In short
Two hosts (Chris Black and Jason) trade stories and opinions while in Tokyo, ranging from foot pain and Japanese hot/cold rock baths, to nostalgia for Orange County punk/ska venues, to debates about music/film criticism and celebrity marketing.
Guest backgrounds
No guests appear in the transcript; it’s a two-person episode with Chris Black and Jason.
Key claims
- Japanese “walking hot bath/cold bath over rocks” is extremely painful but massaging, with a “pussy option” to hold a rail.
- Orange County’s all-ages ska/punk scene (e.g., Chain Reaction; “Rec Room” at Old World) was a suburban culture hub, not just a major-city phenomenon.
- The hosts question why critics are suddenly attacking The XX’s debut album and suggest nostalgia can distort judgments.
- They criticize Timothée Chalamet’s promotional ego for “Marty Supreme,” arguing method/PR details (contacts, glasses) may hurt credibility.
- They discuss backlash cycles: beloved geniuses can get turned on when popular culture shifts.
Notable examples
- Chain Reaction (Orange County punk/hardcore venue) and “Rec Room” (W-R-E-C-K) flyers.
- Old World (Huntington Beach) Oktoberfest-style German beer hall.
- Timothée Chalamet’s “Marty Supreme” marketing; Marty Reisman as a loose inspiration.
- Tarantino calling Paul Dano “weak sauce” (Brady/Sonala podcast mentioned).

0:23Jason Stewart:what is gucci it's me jason how's it going bro oh it's good uh it's good been up since five but feeling productive last night i hit a wall i just hit i hit a wall i couldn't i had to i you know when people say you're gonna walk a lot or whatever i'm like yeah bitch i live in new york i walk a lot and i don't think my dogs have ever barked this loud in my 43 years on earth okay what i wanted to ask you this last week didn't get to it what's the uh what's the footwear what what which hokas are you wearing that's the that's the problem i should be uh i'm wearing uh my usual my usual lineup of penny loafers converse chuck taylor all-stars uh i have my uh boat shoes from the row and that's that's about it so i mean i have my i have my shoes to exercise and of course but those i reserve those for the gym only you know what i mean you have to separate church and state yeah but i mean walking around in some some vans or some chuck taylors it's not that bad compared to sockless loafer 30 000 i actually think it's worse in some ways i i can't tell but my tell me the ways bro i just don't i think it's all i'm saying i think all of my choices are equally bad is what i'm trying to say i don't think there's much of i don't think there's much of a difference um but the dogs are barking i'll find somebody to put some put a hurtin on my fascia at some point and try to you know loosen loosen this stuff up but i'm just you know i'm limping around like a fucking like i like i really did something to myself when all i did was look at clothes for you know 48 hours straight can you go to like a japanese foot massage oh yeah i'm gonna yeah i'm gonna yeah i'll find something i'll find something i'm gonna see i'm gonna see david marks tonight for for a sushi i'm gonna ask him for some real like because i know he's i feel like he's got because he's so tall but he's got some big dogs on him so i'm sure he's i'm sure he knows what time it is you know and i know also know actually he wears a lot of new balance so maybe his feet are taken care of yeah maybe he's thought it maybe he's a great shoe to walk around in it's all it's not like he invented the idea of this no no no he did not uh no he did not that's yeah i No, this reminds me when I was down in, not in Sifnos, in Ischia.
2:38Jason Stewart:And everywhere throughout the city, they had the natural springs, the hot springs and the baths and the cold plunges and the hot baths and all that stuff. But then one of them is the Japanese walking hot bath, cold bath over rocks. You know what I'm talking about? No, so it's like a massage. Is that the idea that the rocks are giving you relief? Yeah, it's like a small NASCAR track that you walk on. It's maybe like 30 feet long, and it's just like an oval-shaped loop. Half of it is burning hot water. Half of it is cold water. And then the bottom of the pool, it's like two feet of water. It's like up to between your ankle and your knee.
3:21Jason Stewart:And the floor is just small stones. So every footstep is like painful and massaging. and that sounds awesome it is it's very challenging but that's what i was gonna ask i wanted to ask about the balance aspect because you know i'm not really i'm not a gymnast by any means um so is it is it tough like how protruding are these small boulders i guess is my question it's very painful the difference is some people will hold on like in the middle of it there's always like a little rock wall or a rail or something that you can use we have a pussy we have a pussy option is what you're telling me there is a pussy option but you know real heads of course hands behind the back old asian guy walking around style is the true way to do it some footsteps are magical massaging steps and some of them you know searing pain as if you're you know walking down the beach and stepped on a hard something that just really smashes into a very sensitive spot on your foot a sensitive area on the foot that is really music to my ears I'm going to look for some videos on my algorithm later get that shit tuned up I'd love to see you do it I'd love to see how long you can last because it really truly does hurt it's a bastard and you want to make sure you don't get stuck behind a slow person too because sharks got to keep moving horses keep moving sharks got to keep moving is what I say in the mirror every morning when I'm getting up to go to the gym I know exactly what you're talking about You need to get your mom to get one of those home sweet home, you know, cursive woodworking prints above the door and you tap it every day on the way out.
5:05Jason Stewart:Alex will love that, right? I tap it on the way out like I play at Notre Dame and I'm heading out onto the field. I mean, in Chinatown, every day is Friday Night Lights. You never know what's going to happen. You never know who you're going to see out there on the streets. God, nothing is more true. I was, as we were mourning the loss of Orange County legendary punk and hardcore venue, Chain Reaction, which I mean, I've been to a handful of times. I'm sure you spent a lot more time there than I did. RIP, you know, it's one of the shittiest greats, but we hate to see those things go away after 30 years.
5:43That's an insane run, actually, for something that didn't sell alcohol. So I don't know how they're making any money.
5:50Jason Stewart:Yeah, good point. Good point. Yeah, I mean, I guess the all-ages crowd, they will still buy tickets because they don't have any other option. It's true. There's no other way to do it. They have to go there to enjoy it, not because it's a place to get drunk. I was with my friend Brooks here in Tokyo, and we went to this whatever. We went to the neighborhood with all the crazy vintage stores, et cetera. It was like 25 minutes out of town. And I'm running low on Steam, and he's like a head. He does this for a living, so he's looking for stuff. He knows what he's looking at. I'm kind of like, all right, I could sit down if that was an option.
