820. - Chris & Jason

31:38Jason Stewart:What did Selena do? Did she add a little hot sauce to it or something? No, even better, a horchata. Oh, that's smart. It's good. I mean, Alex said it tasted like a Dunkaroo, and then I couldn't untaste that. which is a really astute observation. And really smart because Oreo is like, all right, we're going to call it the Selena Gomez horchata Oreo cookie. And then they're like, all right, how are we going to make it? And then they go, just add some cinnamon. Yeah, literally. All right, we're done. They did know it's a custom cookie. Like it has Selena Gomez on the outside. You know, her name is on it.

32:15Jason Stewart:Sure, sure, sure. On each individual cookie. But yeah, they were delicious, I have to say. I don't know if I'm going to seek them out, but they were good. I feel like we are close to being able to create our own custom bespoke Oreos the way that we can do it with the M &Ms. You know what I mean? Sure. Yeah. What was the Nike thing? Nike ID. The Nike ID for Oreos is coming. The Nike ID. I mean, just imagine, let's say your friend's favorite band is Crass, and you just get the 12-pack of Crass logo Oreos right on there. That would look stunning, wouldn't it? That is really good. That's really good.

32:52I got you. Hey, Chris Chang, it's your birthday. I got you some crass Oreos. Right? What a treat. That's a good idea. I think that I do wonder how, because the M &M, when that first came out, I did it immediately and put my face on M &M's immediately, like the week at launch. First day out. Yeah, this is the coolest shit I've ever seen. I mean, at this point, it's probably like 15 years ago, 20 years ago, maybe. but that's still available right like we can still go online and order m &ms with our face on them oh 1000 or whatever message you want hlg of course of course ceo yes ceo hard pack of peanuts green only i wonder yeah i wonder if you can do can you do peanut now because i feel like originally you could only do you can only do the the ogs but i want peanut they're like we tried to do peanut but they're just simply too uh oblong bumpy you know sometimes because when you throw in the the a wild card of peanut shape it's very tough to to plan for that as far as printing goes yeah i mean

33:51Jason Stewart:there it's an organic material that god created each one is different and special in their own way snowflake of the nut world organic material going back yeah shorty had that organic material going back to chick-fil-a i was um friend of the show bad bunny he had his first show of his tour I think in his hometown. Is it PR or DR? Is it Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic? I don't know. I think PR. I think. I've got my best guys on this. Let me see. He's known as the king of Latin trap, which I had not heard before. But yeah, he's Puerto Rico. I was correct. Latin trap. Sorry, I'm just texting you a photo.

34:36Jason Stewart:I had chat GPT make me a crass Oreo, and it looks pretty good. Oh, Crass Oreo looks banging. It looks nice, doesn't it? There's some other round logo iconography. Yeah, for sure. Hey Siri, who got the roundest logo? We could work in a Black Flag Bars, I think, if we wanted to. Guilt-free Duncan. Okay, well, anyway, Bad Money's doing his first show, the tour. He famously said, no dates in America because there's no reason to, which is pretty funny and pretty cool. Very cool. I like it because he's like, hey, I don't speak English and I don't want to. I don't give a fuck. I'm so big, I don't have to.

35:14He's like, I'll still steal your bitch in Calabasas and I don't even need to speak English.

35:17Jason Stewart:How cool is that? It's very cool. I mean, I guess it's also cool that enough Spanish-speaking people live in the world to where they're like, no, we're good. We don't need English. We don't need that. Thank God I'm bilingual. Anyway, but Bunny, he was up in there with LeBron and everyone was having a good time. But the thing that I really liked about his show, we were talking to Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 about the stage and the pyro and the fireworks and explosions. Bad Bunny, he's got his stage set up to sort of look like a South American forest or a jungle. Nice. He's going rainforest cafe mode.

35:56Jason Stewart:He's going rainforest. Rainforest. But he had live chickens roaming around on the stage as props, which is bittersweet. Because he's got a damn six-piece leg and thigh running around on stage. Don't call Kendall Jenner that, bro. That's rude. She's a successful businesswoman. I'm sorry. Continue. And I'm glad that we are giving jobs, union work to these animals in need. But I feel like the sound issue is potentially abusive to these animals. and I'd love to see these little roosters with the shooting range earmuffs on to control. You know, like when you bring your baby to see the apple seed cast.

