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. How Long Gone is here. I am Jason Stewart. That's Chris Black. We are recording live in Glendale from my house. in the same room together for the first time since we're in London. It seems like eons. We've recorded in person together in London, but this is the first time in my house in at least a month. We're back in the lab, as they say. I think this is album mode is what we're doing right now. Yeah, album mode. I'm doing Whole30. I'm not jacking off. I'm really out getting after it right now. I'm one day overdue for a haircut. That's my album mode kind of look. Yeah, you're looking disheveled. I need to get my braids redone, but she's out of town, so it's been... Dude, speaking of Drake, and I'm assuming you're talking about Drake because you said album mode and braids, but I saw something on Twitter where it was a playlist of Drake's gayest songs. And you didn't think to send this to me? Well, the problem was it included the playlist album artwork on Spotify. Maybe our listeners can try to look this up. It's a graphic image, but it's like, here's Drake's gayest songs. It's like Grease and Passion Fruit, you know, greasing up the Passion Fruit, all that stuff. But the image is a photo of a person in the middle of sucking a dick, and his face is covered in cum. And the person in the photo very much resembles Drake, the rapper. Drake the rapper. Okay, I was wondering who you were talking about.

2:23-4:38

That's a little vulgar. I didn't know Spotify. Well, Drake is a rapper as well as Bok Bok. Oh, yeah. Bok Bok Bok. But I don't think that he. So hold on. That's a terrible phrase, you guys. So they got a lookalike for this photo. Well, we don't know. Okay, good point, I guess. But I don't understand. We want to believe that Drake is out here sucking dick. Obviously, it would answer a lot of questions. A lot of aunties and uncles of his would be like. Yeah. I knew it. I knew it. I am surprised that that artwork is allowed on Spotify. Well, I just typed in Drake Gay into Spotify. Only on Spotify. It's the home of How Long Gone. And then Gayest Drake Songs. And it's... That's too gnarly for me. That's like Lil Wayne lyrics. I'm all good. Grease, Passion Fruit, Sooner Than Later, Best I Ever Had, Marvin's Room, Too Good, A Night Off. It's all there. But just hold on. We're going home. That song is so... Straight that it is gay, I guess. I mean, those are some of his best songs, which does lead me to believe that he is, in fact, gay. But, I mean, Marvin's Room is... I gotta stop looking at this graphic image. I don't think Marvin's Room is gay, though. I think Marvin's Room is, like, Elliot Smith-style emotional. Is Marvin a girl's name or a fella's name, Chris? Well, I think it's not referring to... It's referring to a man's room, not his... Exactly. You know where sex happens? Oh, shit. Okay, damn. In the room. Now you really got my third eye. The album's not called Melissa's Room. These are the things we have to ponder, Chris. I think he's talking about Marvin Gaye, the legendary. I've never listened to those gay-ass songs, so I don't know what they're about. That's not true. You love Marvin's Room, and I know it. No, absolutely not. Marvin's Room and Take Care. I'm like, all right, is it nap time? One of his best songs. That's a lot coming from a guy who listens to music that's literally made for nap time. So why didn't you... Actually, speaking of music, I'm surprised that you weren't flown in or you didn't fly into New York for Skrillex, your boy Fred again, and who else was it? Fortet? That's literally a TJ. Can you imagine the green room of fucking incel DJs at that fucking event?

4:38-6:41

huge though it's crazy the only reason why i would go to that green room is so i could steal usb drives from various djs get some unreleased get some unreleased stuff i mean i mean as my dj career continues to blossom i don't have the time i don't have the the hours in the day to research these uh white label selections do you not share an assistant with skrillex anymore i don't want skrillex's music I bet you do. I bet Sonny's got some heaters in there. No, he does for sure, but it's not my flavor. But people are really liking his new album. Not his new look, but his new album. And I'm interested to hear DJ EDM them jeans. Why are the heads liking it? Is it a return to form or is it a stylistic switch? It's both. Honestly, somehow he did both. It's about like he's returning to form with that same kind of music. It's not like EDM stuff. It's more like hip-hop. It's kind of like torque music. It's basically like his style mixed with a Missy Elliott song. You know what I mean? So it's the kind of music that everyone can agree on is pretty good. The real bass being dubstep proper lads can be like... The sub frequencies on this are low key slaying. My Rockford Fosgate is rattling my trunk when I turn on the Skrillex. And your cousin at Brigham Young University can be like, I like dancing to this song. It's got a fun song to beat too. So it's like kind of palatable, but like palatable fully across the board. In the style of like a Harlem shake. You know what I mean? where Shaq will DJ it and I will DJ it, and it'll be on a State Farm commercial. But does he have some heavy hitters on the features list? I don't know. I don't even know if the album is out. Yeah, it's out. All of it? Oh, maybe not. I think he's doing a slow trickle. Well, I was listening to, I played Al the new Lotto song that you recommended. Big Lotto. Lottery. Lottery. Maybe I'll play that. Not to be confused with the store where you buy French desserts.

6:41-8:57

Oh, yes, of course, Lottery. Yeah, of course. I wouldn't want that confusion, and I hope that Big Lotto doesn't get sued for that kind of confusion in the marketplace. Could you imagine a Big Lotto and the California State Lottery and Lottery, a pistachio collab? Pistachio and California's avocado, all paid for by avocado. Don't give this away for free, but I did listen to it, and I forgot that you told me that it was like a... basically a Dua Lipa song. It's a summertime bop for the girls to day party, too. It's a girlies summertime bop day party song for sure, but I just, I wasn't, I forgot. It's like, I need a song to make me feel good about giving this guy head. Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go. He paid for the bottle of vodka that cost $1,200, so I kind of got to do it. He bought the Lobster Mac. Nothing says Dave... You bought the lobster crock, my damn. Nothing says Dave Party like eating some lobster mac poolside in Vegas when it's 110. It's in a lollipop form, so you don't get it all over your hands. It's a lobster pop. Runny, okay, okay. But yeah, I forgot that you told me it was a Dua Lipa song. Could you imagine, sorry to interrupt, if there's a drive-thru, like a drive-thru shack. You know, like you go to Starbucks and you get a kick pop and a cold brew or whatever. If they just sold like lobster mac and cheese balls on a stick in a drive-thru. I mean. Oh, my God. That is definitely happening. Put it next door to a Raisin Cane's. The whole neighborhood shut down. Oh, I see. You're combining. You're making two stops. Yeah. Before you hit. It's a twofer. It's a bang bang. Louis C.K. style bang bang. I would say that Raisin Cane's and lobster mac pops is something that should only be eaten in private. As I get older and more mature in life. I will only want to eat in private for some reason. I only want to eat pizza in private. I don't like to eat pizza in front of other people. I don't want to have desserts in private or in public either. Yeah, I understand that. Even as a dessert lover. And I'm not even the type of motherfucker to lick the bowl like a dog. I am. I am able to resist. Are you a member of the Clean Plate Club, Chris? I didn't know this was a club. Who else?

