830. - Chris & Jason

0:00Jason, we're at the age where we've attended a lot of weddings, not only our own, but friends, family, etc., etc. And the through line, unless they hire you, is shitty music.

0:10Jason Stewart:Yeah, the cross-section of people who can DJ a wedding well and people who are cool, very small. So much that you'd have to throw a dart at a dartboard and hit a bullseye just to find them. And luckily we did, Chris. Thank God. And Dart works with actual musicians and artists, many of whom have their own careers and tour in bands like Leon Bridges, Taylor Swift, The Dare, Sabrina Carpenter. I could go on and on. Dart DJs use vinyl and are cool in a way that your friends would be, not in a dated Vegas performer type of way. And they have an in-house stylist so they don't show up looking like shit.

0:46Shout out to Pete for that one.

0:47Jason Stewart:Dart can do intimate stuff to huge celebrity events as well. Hiring Dart feels like hiring your very talented friend who happens to be a DJ. Dart is for people who actually like music with 14 years in the biz. Tons of experience. I've worked with them. Highly recommended. So if you are getting married or you have any type of cool event going on and you need a good DJ, they got you. Hubs in LA, SF, Austin, New York, Chicago, all over the place. dart like throwing a dart dash collective.com that's d-a-r-t dash c-o-l-l-e-c-t-i-v-e.com email michael at dart-collective.com and tell him that chris and jason from how long gone sent you

1:47How long gone? Chris Black and DJ Them Jeans coming to you live from Copenhagen. Copenhagen.

1:56Jason Stewart:You know the offspring song, Pretty Fly for a white guy? I do know that. The intro of it starts off with a guy saying something in Austrian or something. Really? I didn't know that. It's like, Really? Give it to me, baby. wow you're hitting the you're hitting the note you're making dexter look bad well dexter noodles dexter's fresh hey chill bro dexter's fresh on the mind i was watching some dumb video like inside the studio session with like producers and mix and down engineers and it was it was the offspring and it was the guy not the offspring the mastermind behind their sound the architect if you will and he it was funny because he sings in a very high pitch squeal already you know he has like a yeah that's his natural like he's always screaming in a high pitch and then the guy who was recording them was like the little producer secret you always have you know if the song is in a then you know we always have them sing like one one octave or one note higher you know hit him in a g and that's when the song really comes alive so he's already like peaking and then he had to and then the producer's like what if you sang it higher and now for the rest of his life his like 60 year old ass is on stage at like the cabo wabo festival and he's got a scream at the highest pitch possible poor bastard i wonder if they've i wonder if they've just taken everything down a peg so he can achieve the goal you know drop drop detuning for all their songs we got the seven string ibanez that that's a different that's a different thing i i um if you don't know what we're talking about guys sorry about that no one doesn't know the offspring all of our all of our young female listeners who are here for fashion week really want to talk about drop detuning for regional socal punk if you don't know first of all offspring is not regional second of all if you don't know about drop b tuning you should get familiar yeah yeah that's that's my that's what yeah i suggest uh wikipedia backslash drop detuning read that and then come see me then come then you can come talk to me yeah so we uh we're here in copenhagen uh my the code switching has begun for me and this is a country where i'm able to code switch and they like it versus the typical opposite even just in london a place where English is the spoken language.