6:22Then we found this place, and I think it was called Splat or maybe Splash. I can't remember. And he's like, you're going to like this one. You're going to like this one. I'm like, all right, okay. You go up there, and it is like the most hoarder, teenager bedroom vibe. Like you can't move. There can only be two people in there. And it's dedicated, I would say, mostly to ska punk. and and things that are in that zone so i'm like i'm like oh my god there's all kinds of other shit too but the t-shirt he's tokyo's hottest nightclub is splat this guy it has everything yeah it's got everything it's got skanking pickle long sleeves and he's showing me so he's showing me all these t-shirts and brooks is sort of like dude do you know what this is and i'm like unfortunately yes i know what all of this is and it was it was but it reminded me it's like a it reminded me of bands that would play at chain reaction you know like a less than jay a less than jake you know tour shirt it was just like such an insane look and i mean obviously tokyo has plenty of that stuff that's very very specific and that's the whole point but this one was i feel like this genre of music was popular for like five years at one in one very niche was the
7:33Jason Stewart:price correctly was it were there were the grails did you cop anything i didn't cop anything i've actually not really been copying i'm sort of overwhelmed i'm paralyzed by choice a little bit um i got a great i got a great like fishtail parka army thing and you know that's kind of it but i'm gonna go i'm gonna go kick the tires some more today but the prices i didn't even ask the prices because i as much as i respect the specials and skank and pickle and less than jake i'm not gonna wear those shirts no of course not you know i'm not i'm not i'm all set but it was an unbelievable it was an unbelievable time warp.
8:10Like I couldn't, I just couldn't, I hadn't thought about these words in so long.
8:13Jason Stewart:Yeah, that reminds me of, there's a club, there's a venue in Huntington Beach where I grew up called Old World. And it was like a German restaurant and they would have Oktoberfest every year. And it was designed to look exactly like an old like German beer hall. Yeah, yeah. And they had this event. It was an all-ages weekly event called the Rec Room. But Rec was spelled W-R-E-C-K, like a car wreck. We had a Rec Room in Atlanta, too, funnily enough. Yeah, we had a Rec Room. That was an OG Atlanta venue. But I pulled up the flyer. It's from the OC Weekly from 1993 or whatever. 1999, we'll say, maybe 97.
8:58Jason Stewart:It's sponsored by Rusty. It's every Monday. Sponsored by Rusty? rusty sir not yet to be clear that's not a person or or the chips that you love it's a it's a it's a surf brand yeah it's a yeah not rusty's chips it's a surf brand classic r logo of course it's also sponsored by black flies as well as fly girls as well as america and maybe we got it all uh electric ink magazine wahoo's fish tacos um but you know but there like there would be ska pump punk bands in the main room dial seven you know jeffrey's fan club okay sure you know that kind of thing what a terrible genre of music what a terrible genre it's unbelievable how bad it is go ahead but then there was also the dance area spinning disco and house and you know they would it would be like real legit like good kind of djs that are kind of beloved nowadays and then there was also a skate jam half pipe and every every monday tom penny omar hassan sal barbie chad muska rune glyphberg oh baby just sessioning and i would be you know 15 sitting on top of the vert and just like this is the sickest fucking day of my life that's actually and it happened every single monday that is the most southern california paradise upbringing story you've maybe ever told where it's like that really was it's just interesting when like a suburb is the center of a culture you know what I mean whereas like I think usually we think of major cities but like Orange County in that era between the skateboarding and the music it really was like a hotbed and also don't sleep on the birthplace of MMA in America as well ground and pound I mean and this was happening right down the street from Vinyl Solution, which was our hardcore record punk store where you can go and get all your dope Teen Idol 7 inches and things like that.
11:00Jason Stewart:Of course, of course. In the same shopping center, there was a sort of construction worker bro bar. It was basically a bar that had pool tables and arcade games. And on the walls, it was just painted with flames everywhere, just like standard OC shit. It was just like the whole place is flamed up like your sleeve on your arm. Standard OC shit. Standard OC shit. It looks like my motorcycle and my arm. And when we first started drinking, we would go there because it was funny. And we didn't know like cool bars to go to and hang out at. So we would go to this place and we would call it Flames and Games.
11:36Jason Stewart:And we would just, you know, do a couple pills and just, you know, have some white Russians and play shuffleboard. Dark stuff. Dark stuff. Nothing like taking a couple ecstasy pills, having a few white Russians, and playing darts with the homies. That sounds like a real – that sounds bad. The gut health alone I'm terrified of, but how long could you possibly stay at a place like that? There's your pregame spot, bro. Don't even worry about it. Oh, okay. Okay. I apologize. I apologize. But that last year reminds me. I was just watching a video of a skater. I don't remember what his name is, but he just did some gnarly 12 stairs or something like that.
12:14We were talking about this last night. 360 flipped that that famous spot um dude what the fuck let me look it up because i was just
12:22Jason Stewart:somebody referred to the skater as every time i see him i think american history x games yeah chris jocelyn that that's his name we were talking i were literally talking about this last night and that shit i saw exactly we're talking about you talk about this in japan well global well i mean i'm talking about in japan with with white boys who skate and so it's not really it's not It wasn't that, but I did, that description of him was perfect. He really does look like he could be like a firefighter. Well, I mean, the American, the X Games part of it means you're into dope action sports and the American History X part of it means you may or may not have a sort of white power tattoo on your chest somewhere.
13:01Jason Stewart:He could have. Like Pete Hegseth or a literal Nazi. Pete Hegseth. uh i mean we gotta talk we got we got so much to cover i i saw earlier that um somebody had basically been like there's a reissue of the first xx album and someone had done a review of it and been like it sucks basically like we were all like this album actually sucks which i was i have not heard anyone i didn't know it had been long enough for people to hate that album and i assume this this person i mean look it's for paste magazine this isn't for fucking you know this isn't this isn't this isn't how to spend this isn't how to spend it you know what i'm saying but i was just taking big swings hail mary's i i applaud it i just wonder how old this person is and if and if it's i have just not heard this narrative but i guess it comes for everyone eventually you know but i was i was surprised to see that because that album to me is sort of considered a classic and and And no one really fires at it in my memory.
