Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:18How long gone? Chris Black coming to you from beautiful London. It's coming home, Jason. How are you?
0:24Jason Stewart:How am I? Oh, I'm riding high. It was a little tough to see Norway go down yesterday where'd you watch the match i went to a um pub well some people are calling it a fake pub because it's nice and new but it's called the fat badger in uh nodding hill and it was you know what what fascinated me because this is obviously my first experience in getting caught up in the vortex of football in real time you know when like when sports are on at places in america in my experience everybody's kind of hanging out and the sports are on you know what i mean like some people are concentrating more than others but overall we're socializing and there's some tvs in the room the game's on but the bros are chatting we're getting another round of wings yeah and i have a feeling the opposite was happening down at the badger the badger was rammed uh with you know like hot west end girls and the guys that can afford them and uh it was yeah it was it was full concentration this badger was rammed every single person in the room was facing the screen like there was you know what i mean there was no like there was no side convos going on so it was i stayed i stayed till like 12 30 i couldn't do the 2 a.m i couldn't i didn't have it in me oh yeah i forgot yeah i mean i was watching the match around lunchtime i feel yeah it was it was like a 10 10 p.m start so izzy and i had dinner in the neighborhood and then we walked over um and you know british people she just knows more about football than i would ever imagine that she would you know it's it's it really is a cultural difference it's just i'm looking at photos of the fat badger i don't know if i would call this a pub this looks like a very nice rustic restaurant hey i'm just telling you i agree with you but i'm not i'm not an expert i it was referred to as a pub to me um it's connected to that restaurant canteen i think i've been to it's quite good i think you might have been there too yeah but anyway i mean i mean is there is do we need to invent a new word for a modern nice well back in the venture capital backed pub back in the day it was gastropub you know yeah this is a gas fab badger is a great gastropub addition into the marketplace because you can also have you know i'm sure at your table you can get a little cup full of pretzel sticks or sun chips or cheesy doodle sticks and then also if you need you know a quail's brain or a calf's liver or you know duck terrine don't mind if i do we also are offering a wiser melon smoothie for 14 quid here yeah it's definitely a little bit of that but i also i think that the differentiation that i've been hearing is it's not a real boozer which you know obviously i i know the difference between even though people seem to be boozing as well as other things i know the difference between you know bar and real boozer i think okay so for our listeners at home a boozer is like you go to we we're doing serious drinking here versus you We're milling about having a glass of orange, some type of spritz, and that's about it, versus we're going here, 50 % chance we're getting arrested kind of vibe.
3:29Jason Stewart:I'm going to call the guy. That kind of stuff. It seemed to be people in the packet last night. When several guys are going to the bathroom together, it only means one thing, Jason, and that's cocaine or gay sex. So it could have been both. Yeah, so they said this white powder is going back to where it belongs. It is coming home, right up the old trusty. It's coming home. She's making a move on the right, a quick move on the right nostril, and in she goes. But the best part was I didn't know. Obviously, I don't follow the sport. So when the first goal was scored by England, everyone started singing Hey Jude.
4:00I was like, what the fuck? Is this just like a British song that everybody likes? Like, what's going on? And then I did find out the player's name. Guy who's never heard Hey Jude. Yeah. So British song?
4:09Jason Stewart:Everyone seems to know it. I should learn this. But then I found out the guy who scored, I think scored a couple goals, his first name is Jude. so that made a little more sense to me once i i did the math on that we're talking about jude bellingham yes who is the hot 22 year olds um yeah soccer player and carolyn was like oh wow bellingham i was like how do you know who bellingham is she's like yeah every on the feed i talked to a an unnamed gay man earlier today who was like i was looking at my search history this morning and i realized i had searched you know jude bellingham nude uh last night during during during the game i do know him that name does sound familiar i mean yeah i was like yeah actually carolyn he was in a skims ad and before i could even finish saying this the k in the word skims she hit me with the oh so he's okay see these guys because the famous guy on england from what i could tell was a guy named harry harry kane harry kane who is who looks extremely british but also looks 10 years older than he is from the stress of carrying the team on his back yeah he looks older than calvin harris yes he does but he looks a lot he looks like calvin harris's um republican older brother yeah he does look like a tory yeah he does have he does have that look about him but yeah he famously announced that he had uh did a round of golf with trump last year and you know so it really is like do you want this you know blonde haired blue-eyed british guy who hangs out with trump or who also looks 43 or do you want the 23 year old mixed race guy with uh who's hairless and hung well you know it's it's not tough or your other option is the guy from norway who looks like a villain you know who's who's also villain is putting it nicely he's one of the most interesting looking people on planet earth i i really like it harry kane was born in 1993 that's crazy had fully formed brains at that age and he looks our age dude he looks he he looks like he's been in like the accounting department and it's it's stressed him out that that's the vibe this is this is british he's got british disease some of our finest brits have it where you look like a little cherubic angel and then you turn 27 and guy who works at the docks it just turns one day turns on you it turns i bet you have a look at a photo of him when he was 16 he looked four well it's like the it's like prince harry and prince william you know they've aged like a fine cheese in the sun yeah it's really it's not it's not great like a humbled fall fog yes exactly august noontime heat i love smoking on that humboldt fog um but yeah anyway it was it was a fun it was fun to be a part of it i uh i like i said i made it as late as i could because i've been out late i went to see george at fabric oh yeah he invited me to that i was so bummed i was like what what time frame is chris gonna attend this club is it gonna be 9 45 to 10 15 and he was like i met no no no no he and he was like yeah that's confirmed and and just let But you know, the club doesn't open at 945.
7:07Jason Stewart:He will be there. Just to kind of check out. I'm going to be outside. Know where the exits are and stuff like that. Hanging around. Yeah, I have to walk the premises to make sure I know how to get out. First one in, first one out. I met Shod at Space Talk, a new listening room around the corner, I guess, which was quite cool, actually. And then... The fat badger of listening rooms, I'm reading. I got to say, man. I got to say, fabric. Legendary nightclub fabric, which I, you know, I recognize the history. history um the smell in that room is something i have like obviously we got there like 11 so it wasn't that early it wasn't that early the smell the smell inside of fabric is something that has never touched my experience nostrils ever before like i don't even know what the mixture is that makes it so pungent notes of frankincense what are we thinking yeah that's yeah if that's a new designer drug i've never heard of that makes people blossom it's like obviously it's a mix of whatever the British version of Fabuloso is.