4:25Jason Stewart:When I code switch to them, they're like, what are you saying? Why do you do that? I don't think British people will ever reward a British accent even if it's perfect. They won't give you the satisfaction. I agree. Quietly, I just want them to know. I want to see in their eyes that they think I'm doing a good job even if they're huffing and puffing. But here, even if I get a 3 out of 10, they go, oh, I'm delighted to hear. Thank you for taking the time to learn the language. 3 out of 10. yeah i mean i it's a it's a cultural difference i think i think british people just think you're making fun of them when you're not it's a sign of respect where i come from yeah and if you do a southern accent to me i look at it as a sign of respect and because everyone there is so kind of depressed and dreary so they expect the worst but here in copenhagen life is so good that's right like the thought of somebody insulting me or my language or my country doesn't even register at all look what our tax dollars do how could i be upset by anything you want you walk out the front door and there's a a 10 out of 10 riding a bicycle built for seven because they gotta hold other kids on their way to get free health care and like oh today i have chocolate for breakfast and i'm a size zero that's all they do every day i saw a um i saw like a display at the 7-eleven i was getting water this morning and it was dubai chocolate and denmark it was like they had made like a denmark version i was like i don't think that's the same thing i don't think you can just put any country name on it uh i guess they can i mean i mean technically sure but i did did they do anything to make i didn't i couldn't read the signage oh because it's in yeah i just saw the big labels and i was like this is funny that they're like choose you got to choose i wonder if it's just like regular it's just like it's a regular bar of milka chocolate or if they've added like this is chocolate with mackerel floss that has been woven with matcha inside can you imagine some mackerel floss so you're i we discovered this at duty free because i've dubai chocolate is obviously a trend that is sweeping the world but i i wasn't i thought it was just like harvested there or some shit i didn't know that like a blood diamond yeah i didn't i didn't know that But it had some extra.

6:37You didn't know that was a special thing. I literally thought it was just really good. Oh, right, right, right.

6:43Jason Stewart:Like Colombian coffee or Texas barbecue, whatever. And I was like, well, I've never heard of Dubai chocolate, and I'm a chocolate lover. I thought it was referring to oil, just like Texas tea. You know what I mean? Exactly. You're telling me. Yeah, so I just didn't realize. And then we were at Duty Free. That nice woman was talking about it. And then I asked her. You're like, no, it's got basically like a grid system of flavor inside. of it is what i was told it's uh i forgot i don't i've never had it because i respect myself too much but you open it up and it has like a floss of like a stringy woven kind of like a fried vermicelli noodle but even more thin and i believe it's dusted with green i don't know if it could be matcha or if it's sour apple i'm sure there's varieties at this point yeah they have a chocolate strawberry labubu boba filling or whatever now but it's I'm sure it's fine I hope you never try it I just don't understand I guess I just but the woman that was working at duty free at the she was just like a blonde an old blonde woman who's like it's a bit sickly she was talking shit on it she was talking a lot of shit on it but I agree like why I was like is this like a gimmick chocolate and she's like yeah love a sick gimmick yeah I mean, it feels like a gimmick, but the pricing also makes it feel like more of a gimmick.

8:05Jason Stewart:When you've been slanging those Cadbury dairy milk and egg fruit bars, and they're delicious, and there's no reason to mess it up, you got the fucking Dubai coming in. I don't know if there's racially charged notes to it or whatever, but... I need to... I'm going to look into it more, because I do want to know... Spend the day today. Spend the day today. A couple hours, block out. I just didn't, I just still don't understand where or how it, I mean, obviously I know where it came from, Dubai, but I'm saying how did it, what is the rise to prominence? Was there a celebrity on a yacht eating it in a paparazzi photo?

8:40Was it foodie weirdos?

8:42Jason Stewart:I would say there's a 50 % chance that it was not created in Dubai. I would also agree with you on that. I think somebody just. You're saying they could be using the Dubai high-end brand as a smokescreen. I think someone who's trying to launder their drug money and they are friends with a chocolatier. What are you working on? You've got a new thing. Splash the Dubai name on it. Next thing you know, we're good to go. It's called a rebrand. When we were in Bedford, there's the new cool cafe there. Do you remember Masked Chocolate? Yeah, I remember Masked Chocolate. The disgraced chocolatiers. Guess what they're doing now?

9:20They're up in Bedford with a cool cafe for white people. I couldn't believe it. I was like, wait, because it has the same name and it was good.

