I can go down to Luke right down the street and find out. I can find out from Luke. I got back from Tokyo on Monday. Tuesday, I was in New York. I went to the Marty Supreme after party. Stayed out till 1 a.m.

1:27Jason Stewart:I got invited to that party. I felt proud of myself.

1:29Chris Black:Got up at 4.30, and now I'm here, but I felt -

I was with Sarah and Jeff, and Sarah was like, he's here. We'll get it. We'll make it happen. Then we waited. I didn't see him. I'm like, God, that's so annoying. I don't - I tired of the creator move. Get out of the way.

1:55Jason Stewart:It wasn't like there was a line to take photos with him. It was just. I just thought it'd be funny. It was just you're waiting for your moment.

2:01Chris Black:Listen to what happened. This is unbelievable. We walk out of the National Arts Club. There's an Escalade pulls up. The door opens. Cuban's getting out of his car as we were leaving. I was like, Cuban, I got to get a flick. He's like, yeah, of course. And I'm like, your fly's down. And his fly was down and he zipped it up. And then he had a little shorty with him. And Jeff was like, do you think. Do you think. Really? was getting topped off in the escalade and i was like yes i do a little slap bowl in the scalade do you think mark cuba was getting topped off on the way i can't play i can't play ping pong with a full tank i wonder i anyway so but i i mean how many how many billions does the guy have enough to get top from a young lady on the way to the marty supreme after party and it could have

2:48Jason Stewart:been i mean we don't know that it was a piece you know what i mean it could be felt peace-ish

2:53Chris Black:by the hurt what what when i asked him for the she it wasn't his girlfriend i don't think it was his girlfriend i think it was a koc i think it was a 12 piece i don't think what's the difference

3:01Jason Stewart:between a piece and a girlfriend i was thinking more like personal assistant stylist consigliere

3:08Chris Black:sister i'm just saying i didn't feel like they knew each other super well that's just the vibe i was catching okay okay that's the vibe i was catching but this has never happened to me before i felt nauseous from jet lag okay like i was getting my haircut on tuesday and i was like i'm gonna throw up in the fucking barbershop i feel awful and i've never felt and then yesterday

3:29Jason Stewart:i flew here you do yoga on the plane or no yeah i did diplo yoga on the plane well that's the problem you didn't do i mean you have to that's the problem no hyperbaric chamber no well that's So today I got here.

3:41Chris Black:I work out with Hunter. I hit fucking next health. Get my drip. Get my B12 shot. What'd you get in that bag? Daddy's back. I don't know. Whatever the hangover one is.

3:52Jason Stewart:Okay. So sober eight years. Give me the hangover pack. You're nauseous. And it worked.

3:57Chris Black:Yeah. I was like, this is so bad. Like I was like, I've never felt this bad. Like it never affects me.

4:03Jason Stewart:So you're just like the sheer act of your body going back and forth and back and forth over several time zones in a short amount of time with me it was just too much okay so i mean just flu seasons here i just want you to take care of yourself you know yeah that's what

4:19Chris Black:i'm doing yeah that's that's and i have plans every night here and i'm gonna stay out on friday night till one in the morning get up at 4 30 again to go back to new york so it's it's christmas it's christmas this but i feel i i was just like i've never felt this bad from jet lag i guess this is what people are talking about like this is this shit is real i don't i never feel bad from

4:38Jason Stewart:jet lag i just can't i just can't sleep this is my only thing i have no problem with that's the

4:43Chris Black:weird and so i finished the haircut crazy and it was cold as fuck and i was like do i have to take a car back am i that much of a pussy i was like no i got on the fucking city bike like a fucking man and felt like i was gonna throw up for the whole ride home and made it and that cold wind in my face thing brought me back to life damn bro i'm sorry oh no it's fine no it's not fine It's fine. I mean, look, the worst part's over now.

5:07Jason Stewart:It's fine-ish. Is it? I mean, I don't know how many nights of no sleep you can go before you -

5:12Chris Black:No, that's the thing. I sleep fine.

5:14Jason Stewart:Okay. Well, I mean, I'm here in 1 a.m.

5:17Chris Black:bed, 4.30, wake up. Oh, I'm not sleeping very long, but I sleep. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not tossing and turning. I'm just not asleep long enough. Short and sweet is your sleep pattern. Sabrina Carpenter's sleep pattern.

5:28Jason Stewart:Okay. So your circadian rhythm is double time? yeah it's it's 140 not 70 for my eight tracks so we can talk so it's language you understand yeah it's a vpm thing damn yeah i mean i'm feeling a little frazzled not much not as much as you because i haven't been traveling but just you know a lot of stuff going on getting getting all the books closed up before the end of the year people are like content creating as usual people

5:55Chris Black:are i'm like bro it's fucking thursday like what are we talking about we got we got two full days next week too i would like to remind you of course and i'll be using them i don't understand what people are doing like what do you want to do like what what do you want more time with your family

6:07Jason Stewart:and friends well i think what it is i mean i think they do i think maybe they just want less time with their slack sure less time with their discord well not their discord but their more time with their discord more time with my other discords that i use for my other time my other stuff yeah i mean i think people are the luck this is still the thing i was wondering when the when the the phenomenon would end where you would hear like oh it's the end of the year and actually if the companies don't use up all of their money by the end of the year they actually don't get it next year so it's wheeling and dealing and i'm always like how does that keep happening every time and then it keeps happening every year since i was you know for the last 20 years because the people that run these fortune 500 billion dollar corporations are just as dumb as you and i are and just as procrastinative and lazy and forgetful and oh for sure it does happen

7:03Chris Black:that happens and then my personal favorite it's we're in we're officially in last shoot of the year with the best team has it been a year has it been a whole year it's it's this is this week on Instagram, you're going to see a lot of that. A lot of last shoot of the year with the best team heart.

7:22Jason Stewart:And all these brands, they need to get the shoot in before the year, but they can't let the money out until next year. It's interesting how that works.

