929. - Chris & Jason

24:22You got to reset the sub.

24:23Jason Stewart:You got to reset the sub for when I put on my Italian jazz cooking playlist for our dinner parties or whatever. I got to recalibrate the whole fucking thing. Super annoying, but whatever. The curtain's there. Yeah, we're 15 years into Sonos and they still haven't figured out how to make it work. That's big. Sonos, one of the greatest companies with the worst interfaces to ever. It's an unbelievable marvel how well they've been able to do with that interface. and I'm honestly impressed by it at a certain point. It's a monopoly. It is, it is. All it takes is one person. I mean, I guess Apple's trying to do it forever.

24:57Actually, I don't have any Sonos in my house right now, now that I think about it. I got too much. That's actually kind of crazy. I feel like I used to, but I got these speakers. That brand AdSum collaborated with this brand Elac that's like real shit.

25:09Jason Stewart:Oh, I know, I know. I was trying to steal those from you last year. Oh, well, they just did a portable one too that's really great. So now I'm kind of, I got the home, I use it occasionally. It's more of an Alex thing. I listen to music on my computer like a normal person. I don't care. Some people are fine with Taco Bell, you know? You. Yeah, I know. No? Yeah. Yeah. You're okay. I hate Taco Bell. I wanted to talk to you about food, actually, because I went to a – Ed Cummins was in town, and he's writing a few different stories, but he was doing like a New York Power Lunch story for – I don't remember.

25:46Anyway, whatever. He's doing a New York Power Lunch thing. And he was like, let's get lunch. Where should we go? And I'm like, well, these are the only places that I really think are popping like that. You know, I was the Odeon, Balthazar, and Michael's. I was like, those are the only places that are really popping like that. But like, maybe there's stuff I don't know about. And then he sent me some Greek place I'd never heard of his friend suggested. And I was like, yeah, sure. I'm sure this is like popping. I just don't know about it because it's not my whatever, not my industry. New York's a big town.

26:11And then the major food group hit him with a, he'd never been to the grill. And I was like, oh, we got to go to the grill. It's like actually, you know, it's in the Four Seasons. That's the OG Power Lunchbot. So we went there yesterday for lunch. And I'd never been there for lunch. I've only been there for dinner. And I always found it a little fussy. And the lunch was, I've never seen a room filled with people that look so much alike in my entire life. It was almost like they were, it was like every guy had a white shirt and a blazer on. It was extremely uniform in a way that I kind of liked.

26:43but my point what i'm getting at is the the lunch specials there was a roast beef sandwich that looked like i'd never wanted to eat meat more in my life it looked it looked it looked unbelievable it was just stacked high it looked you know it looked like it's gourmet arby's of course but still it looks it looked good and i think it was a reasonable price but there was an omelet there the omelet du jour was on the menu sure and i went for it and it was mushrooms in play there was a There was a seasonal mushroom. There was, of course, asparagus. And there was parmesan. And it was very flat. It was just flat on the plate.

27:18It was more -

27:18Jason Stewart:Not flavor-wise. You mean architecturally speaking? Architecturally speaking, it wasn't folded like an omelet would be traditionally in my mind. It was more of a, it looked more like a frittata, but thin. You know what I mean? It looked more, and it was unreal. Absolutely worth$50. $50 for the omelet? I think it was$50. Luckily, I didn't have to pay. but it was I think it was like a$48 omelet and it was fucking banging it was so good love it and there was a there was a chopped salad that was delicious it was just a very very very good lunch and I was very happy that it worked out and Ed loved it and he'd never been there so it was a real win for everybody what a good British name for an article a very good lunch and you know Ed had to have a glass of white or two you know what I'm saying you know how those guys operate yeah I mean the white when to pair with the selection of continental hams that he likely ordered or the season's bounty of crites he had a chicken he had a chicken but there was a there's literally a table of 12 guys that looked like they were you know cut from the same piece of paper and you know what i could before ed got there i was listening to him and it was one guy talking about how he's super into boating and this year they took it from montauk to florida and they're spending more time there and he must have he must have been the boss because everyone was just shut up and listening to him in a way that I was like, dude, this guy's boring the fuck out of me.

