In short

The hosts and guest chat about LA/WeHo life (including a West Hollywood water main break), celebrity viral stunts (Tinashe’s “Crash Out” sledgehammer video), nightlife “markers” and access, travel/packing habits, and Tyrell Hampton’s background in dance, modeling/acting, and spirituality.

Guest (Tyrell Hampton) background

A Philly-raised dancer/performer who attended a performing-arts high school in Philadelphia (Kappa). He’s worked as a background performer and appeared in music videos (including Britney “Avril Lavigne” era references) and has done brand work (e.g., a Häagen-Dazs campaign; also mentions “DA’s” campaign). He moved back to LA from New York for lifestyle reasons.

Key claims

Viral “crash” stunts are often real but people assume AI/fake; Tyrell says he’s rooting for Tinashe’s comeback. He describes “markers” for New York status (e.g., Lucian dinner/party bus, Supreme/palace shopping access, knowing door staff). He uses fidget spinners for overstimulation and wants a Chrome Hearts one (seen on Tumblr).

Notable examples

Tinashe “Crash Out” sledgehammer; Chloe Fineman leaving SNL; Jay-Z show backstage stories; Tyrell’s fidget spinner wish; seeing celebrities like Jay Balvin at the gym; Häagen-Dazs campaign; Lucian dinner/party bus.

0:33how long gone uh it's your faithful co-host chris black uh i have arrived in los angeles it's sunny our friends at the chateau armand have put me in a conference room um which always makes me feel like i'm i'm doing business when i'm in a hotel conference room to record okay is this the first

0:51Jason Stewart:time you've got the the podcasting suite at the chateau it's a it's a long uh last supper style table surrounded by chairs but then on the walls there's a bunch of framed ephemera which is kind of nice and it has emile haney's album cover which i texted to him because he recorded it recorded it here in front of the show these walls could talk right if these have these walls could talk uh so you you are staying in weho big surprise to no one but i want to know if the west hollywood water main breaking this morning is affecting your life you know i learned about that from our toxic group chat and I have not seen any water issues yet once we finish this show and I venture out into the West Hollywood weeds a little bit more explore I'll be able I'm going to put on my water I'm going to put on my water shoes and my my mask and snorkel and not the first time you've donned a snorkel and mask in West Hollywood no no sometimes the Sunday night party it's kind of required so yeah i was looking at like i keep it in my bag just just in case we know about sundays chris um they were saying the pipe it's like this huge pipe that was installed in like 1911 or something like it's like over 100 years old like no shit how is the infrastructure weho's most hung pipe burst super hard this morning and it's of course it's like really old yeah that's not a super surprise i did i didn't watch the news clip it wouldn't load on the plane the news clip that was shared but i'm interested to hear hear more i'd really looks you know you know whenever there's like a rainstorm in new york and they do the like scare tactic footage of like the subways underwater and yeah people get it you know it's it's that kind of vibe where it's probably not that bad but they make it look like terrifying the dawn of time is coming to an end yeah i like that i like it well it's hollywood after all jason i mean what would we be we're here for the drama yeah i'm uh i'm feeling pretty fried but i'm ready to pod bro they brought me an iced coffee you know i'm ready to rock i'm drinking an iced coffee as well and i i something feels different i was i found myself a little lighter in my in my step this morning knowing that chris was touching down in tina shays los angeles it feels a huge feel crash out tina shay honestly album promo of you hitting a luxury car with a sledgehammer is at this point where do we stop is somebody going to promote their album by committing murder like what do how far do we like how far do we go a couple peewee long way affiliates who have done just that no well for our listeners chris is explaining tina shay r &b sensation turned edm dj is is attempting to go viral online for she has a song coming out called crash out which is very you know four years ago yes she's trying to go viral by getting caught hitting a sledge you know a giant sledge hammer to like a you know a late model five series salvage title that you know the the anr that's the most easy you could they didn't do a ton to buff the little streaker marks off the windshield that says you know what part of the toe lot it was hey hey hey look if i'm being honest with you i'm surprised that tinashe's label is even doing that that's the thing knowing tinashe and her stick-to-itiveness she could have paid for it out of pocket oop or you know if she was a good toxic r &b singer like kehlani you know go into the dms and say you know if anyone wants to donate an old luxury car to me you know tinashe's thing though is that she still looks good like she looked she looked good so i feel bad talking mess on her because she is good i fuck with tinashe and i think i think tinashe could leave the asylum at any point you know what i mean i think given given the given the opportunity if she linked up with the right producer you know it's something it could i don't i don't think she's gone forever i think that tinashe could claw her way out of the asylum back onto the charts two years ago with tinashe is nasty uh-huh you need to have one you know in like tennis you got to win by two and like other things like that she's got her nasty and then if crash out doesn't propel her out of the kia asylum she's got to go back to square one and you know create a new bop sensation she could you know she could join make the rules team she could join a mixed race k-pop group i'm putting it out there something something to think about old bitches winning cat's eye i'm saying that's have you ever watched cat's eye and said i wish these bitches were 34 yeah i'm not i'm saying that these labels are running out of ideas you know what i mean if you ain't got a guitar they don't know what to do anymore might as well getting an old you know getting an old old girl girl group together yeah i've had worse ideas i feel like the when you're trying to orchestrate the viral moment of you doing a britney or whatever you know or like that uh that guy who had some mental issues and was trying to attack a waymo car like all we do is watch videos of people crashing out in public it's very easy we're all masters of knowing if this is fake or fabricated or not and it just it just reeks of a fake stunt no it's true well that was thrown together by the homie the problem is and this affects me in my personal and work life everybody just thinks everything is fake or ai so it's like if even if even if like tinashe clearly bought this car and hit it with a sledgehammer with a video crew that costs money like that's real you know it's not it's not a trump video of him blowing up iran looking like a superhero like i know it's real do you think she did a running gun do you think or they think they pulled permies i don't think you can't i mean mate they i don't know it depends man i feel like i feel like tinashe is she too much of a baddie to pull a permit that's what i'm that's what i'm thinking that's what i'm hoping i think that's what i'm hoping i'm hoping tinashe is too bad yeah if i'm tinashe and and i get lit lit up officers officers i think we can kind of come to an understanding here right right and they're gonna be is that you tina yeah you do a tiktok for my niece yeah tinashe feels like a titty falls out or a tiktok happens and and she's she's good officers you guys ever been to air one right around the corner i think a couple smoothies would make this thing go away she's going back to el segundo window no cuffs no problem she's get some pasta chips it's fine just do it she's get whatever you guys want whatever you want is fine no i don't have a smoothie on the menu don't ask again i bet you she did at one point she could have i mean they're handing those things out like the problem was it was it was the nasty smoothie and sales were very bad they're like we really i know your single is called nasty is there any other names that we could possibly any other instead of crash out we have to immediately scrap all of it do a song called yummy that's the one-two punch yeah and guess what we're flying outside of the akila asylum we're breathing that that rarefied air good air that good shit uh yeah i'm um i'm i'm happy to see her make any sort of return i'm rooting for her chloe fineman uh is leaving snl and you know i've seen people tweeting like there's only four women left lauren get to work and it's like you know what calm the fuck down this got announced 30 seconds ago get your fuck re-fucking-lax vulture like come on to work like it's not it's not that serious he's there's they're gonna hire women they