7:32Chris Black:If you're going to rush to get something done, I want that money before January 1st. Yeah, it costs money to hurry up and wait. I'm going to send Susanna a knock on doors. Fucking New Year's Day. Where's my money at? Quick book. i need the books quick

7:48Jason Stewart:uh yeah i i had i had a pilates today the there was a shoot like a video shoot of some sort above and then some guy came down and told the class right before me yeah said like hey we're shooting you guys got to turn the music off we can't hear the fucking titanium remix featuring david guetta

8:11Chris Black:and see a you're like actually that works for me i don't know if you guys mind so we did it we did

8:16Jason Stewart:a silent like a no music pilates for the first time and the instructor was like you guys perform so well without the music like you were going slow and because like the whole thing with pilates you move slow and methodical methodical so when they're when you're hearing the dua lipa mashup or whatever it seems incongruous with with that meditative uh fitness and she was like damn maybe we should start doing all these classes with no music and i was i didn't have the heart to tell her that there's other music that you can play yeah that isn't you know berghine i would love

Read the full transcript

8:53Chris Black:yeah music for airports on the fucking reformer i mean there's there's a big spectrum between

8:58Jason Stewart:brian eno and and david gutta that's that's funny that that had never crossed her mind

9:04Chris Black:where it's like, really? Really? Never. I know. It's a different thing. I still have a theory that instructors of any fitness class have to have bad taste in music. Otherwise, it doesn't work.

9:16Jason Stewart:If the taste is too good, then the training is not good enough. It can't.

9:19Chris Black:Yeah. This doesn't work. Something about it doesn't work. I really believe that. I walk in.

9:23Jason Stewart:They got B-side Bon Iver playing that works perfectly. I'm like, I'm not going to get the pump I need today. Oh, today?

9:30Chris Black:Oh, no. It's actually a live cellist we have today. if that works for you guys.

9:34Jason Stewart:It's actually, we got DJ Them Jeans in here to do an ambient set and everyone, I'm out.

9:39Chris Black:What's the ambient, what was it called? The ambient thing that people used to go to under the blankets? Under the blankets? No, but it was like a whole thing where they were clearly on drugs. Diplo's house? Huh? A Diplo's house? Yeah.

9:50Jason Stewart:Oh, oh, oh, the solstice something. It was like weekly.

9:55Chris Black:Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Rye got canceled and I feel like it kind of dried up.

9:59Jason Stewart:It got a little, things slowed down a little bit. That's what came on the other day. I think it stemmed from the Eslon people. It was like their outreach. That song came the other day.

10:07Chris Black:I was like, bro, this song is so good.

10:10Jason Stewart:There's music for airports, and then there's music for dinner parties.

10:14Chris Black:The original one where people were like, is this a woman? When that came out and everybody was freaking out about it. Yeah. Amazing song. Yeah, amazing song. Still comes on a lot in a grocery store type vibe, actually. Oh, really? Yeah.

10:26Jason Stewart:Hear that shit. Safeway.

10:28Chris Black:Very Safeway. Yeah, very Safeway. when I'm pumping gas. I'm going to do it the same.

10:33Jason Stewart:Yeah, and I started, I realized, you know, I think I asked a few months ago, like, should, is it bad for men to go to Pilates classes? Like, should I do my part as a cis male and just not go? And I, every time I go, I'm the only guy there for sure. It's so interesting because I feel like in New York, it's not that extreme. It's, I used to see a fella every once in a while, like a guy with his Latina girlfriend, but it's just me solo. Nothing wrong with that. I've started trying to think of ways to make myself... Smaller? Yes. So I've been doing... It's literally hard for you. It's very hard for me.

11:12Jason Stewart:So I trained myself to stop sweating. I don't know how. I used to be a clean up. I think that might just be getting better at it too. Yeah, I think that is that.

11:24Chris Black:Because when Alex goes, she has a full day. Well, yeah, good for her. I'm just like, bitch what did you exercise because if i exercise i'm drenched no it's the same same way with

11:33Jason Stewart:carolyn i mean i don't get girls who are good at pilates yeah no sure i want to sweat though absolutely you know smear me across that vinyl i did so so i started and i started moving in silence because i think that's the biggest thing is like they hate to hear them okay gangster all

11:51Chris Black:right this is i'm moving in silence now no big things coming slide on the ops you're saying that you're not grunting and breathing and suffering. Correct. Or if I am, I'm doing it internally. Are any of these chicks trying to talk to you? Not like that, just in general.

12:06Jason Stewart:Yeah, the older ones. Yeah. Older ones really want to know what's going on with me. Because they just think it's crazy that you're there? I think they're just happy to see a man.

12:15Chris Black:That's what I was going to say. I think that there is, I see both sides of this case, where I think I would say half the chicks are probably like, oh, thank God there's a guy here, all these bitches. I don't want to hear the hens clucking. and then there's others that are like why is this fucking guy here this is our safe space it's half

12:30Jason Stewart:and half but then when when somebody comes down from the from the next door and starts yelling hey you guys gotta turn this shit off you're like hey bro don't talk to them like that that's when that's when big country comes in and says what kind of budget are we working you know i work in hollywood hey you got a problem hey you got a problem oh you're recording um that's great well we're trying to make money here with our business and was he a dick apparently he was a little dicky

12:56Chris Black:i didn't see him oh you're telling me a production guy was kind of a dick i walked in as he was

13:01Jason Stewart:apparently leaving and then you know the the women that were older than me there's three or four of them and they're like oh we could have used you a minute ago but when i used to throw parties back in hollywood they would be shooting above or next door and we'd be you know i got fucking kid cutty on someone's shoulders right now. MasterCraft Remix is going down right now, bitch.

13:23Chris Black:Cuddy's on MasterCraft's shoulders right now. You want me to turn this down?

13:26Jason Stewart:You expect me to turn this down? This is a function one sound system.

13:29Chris Black:There's 100 French guys in here. We can't turn this down. They brought their CDs.

13:34Jason Stewart:The kills are outside. I'm not going to drop it. Hey, who's going to tell Jamie he hasn't turned it down?

13:40Chris Black:Not me. I'm not telling Allison Mossard anything.

13:42Jason Stewart:When that happens to me, it's cha-ching. It's like, oh, well, how much do you want to pay per hour? Because you got them bent over and ready to go. And I would make two grand, and I'd give the bar manager a little form. Because you would just turn it down a little bit, basically. Yeah, we'd turn it down halfway and negotiate for one hour instead of the whole night. Give me a couple grand, peel a couple hundos off for the guy.

