Goat Cologne

At 26:53 · chapter starts 25:30

Andrew mentions that the previous night a woman at a restaurant was wearing Bobby's cologne, which sparks the cologne segment. Andrew identifies Carlos's scent as Malin and Goetz Rum — too much goat, not enough Malin — and Bobby launches into his own routine: wrist spray, rub, under the shirt spray to get both skin and fabric, and then a taint application for ambient scent aura without direct taste contact. The hosts then pivot to Carlos's breath, which Bobby describes as dragon-like and medieval. The root cause is excavated: Carlos has been eating almost exclusively avocado toast and smoothies for an entire year, supplemented by tobacco vaping, with occasional McDonald's. Andrew and Bobby both agree this combination is the source of an aura that makes nearby people seek relief. Bobby offers Carlos a financial 'hygiene bump' and promises to supply Listerine strips before the road trip Thursday. Carlos largely absorbs the criticism while offering minimal resistance.

The Hygiene Intervention: Carlos's Dragon's Breath

He's a Rat! · Jun 1, 2026 Comedy

Bobby Lee has had enough. His tour manager Carlos (Fancy) vapes tobacco, barely eats, and has been on an avocado toast and smoothie diet for a year. Bobby calls him an ogre, a troll, and a dragon — then offers him a 'hygiene bump' financial incentive. Andrew's cologne tutorial and Bobby's taint-spray technique don't help matters.

Bobby Lee's Cologne Ritual

He's a Rat! · Jun 1, 2026 Comedy

Bobby Lee's cologne technique is unconventional: spray the wrists and rub, spray upward under the shirt to hit skin and fabric simultaneously, and — most notably — lift the sack and hit the taint. The reasoning is airtight: you want the aura, not the taste. Andrew approved. Carlos was unmoved.
