Cool In Real Life™ started from a conversation about returning to oneself. A much-needed and grounding conversation between friends morphed into ownership. The CIRL Podcast is a space where Alex Blvck & Court Cobain share their long-standing dynamic as friends, discuss their interests and personal experiences, as well as hold space for people they admire.
In this episode, we catch up like we always do — two friends sitting down to talk about what’s been going on in our lives and what’s been happening in the world. This episode is a mix of real-life updates, random thoughts, and current events we couldn’t ignore.