14:09Chris Black:I mean, they have that. I think they have allotted petty cash for those purposes, exactly. Yeah, exactly. but now with Hollywood shrinking who knows this guy might not have a dollar in his name

14:17Jason Stewart:petty cash doesn't exist anymore unless your drug dealer unless your peptides guy doesn't take Venmo right now

14:25Chris Black:it'd have been cool if you had to buck up to a guy because you're like hey we don't talk to women like that type shit get behind me ladies

14:33Jason Stewart:that's the beauty as soon as I finish putting on my sockies it's over for you

We're tracking our sleep score. But after the age of 30, which unfortunately we are, even responsibly drinking a little booze will make you feel less than 100 % the next day.

16:27Chris Black:And look, there are obviously more negative effects from alcohol than just dehydration. Otherwise, how could alcohol be hard on your brain and liver? It has a depressant effect on specific receptors in your brain, and it's toxic to your liver. That's bad, Jason. What can we do? Is there a fix for this? Is there a way to sort of hack this?

16:46Jason Stewart:That is bad, Chris. There is a good one. I like to drink. I like to put them down a little bit. Certain alcohols give me certain feelings and headaches and bad feelings. When I drink wine, I won't be feeling so good the next day compared to something else, and that's where I like to grab a little Cheers. They appeared over on Shark Tank.

19:23Jason Stewart:they don't know that i'm i'm not a full bitch oh i am no i'm talking about me okay i'm talking about me but um the last step of the puzzle that i think is good for making myself small is i'm doing a shower right before with no no other scents yeah so there's no like not even like deodorant there's

19:44Chris Black:no like neutral body mists i think you're i think you're being too respectful i know well i just

19:51Jason Stewart:really like doing it i've i've been really into it lately and i just want to like you know pay

19:56Chris Black:respect to the discipline here's the thing about it you're paying respect by charging that credit

20:00Jason Stewart:card and that's all they care about is pilates expensive i didn't notice i just don't know how

20:05Chris Black:any of those places are in business what do you mean dude the machines are ten thousand dollars a piece the rent it just buy them in bulk it doesn't make sense like the math on those never makes nothing it just doesn't i'm just like how does this actually work because you're only busy in the i mean in la it's a little different but usually places like that are busy in the morning busy after work maybe they have a couple dead ones in the middle of the day but in la i guess

20:28Jason Stewart:those are probably busier yeah i mean i go like 10 11 if you're doing eight classes a day and

20:32Chris Black:they're 40 bucks and there's 12 people that's not a lot of money you gotta pay the instructor I honestly don't know how it works. This is not a shot at the system because clearly it works. There's millions of these all over the place.

20:43Jason Stewart:Any Pilates instructors just chime in to Chris's DMs.

20:47Chris Black:No, honestly, I want to know how it works because it clearly does. I mean, this place, they have a few, though. So I think maybe it's like restaurants. There's multiple locations. Like restaurants. You've got to open a few before you make any money.

20:55Jason Stewart:Yeah, but I think the final step is acquiring a Legree reformer in my house at all times.

21:03Chris Black:I mean, you could definitely find one on Craigslist.

21:05Jason Stewart:You just said they're$10 ,000. That's intimidating.

21:08Chris Black:Maybe they're eight, but you can still find one. That's also - Low miles, get one low miles. No, that's just the kind of bring a trailer. That's just the kind of thing that people buy and never use and sell on Craigslist. Absolutely. That's why you could get it cheap, not because they are cheap.

21:20Jason Stewart:There's so many times where I'm in there and she's telling me to do XYZ, do this move, and I just don't want to do it for whatever reason. I just don't like it, and I'll just start doing my own thing. And I think, man, it would be so nice to just -

21:33Chris Black:It's interesting you said you're trying to make yourself small, and then you're disobeying the teacher. I would say that's worse than wearing deodorant.

21:38Jason Stewart:Well, that's because the Legree machines are ableist and not every, just the geometry and geometrizing with my body. You're right. So sometimes, you know, it's a big old salmon, doesn't fit on the cedar plant.

21:51Chris Black:You should get one. You should get, yeah, you should look it up. I'm sure you could get one for the low.

21:54Jason Stewart:Legree XL. Anyone looking to move their XL? Moonves, you got an extra one in the garage? I don't think they have any.

22:01Chris Black:I don't think they make, I think it's only one size.

22:03Jason Stewart:Carolyn says Mr. Legree himself was a tall man or is a tall man. Well, I think the idea is that you're supposed to be able to make it work no matter what, flexibility-wise. Oh, no, I mean, for some stuff, yes. Some stuff, it's just like, it just doesn't, you'll be on here and they're like, okay, do a bicep curl. And my arm doesn't even go, like it's behind my back, like I'm being arrested and that's maxed out. you know it's tough some shit is great but all i want to do is just smoke a nice um pure beauty how long gone joint and just freak it for two hours at home just doesn't interest me at all

22:38Chris Black:like i like going somewhere i don't want to be in a garage i mean i like the idea of building one

23:35Jason Stewart:He's like I can't go, I go to bed at 7.30 And have my acai ceremony

23:39Chris Black:Speaking of yoga, speaking of Pilates

23:42Jason Stewart:Yeah So let's see here Oh I was a little stressed earlier today I had a Cigarette on the way over car cigarette how many times i was asking carolyn this last week how many times a year is the perfect amount of times to smoke in your car i would never do that saying that zero is not an option because smoking in your car is inherently cool i would say quarterly you can yeah i was thinking four to six times a year six and maybe maybe three of those are in the holiday season oh you could you know what i mean like like your vacation days you usually save them up and spend

24:19Chris Black:them all in the last two weeks of the year okay i just feel like i would never do that i guess i used to smoke the six cigarettes of christmas i used to smoke weed in the car all the time of

24:27Jason Stewart:course but that's different that's that's the thing i would never do no i used to smoke weed

24:31Chris Black:in my car every day i know i know i roll a blunt get in the car light it drive roll it light it drink speaking car start drink but i i but that smell dissipates more yeah weed smell

24:44Jason Stewart:does dissipate unless you're like Wiz Khalifa in Romania level chief and then it's just baked into the upholstery.

24:50Chris Black:I was going to tell you this actually. When I went to when I was in Tokyo I went to the Park Hyatt and they'd redone the restaurant. The New York Grill so it's like the 52nd floor or something. I was with my friend Josh and he was like oh there's a smoking room if you want. I'm like okay. So we go to the bathroom. He opens the door to the smoking room and I'd seen these all over Japan but I hadn't been in one and it's just like a dark paneled wood room that has a space for eight people and they have an insane filtration system you walk out you don't even smell like a cigarette it was fucking insane really it was insane and i like felt crazy because i was like so fucked up and they got dyson technology and honestly it was really and they have them all over japan but this one was like sexy because it was in like a nice hotel i was like wow if it was like this i think a lot more people would be smoking

25:40Jason Stewart:yeah makes makes smoking sexy in japanese yet again you know and and uh r &b rapper david with a four for an a in the word david he also had a smoking room inside of his house so it was more of a tabletop barbecue yeah the bocce grill the bro free david he didn't do it so the so they just allegedly his home in the Hollywood Hills. You as a chef should know.

