448. - Chris & Jason

All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place. All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcast. or watch on YouTube. He's literally pouring a pint. All right, how long gone? We're here. It's show day. Our brains are a little scrambled from back to back. Press appointments thanks to our friends at Purple PR. We were outside this morning. Our golden handcuffs of Purple PR. We absolutely love the press. We absolutely love the press. We've been locked in the standard London talking about ourselves for 48 hours straight. All I've seen is rain from a six-floor window. But I've had a pretty good time, I have to say. Everybody's been quite pleasant. It's hard to complain about. different people who are nice taking nice photos of you and then asking you questions about your success it's true even if you are tired i mean the only time i've left this hotel twice and both times it's to go to dinner and then go outside and be like and then go home i mean i um and then i watch big bang theory all day turn on the tape actually last night i was very blessed because as i was flipping through the the british channels past you know Shows I don't recognize. I believe our friends over at ITV were airing below deck, thank God. So it was like being at home. That's a saucy little program. I was cuddled up in the bed here at the Standard. I had my large Fiji water next to me. I had Bravo on the screen. It's like home with better accents and worse weather. Better accents, worse weather.

And no ball and chain nagging you. Am I right, fellas? Fellas! I didn't get to crack a Mexican lager. Or ladies. Ladies can have balls and chains, too. I think ladies actually have more balls and chains. That's a whole other podcast, brother. But yeah, it's been a doozy of a trip so far. And finally we get to leave the hotel tonight to touch the stage at [redacted address]. And I feel like we're relatively... The only Carlos I've ever met in London. Oddly enough. Really? The second Carlos I met after I did one bump with the bass player of Interpol in 2005. Yeah, that's right. We're going to be doing a live podcast in a multi-purpose event space retail. It's beautiful. I've been. It's a multi-floor townhouse. A multi-floor townhouse? Yeah, literally. I've been before to do... Look around. Like where the queen lives? I would say it's a little smaller than that. Less corgis, I believe. Rest in pieces. Am I right, fellas? I believe, but I'm not totally sure. I'm having a British water. It's called Buxton. And it says, the funny thing is, it's one liter. And since they call Flatwater still here, it literally says still ill because one liter is just an I and an L. Bro, hold on. Do you think that's where it comes from? I drink still ill. Are you playing some more? Is there some more on the playlist tonight? Yeah, of course. And also, this is the last where I'm just dragging material out of reading a water bottle, but on the American water bottle, it'll show the nutritional information where it shows you all the good and bad things inside of a product. Instead of nutritional information here, it's called typical analyses. I mean, that's cooler. Much cooler. Much cooler. It's a little more vague, which is odd because the English invented English. But who am I to judge? When you look at it like that, it really is eye-opening. Yeah, I was cuddled up last night watching the best show on television. Jason was able to leave the hotel, I believe, to have a meal that kind of... I took my bird out for a belated B-Day at Braun.

I didn't mean for that to be all Bs. But I feel like some stuff happened that we talked about a little bit this morning when I was so little bleary-eyed when I was in the green floor standard gym at 6 a.m. with the other freaks. I mean, I don't – I feel bad. I mean, I guess whatever. We're already here now. You mean about – Well, it's your fault for mentioning the restaurant's name. I was saying we don't have to do that. Dumbass. That's on you. I literally said before we started, we don't have to mention the restaurant's name. You were like, okay. Well, our friends over at... You can bleep it out. I don't have time to bleep. We're past it. Okay. I know, but I mean... I mean, look, I don't give a shit. I don't go to restaurants. I know you don't care. I mean, it's a tough thing to go to a restaurant and send a dish back in a respectful way. No, I think that's something actually interesting is because I would never send a dish back. I would rather not eat it or choke it down. I don't know why. I know people think I'm a monster, but I couldn't do it. Who's the real monster now? Well, obviously you, but I think that there's something to be said about someone that has your knowledge of the space being able to do it in a way that feels a little better than me who comes off. If I were to do it, it would just be like... the asshole at table 12 said this didn't taste good. I don't know if I have the vocabulary and maybe the... I don't know. I just don't know what I could say to ease that blow. I think it's a difference between did this dish not end up being what you were hoping it was going to be versus was there an error on their part that made you not able to enjoy the dish? And if so, then i think it's fair game i think it's fair game too i think it's still like a but it's a hurdle that most people are not able to overcome yeah i was gonna say it's still a situation where it's like you have to like you even knowing the difference between those two things you know what i mean like this is a mistake versus i just don't like it i don't know if i could even tell depending on what it is you know what i mean like i don't know if i could tell well and also another preface which is something that's important about

about honesty is when when everything is great then you have no idea whether or not it actually is great like you have to say you have to show somebody like this was good this was bad just so you have a barometer or you have a spectrum of like well you're being honest about this because you were being honest about that when you're just like oh it all sucked or like everything was great it was so awesome then you're like Are you lying to me or not? I would say nine times out of ten, both of those statements are not true. Yeah, you have to reveal the good and the bad so the person knows that they can trust you as an honest person. That's why I prefer to go to restaurants that are just kind of mid. That way that neither of those things have to be discussed at all. And mid feels even more honest. So you walk into Nando's and they're like, we made some pretty bad food and you probably thought it was okay, right? And you're like, yeah. That's the contract I have with the dining establishment. So now the issues that you had last night, I know one was texture-based. Yeah. And you said that the flavors were immaculate, but the texture threw you off to the point where it was tough to enjoy. It was a chicken liver pate, which is risky business any way you slice it because it can be a polarizing dish. But they said the way they did it involved dehydrating the liver, I believe, and then reconstituting it with red wine, if I am not mistaken, which sounds like an interesting idea. But I think it yielded a final product that had an off-putting mouthfeel, as well as the temperature being a little too cold. This is what I was asking earlier. sheltered life i just assumed it to be room temp it's a room tempi so i was right that's okay i'm pretty proud of myself for guessing usually room temp um you know it can have a little chill to it but you don't want it to be cold no no no but it was odd because maybe you know i like the idea of playing around with temperatures and textures that for dessert we had a rice pudding that kind of looked like a cold bowl of porridge maybe with some some rhubarb on there and