8:06You know what I mean? And maybe incense and maybe spilled beer and also buzz balls. And I just don't know what the possible combination could be to get this. It's so twisted. It is so twisted on the nose. Okay.
8:21Jason Stewart:So the Fabulosa, I just looked it up. Fabulosa, I was like, what's the British version of Fabuloso cleaner? And it said it's called Fabulosa. There you go. Boom. We just changed one letter. It's just a female conjugation. Yeah, so I know all about the smell of nightclubs. You do. Having spent a lot of time in them. That's why I'm bringing this up. And it's not unlike the smell of a bar or a pub. And when you go into, I've always, I don't know how much of it is like psychosomatic, but when you go into a club before it is open and full of people, it has a much different smell than when the lights are on and the gear is turned on and sound is happening.
9:02Jason Stewart:it just distracts you from it but when you go in to pick up that you know that bar tab that you forgot the credit card everyone listening has done and you go you know 2 45 p.m a disgruntled bar back is trying to find your card for you and that smell just decades of beer in in the wood flooring in the sub flooring just stale damp air cigarettes it's just vermin i know but there was something I have not smelled this as much as you. God bless. Obviously, you've spent a lot of time in the club, too. You've been at the club picking up that bar check the next day, the little$375 bar check. They hit me with that automatic 20 % when you leave the Visa debit.
9:43You know what I mean? Yeah, we've all been there.
9:45Jason Stewart:Yeah, they hit you with the 20%. We've all been there on the promoter side as well as the customer forward-facing side. But, I mean, I guess it takes a special club to have such a special smell. I think it's the history. I think it's the history. I think it's been there for so long that it predates. There's smells that predate our current era that I wouldn't have access to. You know what I mean? The ass of Carl Craig is baked into the walls there. Yeah, literally. I left at one. I had a pretty good showing. It was, of course, before George touched the decks, but still, I was able to make it home.
10:20Jason Stewart:I mean, it's hard to do that in L.A. when the club is done earlier. It's like, oh. It was a late. I've been out late. I've been out late. Okay, so you are more hungover than me? Is that what's happening? Well, today I have also, I went to Hackney this morning, and then I had lunch at the Heart with Con. I've been all over town today on a bike because the weather's so nice. So I'm feeling a little fried. I'm feeling a little fried. Did you have, I know they don't have ice cubes there, but did you find a cold brew or something you could bring in? You know what I did, Jason? Yesterday I went to a place called Watch House that's like a pretty popular coffee house.
10:53It's pretty good. and I ordered a cold brew and these motherfuckers handed me a can and a cup of ice. Because they make their own cold brew in a can. Oh, they hit you with the DTC? I get it. I totally get it. Put this shit on tap. Like, come on. Put this shit in the cup for me. Don't make me... It just feels like I'm going to a fucking off-license. Like, come on. Put it in the cup like a restaurant. Like, it just... It made me mad. And it was too fruity. It was too fruity as well. The brew was too fruity.
11:21Jason Stewart:Yeah, or just bring the can. Yeah, exactly. Well, they asked me if I wanted ice, and I was like, yeah, no shit. Look at me. And then I realized why they were asking that. And I was not pleased. I was not pleased. They hate to give up that ice over there, don't they? Those little bastards. Even when it's, I mean, it's so nice outside. It's hot, of course. Like Wimbledon in a suit was not my favorite thing I've ever done. But compared to Miami or New York or anywhere else with humidity, it's pretty good. It's pretty primetime summer shit. So you went to Wimbledon? You've had such a week, Chris. I've had a week, yeah.
11:54I went to see Coco fucking lose. Just duff it into the net and crunch time. I don't know if she's ready for the big leagues, TJ. Osaka's up and Coco down? Well, I mean, Osaka's not up. She's still lost and she looks stupid. But, I mean, I think Coco's at least cool.
12:10Jason Stewart:I just wanted to bring it up just to make sure you still have the same thoughts. At least Coco can do a press conference where she, like, smiles, you know, and makes a joke. But, yeah, it was crazy. She kind of just – Don't she give us a smile, pretty, pretty? she really she really choked man she really choked but it was it was fun because you know we tried to go to wimbledon a couple years ago and got rained out so i was happy to experience it having having wimbledon during world cup i feel like that's going to be shit for ratings uh i think are they being shot upon i wonder i feel like it's i feel like people who like all sports find a way to see it all like if you're a real you know what i mean if you really love this shit like my my fox sports package right now yeah no it's legal this is nfl red zone this is league pass shit like you're gonna find a way using your bbc iplayer real sports fans find a way to watch it all only on fs1 to view all this shit yeah i mean i i was i was watching um sorry to interrupt like last week a random ass game you know like not even a huge one kind of an off time and then you know during halftime i was like oh there's like a whatever lakers game on or something like that and it looked it looked like a high school match in terms of production quality crowd attendance energy really I don't know if it was like because everyone wanted to watch soccer instead of basketball but it really does affect everything like I plan trips you know if I have to drive for a far distance or go somewhere on the west side or something try to plan it around a World Cup match if you could plan a LAX arrival while fucking Argentina's playing or Mexico's playing I'm gonna work on that the yeah I drove to that spot LA grocery you know which is in like Hollywood from my house and Saturday morning normally traffic's fucked up I was going 87 down the 101 Hollywood and Vine no one around what game was on Argentina was on I was actually no game which is not great for my point and story but no I didn't mean to I didn't mean to pry you pried it up and you like do you like what's inside do you like the nut no walking from walking from the restaurant to the game to the bar last night to watch the game the streets are like it's tumbleweeds in london it was crazy because it had been on for 15 minutes oh yeah you know what i mean it just it just started match in england mate it's tumbles if you ever wanted to rob the louvre again yeah yeah that's the time it's the british louvre we can go to the v &a east wait to the hydration break and rob the louvre not the hydration rob the jewelry store but i did see something at the in the hospitality suites at wimbledon they had a avion water cooler if it ain't broke don't fix it uh that sounds right until you actually do the math i'm not i'm not great at math jason uh for for most businesses shipping is that thing uh what is it actually costing you because if nobody's questioning it it's probably costing way more than it should thank god ship stash on make switching easy and the savings are immediate yeah shipping is that bitch we gotta do it and everything from order management to inventory returns it's all in one place with one automated rate shopping so you can compare those rates across ups usps fedex all of the carriers saving you up to 90 off sometimes we connect with over 200 marketplaces online and the accounting and CRM tools you're looking for are already there.