36:49All right, sweetheart. Put on your airport headphones. We're going to the Jade Tree 25th anniversary concert. So Bad Bunny, I just want to understand. So Bad Bunny has the stage set up like he's in the rainforest, and he's got wild, real chickens running around to kind of make it feel very realistic. He's really putting the work in. It's a nice touch. It's a very nice touch. That's very cool. And Bad Bunny is one of my favorite artists that I will never listen to and don't care about at all, but I'm really happy how successful and cool he is. Propel Fitness Water.

38:43Jason Stewart:And I feel like in about 10 years, it'll come around, and I will finally understand it and appreciate it. Get that Duolingo going now. Much like Justin Bieber. much like Bieber he's kind of slowly wearing me down to where I'm like you know what I can't help but stun there's an accent mark over the A in stun I cannot help yeah the Bieber thing I've been getting a lot of messages about Justin Bieber from friends you know like what did you listen to and I just was like it just literally sounds like McGee and Dijon with him trying to be Michael Jackson and that kind of works sometimes you know what I mean it's not it's not bad I don't know So it does feel like it's a moose-bouche to something that might hit a little harder.

39:26But then you see the streaming numbers and he's fucking, you know, he's destroying. It's crazy.

39:30Jason Stewart:I mean, he's a talent. I mean, he was in the studio with McGee and Dijon like a year ago. And I remember when the McGee album came out, I was like, oh, this shit sounds a lot like Justin Bieber. It would be cool if he just made music with Justin Bieber. Obviously, McGee's ass was listening. I'm just kidding. I can't take any credit for it, but I think it works out well. I think that his vocalizing over that kind of music is a nice amuse-bouche. It scratches the Frank Ocean itch that many people other than you seem to have. I think swag has more swag than Frank Ocean, if I'm keeping it 100. I don't think people will disagree with that.

40:12I'm never going to listen to it again, but I listened to it all the way through a couple times, and I was like, all right, this is cool. This is cooler than it needs to be. But I saw that Scooter Braun, enemy of the state, said that this is like the most, he's like, this is the most authentic Justin Bieber record that has ever been made and released. Don't come crawling back, Scooter. I'm like, yeah, that's because he's smoking dust with some freaks in a studio in Burbank. That's why, that's because that's the real him.