26:11Chris Black:If David wants to go Francis Molman mode and get a pig out there.

26:15Jason Stewart:This is the first time. I've lived in LA my whole life. I've spent a lot of time in the hills. I have never been. You know, from Brandon Creed's home in the palatial estates to Zac Efron. I've been to some fucked up Hollywood people's houses. I have never seen one person's burn cage burn cage I think you're I just think you're not hanging out with like foodies really whatever you also have been in the biz and maybe the burn cage seems like something of your because when I know two things like if I walk around old neighborhoods in LA some people's backyards will have incinerators from like you know the like the homes that are built in like 30s 40s whatever 100 year old homes when they used to like literally burn trash or you go visit you know tuscany or you know spain or some more remote european cities you'll be driving through the hills and be like oh there's a oh there's a trash fire there because

27:16Chris Black:they burn their trash maybe we're gonna do a a new movie the burn cage starring nathan lane and it's gonna be it's gonna be about like the bird cage but yeah but it's gonna be about the David's story and the drama surrounding the murder that he didn't commit I think this is a good idea

27:33Jason Stewart:okay I was thinking more like Nicolas Cage face off like burn cage but you're thinking make it gay Nathan Lane how long gone alum Nathan Lane it's it's he he just it's a fixer upper yeah him and his life partner yeah bought a really cute the bones are good but honey it needs work no curb appeal but we'll get there the master bath is gone this is gone the island is no the

27:58Chris Black:the burn cage maybe that will maybe the whole thing is the burn cage is becomes the centerpiece

28:04Jason Stewart:of the house and the remodel who needs a conversation pit when you've got a burn cage

28:08Chris Black:so explain to me because i did see this but can you explain to me what a burn cage would be used

28:14Jason Stewart:for if it wasn't for a human body so i know all i know is the burn cage it it is capable okay this is what I know which is not good it has the word cage in it which is a room that is meant to keep someone trapped or thing

28:33Chris Black:or thing

28:35Jason Stewart:keep somebody trapped and then the other information I know it's able to reach a temperature of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit which is the

28:45Chris Black:that's just like my Maddie Matheson Gosney what do you mean bro that's the same shit bring the buffalo mozzarella over

28:51Jason Stewart:we'll get this thing going look if you put can you give me some dough if you put an Anna if you put a living thing in the Gosney at let's say we'll make it out on a good no yeah on a good day your pipes are clean your propane's pumping you got no wind we're we're gonna touch 900 degrees but realistically it'll be more like seven you're saying we're doubling that over at David's crib David is doubling Those BTUs In the Fahrenheit So he's like I don't want to get I don't want the pizza dough to leopard I want the bones to Turn to dust

29:31Chris Black:What is it okay What Did he build this thing himself or is this something you can cop I don't know Now if this is a Frankenstein construction From like trips to Home Depot and Lowe's He's a murderer If this is something you can buy at William & Sonoma

29:47Jason Stewart:or what i think it is is the home already had the burn cage in it before he moved in because like

29:53Chris Black:oh then once again free the guys if the burn cage was there the real estate agent didn't even tell me what the burn cage did i thought it was a hot tub what the fuck am i supposed to do i've just been keeping my shoes in there oh shit he oh no those are my travis scott's babe i asked for no

30:10Jason Stewart:no go back i need the fragment ones it does beg i'm gonna i gotta ask the internet because it does beg the question what is name name one good reason for the burn what is the use of a quote burn cage end quote in a home okay we're we're looking it up we're pumping it up um

30:35Jason Stewart:all i'm getting is a cage that you put over your radiator or the or the little like cage that goes around your fireplace they're thinking we're trying to prevent burn we're trying to make burn i'm not preventing no salt no salt yeah this is how to protect children pets and vulnerable adults

30:55Chris Black:from once again though once again if david why is david not in cuffs that is the question that's

31:02Jason Stewart:something i there must be something well i mean they're the one one question is he was dating a

31:09Chris Black:13 year old oh he's a criminal i'm just saying i don't know if he's a murderer that's well i mean but then you're saying they could already have him for that that seems like a cuffable offense

31:18Jason Stewart:the witness ain't is no longer with us and then the other question if you have a burn cage why are you letting the body decompose in a model three in a tow yard why why only he was protesting

31:31Chris Black:the elon stuff he wanted to he kind of wanted to smear i bought this burn cage before elon went crazy yeah i think he put a sticker on his burn cage and said i bought this before elon why poach

31:42Jason Stewart:why sous vide when we can i look i don't know when we can bros i don't know about the burn cage i don't know nothing about this i'm just saying it there's got to be a reason this guy interested the burn the i mean the burn cage that's what they're going to do with all of olivia newsy's

31:57Chris Black:books in a few weeks i mean what else would it be i think it could be a leftover depending on how

32:03Jason Stewart:old the house is i think you're right mm-hmm okay um okay let's see here oh i was thinking earlier oh i i went to um that puck dinner got to hang out with my man yen jens the ceo of skims great guy spell the j yeah j-e lands with the j he said he enjoys the podcasting of andrew schultz but he also has floor seats at the lakers so i'm kind of torn like i want to kick it with him and build at crypto but i feel like my my brand of humor and i've never heard it's cool because i've

32:40Chris Black:never heard anyone say they like andrew schultz that's not i'm not joking especially a swedish but I think that's why I think there's a little bit of a disconnect yeah I guess so that's really interesting actually because I've truly never heard anyone in real life say that I know I was like

32:55Jason Stewart:oh you listen to pods he's like yeah yeah listen to pods his wife does like a like an entrepreneurial like probably zooms with Mark Cuban and talks about

33:03Chris Black:yeah you know she's on dear media

33:04Jason Stewart:top five dope ass ways to be productive

33:06Chris Black:so he likes Andrew Schultz he likes brilliant it is or he's like a flagrant two guy

33:10Jason Stewart:I just asked him like what what are some pods you like and he the only words that he said was Andrew Schultz. And I said,

33:19Chris Black:kept it pushing. Well, I will say Andrew Schultz is a better podcaster than he is comedian.