16:38Hell no. That's BS. That's absolute BS. The gap between believing mental health support and actually seeking it seems like a problem to me. And I think in our circles, Jason, everybody's encouraging everybody to get help in any way they can.
16:53Jason Stewart:Yeah, in any way you can. And nowadays, we don't have any friends that we can lean on or family. We don't want to talk to them. And that's where BetterHelp comes in, Chris.

20:05Jason Stewart:They did a photo shoot where Lindsay is literally holding like a death machine and smiling like it's his confession to fucking merch that he just bought. The next day, that entire facility was bombed by Russia and now he has been announced that he has suddenly passed away. And no, I don't know. I don't think people are saying that they like bombed it while he was in there, but, or if he like got shook and had a heart attack or whatever it is. But in classic TJ fashion, you're, you're smelling funny business. I mean, you know, there's all of these famous political deaths, you know, you know, you know, whether you're a Mitch McConnell or a Lindsey Graham, or you, you're somebody who's been installed to kill Charlie Kirk or, you know, try to shoot Donald Trump at that convention a month ago or whatever, like you don't hear about, you don't hear any information about these people.
21:05Jason Stewart:And Luigi, you know, they just kind of brush it all under the, under the rug. But there have been a lot of, of jokes making light of him. And, you know, it shows that humanity really does want to make these kind of gallows, humor jokes. And they just are waiting for the right, correct person to pass away. So they can say, you know, Everybody, test your Coke, you guys. My favorite was don't do Cialis with poppers, guys. Be careful, which is pretty good. Wait, are you serious? Hold on. I think that it is funny, though, that some people, you can just, I mean, obviously, Lindsey Graham is very funny to make fun of and easy to make fun of, and he's a bad guy.
21:46But it's so funny that no one's defending him. Charlie Kirk jokes, people get mad. That's true. Lindsey Graham jokes, you don't see.
21:55Jason Stewart:A little riskier. yeah it's it's grant i mean obviously some people are gonna get mad but they're far between and living in the the rolling hills of appalachia but it's a funny it's a it's been a very intense that the um outpouring has been very interesting i would say yeah shout out to he's our our closeted king our closeted king i i mean i'm i'm glad nobody died at these jay-z shows because i feel like the age they're getting up there you know what i mean they're getting up there the unction at Yankee Stadium, but I sent you the tweet yesterday. It seems like a friend of the show, Azalea Banks, is thirsting for Hove a little bit, saying that he looked hot with his fitted and his Caesar, but that his t-shirt was a little too small.
22:40And I saw the t-shirt, and it looked to me to fit properly.
22:46Jason Stewart:I agree with you. It wasn't baggy, but it was not too tight. No, I just, okay, I wanted to make sure we were on the same page before we went forward no we're on the same page she might you know i think people have their version of these celebrities or rappers or whatever in their mind and they want to keep that forever you know i want to have my guy wearing a triple xl crispy white tee and the sideways fitted like that's how i picture him when i'm masturbating so that's what i want you know i don't want him to see him size down and and be giving a different look i want you Some people are like, I want to remember when Jay-Z and LeBron would wear three-piece suits with pocket watches and pinstriped top hats and things like that.
23:30Jason Stewart:There's people out there who are like, that's what I want Jay-Z to be wearing on night three or whatever. Yeah, I think he is, funnily enough, looking pretty age-appropriate in these. I mean, besides wearing the vest that is, I think. I'm going to say it's Blue's influence. Blue's old enough and she's like, all right, y 'all, time to clean all this up. Let's... Yeah, like, let's... Y 'all need to stop playing. Y 'all old as hell. And it's cool. I mean, I guess that is good advertising for having children that you can have people that are able to queer eye you once you turn washed.
24:08Man, I got queer on my 14-year-old. She said, you look dusty.
24:11Jason Stewart:Imagine just waking up in your fucking... wherever they live. You know, the La Jolla mansion for their summer house and blue's like all right get up guys and just goes in the closet starts throwing away all the fucking bullshit we got a hair appointment jay 11 15 don't be late we're finally going to clean that up you know and she just goes in boom boom boom all right here's the rappers you got to know about here's you guys can't be talking about sean john anymore there's no more baby fat there's no more any of that there's no more dairy on jeans oh you know jason Don't bring that out now. God, you're going to get me misty in here.
24:48I'm going to choke up, bro. Damn.
24:50Jason Stewart:Got me on hard looking at you in them Darion jeans. But it's crazy that David Cho is going to all three nights of this because the set is different. But do you like anything enough to go to three nights when it's that sort of commute? This is Puerto Rican Grateful Dead at the Sphere. You got to go every night. You got to tailgate. You got to do the whole thing. There's nothing I like enough to go three nights of commuting from Manhattan to Yankee Stadium. What about the Olivia Rodrigo Music Festival in Irvine, California, All Women? You could do three of those, couldn't you? As much as I support that festival and the movement that Olivia's created, three nights of that is too much for even an ally like me, Jason.