14:03Let me look this guy up. Let's find his address and stuff too. If you don't mind. You can find his home address, phone number, parents' names.
14:10Jason Stewart:I found his Twitter. We can't tell how old. But this feels like something a 25-year-old would say. Kind of. You know? But who knows? He could be our age. I was just surprised because I think that album. No, it looks like a young Asian man. And I see he posted a selfie on Twitter with a I Voted sticker in his mouth. Oh, all right. I'm out. Never mind.

16:48Jason Stewart:I would say, yeah, he does look 25 at the most. Okay, then that makes a little more sense to me then. Because I was like, Pace paid you$30 via PayPal for this, and it will get clicks because it's an attack on a millennial classic, I would say. Has the XX's debut album always sounded this limp and dull? Interesting. Yeah, I just don't know. I think it actually holds up pretty well, considering how much stuff from that era doesn't. but you know who am i yeah his he wrote in august jid's moments of brilliance fail to gel on god does like ugly so he's a he's covering jid all right well the spread is wide thank god the spread is why he probably went to see aw tecker performatively but you know i would i would probably but me at 25 would probably be doing the exact same shit uh you know what though i would be a a twisted fire starter like benny would i think because but i think because of our i think because the internet was less a part of our lives there wasn't i feel like there was less hating going on or maybe it just seemed you only heard your inner circles hating you didn't see the world's hating yeah i mean actually i was talking about this with carolyn this uh on the way home from we went to the beach today and on the way home we were talking about the um devil wears prada and about how when when she saw that movie 20 years ago it was she was at the perfect age to fall in love with it you know as a teenager but if you were a 38 year old intelligent culturally interesting person who worked in fashion when that movie came out you would you would say this is the dumbest yes stupidest movie of all time but because of the nostalgia you you're unable to see that now because it holds such a special place in your heart.
18:41Jason Stewart:So we might be experiencing that with the XX as well. Like if we were all cool, interesting, intellectual, cultural critics at the age of 40 when the XX's album came out, we might definitely think it is some limp, dull shit. Yeah, well, it's funny because music is so limp and dull now that I wouldn't, it doesn't sound, I don't know. I was just surprised to see that, that's all. I was surprised to see it. It's a swing. It's a swing, yeah, but we really need to talk about your boy, Timmy, because he's talking sideways now. He's beating his chest a little bit, and the ego is coming out, and I think first it was selling the Marty Supreme merch, and now he's basically saying, I'm a gift to God's green earth.
19:28Fuck Daniel Day-Lewis. I'm him. I worry that this is not going to end well for him. Flying too close to the sun. it's just a little bit like you can't say that like you just can't and people like well if this was this and that you know people and i'm just like dude like people are comparing him like well athletes say it i'm like that's a very different i think i think playing basketball and acting are two very different things and i don't i don't i don't think we can really compare
19:56Jason Stewart:those two things and the attitudes that they require um acting is not a competition sport unless you want it to be but you once you make it that then it stops being cool it stops being art you know it's not it's just like i want i'm not doing this because i love it i'm doing it because i want to be the best and i'm sure he does love it but i just don't but also you know to take the other hands if you want to go michael jordan with it you have to create competition even where it doesn't exist and sometimes you have to invent somebody i'm fine with that i'm fine with that I do that all the time.
20:30I'm just saying that you don't have to talk like that. You can do all of the stuff you want in your head, but saying I'm putting out some top-level shit for the last eight years is like, dude, how old are you? Like you can't. No, you haven't. If you're putting out top-level shit like that, people would know about it, I think.
20:46Jason Stewart:But also as an athlete saying that, you have statistics to back it up. Numbers. And numbers to back it up and say like, yes, I did get the most triple dubs in January, or whatever it might be, versus, hey, man, I did a better performance in my movie than you did in your movie, and that's not a quantifiable. It's a completely subjective art. Dune is good, though. Dune is good, though. I know, but if he doesn't win an Oscar for this movie, I feel like we got to put him on suicide watch. I feel like the amount. He's doing professional wrestling appearances now. He's literally giving quotes about his favorite ECW slam.
21:27am like it's it's getting to the like i don't know how much further promotion can go kind of
21:33Jason Stewart:i feel like he's hit the end of the road so some people are like we want to make sure all our bases are covered with this marketing rollout and he's like what if there's more bases and you're like we don't need all the bases are there for the game and he's like let's we gotta we have to touch every single market in order to make this the biggest a24 film about ping pong in the 50s I mean look I it's it's unbelievable what he I mean him and Kylie in the matching orange chrome hearts um I have to say I do like that that's pretty funny well him wearing the him wearing the chrome hearts ping pong paddle cross body holder is pretty funny it is funny yeah the the other quote I read he wore contacts that messed up is intentionally messed up his vision so then When he wore his glasses in the film, they were truly prescriptive glasses to help fix his eyesight that he then did destroy.
22:31Jason Stewart:And to me, is that helping their performance? Is that helping you slip into the role more because you can see better? Is that moving the needle? Can people really take this kind of shit seriously? Can people really take this kind of shit seriously? Again, you do whatever you got to do to sell it when you're in front of the camera. You don't need to talk. If it's good, it'll be good. You don't need to give all the, you know what I mean? You don't have to give us all this information. It's only hurting you, really. I think that we believe that you don't have to, but people in his situation might believe maybe this is the competitive edge that I need to win the competition that I've created in my mind.