mean like i need three offense three defense you know i need a goalie in the center or whatever that's the way he's thinking when he's trying to fill in holes you know not not necessarily hair colors because that's what wigs are for of course of course yeah you're famously well versed a lot of wigs on snl i've noticed they do they do a lot of wigs yeah they'd be putting sarah sherman's got glue over her head all the time they put so many wigs on her i feel bad for her i don't even know what there might be some special shampoo yeah we don't we don't in the head sticky um yeah i'm gonna go check for water i'm gonna pray for chloe that that she gets some luckily luckily the thing is when you blast off like that from snl you can literally make plenty of money to live a luxurious lifestyle

You have to get the plain. You just got to get the plain Jane. You know, you can't. I get it. I get it. Now, do you use a duffel bag because you're so strong? I do not. I have book bag purse. Wait, are those two different things or is that one thing? Like a mini Prada backpack?

15:40Jason Stewart:Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, not a mini. But it is a Prada backpack. I have a book bag. Okay. And a Kaz that has like, you know, my compartments, you know. Okay, sure, sure. The chargers, the wires, the camera stuff, the computer, the passport, all that stuff. Okay. Peptides, all the stuff. And then I have my purse with, you know, my stuff that's like immediate to me. Like fidget spinner, my like phones, my headphones. Okay. I always have a fidget on me. Do you only have one spinner or do you have one in every room? I have them in every bag. Honestly, Tyrell, I love fidget spinners and this has inspired me to maybe bring mine.

16:20Remember when I had one, Jason? I had a red one for a little while. I remember your fidget era. You have to get ones that light up. Okay. Where are you purchasing the fidget? Amazon. Okay, but are you collecting Pog style or you just take whatever? I just, no, I look up specific ones because I have like light up ones for the club that get really crazy. And like when I get overstimulated or like if I'm like, I just need a second.