33:23Jason Stewart:Almost every comedian is. All right.

38:10Jason Stewart:i mean they're just they're two different forms and people are really starting to enjoy just the conversational version of yeah that's true stavi or even robbie hoffman or what you know we we like to hear these people just talk in a natural convo versus go up on stage and go

38:31Chris Black:oh here we go yeah that's true that's true that's really funny though that he said that yes it is i wonder if he knows what that means i don't think he does but when um this has nothing

38:44Jason Stewart:to do with him or or that dinner which was really awesome and it was the first time i had a mr chow meal where i truly enjoyed it i mean i don't know what what happened this you know whatever it was

38:54Chris Black:the same since the first time i ate there till now it was free this time so that did help as well

39:00Jason Stewart:I don't know I think it's

39:02Chris Black:I guess that the I just like maybe it's because you didn't order maybe oh shit well no but did you have duck and shit

39:10Jason Stewart:yeah the duck was so dry that was the only thing that was bad it was criminally dry

39:15Chris Black:what did you have that was good

39:18Jason Stewart:the noodles the candy beef I didn't really like the noodles but like you know the green shrimps yeah the shrimp was good all that stuff there was like a did they do a special noodle performance for you guys rod or steam like some steamed fish and it was just it was good oberg was like why is the shrimp green i don't like that and i was like it's like herbs that's one of the most famous things on the

39:38Chris Black:menu i know i told her she knew it place she's been there she's been many times but you yeah she

39:43Jason Stewart:she's very familiar with the green shrimp but you know how some people are they're just like i what the shrimp is green i just can't you know i can't parse like cilantro something like that But I was thinking when you're talking to these people who are in these positions, successful CEO types, maybe at a party or maybe you just hear them on TV or whatever, and they're explaining something and they keep saying the word right to themselves. Do you know what I'm talking about?

40:14Chris Black:Well, I think they're saying it to you. But you're saying they're also reassuring themselves?

40:19Jason Stewart:They're reassuring every – like they just – it's like – it's like a subconscious tick where they would just say like and then that's why this lamp right here is right right so then like oh yeah that's gonna cost like 30 ,000 right and like so for some reason every time people use the word right to punctuate every sentence when they're explaining something high level to me I just it's a the biggest turnoff it makes me feel like they're just bullshitting well unfortunately people that aren't ceos also do that pretty often not as much in my world that's a pretty common tick yeah but there's like a way that you hear people do it where it sounds it's not condescension but it's it's in that field a little

41:07Chris Black:bit i don't know it's hard to explain but i mean i think that people like that are some of them are really good at talking and some of them should not be talking at all

41:17Jason Stewart:is the problem maybe they're saying right to themselves this whole time i think they're

41:21Chris Black:saying right i think it's like a it's like saying like it's like using the word like like i think it's just i think it's just like a i know what you mean but i think it's sort of like just like something you say we all have those i guess is what i'm saying

41:34Jason Stewart:we all have those i guess i think it's just a me thing here i go projecting up in here um i wanted to talk about we don't need to talk about barry weiss hiring people right there's

41:46Chris Black:nothing there i i there's nothing i could care less about than barry weiss working at cbs

41:54Jason Stewart:there's nothing i've never watched cbs news and you never will no i mean i think that it's like

41:58Chris Black:i think that it's one of those things where that that medium is so dead that whatever she does that might seem radical could work yeah yeah like it because it's just like well i don't know this ain't working so we might as well get some fucking sub stackers on here and mix it up Honestly, I don't know if it's going to work, but I don't think it's the craziest or the worst idea.

42:21Jason Stewart:Yeah, I'm of two minds because as much as kind of evil as she seems to me or slippery or just nasty in general, I do like that someone somewhere is shaking things up and just trying new things in the dying medium.

42:38Chris Black:I mean, she makes people so mad that it's like that could work. Do you know what I mean? That alone could work. I mean, I don't think they can ever – I mean, I don't think that terrestrial TV news is ever going to pulse. I just don't – like, I don't think there's anything in the world that could happen to make it, like, the same as it was. But, like, if that's the case, then just do whatever and see if anything works. Like, people are so mad about the Oscars going to YouTube. I'm like, what? Of course they are.

43:06Jason Stewart:Yeah.

43:06Chris Black:That one – You can't watch it anywhere else. Like, no one else does it. I have YouTube TV to watch shit like that. It costs me$80 a month. I don't watch football.

43:16Jason Stewart:yeah it'll make it a lot easier than like watching uh like a cambodian stream on twitter or whatever

43:22Chris Black:if you guys want like you can't have it both ways you can't want like want something to stay the same and it also never succeed like i just don't understand like if you want the eyeballs for advertisers to keep paying for it to keep happening it has to have eyeballs

43:35Jason Stewart:yeah i mean i guess is it a death knell you know people are saying like oh like here we go No, they should have done it 10 years ago. Yeah, probably. Like, I'm not saying they need to go.

43:45Chris Black:I'm not saying they need to have Kai Sinat host it. I'm just saying, like, you have to go where the people are. Like, I don't think it's, I don't, I don't, look, of course, I'd prefer to turn on my TV and flip through my cable box, but I know that's not the reality anymore. So what do you got to do? It's not going to change the production quality. Like, it's still going to look like the fucking Oscars. Yeah, it'll still look great. It'll still be not funny. Like, it's going to be fine.

44:06Jason Stewart:Production quality might even be better. Who knows?

44:07Chris Black:Yeah, I just don't understand. I just I'm like I don't think that's a death knell for anything really I think it's like a necessary

44:12Jason Stewart:thing so it doesn't actually die yeah I guess so I guess so yeah the um it used to be such a thing like a thing that networks would fight over so much like how you know the Super Bowl whatever

44:24Chris Black:yeah you pay a fortune for those rights that's the whole thing yeah but I still think people I just don't think anybody I don't think anybody that I think it'll get more people to watch it than it would less people, if that makes sense. There's no downside for them except The Hollywood Reporter and Variety and guys on Twitter saying it's bad. There's no actual downside.

44:44Jason Stewart:Or people that work at the networks, I guess. People that run networks. But I imagine streaming on YouTube, 10x viewership. Minimum. Minimum. Minimum.