8:57-11:19

Are there other members that have only two legs, or is it kind of our four-legged friends only? No, I know some fat bitches, too. Okay, well, I mean, look, I wouldn't be a plate cleaner in all establishments, but there's some establishments that deserve the clean. Give them that gawk-gawk. Yeah. What? Shut up. I don't know why it's okay if I do it, but it's not okay if you do it. It's not okay when I do it either. The sound that you made was when a cartoon takes a bite out of an apple. That is more my... Yeah, and I've been... Honestly, I've been on an apple wave lately. Disgusting. Apples are disgusting? I hate apples. I hate the skin. It's disgusting. I want to like them because of the convenience of eating them. Your fat ass eat an apple pie a la mode, right? I don't really like that either, to be honest. I've never liked apples. I don't like pears. I force myself to like bananas because it's... So mealiness is the issue, I'm assuming. I just don't like the skin of an apple. I don't like that. And you don't have the time to peel. Growing up, my mom had this cool thing that you would crank. Spiralizer. And it would peel. We would just peel it. It wouldn't spiral. Crank that Granny Smith. Yeah, yeah. Crank that Honey Chris. I just dabbed. But it was, that made it nice. But my dad loves apple. I just, I don't know, man. It's just not for me. Dad love apple. Not me. Not baby. Baby don't love apple. No, no, no. Not so much. But I love the convenience. I love all the varietals. It's almost like cannabis. Yeah. Watch out, because if you get the wrong apple. Are you saying it could be a tragedy? Yeah, I mean, cold sweats. Oh, God. Petal position. Okay, so it could upset the tummy? It could open up your forethigh. Oh, hell no. Diarrhea. Oh, I see, I see. Yeah, so what's going on? I forgot what you were talking about. I was talking about Lotto, but I don't care about it. Oh, yeah, so do you like the song? Yeah, I mean, I will never listen to it, but it's a hit. I'll put it on the end of this episode. It's a SoulCycle song. R.I.P. to SoulCycle, but it's a SoulCycle song. We need the Dua Lipa music space to be occupied because she's off cycle. She has a new song that leaked called Tijuana. I saw this and somebody was like, our password is Dua Lipa12345. But yeah, I saw that it leaked, but it sounds, I did listen to just a snippet, but it does feel very demo quality. Yeah, it's giving B-side. I mean, I don't...

11:19-13:34

You know I don't get it with Dua, but I think that I'm happy to hear Lotto taking on the style. Absolutely. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? Do you know who produced the Lotto song? I don't know. I know. I think Pharrell produced the Dua song. But the Lotto song, I mean, it could be our friend of the show, Ryland. Do you think Pharrell still has time to make music now that he's got this new job? now that he's up to his years in dressmaking and patterns? I don't know. I want to talk about the BBC jeans that have the dog print across the entire dick area. BBC Billionaire Boys Club, not British Broadcast. Because there was a time when those first came out. Billionaire Boys Club dick print jeans first came out when I was still working retail. That's how long it's been around. And I remember those coming out being like, this is crazy like this is so fucking ugly and they did the logo they did they've done a bunch of dick print treatment there's multiple designs that have been screen printed on the penis area on the penis area of the pants and i was just or i mean in a in 2023 in the private area in the down in in my down there spot yeah in the down that you will it's smoothed over or it's a penis yeah it's it's a it's just like something that really when i think of pharrell and i think of design I first think of the cursed cactus plant flea market. And then a close second is the dick print BBC jeans. And I'm wondering which of those things will first make an appearance at LV. Well, I don't remember exactly the cactus. Well, he's responsible for cactus plant flea market because that was his former assistant. Okay. He put it on. Right, right, right. He lit it. He's a champion of the craft. He made it lit. The craft streetwear aesthetic, also popularized by online ceramics and others, where it feels a little handmade. Post-vis-vin? I want my streetwear a little more precise, personally. That's just me. Okay. That's fine. I don't know what that looked like. I think the Billionaire Boys Club stuff, that's been in the zone lately.

13:34-15:42

Like, Vizu has been back for the last couple years. That's what I mean. The dog is, you know, all my drainers. The dog is back. I'm seeing it on my little website. It's like Lil Durk showing up, you know, at the game with the BBCs on. Lil Durk with the skateboard sweater. I think it's JW Anderson, and it was terrible. Was that JW Anderson? Yeah. Yeah. Don't say it. Okay. The guy makes a great converse. He makes a great converse. He put his name on the converse. Oh, baby. That gets my wallet wide open. People are really up in arms about Pharrell still, though. It's pretty crazy. Are they, though? This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by a new podcast from The Guardian stateside with Kai and Carter. This is covering a lot of our bases, Jason. It's trying to slow down. The news and wrestle with the questions we all have about what's happening in the world. And I know you particularly have quite a lot of questions. A lot of questions. But how often? 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. And I have a feeling just based on the platform and these talking points that they're maybe going to be covering different stuff than we do. That's just a guess. The Guardian is not some billionaire owned. They're not afraid to say what they want to say, brother. Yeah, Rupert ain't sniffing around in what journalists Kai Wright and Carter Sherman are up to over there at Stateside. But yeah, listen wherever you get your podcasts. You can watch it on YouTube.

He's got great taste. I was listening to Joe Budden podcast on the way over, and they're like, yeah, he deserves it. This is dope. And then fashion people are like, this is terrible because he doesn't know what he's doing. There's people that train for a lifetime to do this. Does this mean, is this the end of blah, blah, blah? And it probably lands somewhere in the middle where they're going to make money for a couple years and it's going to be fine and they'll move on to something else. I think all it does is if you are a real, talented, passionate designer who loves the craft and cares about it. All you have to do is just – it's creating a divide between these two brands where before – I mean two styles of brands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where you have all these cool brands and they are now being ruined by celebrity endorsements and commercial cash grabs and polka dot prints and making cartoons and little kid stuff and stuffed animals and all that bullshit. But is it ruined or is it just like – Has it always been ruined? Well, no. I mean the job of a business is to make money. So to me, it's not – I mean – Yeah, but there's a difference between a business and a legacy, luxury. Of course. That's an art house. That's a thing that creates – you put the craft first and then the financial stuff comes afterwards if you do it all correctly. Well, I mean – It's the same thing as like – it's just taking like a restaurant or a brand or anything like that that's held up to a certain esteem and regard. you attach a celebrity to it, and then you're like, okay, well, now you're in that clump of brands now. Well, that's every brand. It doesn't have to be. Because I look at it from the DJ perspective of celebrities come in. Thank God you put it through the DJ lens. This is what I was waiting on. Celebrities will come in and be like, oh, I'll just do that, and then everyone's like, yeah, I'll book you because you sell way more tickets, you sell way more clothes than...