16:41Jason Stewart:Does spinning a light up fidget spinner in the club get you a man? I wouldn't know. So, no. Okay. But I just need it for my own sanity. There's one fidget spinner that I want that everyone knows that it's on my list. is this your amazon wishlist for your daddies or is this something different yeah okay okay okay but no one can get it but like i've asked let me and jason change your life send me the link you know what i'm saying let me see what i can do it's the chrome hearts fidget spinner and i'm out okay yeah that's gonna be i've i have asked frankie bell herself i've asked her dad himself i've asked jesse joe herself i've asked the mom i was gonna say this is all that i want where is it i see the stapler i've been to the office like so you went up to the owners of chrome hearts and said look you guys are doing a great job lately but fantastic give me a fucking fit stop everyone stop what you're doing stop printing money and all that i please all that i need in my life is a spinner and if i have a chrome one i just wouldn't you know let that go you know tyrell in all honesty i can put some of my reseller friends on this and they will find it for you if you're willing to pay And I know you got the money.

17:50I will not. I will only be gifted and or, you know, be surprised.

17:56Jason Stewart:Okay. Well, do you have somebody that Chris can send the invoice to? Is there... No. There's no sugar daddy has been acquired. It's listeners. What are you willing to do for a Chromeheart fidget spinner? That's the real question. Say thank you. Please and thank you. No. I'm willing to say thank you. You're going to have to spin on it, bitch. Yeah, there's a trade. It's a little rusty. So I don't know if I can do that, honestly. But I can spin my fidget for sure. There's somebody that wants that. There's somebody that wants that. And I will send video footage of me accepting said gift and playing with said gift.

18:30Make sure your feet are in that, too, just in case. So, no, Tyrell, let me ask you, though. Since you've done so much research, you've gone to the Stark family. Do we know what the going rate is for the Chrome? Do we know how much it costs?

18:44Jason Stewart:What's the blue book on this one? Not worried about this fidget spinner. that they were just like, they were like asking each other. Did we make this? Like we don't know. Yeah.

25:14Jason Stewart:Is she with you? She's wandering on the streets all alone. That's the whole video. Stumbles into a club. And then I'm the door person who takes her$5. How do you get these jobs? Hollywood, bitch. I'm really tall. I was always cast as the tall guy. Were you tall guy number one? Or were you tall guy number two? Or were you just tall guy? It depends on how big the production was. Well, I'm with you. Were you like tall guy? You know, you should really check that back. I was number one on both of those videos that I'm telling you. But you weren't just tall guy. You were just tall guy number one. So let's talk about the real question.

25:53Because there's tall guy and there's tall guy number one. Don't call sheetsplain me. Yeah, don't try it. Well, that's actually... YOLO. So what videos were you in as a... Were you a friend of the artist and they put you in as a fun gag? No, I was broke. I was broken and someone was like, do you want to be in this video? honestly i'm not doing anything it was i'm in an omar paulo video okay that's not that i know what happened in that pride month be careful no we're talking about for like music videos though we're talking about music listen i'm trying to remember his name jay balvin i'm in three music videos do you okay i said are there any straight guys that ask you me in their video oh what do you think about jay balvin's hair it's all fucked up isn't it oh my god no i'm not gonna cancel i can't

26:39Jason Stewart:I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. How are you going to get canceled, bro? Just an association. That's how it works these days. That's true. Well, too late now. That's how Dave Balvin, I think it's his wife. She's great. She's awesome. She loves me. I just saw he was in the news recently because one of his shoes broke at the Jay-Z concert. Oh, that sucks. Is that what happened? My guy needs a hit. Why didn't Little Mama come out? I'm just really disappointed. That would have been actually cool. That would have been cool. That's the casting that I'm like, I was just waiting for her to just, I wanted that for myself.

27:10Jason Stewart:I think it sounds like a funny idea at first, but then you worry about what little mama is actually going to do when it's her time to go up on stage. Like she's going to do what it's been here. She's going to just perform. She's a performer. We don't know what her mental state is in 2026. Yeah. Well, you can't speak. You can't speak for little mama. I can. Tyrell. How, why can you speak for little mama? You've never seen her and I in the same place. That's all I got to say. That's right. So I honestly don't know. If you're going to be a Batman for someone, you chose little mama it's not a choice it's bestowed upon me yeah yeah like tall guy number one he's just given you a crown okay jay jay bolvin i see him at the gym a lot what gym do you go to equinox well when i used to go to equinox and so he was there all the time i've never been there and i knew i knew jay i was like jay bolvin's a huge artist you know i see him in there he's wearing all the supreme he's got the jordans on he's getting it in like oh period he's global but then i go outside and i'm like this guy's got the fucking double r with the driver and he brings the Birkin, the big man Birkin.

28:11Oh, shit.