25:29Jason Stewart:On day two, you'd start asking about where's the talent at? Is there a different VIP? Does anybody here know how to play guitar or is it just they hold it? i'm joking come on i'm joking oh yeah i'm joking i'll see you guys next week i disagree i think women can play musical instruments i think they're better i mean i i like them because they don't try to solo as much because they have less of an ego and that's why women musicians are better than men yeah you know all women musicians are better than the new future record dudes dude yoko ono is better than the new future record that's that honestly that song i sent you That shit is crazy It's crazy I mean No no no It's crazy It's like It's shocking I was listening to it Are you talking about The one where he's doing His little high pitched voice Yeah yeah yeah His Reptar voice What is that Like what is that Is that just like I'm trying some shit
26:38Jason Stewart:carti and some other rappers started doing it you know five years ago yeah it was very like you got to be a certain cat to be able to pull this shit off and like thug was doing it for you know he was good at it for a summer and then it kind of got a little old really quick and then people kind of stopped doing it the weird little i'm a little baby kind of what was that pissy pamper that that cardi song yes yes which is great love it fabulous but how could we forget we we can't have a 45 year old multi-millionaire doing the goo goo gaga voice it's just unless he's trying to have sex with women that are younger than he should be having sex with which i would never accuse future hey no future ain't doing that but i i do think that the i think that the people are genuine like i listened to joe budden talk about it and he was he was going crazy he was like this shit is ass and they were trying to defend it i mean i i'm just like i think that we want so much from him because he was so cool and that era is very very it's it's been a very very long time and we're not ready to move on who are we just talking about last week about musicians that don't know when to hang it up and they can't like he's and about how people end up getting you know their careers are done so much earlier in their life oh we were talking about louis ck i think which is fine like just future go go play fucking go play the hits bro go play march madness for the rest of your life you don't ever have to do this shit again you're a legend you're the goat he looks cool now i like the way he looks he looks better like everything everything about probably is cooler everything about this album except the music feels better the name the title is hilarious i think another another thing is when when you are a rapper and you have this persona whether it is whether whether you're a clips member talking about how you never fly private when obviously you i want to know i need to clear this up i need to clear this up but quickly not not because i i do love push a t but i want to clear it up i think what people i think people on the internet are confusing economy flying with regular flying and private flying like commercial flying is not the same as economy flying push a t is not sitting in 43f push a t is in first class and that is not the same as as economy unless it's a last minute emergency you had a cancellation and you had to hop on i understand that rappers are braggadocious and they be lying sometimes um but i think like as a fan of push a t taking a picture of him without him knowing in the airport is doesn't prove anything that doesn't mean anything he's standing he's standing at whatever at whatever airport that's not you need if you're gonna really try to hang this guy out to dry you gotta find a picture of him next to the bathroom on united this ain't gonna I see him with a little sun chips bag in his hand.
29:36Jason Stewart:Not the small one, the mini one. Yeah, this ain't enough for me. I think that like... He's got to be in his section where they pour him the Diet Coke and he says, can I have the can? And they say, no. Yeah, no, exactly, dude, exactly. No, oh, you thought you were getting fever tree tonic water for free? Get out of your goddamn much. Ain't no fever tree back here, honey. Uh-uh-uh. We got Fresca. Okay, so do you think... I mean, just one month ago, we got the same photo of Rick Ross flying commercial. This month, we got a member of Clips. Next month, whoever it's going to be, I don't know. Is it a little bit of they deserve it?
30:12Jason Stewart:If you spend much of your life and occupation talking about how you only fly private, you're sort of asking for it when you go, you know, you're a famous person. You're going to get flicked up. I think it's fair game if you want to play that character. I'm not saying it's not a fair game. I just don't think these guys are saying I only fly private. I think they're saying stuff that's dumber and people are interpreting it as I only fly private. That's what that's what I think is happening. I just I guess that this goes back to the classic issue of media literacy and the fact that people are are not understanding what is being said.
30:51like of course it's funny like rick ross also looked like he was a thought that he just shared a room with four other girls in fort lauderdale for the weekend with like broke boy luggage and a hoodie up you know i mean pusher t is standing there looking pretty good look like a cast member of the film zola yeah yeah yeah like like pusher t looks like normal to me like he looks like a guy he's wearing a nice jacket i can't see his luggage whatever i just don't think this is he's holding
31:16Jason Stewart:a leather bag that costs more than a first class flight. Yeah, absolutely. I'm just saying that I think that as an OVO Chris, I understand wanting to throw shots at anyone who comes for a king, but I think this is one of the dumber things I've seen. Besides the guy who fucked with the bison and found out, this is one of the dumber things in the last week. You fucked with the bison and you found out. yeah but you're right it's it's look if you're if you're if you're push a t and you're at the fucking atlanta airport connecting you're opening yourself up to criticism and and also take a page out of regular real celebrities who really shouldn't be flying commercial you know kendall and and alordi are bopping down to queensland or whatever the hoodie is up the sunglasses are on The hat is on.
32:10Jason Stewart:The brim is low. We can see a half inch of one of your cheeks. If we take a photo of you, TMZ ain't going to buy it. I just think that private airline transportation has become too public. It used to be a thing that was only for a level of person that most people weren't interacting with. and now because of influencers and and jet share and blah blah blah it's become like i don't think people understand the astronomical cost of it and how stupid it is for most things and how and and and how un-luxurious it is 90 of the time i mean the only the best part is that you get to drive out into onto a car and walk on the plane and leave whenever you want like of course that's nice but is that worth one hundred thousand dollars you don't have to smell the same air as for as as as poor people, but you're in a smaller plane.