To our delight, it was pleasantly warm and one of the best dishes I've had in a while. Really? Carolyn and I were floored by rice pudding. I know that you love to hang out at Nolita Dirtbag's favorite, Rice to Riches, in Soho. So I'm surprised that this kind of topped that. The rice pudding in London, it's not for money laundering the way Rice to Riches is. So you're saying you have a problem with money laundering. No, just when the Saudis do it in my homeland. Okay, so you're saying if the rice pudding is good, then money laundering is fine, but if the rice pudding is bad, then we're taking a look under the counter. Yeah, I mean, it's their fault. I hate to look under the hood, but you made me do it. You know, it's like if I'm a good police officer and you run a stop sign right in front of me, it's like... on principle i don't want to pull you over but i got no no i know what you mean like i don't want to do this who could do who can handle this much paperwork for such a small offense sure but you had the gonads to roll the stop sign in front of me yeah so i'm gonna have to light you up yes so i'm lighting them up a little bit and and they were i was obviously very apologetic and our server who was lovely said you know you're not the first person to mention something like this it is a little bit of an experimental preparation that's not for everyone no hard feelings blah blah blah And I tipped, like, 50% on the bill. Like, I made sure to give him a nice big tip, which tipping doesn't happen here in Europe at all. Tipping doesn't happen here, you mean, in TJ's life? No, in London town, in Europe. No, I know, I know. Well, in my life, too. The thought of you tipping 50% anywhere is obviously only because you had such guilt. Well, let's say 40. Okay. The server's going to call in. Actually, let's do the math here. All right, so a 40% tip on a meal where you sent two dishes back with the rice pudding knocked your socks off. Do you think this was a tip riddled with guilt? Do you think that it would have been a normal tip and you doubled it? It was half guilt and half I loved our server as well as the person who seemed to be...

Running the show, a GM or a floor manager. It was a good experience overall. I think his name was Ian. I think it was a guy called Ian. So it was a good experience overall. Oh, a beautiful experience. And then the other dish, it was like a braised ox cheek, and it was served with a butter knife, which is sort of like this. That's alluding. They're assuming that it's so tender. It's going to be falling off the cheekbone. You're cutting through it like a warm butter. Yeah, like when you get a braised short rib or an asabuco or something like that where it's so tender and braised. What is asabuco, actually? I don't know. It's like a shank bone, like a veal shank or a lamb shank bone. So it's a particular kind of shank bone. It can be from a different animal. I guess. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I think maybe it is just like a beef shank. Okay, okay, okay. It's a part of the femur where it's a little bit more of a tougher chunk of meat. Sorry, I don't mean to put you on the spot. A lot of tendons, but it requires a slow cooker. Okay, good. Half of it was very good, and you were able to cut it with a knife, and the flavor was amazing. Carolyn said it was very similar to the flavors of pho. There's some charred onion or shallot mixed in with some beautiful watercress. The Brits love cress, and as do I. It was a really delicious dish, but then kind of the center of it was you couldn't use that butter knife. You needed something more like a scalpel. But does that mean, did the flavor not... was it not as good as well or was it more just like i need a different knife it was yeah yeah the flavor was sensational it was just sometimes you get a bad braise and i told the server there and every everyone that worked there was like uh like knew a lot about food and seemed to cook themselves and they knew a lot about everything they're very well informed and i was like look i get it sometimes i get the last time i braised i had a bad braise

So you're saying... And then my server was like, the last time I braised, it was a great braise, but the time before was a bad braise. She said that. Okay, so you're saying that you were able to relate with the staff over braising issues. That's right. That all of us who braise could stumble upon a good braise or a bad braise, depending on the day of the week. Yeah, and it's not necessarily the fault of the chef. It could be the fault of the oxen where this cheek come from. They had too much buckle fat removed from the cheek. I understand. And you need some fat in there. I assumed we were talking about the other ones. You know what I'm saying? Like clap those. Oh, Christopher. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm so uneducated when it comes to food. Wrong. Wrong. Well, I'm glad that you recovered and that you're able to speak about it. And you seem like you've come to terms with the fact that you were able to kind of. uh, buy off the restaurant with a tip so that you've kind of, uh, you're living guilt free. Well, I mean, I don't really feel guilt in, in sending a dish back as long as you have a good reason. I don't think you should feel guilty. I just think for some reason that is a bridge too far for me. And also it was so awesome because at the end, like we went to St. John and I was like, Oh, hi Jason for seven, 7 PM. And then, and the guy was like, Oh, Stuart. And I was like, oh, you're on top of it. You didn't even have to look at the iPad. And he's like, I listened to the podcast. And you were there. And that was the first person that we saw once we entered London, checked into our hotel, rocked up to dinner after hitting the tube in the channel. And it was the first face that you spoke to was somebody that knew you. Yeah, that's great. I noticed that, but I didn't notice any of that reflected on the bill. First round of bubbles on them, Chris. Okay, well, I didn't have any of that, so I'm not really... The fact that the Madelins were full charge is interesting. I think your water with gas may have been removed from the check, don't worry. I didn't have any water with gas either, so I don't know what happened here. I'm feeling slighted once again. The God is out to get me in this fucking... It's like dating a drug dealer when you're sober. What's the fucking point?