20:16-22:10

some like Austrian dude that we've never heard of. The difference is, is that, and then the real heads are going to be like, okay, cool. That's fine. I don't need to go buy Louis Vuitton clothing. I haven't done that for years. I'm going to go support interesting, independent designers. The difference of all this is that none of these people are actually doing anything. There's like a team of real heads actually making this stuff. Of course, of course. It's not like a DJ is like... I mean, we know what a creative director does. Nothing. Well, that's right. That's right. Don't offend half of our audience. No, but I think that... No, I mean, you're a master delegator and then you delegate the work to people who are more talented than you but are not as good at delegating. That's the way the whole system works. No, it's true. I just think that people are, the passion also, it's my favorite thing when I'm like, the people that are most mad about this are the people that have never bought anything from Louis Vuitton because they can't afford it. Yeah, I mean, you can't afford it. Not many people can in this world. And also, I don't remember ever seeing an item of clothing from Louis Vuitton or Saint Laurent or any of these brands that have been fucked out and ruined where I'm like, I love this. shirt i want to buy it this isn't for you i know i know but i mean i could look back into archival pieces from that you could find no that's not true did you know that tom ford used to work at gucci you could find something he made dope threads back then you could find something from all these brands if you actually looked not saying it might not fit me but if i do find one thing in the collection from louis vuitton it'll be like a plain pair of jeans or whatever it is at that point it's not a louis vuitton garment it's just anything no that's not true because i think what you're missing is the quality is crazy like the quality stuff like that is that's what actually the price i know but that's why it's lumped in that category of ultra premium luxury but also there's a hundred other companies that make jeans of that same quality i mean to an extent yeah

22:10-24:31

To an extent. I mean, it depends on what kind of jeans you're looking for. I don't have time to get into this selfish conversation. I mean, any garment. I mean, it's not like Louis Vuitton is like, we make clothes out of fabrics that nobody has access to, and we use them. I mean, they might develop their own fabrics. It's possible. I mean, they do. I mean, all these places do. I know, yeah. That's part of the proprietary nature. Yeah, and like I said, the hundred luxury brands at the top, they're all on the same level of quality and production, more or less. No, it's just which brand you want to identify with. Yeah, for sure. And I don't want to identify with any of those brands unless it's vintage. Check it out, realreal.com. Check it out, realreal.com. I was also on the Joe Budden podcast. They were having a very interesting conversation, Jason, about this is something I've seen bubbling on Twitter when I kind of go into some other areas that I don't usually venture into. Interesting. The British Vogue cover with ASAP Rocky and Rihanna. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, ain't no way. I'm not going to be on the cover of a magazine with my bitch standing in front of me and me holding the baby. That's not what a man does. Right, and this is torn from the pages of our Sarah Jane Ho episode with the Eastern social dynamics where a woman would never walk in front of a man, especially an elder. They're saying, okay, that's cool, but she's got more money than him. I think that if... I mean, yeah, she has more money than him, of course. She's a fucking billionaire. She has more money than anyone. I don't think it's a big deal to feature your more famous, more wealthy person. It's also a women's fashion magazine. But I just like that there's guys that are like, oh, fuck no, hell no. And then it's like they use an example of like, you know the guy in the hood who started dating the girl that works at the bank? You know what I mean? He's driving her car. He's picking her up from work. He's doing his little shit. And I was like, damn, that's an interesting... He's hugging her from behind when she's paying for the new Xbox game. Exactly. The whole thing. But I was like, it's crazy to me that people... That wouldn't even have crossed my mind looking at that cover. Absolutely not. And anybody who's going to leave a comment like that does have that type of incel energy where if they were...

24:31-26:43

somehow cosmically in the same room as rihanna they would wet themselves out of embarrassment and shock and nervousness but on twitter this is the best thing asap rocky could have done for he has no songs he's never i mean he's had he hadn't had a song in 15 years so yeah he got no songs he he's like i got some charges pending yeah i'm gonna him and drake are tied up in the murder of triple x Yeah, he's got a bunch of charges pending. If you have a baby with the most famous person in the world, I'm not saying I know how the legal system works, but I do think there's some Rihanna fans up at the top. Supreme Court, you know, they got Rihanna fans. The local magistrate. The Navy waters run deep. Can you insert a flowing water? If I was editing this episode, there would be nautical sounds. But you know what I mean. I just think it's so much better for him all around. One billion percent. There's no situation where... Hopefully he stops making music. That would be the smartest thing he could do. Honestly, he's better suited to be the creative director of Louis than Pharrell. He has the time, and I think he has a more unique eye for contemporary fashion than Pharrell does. Are you saying that Harlem fellas got swag? Well, I think ASAP has always been drippy. Yeah, he's more drippy than he is. Because if you look at... through the archives of all the clothing items that ASAP has worn compared to Pharrell. Obviously, Pharrell has been existing for decades in the public eye before, but you go back and look at pictures of Pharrell's sauce, and it's like he's wearing denim capri shorts with a tweed blazer. He's taking more fashion risk as a Chanel partner, and that's something that I think I understand. And he's a very stylish man. Don't forget about the hat. Of course the hat. But he's like the Beatles catalog. A lot of swings, a lot of hits, a lot of misses too. Rocky through the years, I'm always like, he looked good. White beater on. He's sample size. Pharrell's best era is like the Neptunes. He's wearing jeans and an independent trucks t-shirt.

26:43-28:56

That's when he looked the coolest, honestly. During the Pharrell Can't Skate era? Yeah, the Pharrell Can't... Which we need to make Pharrell Can't Sew shirts. Oh, you're just giving it away. I know. Ten Deep, if you're listening, let's collab. Ten Deep, if you're listening, Jason, I know you make clothes in Jason's size, so it's a great time to kind of send the pack over. Mishka, I know you're listening. I'll give you, don't bring up Mishka, my enemies. Fair, fair, fair, fair. We're one of the worst brands of all time. Don't sleep on their NFTs. I went to the Luna Luna thing yesterday. Oh, yeah. And I got to say, man, it was very pro. No, it's not street art. Doesn't Keith Haring do street art? Some would consider it that. I've seen videos where he'll paint. like he'll like use chalk on the subway i know it's not the street it's like underground but it's like underground art right it's underground art that's a good point actually that's the best way to put it but we go you go to this we went to this warehouse downtown and you pull up and they've got like the like the little coffee shop in the parking lot like they got rick's juice they got the espresso machine in the like so while you're waiting for this tour because it's like a guided tour okay um I'm like, damn, this is pro. So there's crafty set up in the parking lot. Yeah, exactly. But it's like all very – the whole thing is so pro. Everybody's got their uniform and they've got the earpieces in. And then the tour – so if you don't know what it is – You went to the Friends and Family Soft Open. I did, yeah. It's basically like a group got together and bought these 30 kind of like – what do they call the storage things like the the people like build houses like storage wars like in like a storage container storage containers exactly i'm sorry shipping container exactly so they they knew this existed it's like this it's this art it's this art carnival that was in in in germany in 1987 so it's like Herring, Basquiat. This is before the wall fell. Hockney, yeah. All of these artists created rides and amusement. Parasels and circus games and things like that. This group got together and they bought the...

