957. - Chris & Jason

[00:00] All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place. All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcasts [00:30] on YouTube. How long gone? It is Chris Black, joined by my illustrious co-host, Jason Stewart. I am mercifully back in Money Making Manhattan, just in time for [00:59] World Cup traffic and Knicks fever and 90-degree weather. It feels good. Summer is here, Jason. I can't wait for you to arrive. Yeah, I'm stoked. It looks like it's going to rain every day. I'm there just a little bit, though, and probably at chill times where it doesn't matter. But, you know, congrats on being out. Escape from the Hamptons. I want to know, you know, I've only Hamptons-ed one time to play like a real... [01:23] vampire weekend ass music festival i think my uh my lodging was a yurt you know stuff like that was happening damn bro talk about hip talk about hipster music don't get me started on yurt i know the foxes were fleeting and um i think maybe m.i.a or grimes before who knows what it was it was a special time but i remember that experience you know take a take a train sure you know drink some

[01:53] low you know fall asleep on the way back home hang out in a yurt [01:58] You know, it was a low brow, low dollar sign. It was a no dollar sign experience in the Hamptons. I don't think you can do that anymore, can you? Not from what I saw, but I have a full look. The Hamptons, for my, because I've only been there a couple times. Like, I've been there off season once and maybe a couple other times for like photo shoots and shit. I've never like really been there. Mm-hmm. [02:19] It's just, I don't think it's for me. It's beautiful. Everything is fucking really nice, but it really is a gathering of people that I just don't fully understand. I mean, during the week, it was awesome because there's nobody around. So it's a classic. It's a classic. You go Monday through Thursday, you're at Money. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it's just like every dork you've ever met with a baby crying in a restaurant. Old, rich guys. I saw the guy in the gym with the handlebar mustache and the ice stand with Israel Redbubble tea. [02:49] It's just a crazy mix of people because you have to be so rich to really enjoy it. I think there's no separation of rich people. Do you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you need a little divider where it's like, all right, these are the cool ones. These are the bad ones. These are the ones that I don't ever want to see again. But when you put them all in one place and it's $30 for a bushel of berries, I don't know how that – Okay, well, where have all the cool, rich Jewish people gone? [03:19] are they like when did they stop going to the ham like when did the hamptons become no no i'm sure they're there i think i know i'm sure those people are there i'm just saying i think that when you are out in at like a bakery you don't even getting your 12 cortado and it's like four girls in brandy melville that look like they want to kill you getting their third matcha of the day it's sort of like i don't know if this is for me i think all these people are behind their hedges where they belong i think that's the whole lure of the hampton that's what i do think is interesting

[03:49] it's like a multi-million dollar house place like there's a few hotels but no one talks it like that's not we have ascended above hotel living and this is more secluded, more segregated more hedge-like [04:04] But I mean, you also don't really eat at, you know, there's a few restaurants, like there's a place called Doubles everybody likes. There's Chris's that I mentioned there, you know, whatever there's, there's places, but it's more like I went to this place and got a $40. [04:17] pre-packaged lasagna you know it's it's places that like i told you they they trick you into thinking it's some sort of farm stand you go inside the doors it's just d and de luca but less cool once you once you once you get inside so you know it's it was fine it was beautiful we had great weather and the pool was great i mean there's nothing to complain about i just didn't i guess i wasn't totally familiar with its game okay why when you said the the group of brandy [04:47] scowl was was was it like you're a tatted up old guy what you know what what about you i think it's just i think it's anyone i think it's kind of any i think it's kind of i think the vibe is sort of like you suck unless i know you from private school in the upper east side you know what i mean it's kind of the vibe just any anyone who's not someone that they already are friends with or a famous person that they want to hang out with anyone else exactly exactly is the enemy if you can't get

