0:25.4 | Up ya beautiful bastards. Hope you've been a fantastic Thursday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. And actually, a quick note before we get started. Today at shopdefranco.com, we are having a surprise limited drop. The last time we did a drop of Beautiful Bastard gear, which, by the way, so many people bought that there's still orders going out. There are a bunch of you that said we want more options. And so that's what we're doing. Today we're releasing two brand new, oh my god, so comfy, color swamp, beautiful bastard hoodies, as well as the first ever and fantastic premium embroidered short sleeves. We've got the red on black and the white on harbor blue. They're also only |

0:33.7 | it is first come first serve. Yeah, I really wanted to sneak this one in for you guys because we have like a whole, |
