Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham. I'm here with my co-host, Vic Mattis of the Washington

Free Beacon. There's a lot going on. We got

tariff news. We got deportation news from the universities. We got a Ukraine update and Randy

Weingarten back on the scene. And you know I can't resist talking about her and her effective

political messaging. But before we get to all of that, how's it going, Vic?

Hello, Mary Catherine. Well, I'm here. Is there something different about you? Yes. I'm feeling more manly these days. And the main reason is we, last episode I talked about, I was in

desperate need to get a new pair of jeans because the alternative is walking around casually

in khakis. And it's just is kind of, it's so uninspiring.

And khakis is the standard uniform in the District of Columbia, as you know, for, you know,

everyone who works in town. Right. The khakis. And there was a khaki. I'm not a khaki fan in general.

You know what? I remember the khaki moment from gap and it was jump jive and wail

the commercial and they would show classic sort of movie stars and singers like nat king cole or whoever

wearing khakis and they wore khakis or james dean so that's what khakis and we just destroyed

the moment and we don't look like James Dean or Nat King Cole so in any

I feel like I feel like khakis were a very like Chandler Bing look yes along with like five

layers like really blousey khakis yeah and five layers so you weren't looking for blousey

khakis I was circa 1998 you just feel like and then you have to actually dress more formal

because you can't actually do a t-shirt in khakis.

It's kind of weird looking.

So I have to get jeans.

And I want to thank all of our listeners to getting hammered who gave me a ton of suggestions, a ton.