28:12Jason Stewart:He's like a male Carol G. Like, he's so big. I sort of didn't know that, so I was very impressed by his holdings. I need to sign it immediately. What is it? It's a tourist. Oh, he's just a sweet boy. He's just sweet? Sure, okay. He's just a sweet boy. Tauruses are just sweet. So, Ty, did you go to any of the Jay-Z shows? Well, nor. Because you were already in LA. Yeah. which no one really knows i wasn't gonna publicly say that i moved why you want to work you want to work as a local you want to make less money i'm just guessing by the background the background of your house it's giving not it's not giving manhattan i know you're paid but like yeah you ain't that paid you ain't got a staircase you ain't got a staircase in your house in new york y 'all don't know what i had so let's let's start there but yeah i just was like this is just my little moment to be like new york is work and la is just home well i feel like this is more of your social circle is in in in la no my best friend is in new york all my best friends in new york no shade to all my best friends are in la but my of course my one friend jordan is like that's my home base she's in new york okay and do you feel like does she feel abandoned by you or did you guys talk it through we talked it through we talk every day i feel like she does probably feel a little abandoned i'm sure you have a room for you have a room for jordan in your house i don't okay and now we've talked about this a little bit but you were new york had just worn you down you were like you know what i need the sun i need the palm trees i need my little baby mama bends to push to air one yes yes we've we've just done it all like we've done it all you know when like you're like growing up in new york and kind of like there's kind of these things that you have to they're markers that you have to surpass in order in order for you to feel like okay boom like i did that I surpassed my Lucian marker, whatever, what the name, surpassed that marker.

30:01When I was 21, I had my 21st birthday dinner there. I was like, we're going to have dinner, Lucian. Everyone's going to come, had a party bus outside. Like that, we did that. We did that marker. Very My Sweet 16 vibe. Okay, you're saying your marker for New York City was having 20 bitches at Lucian for burnt steak? I'm impressed. No, it was like the vibes to be like, I felt like a bad bitch. No, you did.

30:23Jason Stewart:And you gave everyone there a Birkin, right? No, Nora. They all had admission to the party bus that my mom bought for me. Each one of them got a mark by mark. It was a nice piece. Nora. What is the... Okay, that was 20. How old are you now? I'm 28. So we've had so many markers since then. Now I get my Supreme plug. That was another marker. Okay, sure. Of course. That was a good one. Are we saying discount? Are we saying name on the bag? You pick it up. You know, like things... things are easy. Things are easy. You just send the picture of what you want. But they have a Supreme in LA too, you know?

31:01And you know, still, we text that number and we're like, that's what mama wants. We have our palace little discount sometimes, you know? Because I get my O's. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah.

31:13Jason Stewart:Okay, Supreme or palace, better trade? What say you? Say what? Who has better trade? Supreme store or palace store? What? I don't get trade. palace i i just i actually like no no no that's not what he's saying oh i i think no he's saying how many dl employees at the skate shop i would say that there are more probably at supreme because i would say unbeknownst to most the office's majority i would say women gay and women so and i feel like palace like i just like it because it is just straight men like they you walk in there and they're just they don't look they don't bat an eye you're just like i just feel like you guys hate me and i want more of it so sure i walk in there and i feel at home but you want some regular dick some people that are just straight as a motherfucker yeah just guys breaking down boxes all day yeah exactly oh that's a nice uh box cutter you have there it'd be a shame if you used it on me you guys are going to jail i swear what is the tyrant what are some what are some other new york markers because these are actually pretty good i'm pretty into this so far like what was another marker did you live in manhattan i did live in manhattan i lived in little italy and i lived in chinatown okay wouldn't it be cool if the city bikes had mileage like delta and you could get like you can be a million miler oh y 'all wouldn't even know mom donnie gives you a token i think he deserved to get me something i deserve the key to the city as much that do i put on i really do yeah the markers i would say i i mean knowing the door guy at one oak used to be a situation it was definitely of course of course a big marker to be like okay but but to be fit to but to be fair when you would show up at one oak i'm sure you were flanked by baddies so that did help your case namaste just kept letting me and hayley in everywhere we went i mean i feel like i'm a king of the town this is this is so crazy i was just with i don't know they just keep opening the doors you know like that's a marker where i'm like okay that's a no that's a big mark we getting into the club jason and i all have our versions of this too it's just oh yeah it's just 15 20 years before so the words are different you know the word yeah we know it we know the door person back when going people went to the club to have sex and not like have a high definition video of them having the best night ever no shade to your trade no period period now there's different different trade meeting now there's reels that's fun okay so you so you're saying that in in seven whatever eight short years my mercer plug i could where you could sit in the lobby that's nice that's big that's actually a big one that's a big one that's nothing to sneeze at a bitch can sit in the lobby and sit and like not be monitored and be like i'm gonna steal like the couch like you know because i knew i knew you were i knew you were part of the i knew you were part of watch the throne but i didn't know how deeply involved you were you know like i've had my markers so i'm like i can go back and i'm chilling i'm fine i like

But like, Jason, when do you work out? Do you work out? Yeah, I work out like around 10 a.m., 11 a.m. See, no. Yeah, I was like, I'm like 7, 8. Yeah, I am too. I'm 7, 8. I mean, I adjust the time. I adjust the time though sometimes because of the, like I go to the Equinox and Tribeca. So it's very busy before work because it's like a work crowd. Yeah, 10 a.m., 11 a.m., the gym's empty. Yeah. The gym, at the gym, I would say before my workouts, like the training, I would tend to do that earlier.