28:35I can't imagine what you have to deal with if you have to listen to him like this. It was so funny. It was so funny. But that omelet really dissonant for me. I just pulled it up.

28:43Jason Stewart:Omelet du jour,$29. Oh, okay. That's not that. I thought it was more. That was Balti's art price. The veal schnitzel, on the other hand, is a nice$80. Black truffle ravioli,$32. That's cheap. That is cheap. I'm sure the portion size is altered. But yeah, go ahead. Can I ask a question, though, about the form factor? like what is the i just always thought an omelet i mean i know there's different styles i know you've been working on your japanese omelet you know the fluffy one i i understand that but i just what is the what is this style of sort of just flat like what is that is there a name for that or is that just like is that something normal i think it's what it's like white woman omelets maybe i i just i i just it looks i i will say it kind of looks more appealing to me right right I mean, I guess the way they're doing it, if it's more fluffy, then that means it's like more egg product and maybe a smaller pan.

29:33Jason Stewart:So it has a little more volume. Oh, I see. And then the flatter ones, larger pan or less egg or a combination of the two. So just kind of like, you know, you're building a giant one story building instead of a tiny skyscraper. It's an aesthetic decision though, doesn't it? It affects the mouthfeel greatly as well. That's true. I just preferred it so much I'd never thought about it before. I don't know. I just never. I don't know. You think of it as like a fat tomahawk steak or like thin like carne asada flat meat. It's both beef. Both taste good, but they got different chews in the mouth. Yes, of course.

30:11Mouth feel is, I know it's very important.

30:13Jason Stewart:Yeah. And speaking of chews in the mouth, Mr. Chow in Tribeca closing down, huh? I told you. I mean, look, I know that the business ain't blowing the doors off over there by any means, But it's been open for a long time. And Alex and I go there. We probably go there, whatever, that location, I don't know, five or six times a year, probably. Maybe more, depending. So you were the five. Yeah. No, but that's what I'm trying to say. It's like if you go there on a weeknight at 8 o 'clock, it's pretty busy. It's not like a dead, you know, it's not like it's fucking lying out the door or some new cool guy shit.

30:46It's not another British pub opening in America. But it's like, it's busy enough, I would assume. I mean, obviously, it's probably just a rent situation. I would imagine that's what it always is. Yeah.

30:56Jason Stewart:Usually a rent situation, someone's going to buy the building and turn it into a live work space. Because that corner, I mean, it's a prime Tribeca corner. You know what I mean? Like something could really pump there. I'm going to turn that into my cold plunge. Yeah. It's very much. Cold plunge residential community. It's very much we're going to. But it's in a, I don't know. I was just surprised. I mean, obviously like a restaurant closing is not surprising in any way. But I was going to add, There's a new pub here from the, whatchamacallit people, King people, the restaurant for women called Dean's that's really popping.

31:31Is it a pub for women? I'm unclear. I've heard it's very good from everyone that's been there. I have not been there yet. What's the place in LA that you keep talking about that you like? Wilds. Wilds, yeah. But I was talking to Ed about this yesterday because I had an expert. and he was like it's funny because he's like if you talk to my parents generation and you told them you're going to eat in a pub they'd be like you're disgusting what do they have there like what are you talking about he's like so it's sort of like we've sort of taken like american bar food and like it's now become a thing and so we've added like fish and chips to a burger and wings and it's sort of like british pub food now yeah which was i i which i thought was pretty

32:09Jason Stewart:interesting i just like i like it it's sort of like fat to me in in london or in england the pub culture is like a fast casual drinking like i'm gonna drink i want to be able to eat a little food if i want get up order it at the at the bar yeah bring it to my you know it's casual that it's not have you dined with us before you can go i think it's getting less casual but yeah it is you know bring your computer have a meeting whatever hang out so it's a little more like open-ended of a meal but it's nice you know people just like the open-endedness of bars in america where the only thing to eat would be like a pickled egg or some you know community popcorn and now it's like oh do you want an anchovy stuffed olive slider that's what i'm saying i used to it used to it used to be like for us to get a liquor license we have to sell like hot dogs you know what i mean and that that used to be but i but i was thinking about this because I used to, like, during my early 20s, like, your friends weren't, we would eat, I mean, the best veggie burger, one of my favorite veggie burgers in the world is at a bar in Atlanta called The Righteous Room that I still go to.