[05:17] There's a very charming – I had been here before, I realized, a place called Provisions, which is like the old health food store in Sag Harbor. That warmed my heart. That would have been a place Jason loved. Full menu in the back, cafe, smoothies, the whole thing, full grocery store, full apothecary. It better be good if the place is just called Provisions because, you know, how that peeves me down. Well, it's got an amazing logo spelled out of fruits and vegetables. I should have gotten you the hat, actually. The logo is unbelievable. [05:47] I've had 90s style health food markets on the brain ever since I was in Utah. We found a great one. [05:56] and you know i just love that i love the the camaraderie and the ecosystem of a bunch of people working there like they're all kind of on the fringe totally of society but they're holding it together you got the maha moms blending in with the queer you know blue hairs and everyone in between it's true it's true it's a great equalizer cross-section of the world we should do a ranking because i remember going to one in anchorage alaska that blew my fucking mind [06:26] Atlanta health food store. The one in Palm Springs is amazing. I'm blanking on the name of it. But yeah, you're right, actually. That's a great test of a city. If you hit the local health food store and it's right, it does give you a good feeling. You want to sort of take a look under the hood of the town freaks, the people who have the colloidal silver on subscription.

[06:56] Sea moss ranch. That yogurt, I don't even know what it's made from, actually. It's so new. It's so probiotic. I couldn't even tell you if it's from sheep, goat, or... It's actually... We've transcended. The yogurt creates itself. It's sort of like a black hole. It's a white hole. It's a white hole. Yeah, there's plenty of white holes in the Hamptons. One of Chris's filters... [07:17] That one never gets unchecked. I'm happy to be backed off. I felt like I was out of it. Because I went to, I don't know, I was just out of town for like three weeks, I feel like. And to come back on a beautiful day. And the traffic, honestly, the World Cup traffic, a lot of warnings on the way here wasn't that bad. Wasn't that bad. But I did something you would be proud of. First time in my life, I dropped someone off at the airport. [07:39] in New York City. That's crazy. That's something that you would only do for... [07:44] your in-laws yeah no you don't do that no you wouldn't do that for your parents you would you gotta do that for wife's parents yeah literally literally but it was a it was a pretty seamless all right here's the uber code pops all right peace saturday afternoon at terminal b for air canada pretty mellow i gotta say it was a seamless experience it was there was no honking there was no yelling it was it was better than most airport drop-offs i've been on somebody who [08:07] has never dropped anyone off at JFK, right? That's your first time? This is LaGuardia, so it's more mellow. A tri-state airport, this is the first time you've ever driven somebody and dropped them off. [08:19] That's right. This is the first time you've gone to the airport and then not gotten on a plane. Shit. Actually, yeah.

[08:26] Actually, did you feel did you feel the rush? What? I feel the rush of the airport life. And then you got to pull out. It's like the plane's about to land and we get wobbly. No, no, no. Buzz in the tower. I got to go back. It did feel only also because I had my full luggage with me in the back. You know what I mean? It wasn't like I didn't have luggage with me. So I could have technically. [08:46] I've told you this story before. Maybe I haven't told it on the show, but [08:51] There was a point in my life where I... [08:53] When I was managing a band, one of the members of the band... [08:57] Got caught. [08:59] Having an out-of-relationship affair, let's say, and to make up for it. I love how you're talking right now. It's such a minefield style. There was an incident that... There was an incident, and he... [09:13] He went to the, to make up for it, he went to the airport, walked up to the desk, and bought two tickets to Disney World on site, which I think, I don't... [09:27] i've never done that i don't know anyone personally except this person that has done that like i've never heard of that it feels like something from the 80s well i mean every disney adult i know has done some fucked up shit where they got to do that like that's that's disney adult no but that's the thing he wasn't even a disney adult that's the that's how bad it was that's how bad he got caught so he got caught with the underage and he's like dan she's gonna she's gonna no no no no no i'm

[09:57] Disney World, I'll take two tickets. To make it up to you, I'll take you anywhere you want to go. And I think her choice. This is – Okay, so he said, shorty, I can take you there. And she said, Orlando, Florida, please. I honestly – I don't remember. From Atlanta to Orlando? Exactly. So what – Could have gone anywhere, and she took a 48-minute flight from Atlanta to Orlando. Let me take this back. Maybe it was Disneyland. Maybe it was all the way to Orange County. I don't know. But I remember it being one of those because it was so shocking. [10:27] that it was like it was we were too young to know we were too young for these chicks to be like take me to san tropez you know you gotta take me to turks and cake like she don't know bro who knows who knows that the chick has got three kids right now somewhere even know what was like the orange wine scene in athens at all she fucked up she said i know goofy mini i know that's my shit i've heard croatia is really busy right now so i would rather i would rather go do the [10:57] But I just thought the thought of I think that at one point in my life, I want to do that just to see what it feels like. Like just to walk into the airport with a bag and go up to the Delta counter and be like, all right, what are we looking at? Like, show me a show me a power ranking of most popular tickets today. And I'm going to I'm going to just pick one and go. You're going to go up to the desk, pull up the chart. What chart is that? You know, the power ranking chart of all the flights today. Well, speaking of speaking of flights, I don't want to I don't want to shit on our man, Rose, too much.