48:12So then I could like swim during that 10 to 11. Did you grow up swimming or did you find this as an adult? I started swimming because I was watching Scandal and she was swimming. So I was like, I can't swim. That's the wildest answer to that question.

48:25Jason Stewart:I can't wait to tell my wife that she watched Scandal during COVID. So great show. Best show ever. Amazing show. An out of time. Amazing show. Obsessed with that. That's my problem. Did you ever play sports or did you just dance? I did track and I tried the soccer. I didn't do any of the other sports. You have a soccer build, actually. I did like soccer and I played basketball. I tried stuff. It just was like, I just wanted to be with the girls. and none of the boys were just, they want to talk about what I love. When did you come out? I never came out. I just remember telling, when I moved to New York, I remember wanting to complain about a boy and then my mom being like, oh, how's your friend?

49:07And I was like, what friend? And she was like, you know that guy you were seeing in high school? And I was just like, you mean to tell me you knew I had a man all of high school? Because I had a boyfriend all of high school, but he would obviously like walk me to the car or like to practice. And my mom would like be there and I'd be like, oh, that's my friend. my boy chilling bro your mom is your mom's like 33 she knew what was going on like but i'm like all this time you didn't want to be like what's going on with y 'all like we could have gapped

49:32Jason Stewart:about it your mom said that gay shit's none of my business have fun with your little friend she said that shit is her mom and she's like i looked up i looked up i looked up in the cron and there was none of that in there so i'm gonna just you could do your thing that's okay so you had a boyfriend you had a boyfriend in high school i did i met him freshman year and then we started dating in sophomore year. What did he, what was his thing? What was his discipline? He was in theater. Do you guys still keep in touch? No, but he, I'm not going to out. Is he straight now? No, no, no. I was going to say like, he's modeled recently for something that I was like, Oh, Oh, you're saying, so he's still bad is what you're saying.

50:08No, I know. I mean, um, what was it? Weight watchers? I'm saying, is he, I'm saying, what do you mean? I'm saying if he modeled for Sky Rizzy, the thing that he modeled for was like a bit cringe. Oh, okay. Well, hey, a job's a job.

50:20Jason Stewart:You know that. I'm happy. It is what it is. Hey, Tyrell, don't act like everything you shoot on Instagram. Don't lie to me. I know photographers. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. I know photographers. Okay. I know how this works. Okay. Have we done airlines or pharmaceuticals yet? Airlines or pharmaceuticals? Have you shot anything for automobiles, airlines? Oh, oh, oh. Pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals, nor airlines. Yes. Really? Yeah, like I think it was some lounge. I think Chase made a lounge. Oh yeah, the Chase Sapphire lounge, of course. Did you hear about Chase? He made a lounge.

50:58Jason Stewart:There was those lounges. Yeah, I've been around. But you do work a lot. Well, I was asking because those are famously big money gigs, you know, that we kind of keep. Well, you know, Chanel don't pay for it, so. No, it doesn't. Well, you know, Tyrell, I've told you this story before. I think I've told it to Jason, but you and I were often on the same flight together. Terrell and I would often be on the New York to LA blue eye, Jason. The baddie route. Yeah. And we know each other. We would clock each other no talking because we knew it was too early to talk. And there was a level of respect. I got nothing to say to you at 520 a.m., brother.

51:36Yeah. I was like, you know what? There's like a little like intimidating because you're like so dressed up, I would say. and I just feel like a slug because I'm like, I usually have a mask on. I have like headphones on, hoodie. I look like I'm going to school, like my book bag.