28:56-31:11

the storage containers that had been sitting in Texas unopened, like sight unseen. Who the fuck was sitting on this? Espo right now is being like, God damn. Unclear, unclear who was sitting on it. So they cracked them open, and they realized, like, oh, wow, this shit, like, like, the Keith Haring carousel, which is fucking insane, like, fully works. Like, it's, like, in there spinning around. Fully operational. Yeah. The boys down at the garage were able to get to turn over. Yeah, they pimp the ride, as they say. So we go in, and I'm like, oh, I didn't realize this shit, like, worked. This is pretty crazy. Were you able to sit on the carousel and ride it? No, they're not that dumb. They wouldn't let my fat ass on the carousel. But it was like this whole, so we get the tour. Unfortunately, the tour before us was even more private. It was Kaya Gerber, Kirstie Godso. I wasn't on that. I wasn't invited to that tour. size of this whole thing was really impressive i didn't i didn't know stuff what i was just the scale of it was the grand scale yeah like some of the stuff wouldn't fit in this giant warehouse because it was too tall you know hey man i can relate well i i was i was hoping to go to that but i spent the day in orange county so i might have to go visit this art installation well it's not i mean i think it was they basically were just doing this for freeze because people were in town but then i think the idea is they're going to do like a new they're, they're commissioning artists to do a new version of this and then they're going to take it on the road. Okay. So it'll be like, you know, it'll be like whoever, you know, um, uh, uh, and it'll be like their rollercoaster, you know, but you're going to take it on tour cause like live nations involved. So it'll be like a music show. You know, it's going to be the Izzy wood. Yeah. The Izzy wood wooden rollercoaster. That would be great. But yeah, it was just really, I was just like, damn, this is fucking cause I'd heard about it for years. Cause every, creative director i've ever met in my entire life is working on it um and i was like damn this is actually really crazy like i didn't like pictures of undertaking yeah like the the scale of it and like how big it is and how many people it's going to take to like get it off the ground you know it's just like it's really impressive but i did have to go downtown that was the only downside hey man freeze week it'll do weird things to you on it i mean

31:11-33:27

Go to an airport in Santa Monica. Who would have thought? I had to DJ. When I was DJing at a Freeze party, shout out to our Purple fan. But there was a young person, not a young person, a person who works at Freeze, like VP of Partnerships or something like that. He approached the bench while I was DJing and was like, hey, big fan of how long gone. Can you tell Chris that I sent him a VIP pass? to go to Freeze, and he left me on red. And I was like, ooh, that sounds like Chris. How do I leave someone on red? It's an automated email. It's like an email from, like, freeze at freezevip. Like, it's not. I didn't see an email. And it all goes to my spam, weirdly. But I confirmed the past. It could have been a DM. No, I got an email because of... something I did with Hauser and Wirth through my friend Jed. Oh, sick. So this guy is, I appreciate he pushed the send button, but there was not a name attached to any email from Freeze. Okay. I just wanted to pass that on to you on a public forum. Did he want the smoke or was it more like, I just think it's funny? No, I think he wanted that gawk gawk instead. Oh, okay. He wanted to get into your good graces. So he was flirting is what you're saying. Yeah, and this, I've never, this was one DJ set where I've never had more. dick thrown my way in my entire life it was it was like an older older kind of gay male crowd yeah you know freeze party but man lapping it up like it was a clean plate club and i'm like so you're saying so you're saying they were making it clear that if you wanted to kind of go sniffies mode you could yeah oh yeah one thousand percent And were they critiquing or making any recommendations on your DJing, or was it more about your looks and height? They weren't critiquing, but if I played a song that they liked, they would definitely come over and bathe me in attention and adoration. Can you think of some of those songs, maybe, that kind of got these guys going? Older songs. Oh, really? You know, 80s gay shit. You know, Depeche Mode. Okay, sure. I played a Boney M song. You know.

33:27-35:28

Okay. I'm not going to play ABBA. I'm not that cheesy. So things that would take them back to their clubbing heyday, maybe. Back when they could get hard without prescription meds and things like that. Okay. But there's people that are very forward, and then there's the lurkers who will kind of stand far away and give you the look, give you the eye, and then if I kind of tuck into the restroom, then... They might follow me to the restroom. Okay, sure. I've got a couple of restroom followers. This actually reminds me of something that's been happening to me recently, where I noticed I was followed by an account that only posts pictures of men in clogs. Yeah, I saw this. It's an old picture of me wearing some Danskos. And I was like, this is weird. And then I looked at the guy, and it feels very weird. He emailed me. I think this person sent me a message or something. He emailed me. Oh, they're listening right now, aren't they? A picture, the picture of me wearing clogs saying, this is a nice picture of you wearing clogs. That's it? Yeah. Oh, no. Should I be concerned? So he's a clog kink? I think he's a clog kink, and I didn't know. I mean, look, there's something for everybody. I would never want to shame anyone for what they're into, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, army hammer, you know, I don't, you know, I just. But this, I'm like... I don't want to eat you. I want to know that I can't eat you. But it's weird because it's obviously a clog fetish's foot fetish adjacent, but you can't see the foot. We don't know that. We don't know that, but I would think that that is the same thing, but maybe this fella is disgusted by the nude foot. He only wants to see it in fine leathers in a clog format. I don't know. The fact that it's such a specific... piece of footwear, especially a shoe that's typically worn more by women than men. Yeah, true. I hate to say that, but unless you're a member of the nurse community...

35:28-37:44

All my Filipino nurses listening right now, of the male variety, I know you're holding it down in clogs. No, they're wearing hokas now, unfortunately, but yeah. They was. Hopefully at least they're slip-resistant and steel-toed hokas. Yeah. They're wearing the kitchen hoka because we plug it on and they can just spray it down. Yeah, so I think that if this person has such a specific kink or fetish, which is... Is males wearing clogs in bare feet, typically, or is a sock in play? I believe I was barefoot. Okay. It makes me feel as if maybe something monumental happened to this person at some point in their childhood or their life. While clogs were being worn. While clogs were in the peripheral. It could be monumental in a good way or a bad way. Sure. It could have been the first time I ever got my dick sucked or the first time I was ever... sexually abused or whatever it was. I got in a car wreck and I got out and the last thing I saw before I was taking the hospital was a pair of clogs. Yeah, the only way I could finish is a wooden sole come a-clanking down the hallway. I was at Community Goods, the new coffee shop. Shout out to DJ Pedro. And friend of the show, Luca Sabat, pulled up. I didn't know he was a friend of the show. He's a friend of the program. Okay. He was wearing these new Balenciaga clogs that are the full... They look like a giant oversized classic wooden Danish clog. Okay. But the Balenciaga twist, they're fucking rubber. Okay. And he was wearing them and I was like... Nothing matters anymore. I didn't want to bring it up, but I was kind of like, I hate to say this, but they look kind of cool on them. Okay. Were they like overly... kind of like the big red Mario shoe? No, they're not that crazy. The Metroid shoe? They're not that crazy, but they're definitely oversized. But I think Luca has them in all the flavors because they come in multiple colors. So somewhere in between the mischief red Metroid shoe and maybe a Jill Sander clogged flat. Yeah, they're not. They look crazy more because of the point.