[11:27] But Ross has been in trouble for flying commercial, which I just want to say – [11:32] For all the people listening that maybe don't have, and not that I have some insane grasp on it, but I have a little bit of a grasp on how much private travel costs, flying private is staggeringly expensive. And no matter how rich you are, bordering on stupid, depending on where you're going. You know what I mean? Obviously, there's ways around it now. And I'm hopping on this person's plane. There's multiple seats. There's good friends at Arrow. The solution is here. You could use Arrow, something smart like that. But when you're a rapper, you can't do that. [12:02] buy a plane, which is historically one of the stupidest things you can financially. It's worse than a boat. You know what I mean? It's unbelievable how stupid it is to buy that plane. You do not want to deal with the fucking headache of a plane. You don't want to buy a plane. Rick Ross was in the airport. I believe he was in Cartagena. Well, I say some people were saying like real heads know which airport this is. And then, you know, however you would type out the sk, sk, sk. Yeah. You know, that type of laugh that you do. Yeah. [12:27] So Cartagena? And why would that be... What is the clue? What is the tell of Cartagena Airport? I don't know, I guess. Maybe he was looking for a Colombian baddie. I assume... And people were like, he doesn't have an assistant to carry his luggage. I'm like, dude, I think you guys forget that... [12:46] I mean, I guess with rappers, the optics are so crazy. Like, if that was a guy in a band, it would be sort of like, oh, yeah, he's just on his own. You know what I mean? But because it's Rick Ross who talks about how much money he has and how he needs, like, 15 guys to mow his grass, he can't be seen with the Kmart luggage rolling through the airport. Right. You know? And there's no way he would do a Medellin run on commercial. That's too crazy.

[13:16] The cocaine dealing is probably out of the question on this one. But I want to say that Rick Ross's financial situation, none of my business. I'm not a pocket checker. [13:27] flying commercial is fiscally responsible, and he's setting a good example for his fans. And I kind of want to stand up for him. Well, he claims that his plane was in the shop. Are you buying that? Well, here's what I was going to say, Jason, and I don't buy that. We're about to hear a truth nuke. But then there's a website... [13:46] that I've looked at before, my fellow... [13:49] up in the air, livers will understand that it's called FlightAware, and you can kind of, you see the patterns. And someone has gone on their, like, FlightAware premium and said that they found his tail number and it's been sitting in the hangar for a month. [14:04] So they're saying he couldn't have used it recently. The Starlink thing is an amazing, stupid lie that is so stupid that I think people would believe it. [14:13] How long does it take to put Wi-Fi on a plane? Chris, it's a whole thing. You wouldn't get it. But I don't know. Obviously, all of his excuses, and I was installing... [14:25] Starlink and that's why the planes in the shop like it is quite plausible, but also I [14:31] famous rich people much more famous and rich than rick ross fly commercial all the time all the time for for many many you know like sometimes your plane is just not there and sometimes you just got to get to a place and that's the only option and you know j-lo flies fucking commercials i don't know how much this would cost but flying a private plane that far would be unbelievable have to stop probably have to stop to get fuel because it's not big enough like there's no there's no way in