33:13Or, like, we would eat a falafel at the local, we would eat at bars really often. And it was sort of like, but you're right, it was because it was just casual. That was the whole thing. It was like.

33:22Jason Stewart:Casual, and usually the food is cheaper as a means of making you order more alcohol so the profit margins are good. Yeah, true. So get you a little$3 grilled cheese sandwich, slider, nacho combo, and then, you know, that's seven more Jack and Cokes. Yeah, but now it's like a pigeon, you know, roasted pigeon with a side of broccoli steaks. Now it's an ordelon for seven. I mean, I do think it seems... Reservations for 2028 are filling up fast. We still... Of the old arms. We did move over to Open Table. They offered us$250 ,000, so we are taking reservations for 2029 now. so it's great doing business with you guys yeah I was just pubs are charming and I think that's really what it comes down to and so now the kind of cuisine is almost not the point, it's about being inside of there and a pub even though it is casual we don't need to bring the dog in there do we dude if I see, I mean I sent you guys this because this is I feel like this story has been written 10 times in the last 5 years but Curbed wrote but where does a dog belong in restaurants and grocery stores?

34:29Tension between canine lovers and other New Yorkers are boiling over. And I don't, you know, I don't mean to boast, but I've been on the front lines of this battle since I can remember as a, as a animal hater. We've discussed this often. I mean, you know, seeing a cute dog on an Instagram video is one thing you can't smell it. There's no hair. It doesn't slobber. It doesn't bite.

34:49Jason Stewart:But I think he's eating that hot dog at the Mets game. And that's okay with me. Exactly. What if you're sitting next to it and shitting and pissing? or on my peanut shows. In LA, it's disgusting, but at least people have houses and yards and cars, so it's a little bit less in your face in some ways. Don't put this on LA. It's everywhere. It is everywhere, but LA is the most... Everywhere. LA is the most dogs I've ever seen in my life on a daily basis. Well, thank you. By far. Ooh, number one again. But New York is getting... I think it's getting to the point now where it's so contentious that finally people will say something, and I think I'm about to move into that category.