37:44-39:46

They come to such a point and they really are meant to exactly mimic the classic Danish claw. It feels like something that if we worked at Disneyland or a theme park and you had to wear this kind of oversized animated looking footwear. It's not something I think I could pull off. Not all folks can, probably. But, you know, when he rolls up, you know, smoking a cig, getting out of the... Lucas about can pull any look off, unfortunately. Suburban, wearing, like, a whole outfit with all his, like, jewels on and being like, let me get a $10 matcha. It's a, you know... When the twink Lenny Kravitz pulls up, we say, how can I help you? But I was very impressed. But I told him, I was like, bro, you're really working. Those clogs are really working for you. He looks great. I had beef with him because a couple years ago he said, who wears jeans? What kind of loser wears jeans still? He just came for jeans. I said, bitch, I don't care. Don't come for jeans. I wasn't even taking that as a low-key shot at you. How can my head not go there? Are you saying that when Luca was coming for Levi's, he was really coming for DJ Them Jeans? Is it possible? Do you guys have any history? It could be. No, no, no. I may have met him once or something, but no, we have no history. I don't think he was trying to hit a stray at me. He pulls up. He's a Hestia guy. Oh, really? Yeah. Hestia is getting everywhere. He's been smoking the Hestias. I've seen it a couple times. Hestia hit me up. He was like, yo. We got to get Matty Healy smoking Hestias on SNL. I was like, I bet you do, Chief. So, Matty, if you're listening right now and you want some cigs, hit me up. I'll send a couple cartons over to the flat. I wonder if they're going to have room on SNL. I wonder if he's going to have the full grand piano so he can sit his accoutrement up. It depends on what songs they play, I guess. Do you think he'll eat beef on SNL? I think he can't.

39:47-42:05

He can't. Like, I think it's like... Like NBC Legal will shut it down. No, no, no, no. I just think it's been too publicized. There has to be something new under his flouncy sleeve. Like a different cut? Like maybe... No, I think a whole different thing. Like Hanger? I think a whole different thing. SNL's a little tight, too. You only got so much time up there. And 1975 is big, but they ain't getting three songs. They're getting two. No, of course not. Nobody gets three songs unless you're yonce. Yeah, people have gotten three. Paul McCartney gets or something like that. Paul McCartney. They love Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney and Simon. Kim Petras didn't get three songs. Simon and Garfunkel could do the whole hour. It's all good. They really go back with our dog. Yeah, but I. So, yeah, Matty, if you send me a message, I'll link you guys up so you can smoke cool cigarettes on television. I would like you to smoke on TV. That'd be good. Yeah, they'll let that happen. I think, honestly, smoking on TV is so crazy these days that that's almost equal to eating raw meat on live television. You know what I mean? I mean, Chappelle smoked on SNL. Yeah, of course. The last time he was there, so there we go. Maddie Healy and Dave Chappelle, they're both kind of similarly viewed by the public eye right now, so it makes sense for him to do that, doesn't it? Also, now I'm talking about that, I'm deeply craving a steak. This is not a joke. I just really... I just need a sizzling steak in my mouth. I want to ask you about this popular... This is good because of timing. I wanted to ask you about the popular dish of steak and eggs. It's not that popular. I feel like I see it places, though. I'm saying I feel like it's still... Are you at IHOP? What's going on? No, I think it's like a throwback that I could see making... Coming back. I feel like it could come back. That's why I wanted to say this because it feels heavy, but it must be delicious. It feels heavy on paper, but also it's... It's Whole30 and it's keto. It's grain-free and gluten-free. Have you had it before? Nothing but protein. I'm sure I have. I don't think I've ever gone to a restaurant and ordered steak and eggs. Yeah. But, I mean, if you just eat steak and eggs and, like, a salad every day, like, that's a great diet. My question is to you, what is the – because the eggs obviously aren't – it's not avo toast. The eggs aren't on top. They're just on the side. Probably, yeah. You know? You can do a mix and dip.

42:05-44:25

Well, I was going to ask, would you dip a bite of your steak into the runny yolk? Absolutely. Okay, you would. And that flavor, those flavors work together? I think they would be just fine, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the egg yolk doesn't have a ton of flavor. It's going to be stepped on by the flavor of beef. Okay. Yeah, it'll be more of an unctuous mouthfeel. I can't wait to take you to Denny's and kind of cop up. I ain't going to Denny's. Where would they have that in a gourmet style? Probably like a hotel. Maybe that Clark Street Diner. Oh, yeah, you're right. They probably got it there. Salt's Cure, they probably got a good version there where they, like, cook the eggs and beef fat, and it got a bunch of, like, very coarsely ground black pepper on that. Yeah. Sounds good. But eating like that every day, you're going to have a lot of acid reflux and burps and all kinds of stuff. Of course, of course. I mean, it'll help your PR. Yeah, I mean, last week I did the juice cleanse, and I did a couple days, like Whole30. I felt so good. Like, just not eating grains for a couple days. I mean, I don't even know what Whole30 is, really. Besides a trend I see on Instagram for one month. It's basically no dairy, no grains, and no added sugars. Can I ask you where I'm getting a lot of grain in my diet? So grains are like, and also no legumes. So no beans, no rice, no bread. No chips, no crackers. So you're just eating meat, basically. Well, meat, vegetables, and fruit. Okay. So they're okay with sugars. Interesting. Well, sugars that are naturally occurring are okay. Okay. But anything that has added sugars to it. And also nothing that's like deep fried. Like you can eat a potato, but better to have it be boiled or something versus like. Layla Gohar style versus. Yeah, go Gohar style versus. Carl's Jr. style. I always try to do that as an approach to life if I have to choose a style. I love cooking within those rules and restrictions because it makes it kind of fun and you can stumble upon a new thing that is actually good and healthy. I'll still eat some dairy, obviously, but just removing grain, any rice or bread or anything like that, you just...

44:25-46:40

The body, the bloating goes down so quickly. That makes sense. Because I carry a lot of water weight, Chris. Is that what you tell yourself? In addition to fat. Yeah. I also wanted to discuss my trip to the new location of Supreme, Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On opening day in the old Tower Records building. The old Tower, a legendary building. That's where Elton John would go buy vinyls, go buy records every single week. No, it's really nice, obviously. But I learned something there about streetwear culture that I wasn't aware of when I was talking to, because I was with Tim and Tim's obviously buddies with some of the hot skaters that work there. I keep getting older and they keep staying the same age. Honestly, McConaughey vibes. And I was like, what's up? Why do all these guys in here have little pieces of paper? Like what's going on? Like a post-it note? A little bigger than that, like a small legal pad style. Like one of those over there. Exactly, yeah. And I'm like, what's up with that? And he's like, oh, it's for the lists. I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, oh, the guys that come in here every week and buy Supreme write down, they just write down all the stuff they want before they get in. and they come up to the front and hand us the list, we get everything from the back to just kind of make the process smoother. Amazing. And I was like, so these guys, you're literally just printing money all day. You don't have to talk to these fucking mouth breathers. They come up to you, hand you a list with 10 things on it. You got guys in the back that bring it out. You ring them up, they leave, and you just keep it rolling. And it's good because Supreme really sets that intimidating precedence to these versional cuck, incel, streetwear buyers where if I go into a clothing store and I'll see a garment that's folded on the table, I'll pick it up and hold it up to me and be like blah, blah, blah. But at Supreme, I am not unfolding a shirt. And they set the vibe in there like do not unfold that shirt.