[15:01] He's got to stop in Cuba and things aren't going so hot over there. No, you can't. Rick Ross can't be seen. But... [15:07] Him getting flicked up by guys on spring break kind of vibe with a hood on and three of the shittiest pieces of luggage you've ever seen, I feel for him. Because Rick Ross, as funny as he is and how easy he is to make fun of us, he's given us more hits than I would say 99.9% of rappers that are still living. I'm a Rick Ross truther. I'm a Rick Ross supporter. [15:37] It will boil down to how many great club songs you have created as somebody who does club music. And he's got countless bangers. Countless. Great features. He does what he needs to do. And let's not forget, he did... [15:51] They said he was a cop. It was proven that he was a cop and he survived. That, in theory, should be the biggest. That's real Teflon Dawn behavior. I didn't want to say it, so thank you. But you're right. He's living up to his self-proclaimed name. But I hope he figures it out soon and we can get that jet back up in the air. Because, I mean, these pilots got to work. You know, the stewardess that's also a prostitute's got to work. So, I mean, he's taking jobs away from people. That's what I'm worried about. [16:21] Get things up and running. Get a little tune-up on the unit. Get Starling going. A little update a few things before summer travel season comes around. It seems like he's right on schedule. I think he's going to be fine. He owns many Wingstop locations, and it seems to be a great business. I'm sure he's got a lot of stock in the company. Don't forget the Checkers locations as well. Don't sleep on Checkers, Jason. Checkers money still spans the same, doesn't it, Chris? Have you ever been to a Checkers?

[16:50] No. Okay. They have a very, very special French fry that I would like to purchase for you and have you sample a few. It really is one of the top underrated fries globally, I would say. Okay. On the global fry charts. Actually, Wingstop is doing bad. [17:06] Stock wise. Really? Yeah. Let's see here. A year ago. [17:11] It was $3.54 million. [17:13] peaked at almost 400, and then now we're sitting at 162. Man. Still, you know, still solid. Yeah, I don't like to hear that. I mean, I've never – have you eaten at Wingstop before? Wingstop, buy the dip, blue cheese or ranch. The joke's sitting right there. Sorry, you were saying that? Have you ever had Wingstop? [17:33] This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by a new podcast from The Guardian, stateside with Kai and Carter. This is covering a lot of our bases, Jason. It's trying to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions we all have about what's happening in the world. And I know you particularly have quite a lot of questions. A lot of questions, but how often? Because we do this podcast three times a week, and that's a sweet spot. How many times do they do? Three times a week. And I have a feeling just based on the platform and these talking points [18:03] stuff than we do that's just a guess the guardian is not some billionaire owned platform they're not afraid to say what they want to say brother yeah rupert ain't sniffing around in in what uh journalists kai wright and carter sherman are up to over there at uh stateside but yeah listen wherever you get your podcast you can watch on youtube it's three times a week and and who couldn't use more news you know especially especially when it's when it's not

[18:29] you know, from here, let's say. Give it a listen. Give it a listen. [18:33] Jason, I've heard you blame being bloated on so many things over the years, whether you were blaming it on getting older. [18:40] being busy, [18:42] that fucking taco truck you stopped at on the way home from the club i'm sick of this and i don't want to talk about it anymore i think you need to get a clear answer and that's where tiny health comes in okay that's fine that's fine i mean you know as we get older the body can't really handle what you've been doing to it in your younger days and you know that gut microbiome basically affects everything going on in your body whatever's going on in there it controls you know your immune system [19:12] there.

Maybe when it very, very first, like first six months...

[21:35] I remember one of them opened up maybe in Costa Mesa. [21:39] Dude, Wingstop in Costa Mesa. That's a dark scene. You know, 19... [21:45] You know, 99, 2001, something like that? No, it hasn't been around that long. The restaurant chain was founded in 94 in Garland, Texas. Really? Began franchising in 97. Suck my dick from the back, Chris. I don't, you know, I got in one of the arguments that Alex's dad in the car today about football. Because he said that only 11 minutes of actual football get played every game. I was like, that's crazy. And then he proved me wrong. And he's right. Yeah, it's true. Which is, that just felt insane. But, I mean, he looked it up. He's a classic looker-upper. [22:15] with that. I mean, kind of the same thing with basketball. It's... [22:19] That's 48 minutes total. [22:21] And those games are, what, three, four hours? Yeah, at least, minimum, with all the breaks and shit, for sure. The last three minutes takes 45. It's funny. Carolyn is into watching basketball now. We're sports and dreams. Oh, shocker. A girl is into basketball now that it's in the finals, and there's one game left, and it's a reason to drink and eat? That's so crazy. No, no. We're not drinking. We're eating really good and healthy. Well, she played basketball when she was in school, like middle school. No, bro. No, your wife is straight. Don't do that, bro. Don't do that. [22:51] Don't do that. There was a time when they still let straight girls play basketball. Did you see those pictures of Caitlin Clark, though? [22:57] Is that shit AI though? I don't know, but Caitlin Clark, I know Catlin's listening. The lesbian homie really likes all these WNBA chicks, and I'm like, I don't see it.

