Welcome back to retail therapy. My name's Will. As always, got Barrett with me. Barrett, how are you today?

I'm well. I'm well, thank you.

How about this August that we're getting?

Not just lead off like a bunch of boring weather small talk,

but this is a fashion podcast and as our guest today knows,

it's all about layering, and it was 79 degrees yesterday.

Yeah.

Which is absolutely unheard of in Austin, Texas in August. I don't know what is happening. I feel like you today. I have, I had, I just have tabs open, but it's, it's really like, I got carts going right now with fall stuff that I won't be able to wear for a while. I'm worried that it's just like just tricking me and we're going to get second summer in late September. It's going

to be like 105. You're getting ahead of yourself in August. But like this, it's been such a crazy

mild August that I am like, stop. I'm standing in my second closet just like looking at all my

lightweight jackets already. Yeah. I have numerous lightweight jackets in carts as we speak.

Yeah. So I don't know. I'm feeling good. I hate to tell you, Barrett, that this weekend is going to be not in the 90s. I mean, Sunday, I think it's a high of 89. So we are getting a little cold spell. Dude, I'm putting on, I don't know, I'm putting on long sleeves. I'm doing it. I'm wearing a chore coat to dinner on Saturday. Yeah, so yeah, that's what I got.

Okay. sleeves. I'm doing it. I'm wearing a chore coat to dinner on Saturday. Uh, yeah. So, yeah,

that's what I got. Okay. Yeah. Do you want to introduce our guest? I was told you how to introduce

our guest. Uh, he's back for his second appearance on the podcast. Yes. Joining a very special

club. I was, I was not able to join for the first one. So I'm very excited to be here.

But we're very pleased to welcome every other Thursdays, Ethan Glenn, back to the podcast. What's up, Ethan? Hello, thank you. I'm excited to be back. It's been quite some time, but it's been, yes, it's been almost two years. I went back and, uh, and, and re-listen to the, to the pod from, what were you doing? Well, you kept referencing that I had like a ton of work going on at, at, at Howler, because it was like November, like around holiday. Okay. But I, I don't, I don't remember why I had to, I, I don't know. Well, whenever I book guests, it's possible that that was it. I usually do it to, like, explore my like interest in life like I'll get like a grateful dead guest or something or like

yeah right right been I usually do it to like explore my like interest in life.

Like I'll get like a grateful dead guest or something or like. Yeah.

Right.

Right.

And this was, that was one where Barrett was like clearly bombed.