I mean, he's pretty hot, but, I mean, it was kind of a free Coke thing. Do you want anything for the weekend? You're like, no, man, I don't eat. And then after we finished our lovely meal, and it was a really lovely meal, really, really cute restaurant, great mood lighting, amazing wines. Had you been before or no? Never been before. Oh, I thought you'd been before. It came highly recommended from a bunch of people. Claire Patak was one of them. Really cute neighborhood spot. They said Alexa has her flat right around the corner. She pops by. Really good, but one of those things where they were excited to show us wines. They'll bring three bottles over, tell a story. God, nothing is more annoying than that. There's a high low in the media. Nothing is more annoying than that. It was so nice. And at the end, he was like, hey, just to let you know, we took the stuff off the bill that you had an issue with and comp some wine because you have a very lovely podcast. I just wanted to say thank you for coming in. And just so nice. Which is why I do feel bad mentioning the name. But if you are in London, go to Braun. It is quite good and quite enjoyable and special. Well, I went to one of my favorite old school, one of the, like when I came to London for the first time, I went to this restaurant that's called Mildred's in Soho. It's like an old school, kind of like 90s vegetarian restaurant. I noticed they had one here close to the hotel, so I went there today for lunch. Nothing was taken off the bill. No one said they loved the podcast. Down there at Mildred's, they didn't know you? No, I went to Mildred's and they didn't know me. But I did have a lovely noodles with some mushrooms and tempeh. It was delicious. I'm having a culinary experience in London as well. Jason, it's not just you. You know what I had for lunch? This beer. Well, beer is luckily filling. It is. And I know that you're trying to get... I had fruit for breakfast. Beer for lunch. For dinner, I will, I guess, have trepast canapes. I would imagine. I mean, we could order you a couple of slices up to the after party when you're on the decks. Slices of what? I'm sure we could get Domino's. God damn it. Oh, there's Burger King right across the way, as you know.

Yeah, that's exactly what I need before a marathon, DJ said, is a fucking whopper. Some chicken fries. No, I think it should be during. I think during. I'm saying not before. I think before would be a mistake. Dear God. I'm going to wipe my chicken fry grease on the Valentino. But it was weird. It was so funny when we were at dinner at Braun. The environment was so warm and relaxing. And it reminded me of when, the last time I was in Italy, Carolyn and I went to Sicily, and we were in Catania the last night because we were flying back home. Which, I thought, that sounds like an ice skater. You're saying that's a city. Catania? Yeah. Catania's Sicily? Catania has an amazing triple axel. She actually competed for Russia last year. She's Slovenia's star skater. She's been kind of bubbling in the underground for years, but she finally broke through and made the team this year. Catania, she may have been trafficked. But we're in Catania. We're eating in this beef place. Like in this part of... Like a beef only or just beef forward? Very beef forward. Like somewhere between a steakhouse and like a Sicilian... I don't know. Like they really covet... beef in certain parts of italy like florence like the steak florentine okay sure they're really proud of their specific beef and the quality of it and the same over here in in catania you're saying that it's like they grow it they cook it they sell it yeah it's kind of like the italian wagyu beef or kobe beef or whatever you know like in america it's like snake river farms beef And you're like, oh, that sounds good. Of course, no. Snake River is one of the best. If the cows live next to snakes in a river, oh, it's going to taste so yummy, yummy. That's a recipe for success. And then you go into the store and look at it, and you're like, oh, this marbling is delicious. The marbles all the way through it. Every bite's going to be yummy. But we were in this restaurant, and they're dry aging the beef in the refrigerators.

At the dining table. It's a whole thing. It's funky and stinky. And we're eating it, but it was just the two of us eating dinner at like 5.30 p.m. And this is in Italy. This is in Sicilia. In Sicily. And we had our super early flight, so we had an early dinner. And it was just the two of us in this restaurant. And we're just drinking like cheap table wine and eating a steak. And for some reason, we just had, it's like this weird emotional barrier breaks down. And I feel like I'm on the verge of crying. And I feel like opening up about all this stuff. And the same thing happened last night. Bro, are you good? Is this what happens when you have an accidental tree talks? Damn, that is one through line that one should be considering. You got to keep smoking to keep those emotions inside, bro. Because if I'm your chick and you start crying at the beef restaurant, I'm going to be... I'm going to be worried about you. This motherfucker crying at the beef shack. No, I mean, I'm saying. What do you think it is? Is it the emotional release of the food or the environment? Well, you may run from emotions, whereas I run to it. Like O.J. Simpson. I don't run from emotions. I'm O.J. Simpson on the field. You're O.J. Simpson in the Bronco. I see two people, two nose guards coming at me. I go run straight through them, knock them out, hit them with the straight arm, the stiff arm.

Because we do this podcast three times a week and that's a sweet spot. How many times do they do? Three times a week.

Jason, for the listeners at home, Jason's laying on a couch but also trying to do the Heisman Trophy pose. You look pretty good. Yeah, I get Heisman horizontal, bitch. I call this one the horizontal Heisman. Hit it from the bike and the side. Okay, so... But there's something about, like, just my girlfriend and I, fiance and I, talking, drinking wine, you know, strangers in a strange, faraway land. Sure. You know, it's 5 a.m. where we live. You know, the time zones are all different. The sleep schedule is different. It's like this perfect storm of ingredients that happens to where... We just start talking about family and life and childhood and our relationships with our mother and father or whatever. You think you know somebody, guys. You think you know this is my business. We're connected financially. This kind of stuff scares me because it makes me think you're a little bit less on the rails than I once thought. As a person who's invested in your success and career, I don't know if you should be sharing that you're kind of unstable. Oh, I don't think I'm unstable. So you're saying I'm off the rails, which would maybe dictate that I'm a train that's driving on a dirt road instead of a track. But I'm saying I've taken a different railroad track that your third eye is unable to see or navigate to. You know when you're at the fork in the road meme where you can go left or even exit? Yeah, yeah, yeah. In your mind, there is no exit.

