After their Shark Tank appearance where the owners were cocky and fudged their numbers I can never support Birddogs.

[@Gooz-B]

ColbySmithDO I agree with their owners behavior and advertisements I can see myself supporting them.

[@The_Kavalier]

I didn't know about that, but I am not shocked by it. Thank you for calling out, looking into it now.

[@The_Kavalier]

Oof that was a rough watch. My satisfaction level is dipping. Thank you for letting me know

[@smi51040]

@The Kavalier you might have to update that graph lol Props for checking it out. Love your videos!

[@JuliaFehrenbach]

Silly, Colby. Don't you know Shark Tank is staged? Of course the numbers weren't fudged. Who would actually do that on national television. The editing team makes it look like that because the Sharks can't look stupid on TV and were insulted only 1% of equity. Stop being so naive.

[@mikeacord5329]

That thumbnail...mercy!!

[@KbearMcYumYums]

"It matches my custom terrycloth romper" wait WHAT

[@CoCo-dn1ip]

Hahah did the same thing

[@jasonrichardson8324]

Haha. Totally invalidates the guy’s opinion.

[@jacobc.8655]

I suddenly don’t want bird dogs anymore

[@BEASTPRINCE09]

Definitely a thumbs up for freeballing in this miserable summer weather! Great quality, as always, Jon.

[@The_Kavalier]

One and a half thumbs up 😜 thank you Josh!

[@deanchristensen4783]

They almost look like something you could wear around a pool or maybe relaxing in your backyard, Jon.

[@dustincunningham3246]

I’m a huge fan of their swimwear and gym short lines. That said, I ordered 3 pairs of their oxford shorts and they all started pilling on the right hip and front left quad after just a few weeks. I returned them today and the search for a decent casual short continues.

[@Sport214]

Came for the thumbnail.... stayed for the review. Lol. Well done.

[@billyethridge1558]

I'd give them a 4+ out of 5 star rating. I agree with you, the medium length is perfect for you. If the liner dries quickly, they could be used as a swimsuit and worn the rest of the day as shorts.

[@jon897]

The ads online are really annoying me after a few months, but a pair or two of these on the honeymoon might be perfect!

[@The_Kavalier]

Ha! They've beat you into submission for purchase... my 5:05 outfit was my honeymoon wear...

[@tadeuszlufik]

The marketing is intriguing; a little juvenile but still captivating. I have purchased one pair and expect to buy more. I find the product well made and comfortable and I also find them more appealing to wear and more flattering for those that have larger/thicker quads. I CANNOT speak to the Oxford style and in this video, that style wouldnt appeal to me either..but the Khaki style shorts I have in navy blue are really great.

[@linustm7642]

I love the dedication you put into this channel. Love the Chart btw! Keep up the great work!!

[@kyzersoze.musicology]

Are these the 6,7 or 9inche lengths?

[@swals786]

Who the hell frames a picture of their breakfast 😂

[@itsalexflores]

ron swanson

[@jimmymassey9928]

that pic is from parks and rec

[@benjaminmartinezjr110]

Yo I a parka and recreation does I get free eggs 😅

[@benjaminmartinezjr110]

Kinda rich for my blood , that’s a sack a weed , can’t do it ,

[@cyclexy]

Glad you did this review because there had not been a review yet on Birddogs. Birddogs appears to have more options than Chubbies on lined shorts. I think I am going to order the Indianapolis Jones shorts from Birddogs. They are navy blue and the logo is navy blue too so it doesn't stand out like their others do. I like to walk & or hike so I think they will be perfect for that. Another great review as always. Thanks! "Room enough for a summer squash"?! lol! What about a butternut squash? lol!

[@eliottkaram1092]

literally the most comfortable shorts ever

[@Ryan-rc3kq]

I disagree with your comment on wearing them to golf. I live in Georgia and play in a Monday night mens league. This is the only short I will wear for a round during the hot GA summer. I don’t think they look any different than any other golf shorts.

[@danlowry4132]

They look good on you!

[@pavlopyshnyy6845]

Hey Kavalier, I have a quick question. I'm an 18 year old student and planning on going to a back to basics shopping haul. Underwear I'm sticking with Mack Weldon. Socks however I'm torn between Mack Weldon and Bombas. Do you know how they compare? If not, how long would you think the Mack Weldon Silver last if worn everyday? Thanks in advance.

[@anthony5570]

I think it's the color. If they were black or a dark grey they would look less like boxer shorts.

[@jiml5842]

Would you do a review and comparison between some of the chino work pants that are designed for commando style? Birddogs and Woof clothing make a pair. Chubbies might as well and I’m sure there are a few out there. That would be so helpful

[@84GKAllDay]

Great review! I'm subscribing.

[@steverocksyo]

They look like amphibious swim trunks. Pockets are always a plus.

[@CarlMurawski]

Lol! Easter egg master.

[@EvilestMinion]

Carl Murawski what do you mean? what's hidden I didn't catch it

[@ricardoromo96]

Since they have an "underwear" liner, how often do you need to wash them?

[@petevphotography]

What length fit just above the knee? Are these the 6 or 7 inch?

[@tigergreg8]

They remind me of swimming trunks with belt loops. Look comfortable, but as you said, not for going to Whole Foods, but maybe Giant Eagle and Walmart. Haha. Belt loops with stretch pants seems odd to me, they need to eliminate them.

[@The_Kavalier]

I’d vote eliminate the stretch and keep belt loops... or something. Proposed video on these vs chubbies has my interest now. Short shorts showdown

[@bddale6529]

I go weak at the knees when you get your knife out

[@Gusfjr]

Another informative video. I do have to say that these shorts just don't compliment your body. Also, looks like they are always wrinkled. This would drive my OCD crazy and I would want to iron them all the time. Might be good shorts, but would not be for me.