35:28Jason Stewart:Okay. Have you rehearsed in the bathroom mirror what goes down if somebody steps to you? I mean, if you step to me because you need to have your dog inside of a restaurant that bad, then you deserve to get duffed. That's the thing. I don't think that like... Is it a shame or is it a duff? I mean, I don't think that people... I don't think pet owners have shame. That's the problem. I think pet owners... Oh, okay. pet owners think that their pet is a human and that it doesn't matter what it does or make how it makes anyone feel as long as they get to bring their little friend with them everywhere they go so your stance on this matter is akin to the if you see a nazi punch a nazi kind of thing you know there's no negotiation there's no talking only violence i'm not gonna say that i'm gonna say that i'm gonna say that i think that it comes down to everything else it's like when someone's listening to fucking music with no headphones on and no one's going to say anything because they don't want to get in a fight or have this it's like we have to we kind of have to start saying something because where else is it going to go from here yeah like how how far does it how far does it go before it's just like they're they're dogs you know everywhere there's a dog at the gym and some guys listen to his jbl speaker next to you on a plane like i don't know how like i don't know where the line is that's the issue i think we're having is that the everybody's like weirdly we're living through the rudest shittiest moment in the history of time but also people are afraid to say when something bothers them when it's clearly a public nuisance an allegory for many issues in the world today on the in the dog issue i believe that obviously human beings do need their public service animal situation if you are disabled and this animal helps you get around in the world we're not talking about that at all it's the people that abuse the laws and well the the the service the service animal is obviously a scam like it's a game that you if you pay enough for it they'll give you the pass and you can do whatever you want well here's my here's my theory here's my idea because you can see you know either one you can see the person has a clearly yeah of course visible you know they're blind they're handicapped whatever they need this dog to get around in the world and the dog looks like a a dog that is currently on the clock not a dog that is leaning against the wall looking at his phone this dog is alert this dog is saving this person's life this dog is you know this dog knows cpr this dog has a higher iq than me this dog has the vest on that says do not pet me i'm working i'm on the clock you know it's a it's a uniformed uh employee that is currently on the clock if you look like that and you bring your dog around no one's gonna have a problem so definitely not if you're the type of person that abuses the system like oh i have i have insomnia so that's why my great dane has to come you know inside come on the airplane with me or whatever i think it's okay to do that but you can't just be some dumb guy on his phone in his aloe sweats you know acting like he can just do whatever he wants to do because he got this little paperwork and paid 70 bucks and now he has the right to bring in this service animal it's the same people who abuse the the handicap parking stickers or whatever yeah like i got my granddad's handicap sticker for my porsche yeah so you know it's the montana platesification of of the system so if you want to bring your dog on the plane your dog has to wear the fucking full kit it has to wear you have to you can't have the regular leash you have to have the blind motherfucker leash gotta have patches on it gotta have you know all kinds of stuff i need to see the stripes and the ranking of this dog and if you are not blind you got to act blind the whole flight you got to act disabled you have to look like you need this i think we should yeah you don't get to come you know you gotta go stevie mode or you don't get to bring your three huskies into balthazar unless you know the whole meal you look like you are in need of this assistance you gotta have two broken otherwise we kick you out you gotta have two broken legs of the chow chows in meadow lane that's it that's it for me otherwise um keith mcnally's hot 22 year old son's coming over the bar and said man i'm sorry i gotta get three huskies out i just i love that this debate is still raging on because you know i famously said that that if we're going to say all cops are bastards then that also means the dogs that work for them and i think that that i still stand by that i of any but i did unfortunately see a video on instagram of a dog canine a dog giving full cpr to someone jumping on their chest and unfortunately it was very cute it was very impressive and i was i was impressed with that particular dog and his skills and he did save a human.

40:18There's value to dogs. I know that they're cute. I know that they give people like warm, fuzzy feelings or whatever, because they're empty, but I don't think we need to see them everywhere we go. And I'm surprised this debate is still raging on this. This post has 200 comments already. Stitch Fix. Shopping is hard. Let's talk about it.

41:07Jason Stewart:Yeah. I haven't read it all the way yet. I tried to listen to it but then I got an ad blocker on my speechify. Have you been following the Masters, the most prestigious golf tournament in the world that takes place in Augusta, Georgia? Hell no. Dude, it's... So, you know, the Masters is of fame. Obviously, it's this historic thing. It has a lot of decorum. It's very serious. It's very buttoned up. And this year... No blacks allowed, et cetera, et cetera. Well, not anymore. They've made an improvement on that, but probably in the last 20 years, which doesn't really bode well for them. but the you know people are it's obviously there's a pimento cheese sandwich that's famous you know malvin golf is releasing the ugliest clothes you've ever seen in your life and people are saying it's good but there was this thing with es espn brought pat mcafee jason kelsey burt kreischer and kevin hart um and people are just like you know they're basically this has gone too far fuck this not the masters like everything cannot be a bozo convention of influencers and comedians and content creators like we got to cut this shit out keep that shit at waste management exactly so i'm gonna see if yeah because i know david coggins and michael williams are boots on the ground so i'm trying to see if they can sort of do some yeah guys you got you guys got to shoot a new photo for your masters you post it every year it's a great pick you guys look amazing by the tree but we got to re-up it you know we got well i just want to i want i want coggins and michael kind of go up there and they're barbers and dump some coors light on these bozos heads see what happens you know what i mean because what what happened like burt kreish a cab applies to burt kreish as well the b in a cab that's for burt no but i i just i thought it was so funny that this a golf tournament a sport that is i would not always but often played by people who i would say aren't the most spit it out like they don't it doesn't seem like a sport that is is now played by people who care about shit like this like the obviously the history of it is very, like tennis, it's sort of buttoned up and serious and country club and blah, blah, blah.

43:09But for these guys online that are like, I don't know, man, they're just really standing up for what's right, and I'm shocked to see it in this forum.