[23:05] But Caitlin Clark leaving the Trader Joe's, not bad. Let me see. I got to pull this up. It could be fake. I don't – but, I mean, why would it be? She's an athlete. No, because I remember seeing it, and she was pogging hard, and it was like – [23:18] Something was going on that was different. But let's just, I think for the sake of how long gone, it's real. She was kind of serving big Addison Rae. Yeah, yeah. No, yeah. Not fat. No, she's probably like six feet tall. Also, Caitlin Clark is 24 years old. Damn. Just like real basketball, bro. They're young. Something happened. She got the woody. She's pogged down. [23:44] Good God. [23:48] It says take a second look. Good God. There was somebody else that we were talking about how you got to take a second look at that. Oh, Elle Fanning is the one they keep talking about. They keep being like, online, they're like, every year, somebody discovers that Elle Fanning is a pog. And then this post goes... It's like the Bo Burnham thing during COVID. It comes up every six months, and it gets a million likes, and then it just happens again and again and again. And no one... Everyone acts like they're seeing it for the first time. It's pretty magical, actually. Yeah, we're really... Once you see... [24:16] A white girl with a fat ass. It's like, you know, we can put that into syndication. It's like Big Bang Theory, The Office, Workaholics, all that shit. Some of the, you know, these Caitlin Clark photos, she's playing ball with the camera, you know, look back at it, look side at it. [24:34] These are going to go down in the rafters. My grandkids are going to be... You wonder if she called? Put it out to these pigs. You wonder if she called? Do you think that a paparazzi would recognize Caitlin Clark at the Gelson's fucking parking lot?

[24:46] I don't know if it's a Gelson's. Whatever. She's carrying a smoothie. It could be Bristol Farms. I was thinking Bristol Farms, but I don't know where she lives. I don't know. I don't know. Well, listeners right now, call in. Let us know. These photos are definitely not real. I mean, I think it's. I'm giving AI. I'm giving real because it's very plausible. I mean, there's no way she. I mean, she's a professional athlete. It's not like it's so out of the question for her to be in that good of shape. You know? Okay. [25:16] hours ago, NBA All-Star James Harden arrested with a gun in Houston. You see this? Yeah, I did see this. I did see this. I watched one of those basketball shows on Netflix. James Harden was on it. He is [25:31] one of the most boring. Like, I don't... Like, he doesn't really know how to talk. It's crazy, but I think he really... [25:39] stays in the strip clubs and that's sort of his whole thing so maybe he felt threatened um and felt like he needed protection i i do find it strange that at this point you get caught with a gun well also in houston you are allowed to carry a gun so he was charged with carrying an unlawful weapon [25:59] I don't exactly know what that means, but maybe he was caught with a handgun in his vehicle, allegedly, just like in the cup holder instead of... [26:08] holster oh that's fine because i always let my gun sit shot you know i put it in shotgun no no pun intended i don't look if i'm in houston i have you have to kind of bring a gun like it's a non-negotiable especially if you you know somebody can kidnap you and pull 300 mil out of the crypto account you gotta ride around with a little something in there and i saw i saw a nice

[26:38] Got him. I mean, James Harden is one of the best beard fishes, maybe the best beard fish ever, ever, ever. Like, if you see him, if you see him without that beard, you're you're shocked. It is absolutely staggering what he looks like without the beard. He is all beard. All beard. And I'm because there's a there's an episode of Abbott Elementary where Quinta Brunson dons a fake James Harden style beard. [27:04] Indistinguishable. [27:05] Really? From James Harden. My point being, like you said, it's all beard. Yeah, it's all it takes. That beard, it'll transform anyone, man, woman, and child, into James Harden. Man, woman, and child. Next Halloween, we're going to have full families going as James Harden with their hands behind their back. The child, James Harden, please stand up. [27:27] So we were looking at [27:28] at... [27:29] Twitter earlier I sent you, and obviously on our timeline, it was going crazy for this Morrissey list. It's pretty awesome to do this. His Mean Girl list. And I kind of want to do this on HowLongOn.com. Just post a list of all your ops. Do you think it should be updated monthly or quarterly or something like that, though? Bitch, daily. What the fuck do you mean? I make it every day. But the list, I mean. [27:59] which is a fun name, and then the post is titled The Malefactors. But, dude, the range on this, like Mitski, sure, of course, but...