23:14Jason Stewart:this is considered you know it's like getting into a prestigious college you want to have as many extracurriculars on there you want to pepper your you know whenever you submit your performance to the golden globes and pay them all the money so you can get the award or whatever you can say hey i did this hey i i had to lose a bunch of weight i had to make myself ugly i had to fuck up my eyesight and regain it you know all that stuff but it's just like dude it's one of those things where people are just like okay think about what acting really that's cool think about what acting really is it's not acting then you'll at a certain point you get so method that you are no longer acting like you're playing dress up with your friends and telling a little story that that's literally what this is like let's let's let's remember what this is like that's and that's fine it's the same way people are like athletes are playing children's games for millions of dollars like that can be true and that can be your passion but that's not a that's just the reality of it like bro you're playing dress up in a period piece about ping pong and you think you have just you know you think you are touched by god and i just think you can be good at something but it's not that serious and i'm not sure i haven't seen the movie i don't know much about it but i believe he is playing a fictional character right um like marty supreme is a not a real person in the 50s who was a ping pong player.
24:36It is based on something real, I think.
24:39Jason Stewart:Well, I mean, whether or not it's based on a real person or not, nobody knows the story of this person if he is a real person. So nobody knows if this person wore glasses or what kind or what his prescription was, you know what I mean? Loosely based on Marty Reisman, a real-life American table tennis legend, which is an underappreciated sport, obviously. But I guess what I'm saying is it's not, you know, timmy playing bob dylan or any other biopic where it's like by golly he really nailed how john lennon wears his glasses or he really nailed how you know this person does this he's really nailing something and he's the only person that knows it's being nailed so who is this for who is it for i don't know if marty if he's doing a good marty he's not even a real person i was really on board with this whole thing it's taking such a turn it's taking such of left and I don't know.
25:31Maybe it just started too early. I feel like we've been hearing about this movie for a year.
25:35Jason Stewart:It did start too early and it reminds me or makes me think there was, there's a podcast journalist, Ashley Carman, and she's talking about how we, with enough time now that the clipification and the video and the blah, blah, blah of podcasts has been around now for a couple of years, it's moved and shifted the whole podcast landscape so much. You're nothing without out the video and the clips or how you promote it and how you get new listeners and new followers but the statistics and the the numbers are coming back saying it doesn't necessarily translate to more people listening to your podcast people feel as if they more or less have seen enough you know i've seen this the the three clips from amy poehler and tina fey on their fake video podcast i don't need to where i don't need to go and put it an hour and a half yeah i I don't need to listen to it in the car or whatever when there's a billion other things I could listen to and watch every day.
26:34Jason Stewart:So I feel like the same thing is going to start happening with movie trailers and clips and promo and stuff like this. People are just excited that Timmy is doing anything because our lives are boring. So when the movie comes out, I feel as if I've already seen it. I don't really know if I need to. like you know like the the excitement is sort of gone and the desire to experience what's going on i feel like the movie i feel like the movie's been out for five years yeah at this point literally i feel like it's exhausting half the people we know have already seen it i mean that's it doesn't come out for another month that's true it comes out on christmas i'm sure people will see it i'm sure it'll do well it's gonna make money he might even win an oscar but i just don't know if this i don't know it just seems like a lot and i think you're right i think there's there's a certain level of it where even the most charming engaged guy which he is at a certain point it's like all right bro now you're starting to like have like adderall ego trips on the mic and it's a little bit like i think maybe we could walk it back take a week off yeah you know you want it you want people to let the acting do the work for you and you you imagine you would never in a million years hear leo or daniel day lewis or pacino or any of the greats you know going on jimmy fallon and talking about you know bragging about how he's really locking in i think and how he's really going method really like the fuck in i mean i think i think that's the thing i think it is a generational difference so i feel like yes of course leo and leonardo capri would never do that but like timmy's also not on yachts and can fucking prostitutes and doing coke and fucking chicks while he's listening to music in his airpods you know it's it's just there's just generational differences here but also i guess i guess leo is his go he's going for fuckable he's going for mystery yes let the let the work do the talking for you i want to know you know i don't know if timmy i guess i don't know if timmy has ever been in the fuckable category but well he is according to women everywhere but it's different it's it's definitely yeah but i mean you know do women want to be around him because he's fun and awesome or do women want to fucking i mean I mean, based on...
28:46Pull that tree. Based on how he's pulling historically, it's not... Because what I like about him that's cool is that he's this LaGuardia High thespian who only likes absolute IG-style baddies. He kind of keeps it in his own. He's not dating other artists. He's dating Kylie Jenner or Lily Rose Deb. He's not... I appreciate that about him because it still makes him feel like a teenage boy.
29:14Jason Stewart:I mean but whatever it is we're talking about him No it works no it's definitely working This little motherfucker I want to shoot our boy Jonathan is getting killed because there's a picture of him and his girlfriend Alana from the band Heim leaving a party and they're saying Silver Fox and he has a beautiful head of grey hair like it's enviable grey hair it's beautiful and they're just dragging they're saying he's 50 like how old is this guy like you know all this shit and i just want he's 39 years old age gap relationship yeah i just want to be clear it's an age-appropriate relationship and i they're in love and i think we need to leave him alone what like i don't understand how great gray hair is distinguished it's cool i don't i didn't know there was a sort of negativity towards it i think it's i think the gray is very gray and she bless her heart looks very young so you know if you are an impressionable 19 year old heim fan and you want her to be dating timothy chalamet or a beautiful sweet innocent young boy who's the same age if not one to two weeks younger than her or whatever and everything is all wonderful and happy the thought of a woman in her 30s dating a man in her 30s who has gray hair is should not be such an asinine justice justice justice for jh baby but i i was The guy's a cat.

30:36Jason Stewart:She drives a little white vintage Porsche around town. He eats Kazunori. He's just like a little pimp, you know? He's jet-setting. I got to go to New York for a thing, whatever, you know? Got to go to New York for a thing. I got to be. Sorry, I got to be in New York for a thing. It's like 36 hours. It's just like. Dude, I barely packed a bag. I just have a duffel. But the age gap relationship thing has been funny on Twitter because young people are literally talking about two or three years. When you're an adult, you'll realize that that stuff completely doesn't matter after the age of 21. Yeah, and I think maybe COVID really screwed up all of our timelines because in my mind, I don't know if I want some of these people to be 33 years old.
31:24That's true.