43:18Jason Stewart:Well, I mean, I guess I would be, because if you have this sport, golf, and you're in your own little corner and your own little world and you like it that way, and you have your own stars and personalities, and then one year, I was reading a tweet, friend of the show, Andrews, he reposted someone, Grant Hughes, the YouTube barstoolification of the Masters is so cringy. And there's some photo, you know, so basically we have all these amazing stars and champions and winners and then, you know, NBC or whoever is like, nah, Jason Kelsey instead. He's going to put on the funny golf clothes and walk around with his beer belly with Burt Kreischer and that's going to get more ratings.

44:00Jason Stewart:So I would be fun. Kevin Hart dressing up like... Can we have one thing, guys? Like Kevin Hart dressing up like a caddy is just like, I don't know if we need that. I just don't know if we need that. Even though the suit is a child size and that probably made it easier. I just don't know if this is the kind of content. Maybe it's doing numbers. But the thing about it is the Masters, it historically makes like an unbelievable amount of money on merchandise and blah, blah, blah. But now you're seeing the merchandise as even being bastardized. and it's like it's just sort of everything's going down the toilet looking at one there's a there's a hat that says master's tournament but it just kind of looks like a you know sporty and rich logo there's a one that says pimento azalea now driving the amen corner so you can get these like you know ironic dad hats with master's slogans like wearing a wearing a pimento cheese master's hat like bro go on ebay and find one from 98 i mean i would be bummed if i was a huge golf head for years and my dad's daddy went to the masters and blah blah blah and then you just see it get fucked out by i really want to go i really want to go i don't know why i really what else is sacred nowadays i just think that the i just also augusta is such a dump like it's like there's also this whole thing going on i guess where people make people can rent their houses for like a hundred thousand dollars for the week because there's no hotel infrastructure in augusta because it's a dump.

45:23You know, it's like, it's not a city anybody wants to go to.

45:25Jason Stewart:Just like Coachella this weekend. Yeah, I mean, it is kind of, except everybody's a little fatter. My villa fell through, you guys. Yeah, there's a whole Coachella thing right now where all the people that bought, like secured their Airbnb rentals like a year in advance when the lineup first came out, they all got their shit canceled. Like a week ago, all got their shit canceled and everyone started listing the houses for like 10 times more money than they were a year ago. I'm fucking everyone over. Do you think Airbnb is involved in this? Not to get into your third eye. Ooh. I didn't even consider that, Chris.

45:59Very nice. While we've been recording, I got an email alert that I thought was something you would care about. Global icon and longtime anime fan, The Weeknd, is presenting at the 10th annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Yes.

46:13Jason Stewart:I heard rumors about this. Okay. I know you've been tracking this on your Reddit threads and stuff, but yes, The Weeknd is presenting. What is Crunchyroll? I keep seeing this a lot. I think it's a streaming service for anime. Oh, my God. Okay. I thought for some reason it was a gi for MMA, but I guess that's shoyo roll. That is shoyo roll. No offense to my sober brothers. Never. Okay. So I didn't know. It's crazy to me that the weekend, that's a big get for the anime awards. He's a giant superstar. It's a very big get. And it's a good reminder that your favorite guy or girl, you know, person who invented sex and he's the sexiest, horniest, coolest guy of all time.

47:02Jason Stewart:Yeah, where's Glass Table Girls now? Is streaming Demon Slayer Season 7 and watching fucking. There's nothing on earth that could ever make anime acceptable for a grown man. I don't care how much you're jerking off. I don't care if you make it for a living. I just don't know how. I want the weekend. Like that's, that's some shameless. I don't give a fuck. I love this shit so much. Where do you guys want me to be? I'll pay for my own PJ. Reminds me of when, um, when bad bunny hosted the, the, the porn hub awards many years ago. I felt like there might be a little upside for him. He did it. Well, that's what I'm saying.