[28:10] Princess Diana, she's dead, for God's sakes. You know what I mean? Aubrey, Drake, Graham. Yo, dead or alive. Top 10 beefs, dead or alive. Something happened with them, and it makes you wonder. This can't be real, bro. Fucking Ryan Reynolds, this is so good. There's a lot on there that are. He listed Johnny Marr twice and himself. I mean, listing himself twice, great. I'm surprised that Ben Shapiro caught a stray here. Is Ross Geller Ross from Friends? [28:39] I think it is. [28:44] Dude, that's so good. Putting fictional characters on your fucking ops list on your website is so good. It's so funny. I'm not a thousand percent, but also the Blue album. Do you think that's Weezer? I would hope so. I would hope so. But the one that sticks out, Mike Mills, friend of the show, Catching Straight, Tim Paul. But I'm most shocked by Alex G, who has given the world so much, seems like a nice, stoic guy. [29:09] What on earth Alex G could have done unless he, at some point in his, like... [29:13] Tumblr career butchered a Smith song as a cover or something? I got the answer. [29:18] He won't fuck them. He won't even reply to the DMs. Oh, yeah, you're right. Because Alex G is... [29:24] is batty trade and Morrissey wants a slice the whole the whole country of Canada made it too it's really good this is really this is really fucking well that that I can understand I can too I'm sure he's been I'm sure he hasn't been let in before I love Canadians but you know [29:39] As a country and a government, it's been tough right now. This is really funny. Ronald McDonald, though, that one's sick. The one that I want to call out the most out of all of them that is bizarre is John Cena.

[29:52] I mean, I think this list could contain people that have actually committed a personal affront to Morrissey in real life, and also people he just doesn't like the cut of their jib, which John Cena, I get that. I like John Cena just fine. But how does Morrissey even... [30:09] consume enough [30:12] and consume enough John Cena to decide whether he likes to cut a new shit. See, that's the thing, Jason. That's the thing. If you're a real hater... [30:19] You don't need to see much. Trust. Let me tell you, bro. How does John Cena... Like, I don't... [30:24] I grew up watching wrestling when I was a kid. I don't watch it anymore. I have friends that are into it. I'm loosely tangential. I know enough about wrestling. [30:32] No, no, he's not a wrestler. I've never seen John Cena wrestle. He's not a wrestler, Jason. He's a movie star. He's definitely seen him in a movie as an actor, for sure. I don't want Morrissey. Morrissey should die. He shouldn't be old enough to be watching John Cena movies. I think that we've – do you know how much Morrissey flies, Jason? Sometimes you run out of stuff to do. I don't – Morrissey's like, I'm going to watch Date Night again with – Dude, Morrissey is an older gay guy. I remember that. [31:02] But his taste probably at this point is flailing at best. So he's got some fucking house boy over. He's like, do you want to watch the new Yellowstone, I guess? I think that really could be possible. Okay. I want to know where his line is because, you know, we hold these people up. [31:19] so much as as artists and when they when you start to see him slip you know what i mean when you start to see i don't think this is a slip at all i think this is one of the coolest things he's ever done i think this is top five things morrissey's ever done besides the queen is dead this is this is the putting a list of people you don't like on your website naming names this is we should all do this i imagine how many websites i would be on yeah and i wonder i mean i guess the