44:56Chris Black:I mean, they may get Justin Bieber to come host from his drug den live on Twitch. Just fucking pipe that shit in.

45:02Jason Stewart:But if we have these huge shows, these anchor tentpole shows switching over to YouTube, Bari Weiss is paying people to come on CBS National News, you know,$1 ,000 a pop, 30K a pop. What's the point? Like, why wouldn't everything switch to YouTube?

45:22Chris Black:Well, I mean, you got to hold on to hope. I mean, you know, there's a lot of jobs. I mean, I think, again, I think it's like, it's fine. Like, it's fine. it's just like if if you it's a lot of work to switch to i think you know what i mean i think this is not the easiest thing to do i'm sure they've been playing this for a while but yeah

45:41Jason Stewart:i don't know i mean great question i don't fucking know only time she will tell um what was it oh yeah i know and also the new york times cooking they um there's like a story i just read there's a woman on there named Sola.

45:59Chris Black:Oh, I know her. I read this shit.

46:02Jason Stewart:She was on Bon Appetit and then she left for the Times. But they were going to pay her$300 to produce 60 videos. Who was? The New York Times Cooking Asked Chef and Cookbook author Sola. Let me say something. To produce 60 social videos for$300.

46:21Chris Black:Let me remind people once again. Let me remind people once again because it seems that people get mad about this every day if you don't want to do something you say no it's like what the fuck like if that's the budget they got and you don't want to do it and you feel like it's disrespectful say no fuck you that's it it doesn't need to be you don't need to go online and say that you were done wrong they offered you money this happens to us all the time people come to us they offer us money if it's not enough and they don't want to come up you just don't do it you move on to the next thing

46:50Jason Stewart:it's not this isn't a personal affront to you i don't think it's a personal affront even though some people are going to take it as one, but I think it's in line with what we've been talking about where you think, I'm going to work up and one day my dream is to get on Bon Appetit or get on New York Times Cooking or whatever because those are the only ways where if I'm the type of person who doesn't want to go freelance. By the way, anybody who's ever talked about New York

47:18Chris Black:Times Cooking mentions how well they pay. So I'm just going to put that out there.

47:22Jason Stewart:yeah i mean literally maybe andy b getting a little bit bigger check literally i've heard no i've heard that from other people too like literally yeah i i have as well but that almost that that figure seems that feels almost like a lie less than five dollars per video makes sense

47:37Chris Black:i also just i just think that it's like people want sympathy so bad it's like you what what for what you're successful like what do you do what are you doing who are you trying to get sympathy like what who is that for like are you trying to call out the industry they're gonna be like yeah that's all the money we had sorry the fuck do you want me to do yeah i guess it's one of those

47:57Jason Stewart:things where you should just say like wow that's an insane thing it's not personal i'm not offended and i'm gonna use that to light a fire under my ass to go you know take some cookbook advance money and whatever fill my own shit and i just don't split it with nobody that whole style of

48:17Chris Black:doing things feel so antiquated and like loser-ish to just to be like i'm gonna air them out and it's like you think the new york times is going to be affected by you airing them out you think anybody that's going to look for a carbonara recipe gives a fuck that they weren't going to pay you enough they don't give a no one cares and the people that you care are your friends and your fans so so you're not there's no win here for you or or people that are flabbergasted i've seen her on tv That's how I know her. She was on TV.

48:46Jason Stewart:I mean, she's a known entity. But also the people who are flabbergasted after working at a failing magazine for eight years and then suddenly, you know, they lay people off. And it's like, wow, that magazine, I didn't even know that was still around.

49:06Chris Black:It's all bad. Don't get me wrong. I would much prefer them offering her$10 ,000 a video. That would be great. but you can't be you can't do I don't know I just the public airing of shit like that just feels loser behavior to me I don't know what you're trying to like you get sympathy for fucking 12 hours on Instagram from people you don't know

49:26Jason Stewart:well there's a large group of people out there who really like sympathy porn you know of course Justice King sympathy porn

49:33Chris Black:well look if that's the case I want all the fucking the Brooklyn liberals that love her to fucking unsubscribe to the New York if you really want to put your foot down let's unsubscribe to the new york times and protest if you're really serious

49:45Jason Stewart:absolutely but let's get serious yeah you can watch carmonica on tiktok it's all there baby

49:52Chris Black:i just don't i just don't i don't know man i'm just like okay well don't do it it's a very

49:57Jason Stewart:simple equation okay what do you think about george clooney and um callum turner both saying in the last week or so that they're no longer interested in kissing other women on camera in in the same vein of making a public announcement about something that you don't need to make a public announcement about let me tell you something guys the only good part about being an actor

50:25Chris Black:besides the money is that you get to do that and if you're cluny you've been doing that for 40 years maybe you're tired of it but now you're old now they might give you an age gap movie all of a

50:36Jason Stewart:sudden i don't know if that's to me i i i disagree with you dude it's also just part of the job i

50:43Chris Black:mean i'm joking but it's also like if the movie calls for it like you do it what it is it is an odd also duolipa is not going to get felt up by one of her gay backup dancers i bet she's not stopping that you think amal clooney's not going to let the fucking you know the guy presenting her with a humanitarian award double kiss her on the cheek do you think do you think callum goes

51:03Jason Stewart:down the line for all the backup dancers and tries to sniff out a uh a hetero look callum i look bro

51:09Chris Black:i get it you're you're trying to keep this shit locked down i i get it you're saying babe no no

51:14Jason Stewart:i'm not i ain't messing around well i i don't i don't think that callum or george clooney are worried that their wives are going to well amal clooney ain't leaving because she ain't nobody

51:26Chris Black:but Dua Lipa could be out of here.

51:30Jason Stewart:Yeah, well, I guess I'm saying, I mean, I don't know what I'm saying, but it seems, I mean, number one, that seems like something that you can just tell your agent and it doesn't have to be a public announcement.

51:42Chris Black:Oh, Jason, though, you know everything has to be public because you want to look like you're a friend. They're trying to make that shit like they're a friend to women. It's like, bro, the movie's about you being married. If it calls for it, it calls for it. That's just part of the job.