31:26Jason Stewart:Because if Alana from Haim is 33 and she looks like a teenager, then what what does that mean about me when i look in the mirror yeah what do i look like yeah yeah yeah that's true it's setting us in if we got 10 years on her what's going on yeah this this could be bad for us this could be really bad for us i also we also should talk about um your boy quentin tarantino um just dragon dragon funny face paul dano and people come into defense i'm just like i think it's i don't care about quentin tarantino at all and I saw somebody saying that it's crazy that he's never addressed the fact that he's ugly.
32:06Jason Stewart:I just think it's funny that he's never addressed the fact that he's ugly. They're like, I think it's actually crazy and psychotic that he's never addressed that he looks like that and that is a red flag for me. And I was like, that's just a really, really funny thing to say. Look, I'm no prize pig. That's why I picked up the camera, you know? I don't know anything about, I mean, I know Paul Dano. There was like a five-year period where every fashion magazine shot an editorial of Paul Dano. And I see all of my photographer friends reposting, sort of celebrating Dano. And you can tell by looking at him, he's a goddamn freak.
32:41And like, absolute, you know what I mean? I don't know, but I don't know if he's a good actor. I assume he is, but I don't know if I'm giving him that credit because of how he looks. You know what I'm saying?
32:51Jason Stewart:I think he is a good actor. And I think that overall he is known as a person who is a good actor who takes his work seriously. Yes, yes, yes. I would agree. I think Tarantino's quip was he thought that he ruined There Will Be Blood. He was the wrong person to be playing that particular role versus Daniel Day-Lewis. He thought you needed more of a big dog to do this, but also you're playing someone's son, so he has to be relatively young. and I think that and also I think whenever everyone realized that he wanted to be people should be calling him Paul Dano and not Dano I think maybe that was a little chink in the armor for him where it's like I don't want to do that bro you know what I mean ask me to pronounce your name properly bro get the fuck out of here don't play me like that I love that and Tarantino is just getting killed but I think people have wanted to This goes back to, this is an overarching thing that we keep seeing, whereas these people who are considered geniuses and beloved, they talk too much.
34:01Something happens and the world just turns on you. And it's such an interesting phenomenon where the work hasn't really changed. People still like what you do, but something you're doing just doesn't gel anymore with popular culture at large and people start turning on you.
34:17Jason Stewart:Yeah, but also I like that Tarantino is like, I'm an old dog from the old generation. I have$100 million, a lot of power in this town, and I'm going to say Paul Dano is the weakest actor in SAG. Who did he say? I mean, it's so funny. Which is a great and funny quote. Sick burn. In a world where nobody says a single bad thing about anyone. Who did he say this to? That's the question. is this like variety of the hollywood reporter the new york times or is this fucking dax shepherd is this some podcast no offense to us i don't yeah i'm not sure who he said it to if you're gonna spit a bar like that you need to make sure that's in some legacy media is all i'm saying that needs to be that needs that feels like something that cannot exist uh on a on call her daddy and the irony is paul dano has won the screen actors guild award for outstanding performance in motion picture he's won the the literal award defining that you are not the worst actor in sag but in fact that year the best actor in sag he also tarantino called paul dano quote weak sauce any guy any guy who likes like any guy who oh he said he said it on on the brady Sonalas podcast.

37:14Jason Stewart:Yeah, he said there will be blood. It's supposed to be a two-hander, but Dano is weak sauce, man.
37:22Jason Stewart:Which is exactly what Tarantino should be saying. It's so cool. But also, he's supposed to be playing a weak sauce guy. That is the irony that his dad is the least weak sauce guy in the American oil boom. He's willing to step on the neck of his own child, do whatever it takes to become the most powerful man in the world. And the irony is that no matter what he does, his bitch made little son is not going to go along in succession. Yeah, I don't know. So you need him to be weak sauce. We need these actors and these roles to be annoying. Like the girl in I Love L.A. who's... Odessa. Yeah, Odessa on that show.
38:07Jason Stewart:I think a part of the reason why she was cast in that is because Rachel Senna is smart enough to know this person is good at playing an annoying person that we love to hate, hate to love. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I agree. That's like good. And Paul Dano was cast in that role because he is able to be a weak sauce person that annoys Daniel Plainview, his dad, as well as the audience. So we really feel like we're in it. And we also really need to, if we're on Rachel Sennett's side and you're dealing with this annoying problem client, we need to feel annoyed by this problem client as well for it to all work.
38:46He definitely was too open. He definitely doesn't know what a podcast is and he probably knows Brett and he probably just got open.
38:53Jason Stewart:No, Tarantino has done a lot of pots. That doesn't mean he knows what they are, though. Do you know what I'm saying? Is this thing on? Yeah, he doesn't know. If it's not printed on 70mm film and available for two days This is for the E-Network, right? at New Beverly, it's not important to him. So I honestly think he knows what a podcast is, but he doesn't know that people listen to it, maybe. Maybe he thinks it's just a recorded conversation amongst friends and it's not distributed. That could be, I feel like some distribution rights stuff he's scarred from over the years maybe that's very possible but also the fact that you don't care to look into it is also exactly what i want my tarantinos of the world to be doing i agree let let it spray because you can take the damage he's gonna have a couple more duds in him though before he sputters up like he's also it's a little self-immolation he's been threatening to never make another film again for years and everyone cries and complains like no no you're the best you can't and he's like no i'm done i'm done maybe this is his way of he's gonna alienate sip it he's gonna alienate every actor so he can't make a movie he's just gonna start gonna make myself but this is this is also uh core jefferson's the film the plot of his film american fiction based on the spike lee joint uh where you're like i'm gonna go full recharge just to crash this plane and then the world's like hell yeah this is sick you know what i mean like tarantino's trying to crash his plane and and maybe the the anti-woke mob is gonna embrace him more spike lee is has ruined his legacy with clothes i don't even know i don't even know if he could make him he could never make him absolutely he could never make a movie good enough to to rebound from the what the clothes that he wears sitting courtside at the next game it's true um there's there's nothing he could do artistically avatar for there's nothing you do artistically and still there's nothing no i don't see it for him i really don't see him should we should we talk about our friend jeremy o 'harris or is that a little too touchy watchy no bro i'm over here i'm trying to free j i'm trying to i was asking you're you got you have boots on the ground i tried to i dude i was at the i saw some cops on the street yesterday and i opened my translate out ground i got my i got my i got my visvin moccasins on the streets of Shibuya.