And in my mind, I'm like, I have the option of going this way or that way. You don't even have the option. You're in the carpool lane, and there's a police officer behind you. If you merge out of the carpool lane over a double yellow. He's lighting me up. I don't. No, no, sure, that's fine. I just don't. I just don't. I guess when I'm often in similar situations to you, and all I can think about is this food is mid. where's the gym what time does my entry level elementary emotions i understand yeah exactly that's what i'm dealing with so you're saying hold on but you're saying you're saying this you just painted this picture of you crying in italy over a plate of beef and now you're saying you had a similar feeling last night here in london But this was obviously a more sophisticated kind of like dining experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because in Sicily, it was just the two of us in an empty restaurant. And there was something so poetic about that. It's like that Aziz Ansari show. I get it. You mean nobody watched it? I mean, no one was there to watch it? No, people watched that show. Wait, what show? It's not a stand-up special. The show where they're in Italy with Warheim. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Modern Romance? Something like that? Yeah, that's the book. I don't fucking know. Yeah, I love that, like, his life's work and the best thing he's done is, like, that one time you and Warheim big guy in Little Carr, remember that? I mean, honestly, that was pretty funny. It's like calling Schindler's List, like that one movie about the one guy that did the bad thing. Oh, no, it's the movie about the bad stuff. It's the bad movie, but it was good. Movie good, though. Great movie. So you're saying that you're saying. But, yeah, there's something of, I don't know what it is. I mean, but just when her and I are in this faraway land and we're drinking a little bit of wine. And you have a different conversation than you normally have at home. The world's ills are not beating down your door in the same way they might be over there in Glendale. The tax man's not there. The property tax man's not there. Don't get me sorry. And also the gas bill this month in Glendale. It's through the roof. They warned us. It's so high. So you're saying you left your ills and worries back in Los Angeles. And when you're in London and you're at dinner and you're maybe a little bit.

Groggy and foggy from the jet lag. I'm groggy and foggy. Your emotions begin to erupt in ways they might not normally. Yeah. On the good side of things, because there's a lot of wildly oscillating emotions, good and bad. Oscillating wildly, you say? I don't know what you're talking about. You're like, wow, this is crazy. I'm in London. I'm at this cool restaurant that's really sick. And this guy is showing me these rare wines. And the distributor of these rare wines is sitting at the next table over. And you've got to try this. It's made out of these old figs and this prune thing and blah, blah, blah. So you've got two white guys that won't shut up. That's actually the name of this podcast. How long gone? Two white guys that won't shut up. So there's like all these good, cool things happening that are exciting. But then I'm also feeling vulnerable because you and I love to be at home with our safe space. I love to be in my house where everything that I need is there. I can go to my Whole Foods and my gym and all the stuff I need is I don't have to think about it. And all of that combination of those good and bad things happening sort of break down the walls. Another great, wow. Jason's really on his shit. Break down the walls! They sort of break down my walls in a different way that I'm normally used to breaking down, and the waterworks come on. It's like when you're watching Sex and the City Abu Dhabi on the airplane, and you're like, I know I've seen this 17 times. You shouldn't do this to me, but it does. But here I go. That's interesting. Maybe I'll try that on Saturday when I'm walking into Selfridges and the Smiths comes on. Maybe I'll feel the same kind of thing. Fuck Selfridges. Matchisfashion.com. Maybe I'll feel the same kind of emotions. I don't know if that, I know what you mean though. I think traveling, that's the whole point. That's what it's supposed to do to some extent. I don't, that doesn't happen to me. But once again, I think this could have to do with what I'm consuming versus what you're consuming. That's right. You know? Yeah. You're having the rocket salad and water. Yeah. I don't think that's going to really bust me open. It's not going to bust you wide open. The way that the Heisman might, but I mean.

This is what I'm left to deal with. It's okay. It's okay. But you also mustn't give up on trying to find a way to bust a wide open. I would say I'm open to having one of those experiences. It's good. It's a good bonding. Not one of those experiences. No, no. Do it with your chick. Not me. I wanted to talk about some stories that have been happening in the homeland while we've been gone. Okay. Some stateside news? Some stateside news. I mean, just a few things that I've seen going on. One, I sent you right before, but there's photos now out there showing not friend of the show, Eric Andre, in a beachside embrace. A beachside embrace. With... Emily Ratajkowski. They seem to be kissing. Yeah, I'm looking at this pic now. He's shirtless. Luckily, it's a good angle for him. Well, yeah, he knew to hide behind the chaise lounge to cover up that man titty. He put the book in the right place. So Ratajkowski seems to be wearing a Green Bay Packers gardening hat. She's just a regular down-to-earth chick. And he is wearing nothing. Eric Andre, you son of a bitch, man. Good for you. Good for fucking you. Speaking of emotions, I think that we've gone from anger and disdain to now like, all right, you know what? You take this one, bro. Because people are quick to remind us that he also dated... rosario dawson and that is rosario dawson bad as hell it's it's so he does have a more of a track record um because you know radikowski was checking for that yeah he's he's been vetted yeah if he if he was if his whole track record was fucking chicks from groundlings i don't i don't think yeah it's like you go you go to the bentley dealership and you're like i'd like to test drive that silver spur over there and you're like

You know how to handle it? They look out, they peer out, and they see your Civic in the parking lot. If there's a Rollie in the parking lot instead of a Honda Civic, they'll be like, all right, well, you know how to. You've been down this road before. You know how to handle a thoroughbred. You know how to handle a thoroughbred. I mean, what interests me is what Eric Andre brings to the table. His hero feature has to be sense of humor, right? Yeah, I mean, she might even have more money than him. Possibly. Oh, for sure. I don't know. He might have some low-key income streams. We don't know. He does. I mean, yeah, he's definitely... He's done well. He's done well. He has money. I've been to his crib. It's nice. It's in a good neighborhood. He's doing just fine. It's in a good neighborhood. You've been to Echo Park. So, does he have a pool? I don't know. I don't remember a pool. I remember a good view. This was a few years ago. No pool? He could have changed house. He could have upgraded to the pool. He could have moved house. But an obviously sense of humor can take you quite far in the world of having sex with people. Yeah, look at you. You'd be a virgin if you weren't funny. Well, that's what I'm saying. Look at me. I look better than Eric Andre. We can all agree. Eric Andre would agree with that. He would agree with it because he knows that being self-deprecated will get him even more pussy. See? Think about that. Damn. So it's basically like because the world, it's like one chromosome off. Like the world of self-deprecation versus the world of just like, I don't know, being deprecated. Like there's some, it's like one little switch that you turn. to to turn it on and he has that gift yeah because there's so many people who are as funny as he is who look as good i mean i don't think the guy is funny at all that i've never seen him be funny one time i mean obviously he is but people like him i was i went to see him play live at the echoplex it was a long time ago when he was doing his like the eric andre show yeah on tv truly is there's some utterly hilarious moments like

