## Episode Summary

Its sure expensive to dress your entire body, but what if we don't buy clothes? Where does the clothes go if we don't wear them? Did you know clothes are flammable and really fun to wear? What if a weird kid picked out your clothes?

## Idea Details

* Idea: Faster Fashion
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: Drew, I wanna talk to you about something that is very important to me, and we were talking about you taking off your blouse a second ago, and I'm curious where do you get your blouses from and what kind of store do you use to get your blouses from? (Drew: "Uh Costco.") Co- Costco blouse? (Drew: "Mhm. That's where I get most of my clothes.") So that's - you're wearing a Kirkland blouse? (Drew: "Yeah.") OK. So, I mean, and when you go to Costco, uh I mean, d- you probably - you know, probably makes you feel great about yourself to get a nice new blouse from Costco. (Drew: "Yeah, it's always great to put on a new shirt or new pants or a new pair of shoes.") Blouse. (Drew: "Or a blouse, whatever. Whatever you wanna put on, if it feels great. A new hat. It's great!") Feels pretty good about yourself, right? To do that. But there's one - there's an issue happening uh in globe now. (Drew: "And what is the issue?") Uh, I mean, actually there's quite a few issues going on these days. But one of them is there - is the - they're - you know - I've - have you - so let's take the example of getting a blouse at Costco, what about if you wanted to get dinner on the way home from Costco, where - (Drew: "Well I would probably just grab a hot dog while I was there.") OK and would that take long to get a hot dog? (Drew: "Depends on how many - if it's -") Would it take as long as if you, say, went to The Keg and had a uh one of everything? (Drew: "No, no, of course - like a sit down meal?") If you went to The Keg and ordered one of everything from the menu? (Drew: "No, The Keg would take much longer.") Ex- and that's because it's called 'fast food', well guess what? There's something called 'fast fashion' now. (Drew: "Really?") Fast fashion. You know, people go to the runways and then they create their own runway, a robotic runway or maybe a underage labour runway of people producing fashion quickly in order to be purchased at your Costcos and your Forever 21s and your Primarks and then it - (Drew: \*belch\*) - encourages people to buy too much of the fashion and then they b- uh have too many clothes, and then this is the true cost of it, OK? (Drew: "OK. So it's not only the cost of the money.") No, there's a cost of the creation of the fast fashion. Uh, 'keyword of fa-' you're gonna have to read this. Out loud. Please. Y- (Drew: " 'Then, is fast fashion benefit? No!!! United State of America buys 20 million -' ") Billion. (Drew: " ' - garments a year, 68 items per person per year, 1 item per person per week. According to the EPA, 13.1 million tons of textile clothing are trashing every year, and only 15 - 2 - this is just 1.5 in 10.' This is just 1.5 in 10, Josiah!") '11.1 tons of clothing trown away each year!' (Drew: "That's a lot!") So that's all piling up, I mean, all this fast fashion is all piling up! You can't just - (Drew: "I have to say, I'm n- I'm glad I'm not the only one who's just throwing out all my clothes.") Don't pause this to make a little quip, all right? This is serious. 'Mind your waste, woo-woo-woo!' Also uhh spray paint. 'Just 1 pound of textiles emits more than 7 pounds of CO2. Textile waste creates pollution and wastes precious resources. The average t-shirt wastes 700 during manuf-' (Drew: "700 waters. 700 bottles of water.") 'Futhermore, the most serious problem is fast fashion companies exploit their workers. They require faster and cheaper -' I mean, we're gonna - that's - this is too - so this part about exploiting workers may be too big a problem for today, but I do have a solution for the fast uh fashion part. (Drew: "OK.") I can't hear yo- I'm waiting, trying to get you to hype me up or... (Drew: "Hype you up for what?") To tell you the idea, what the - you know. You wanna hear - (Drew: "Well what's your idea then?! What's your idea?!") Oh, there you go! There it is! Uh so I think, here's what I think, Drew, is I think that a lot of problems in this life are accused of being uh t- uh we need to take the thing and s- that's too f- slow and speed it up, or we need to take the thing that's too fast and slow it down and creates, you know, people s- wanna s- do some sh- fuckin shit - some fuckin bullshit like slow fashion fuckin garbage uh bullshit. What I think we need to do is I think it's time to take the thing that's fast and then just fix it by just tweaking it a little bit and creating Faster Fashion.
* Timetable: No timetable was given for Faster Fashion. Presumably, since all the clothes already exist, it will be implemented very soon.
* Idea details:
	+ Unsold clothes will not be burned under Faster Fashion.
	+ Every hour or two, a siren will go off, which will alert everyone in the world that they need to change their clothes. This will allow us to use up all the clothes in the world.
	+ Every day and night, everyone in the world will be responsible for changing into every piece of clothing that was made during that day and night.
	+ A truck will drive through the neighborhood every morning to provide the daily drop-off of all the new clothes for the day.
	+ There will also be crates that drop with really cool hats and cool accessories, which people can try to acquire but they may have to fight other people for them.
	+ There will be a designated neighborhood joker who picks your outfits for you out of the truck and out of the drop crates. This neighborhood joker will be a little boy, perhaps similar to Tavis The World Wide Boy.
	+ Each person in the world will get a permit and be responsible for burning their own clothes after changing out of them. They will be burned at the end of each week.
		- Note: It is estimated that everyone in the world will change outfits every 2 hours, meaning 12 outfits a day. Over the span of the week, this means changing into (and thus burning) 84 outfits per week.
		- Note: It is unclear why every person in the world would need a permit to burn their clothes when they could instead simply use the Globe Hole, which aimed to get rid of pollution by burning all garbage.
	+ After burning the clothes, each person will be given a Shop-Vac to vacuum up all the smoke, which will then be safely dispersed into the water somewhere. The water will then be safe for drinking or you could just pour it out since it might be smelly.
	+ While burning the clothes at the end of each week, everyone will be nude since their clothes will be in the pile. However, there will be no shame from doing this because changing in public will become so normalized after everyone doing it every 2 hours of every day.