33:02Jason Stewart:There's more turbulence. The plane is - No, let me clear this up. It is absolutely better. It is 100 % better. And the downsides are nil, except for the astronomical prices. It's not a smart thing. No matter how rich you are, it's not a smart thing to do. I don't care about the environment. I don't give a shit about that. It's just a financial, it's a mistake. It's not smart to do unless you have it figured out or it's a danger. you know it's like scary yeah it should be for emergency use only like you you really can't there was a different you know i think i saw delta was announcing like a new first class yeah they're fucking us again they're fucking us sideways this time i don't remember exactly what it was but it seems like it's like delta one regular delta delta 0.5 you can't pick your seat and you don't go to the lounge oh but you get the lay flat and everything else yeah the delta one lounge i was just in it on the way over here it was busier than the airport it sucks like i i don't i mean it's like i bring my own food and the staff gets mad at me and it's like i just don't i guess what i'm saying is i just don't understand like i think people i wonder how many people that's the experience they want versus the actual like i get to sleep on the plane for 10 hours right yeah like i think we're gonna find out i think it's i think more people want that lounge experience than you think and i know the sad part and i know i think but it's one of those things where when you first experience it you're like hell yeah i'm gonna go three hours early and have my tasting menu brought to you by fucking 11 madison park or whatever i'm gonna get a foot rub and while i have my lychee martini you do it three times and you're like now i'm gonna show up to the airport uh 37 minutes before boarding time and go to where i want to go and that's it i can i can pour myself a glass of store-bought orange juice at home just as easily well i wonder i wonder the real key to delta one at jfk and lax at least is the security if you can go through the security not go to the lounge and not pick your seat i'm cool with that if it's saving thousands of dollars same same like who cares that's not i don't know it seems like they're almost trying to have certain routes be only first class and only economy and only delta ones or something like that i wonder if it's a situation that they're trying to because there's new planes where the first half is all first class and the second half is is premium economy have you seen that no but that makes sense i don't depending on the route like you said like it's not going to work from fucking you know charlottesville to birmingham but there are routes that that would work on i i just don't the fact that they will find a new way to fuck us every time is admirable at this point like i'm like impressed by it they're doing backflips to find new ways to charge us more for less and i feel like the the economics of it really rival you know economics of the world in general of like you know the billionaire tax you know and the delta one tax you know are the are the people who are buying the ten thousand dollar first class flights those are the people who make it possible for you know the regular people to take the three hundred dollar flight to new york you know are those costs being offset it's pretty interesting stuff i don't know why you sounded like you were lying um i mentioned yoko ono earlier and i was thinking um driving around los angeles there's all these on the on the light posts they'll do promotional materials flags posters for art shows coming up exhibitions there's one at the broad museum downtown for the yoko ono exhibit and i was thinking like you know i don't how many people in la are gonna schlep downtown to to the broad museum to go check out the artwork of yoko ono how many people love yoko ono that much to go do that and then i was thinking more so i don't know a single person who likes yoko ono period oh no she's no she's reviled i would say by most people but i think so so are people going to this show to hate watch it or just because the connection to potentially seeing beatles stuff no i think people i think people have a fascination with yoko ono i think that also the broad is like i mean that's just a lot of museums especially in the summer the business is just tourists they're going they don't it's not really about what's on view it's more about the building take photos in front of the gift i'm in la i'm gonna hit mocha i'm gonna hit lacma i'm gonna hit the bro downtown you know and that's kind of that's what i would because i i don't know i mean yoko ono has had some high points i'm not gonna totally shit on her but she's most famous for ruining our greatest band so it's it's it is a tough putt in that way I mean, I kind of like her just being like a fucking menace in general, but I don't know any artwork that she's created that people seem to like.
37:59Jason Stewart:I know the music people are actively violent against. I just wonder who are these people that are like, yes, let's do a Yoko Ono show, take over a fucking$50 million museum. I can tell you exactly. It's a family of four from fucking outside of Stockholm. It's in L.A. for 10 days. and they got Universal Studios, they got Disneyland, they got the museums, they got pinks for a dog. They're a little sunburned. They just want to go in the AC and let these kids walk around and be left alone. Okay. That's my guess. And then to top it all off, let's go into a room with a small Japanese woman screaming while she, like, stabs a teddy bear.
Read the full transcript
38:40Jason Stewart:Hey, man. A little something for the kids. Hey, man, kids. And then we're going to check out, see if In-N-Out is up to all the pranks. Yeah, you say In-N-Out, it's just a burger, but I'll guess we'll go. I'm going to see what all the fuss is about. Oh, they have Chick-fil-A here too. We got to put the roof up on the rental Mustang. The sun's a little too bright while we're in the drive-thru line. This is fucking, this is cooking me. Oh, I was in Atwater a couple of days ago. You said you went back to the old day to check in with the OGs? Are you still good? Funny you say that. I did feel like an OG because every time I go there, you're like, oh, this place sucks or whatever.
39:14Jason Stewart:But I saw two dudes walking down the street who looked kind of like teen gang members, like little Mexican cholo kids, maybe like 16. You could tell the difference between like crop top jorts Mexican and I'm kind of in a gang Mexican, you know? Sure, sure. One of the guys was wearing zero drop wide toe box flat shoes. That is fire. Dude, I mean, look. Imagine getting stabbed by a guy with toe shoes. Jason, foot health, plantar fasciitis, this plagues us all. I agree. No matter what your discipline is as far as the arts go, whether dark or light, foot health is important. Some say it's the foundation of health.
39:59Jason Stewart:It was truly, I'm old, I'm washed, I'm onked when I have feelings. You cannot be a street tough in a gang and wearing your little 0.0s. Jason, times have changed, bro. I think you're living in the past. I think you need to get up to speed. Because this guy also, Jason, who knows what he's putting up on the deadlift? Who knows what the back squat's looking like? Not in my America. No, I like this progress. I think everybody should care about their foot health more. It's something I deal with on a daily basis. I guess it does look better when you have the Ben Davis pants cut off into the capris.
40:38Jason Stewart:It's fly. I would much rather see a zero drop shoe. The silhouette of it is more pleasing to the eye than, let's say, a big, fat, chunky Hoka as he's running down the LA River. I think this is kind of a fly look, honestly. The way you're describing it, I'm visualizing it. Was he wearing just a tank top, an A shirt? It was like a white tee, some black shorts. The shorts were long, like below the knee, like cholo length. And then a zero drop shoe. And I looked down at the shoe and I was like, no, hold on. And I had to scroll back up. And I was like, maybe these guys are just like non-binary baristas.
41:20Jason Stewart:And I just misjudged them at first glance. Oh, I'm sorry, fellas. Excuse me. I'm so sorry. I thought you guys were tough. Never mind. no but i scrolled back up with my eyes on their bodies and i was like son no these are these are certified street toughs these are these are little gangstas i'm i'm starting to worry jason that at your big age that maybe you aren't able to pick out the gangsta like you used to be that's what i'm that's what i'm i i trust you i know you're you've lived in l.a your whole life you know this stuff better than i do but i'm getting worried that you know i don't know man i think maybe it's tough to decipher as you get as grandpa gets up there i i agree with you and that's something that i hadn't considered until now thank you but um i don't mean i'm not trying to hit a sore spot i think once you hit a certain age and you're you know quote unquote said in your ways maybe you could do the same thing with you know judging a rapper being hard or not or whatever yeah for sure where you're like okay maybe this person who is wearing his his little erl jorts and his zero drop shoes is actually a cold-blooded killer who has you know a vendetta against the the police and he's and he's sniping detectives and he's robbing old ladies maybe that's happening and i that's just how little gangstas look right now but but when you when you have the old wash mind you say maybe the world thinks that but the in the courtroom of my mind in my judge ito that lives inside of my skull you ain't a gangster to me oh baby it is summer jason we're peaking right now it's july 4th weekend it's hot as hell outside but things do feel easier the days are a little more relaxed uh and i'm sure you can agree jason i find myself reaching for the same comfortable go anywhere staples again and again.