46:40-48:55

If you're in here buying a t-shirt, you know what it looks like. You know what size you wear. So there's no reason. It's very soup Nazi. It's very you walk in one medium Kurt Cobain shirt, one grip tape and one hat. One size fits all one grip tape. And then you do three side shuffle steps to the left. Here's my mom's Amex cart. Yeah. And have a good day, sir. Well, that's what I wanted to say, though. While I was there, I couldn't leave empty-handed, and there was something that kind of caught my eye. As a person, I like to give gifts year-round to the people in my life because it's just something that I feel passionate about. I've had my eye on that sequined jacket. The jacket's nice. Tim, I was like, Tim, what's up, bro? Shut up. The cost per wear on that item is tough. Unless you're Jim Jones, it's not wise. Harlem stand-up. But I was able to purchase this T-shirt you guys may have seen of, Kurt Cobain. It's a Kurt Cobain photo. I believe from Unplugged. It is. From MTV's Unplugged. And then it says Supreme underneath it. It comes in countless flavors. I didn't want to go with red. That felt too loud. So I was able to get an XL black for Jason. Because you know how you guys listen to the show. You know how Jason's always talking shit. I can pull anything off. I'm wearing Uggs. I'm wearing Yeezys. I got a Supreme poncho. I wore Uggs to Shintaro last night. I still got my hug. Where my hug at? He said, right here. He said, so he's so confident in himself that I've decided to kind of start taking it upon myself to add some challenges to the mix and kind of participate in this to make you stronger. Okay, this is like, you know, when you're doing your fitness training with Hunter and you're like, okay, I'm going to bounce on one foot and hold a kettlebell and then Hunter's behind you throwing the medicine ball at you and you have to adjust really quick? That's what we're doing here. Yeah, yeah. I'm holding a broomstick over my head, and he's tapping it, and I have to do these micro-adjustments really quick. Same thing with my fashion and my dressing. And obviously, when we go to the W Magazine Performance of the Year gala this weekend at the Chateau Marmont, I'll be rubbing elbows with Angelina Jolie. The list goes on. And I will wear that Supreme shirt. See, this is the problem. I realize I bring it upon myself. You want to play games with me, bitch? Exactly. We'll play.

48:55-51:02

I don't want to play. And you know what? And Owen Wilson is going to be like, that's a sharp look. He's going to like it. Okay. So there's nothing. Sabrina Claudio is going to be like, oh, that's so cute. I love Nirvana. La música de Nirvana. I just don't. Como se dice, rate me. I was just so, I just saw it, and I was like, I have to get this for Jason. He's a Kurt Cobain apologist. They don't have a Courtney Love one, which is what I would obviously want to buy. Dude, if next year, Spring Summer 24, the Courtney Love collection for Supreme. Well, you know what else they came out with? From my mouth to God's ears. I was going to buy it for you, but it's too much money, is the pot. The pot? Like the fake Le Creuset, whatever the brand is. Oh, oh, oh, the red cooking vessel. I'm sure it's not fake. It's something nice. Yeah, yeah. I think it's not a Le Creuset. It's the other one. It's the other one. It's not Staud. Yeah. It's something like that, though. Like, damn, Staud making cookware now, too? Does she do it all, bro? Yeah, I saw her collection at Bloomy's. Ooh. Sure does it all, but they released a video today promoting that with Danny Bowen as the chef. In the video. And I thought to myself. Big Bowen. I thought to myself. The only Bowen I like. I thought to myself. I don't even like him that much. I thought to myself. What? Like. Either get like a hot line cook that's nobody. Or get like. Padma Lakshmi. Or a legend. Or like an OG. Like Jacques Pepin. Yeah. Like. Because they can get Jacques Pepin. They can get whoever they want. Don't get the downtown guy with no restaurant. right right right i don't get it i mean he looks crazy so like i understand that he's got all the tats and like you know he's got a look so it like looks nice on camera when he's chopping right i was just surprised at that choice i agree with that shoot for the stars like i don't know who that is but i was just surprised at that choice i mean you know we don't know how it works

51:02-53:16

Behind closed doors over at LVMH. They just write a check usually, and it's kind of fine. Well, maybe this is someone's fault who works at Supreme, and maybe they should consult with me for their culinary partnership programs. I mean, imagine Guy Fieri holding that pot on a T-shirt. I'm thinking more. You just made $11 million in one day. I'm thinking more like, let's bring April Bloomfield back. You know, let's bring April. Bloomfield? No. Let's give a platform to someone who is wrongly cast away. Cast iron. What? Supreme. I'm going to make a shepherd's pie in my supreme. Can you do the Nirvana thing again? No. I won't just dance when you tell me to dance. No, I mean, a Jacques Pepin or something would be amazing. Eric Repair, you know, after he's done with his J.Crew contract, maybe we can get him over there. We'll have to take a look at that and see if he's available. We've become close. It's a little unfortunate that I was not on set for that. I mean, my brother is like, oh, J.Crew, Eric Repair, fly fishing. Why didn't you get the call? And I was like, yeah. Well, your friend of the show, Mac, styled that yeah he sent me the day of he sent me behind the scenes mac knows mac's a much better fly fisherman than i am i'm a better cook than him mac sent me a video of him and repair doing like eating oysters like fresh out of the water and i was like bro this is sick he's like it's my first oyster ever yeah he told me that too i was like it's your first i was like your first oyster ever was harvested by some bullshit repair i'm like that's that's goat next time i'm in new york i gotta go to lay burn Is it time? Yeah, I need to pay $9 million for a fucking razor clam. What about the lunch that Gabe was talking about? I'll do that. Lunch for $120 is reasonable. I don't do lunch in New York, but I'll try. I'll go with you. I'd like to go. All right. Did you see the video when they got the four stars and he's just in the kitchen spraying champagne on the whole staff? Hell yeah. He's got his Kobe Bryant goggles on. He's got the Dom just spraying it on his entire staff. They're going to have to be like...