## Devil Play

* Drew played devil by saying he worried about what happens to all the discarded outfits, since everybody is only wearing them once.
	+ Josiah revealed he had an answer to that question but momentarily put a pin in it. He later answered that each person would get a permit to burn all the outfits they change out of, with the fire at the end of each week. Since everyone will be changing outfits every 2 hours at the sound of the siren, this means 12 outfits a day per person, or 84 outfits a week per person.
	+ Drew agreed that this made sense.

	+ Josiah, as the woman:
		- "\*whispered\* Aw fuck. \*with a high affectation\* Yeah, one of your piece of shit lowly uh employees belched into my -"
	+ Drew:
		- "Why are you using a d- doing a different voice now? You weren't doing that voice before, you were just doing regular Josiah voice."
	+ Josiah, as Drew's manager:
		- "Yeah, we've gotten a lot of complaints about him, people say they can hear a fapping sound into the phone headset also when he's trying to sell them uh lamps."
	+ Josiah, as the woman:
		- "Well, I actually would like it if he had done that, but it's the belching that I don't like, it's a real turn off!"
	+ Josiah, as the manager:
		- "I'm so sorry, and we'll try to talk to him about his gastrointestinal issues with his belching. Uh I'm actually gonna see if I can get him on the horn right now, so-"
	+ Josiah, as the woman:

* "Well a lot of people don't realize that we are best friends and we are soul mates and we love each other very much and we never - we say cruel things because they're just doing a bit of a joke.

But somebody did go by my apartment and they shot my window with a BB gun!"
* [In response to Josiah saying he would drive by Drew's house with a real gun to 'finish the job'] "You know what, Josiah? I don't think you'd even be strong enough to hold up a gun.

* [On the topic of whether RP Josiah likes podcasts] "So you do. Do you like food? You said there's good and there's bad so you'd like *some* food. So you like some podcasts, *don't* you?"
* "Well I have a \*belch\* a great podcast for you to listen to."

* "I never jack off. I never jack off during my calls."
* " 'Then, is fast fashion benefit? No!!! United State of America buys 20 million garments a year, 68 items per person per year, 1 item per person per week.

* "I think it's a great idea to use all that clothes."
* [On the topic of a little boy named Ronald in the video they were watching] "Is this the real World Wide Boy? Is Tavis out?"
	+ Note: It is unclear what Drew meant by this since Tavis is a character portrayed by an actor who has been up-aged to 17 years old. Ronald could certainly be cast as the next Tavis since he appears to be younger than 17.
* "Burn the garbage bag too. So you get rid of it."
* "We're not gonna be washing as much clothes so there's gonna be more water in the oceans and in the lakes."
* "I mean, it's not so bad when you look at it - when you see a pile of clothes, a garbage bag, a Styrofoam plate, and a water bottle in a pile burning, and you see the amount of smoke that's generated. It's not *that* much."
	+ Note: This is in line with Drew's earlier idea, the Globe Hole, which aimed to reduce pollution by burning all the garbage. However, that idea involved burning all the garbage in the world in one place, rather than in individual fires in everyone in the world's backyards.

## Trivia

* This is the second idea of Josiah's to revolve around fashion, after Episode 49: Leftist Hypebeast.
* This episode has two notably different episode titles between its audio and video formats. The audio version is titled "Episode 57: Faster Fashion", while the video version is titled "Faster Fashion".
	+ Note: The title used for this Globe Hell Warning Wiki page was chosen for its greater degree of clarity.
	+ Note: There is some precedence for excluding the episode number from the episode title, as detailed below:
		- World Wide High School
		- Episode 9: World Wide Landlord was originally titled simply "World Wide Landlord" but was renamed to include the episode number.
		- Bus
		- Episode 19: World Wide Rock Festival was originally titled simply "World Wide Rock Festival" but was renamed to include the episode number.
		- Episode 55: World Wide T'rain, which excluded the episode number from the episode title of the video version.