51:51Jason Stewart:You're dressed like Northwest at the fucking airport. You know what I mean? So I'm just like, he's like Louis Vuitton down, like probably wearing this like flannel. I'm wearing a shirt. I'm wearing a shirt. He'll wear a trench coat in the winter as well. I'm like, I... You look like a bad... You're in a mad happy hoodie and some slides. You're a baddie. That's like baddie. Terminal four gag. yeah i'm just going to like i mean i wish he was like i am gia but you know i sadly i'm not gia and this ain't skims you can see the little thong poking out in the back it's all good i'm not to start like i don't know i'm trying to go completely like i just i just think it was like no one well but aren't you on a journey to find a man what are we how are we going to find some like delta one trade if we're all covered up good great question and i've thought about this i've thought about this okay i have thought about this i don't put the mask on until a week why do you put them out why do you put the mask on you're not gonna get sick because i sleep like like with my oh so i'd rather just like cover like whatever was happening if i slobber that's actually that's actually very courteous to your fellow travelers very smart but i'm like i i have thought about me i'm like is my man in the airport and one time this man that i was seeing was doing like the like he was leaving and I was going and I had on my like cute Supreme hoodie but I was just like I look too fucking trade right now to even like give the kind of woman that I want to be for the man so I have to just like commit to the bit and like be like I'm just all you just you just can't look at me like I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and I'm like we need to make sure I'm maybe you got to help me like bitch stress honestly like we're having this call and the bitch is the stress I I have shirts in the back.

53:32I'm freaking out. Sorry to change the subject right now. Why don't you just wear a suit and a shirt? I mean, what are you trying to do? You guys both know that. As a man, it's not that easy. I disagree. I will say, as a gay man, it's even harder. Because I'm gabbing with the girls. My friends are getting custom looks. And so I'm like, I need to show... This is a big wedding. I feel like this is not going to come out tomorrow. So, like, I can say who's... Yeah, so I'm like, he's expecting her bitches to pull through. I sadly am bitches, so I have to pull through. And right now, I'm a little stressed.

54:12Jason Stewart:Okay. Well, are you doing Balenci or what? Well, you know, because I'm last minute, I just started shopping yesterday because as Chris saw me, I was in London going through tumultuous X-Men situations. So I only started this process yesterday and it's just been a process. Well, let me make some suggestions. Don't try to express yourself. Just put on the thing that looks the best and makes you feel the best. No, you don't. This is the problem. Mama is single. But what are you trying to attract, though? Do you want to attract a guy? I mean, what if you find a guy who's into the same thing as you?

54:48Hell no, you shouldn't be. You don't want a British guy that's an alcoholic. That's the only people who are going to be there. That sounds fun. Okay, you want a British alcoholic, they got him. I don't know about British alcoholics, but I'm looking for someone just fun. It's fun out there. I'm boring. I mean, I think this will be a fun nuptial, of course, but I do think that this could be a situation where maybe standing out is the wrong thing. Maybe just looking great is the right thing. No, no, no, no, no, no. But you guys are reading it all wrong. The thing is to even look simple, chic, cute is quite hard because it's fit.

55:23It's silhouette. We deal with the same problems. We're just not gay. We don't talk about it. We just do it.

55:28Jason Stewart:Do you have time to get anything tailored? Do you have time to get anything tailored? Well, after I have more meetings and calls after this, because mom is a busy girl. And then once all that's said and done, I'm going to run to Rodeo and I'm going to run to the ending soon. I'm going to run to all the shops and we're going to see what's getting. Where are you going to go to first? What feels like the one? I have an appointment at this vintage shop called Paperback Princess. Period. I didn't know there was an ending soon in LA. Yeah, girl. Where is it? search oh you're not in those markers like you should where is it should i give it a hug i don't know it's a public store i can google it i'm just asking you why are you asking me he's new to the city like don't make him explain i just know the address i don't know where it is in the world or on the map he says hey g wagon take me take me there no he's got the gla 250 jason don't do that no i don't know what these these alphabets are lgbtqia plus always um the I said G-Wagon, he said the entry-level Mercedes.

56:30Jason Stewart:Oh, he's being shady. No, I'm not. If you want to really count shade, we can also say that I also did a Mercedes deal, so I could do whatever I want. Period. Okay, well, what kind of car do you have, then? We can bleep it. I have a BMW. Interesting. After all that. I just think, I think, look, I want it to start off small. It's my first car. I've never driven before. I just got my license, like, two months ago. No, that's smart. That's honestly responsible. You got a three series? It's a five series. Not that small. A five series is good. I like a five series. That's better than most of your peers.

57:03I think that you need to just... Well, you know. I think you're going to be... You're thinking too much. I think you just need to chill out. And when it finds you, it'll find you. I just have today because I want to work out tomorrow. So I'm just like, I need to find it today. The type A in me is I'm like, we're going to find the outfit today. We're going to do all the things. So tomorrow I can chill and have a drink. Jason, luckily for Tyra, he's a sample size. So it's going to be, he's a small or medium. Things are never going to be too small.