47:36Jason Stewart:He loves the game so much. He was just happy to be there. I see. He just, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Sure. Whatever paltry sum they would offer him wouldn't, would be, you know, would not matter whatsoever. Yeah. There's nothing. Yeah. It's a classic. There's no amount you could pay me. I have to want this. Bad Bunny, we got $3 ,500 set aside for you if you want to confirm today. He wasn't big then, but he was bigger than$3 ,500. I think that we can definitely do. He's like, oh, does that include the fitting day too? I usually get$400 for that. I get paid for my flight days, my travel days, so this isn't really working for me.

48:11Jason Stewart:I remember that recently because I had an old tweet that said, are you a bad enough bunny to host the Pornhub Awards? wow good okay jason not bad not bad oh you like that i love some of your old tweets every time you always bring up the taco stuff you know and i'm always like that's so funny and then i like twitter 1.0 posting yeah and i always am like i need other examples and this is a great this is not that long ago but it's long enough ago to add it to to the rafters of them jeans tweets yeah you know probably eight years ago something like that bad bunny first first drop this a long time ago that's a long time i have some screenshots saved of of some of our great classic old tweets and none of those need to be read out loud or posted online i mean look i i know i know it's i'm just glad the medium still exists man i was talking last night i went to a a dinner gabriella is now like the she got some job with d-pop and they threw a and i was uh talking to lynette and uh amelia about how like how far are we from substack like how far are we from like a substack only fans vibe go on do you know what i mean like how far are we from like that like basically like i have a substack because i don't want to be on only fans but i'm just i'm just showing pussy and and like how how long until substack has adult content like when subset goes tumblr and there's like yeah like a four-year period where it's a gray area before they shut it down but apparently apparently there is a lot of like sex stuff but it's like more advice you know it's like call like advice columns and like product recommendations yeah i mean romance and erotica are a huge genre and i'm sure they're rising category but i was just like i wonder i want and then then this morning there's a vanity fair story can only fans save fashion the content subscription platform has been hosting iconic classic fashion designers with sex back on the runway and increasingly challenge retail landscape is OnlyFans fashion's next frontier.

50:15Jason Stewart:Like why pay for Vogue runway when I could see all the looks on OnlyFans and then hit a button and have Grok take their clothes off? I haven't read this yet, but it's a designer I've never heard about launching OnlyFans, which is a good strategy to get eyeballs. But I was just like, wow, I wonder where Substack will draw the line. If people start jumping ship, are they going to have to show titty to keep the lights on over there as beehive just beats him up well i mean beehive with the body shots we'll we'll sub stack because you have to do i'm sure there's there's rules and laws about nudity on the internet and things like that so of course we'll sub stack be able to i mean i guess three routes you either just don't participate whatsoever you do participate and have the Substack XXX tab at the top right of your login or whatever, or you have to start an independent vertical with a different name and a branding, you know what I mean?

51:14Jason Stewart:I would God. Whatever it's called. Oh, man. Wouldn't it be amazing if there was an XXX tab on Substack? You're just looking through. I'm like, oh, Brooks, that restaurant in Northern California looks amazing. Oh, wow. Oh, my goodness. That's amazing advice, Amelia. You're right. I should buy those cargo pants. Q &A with the girth master is tomorrow at 4 p.m. EST. Hold on. So, no questions for that. You're saying Jake Wolf found a new trench coat that I should buy? And wait, wait, hold on. And we got titties over here? This is crazy. This is worth it. Jake Wolf has a new trench coat. And if you do 70 a month, he'll show you what it looks like on the floor.

51:48He'll open that shit. It's a funny idea because at the core, the internet runs on this stuff. You know what I mean? now that we're in a subscription-based society, the only two things, sex and nudity are the two things that move the needle. And I think Tumblr learned that the hard way.

52:05Jason Stewart:And all of our jobs are being replaced by robots and AI. So the only human-based economy in the near future will be paying and subscribing and receiving subscription money from our friends. It's a real kind of barter system, I guess. It's going to turn into, yeah, it's going to turn into all trade. The only people make, we will all have Substack OnlyFans is. That's going to be the only thing we spend our money on and the only way we make money. The clothes are free from the brand. It's just a marketing expense. I'll trade you some corn for some milk. It's getting to that point with the content creation space.

52:41Look, my peas are really good this season, so if you have any...

