The hats they were talking about?

Adam got into a heated rant about companies that make those "shallow, creepy guy" hats. He got mad at Chris cause Chris had no idea what he was talking about. Adam said he'd kill himself if Chris represented any one of their listeners. Either I need to kill myself or Adam does cause I had no idea what he was talking about neither did my 21 y/o brother. It was about 15 minutes into the March 2nd show. Can someone show me a picture or something?

I couldn't find a picture either. It is a cheap hat with a long cloth strap instead of a plastic buckle. It hooks on like a baseball belt. They have short forehead areas too. they suck major league ass.

Wow, someone's googling skills suck ass (no offense). I had never seen this hat before either - just the super-cheap ones that don't even buckle, just have stretchable cloth. Anyway, found this on the first try.

Here's someone actually looking really bad in one.

Oh, how I loathe those hats. My googling skills are that of Engineer Chris if he was retarded, high on mushrooms, and had no hands/ feet.

I have one of those hats, but I've never worn it. Honestly I can't see how they can be any worse than any other baseball cap, since they all kinda suck to me. What's so bad about a little strap of cloth with metal on it? For that matter, what makes it worse than those plastic readjustible clip-the-nub-into-the-hole ones, or the nonadjustible ones? I just don't get it.

Laith, it's how they fit on your head. Baseball-baseball caps have that nice rounded dome. These are a softer (maybe even better) fabric, but because of that, they basically collapse into a cloth mound of wrinkles on top of your head. Also, like Drew said, the bill ends up being an extension of the lame non-dome of the top, forming a sloppy slope. Also, the "half-circle hole" Anderson was saying these caps share in common is simply the gap in the back of the hat of no fabric right above the strap.

forming a sloppy slope


Not to be confused with the SLIPPERY slope!


I had one of those hats, which I got as a promo-giveaway from Marlboro. The only time I ever wore it was as a stage costume, for a production in which I was playing a hick. Er...an ACTUAL hick, not a DUSTY THEhick.

Looks like Adam has cornered the 'scrunchie cap' market, lol.

95% of all hats these days have that belt buckle thing.

I knew all the hats that Adam, Drew, and Anderson were talking about, but what in the world was Chris talking about? A trucker hat? what is that?

The Trucker hats are oversized with an inane saying on the front and a mesh back with the adjustable snap. They were HUGE in the 70s. Now if you see someone wearing them they are either a trucker or have a tragic mental condition.

Or they are a hot girl who thinks it's "cute".

Which is just another way of saying "tragic mental condition", I guess.

Those "trucker hats" are also called "gimmie caps" in the Midwest. They are frequently emblazoned with the name of an agricultural firm and, presumably, given away to farmers. Hence the name.

Here's a good picture of the front of one.. notice the floppy consistancy of the whole hat. The front doesn't stand up in the proud way that good caps do.

Ugh.

Wearing any baseball cap that isn't fitted is just WRONG.