9:28Jason Stewart:Mass Chocolates Whites Only Cafe. The food was good and it had pantry items, a bakery, the whole thing. And I saw this display of 40 different Mass Chocolates bars. I hadn't seen Mass Chocolates in years. I tried not to go to Brooklyn. Literally ran out of town into the stinks. But now they have a whole operation up there. And I just wondered if could this Dubai chocolate create another disgraced chocolatier? I thought that was a once in a lifetime kind of situation. pardon my my memory but they the problem was that they found out that this is just regular ass chocolate yeah this shit is like hershey's basically but but with a good brand you know it's a very timely branding a color story the whole thing don't don't put a turd in the but i don't think i made some wrapping paper tie a bow on it and try to sell me that it ain't but i don't think they were like lying about i don't think they could like legally put you know i think people just assume because the way it looked it's the customer's fault is what I'm trying to say they weren't making any false claims but they also weren't being completely forthright with their info I think the pricing made people think that it was of a premium variety because they were paying so much and the design looked like that and I have to say congrats to the disgraced chocolatiers it's buyer error user error it's just like a Maserati car it's like hey this car costs$200 ,000 it's all tied up and some cool design, but on the inside it's just like an Isuzu Trooper guts.

10:55Jason Stewart:It sounds like shit. It's going to break down. That's your own fault for not doing the research. The thing is, chocolate tastes good. You know? That's Kat. I think chocolate tastes good with fruit mixed. I just think that if you like it, you like it. Who cares? I don't give a fuck where it comes from. Also, if you're the type of person who is like, this chocolate bar costs$28. I want it more because of that you kind of deserve that enjoy it either get the kick out like a man or go to the grocery store and get the high end shit get a kinder bar with a cartoon baby lion on the front man up so we had our show in London it went quite well at the 100 club I was a little worried that a Monday night live show would be ill attended but it was probably our best show in london that we've had i would say yeah i think that there's maybe some like august like laid back vibes where a monday night feels a little more acceptable to be out but it's also i was thinking most people don't want to waste their friday or saturday night on a live podcast recording that's right versus like hey monday what else we're gonna do watch big bang and and order some spag bowl yeah there's nothing else to do The competition was lesser, let's say.

12:22It's a big bang bow. But I don't know if... I also just... I feel like that we're offering an experience that is finished at a reasonable hour. So on a weekday, it should be fine any weekday, really.

12:38Jason Stewart:The show's 8.30 to 9.30. You go to dinner, have a couple espresso martinis, rock up to the club enjoy an hour of comedy with timeless content creators from around the world you're home by 10 o 'clock tuck the kids back in that you got a sitter for watch law and order bristol and then off to bed yeah you're back you're back it's no problem law and order sussex it really is a good offer as far as uh weeknight guys thank you to everyone that did come out we We had an after party at the Devonshire, which is the hottest pub in town, I'm assuming, right? I think it still is, yeah. I mean, especially after Monday.

13:21Jason Stewart:Put it on the map. But it was a thing we've been talking about with a lot of locals there. What do you do in a great business, a great thing gets fucked out and ruined by TikTokers, much like a Dubai chocolate or a cronut or whatever it might be? what are you supposed to do when you own a cool pub and everyone's like the guinness here is amazing and now you have 300 people you know from all over the world and they don't even know that guinness is a beer let alone you know any history about it or how you're supposed to drink or whatever and i was talking to a bartender there and he said people will come wait in line order a guinness and then ask for a straw because they don't they they think it's like a milkshake or a boba thing they don't even know it's a beer unfortunately i know that that's stupid but it's really it's funny when you hear it you can see how plausibly that whole scenario could go down it's also funny enough to me whereas if i worked at the devonshire i would be like sure here's your straw i would have straws ready because then they that's sort of a mind game to let them embarrass themselves more drinking a beer out of a straw on camera for their for their audience.

14:39If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sounds about right until you actually do the goddamn math. For most, business shipping is that thing. What is it actually costing you? Because if nobody's questioning it, it's probably costing way more than it should. ShipStation makes switching easy and the savings are immediate.

14:56Jason Stewart:Yeah, Chris, the shipping game, you go to the post office, you go to any of these places, and unless you have a friend on the inside who knows what's going on, They're going to get you.

We avoid the doctor because we're immature and pathetic. but when I do go, I feel like I leave with less information than I went in with. They look at me, they see that I'm healthy.

16:06They say, you're fine. They tell me to drink more water. I said, not possible. Maybe they wouldn't order the testing that I want. They don't want to go the extra mile, Jason. I don't get the data. I don't get the game plan. Just to see you next year, jiggle your nuts, and then we're out the door.