insanity level absurd shit where i have to hand it off to it's not my brand it's absolutely not your brand it's not even my brand but i saw him play live and when he played live it was gg allen level theatrics like the energy he puts into it the devotion how much he sacrifices his body and mind to put on a good show on the stage at the echoplex it was the sickest thing i mean truly hands so like they're like eric andre and the crowd's laughing it's like a a venue with maybe like 600 people in it, standing room only, and he runs out of the back door. I've told this story before, probably. And he goes by the merch booth. He's selling his own merch, rips all the merch booth down, smashes the table, destroys all of his merch, runs to the back of the venue where there's a bar. The entire length of the wall, the back of the venue is a bar. Arm on the bar. knocks slides over and knocks over every single drink on the bar like when people are about to have sex in an office and you move all the papers out of the way runs through the crowd pushing women on the floor smashing everyone's drink in their hands smashing it on the ground running through the middle of the crowd jumping on stage and then just like pouring gallons of milk on the heads of people like It was pure destruction, and I loved it. See, I don't think that's funny. How does that get you, Emily Ratajkowski? That's a great question. I think that's just kind of stupid. I mean, I appreciate the commitment, but if I pay $30 to Eric Andre and he pours milk on me, I'm going to punch him in the face. But his fans want that, you know? Well, and that says a lot about his fans. The same way if you're a G.G. Allen fan or you go to see some black metal band and they're like, all right, now I'm going to pull out a live pig on stage. Sure. I'm going to shoot him in the head with a shotgun and then pour his blood on you. I would argue that that... They're like, yes, this is great. But that's what you... That's the contract you've entered into when you go see Gigi Allen. When you go see a comedian, unless it's fucking... Unless it's fucking... What's his name? Gallagher? Unless it's R.I.P. Gallagher. Or Carrot Top. Yo, Gallagher, he's a blueprint, though. For real. For real, for real? That's OG. That's big bro. Yo, ump. R.I.P., ump. Do you think Gallagher's grave has a watermelon on it right now, just because? At all times?

If it doesn't, we should go put one on. I wonder where he's buried. Do you think he's buried in L.A.? Milwaukee or some shit? I feel like he's buried outside of Vegas somewhere. There's the Jim Morrison grave where people put stuff there, right? Most graves. I mean, a lot of graves. Yeah, but certain specific graves have certain specific things. Sure. There's that one, I think it's in France or something, where... There's a guy where it's like his body laying down and women will often hop on top and straddle his penis area and take a photo of it or simulate sex with this grave. That's normal, right, guys? It's like what people do there. Yeah, no, you're right. I'm sure Gallagher, if there's not always a watermelon there, I imagine it has to be weather-related. The watermelon will not survive long enough. Especially if it's organic. If you were going to take a watermelon to Gallagher's grave, are you going full? Are you going cut? Are you going sliced, cubed? You're going to go full. I agree. He ain't getting that Japanese square one. That one cost me 100 quid. I think for Gallagher, that's what I would want to do. You are such a fan. You know what would be nice, Jason? If we went to Gallagher's grave and we kind of... ceremoniously slice the watermelon in front of him. Slice it or smash it with a sledgey? Slash it in half. Both of us get half, sledge at the same time. Damn. This sounds like what happened at Gallagher's divorce. You know that divorce, that photo where the two couples are divvying up their beanie babies? It's water. It's a watermelon. It's just cubed watermelon from Erewhon. They cut a giant watermelon in half and put it on the fucking defendant's table. Yeah, when Carolyn and I get divorced, it's going to be us sitting crisscross applesauce on the floor of the Beverly Hills Courthouse, divvying up. They're like, no, that's my liquid IV. I bought that. Well, yeah, that's our shared card. You had more than I did. I told you guys to hire a mediator. I told you you needed a mediator.

Breaking all the Xanax bars in half? The spice rack is going to take six months at this rate. The gavel comes out. Okay, I've made my decision. For every bar of Xanax, Jason will get three squares out of the four, and Carolyn gets one square. Jason did pay for them. I, as the authority of the room, will be busting down the ladders myself to make sure that we don't get any errant tears. Sheriff, let's keep an eye on him, please. Imagine a judge with a robe on and his giant hands breaking little Xanaxes to divvy up between plaintiff and defendant. That's good stuff. And I'm over the shoulder. Don't be licking those fingers either. Don't do any Xanny Nummies, judge. Yeah, so there's also something that I want to talk about, an anniversary that I wanted to celebrate that I was made aware of today. Okay. And I wasn't aware. But it is the 10th anniversary of the song Rude by the band Magic. That you must be familiar with. Why you be so rude. You know the song? It's like a shitty song that's played at like every wedding. Okay. Well, let me pull it up on Spotify. You would know. Spotify.co.uk. Rude. So the band is called Magic with an exclamation. That's right. So it was news that this song is 10 years old? No, it was a former guest of the show, Stephen Hyden, posted. Hold on, rewind. Get to the chorus. Don't bore us. Get to the chorus. You know this, right? Yeah. I want you to guess how many times Rude by magic exclamation point has been streamed. I'm going to say 987 million. 2.3 billion. God damn it. This song has been out for 10 years. So Magic! is doing Taylor Swift numbers. On one song, the only song, but that has gone down as like a classic that if you go to any corny wedding, they're playing that song at some point. Oh no. Bro! For listeners at home, one of my loggers exploded. Chris, give me a towel. Just use that Nova check.