57:30Jason Stewart:They can always be taken in to fit your top body. Yeah. I was at Gucci trying on this shirt for maybe an hour. And then I called Jordan and she was like, no. And I was literally like in there pinned up. And I was like, look, and I made something. And Jordan was like, you look like a clown. Like you're giving costume. Like, no, we're not giving like cute, sexy, chic. She also was like, simplify. Yeah, I mean, are you trying to dress for all the girls at this wedding? Are you trying to dress for your future husband? Trying to get a man. Okay, then don't wear some like... Yeah, I'm trying to get a man, but I'm also trying to gag the girls and also want to gag the girls.

58:06Don't do both. Don't do both. Fuck the girls. Fuck the girls. They already like you.

58:09Jason Stewart:You don't need them. Your husband's not going to want to see you in some like Vivian Westwood couture fluffy thing. I didn't even think about that, but mama should go there. Boom. they close at seven i'll be there you're taking the exact opposite of all of our advice i'll be there i like to see all my options and be like you know i would i would like to i wish you would have gotten in touch with me earlier i could have i would have liked to have a hand in this i would like to take you somewhere get you a classic like a drake sid mashburn nice time would have had a rolling rack set up for you at the hotel oh period y 'all don't even know what was happening this morning i was literally about to go to levecner or levecra or some some suit shop like two hours away and the guy was like i was like oh my gosh like do you have like availability he's like yeah like come through and i'm like okay like where are you he's like to me the address i'm like he's like you can you could take public transport you take the metro i said oh girl mama got it no i think you should explore i think it would be cool for you to explore some classic you know get like a martin greenfield suit in new york like some classic i don't know it's like real classic men shit.

59:15I was going to go to Ralph Lauren. Yeah, we can do that. Like, what is it? Ralph Supply? What's it called? Double RL. They don't really do suiting, though, so you don't want to go there. You want to go to the regular Ralph. That was in my itinerary. You could do a purple. I think you could. No, no, no. Because I don't want leather, so it's hot. It's not leather. What's leather? Double R? They have, like, leather pants and, like, cowboy vibes. That's not what I'm trying to give. No, that's what I'm trying to tell you. You go to the regular Ralph store. No, I'm not doing

59:43Jason Stewart:on there no why not no no it's not expensive enough you idiot no it's not that it's just like i and no shade because like love you guys like if you're listening i would like we could we could rough max but that's just not what i'm trying to give tomorrow no if you showed up if you showed up to this wedding in a navy blue ralph tuxedo you're shutting it down you're number one if i mean like that's if i find the one like the thing is i'm just not like i don't feel like trying on like a bunch of the problem is you're going to show up with a tabby and ruin the whole thing i've never had a tabby that marker i've never i've never don't do some don't do all right next time you need something like let's talk next time i want to get you i i'll like i have like a cute tree shirt like i'm not saying you i'm not saying you won't look good you will look good you have good taste i'm not worried about you but i just think when it comes to suiting when a turnt up gay guy wears a very traditional suit i'm turned up it's the best it's the best combo because then no yeah well there's two days there's tomorrow and then there's yeah so yeah two events i'm like okay, Friday we're going to chill, Max, and then Saturday we have to really give it to the girls.

1:00:46You got rehearsal boots tomorrow. Yes. But Saturday I got to give tux down. I'm sat on that ass for hours. I got to make sure that the ass is sat. Do you have a tuxedo in your arsenal? Yeah, so many. But it's just not, you know... You want something new. I understand. I understand. My first wedding. I'm like... Oh, this is your first wedding ever? Yeah. I'm trying to get married too. I want to catch the bouquet. Bitches watch out. Wait, this is the first wedding you've ever been to? Yeah, well, Muslims, you don't really, like, get married. They don't really make, like, spectacles out of that much.

1:01:19At least in Philippines, they don't.

1:01:21Jason Stewart:Well, I mean, this is a good marker for your success, where the first wedding you're attending is a celebrity one. You said it, not me. Yeah, I want to talk about the markers. You keep mentioning markers. Who instilled this marker talk into you? Probably my mom. like you just there's certain things that you have to cross to like you know feel fulfilled okay you know okay how many markers do you hit a day i mean there's new ones pop up all the time like now my marker today is to find find an outfit what's the difference between a marker and a to-do list item to do this is like to me it's already there a marker is like it can pop up like say we're like i'm we're we're doing this now all of a sudden like we you're like okay we're gonna go up to eat that's now a marker that i'm like okay now i gotta we gotta go eat now okay we're marker maxing like something like it's an additional thing that's now it's like added to the to-do but it's like more okay i understand do like it'll like it'll like i don't understand what you mean legitimize okay so all right okay how many times a day are you going to air one so far i don't go there quite often honestly i order my water and i just keep it pushing you're getting it you're you're you're ordering air one water delivery yes okay yes no no no shade i mean that's not above i'm not above or below that i'm just trying to clear it i haven't gone in a while only because i spend so much time doing you get lost in the city like yesterday i did maybe what is it two and a half workouts and then i was looking for suits and then i had to go to a friend's event and then I didn't even have time to shower.