18:49Jason Stewart:It's populated by people who do bullshit like this. No. Every business is populated by people that do bullshit. Just like how Prince Street Pizza is like, no fucking ranch, no gay ass ranch here, get that shit out. That doesn't affect their business at all. I know it doesn't. The same way that giving out a straw would not deter anyone at all. If Prince Street had sides of ranch for$1.50 and you dip your crust in it, the world will keep spinning. Either way, the world will keep spinning is my point. Ranch or no ranch? Both a straw in the Guinness or no? I'm saying that that kind of stuff doesn't actually affect business because people aren't.

19:27It should. But you don't want, I mean, Prince Street Pizza is not a good example because I'm not going to go there. but it's like a would the ranch make your experience that much better or can you live without it and most people like well i want it but i can live without it yeah i mean it's the

19:45Jason Stewart:same thing there's so many of these great whatever we need a word for whatever this is but i also think of the like the sushi park no soy sauce rule or like if you want a california roll spicy tuna somewhere else go somewhere else we do real sushi here brother and unfortunately i'm a fan of the california roll a well-executed california roll is a perfect balance of flavors unfortunately one of them is crab with a k definitively white people you you don't you can't like you can't be anti like sushi that's made for you you can't think you're above that because you're not because you don't this isn't your culture i don't care how much you've read about how the fish gets imported and how great you think your palate is and blah blah blah shut up a california rolls is is good do you think the california roll is i guess the california roll is made for white people or it's made for californians yeah no that that that too but it's just i i don't think that i don't know but i feel like asian people they're like yeah imitation crab it's just like we grew up eating it because it's like cheaper and it tastes fine and whatever there's no stigma attached and then white people are like what do you mean it's made out of like squashed mackerel carcasses yeah yeah you know steamed pollock or whatever it is but you know asian people fuck with mayonnaise just as much as white people do i just don't think yes no that's definitely trust me and they've they've found interesting ways to use it not as much as these people do here in denmark though they fuck with mayonnaise hard hard body when we went to the restaurant bobe yesterday and we had the uh french fries dusted in fennel pollen a great chip there was that little you know shit beautiful pile it was a beautiful pile what it was a perfect it looked like marshmallow kind of to me it looked like marshmallow of mayonnaise squirted down on there but i mean they this is where mayonnaise goes down brother but what did that that mayonnaise had did it have a flavor or no i don't think it was just a jar of hellman's no of course i mean with that with a little With the fennel pollen, it was hard for me to...

21:53I was distracted.

21:55Jason Stewart:I think our listeners kind of all know at this point how fennel and the fennel pollen affects you. It kind of sends me into a tizzy. I think we need to be a little more judicious with our fennel pollening. I don't know if I encounter fennel pollening that much. That's one of the names of fleas daughters. no flinnell's like she's actually an amazing graphic artist fennel pollen downstairs now uh yeah there's at kiespaka nancy silverton's restaurant the first time i had it they had they had a pork chop dusted with fennel pollen and the flavors of fennel pollen and pork dance together okay but also you know then everything every you're buying a fucking eight hundred dollar piece of pork and it just tastes like fennel so you know there's the other thing that's what it's which takes us back to what we're talking about before you know putting ketchup on the ribeye i don't look down upon people who choose condiments that i wouldn't choose i i think it's i think everybody should eat what they want to eat and we you might get made fun of but i don't eat what you want to eat sing what you want to i just don't understand like bro it doesn't make somebody's iq lower if they like their steak medium well it's just not what you like it doesn't affect their iq but it's a display of their self-discipline i don't think it is i think it's a display of i want what i want and i'm gonna get it and that's what we all do when i'm smoking a cig i want to dip it into formaldehyde but i don't because in polite society it's frowned upon to get wet that's your that's that's you not having enough confidence to get wet what i'm doing a little bump off the webbing of my hand i want to lick it and rub it on my gums but everyone's gonna look at me like i'm a freak show no of course and i'm not saying you're not going to be judged i want to lick the back of the v magazine because that's what we've been racking lines on i'm saying that if you want if you like something you should you should do it no matter what sort of blowback you're gonna get from society when it's as low stakes is how something is cooked if you like something you should do it man you should i just don't i mean putting eggs on ketchup is disgusting yeah excuse me ketchup on eggs but unless of course it's in a roll with a bacon egg and cheese i can't i i couldn't get past that even though it is a sandwich form factor yeah well let's let's move on um we i guess we can talk about sweets a little bit i'm in the middle of my annual tree talks right now which is why you know the nightmares have begun and you're what day 8 on sweets yeah day 8 feels good I called my sponsor this morning said put the Betty Crocker down you don't need to snort that you said no you poured the jar of sprinkles down the toilet here I saw a crazy video that's like when you go to it was like a black woman working at an ice cream shop and there's like a sprinkle, all the topics for your ice cream you know hot fudge and brownie bites and whatever.