40:37Jason Stewart:That's because if he's not, you know, drinking Pinot Noir with Lil B. Yeah. He's hanging out with McGee's friend who has one of those headlamps and a soldering iron. He's up since four in the morning soldering a bass pedal onto a plate reverb. Yeah, they go to do a fucking blunt rap run and Justin Bieber gets in McGee's friend's Subaru and he's never been in a car like that in his life. He's like, what the fuck is this? I don't understand. This car works? You people have to drive? hold on i have a sprinter with a with a fucking butane lighter installed in it why don't you guys get on my level i have no climate control from the backseat at all wow okay uh okay we'll figure it out um so i think it works out well the other thing that i the the thing that i'm enjoying about swag is he's not really trying to appeal to any particular group whereas that's where drake seems to be failing right now so you don't think you don't think that justin bieber is is sort of like pandering to a pitchfork cool guy audience you think he's just it's it's more general interest well i would say that if he's pandering in any direction it's with black people i think that he is showing his true soul and flavor on this record and a reason why or something that reminded me of that or made me start thinking that is i was listening to the to the album carolyn's in the car she's like i don't know and i'm i'm kind of you know some songs are skipping some of them i'm like you mean you're because your cd has a scratch or you're saying you're you're choosing to skip them because they're not doing it my bluetooth cassette was having playback issues once the battery starts i know i know not dying all the way but it starts getting low it starts getting low but you know some songs carolyn would be like you know like when you do the car test or the girlfriend test or the wife test where you're like you're playing a song i'm sure you do it with alex where you're like i don't i don't i don't you know when you're testing out all of your tracks for the weekend gigs yeah anyway um but like you'll be you'll be in the car listening to music and you'll be listening to a song and appreciating this pavement b-side for whatever twang or tone of the third guitar play whatever it is and then you'll put on some other random song and it could be any genre but you'll just see somebody like alex who's more in tune with their physical body comes from a dancing background sure and you just see it's it's just more you know not to be sexist but it's more of a female trait and quality to be able to appreciate the true rhythm and beat i think that's true of music i think that's true i think that's true i'm i'm appreciating a a pedal steel solo i'm not kind of appreciating the full package the way i should yeah and as me as a dj my whole career is like if you can get girls dancing then of course you know free your mind and the rest will follow everything is good to go at that point but i was i was listening to the justin and i found myself doing kind of you know when the drummer at church is like a little too good at drumming and they get in the pocket so it was like that gospel like oh really interesting like subtle and restrained fill patterns you know what i mean that only like a real good like black church drummer can do i find i found myself mimicking those drum fill patterns or obviously at least trying to on my steering wheel of course you don't have to tell me about air drumming chief okay that is that you don't have to tell me one thing about i'm the bird to your jordan in terms of uh disrespecting the the trim package on uh on a steering wheel beat the brakes off that hoe you are the amount of times that you've had to put your hand up because you accidentally honked the car in front of you no so sorry oh no i'm just listening to alkaline i'm so you get it there i go again you've heard alkaline trio right you you've heard this right the drums are amazing on this one yeah i was just i'm listening to queens of the stone age the record where dave grohl did yeah yeah you got it what part of the steering wheel is your crash what part of the steering wheel is actually i don't i i take it off i what i do and this is this is i don't think this is i'm the first person to do this but i might be the best person to do this is the car the steering wheel is guided by my knee and i'm playing the full kit in the air oh we're not tapping no i'm going from hi-hat to china to ride to crash to floor tom but it's all in the air there's no haptic touch whatsoever there's no haptic touch exactly there's no haptic touch i think the haptic touch actually limits my skills because i'm not i'm not playing a huge kit but i've got everything i need i'm not stewart copeland you know i don't i don't have stuff behind me i don't have any auxiliary percussionists in the car it's usually just me and if i can get in the pocket it's not it's not like a little jazz trio tiny kit you've got a few more exactly things to play with a few just a few more thank you to my sponsors you know i'm a big i'm a zildjian guy since day one so i've been able to kind of explore the package you know and i'm i have to do that in my own way we leave the rotos at home for this one though yeah exactly okay yeah So, I mean, well, I prefer every car will have a good spot on the floor where the brake or gas is, where you can get a good kind of kick drum tone going.

46:27Oh, your kick drum. I thought you were going to be, because the real, what I've always wanted to do as an amateur drummer is be able to just keep the time on the hi-hat no matter what I'm doing. You know what I mean?

46:37Jason Stewart:That's your skill challenge? The hi-hat's just constantly clapping perfectly on beat until I need it. You know what I mean? And then I'm back in. But yeah, I understand. I understand that. The kick drum is... Hi-hat is kind of tweaker-y. That means you're drinking a little too much cold brew if you're focusing on the hi-hat. A guy like me, a little more, you know, kind of hung behavior. I'm just... I'm in the pocket. It's kick and snare only. Just let it breathe, baby. You know what I mean? I understand. I understand that. I'm not saying that I'm going to overplay. I'm just saying that I like that sort of tick when a drummer has that.

47:09It makes it feel like something is different. Especially if you have the tambourine sitting on top of the hi-hat for a little extra something.

47:19Jason Stewart:I also like, I mean, I feel like Travis Barker, not to bring it back, but his drum, his kick tone is very similar to a lot of Carr's floorboards. I see. And he's a fun drummer to play along with. Yeah, very fun. And the No Doubt drummer is also another fun one to do. The drum fills on Sunday morning. Oh, yeah. That's it. Exquisite. Exquisite. That is. Okay. How did we get there? We were talking about. Oh, so basically. Bieber. Yeah, the Bieber. It's the kind of music that a very talented church gospel soulful drummer with restraint. Yeah. is able to really... Those people, they're lions in a cage and they never really get the meal that they want.

48:07Jason Stewart:Bieber said, I got half an elk. There's still an eyeball on that. When they're used to eating french fries and shit. Do you think anybody that played on this album Justin Bieber met in church though? Because there's a high probability that this drummer could actually be a church drummer. He said, Hillsong is closed. You guys need to work why don't you come down with me and the boys and we'll cut you in on some real music and what this is really done has set him up to have the greatest tiny desk concert in the world he's gonna say oh clips you're doing the little on the on the desk hold my the school lunch table my unwell hold my unwell elixir i'm gonna about to bring in a lesbian named Shanice that is about to do drum fills that will have the inside of your ass just doing backflips.