51:52Jason Stewart:Making the announcement is hoe-scaring behavior to me, though. It's like oh you brought up a thing That like nobody was thinking about Out of nowhere And now it's making me examine this whole thing With a more keen eye I just think that if you're going to take the job of actor

52:09Chris Black:You're going to have to do things that are pretend And that's the whole thing So if you get to kill a gremlin That's fake If you get to kiss a baddie That's also fake

52:20Jason Stewart:Sometimes you have to take your shirt off When you aren't happy with your body

52:24Chris Black:sometimes i just you get paid these motherfuckers get paid way too much money to be complaining about shit like that like that's the least of your worries bro and i and for cluny it makes

52:35Jason Stewart:sense as he's on you know the the tail end of his career perhaps you don't do that to j kelly bro oh yeah i forgot about that movie i'll do that to jake did a single person watch that

52:46Chris Black:i think a lot of people watched it because it was cluny on netflix it was like easy to watch i heard it was a schnoozer but you know what are you gonna do well what movie is it jason i'll Check it out. Atropia with a beautiful score.

52:59Jason Stewart:Marty Supreme. Who knows? Maybe Marty. And I was watching a clip of Timmy playing beer pong with Jimmy Fallon. And it was making me think that we're almost living in a post-talk world. where it's like physical things that we do are like more important than us talking about, you know, whatever it is that we're promoting on a talk show.

53:33Chris Black:Well, if he talks now, he's just talking about how great he is. So it's probably better if he plays ping pong.

53:37Jason Stewart:I mean, I will say - It's like Double Dare on Nickelodeon. Yeah.

53:40Chris Black:Physical challenges only. The Drewski thing, unfortunately, has brought me back. Yeah. There was a video of him singing like a traditional black church song. And Drewski was literally like, wait, how the fuck do you – like he was truly – you could tell he was like, actually, he's like, how the fuck do you know this? He's a musical genius. This guy's too good. The Drewski – him like trying to keep a straight face, it's just too funny. But I'm giving that to – that's Drewski. That's the God. Timmy just got to plug into his world.

54:09Jason Stewart:For the moment, Drewski can do no wrong, of course. but just the maybe it is because when you talk to these people they're just saying some wild bullshit or they are only in the mind of like i'm here for clips so we are just going to play

54:25Chris Black:but those guys him like having people audition for to be on drewski's fake record label is it's a great premise but that's yeah that's almost funnier than anything he could possibly do or anyone could possibly do if they're cool like there's no podcast there's no late night there's nothing that's that going to be that funny because it's just set up to be that funny and you kind of and Drew skill put you in some positions where you might say something fucked up and that's why it's funny watch them squirm yeah it's funny and you can self-produce it we don't

54:59Jason Stewart:need the New York Times we don't need any money behind it cost 20 grand rent out of room New York

55:04Chris Black:Times cooking though I feel like they're they're doing their little celebrity they're having people come cook now as part of their promo yeah that's what i want to see like selena gomez on netflix during covid imagine seeing callum turner's fine ass trying to make a salad i'm good bro

55:18Jason Stewart:i'm good go kiss some chicks on camera proper beef wellington from callum turner

55:23Chris Black:um i talked to ben about his his beef wellington he made one when we remember we talked about it with him oh yeah yeah i was like damn you did it bro he's like it's a lot of work he was like it

55:33Jason Stewart:was not worth it it seems like one of those things that you make once minimum and never again that's it and the chances of it actually being satisfied what's the what's the problem is it dry yeah the problem is making sure that the the steak inside which is usually a steak that like a tenderloin or a fillet is still rare it doesn't have very much fat so you have to cook it perfectly you have to like sear it and then let it chill and then cook it in the oven wrapped in all this stuff and then you have to nail it it's like when you make a scotch egg and you want the egg to still basically make a croissant and a steak at the same damn time yeah i guess so you know we more of a pate on crude or uh you know something like a meat inside of a puff pastry and then baked off

56:23Chris Black:kind of thing but okay okay pate schold no i don't know what that is you lost me bro just french shit baby it's just french shit french shit baby so yeah tonight we are gonna have a nice little

56:39Jason Stewart:man dinner oh yeah i went i went to max and helen's yesterday christ finally we can stop talking about it how was it finally with uh with ryland our good pal um and shout out to alexis for hooking up the table.

56:53Chris Black:Is it the best waffle you've ever had?

56:54Jason Stewart:It was a very good waffle. Very good waffle.

56:57Chris Black:I'm not poo-pooing anything, but waffles and pancakes are in a pizza-like category where it's pretty good, no matter what.

57:06Jason Stewart:That's a strong point.

57:07Chris Black:That's a kind of like, the worst one is still pretty good. Tough to meet a waffle that I didn't enjoy. Yeah, I put syrup on that shit. I'm happy. But there are levels to it. I told you about the waffle I had and it was fucking good. From Blue Bottle? Yeah.

57:21Jason Stewart:i mean sorry you're in japan i won't do that voice yeah there's something i mean it's very good so why are people waiting eight hours for the waffles well is that the hit the waffles the hit i mean people just get the regular breakfast i think the tuna melt is a big thing and then the hot cocoa is also a big thing i mean i want to try that that all sounds delicious the tuna melt

57:43Chris Black:was quite good is it like sit at the counter vibe yeah it's sit at the counter vibe there's counter

57:48Jason Stewart:and there's regular seating and then there's outdoor seating as well but larchmont is just it's crazy dude it makes the grove look like an open field in utah it's crazy because i used to

57:57Chris Black:go there every day i used to go there every single day and hang out with mikey and tim and get a coffee and just sit there and i loved it i loved it it was one of those things where it's on the

58:06Jason Stewart:street it's so developed and pumping and hot that i think it all it might almost negatively affect the real estate whereas like 20 years ago you get in early in larchmont and it's like yeah this neighborhood's really pumping property value is only going to go up blah blah blah and i think it it's like too much it trend it went oh it jumped the shark and now it's like i live in an ikea parking lot yeah just all the time non-stop bumper to bumper by the and also like all the

58:35Chris Black:door dash guys are like with the flashers on in the fucking turn lane damn bro it's i mean i would

58:40Jason Stewart:be bummed if i lived a beautiful idyllic life in hollywood's larchmont area it's so nice you can

58:46Chris Black:If you walk over there, it's fine. I feel like if I live walking distance, because the parking in the car situation is what really is fucked.

58:55Jason Stewart:Yeah, if you could, the walking is nice.

58:56Chris Black:If you just walk up and get a coffee, it's pretty normal. It's good.