25:03Jason Stewart:And there was the chocolate sprinkles and then there's the rainbow sprinkles. And then it's like, do you want the colored sprinkles or the sprinkles of color? Kind of makes you think a little bit. Sprinkles of color. You know, one of those head scratchers, like do blind people know when to stop wiping their ass after they take a shit? You know, how do you know? But speaking of other gross things, friend of the show, Calvin Harris. Congratulations. He had a baby. with God knows who. He knows her? You know when somebody just like, they're like DJing in Ibiza one day and the next day there's a picture of a newborn on their lap and you're like, I didn't even know.

25:45Jason Stewart:I don't keep up with the going-ons of Calvin Harris, but if you scroll a few, it's like a photo of him with the baby on the couch and blah, blah, blah. And then like, I think they did a natural water birth at the house. Oh, I'm sure that they did. And then you scroll down a couple more slides into the carousel. And there is a high definition load, that pinch and zoom in that 4K of the placentia laid out on some brawny paper towels and the umbilical cord has been shaped into a heart. This is one of the worst things I've ever heard. And it was the jump scare of jump scares, I would say. Calvin Harris also, I imagine, has multi-millions of followers.

26:30Yeah. tens of millions of followers and dollars i guess and then if you scroll more through the slides

26:37Jason Stewart:it'll show the process of him dehydrating the uh the it's a common practice to hydrate the placentia you know put it into the noma fermentation station and crack it up into some pills and this is fucked up like i'm not not that it doesn't obviously like i get it it's it's i just it's a Part of the human body. Yeah, this just does not feel like something that should be posted on social media. It's a violation. It looks like he's created like a blood flower with a stem. They're opening for seven dust in Dusseldorf. Wait, he's married? I don't know. He says, so grateful. His wife is here. Let's click.

27:22This is one of the worst things you've ever brought to my attention. And we've spent years bringing bad stuff to each other's attention. That's our job.

27:29Jason Stewart:Do you think that this was Calvin's idea to post the umbilical cord? Actually, yes, I do. Yes, I do. I strongly think it was his idea. And it also reminds me of the Nirvana song. Yes. The umbilical noose heart-shaped box. We have a heart-shaped umbilical noose. Is this like some Pizzagate shit? I wish Calvin Harris was that smart. If Calvin Harris was a Pizzagate I wouldn't be super surprised No that's not out of the realm of possibility I guess this is just more This is just an extreme Version, illustration of Everything doesn't need to go On Instagram It's just that is not That's between you and her And your doula And night nurse and assistant Of course When you have the baby The baby comes out you clean it you hose that shit off put a bow on the head and then we could take a photo for the instagram when i'm when i wake up in the morning and i look like shit i got crust in my eyes and i'm all fucked up i don't post a photo of that on my social media it's just it's a it's a place it's a instagram is not a real place we don't need to see the the whole point is that it's a fantasy it's it's what life could be it's the highlights it's only the good stuff take that shit to flicker i know this is i know this is the good stuff as far as like he's concerned but i didn't know he had gone the good stuff i didn't know he was like is he so is he like gone down a little bit of a topanga style rat i think so okay because that's what this screams of this doesn't scream of like progressive this screams of like i'm anti-vax i think yeah i think that he He got Erewhon pillaged, and I think his wife is probably, because of their location and access to funds, I think they're throwing money at wellness things that are still on the bleeding edge of, you know, we're still figuring it out kind of thing.