41:11I'm opening up my Translate app. I'm going up to cops being like, let me free the guys. And they don't understand. When I say free the guys in Japanese, they don't understand what I mean.
41:21Jason Stewart:Right, right, right. They're like, Max B got out like four weeks ago. Jim Jones posted it. I said free the wave and they don't know who I'm talking. They don't know I'm talking about a playwright. They're like, different kind of wave god, Jeremy O 'Hara. I mean, Jeremy got popped. He had a little something in his dop kit. we've all been there i mean to be to be fair all been there we've all been there i the amount of times that i've dug into my fifth pocket and found something that shouldn't have been there after taking a flight is i mean that we've all but if you party has happened to you it's it's kind of like an entertainer's delight is but but with an international jet setter like there's always yeah if you're traveling internationally that much there's residue you know the the suitcase is never unpacked it's the go bag is always ready to go sometimes the go bag got a little go-go in it especially especially and this is a little pro tip uh the the dop kit i i have a whole separate set of my needs that stay there i never unpack the dop kit all of my facial creams moisturizers cleansers sound like trent resner all my all my shit's in the bag i got my i got my fragrance i've got my eye cream toothbrush toothpaste you never open it it stays in the suitcase and it's ready to go it's you don't have to refill it and if look a little molly gets in there i don't know man it was sitting next to the molly gets stuck in the margin deodorant on the inside you know exactly bro what are you supposed to do bro but i think this is a i think this is an error in a in a in a jet set party lifestyle this is kind of what the the this is what you're playing with this is the kind of fire you're playing with here but the worst place it could possibly happen i'm going to say singapore is the worst yeah but i feel like japan's top three worst places it could happen yeah japan is very strict with that stuff but the punishment's not as severe as other indonesian regions no i mean i i'm i i kid you not when i say free the guys but i hope i hope because i mean yeah i remember um there's a dj uk dj bbc guy like 15 years ago groove writer and i he was in uh uae and i think he had like you know like a nug in his pocket that somebody gave him at a you know a gig in turkey or something like that and he was flying over whatever and he got he got four years for you know a nug in the fifth pocket oh bro i ain't doing i mean i was reading up on japanese jails and it's it doesn't sound i think you're not allowed to sit down it's tough the good for the good for the glutes of course as long as your hams can stay loose but that's not that's not great yeah that's what's the name of the fitness class with the woman's name in studio city it's not terry it's like something oh tracy anderson yeah yeah yeah he's getting free tracy he's getting free free tracy free the guys free jeremy but no i mean hopefully he gets out soon because i really do think that's a mistake everyone has made but i you know i i think that the uh dealing with uh the law in extremely foreign countries is uh because you know this is my first time in japan and i am learning like english they don't really do that like it's not really like they'll give you an ipad to order from and shit but it's not like when you go to some of these places and everybody just kind of speaks english it's pretty much it's pretty much like we speak japanese and and you're here and good luck is the is the vibe that i've gotten which i respect because i think that's what keeps a culture rich you know and i gotta say i haven't seen that many white boys i have not seen that many white english or die bitch yeah i have many white boys it's off season i guess so i guess so but i i was surprised i don't know yeah do you know the migratory patterns of the western white boy as he moves into the japanese regions to mate dude i mean i've i've i do you think i would have seen i mean i went to dover street market in genza i didn't see any i went to bring your duck call over in dover street and you didn't get any hits yeah i went to the new la mer store there wasn't even one it was crazy bro if it's quiet at the la mer store i went to this la mer store the la mer store which is in this like beautiful old house and it's like in the neighborhood it's an unbelievable retail experience like like 10 10 and of course there's like a really hot like japanese guy working there and he speaks full english like no accent and we're talking and you know he's a better dj than me probably well i'm getting to that and he's like oh what's up you know where are you from what's up i'm like oh bro i'm you know from new york i'm just here for you know for a week kicking the tires my first time and and i'm like oh have you like what's up he's like oh my dad's from oregon but my mom's japanese so i like grew up blah blah blah and then i'm like i'm like he's like i was actually just in america for like six months and i was like oh where where were you he's like newport beach i was like bro for what he's like oh that's where the model apartment was i was like this motherfucker okay he was extremely good looking and very cool but i was like wow this guy really got it all and then he followed me on instagram i looked at his instagram and he's a real model this ain't no play play shit so i was impressed i was impressed but i was like of all the places to go imagine the culture shock from japan to newport beach i mean i would say it's not maybe it's not that different but i thought about it for four seconds and it's yeah it's worlds apart like new york new york to like tokyo to new york tokyo to london you know tokyo to shanghai whatever but tokyo to newport bro uh-uh the only real through line that i'm thinking is like honda civics are run prevalent in both districts but otherwise otherwise i'm not seeing a through line a through line but yeah i was a i was just happy to hear newport beach brought up you know on the other side of the world port beach mentioned um oh yeah well yeah so i went to the beach today hit air one on the way owen wilson sighting at the air one calabasas no place i'd rather be all as well in the world i feel like you might have an owen wilson impression is that paul i don't want to put the spot but not really not really i mean all you have to do is say wow oh yeah and that's pretty much it that's true there's a he's got he's got one or two that he's known for if you can get those yeah you just say wow okay but um i wanted to talk about the golden globe podcast awards the ones that people are paying for yeah well i mean this is the first year where podcasts were got their own category in the golden globes to try and get more i guess more star power over there oh no i'm sorry i'm sorry i was thinking of the variety thing where the deck went around where it was like you can pay basically 100 grand and get the award this is this is the actual golden gloves so this is a little they're not going to let you pay to play like that well you do you do pay for your award for the golden gloves but it's not just a direct it's not like the little pdf for your peptides where you just go down the list and let me grab one of them one of them sure it's a little more it's a little more jared cushionery you got to spread it around for some holdings companies and this that and the other thing it's a little kawai leonard financial wizardry but we got uh we got our man dax shepherd armchair expert call her daddy good hang with amy poehler mel robbins podcast smart lists and npr is up first and all the every show in order to be nominated you have to submit yourself and pay i don't know i don't know how much money you have to pay to submit but you have to submit yourself which is why we have this list and it's not like you know this american life or joe rogan or any of these podcasts that are much bigger to be fair and long and have to be much more of a legacy this is what it should be like this is what it because it's just more hollywood shit but also yeah i mean it's the golden globe so it's the epitome of an award that means nothing so it might as well be podcasts that mean i mean look I think, I think, let's not, let's not, I don't, I, no, but I think everybody wants to win.
