating low in 1988 for bodybuilding. Bodybuilding. Are you sure that you weren't thinking zahs when you were thinking about parachute pants? No, I wasn't. Zahs are parachute pants. Like if you go so rogue. You're like, you're living, you're just living in a gym alone. That's zoo box. I think they would be comfortable, but I just don't think I could pull 'em off. We're gonna, we're gonna flip out over these more than the trip. Bell bottoms. Bell bottoms are, bell bottoms are kind of back already. This is our official number one male female. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So across the board to me, I think that's where we're going. That's where I'm going. Yeah. I think that they, they're complimentary. They make you look like you have a great foundation. They cover cankles. Yep. And um, it gives the illusion of not being a pushover. That's right. I've never, I've never toppled a person in ball bottoms 'cause I've never tried. We are very pro bell bottom and we're anti holed pants.