29:36Jason Stewart:We're looking for new volunteers. We'll spend$20 ,000 on a red light bed for our whole body. Yeah, we're removing blood, and we're adding stuff to it, squirting it back in. we're spinning the block with our spinning our blood and the block with our oat thank you for bringing that to my attention as well as our listeners attention though this is something this is important I would and I wonder if those placenta pills really do you know are they a superfood of some sort I don't know hit reddit I'm sure you can find some if you want to try if I like is this placentia good only for the mother because you're putting it back into you or can i take someone else's placentia powder and will i get the benefits from it the same amount who knows you know what jason i don't know and additionally i don't care let's say somebody had a kid that is a cool famous person they they get their placenta powdered and pilled we can sell one of those how much would a one of emily radikowski's placentia pills costs on the on the red market the red that's a great question i i don't i don't know what the going right is the bidding begins at eight thousand dollars um yeah so i was uh i also took note of something as we've been traveling the last couple days and i'm going to predict something enough time has passed and now i think that charles gnarles barkley crazy is is going to come back oh i noticed this too because we heard heard it several times in the last three days and one was a kind of loungy cover but then the original yeah yeah yeah and the original is a he got but didn't didn't cee lo green the soul machine atlanta's own he got human sphere he got low he got low-key canceled for basically just like having orgies though he like didn't i i didn't know that i mean he went away he had the biggest song in the world and then like he kind of just disappeared c-lo got the freak off c-lo was having his own freak offs is what i believe i didn't know that i didn't i mean i guess i i believe it because nobody wanted to fuck him before and then when he got that gnarles barkley money don't do that to an og member of goody mob don't do that that's that's atlanta royalty right there whenever i see him like when you know when you're watching willy wonka let's get big gip on the pod big gip if you're listening i'm a gip fan personally he's more of a long and slender he is unfortunately in this situation i'm the cee-lo green and you're the big gip biggip at gmail.com uh there's there's the unironic return of the black-eyed peas which is something that at the at the dare dj set like we heard that and i was like and you mentioned that to me before and i of course wasn't aware of it because i'm not in the clubs like that or on TikTok, the two places where this seems to be happening.

32:36And then I heard it for myself and I watched the reaction of all of these 22-year-old non-binary, the Dare fans that have piercings.

32:44Jason Stewart:Yeah, it makes you wonder because this has been happening forever. When we were 22 and people were playing old songs ironically in the club and then the older head generation that we knew would be like are you guys fucking serious like this is the dumbest shit like when this song came out and i was there for the first time it was the most embarrassing you know most low level mental shit you could be listening to are you enjoying it now earnestly or did you put it on as a joke and then it's funny and then a months later now we actually do like the black eyed peas stuff it could creep into your psyche when it's that catchy and professionally done yeah i mean black eyed peas songs i don't want to listen honestly i think we should have will i am on the pod and i want to talk to him about it because i'll talk to will i am i mean i don't want to talk to him about any of his anything else though i don't want to talk about his innovation studio i don't want to talk about his clothes his glasses any of that strictly bep i think we'll talk i think i think i'll maybe i'll send him a DM because we used to be friends yeah I think he I mean it is cool to see that happen to anyone really because I think it's just such an interesting trend overall yeah because there's so many layers to it because obviously when the Black Eyed Peas came out and those songs you know let's get retarded in here and and just all those songs meet me halfway and pump it louder you know it's same same as like LMFAO like there were lots of people who are unironically earnestly enjoying that music and now when the people are returning to it are those people like happy that their their bad music has now become popular again fuck yeah they're happy I mean their their business manager's happy their fucking ex-wife's happy their kids are happy like like the dorky 30 year old who was dancing to it when they were like 12 years old or whatever it was i think it's and now that it's come back are they're like you know what i do like this thing that's awful are you talking about revisionist history what we do all the time with fucking corn and limp biscuit and raging against the machine it's the same it's the same idea but at least these songs again i don't need to listen to them or ever hear them again but they are fucking absolute hits they're smashes They feel like they are scientifically engineered to resurface because they're that good.