[31:49] crime, a wrong or evil doer. So I feel like each one of these beefs has to be somewhat personal for whatever reason. I disagree. I think friends is evil doing. Like friends as a program is an evil concept. I agree with that. I agree with that 100%. Maybe, I mean, I want to know. This is enough fodder [32:11] for months of research. I want somebody at whatever, Grantland or whatever. This feels like something for Yossi, honestly. This feels like something for Yossi to really unpack. Yossi, I want you to go create the huge whiteboard. We got a photo of Mitski, and she's connected to Mike Mills, and he's connected to Jamie Oliver. I want to put something together. Figure out why. Put something together. [32:41] Also, Edward Cullen, is that... I believe that's... Is that from the movie? I believe that's Rob's character from... Which one we call it? Twilight, I believe. Twilight, yes. That one makes a little sense. That does, actually. That makes a lot more sense than any other character. And he's like Edward Cullen from the book, not the movie. It's actually different. Oh, you thought I watched the movie? Yeah, so a lot of them make sense. And then some of them... [33:03] I'm just dying to know. I would love to see your list. I think my list would be obvious, but I think yours could have some surprises on it. Oh, it'll have some surprises on it. That's a thing that people should pay well. Do you just pay $5 a month for an updated list of people you hate, someone hates? Maybe more. Maybe because that's really something that you would want to pay for. Did you... I agree. I agree. Did you see this...

[33:27] call her daddy story in vanity fair that was people were talking about for two months and it came out and nothing happens unfortunately um i saw i saw i did not read it but basically they were trying to paint her new husband as kind of uh there's this one story where it was like toxic ceo there's one where a woman was like and then he touched my arm in front of her i couldn't believe it was just they're they're really it's really like all right man that wouldn't have happened over at dear media absolutely not they could take an arm touch they don't let men in [33:57] They let my gay ass in there. That's about it. I'm saying... [34:01] around certain people they probably kept you in a different space you probably had to be you probably had to be in the the men's playpen area you weren't allowed breeder bubble but i think this is a i had to bring my wedding certificate this is a classic case of sort of a like week the woman that got famous from talking about fucking baseball players is now a ceo and we expect her to know how to run a conglomerate and also have good taste in men it's just sort [34:31] is not some businesswoman. She's literally a podcaster who got so popular that she had almost no choice but to do this. You know what I mean? It's almost like the money is so great. She's merely an artist. She's not a world builder. Yeah, I don't expect her to be an amazing boss and business owner. That just seems misguided. Yeah, the husband's a dick, but it's not like he yells sometimes. It's just like there's nothing that crazy.

[35:01] sort of spiritually have bad feelings about people and they want to sort of validate it or they want to find out totally they want to find that their thoughts like this guy's bad news he's taking advantage of her maybe he's emotionally or physically abusive you know whatever like they want this stuff to come to light you know because they it's just a even if you don't like call her daddy or think it's dumb it's a bummer to see somebody being taken advantage of by another [35:31] How could you possibly care about this? Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't... [35:36] I just don't expect entertainers to do more than entertain. Let me put it that way. If your job is to entertain, but we look to you for any sort of other guidance, leadership, opinions, or thought leading, I think that's where the problem – like if you're listening to Call Her Daddy and you think of her as something more than a voice that entertains you, then it's kind of your problem. Yeah. [35:58] If you work for Unwell Industries, you know... [36:02] Don't be surprised when – don't play unwell games and not expect unwell prizes. Is that what they say? [36:10] I saw the two of them on an airplane one time, and I remember – Okay. He had controlling energy. [36:17] I will say. Yeah, man. Maybe she needs to be controlled, bro. I need to be controlled. So do you. We all do. Everybody needs somebody to be like, don't do that. That's stupid. That's what that's like. Yeah, but when you see, but when people see a woman controlling a giant man, they go, that's right. I know. That's right, girlfriend. But then of course, of course, of course, you know, a guy.

[36:35] a male, a larger male controlling a smaller woman in public. Nobody likes to see that unless you're a bad boy. No, yeah, of course not. Of course not. But I think the real issue is that... [36:47] There's too much money. So then you're immediately taking advantage of someone if there's that much money involved. If they didn't have any money, nobody would care. I think this is all part of her overall story arc. [36:58] She goes from somebody who is most well-known for... [37:03] For coining the phrase Gawk Gawk 3000. I always forget that. Honestly, that's Hall of Fame stuff. And I want to give her credit for that because I always forget that. I mean, she's known for two things. Gawk Gawk 3000, which is literally just... [37:17] the sound that you should make when you're giving a blowjob to a New York Met, or her show is a show where she does not have a problem... [37:29] platforming people who have maybe been shunned by polite society a little bit, rehabilitating. Yeah, you know, Christian Aguilera has been shunned by polite society. I always think that. Look, I didn't say everyone. I didn't say everyone. [37:42] Well, you know, she's willing to have bad people on and tell their side of the story, which is a lucrative business as everyone is, you know, super cancel happy. There's always a new reputation that needs to be rehabilitated. That's true. If you got to give a platform, I and Adam Friedland can't do all of it. There's only one. There's only one of him. I don't know if you saw this, but there's some more news besides Tom Brady.