49:01I'm waiting for the Bieber. I do appreciate, as we reach rollout fatigue, him just being like, I'm going to rip off the Prada font, put the word swag on black, take some dramatic black and white pictures with Ronell for my album cover, and that's it. And you got it. We're done. And I really appreciate it. Because I think that if you have the audience, you can do that. It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. You don't need videos. You don't need to spend any money. He had billboards and shit. Obviously, they spent money as Justin Bieber. But I'm just saying there's no prelude. There's no pomp and circumstance.

49:43It's like, here's the music. You either like it or you don't. And I respect that.

49:45Jason Stewart:Yeah. When you are that big on his level, you're able to do it. same thing with uh you know chris brown or any of these people who make that kind of music and have that kind of following you just you know whoever his manager is just text the swag album cover to clear channel and be like can you put this up on times square today and they're like here's how much it costs and they're like okay yeah please run the run the program there's no there's no deck presentation there's no q4 rollout strategy it's just like here it is put it up on the screen now i'm very i wonder if if justin's one of those annoying musicians who cares about everything or if he's over the years been beat down and just doesn't give a shit about anything but making the music you know what i mean because you know there's some people that care more about the other stuff which is you know a little uh barking up the wrong tree most of the time but he's been through he's been through it so i'd like i'd like to think that there's there's a fire inside of him and it needs to come out musically i'm happy this is what he came out i think it's cool like whether i listen to it again or not i think it's cool and interesting and anybody at that level doing anything that is a risk is so rare you know and it's i think it's i also think he's got that kind of fan base and this is obviously very desirable for for anyone doing anything but they kind of like they want they want to understand it so they will if that makes sense yes yes yes yes that does make sense i've been you know that's that's me listening to extreme noise records or you know whatever it is like yeah i think i get it yeah i i love lightning bolt um i've i've really i really get this i feel it yeah i think it's i think it's cool i i agree and to your point of of that uh i also like that all these interesting people that we're friends with or tangentially know people who manage them and producers and engineers on the record and musicians and everyone that came in to work on it are gonna get or they're gonna experience what it's like to get paid off of justin bieber's stream splits versus like oh yeah we this we had one that broke a million and you know like spotify check's gonna be almost eight grand this year it's pretty good you know versus like oh let's just here's what happens when you get paid on the Justin Bieber split.

52:04I can't even imagine the difference. I feel like there's Justin Bieber and there's everybody else sort of at that level. There's maybe five people that are true change your life without... Bieber, it'll change your life if you contributed a drum pattern to an album track. It's not even like you have to be the co-writer.

52:23Jason Stewart:Yeah, you did one song on track 17. A little drum part remix. Just bought your mom a house right there, bro. We're good to go. yeah shout out to justin bieber i would love to see you winning and keep smoking whatever you're smoking it's working it's working um keep smoking that pure beauty i've noticed this is sort of the instagram close friends season where all of our friends are popping into p town and upstate here and little conclaves and they're sort of letting the squad know that they're open for business you know what i mean oh yeah i saw somebody i think we're talking about the same person they were letting them know they're open for business and something nice and mesh yesterday and i i appreciated that i appreciate that because i feel like when you go to you know these these fire island places or p towns or i mean whatever in tampa i'm not just talking about gay places but just people who are into seem like you are but i get it tampa tampa throw that in there for for for good measure wherever there may be a ball you know the havasus of the world the tahos the tasnos the you know many parts of arizona where it's like hey this is my favorite bog or bridge or tunnel or tree this is my favorite abandoned pickup truck where i do kind of the bulk of my exhibition sex uh so if you're interested you like what you see drop a pin.

53:56Jason Stewart:I'll give you my coordinates and my hours. Close friends has changed this equation. Find me on the signal. Because it used to be you'd see a guy get to New York post a picture of a cab or a famous building to kind of send out the bat signal. But now with close friends available, you can just do whatever you want. Baltimore, I'm in you. Baltimore, see you tonight.

54:21Who's going to see Dan Deacon tonight?