I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sorry. Think about the electronics. Okay, drop it down. There we go, Chris. This is the minutiae, guys. This is the stuff that really happens when we're human. I feel like I met a waiter at Balthazar where they take the white paper off or they move everything off the table. Where you're like, I'm so sorry I spilled. And they're like, just move. Just move. You're making it worse. Okay, yeah. So I opened a beer and it just immediately started erupting. This is what I get for drinking shit beer in Britain. London has the worst beer compared to America. Real ales. I'm just kidding. Every British person loves to say that America has bad beer. Which I guess is probably true. But I'm drinking British beer right now and it is bad. So yeah, that song, is it only played at weddings? Because that song, it's from that era where every song was about... Like, going to, like, this old town. Like, we're going to leave this old town. No, I mean, it's 10 years old, so it's 2012. Yeah, but that was the era where there were so many of those, like, indie rock songs that also had, like... Oh, I know. Like, every band was called Blank In Ears. You know what I mean? Oh, Lumineers. Yeah, sure, sure. It has a little bit of like a little hoedown kind of beat, and it might have a fiddle or a violin in there. What's the British one that's so famous? Mumford & Sons. Yeah, it's a Mumford & Sons. It was that era. Every song is about, we're going to leave this dirty old town, and it's just you and me, and we hate our family and our life, and we're going to leave this stinky old town. But they went more like 311 style reggae. Yeah. How many streams does Amber have? That's the real question. I mean, more. It's been out for a hundred years. But not many songs are in the... So you're saying that Magic! could have more streams than Amber by 311? Let me see here. How do I see how many...

Amber, 183 million. Wow. Like... Wow. Like a tenth of the plays. Okay, this is actually shocking. Amber is such a better song. Um... I mean... One billion... Two billion percent better. It's so much better. I think it's good. I don't think it's better. i think people think i think that it's one of those bands i think 311 is one of those bands that people have decided is like kind of ironically cool but i want to be clear nobody does a cruise better than 311 they're definitely a cruise artist i uh so and and the other the other thing um that i wanted to discuss yeah besides my room smelling like fucking beer now you sack of shit don't worry i'll have i'll have the maid come up yeah i bet you will um Half my loggers on the bloody table. Justin Bieber sold his catalog for $200 million at 28 years old. He might be the youngest person to ever sell it. It's funny because now that you say that that song has 2.8 billion streams. I'm looking at Bieber like it's $200 million low for his entire publishing, right? Yeah, but the thing about this is the interesting part about doing it young. Is there a stipulation here? Well, no. I mean, he starts over now. He sold them what exists, and he's only 28. So he's got time to have a full kind of career. So he's J.K. Rowling, and he just sold Chapter 1. Exactly. Of Harry Potter. Exactly. So I feel like it's genius, really, to go about it that way. Yeah, but also at this point, does Justin Bieber have any more hits left in him because he's so psychologically destroyed as a human being? I think God will bless him. If God blessed him with Hailey Bieber, I think God could bless him with a couple more smashes. Well, that's the problem, is now that God is blessing him, he's going to have Christian music, which is notoriously the worst music ever made. Yeah, but if it's made by Justin Bieber, it could still be quite profitable. It could be profitable, but it ain't a bop. It doesn't matter. We're talking about money only.

You can't get paid unless you have a bop. What is he going to do? Do the Christian radio market? No, he would never do that. He would just make music that sounds like Justin Bieber, but the lyrics are all about God instead of teen love. Well, this is interesting because even though he is young, he's under 30 years old, and he just made $200 million. But also, I feel like Justin Bieber just makes $200 million a year just existing. his deals and his endorsements and his streams and his live revenue and his merch sale i mean obviously he's not doing 200 m a year but like he makes a shitload of money constantly and he will until the day he dies i bet he doesn't make as much as we think because he's such a freak and doesn't tour he like stopped touring because of his mental health right so so then is he going to retire forever and just sit on his m's because even though he's still young when's the last time he had a bop Not since, if you ask me, in the eyes of DJ Them Jeans, since he was in the lab with Skrillex. That's true. Which was, what, 10 years ago? 10 years, probably. I think, though, I think what will happen is he will have, I mean, he can tour forever and sell out every show, no matter what. Yeah. That's no problem. I think Justin Bieber will. But also, when his fans are like 43, they're not going to want to buy a $500 ticket to a stadium to hear him go, baby yes they yes they yes they do that's what you don't understand is like those kind of people are exactly who want to pay look i love justin bieber but i'm saying you go to any any like anybody that's ever been that big can sell a tour forever that's just the reality it doesn't matter but now he doesn't have to because he just made 200 million but also i mean obviously that's a shitload of money but in 2023 not that much money it doesn't seem like that much i mean a lot of money when you look at it in relation to like the other you know the other sales of this magnitude of course like it literally is the most well what i want to know since usher signed him originally and he's got i think he's got a good point split on his all of his output right yeah what usher's seeing from that and does usher have a say in that no

Because he doesn't have, like, a controlling. But, yeah, I mean, I think Usher sees something. I mean, the only thing I've seen of Usher is him at Paris Fashion Week looking like an idiot. But I think that that's probably because he doesn't ever have to work again. I'd be dying my hair orange, too, and fucking dancing around. No question. No, I think that... But I think what will happen with Justin Bieber is he'll have a... He'll have some... Something will happen. Like, something... He'll link up with someone and have his, like... his his time like his johnny cash rick rubin you know what i mean like nine inch nails is gonna cover one of justin bieber honestly i could i think that something like that will happen with justin bieber it'll be like like the 1975 will cover where are you now And it's going to light the world on fire. Introduce it to a whole new audience. They're going to play it at the Super Bowl. They're going to play it at the World Cup. No, I really do think something like that will happen. It's not going to be anytime soon. He'll probably continue to put out middle-of-the-road pop songs for at least 10 years. But I think once he is ready to do the tell-all about his life and emotions. His Harry book. And what he's gone through, then he will be able to monetize that. I'm all for it. Unfortunately, he does have to give 10% to the church, so I hope Mosaic is ready to break ground on their newest location. So you saw one thing you want to talk about is an article? Well, it was Grub Street, and it was about all of these, basically the rise of the obnoxious store that sells all the products from Instagram, like Fish Wife. The olive oils and all the shit that you only see on Instagram. And I didn't know this. What I learned from the story is there's like a company. I'm forgetting the name. That like is the middleman for that. Like we could go on this website. You're talking about the shoppy shops? Yes. We could go on this website. You and I. And we're like we're opening how long gone artisanal market in Glendale. And it's just like they're the middleman. So you don't have to contact every brand yourself. And you can just buy all that shit.