49:07I, I, that whole, that whole mindset of like, fuck the Grammys, fuck the Oscars. I don't give a fuck. I don't need awards. Shut up, dude. You do. It would be nice to, it's nice to be recognized by your peers, no matter how corrupt it is. Like, it's nice to be recognized. It's nice to get a trophy. It's nice for your work. It also means you'll make more money. It's just a good thing to happen. This whole like denial about it is crazy to me because you're lying. Maybe it's not the number one thing you care about, but you definitely care. It's a milestone that you won't say no to. Yeah, everybody cares.
49:35Stop. You're lying.
49:36Jason Stewart:Unless you're truly punk rock with it, but 99 % of the people, they do care. There ain't no podcaster that's 100 % punk rock with it. I'll tell you that. It's true, of course. Even Toby from HBO would take a golden goal. H2O, not HBO. Yeah, I heard Warner Brothers and H2O are going to merge, actually. But I think that for me, where my line is with that stuff, if somebody wants to give me an award, I'm stoked on that. I'm happy to accept it. Everything is all good. But when you have to submit yourself and pay money, to me, that's where it stops. Every award you have to submit yourself. And obviously, when you are a band or an actor or whatever, person that's big enough to receive one of these awards, you're not the one who's licking the stamp and writing the check to the Screen Actors Guild yourself.
50:33Jason Stewart:You're telling your team to do it. Your manager is handling it for you so you don't have to put the dog down yourself. You pay your vet to do it kind of thing. but to me that's the part where it's like i don't i wouldn't i don't want an award that i have to buy well i mean i want an award that i win yeah of course but like you're buying them all somehow like if you're like i'm saying like in an indirect like this like if penske media is selling fucking seventy thousand dollar tickets and that's like a clear way to buy one or whatever yeah for the for the golden globes but it's like i mean the grammys or the fyc stuff for the oscars like people are spending millions of dollars to make sure that their client or their artist wins the award so it's it's just sort of like how how willing are you to look the other way on how much they're paying and how yeah you know what i mean it's like i i think it's like there's direct ways which feels slimy and everybody gets mad about but like this is the system like those billboards on sunset boulevard aren't free yeah like the back and the back cover of hollywood reporter is not free i guess it makes sense to have a fake award for a fake industry about a fake you know your acting is fake and the award is fake so it should all be fake but I think it's gonna help I think what people forget and what I think is overlooked is that it does help your career like it's not in vain like it's not like it isn't obviously it's an ego thing but it's also like once you're an Oscar winning actress or a Golden Globe winning actor that does matter like that matters to someone who makes decisions people are rarely turned off by it when you invite your hinge date over to your house and you got a couple Emmys behind the Macintosh amplifier.
52:13Jason Stewart:No one's going to be like, ew, you have Emmys? Yeah, yeah. It's just, I don't know why. My pussy dry up. But does Amy Poehler deserve one? Who knows? I mean, I like her work in Parks and Rec. Like, wow, you have a Grammy and then you go and you're like, composing mixdown. Ugh. I thought this was, yeah, I mean, I don't know. That's exactly. Non-classical mixing engineer. That's exactly the list, though, that I thought it would be of who would actually. Because I don't think that... I'm surprised there's NPR on there at all. I guess they felt like they had to do that. Okay, well, I will ask you this.
52:47Who do you think will win
52:49Jason Stewart:and who do you think should win? Hopefully Call Her Daddy wins. I agree with that. I would love to see that. Call Her Daddy should win. I think Call Her Daddy is the most... He said, bet it all on, put 600 down on the roulette table. Put it all on daddy. It ain't the first time I put 600 down on a blonde hottie. But I think that... Okay, well, it would be cool if they did a poly market, not for who's going to win that, but for more tiny, incidental statistics like this quarterback, his shoe is going to fall off in the third quarter or whatever it is, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like over under on how many times Call Her Daddy says, you guys, during her acceptance speech.
53:31Jason Stewart:Well, I'll tell you what, I don't want to hear the speech, that's for sure. I think she should win, but I don't want to hear her talk. That's going to be some Paul Dano-level art. that's that's true her getting a globe her coming up there with an unwell energy drink like for holding it in front of the camera okay maybe this is a better question who is going to be the most self-deprecating in their in their award speech because dax shepherd for sure dax is very self deprecating call her daddy is very self-deprecating i think that call her daddy is the most culturally like i think that has been i think that is like an it's just a bigger deal than the rest of these like we like armchair expert is popular but it's not there's no like there's no i don't know it's like people listen to it call her daddy's like a movement for lack of a better term and yeah i don't mean that with with respect it just is it's like people worship at the at the foot of her they don't worship the foot of dax shepherd they listen to it because it's on dax is not invited into the uh into the booth during the super bowl yeah it's a different she's doing her daddy is she's doing a different thing and it's i mean from a business standpoint it's unbelievable it's amazing because I don't think it's very good and I've tried to like it because I respect the whole thing but like I mean it used to be good the old daddy it hits a it hits a note that really works for a certain kind of person I think the certain kind of person hits a note for is the girl who's spending the most money on everything you know what I mean like like she's buying she's buying the nicest Stanley mug her her she's got a fucking Birkin if she if she's got real bread she's buying tickets to the show you know she's buying the sweatsuit it's like people who shop and spend money and that's the audience that you want if you really want to like create a juggernaut kind of because it can't just be like i like show you know that's not enough it can't be i like show you have to factor in your hoodie sales and your cbd moisturizer sales and to give her credit she's not she wasn't famous you know what i mean like she she really did get it out the mud in some ways she's she jugged it like compared to the other people on this list you know what i mean like amy poehler is a household name.