58:59Jason Stewart:But if you live right over there. You're still dealing with it. There's just like people who live like right by Moza. Yeah. You live in this amazing like multi-million dollar historic home. it looks so great but any given moment from morning noon and night there is just a parking lot of cars in front of your home every single day you know blocking your driveway when you get in and you get out no it's annoying i can't do it but i went to quarter sheets last night

59:27Chris Black:with morby and he told me about something that he asked morby to specifically not say okay well i can't bleep it no but but i'm saying i'm going to tell you after and it's fascinating fascinating thing that from a culinary perspective i think you need to go investigate from a culinary perspective not that morby's known for that he makes like hot dog sandwiches yeah what was his

59:49Jason Stewart:fucked up sandwich that he would make it was hot it was like bake i can't remember it was like a peanut butter banana hot dog or something it was disgusting it was disgusting but quarter sheets is

59:57Chris Black:my favorite i can't believe how good it is what was your dish of the night can't say pizza bro they they flip the beans they're they're just as good but different for preparation The seasonal bean preparation. I was like, bro, the beans were different last time. He was like, oh, yeah, we switch it up. Same bean, different prep. Can you say anything about the beans? Tell me about the beans. There was some sort of like, it was not a lot, but brothy almost. There was a breadcrumb. Yeah. And there was a green. Okay. Okay. Is all I. The salad was delicious. Beans von Galay. It was delicious. I just, I really, I really love that.

1:00:35Chris Black:No dessert, though. no we did get a princess cake morby never had it and i was like this time is here we have to i mean

1:00:41Jason Stewart:my bro you gotta have it yeah that's a good litmus test i've seen people say like the cake's not for

1:00:46Chris Black:me and like you don't get it bro also splitting that piece of cake is like three bites each really whatever you gotta tell yourself man i was just like oh this cake i feel like the only time i've had it was when we had a full cake yeah yeah so i was a little i forgot that a slice it's airy yeah Well, Kevin was like, it kind of gives ice cream cake vibe, which it sort of, I got that after he said it.

1:01:07Jason Stewart:Say what now? Let's see here. What else do we got? I think that's almost pretty much it. You know, we got to go to our din-din.

1:01:15Chris Black:It's not going to be that bad to drive over there, I don't think.

1:01:17Jason Stewart:Okay. We're close here. Yeah, we're in town. Well, Chris is in town because we're going to be recording a little end of the year podcast video, a special. y 'all so uh stay tuned for that hopefully it'll come out in the next couple of weeks around it has

1:01:35Chris Black:to come out before the first of the year that's why i said i said hopefully no it's going to

1:01:39Jason Stewart:some heads are going to roll look i i'm going to be really hands-on with the edit so i'll be in the bay the whole time so that is absolutely a lie but it's going to get done it's not a lie i have to no you don't yes no you really don't i need it to be airtight good luck like one of epstein's gloves

1:01:57Chris Black:loves that picture him and woody allen or woody allen's got the hood on you just see his eyes yeah like he knew he was getting photographed with a bad guy when he's also the bad guy it's just so it's so bad guy killed bad guy it made me it was it was very much like um when you see a kid

1:02:14Jason Stewart:who is gets put on an airplane to go home by themselves and this is like the legal guardian

1:02:19Chris Black:has to watch him cartman stone island kind of weirdly a combo i've never thought i would say They killed Kenny.

1:02:26Jason Stewart:They killed Woody. But Woody was also like, are you my new dad?

1:02:30Chris Black:It's a really funny picture. That just surfaced, right?

1:02:34Jason Stewart:Yeah, they're doing a nice slow rollout with all the pics.

1:02:38Chris Black:They're really dripping it.

1:02:39Jason Stewart:Which I'm okay with. I don't care. But they said they're supposed to really launch a big chunk tomorrow, the 19th, Friday, a.k.a. when this podcast comes out.

1:02:48Chris Black:I just don't think anything's going to come out that's going to be that shocking. That picture's funny, but it's not shocking.

1:02:54Jason Stewart:Yeah. I mean, some of the stuff is shocking.

1:02:57Chris Black:But it's all redacted, so you don't even really...

1:02:59Jason Stewart:Well, there's some photos of a bunch of girls' feet with lines from the book Lolita written on it. It's called art. Okay. Oh, we're going to start. Okay. Vincent Gallo's like, I don't see a problem here. So you hate Picasso? Okay, whatever you got to tell yourself. Okay, so there... Okay, well, grand opening, grand closing. Shut that one down. There's another photo of Epstein sitting at his desk and then on his desk where you would have photos of your family, children, your golden retriever Max or something on there. Maybe a picture of you meeting a president or Mark Cuban. He had a photo of a teenage girl passed out on a couch.

1:03:45Chris Black:Okay, that's pretty bad.

1:03:46Jason Stewart:But the thing is, like you said, it's not shocking because we all know that this is bad. But at this point, we need to see that photo. Like dead bodies. Well, I mean, there's that. But we need to see people who are alive and active in today's world in the same 35 millimeter photo frame as the glove that every single finger goes up a hole. Or photos of Bill Gates and a 13-year-old.

1:04:13Chris Black:What would happen if David met Epstein?

1:04:18Jason Stewart:Something to think about. Well, I mean, reincarnation is a thing, you know what I mean?

1:04:25Chris Black:Shout out to all our Buddhist homies.

1:04:28Jason Stewart:Epstein, the day Epstein left us was the day David risen from the ashes like the phoenix.

1:04:34Chris Black:D4 Vid.

1:04:35Jason Stewart:Have you ever listened to David's music yet? What if it was so good?

1:04:38Chris Black:I think it is. I think if you like that kind of stuff. I don't even know what kind of stuff it is It's like R &B but I think the streams are crazy I think he was like one of those low key Like very very big I've never listened to it either I think it's like I'm trying to think of Like there's a lot of that Sort of like R &B shit That's really popular with like young people That like we would never hear

1:05:04Jason Stewart:It's like on some like destroy lonely Type shit

1:05:06Chris Black:I don't even know what that is I'm talking about like it's a guy who wears like mascara and skirts yeah basically but big but big he can afford a Tesla alright how long gone thank you for listening happy holidays to you you and yours and we'll be back next week with some more podcasts

1:06:20Jason Stewart:But what I wanted to tell you, my daughter has a very good study. She has a lot of books, software, internet, so a master is really cheap. Say, she can get back. You mean from the tax? But she doesn't pay. No matter what, it's a loss of a contract. Make it simple with Viso Steuer. And when she works, it's Kaching! That's it? Safe! Viso Steuer.