[@The_Kavalier]

I think that is the oxford cotton giving it the constant wrinkled look, not sure about the other styles anti-wrinkle capabilities

[@Chicago48]

They were just on Shark Tank and the owners could have had a deal but their attitude was very elitist, and privileged.

[@APTX89]

LiS Wright If I were on shark tank it would be very unlikely I accept any offer. I would simply go on the show for publicity and marketing.

[@redatlanta3100]

lol

[@alwayseatinpotatos]

Not so much a fan underwear get old and wear out because there made of thin material / fabric . so because when the lining goes now ur out of a pair of shorts too, it's like loosing money what I double up and wear another pair of underwear or cut out the worn out lining I don't think it's for me plus I always hated swim trunks with that mesh lining when I was a kid .. I know there's no mesh in them but I just don't think there for me.

[@zackmuniz6941]

Do you put them in the dryer?

[@kabirshaikh]

They look like swim trunks.

[@nathanhaggerty3978]

Can someone tell me if these are comfortable for swimming and boating

[@Shazam_24]

Where is that polo from?

[@MrGameman12]

Did you call me chubby?! I thank you good sir

[@EPelcher]

No more thumbnails like that

[@Spadestr81]

The material looks like it crinkles easily.

[@agibson0826]

Can’t hide a stiffy in these shorts haha on the real! and when you hop in the pool, lake etc. They get a huge air pocket which sucks but they are super comfortable though.

[@reallyfijateperocomocono1131]

I’m bigger guy what are the sizes like that’s my issue with a lot of the problem I run into

[@soju1shotx]

What is the leg opening dimension?

[@matthewhelton3378]

Mine in the same color faded rlly bad just bought them

[@parkjunseo1967]

Do you have to wash these everyday

[@howardsutcliffe5304]

Where are they made?

[@toby43078]

unfortunately youd have to wash then after each use....too much washing..

[@tentpitchr]

Could they be worn as swim wear?

[@EthansGamers]

Jerry Pitchford I asked Birddogs that same question. According to Birddogs, yes.

[@dhimiterllambiri6935]

Can you do an unboxing on Rhone shorts?

[@tandemedge9433]

Looks like they are really prone to wrinkling...

[@Diamondmma]

Hi Guys we'd love you to try our Diamond mma Compressin jock! Where can we send a sample to? Thanks, Craig Diamond

[@HeathyRoidz]

Diamond MMA want to send one to me?

[@codysmith6274]

Why is there one picture of a plate of breakfast on the wall?

[@smitty16s]

Cody Smith it’s the same picture Ron Swanson has on his wall in “Parks and Recreation.”

[@benjaminmartinezjr110]

Yo bro u must really love breakfast to have on your , your right breakfast rules I guess

[@dphotos007]

Sorry they look like boxers. Not what I would wear. They are way too short and they are all wrinkled.

[@entertainmentparadise4964]

You should review aftcos

[@supercarnitas]

lmao.. that graph

[@LuisPerez-rj8ho]

6' 4" ???

[@Swermie]

Someone watches parks and rec.

[@prestontandy5699]

Not feeling these at all. Are they defined as gym shorts? Even worse. Gholf shorts? Definitely not. Whose the target market?

[@SigmaXcelsior]

Dat thumbnail tho

[@populigaudeamus6299]

I gave you a thumbs up for free balling

[@Alexphutchison]

So you gonna tell us which size and end seem you got?!

[@matthewgilmore4307]

M

[@matthewgilmore4307]

That's shown a couple times

[@danielhilliard3862]

Romper?…. Was thinking about getting these for ultra running but that just confirmed that these are infact not the shorts for me. They seem more suited to a limp dick, golf playing, romper wearing half man.

[@spookyxd1256]

I’m getting a lululemon vibe from this brand

[@The_Kavalier]

It’s a former Lululemon designer or something along those lines

[@VancouverVortex]

for that price it’s a bit nuts. And no offence but they look BAD on you. Like little boy shorts. Very uninspiring.

[@Alexisurdaddy]

Inseams are terrible idk why anyone would like them underwear is the best why are we soo lazy?!

[@bowmanj603]

What? You wear underwear WITH the liner on? Do you wear underwear in the shower too?

[@PoisonIvyLeague]

They look awful. The fabric looks like a polyester yet they’re so incredibly wrinkled.

[@pbkallday23]

Perfect for the strip club!!!!!!

[@shawntyree6870]

the marketing is repulsive

[@marc1047]

I was watching Sharktank on Netflix and I had to find it on KZbin just to say the owners are arrogant! Nothing special about this product.

[@giocortz5871]

Sharktank’s on Netflix? Last I checked it was on Hulu.

[@edwinedwards6796]

Silk underwear won't work for me. They're not breathable and causes a sweaty junk box. Horrible envention Disgusting to think about.

[@misterjones30044]

The elastic band is too Grandpa for me🏳️‍🌈

[@Air0Sparks]

That Romper tho

[@The_Kavalier]

😏

[@jacobnewman2316]

This company is a sham

[@cedriczebelle8723]

Wtf is “positioned against chubbies” 😂

[@yousefj6906]

Chubbies is another short company lol.

[@luxmunk]

Looks like a skirt.

[@Sig_716]

Romper? Ghey!

[@dme1016]

WTF is up with white guys & khakis? Jeez!!! Downtown, bunches of guys have on tan khakis & a blue dress shirt.