55:32She is.
55:32Jason Stewart:And her podcast feels like it's only been around for six months. It feels like it's been around for six months. I mean, I think it kind of has. But that's the other factor is since it's the very first time the award is being given out, do you factor in the fact that Dax has been doing this for years and he's got hundreds of episodes or, you know, do we give it to NPR because they really, you know, are sort of the godfathers of it, the ones who deserve it? I can't believe... The Tom Cruise Honorary Award. I can't believe we didn't get a Marin since he retired. this feels like the only time you could have given it to him.
56:03Jason Stewart:Well, that's because he thought it would be to submit himself for our Golden Globe for podcasting. That's why he didn't do it. Joe Rogan didn't submit himself either. Yeah, I don't I think Marin wants the acceptance of this kind of person a lot more than Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan lives in Texas and smokes cigars. Mark Marin is an actor actively. Like he quit podcasting to be an actor. Yeah, Mark Marin just thinks it's all stupid and Joe Rogan is like, I can't be in the same room as the lizard people. Yeah, I mean yeah mark maron what's stupid or winning a golden globe for your groundbreaking podcast or playing guitar what do you think in that what do you i i think you i think it's this is better than your licks yeah would him and tim heidecker rather get a americana grammy nom or a golden globe podcast that's a that's a tough call that's really a tough call they're both in the americana space like sugar fish
56:56Jason Stewart:holiday parties shout out to our friends pia and davide went to their their annual holiday bash at their home who was the sponsor this year uh it was just the good old baron cheney people the lpa people you know there was a martini tower there was a santa claus there was carer there were carolers not carolers wow funky catered they got the funky big ziti and the funky focaccia i do love that cigarettes everywhere i'm so happy i'm not going to expensive dog i'm not going to a single holiday party it's unbelievable i missed that's crazy this is the i i went out of town when they all happened and i didn't even i don't think about it because i don't care about christmas because i'm an adult but it's kind of crazy you care about socializing though i do care about socializing but i don't when people i don't know dude when like i don't the christmas is is the wrong thing to celebrate in my opinion i think maybe we're in the business world we're celebrating another great year doing business that's true and yours and that's why that's true yeah carolyn and i this morning on the dog walk we were talking about how us as a family we need to have our own tom cruise coconut cake that gets sent out i have to hear about that fucking cake one more time i feel like i know somebody's like matt bella needs to prove that he gets it or stop talking about it which is really funny matt i know you're just doing screen grabs of the cake from shutterstock or imager i know that i need you holding the coconut cake with today's date on the la newspaper on the variety yeah today's issue of variety it's really funny it'd be really funny if you did that but i mean the the the thumbprint cookies that i make every year i'll talk to somebody you know Roy and Allie, see if they got a commissary kitchen and a couple bakers.
58:45Jason Stewart:Give them$300 for the day and just bake off 500 of these cookies. I need$100. Send them out? No, bro. Come on. Let me get$100. I'll pay these fucking bakers, bro. Let me get$100. You want a honey pack? No, I don't want$100. No, I don't want$100. Okay. Well, I mean, the more you get, you just know this wholesale-wise. I can give you a better deal per cookie cost, depending on how many units you want. Oh, don't talk to me about skews right now. With so few skews on your... Yeah, I wore my Hanover hat today to the beach. I was almost considering dunking it in the ocean to give it that sea kiss and then letting it air dry out.
59:27Jason Stewart:I was worried it was going to get Shrinkiana on me though. Yeah, I know. I've actually... I don't think I've ever done that, but I guess it would shrink a little bit. I mean, it'll stretch back out. You got to do it. i would i would assume but that's that's a lot of work yeah go home do a cold water wash and then a little hang dry you'll be all right but good good money uh i am i'm gonna be djing in la friday the 19th at homage i played there last year with uh friend of the show george for carolyn's birthday in january but this will be like a little holiday party kind of dj set i'll be playing i think from 11 till 2 um at homage downtown chinatown everybody is welcome up into the pub come through say howdy chris i believe might even be in town as well oh there's ring tingling time there's no believing it's a fact baby i'll be there oh and i'm gonna feel i'm going home for one day which feels like a real mistake but you know whatever here we are i i didn't plan properly you know la is in between japan and new york oh yeah yeah i definitely know that i definitely know that i had a whole plan and then i looked at the plan i realized i'd made an error sure but you know whatever it's fine i'll be okay look i would say for the amount of flights that you've taken in 2025 your on base percentage your error rate that's pretty low still very low you're still you're still doing very very very good overall and i i'm i'm also happy and pleased to report I'm diamond medallion again for another year wow good for you man welcome back it feels good I love when any of my friends and family join my other family my chosen family the delta the delta family of brands this ain't lab grown either bro no we don't do that lab grown shit over here how long gone thank you guys for listening we'll be back next week or yeah back next week with more podcasts I don't know what fucking day it is if If you have a list for Tokyo, don't send it to me, please.

1:01:35Jason Stewart:No matcha, right? No, no matcha, for the love of God. Actually, I think after we finish, later today, there's a coffee shop that was recommended to me by my friend Zach Weiss, where they just blast classical music and no one can talk. Ooh. Which apparently has been there for like 100 years. I'm fascinated by this. This feels like something I need to kick the tires on. That sounds pretty wonderful. I know it does nothing like getting hella caffeinated and not being able to it's like doing coke alone but we'll see how it goes doing coke alone yeah after this I'm going to hit the showers and then go get some Peking duck oh that's nice that feels celebratory in it's own little way doesn't it a little holiday duck for the season alright bro we'll have fun tell W.

From the publisher
One-on-one pod today, Chris is in Tokyo, and Jason is home in Los Angeles. We discuss Jason's early OC life and the death of the beloved venue Chain Reaction, revisionist history of The XX, Timothée Chalamet perhaps getting too big for his Chrome britches, and generational differences in self-promotion. In defense of Alana Haim's silver fox, Tarantino flames Paul Dano, Free Jeremy O. Harris, the Golden Globe's podcast award, and we brainstorm of what our version of Tom Cruise's "coconut cake" will be.