53:16-55:30

That was fun, chef. And then they have to scrub it down all night. Of course. Of course. That's the best part. Repair is old enough to be like, yeah, clean it up, dumbass. And they're like, sir, yes, sir. Yes, sir. I watched the same people that did the tennis show. There's a golf show. And obviously golf is boring as hell. But I watched it last night. And unfortunately, it's better than the tennis version. I can see that. I'm not going to watch either. The golfers are rich and kind of, like, drunk. And they're friends. And it shows them, like, these two guys who grew up together, one is, like, one more majors than the other. And I knew both of them, like, their names. Like, that's how big they are in Oklahoma golf. But they're, you know, probably 30. DeCaro Dan made a great joke. No golfer should ever be seen with his hat off, which is very true when you watch the show. It is a bald man sport. It's not even bald. It's just, like. balding, but also just like, oh, you guys aren't worried about your hair. Right, you get a little, there's a little wind. Because the title is half pulled low, you know what I mean? So these guys are, they're like playing, they take a private plane to play like a warm-up round at the same course the PGA Championship is happening, and they're betting on every shot. Every shot. They're like, birdie, 200 bucks. Like, they have this whole thing, and I'm like, this is why this is interesting. It's because these guys are young and rich. They're like, Gambling addict. They're just gambling. They're drinking beer on the PJ. They live in Jupiter, Florida by choice. It's good. But one thing that surprised me, and I'm on the record as a golf hater, shows them in the gym, they're getting it the fuck in. There's a golf trainer guy who I really want to go train with now that's also probably in some part of Florida where Tiger Woods has had sex with all the local waitresses. And it's just like... It's just like they're doing wild TJ-style shit. Like a lot of banded, like explosive, you know, like to help. Because this guy specifically trained them for golf. But they're in there getting it in. I was very impressed. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they're doing all kinds of swings and isometric blah-biddy-blahs and stuff like that. Because even though you hold the golf club with your hands.

55:30-57:42

A lot of the swing actually comes from the legs and the hips. Well, they're doing all kinds of stuff with their hips, and then you see them at home with, like, one guy's got, like, the fucking foddy influencer girlfriend in a giant house, and he's, like, she's in the other room with the dogs, and he's got, like, his putting coach, and they have, like, a fucking, like, laptop open with, like, a, they're, like, analyzing the putt in his house, and the dog keeps getting the ball. I'm just, like, this is just, you guys have too much money. It almost feels like a, like a spinal tap. style like does like spoof monkey like there's no way this can be real life but it's like they all i don't it's it's it there's a little more camaraderie than i expected you know what i mean there's a little more like we because it's the same thing with all sports like this like if you you start so young and you know what you're destined for by the time you're 10 years old if you're this good. So it's like you've been playing each other your whole lives and you become friends. It's similar to like a celebrity experience where it's like only we understand this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I also think it's a little more camaraderie because even though you are in competition against other people, it's not like direct competition. Like you do your thing alone and then whoever has the best score wins versus tennis. Yeah, you're right. I'm returning your ball that you just hit to me. And it's a little more real in terms of... And I also liked that the same week the show came out, there was a story about Tiger Woods beating someone, a male opponent, and then giving him a tampon as a joke. And people did not like that. I mean, who's the joke on? You're walking around all day with a tampon in your pocket waiting for that moment? I was just like, he had to apologize. I'm like, this is just some locker room stuff. Guys, come on. He's making a little joke. Tiger can't catch it. But Tiger looks... Buff as fuck. Tiger Woods handed me a tampon. I would hit him upside the head so quick. Tiger beats your ass. Tiger's looking swole. Tiger's definitely on the HGH. They ain't testing in golf. They ain't testing Tiger for shit. But also Tiger's one of those kinds of guys where if you fight him, he starts crying during the fight and then he can't turn the switch off. I actually think Tiger Woods is the kind of guy. Never fight guys like that. I think if you punch Tiger Woods, I think he's a cop caller actually. You punch him in the nose and he says, sir.

57:42-1:00:08

He has a guy that kind of takes care of this for him. It's the guy who used to get him pills, but he kind of chill on that. So we've kind of rejigged his kind of position at Tiger Wizard Corporation. I'm sure Tiger's made that phone call where he's like, it happened again. And he's like, what? Which one? Do I have to dispose of a body? Are you saying that Rory McElroy flicked my ear again on the 17th tee? It happened again. All right, is she still breathing? But it's more... It's more compelling. So far, it's more compelling than a tennis show. I'll watch it. It's good. It's better than Marc Maron's stand-up, I'll tell you that. Come on, bro. It's good. It's good. But now that I have YouTube TV, which I've stolen from Decatur Dan after watching the Super Bowl at my house, the sky's the limit. I have YouTube TV as well, and the only thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't... Still plays commercials? No, I don't care about that. I love commercials. It's basically like if you go to a new zip code, it won't work. Like when I go to New York, they're like, you're out of your home area because of all the blackouts and how cable works. So it's like it only works when you're at home, which is like the whole point of streaming services is they work anywhere. I don't know if there's a workaround for that. I mean, I think with sports and shit. It used to be Amazon had the fire stick, and that would just be a USB dongle that travels with you. I think there should be a YouTube stick. Great idea. We're done here. But, yeah, I mean, that's the whole point. It's like, hey, I'm on the go. I travel. But I'm glad you stole that because it is, I mean, I started to think about it. I watched an episode of Ina Garten this morning on a Sunday. It puts me at ease. I was trying to figure this out. Like, what is the actual, like, I think it's the only way to do it normally is to have regular cable. I think that's the only way it will actually work everywhere. Because then you would log into, like, your specs. You have to, like, all this stuff is all pointless. I definitely spend more money to not watch things on 10 streaming services than I would to have cable, which is all I really want to watch. Yeah, there's something about having both, though. I don't know what. Like, I like having the option to be on demand as well as flipping through live television because there's something very comforting about flipping through live TV, like in a hotel, and then, like, some movie that's okay enough.

1:00:08-1:02:22

It's like 11 minutes in, and you can just bop in, and Face Off is now playing, or whatever it is. I would never do that, but I know what you mean. In terms of the decision fatigue, it's nice to submit to whatever's playing. To submit to the powers of a spectrum cable. Yeah, roll over. Start hitting. I don't use it as much as I should because of these issues that I have, but I'm glad that you've kind of uncovered, unlocked a new entertainment portal. Oh, yeah, baby. I forgot what else I was going to say. We have some hats from our London show. Our hat manufacturer said that we have some extras. Yeah, I truly looked at that text and didn't understand anything that happened, but there's hats. He accidentally made like 50 extra hats, or like the manufacturer did. He was like, hey, do you want these? Do you want these hats? And I was like, well, we weren't planning on selling them, but. I was like, no, I'd like you to destroy them. If you could burn them, that'd be great. I can't really have that kind of get into TJ Maxx. So if you could help me out. But I said, we'll put them up on the website. So I think I'll do that today when that's on. So yeah, if you're listening to this right now, we have, I don't know, like 70 or 80 hats or something like that. Snatch them up before they're gone. Because everyone in London was like, I don't want to be reminded of the fucking subway I take every day. And then everyone in America is like, oh, Sue, cut. So everyone in America can buy them. Or anywhere in the world, unless Russia. We ship globally at How Long Gone LLC, just to be clear. Unless it is Russia. I think that's it in terms of house cleaning updates. I don't know if I have anything else. Hopefully we should have a big pod coming up on. Oh, yeah, unless they cancel, it's going to be good. I mean, shit is popping right now. Mm-hmm. New album in stores. Don't jinx it. I'm not. We want new albums in stores. What are you going to do for the rest of the day? Me? I just hit my edible and I got to go to the gym before. I already went to the gym. Too soon. I don't know. I'll just waste time until Monday comes around where I can actually have some joy in my life because there's action. Damn, action.