43:09And that's why we keep returning to the altar of Quince. They focus on well-made essentials that naturally become those everyday staples that you live in all season long, no matter what the season is.
43:20Jason Stewart:Yeah, Chris, I'm tangled up in linen over here. And this linen, it's European and we're breathable. Sometimes you don't want to wear shorts. Maybe it's a little bit more of a formal lunch or whatever it is. You got the beach club and you want to go to dinner but you don't want to be wearing some heavy jeans or pants. Some beautiful linen is right there for you. Rotate it into your summer look and those are starting at just$34. Get some nice lightweight soft tees to live in. You know throw a little sweater on over the shoulders at night when it gets nippy. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories cutting out the middleman so you are only paying for exceptional quality not brand bs so make your summer wardrobe easier go to quince.com slash how long for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns now available in canada that is q u i n c e.com slash how long for free shipping and 365 65 day returns.

Storm Energy Blend helps boost metabolism, which in combination with exercise and a healthy diet helps burn fat. This product alone does not produce weight loss. Individual results may vary. I could watch you. I could watch you rob a dollar tree right now and I'll say no. OK, next time you see this and this happens to you, I would like for you to check their gangsta, test their gangsta to see how rotten your old brain is. And let's see what happens because I've, I will test their gangster.
45:04I feel I'm worried that we could lose TJ or at least a lot of TJ's blood in this interaction. And it's maybe I'm saying just stay on your side of the street, big dog. You know what I mean? Don't, don't test the G don't test the G.
45:16Jason Stewart:You just told me to test the G. I know I'm confused, but I mean, it's the same thing. I'm sorry. I, you're right. So this young thug guy, he wears dresses and sings in baby voice. And like, yeah, isn't it fucking gay? And then a month later, they're like, oh, yeah, there's a Rico charge for murdering 20 people. Okay. Yeah, it is hard to understand. And that's why I'm thinking some of these guys that may do crime for a living also shop at H. Lorenzo in Departamento. I don't think it's out of the question. I don't think it's out of the question. You made my matcha too sweet, bitch. I got the vis-vis jorts on with the five fingers, and I need extra pump in my matcha.
45:56Yeah, it's not out of the question.
45:58Jason Stewart:I saw another thing. I was in my house washing the dishes or whatever. Look out the window. I hear a sound, like a little bee buzzing sound. The fucking, your drone that was dropping off your Amazon package? No, I hear the buzzing. I look outside. There's no swarms of bumblebees, no hornet's nests. there's a dude walking down the street maybe he's Armenian, maybe he's not he's got the big electric shaver like the kind that you give your dad for Christmas in 2003 and he is on a walk this is fly, I know where this is going tank top on, shorts on fire and he is doing a full face and beard trim with the clippers not a single hair is inside the house he's getting his steps in he's getting his vitamin D, cortisol levels are down I like it too I have to say, I like it too.
46:49And I've, you know, this feels like something that would alarm people in your sort of Pleasantville neighborhood. Because this does feel like unhoused behavior in some ways. This feels like something you would see in the depths of, you know, a bad street in Dimes Square after somebody hit the pipe a few too many times.
47:10Jason Stewart:It's an activity of somebody who's leaning more down on their luck than high on the hog. But I think you're right. It is. The reason I get, part of the reason I get my haircut and beard trimmed at a barbershop is because of this reason. I don't want to clean up. And I don't want anybody in my life or a cleaning lady to have to deal with that. Yeah, nothing a woman hates more than seeing a hair in the wild that's not attached to someone's body. Well, yeah, there's shit everywhere. Fucking clogging drains. Even their own hair. Nah, these hoes be shedding, bro. It's like Mr. Ed. like a hair everywhere how how often do you have to empty out the grease trap at your your hair is everywhere uh no i mean it's not i'm just saying in general when obviously especially in my case uh the woman that i'm married to and live with has much more hair than me so it's always we know who to blame we know who to blame in your house too carolyn has a beautiful head of hair and not that you don't i would never say that i'm just saying she's numbers wise yeah she has she's famously known for a beautiful long hair down to the ass crack whereas i have beautiful hair but you know what i'm doing what inch and a half on hard it's it's it's it's yeah look is mine healthier who knows it's an half on chubb i'm not yeah i'm not trying to get into it i'm not i am not just it's a dirty game that neither of us plan to get into but well yeah when it's a solution that i think is great because whenever i do the beard trim it's usually maybe like every whatever week and a half or so maybe three times a month i'll i'll trim it up and clean it up and i will lay down a towel on over this bathroom sink i lay down a towel girl don't worry about it all right all right trey songs relax and then i then triggered triggered trigger trigger tt you know i take my shirt off real slow how have i never thought about this trigger tj damn oh i do it to myself why we pod this is why we pod okay um yeah i lay i lay a towel down girls no big deal and then i slowly take my shirt off and then i do the beard trim i have to i lean over lean forward yeah yeah get up off the heels well speaking of foot health good to do that some of my hair because of my can't contain it my clip my clavicular bones create a little well that will catch it you know you know after it's rained and some of the tree roots will catch a small little ecosystem of water.
49:41Jason Stewart:You know what I'm talking about? Uh-huh, yeah. Obviously, you've seen Tumblr photos of somebody pouring a latte into someone's clavicular bones, right? Yeah, just like that. Anyway, the little hairs will get stuck in my clavicular. I run a little sweaty, so it's tough to get them out. Otherwise, cleanup is a snap. People have made all these devices for this. It's like when people put the thing underneath the basketball hoop that gets the ball back to them when they're shooting alone. I've considered that. There's several of those on the market for this exact purpose for men. It makes you look like a dog being groomed at Petco while you have this device on.
