11. And We're Biking ... To Sephora

After months of going dark online, due to the perpetual anxieties surrounding Covid-19  and the embarrassing loss of Hunter Harris’s episode file, the boys are finally back, masked up, and biking  ... to the infamous Sephora in Soho, treking across Manhattan Bridge and through Dime’s Square to get an inside look at how beauty retail operates during New York’s phase-three reopening. On their frivolous pilgrimage to acquire moisturizers and tinctures, the fellas pause to reflect on the spiraling mental gymnastics they’ve undergone to make sense of the moment, taking inventory of the emotional, economic and societal costs of the new normal. Despite all the depressing shit covered in this ep, Emilio takes you through the motions of copping a new chain at Chinatown’s infamous New Top while Evan explains the logistics of timing adult braces during a global pandemic. Tune in to the dudes’ on-the-go pod wherein they drink their way through multiple Pacificos and Tecates to sanely assess the financial damage that comes with an unemployment-funded skincare shopping spree while grabbling with the indefinite transformation of New York’s consumer economy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dewy-dudes/support