from this one place and open your little store it's all i mean whenever i see it's like it's the same thing as um like where the streaming wars where it's like streaming came to destroy and change the game with tvs and dvds and eventually it just goes back to netflix has commercials now and you have to pay for every channel and it's the same thing as cable is this the same thing as like okay we have brick and mortar stores Now you can go online, you can go on Instagram, and you can buy these DTC tinned sardines. And now it's like, well, now there's stores that you buy them and you go through a distributor. So it's like it's in the store. So instead of going from the store to Instagram, it goes from the Instagram to the store. So should I buy my Fly By Jing at Wine and Eggs, or should I buy it online? Should I watch Marriage Story in the theater when it's there for two weeks, or should I wait until it's on Netflix? These are the questions that are hard for us and that we have to answer. But I just think that these products... Back in my day, it was just Trader Joe's would see a product and be like, cool, I'm going to change the label, steal it, and it's going to cost half the price. And we're done with it. Yeah. No, agreed. I mean, I think it's a little bit. But now people want to have the Fly By Jing brand on their shelf. So when the girlies come over for a wine night, they go, ooh, is that chili oil? No, it's. Can I put that on my six-minute egg? It's just so. All of those products are worse. They're just like graphic designer versions of things that exist. It's just rebranded. Like specifically the olive oil one that's in the squeeze bottle, like Grazia. I don't even know what it's called. But like olive oil is literally, I do not need that. Like I do not need a graphic designer olive oil that somebody got $100 million investment for. Like it's insane to me that that's not good. You don't. And I don't, but some people do. Some people need olive oil to be fun. But I like stuff to look nice. Obviously, I guess that's just an aesthetic decision at a certain point, but I think it's cooler to have regular olive oil from the grocery store than it is to have olive oil that people are putting on Instagram and tagging. I don't... I would rather... I want my money to go towards...

buying better olives to make the olive oil instead of having that money go towards the graphic design consultancy agency with the 50 employees and the 10 rounds of revisions and the field testing and the seeding and the influencer. I hate to say it. They're not from Italy, but we did. We did. Look at this bottle. Look at this fucking bottle. This thing's going to fly off the shelves at all. You no longer have to own chuggy olive oil, a product that you just put in your, cabinet let's free ourselves as as a culture as a society let's free ourselves from all of these instagram brands like i'm not 10 fish is disgusting and one of the worst trends that's ever happened to us like like some unless i'm in world war one i don't want it bro the fact that some well-funded like harvard graduate is is making 10 a homeless person food into rich white people food No one talks about this. No one's talking about it. It's a clever rebrand. No, it's genius. The devil's playing a trick on that. But I have to say, the thought of eating that is, like, do people actually think that tastes good? Let's keep it 100. Some people must. Yeah, I mean, people love it. Do you think there's a world, is there anyone in the world, in our general age demographic, that can eat a 10 fish without posting a picture of it? Do you think it exists? I don't know if it does. If you live on the street, then yeah. No, that's what I mean. I'm saying someone from a similar socioeconomic background, there's no – I don't think – it's like if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it. Is any tin fish consumed if a photo isn't taken? Yeah, I guess there's a lot of things that fit into that category. Like can you order a seafood tower at a restaurant and not take a photo of it? Can you go to In-N-Out and not take a picture of your double-double? I mean, I'm guilty of some of this stuff, too. Of course, we all are. Can you get an iced coffee where you just pour the milk in and it gets all swirly-whirly without taking a picture of it? Swirly-whirly. There's just so many things. What is that building in New York, like Hudson Yards? It's a crazy geometric shape. Or maybe it's not Hudson Yards. Yeah, the ugly ass. Chelsea Piers or something. Can you go there? There's so many. There's a billion things in the world where you can't. I'm guilty of all this. I do all of these things. Me, too. But I think mine are cool.

I guess they're people that think posting sardines on a cracker. But these are the same kind of people that want to post the table of abundance at their house where they've spent $500 on cheese and meat for their three friends to come over that they're not going to eat. You just see flies buzzing around it because no one's going to fucking eat it because it's just for the picture. Have you guys tried these? These are like potato chips, but they're like truffle flavored. It's crazy. Those pictures, I feel like we've calmed down on that. But I was like, this is so. insane that people do this no one is fucking eating this no one yeah and to take a page out of julia fox's book i just hate a display of wealth when there's so much homelessness going on in the world i i i hate it too especially especially when it's food related i i just but yeah i mean i think that the like and i've been to these stores before obviously you know at least wine eggs and a few few of the other ones mentioned and it's just like it's funny to go there kind of Those stores to me are an extension of the ice cream museum type of shit where it's like I live my life on social media 1000% and now my email job that I don't go to Monday through Friday is done. Saturday is here. It's time to take my rescue dog to the park and then I don't know what to do with my life whatsoever so I might as well go to a store to use all of my email job coins to go buy the stuff that i see on instagram and i could touch it and i could feel it and i could smell it and i could inspect the quality of the packaging i can pick up and i could take a photo of it i can pick up two bottles of interesting wine i can get based on the label only a 26 12 pack of eggs that were grown right here in silver lake Like you can afford eggs. I can get all of my sauces that are designed by good people. And then I can buy some Bub and Grandma's, you know, loafs. And I can go back to my house. I can take a picture of all of it. And then I have to go to Trader Joe's to get my real groceries. Right. That's my thing. It's like this is not a.

