Episode 243: Anatomy of a Conspiracy spirals from a joke about rogue podcasts to a heated clash over far-right fashion—one host accuses another of wearing a "Nazi shirt" (a Fred Perry thrift find), sparking mockery and a detour into skinhead personas. The conversation then shifts to their producer’s "Suit Supply" aesthetic, tangents on Beauty Bar nightclubs (NYC, Vegas, Austin), and a dismissive jab at the chain’s closure—all while blurring satire with real-world tensions.

Oh my god, we just had a rare, rare young Chomsky fake out.
Fake out?
He did.
He's like, you're rolling.
Oh, just kidding.
No, you're not.
Fake out.
A lot better than all those times that he tapes us without us knowing it.
And we accidentally say embarrassing or compromising information.
Yeah, that's the whole thing: he's the one that's actually running the entire blackmail ring.
Well, I mean, that's the thing is, I realize, Liz, check this out.
Why wouldn't they think it's the guy who controls the microphones?
Why would they think it's us?
My thing is this.
What if this whole time that we've just been talking to each other, having these candid, honest conversations with ourselves and sometimes with guests or friends?
What if somebody was recording us this entire time and releasing it like to the public?
Yeah, under like, I don't know, a podcast name or something.
But like without our consent?
Yeah, like, like, have you ever thought that maybe there's like a podcast out there called like the lefty dudes that like is just us talking?
Well, we would never call it that.
No, but like, what if we called it like what if we, what if I'm trying to think of stupid left-wing names, little rose that could, yeah, yeah, what, what if we called it red and roses or something?
Like, what if, what if there was a podcast out there called that, and it was just us talking?
God, that would be such a nightmare.
That would be so embarrassing.
Thank God it's not true.
Liz.
Hello.
Um, I don't want to like call you out or anything.
I'm not going to do Oatly, I promise.
No, no, I know you're not.
But I have to ask, why are you wearing a Nazi shirt?
What?
I'm not wearing an what?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
I don't know if you've heard of a little organization called the Proud Boys.
Oh, first of all, it's not a shirt, baby.
It's a dress.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
My bad.
I thought you were just wearing a long shirt like women do sometimes.
But I realize you don't really do that.
I don't do that.
You're not that kind of heroine.
Yeah.
No, it's a dress.
And second of all, I shan't let the Proud Boys, which is like, also, they've gone down.
Steal Fred Perry from us.
This isn't their colorway, let's be clear.
I'm not wearing a Nazi outfit, okay?
We just, I don't want to put that on the podcast.
I mean, it's, you know, it's not an outfit, but it is a Nazi dress.
You're the one that's wearing the full regalia.
Yes, it's cool for me to do it, okay?
Yes.
I got it at a thrift store.
It was my great uncle's.
I'm sorry.
It's Hugo Boss.
Are you mad that I'm wearing fucking designer now?
You don't like this?
Oh, I'm sorry for flexing on you.
My new character is a guy who calls Hugo Boss Ugo Boss.
Ugo Boss.
This makes it more Nazi.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
I'm Blaze.
My skinhead bud.
I met a Dana Croydon when I was down there to see the Cockney Rejects.
We're not doing that episode.
This is a Chelsea haircut.
My name is Brace.
And of course, we are joined by our mod producer, Young Chomsky.
In full suit supply.
I mean, the man is wearing.
The man.
The man.
It is all fun in games to call me wearing a Nazi outfit, but the second we suggest that Young Chomsky is wearing something from Suit Supply, the line has been crossed.
What is Suit Supply?
Wear the Right Suit!00:00:52
If I had to be like this, you couldn't sit down comfortably.
Like, you know, when you see The Rock in the tiniest suits?
Yeah, he's wearing them tight suits.
Yeah.
It's that butt direct to consumer.
I will say this: listeners out there, if you are a man, don't listen to what they tell you out there.
You need to wear a suit that is two sizes too small because it accentuates your body.
The most what women want to see when you walk out onto that dance floor at the beauty bar, they want to see your buttons.
Does it still exist?
Oh, yeah.
Does it exist here?
It was on 14th Street.
He doesn't know.
You don't know.
He doesn't do cooking.
Oh my God.
Different era.
I played a show at Beauty Bar in Las Vegas.
Yeah, there was a Beauty Bar in Las Vegas.
There's Beauty Bar in San Francisco, Beauty Bar, Austin, Beauty Bar, New York.