52:45Jason Stewart:I've got my Chrome extension for Corn Hub. It's where I do all of my cob trading. If you have any citrus, I will be able to trade you. Let me just look at the numbers real quick just let me check the numbers yeah i've got i've got a bushel of granny smiths for anyone in the area they have to be uncut though just let you know i'm not doing no no i am not no not penetration for sumos those are not my favorite those are not my favorite i'm not gonna be able to i'm not that desperate honey come find me at the other month i'm not that desperate i'll see the farmer's market uh oh also speaking of of uh the strokes record i another damning fact about it rick rubin produced it i know which i i was just sort of surprised i don't know i was just sort of like because i because i know i know julian is on top of the net and i know he's you know he's basically a socialist libertarian kind of guy he knows that rick rubin you know has dinner with the kushners and shit like you think he would have a little more something would love to get him on the pod to chat about it oh we've tried for three years and every time it doesn't work out even even when they tell me it's gonna work out and we got a date it doesn't work out but i don't blame him i don't know if i don't know if we could do an hour with him to be honest with you i don't know i can't tell if he's verbal like i can't tell if he's i feel like he can only sing which is great chapelle show skit he's a very talented singer thank god look if we did look we've climbed mascus mountain we could do anything no of course of course i'm kidding but I just mean like I feel like he's one of those guys who's like I'm not doing anything and everybody on the team is like yes sir whatever you say that's the vibe but I mean I do think he's one of our greats and I hope that he continues to age well-ish I feel like he's doing better than we thought he would do but not quite as good as we would like him to be because you want that sweet spot of our kind of like problematic sleazy hot dirtbag guys you know the few the proud out there you got to wave the flag and keep it pumping yeah but it's it's tough when you're older it's a lot easier than when you're an older but you're a woman that's also true that's also true but you know we got the help or whatever you know what i mean give it up for my ladies out there yeah because the because unfortunately the female version of julian casablanca's is not not in terms of looks and fuckability but just kind of trajectory age and fashion you get you get a natasha leone character you know what i mean man i'm worried about her bro she i that that shit is like because she relapsed that that's like what's going on uh new york post your new york post two hours ago natasha leone escorted off her delta flight after uh dude flying back home from the euphoria premiere yeah i mean the euphoria premiere is that what a what a red carpet that was i was happy to see everything now is just a side by side of someone being like i cannot believe they look like this now and i was like you know that this show's been on for a long like some of this is probably real like some of this shit ain't you know what i mean like it's like these people like some of it is is clearly glp1's buccal fat removal and some of it is like oh this bitch was 17 when it first started and now she's 32 so like the face is gonna look different that's what i mean There's obviously...

56:02Jason Stewart:Well, I need you to weigh in on the Alexa Demi face then, Chris. I don't even know who that is. I really don't. I've never watched Euphoria. Tell me you don't fuck with Latinas. I've never watched Euphoria. I never will. No, just because I feel like you're not in on that. I've never watched it either, but I'm familiar with the word. I'm sure you are, little freak. That's what I'm saying. I look at pictures of dogs saving lives. You're looking at thick Latinas. That's the difference on our timelines, big bro. Thick no more, brother man. Thick no more. But I don't think that, I think that the buccal fat removal thing, that's like real surgery.

56:34I don't know if everybody's doing that.

56:37Jason Stewart:Okay, do you think Miley did it? Because the people that all have it, the face has a look that is sort of. But does it look bad? Across all bodies. It doesn't look bad, but it just, it looks. Olivia Wilde's getting it from every angle. Well, you know. Let her live, bro. Because her BMI is 0.3, that's why. But it is a big procedure. I'm sure and all that stuff but I think it turns somebody from a human into a painting of a human. It crosses that weird little uncanny valley where you look good but at what cost? I just don't know what people expected us, what people expected to happen after we went so far.