50:18Jason Stewart:It's a very humiliation. I got to say, I got to say, I would rather, if I'm in Glendale at 8 a.m. and you're walking the dog, I would rather see you doing that, trimming your beard on the street, than see you in your house with some T-Moo plastic container that is meant to catch the strays. Hey, what up, sharks? I'm looking for 30%. Okay, I wanted to talk our dear friend, Ryland. I told you the story earlier about this dog psychic. Yeah, I saw that he posted that on Instagram, and I was like, I know Ryland, and I know he's being serious, but I also don't know if I want to follow up. And when you told me the information, I should have followed up.
51:00Jason Stewart:Yeah, we have a consultation on the calendar for this Friday. Do you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so basically our friend, he rescued a dog, a cute little dog, and it was owned previously by a hoarder person, wheelchair-bound, not living good, not getting the correct blend of nutrients in the body and just kind of traumatized in general. They rescued the dog. Everything's great. It's super cute. But the dog will not pee outside. Which I don't know much about dogs, but that's a problem. Yeah. So that means that your dog is still peeing and shitting. It's just doing it inside of your house on top of your belongings.
51:44Jason Stewart:In your home. Okay, I got it. So you're like, we got this great new dog. It's cute. It's amazing. But every three hours, we're getting the bissel out. No bueno. So they find out about a dog psychic. They do a meeting. I don't know if it's, I guess it's Zoom, I think. And anyway, the dog psychic says that, hey guys, this dog keeps saying over and over again, hot dogs. It's saying hot dogs. This just sounds like, this literally sounds like a lie. It's too crazy. And this is coming from a trusted source, a person who's level-headed and pragmatic. Yeah, the most level-headed, the most level-headed.
52:24Jason Stewart:One of the most level-headed people I know. It makes us look young, wild, and free, flagrant in comparison. And they're like, what the fuck are you talking about? The dog keeps repeating hot dog over and over again. So they go, they get some hot dogs, go outside, the dog pisses. Problem instantly solved by giving this dog a little hot dog. It's insane. And then I talked around this morning asking if I could, if I have his blessing to share this story on the podcast because it was just so insane. That's nice of you. And he was like, oh, actually, can I just refer? I have 100 people in my DMs asking me about this.
53:03Jason Stewart:So when you post your episode tomorrow, I'll just link it out with a timestamp so I don't have to tell everybody the same story. So it's a little service journalism. That's awesome. Everybody wins in this case. Everybody wins in this case. We spread the good word. Ryland looks like a genius, and he gets to share with all his loved ones. I should do this on Cameo. If you have a complex story that you don't want to explain to all of your friends, just give me the rough details. Give me the Cliff's notes, and I will narrate it like your AI LLM model. That's really, that is such a great story. Also, the dog, sorry, this part is really weird.
53:42Jason Stewart:So when they first got the dog, they went to Ojai as like a little trip, brought the dog. and then the psychic was like hey the dog also said when we went to Ojai that was the first time I got to like go run and play outside I got to go oh my gosh oh my god and then I told Carolyn and she was like how does the dog know what Ojai is well if you're at look if you're an LA dog I'm sure it's on your short list of local weekend getaways well I mean like I'm a dog I still have the amigo app oh my god that is that is real that that so so all that is to say like our dog bean is like whatever five six years old you know it's pretty much like baked in like we don't really have any problems with it too much like it's a it's a good dog there's no like my dog is killing me i don't need to call cesar malan but i think it's only 60 bucks 65 bucks for a half an hour or whatever like oh yeah who cares yeah no doubt i think it's like 130 for a full hour and she'll prorate it you know if it's if you get it done in 40 43 minutes she'll charge you by the minute up it's it's i was like i was expecting you know a hollywood dog psychic to be hundreds of dollars but i think she's just busy booked and busy and and does it for the love of the game so you know i'm sure i'm sure someone his name is rylan you can send him a dm he'll give you all that's that's honestly i bet her business is so robust well this this is giving me a flashback to pickle rick when we first started singing the phrases of him and then rick suddenly hey what is what's up with your podcast guys i got all these pick me pick me rick out there in burbank pick me rick said i didn't get no discount rick still talked the whole way through the massage it didn't work out for us i'll tell you that look you got a free oil check that's not nothing he gave you a little hydration break out is when you get a massage with a happy ending that's old the new way of saying it is i got a little hydration break at the end a hydration break is it does sound more pleasant it does sound it's a little it's nicer on the ears and the eyes and the hydration inside your body it's finally broken it's coming out that rodent story is really one for the record books.
56:11It's really unbelievable.
56:12Jason Stewart:Yeah, so stay tuned. Watch this space. We're going to send our small dog, Bean, to a psychic and see what's going on inside of that twisted mind. Maybe we can make a good dog great. Well, I know Bean's been trying to quit smoking for the last 10 years, so this could be... We could finally get her off the fucking... Yeah, and she needs those camel crushes and they are hard to find. That's the worst part. That's the worst part. Europe only. okay i got a couple more things but you should go ahead no no go ahead i was gonna ask you about this dish i had at a new restaurant and i just i loved it and i just wanted to know okay you went to a new restaurant and you had a new dish well it's it's a restaurant called vesper this guy has several restaurants in london so i think he's he's a known quantity vesper it was really good his name's jackson but so is that the one over on x mouth market it is raven and dicky took me they know him and the there's like at his other restaurant dove he does like his version of the contramar tostada and it's fucking banging okay and this you know you order one this is like a maybe it's on the menu if you look it's like almost like a scallion pancake is this a spring onion pancake raw tuna and yes canta yes anchovy yes seven dollars each there's a little typo there the seven and the each needs a space in between i know vesper's listening now at this point i got the anchovy on the side because you know famously don't love anchovies.
57:38Bro, that shit fucking smacked. I loved it. I was like, wow, this is a great... I don't feel like I see the scallion pancake Chinese pizza type vibe ever reconstituted into any other format beyond sort of the one that we know.