54:23Jason Stewart:Meet me there. And now it's very similar to, it's funny, like the close friends Instagram, when you open up the phone and you've got the bright glowing green ring around it, it's really like a green light that almost pulls your finger in to hit it. And it's also very similar when you're at the self-checkout line and register number seven just opens up, a little green light, head that way. Maybe I'm getting a little too deep on this one. You are, but I like it. I think green means go, baby. And you can't unlearn that. That's something that is ingrained in us in childhood, or at least at 15, 16 years old when you learn to drive.

55:05Jason Stewart:Yeah. If somebody considers you to be a close friend, it's your duty and just common decency to smash that watch button. What I love about close friends is that it's a lot of people that I am not close friends with that are giving me access to their secret life, which is a fun game, I think, because usually it's just, it's one degree different than what's being posted on the regular. You know, it's not, it's usually. Okay, so you see the green ring come up and you're like, really, huh? Okay, you sure about this? Oh, we worked on that New Balance project 10 years ago, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shit.

55:46Okay, I'll check it out.

55:46Jason Stewart:Yeah, I wonder if people have multiple. Check it out. Oh, it's a picture of a latte. Okay, all right, shit. There we go. I think you can. I think you can have groups too. I think. So you can piece it out however you want. The thought of having it is... I mean, I guess I don't ever have to let the squad know that I'm open for business. But great marketing tool that Close Friends, I'll tell you what. I agree with that. I agree with that. Let's see here. Wait, you're about to say something? Have you watched any of the Lena Dunham show yet? I watched the first episode. okay i haven't watched it yet alex finished it so i'm gonna have to i'm gonna watch it during our exo tour life this weekend i guess okay we're gonna set up we're gonna do screenings one just cancel the hotel rooms we don't need two just one we'll build a fort i'll bring my i'll go to trader joe's get a whole snack pack no we're ordering a pop lay down a towel we're ordering papa john's building a fort i'll bring jammies for both of us and we can just kind to watch watch what mama made okay some part i'm gonna cry and you have to pause it because i don't want to you have to promise me you'll pause it no i've i've been busy watching uh over the weekend i was watching spirited away which is a animated film from 25 years ago because i was hosting a panel discussion last night for a screening with the uniclo and friend of the show care of chan that's great i mean i i hope they paid you well enough to make you watch a 25 year old animated film because that's a that's a hundred thousand dollar deal right there that's a hundred thousand did you watch it on your did you watch it on your apple your your headset your vr or did you do regular there was it was an immersive experience of course that's nice i love an immersive experience uh i watched it in the sauna i watched um who did you talk to i talked to justin chang Pulitzer Prize winning film critic for The New Yorker.

57:46It was just you two. There wasn't anybody else.

57:48Jason Stewart:Just us two. Oh, nice. So it was a guy who knows more about films than anyone in the world. And me, a guy who was like, you know what? If I'm going to host a panel discussion about this movie, I'd better watch it. Well, you're like, dude, this movie's cool, but you like Bill and Ted, right? Like that shit is really my thing. I asked Uniqlo, I was like, do we have to talk about only this movie? Or can we just talk about all the fun movies? Is there other movies we could talk about? Uniqlo Family? I think it's better to watch it right before so it's still fresh on the mind. And it's a beautiful film.

58:25Jason Stewart:It's the number one Japanese film of all time, beating out Titanic and all that shit. It won the Oscar. It's a legendary film. Many people consider it to be a top 10 film of all time. I had to watch a movie recently too. So I had to go to an A24 screening room at 11 a.m. on a Friday. But I did get to watch it alone. So that was kind of a treat. I felt like I was in a rich friend's house in L.A. kind of vibe. Did you feel like you were about to give notes? No. Was it a film that was already completed? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's done. I'm interviewing someone. I'm interviewing the director and writer.

59:11So I had to see it, but I actually really liked it. I really liked it. Can you talk about it? Is this a... Well, yeah, I mean, it was Benny Safdie. It's for a magazine, but he was... It's the new... I can't remember what it's called. It's The Rock is playing kind of this guy. He's sort of like one of the first MMA fighters. Oh, yeah, yeah. And he's addicted to Oxy, and, like, it was really good. I really liked it. Emily Blunt plays his girlfriend.
