  • Not Just About Rocking Golf Hats, Celebrity Encounters, Chasing Your Dreams
    Mar 12 2025

    In this delightfully chaotic episode of "We're Just So Cool," hosts Justin Rupple and Taylor Sokol are rocking their Dhudson swag and diving deep into their love for golf hats. Ever wondered why golf hats have that mysterious string? Maybe it involves sheep herders and Scotland— it's a yarn worth unraveling!

    The duo then shifts gears to share hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy tales of celebrity encounters. Justin recounts his awkward (but now legendary) meeting with Gerard Butler, where an impression request hilariously morphed into Shrek. And a deeper question: Do we seek selfies, or meaningful moments? They reflect on the impact of film and TV creators—how their works take on a life of their own, often in ways they never imagined.

    Join Justin and Taylor for an episode filled with laughs, thoughtful musings, and a reminder to do what you love and love what you do! 🎙️✨