Well, you have your front-of-house groceries and your back-of-house groceries. But I think people think it's like they're living some European lifestyle. They're going to the cheese monger and the butcher shop, and they're vegetable purveyor. I'm going to ride my bicycle and have a basket in the front, and my dog that wears a beret sits in there, and I put my baguette in there, and I ride to the park, and I read poetry. That is not what you're doing, Chief. You're going to a place, you're getting ripped off by some other white people. and you're going home, and you feel good about it. You're going to watch Emily in Paris in your underwear, and then you're going to boil four potatoes and cut up five pieces of salmon and go Gohar style. It'd be cooler if they went Gohar style. It would. People are so mad about Gohar style. I'm like, Gohar is the OG of this shit. She's getting paid to put out salmon and potatoes for Hermes. What the fuck are you doing, loser? It's true. It's a very good point. It's as cool as it gets. It's as cool as it gets. I have to respect it on a level of just, it's such an interesting thing to be like, no, no, I'm doing this, and you're going to pay me for it because it's good. And they're just like, yeah, you're right, fuck it. The greatest trick the devil ever played was serving you a boiled potato. I'm a Gohar stan for those reasons. Expensive, unusable products, food that looks funny but might taste good, and I'll never know. What's the problem? Yeah. And food where it's like, if you think this is bad, I can argue against it and you'll lose. Well, it's also like, oh, you think this is bad? Your palate just might not be there. Well, not all art is meant to be understood by everyone. I guess everyone's not going to kind of understand. Yeah, it's like when I play somebody, a Boards of Canada 10-inch. They're like, this isn't bad. And you're like, well. Your brain is not really able to understand all the frequencies that they create. You know the way that you really understand baseball? I don't really get that. But I would expect you... But it's good for you. Yeah, it's fine. That's your thing. This is kind of more of an elevated way of thinking. How many pieces of raw, unsauced salmon could you eat? Could you eat all six pieces, Chris? I love sashimi.

Yeah, but the sashimi is covered in a lovely ponzu and some freshly grated wasabi, a little ginger, maybe some yuzu paste, maybe there's some crispy onions, maybe there's some olive oil, maybe there's some lemon. That's true. Just a raw half pound of salmon cut into six thick slices, no accoutrement. For Gohar? Yeah. I would. Out of respect for her artistry, I would choke down the raw salmon. You'd take the whole eight. I would take the whole eighth, bro. Out of respect for a fellow grussler, I would do it. Damn, that's like the hot chick version of taking five grams of mushrooms and sitting in pure silence. Yes. Like, if you sit Indians, if you sit crisscross applesauce on the floor, I have Native American in my blood, suck my dick. If you sit crisscross applesauce in a dark, silent room, void of any sensory, And you have six pieces of salmon, unseasoned, unsauced. And you have to slowly, meticulously eat them. There's potatoes too. You will see God. I'll get mercury poisoning for Gohar. Out of respect. Out of respect. I'd rather get mercury poisoning from a Gohar plate than from Nobu. I'll say that off top. Hell yeah. That's like saying, yeah, I got the clap from Kate Moss. Everyone's going to be like, bro, can I shake your hand? Well, not your hand, but I'll give you an elbow bump. Let's fist bump if you have some gloves. I can't wait for the full kind of... There's going to be a moment in the near future where people are like, you know what? I'm shopping at fucking Kroger. I'm over this shit. I'm done with even Whole Foods. I'm done with Whole Foods. I'm done with Whole Foods. I'm done with the fucking farmer's market, doggy daycare, fucking stroller wars. I want to go to fucking Kroger and buy regular shit, and it's probably just as good. 1,000%. I understand that buying something...

in a different way makes it feel different but i think the actuality is like i guarantee you the produce at kroger and the produce at whole foods is probably pretty similar oh yeah the ralph's fresh fare by my house the produce there compared to whole foods 10x better my hand to god swear to god but it is interesting because you have like the regular public's kroger regular supermarket where it's middle of the road quality middle of the road graphic design all for the masses yeah then you have era one whole foods where it's slightly more Then middle of the road quality, but the design is super high and the price is super high. And then you have Trader Joe's where it's just the same shit. The graphic design is awful. It's so bad, but the price is so low that you almost enjoy how bad the graphic design is. I mean, yeah, the fact that the Trader Joe's tote is like a thing that people are proud to carry, you know, because it's like ironically ugly. And like it shows that you're I don't know, you you voted for fucking. and you drive a Prius that's a little too old, I guess. But I just think there's going to be a full circle moment where it's like, what? Oh yeah, shop at Publix. They got fucking oat milk too, loser. I don't need to deal with this. I don't need to see fucking chicks in Astroworld hoodies. I don't need to see Rolls Royces double parked. I can go into the grocery store, park my car, and walk in like a normal person and see moms and get my job done and get out. There is something to be said why I would never go into a regular supermarket and buy a $3.99 container of Sabra's hummus, but I will go into Trader Joe's and buy a $1.99 thing of hummus that's probably worse. Yeah, definitely. Worse label, but it just feels better. I love to be played with. It's the power of brands. I mean, we fall victim to it. I will continue to do it. As a person who doesn't cook, I don't care. I go to Erwan for the smoothies. I don't go for the produce, but I do think that there is going to be a little bit of a rejection because it's getting extreme. It's getting too far. It's getting extreme. The same way natural wine is over, it's the same. The same way a Toyota pickup truck from 2003 costs more than a brand new car. So much to consider. Well, off we go to...

Our first London show right now. Our first London show. We'll see you. We'll be back on the weekend for a full recap. I'm going to try to make sure that my questions don't offend Alexa. And I'm going to see kind of... I'm going to ask some hard-hitting stuff. Oh, thank God. You know? Like, how many barbers do you have? Barber with a U. Yeah, of course, with a U. Out of respect. But yeah, thank you, London. Thank you to The Standard. Thank you to our friends at Matches. Thank you to Purple. We've had a great time so far, and we will see you. Thank you to St. John's. Thank you to Braun. And we'll see you Sunday as well at the Moth Club for all the real heads. Ta-ta.
