Spacemen, have you ever given much thought to how you smell? Or wondered if others have given much thought about the way you smell? Do you wear cologne? Too much? Wrong scent? Is your lady friend impressed? Does it matter?
Today, Matt, Mike, and Rob tackle smell. Matt got all smelled up for the show and really impressed us. Does he ever not? But maybe, we're just impressed with Matt and he just feels more confident when he smells of musk and manliness. So spritz on the ol' Drakkar Noir and listen in.
