KEVIN GOT A NEW SWEATSHIRT AND IT'S REALLY COOL! Hear the riveting audio only description before your two favorite fellas talk about how people eat candy corn (according to the National Confectioners Association (who knew that was an actual organization, certainly not us)), Orkin Pest Infested Pops, Halloweendy's, Airheads flavored floss, the McRib Farewell Tour, Hype Horse Shoes, Chrissy Teigan's Cravings, Microsoft x Oreo Thins, Single and Fat, Gen Z soda, and more!

Alex and Kevin are back in action, doing what they do best: talking about the hottest design and branding stories from around the world.

Alex and Kevin welcome Madison Utendahl and Tori Baisden from Utendahl Creative: a Black founded, female led, anti-trend design studio who believes that stories are data with a soul. Madison, the Founder, and Tori, Partner and Creative Director, talk about meeting at the Museum of Ice Cream, starting a studio, and fundamentally changing the way creatives work. We also talk about their newest project Good Eat'n, a collaboration with GoPuff and Chris Paul.

Alex and Kevin coming at you from the coldest room in Greenpoint, and the only thing keeping them warm is their hot takes. The fellas discuss the Corn Kid, drinking beer through a hot dog straw, the protein infused canned hard seltzer, PSL SZN kickoff, the new 818 bottle, and more!

This week Alex and Kevin talk about the recession and the correlating trend that they consider to be a silver lining.

The fellas discuss Decoldest Crawford’s air conditioning commercial, Coca Cola Creation’s Dreamwave soda, Miller High Life’s Ice Cream Dive Bar, the Youtube Shorts Drive-thru, Collins’ Girl Scouts rebrand, and more.

Alex is in Hollywood eating deluxe salads by the pool. Linking, building and rubbing elbows with some of Los Angeles' hottest influencers, but being low-key sneaky aka not name dropping. Slight apologies for the audio quality on this bad boy, blame the Soho House wifi (how is it this bad, I thought people were supposed to work there?) Anyways, the fellas get into it this week talking about the hottest stories in branding; the resurrection of Choco Taco, Tabasco rebrand, Applebees’ Saucy Gloss, Tito’s Seltzer, Heinekicks, and more!