1:02:22-1:04:30

I mean, I don't know. I had a big day yesterday. We went to Luna Luna, and then we went to Maru with Sam Jane. I just had a big day. Oh, Jesus. Maru downtown on a Saturday was popping. Can't do it. I don't get it. There's like a line out the door on a Saturday afternoon. Of course. But why are you downtown? There's nothing there. Why are you downtown? I had a reason to be there. I went to go do something. I'm saying there's not like... People go downtown. Also, a lot of people live downtown. And that's the only community they have, is Amaro. It was so... They have like five baristas working. It was like so insane. They're printing money. They are printing money. Good for them. Yeah, we had to go to the store in the back, Departamento. Departamento? Yeah. You had to? Yeah. Who dragged you in there? No, I mean, we wanted to look. They have good stuff, but the design of the place is too fucking disorienting. It's too abstract for you. It's literally like a funhouse vibe. If I'm paying $1,000 for a fucking pair of pants, I don't want a funhouse. Look, I just came from a streetwear carnival. Do not show me a funhouse. Do not show me a funhouse. I'm done. It looks like stage design. It's good. They have a lot of good stuff that you can't really see in LA. I can't shop in that kind of environment. I went shopping yesterday. We had a great Orange County day. Dropped the dogs off with the parents. We smoked some weed and ate pho. And then went to Amory's and I got talked into buying the row trousers. Jason spent more money on this pair of pants than I've ever heard him spend on anything. No way. I just got two custom suits. That shit taxed my little ass. Yeah, but you don't have a choice. This is like something you're not going to wear. This is an elective purchase. This is different than where you were. So did you make any friends at Amory's with the Republican owners? Same friends. Same friendship. Did you drink? I did not drink. Did they want you to?

1:04:30-1:06:41

It wasn't on the table, no. Really? But I did a shared dressing room with Carolyn. Have you ever done that? No. Too fun. Huh? No, you've never done that? No. I don't want to do that. You might accidentally see a titty, huh? No, I'm just like, a dressing room is only, like, I just want to get out as fast as possible. I did get out as fast as possible when I was done making my decision. I'm surprised that they let you do that there of all places. They suggested it. Because whenever I've noticed in Newport Beach or any type of Newport Beach where rich moms and dads who day drink and don't really have much going on, so they'll just go hang out at the store, they're very into the dressing room area is a little bit of a fun zone where we can be... naughty, where somebody who's 65 might leave the door open a little bit, and maybe a stranger might see me changing out of my evening gown or something. So are you saying that maybe somebody caught you in your CKs? No, maybe somebody wanted me to catch them. But this also stems from my history of working at the fitting rooms in Newport Beach at Fashion Island. At the Anthro store. You're saying that you would take a peek when somebody was trying on one of those ugly Perry dresses? Is that what you're saying? I'm not saying that. I'm saying, like, the drunk wine moms would kind of, like, when you're, like, in the dressing room area, like, you release the inhibitions. Oh, I see, like, oh, you come out and, like, you're like, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think about this? And you're covering your breasts with only your arm because the. Yeah, stuff like that. Stuff like that. It's, like, a much more kind of sexually open. You know, because maybe they're not having those encounters ever. Who knows? And it's definitely not happening in front of house. No, no, definitely not. I'm surprised you didn't drink. I am too. It's because I was already high. Zero calories. I love drinking and driving, but I don't want to do it when it's a fucking hour.

1:06:41-1:09:00

You know what I mean? Well, then the buzz wears off. If it's nine minutes, that's fine. And you're just drunk and hungover driving, which is not really that fun. Yeah, if I just have to bop over Forest Lawn at 11.45. Honestly, dude. No problemo. Honestly, I haven't drank in a long time. Drinking and driving on Forest Lawn, that's a movie. Best street. We have an understanding with the police that we're going to do some stuff over here. We being the community. No, just drunk drivers and the police. That's a no-fly zone. It's like a gang truce. We should talk to the police and see if they agree with that. Go for it. They'll be like, what up, big TT? My man. You got a Bud Light in there? You toss a Bud Light to the cop with the fucking radar out. Mm-hmm. Forest Lawn's an amazing driving street, so I can only imagine what's ramped up after a couple of Sun June hard seltzers. Yeah. Or June Sun. A couple of June Shine. June Shine. My fucking Yuzu Kabocha melon. We went to this party. We went to this freeze party that was like a Gaetano Pesci. The stuff was pretty cool, but it was a very weird party. Gaetano Pesci. Every LA party during something like this just feels like, where did all of these nerds crawl from? It's people I've never seen. It's like Summit. They're like, oh, hit the drinks in the back of the El Camino. Did they turn an El Camino into a wet bar? Oh, no, no, no, no. The El Camino. Obviously, El Camino is a classic car that has a bed like a truck. It's a hybrid car truck. It's the original hybrid. So they filled that with ice and then stuffed it full of beverages. The only drinks available at this party were in a can. Okay, this is giving like... Bass player in Queens of the Stone Age's wedding. I got this vintage Camino. We threw a tarp down first. Alex gets this drink. She's just like, it's like a canned rosé that looks like it's paint. It's like nail art, like the can design. Then there's a canned wine. Of course, there's some hard seltzers and liquid death, of course. But I'm like, so this activation is at a...

1:09:00-1:10:51

$8 million house in the Hollywood Hills celebrating one of the most inventive designers and furniture makers who's a 90-year-old Italian guy, and you're giving me a hard seltzer in a can. You know? Yeah, it's bad. But I feel like that's the only people. I don't blame that on anyone. I think the only people who are giving away free booze for events now, that's all you got. Yeah. I mean, they sort of... It's no one's fault. They've syndicated open bars where it's like, here you go. You can have it if you want it, but it's kind of like. It's like, oh, great. A cold sake and a carbonated sake in a can. Sick. It's great if you're at like the cornhole quarterfinal internationals in Tampa or whatever, like many different activations. That's a great idea. But not a place where millions of dollars worth of parts could be bought and sold. It's just a surprising twist where it's like, oh, but they did have a Pure Beauty weed bar. Okay, I'm back. I was like, why is everybody smoking weed in this corner? I know it's L.A., but I was like, oh, they're just rolling. They had every flavor out. And there's a bud tender. Every runt available? They had a bud tender with little kitchen-style tweezers to hand you the Pure Beauty mini joint. Can I inspect this flower? That was impressive. I haven't seen that at a party before. Welcome to Cali, baby. Legalize it. That's a good idea. How Long Gone? Thank you guys for listening. Chris is back in L.A. When do you leave? I don't know, man. We don't even know. But yeah, go on How Long Gone's website if you want to buy one of those hats from London. That's right. And then let's keep our fingers crossed our guest doesn't cancel this week. And we hope you guys have a happy, healthy, awesome life. If you live in Ohio, keep... Keep fighting.
