Richard Rawlings is here to make sure you’re ready for adventure. How?

Kinja'd!!!

He’s here to supply you with what I’m sure are high quality socks. It seems fitting that I spotted these at a discount store.

Because when I think high quality socks, I think of over-produced reality TV shows starring obnoxious “car guys” who can’t drive a car in a straight line.

I’m sure the quality is exceptional!

For those looking for an actual sock recommendation, these are my winter favorites: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XFW6OU  I have two pairs, one fairly new and the other a decade old, and they are both comfy warm, and not excessively thick. On the other hand, you could nearly buy 15 pairs of the Gas Monkey socks for the price of one of mine, but I think quality trumps quantity here.

I actually passed on the gas monkey socks and bought some from Darn Tough. They had a pair on clearance for $6.

I have a hard time finding good socks for a size 14 so I grab them when I find them.

Yes, I can’t wait until his new show, a car-oriented rip off of Kitchen Nightmares, comes on.

They aren’t even like cool looking or unique at all. Just normal ass socks. Not even a logo.

Why. At least all the O.C.C., West Coast Choppers, and Foose merch tried to be something unique, or at least  something “ on brand.”

I can picture it now. He’s told the salmon is $14.99 a pound and counters by offering $3.00.

At first I honestly thought they were Dockers socks.

I think Darntough is overated. The pair I got last year is nearly dead. I am a lorpen fan.

Ah, I see that he’s reached the Mike Ditka phase of his fame and fortune - where he will put his name on literally ANYTHING for a check.

This seems like a logical next step. Rawlings already strikes me as being a pain in the ass.

I checked out of curiosity and Ditka has endorsed 54 companies. That list doesn’t include the wine, steak, sausage, and salsa companies that he owns either.

There’s a story about Ditka that, after the Bears won the Super Bowl, he was actively telling his players to avoid endorsements, telling them it would be a distraction.  Then, in turn, he sucked up all the endorsement money.

They talked about that in the article I read to find out how many endorsements he did.

I’d like to know what the weirdest endorsement offer that he actually turned down was. I mean he did preparation H, Levitra, and  a “male enhancement” clinic. What did it take for him to say not a chance?

I have some Lorpen ski socks. They seem ok, but I don’t love them.

I prefer smart wool for my ski socks, I have two pairs of Lorpen ski socks and  one pair is blown out.