1:03:01So then I end up going to this event looking like, you know, a baggy hoodie and cut off Amelia Gray sweatpants from like, you know, in my Tweety Bird palace Uggs. I was not prepared to talk and be seen.

1:03:19Jason Stewart:But that's like low-key LA party, like little kind of... But no, we were at Sunset Tower. The girls are in these wedding dresses and I'm pulling up in like, you know, I was like, okay, I guess we're doing it. Everyone's like, you look so cool. I'm like, you guys think I'm doing this on purpose, but I would have come here and tried to find a husband. Like, this is not what the point was. I would have done something. All right, so are you legitimately looking to settle down? Yes, mom's done. You're 28. Like, let's, I mean. Okay. Oh, I forgot. Gay guys, you're open anyway. It doesn't matter. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1:03:52Nope. You're trad. Yes, I want to be Nara Smith. I am home with the kids, minding my business. I do not want to be outside. My man is not going to be outside. I want my man to go to work and then take me to go eat. And then we're going to go home and watch Love Island. I don't want. So you don't want like a circuit. You don't want a basement sunrise gay. No. Like a guy who works on Wall Street. Not even that. I look like a FedEx worker. Oh, okay. I see what your little freak ass is into. Okay.

1:04:19Jason Stewart:FedEx needs the family inheritance though. I feel like you have a certain standard of living that FedEx ain't going to cut. He makes the money. He makes the money. No, no. well i'm not spinning it but like i mean fedex in the sense of like just like visually like i i like that type of man like a man like do you feel like you know build something like in terms of like searching for things online do you feel like you might have too many filters set to where results found of these dudes that you're looking for it's going to be you know close to zero no because I've been I'm actually quite wise to be h so like I can say that what I used to look for when I was doing my markers in New York is not what I'm looking for now I'm looking for like you know an actual human being with like a personality I'm like I want someone funny I want someone who's like close to their family has a good work ethic confident like these these things rather than me being like I want someone like a skateboard and like I want someone who's outside and he got to get me in the club.

1:05:17Well, I know, but if you, the guy at Lucien.

1:05:19Jason Stewart:You, you, you have a lot of values that you are looking for in a partner, but also if you want a guy who's going to pay for the house in Montecito, get you a new G-Wagon. Oh, hi. You know, take you out to Ruth Chris, wherever you want to go. Oh, screaming. And also look like a FedEx worker. Hell yeah. I don't, that guy doesn't exist. To you. Jason, I think, I think honestly, Tyrell, honestly, I think your best bet is some sort of agent. is the reality a wme caa guy i've been in that office if i my thing is if i'm not turning head then like yeah because i've been in the office and if no one's approaching me i must not be doing would you settle for a straight guy cheating on his wife no i would rather okay like live my life have you settled on that before you can be honest no what about girlfriend no wow i would you could have had tyrell's an honest man like i would rather that i'm like that's a straight man i i want a man like i'm like you are just like with your homies you don't give a fuck about what i'm doing i'm with my my girls okay you'll be in the in the living room playing watching the game but the boys like worry about what i'm okay you bring over the wing platter and a 12 pack and then you're back in the kitchen having the leachies with the ladies you go spritz hell yes that is that is my dream mind my business you mind your business not a bad life i i kind of i see you want a guy to pay for everything and not talk to you i know you have to talk to me i just think i think there's a compromise obviously in all such in all relationships but i do think that i know that you're exaggerating you know for fun i'm gonna say no i'm gonna say but my my dream scenario is probably just a man who's just like living his life and then like okay perfect friday i'm living my life doing whatever i'm doing my man's also living his life dream he's doing and then i'm like okay i'm going to this he's like oh my gosh i'm friends with that person too i'm gonna i'll see you there like i just want to be able to be like we can meet in the middle okay somewhere so like okay so your man your man's your man's at pedro's new sports bar putting down a couple pints are you thinking and then it's like oh my god and then oh my god i actually know this girl too and her lip gloss is amazing i'll see you there is it is it hotter if you guys live together but don't go to the party together you go separately and meet there he's coming from the office jason so that's yeah he'll have to be there oh they were watching the game the other day and what was it yesterday yesterday yeah yesterday yesterday there was some fine men in there i said oh y 'all got nice watches i was like oh y 'all watching the game okay now you sound like you're trying to rob people just calm down i couldn't even but i was just like okay these men got money like i came in there looking like a scrub if i would have known this i would have put on my my nice jeans okay sure around serving drinks you know of course you fellas another refill you know what i mean like any anybody want to cheese it
