In this episode of Sausage Boys, we dive into the art and anguish of pant-making, hometown shame, and the existential crisis that comes with dry crying. We riff on iconic pants throughout history, from Joey Green Eyes to Billy Eilish, and explore whether crying really is good for you. Also: what’s up with the yoke on jeans? And who in Hollywood is cannibal baiting? Whether it’s a nostalgic fashion deep-dive or just reflecting on the awkwardness of growing up on the North Shore, this ep is packed with hilarious tangents and oddball insights. Stick around for weird airport goodbyes, movie breakdowns, and the mystery of the ultimate pant.