57:55Jason Stewart:So typically an onion pancake, it's like a Korean dish. I think they might do it in Japan a little bit too. I think it is Chinese. I actually think of it as, I've heard it referred to as Chinese pizza, which could be, it probably is a little bit different, you know, technically. Yeah. But. There's different, there's different styles where like some of the, the Chinese ones are like a little more on the pastry-ish side of things. And then like the Korean is a little bit more on like a, kind of like a pan, like a rice flour batter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All that is to say, was this a crispy, flaky kind of tostada thing, or was it a little more softer and mushy in the middle?
58:32It was a little softer. Outside had a nice crisp to it, but the inside wasn't like chewy, let's say. I wouldn't describe it. But I was like, wow, this is really combining two things I like.
58:45Jason Stewart:And did you eventually add the anchovy on top? No, I gave that to Dickie as a thank you for the invite. Wait, I'm looking at this. Is it served rectangular? Maybe it is. I don't remember the shape. I mean, you just ate it. You don't know shapes? Bro, I don't look at shapes, bro. I'm about taste, fam. I'm looking at it right now. It looks like it's in little triangles. Yeah, it was a triangle. Yeah, it was a triangle. Okay, so it looks like the piece of tuna on top is not thin. It looks like it has a little thickness to it, and then the anchovy is kind of rolled up in a little rosette. Yeah, it was just...
59:21Jason Stewart:That does sound nice. Was there a sauce? i think that i think the anchovy rolled up was sitting on a little bit of sauce yes i do oh yeah i'm looking at it right now and it there's a little green is it an olive no i don't think so maybe i don't think so it looks like a green olive in between the anchovy and this is good podcasting you guys i'm so sorry but i i'm bringing it up because restaurants love to do this thing or is that a jalapeno it feels more like it's in it's a version of sort of a crispy rice spicy tuna that's what I'm you know that's what I was thinking and that's why I was like wow this is so good but it feels it does feel new to me texture wise you do love spicy tuna crispy rice who doesn't look at my skin bro this could be an old this this photo that I took that I sent you three days ago well this restaurant's only been open for a month so it's very but this is a cool idea it's a nice little riff on you know the little Spanish tapas Spanish people like green onions right who doesn't green onion great flavor i feel like that crosses borders great great flavor and speaking of the hydration break earlier i was thinking about the the evolution of powerade i saw them sponsoring i saw this powerade when you know when it first came out it was just like oh you're just like the little bitch stepbrother to gatorade just like get out of here kind of thing and they i'm kind of proud of powerade they they work their way up to the the world cup hydration break sponsor i love I love that you're acting like they're a small upstart owned by Coca-Cola.
1:00:52Jason Stewart:They were eventually acquired by Coca-Cola for their hard work. I don't know if they were acquired. I think it might have been started by. Really? I don't know for a fact, but much like Surge, the discontinued, highly caffeinated soda from our friends at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, I'm not 100 % positive, but I feel like... Damn, you're right. Okay. Powerade was developed entirely by Coca-Cola to compete with Pepsi. You're fucking, you got to sigh out, bitch. You got to sigh out, bitch. I guess I just, because it's so interesting, because Pepsi owns Gatorade and Coca-Cola owns Powerade. Do they?
1:01:32Jason Stewart:Pepsi owns Gatorade? Yes. Pepsi companies owns Gatorade. I did not. I thought Gatorade was. Which I didn't know either, but I just Googled it and it said, Powerade is developed by Coca-Cola. they created the sports drink in 1988 to compete with pepsi co's gatorade so so pepsi co the second fiddle forever cola owns the first fiddle sports drink and then the first fiddle cola company owns the second fiddle sports drink actually actually three times actually interesting actually interesting but i i'm not proud of powerade because it's a obviously it's a much worse yeah i i take it back i'm not power proud of them but i just remember them always being the little kind of redheaded stepchild of the sports drinks you laughed them off the colors are so unnatural and weird and the logo is wrong it was just like oh that's the cheap budget version of gatorade and the the poor little troubled workers over at the coca-cola corporation that stuck with it look at now look at never forget vitamin water jason a success story from the slums involving rapper 50 cent we couldn't write that that's that's that's too the script is too good um and also lastly i saw maddie's secret our friend john early's film a couple days ago support cinema okay uh and it was very funny it did a good job skewering the the bon appetit chefy miso goju jang muffin recipe culture okay wow you hate your own people i'm glad to hear that yeah i'm able to laugh at myself chris something to think about um just kidding you're really able to do that maybe too well but there there is a there's an interesting discourse going on about because so much of it of the film is about eating disorders that is the secret of maddie's secret spoiler alert but it's walking the line between you know john waters style camp eating disorder comedy thingy and real eating disorder thing where it's like i don't know when i should laugh and when i should reflect you know what i mean but either way yeah it's everyone is talking about it and i think that that is interesting alone and if you have a good sense of humor and you like food and it's just a wacky funny movie check it out i will i plan to i plan to okay and also um you can check out the burning man documentary on hbo oh yeah i did i did see that last night when i logged in using my vpn They were smart to show the only attractive people in the first three minutes of the...
1:04:04The only burners that you would have sex with? That's good. No, because I was like, you know, such a good idea.
1:04:11Jason Stewart:Like, that's exactly what a documentary should be. It's like this thing, Burning Man, a thing we all make fun of, a thing that we're all fascinated by, a thing that we're probably never going to go and find out what it's like for ourselves. and to have an HBO film crew go there for five years and make a documentary about it. Inject that into my veins. Unfortunately, it's less about topless baddies on LSD and stuff like that and guys doing unicycle tricks underneath a wooden dragon and more so about the minutiae of the executive board of Burning Man and what the future is going to hold with regulations and government lobbying and stuff.
1:04:52Oh my God, dude. No one. God, no, dude. Let me just see some tan dicks. Who cares?
1:04:59Jason Stewart:Weird fat guys, butt naked. Yeah, let me see Diplo on a bike that had 15 welders create it. You know, I don't want to see. I want to see some, you know, that's not what I want to see. I want to see some steampunk shit. That's right. Oh my God. All right. How Long Gone. Thank you for listening.