57:16This is how the world works. It's called whiplash. And this is what, you go the other way where you're putting

57:23Jason Stewart:It's use and it's abuse. We can all use things correctly and some of us are not able to use things correctly people look kind of crazy but it's a reaction to three years ago where every no one was allowed to look like this you know what i mean this is what happens to society just it's not it's not good either way is the problem the middle ground is what is good but we of course cannot land on that that would be impossible that would be impossible to just be like sort of healthy or whatever you have to either you have to either be 400 pounds or look like you're about to die there's no there's no acceptable the destruction of the middle class of bodies it's just crazy it's just honestly crazy like that's why when you see somebody who just looks like hot and normal especially like a little bit athletic it's like it is refreshing it is refreshing got it out the mud it is refreshing we hope we hope uh things go well for natasha even though she's a bitch yeah i don't i i want her to find safety and i hope that's what people say about me we hope it goes well for that bitch oh no they they do say it about you but they use bitch in the different form.

58:24I see. Different definition of the word. Pray for offset. Let's get these debts handled. You put $900 ,000 on Cardi's MX. You got shot by a guy that nobody even knows. You got to pray for offset. We got to get you in rehab, brother. Drugs are the problem. Drugs and alcohol are a problem, and gambling's even maybe worse.

58:46Jason Stewart:Everyone says gambling is worse because it's a silent problem that nobody knows. When somebody's fucked up on drugs or alcohol. It's pretty clear. Nah, bro. You can get in the hole. No, that wasn't me. All your kids, college phone. I never nodded out at dimes. What are you fucking talking about? That wasn't me. Nod it out at dimes. I never nodded out at dimes. Let's get the girls out in. Okay, well, I want to talk to you about outer space, Chris. Well, we're wrapping up. Well, I mean, obviously, you know, you don't care about space. I'm not really a space junkie myself, but I was talking to you and Cho earlier about how I thought, obviously the photos from the Artemis II mission are cool looking and blah, blah, blah.

59:34Jason Stewart:In the age of computer graphics and AI, maybe it's not as amazing looking because you could tell me that that is a drawing or that's a real photo and I would not be able to tell the difference. but I think the doubts of the world about space travel and us landing on the moon and the amount that we give a shit, we don't really care about it anymore outside of a small sector. What percentage of people in 2026 do you think still believe we landed on the moon 50 years ago? I think most people do. I think most people do. I mean, I think that... I mean, I looked at those pictures against my will and I of course they look cool I guess but I just liking space just doesn't like what's the point I think people believe we landed on the moon I think people love those pictures so where do we go from here you saw pictures of what you've been told existed your entire life where's the surprise where's the you know like I'm just like oh Uranus looks like I was like oh shit there's really rings around Saturn you don't fucking say they told me that my whole life I mean the fact that we're able to take that picture and the human innovation and the technology the technological innovation that it requires is obviously breathtaking but I can't like watching that live on Netflix like get a grip like who cares who cares yeah I mean like you said the technological advancement part of it I think that's good and I think that's awesome and it's more so you know they're doing the long game planting the slow seeds for future generations to finally maybe do it one day.

1:01:15Jason Stewart:But, I mean, obviously, I'm not the smartest person. I don't know anything about this. Don't say that, Jason. Don't say that. People that know that much about space, anybody with a NASA hoodie, they ain't smart either, bro. They chose to focus on something else. How difficult it was last week to time our spaceship to go all the way over and hit this moving object light years away and do a loop around it and come back home and how crazy we're only 5 ,000 miles away from it. And I'm like, so how did we do that 50 years ago and then landed on that bitch with zero technology? Bro, feed the homeless.

1:01:57Like, stop using this money on this dumb shit. Who gives a fuck about this? Like, literally, this does not affect us in any way except, you know, it's shock and awe and impressive for like nerds and New York Times subscribers. There's no upside to this at all. Whereas the amount of money being spent on exploring space could really be spent on bettering the human race.

1:02:25Jason Stewart:I agree with you, especially in these trying times of war and famine. And we have a lot of issues here on planet Earth that need to be fixed before we see what's popping with Pluto. But I don't know. I think when the world is exploring space. It's a good distraction. I mean, well, it's a good distraction, but I think it's a sign that life is going well on planet Earth when we're being considerate and we're caring about our place in the future and our future generations and exploring science and our existence. It's nice to have the ability to do that and not have, you know, whatever, warheads raining down on you or trying to figure out if you should buy cigarettes or dinner.