[38:12] What about Goodnut? Generational baddie from... [38:17] Laguna Beach. [38:18] LC? No, bro. Cavalari. Okay. My girl. My Nashville zone. [38:25] Kristen Cavallari. Kristen Cavallari has a beverage. Oh, you're not up on this, bro? It's called Fizzin. It's called Fizzin, and Jason, it's a protein soda. You're right. F-I-Z-Z-E-N. She's Fizzin. Fizzin protein. Sparkling fruit. [38:41] juice with real fruit juice so it's a feeling it's not all real fruit but what is that even what can you imagine even what that would taste like is that like a is that like a la croix with more flavor or is that like what yeah i think it's gonna okay it's it's a sparkling fruit juice we got peach mango orange pineapple strawberry lemonade real kind of fastball down the middle no no no flavors for brown people these nothing that's going to confuse all the crack is buying [39:11] okay. They put enough. My guess, Chris, it's going to taste alright. The collagen and the protein they put just enough in to where you cross the Uncanny Valley when you start adding stuff to where the average punter is not going to want to slug it down. This is what I want to ask about these protein [39:32] these protein drinks, these sort of, you know, whatever, how, how much, how much protein can you add to something like this before it affects the taste or is it unlimited?

[39:43] Um, no, it's not, it's definitely not unlimited. I think it's more usually like the protein consistency. Yeah, I think I guess I've never really experimented with just like straight up pure protein powder versus like flavored, you know, vanilla, whatever, you know, they always have some type of flavor, because it's usually it affects like the mouthfeel, the chalkiness, the consistency. If you add too much of the powder, just sort of, you know, the center won't hold. But I think for something like this, I don't and also when I'm if I'm getting [40:13] grams of protein from a can of sparkling juice. [40:18] I feel like that's not even protein that my body is going to be able to turn into muscle. It's just there. So you're saying it's kind of coincident. It's there, but there's nothing. Body can't do nothing with it. But it says the word that it needs to say for someone to possibly buy it. Yes. I mean, all this stuff is stupid, but I do like it more as somebody who's not into things that are too super sweet. Yeah. [40:45] I feel like everything is sort of moving away from just blasting you with sugar and super sweet things and... [40:53] They're not doing it for any other reason other than people want to see no sugar added on the label or only three grams of sugar or whatever. So that part is good, but I don't need to drink... [41:07] My fizzy fruit punch protein. I wonder what's going to sell better, this or Tom Brady's good nut. And is it possible that Kristen has also sampled Tom Brady's good nut? That's another. That's another. Dickory, dickory dog. Sorry, that's kind of another issue altogether. You take the hit, Chris. I get it.

[41:29] I mean, with the good nut, it's one of those, like, I don't know anyone who's going to be like, [41:35] You know when you see the wrap snacks and kids are going to buy, like every day thousands of kids ask their mom to buy them NBA Youngboy wrap snacks? I don't know anyone who's going to ask their mom to buy them Tom Brady coconut water. [41:52] Get out your fucking wallet. It's time to talk about rocket money, baby. I'm trying to save some money. I was talking to a friend of the show, Bryn Walner, yesterday, and she was saying if you look at your subscriptions, you could be living like me. That's what she was saying. She was saying if you use rocket money to find out which subscriptions you were paying for without your knowledge, then maybe you could be in Switzerland like me. You could be in Geneva. You could be at F1. Yeah, it does make sense. I think it really boils down to everyone knows it, but they just don't have the time. They don't want to do it. Everyone knows. They can go. [42:22] clean all the clothes out of their closet, sell them, and then take that money and buy a dream vacation or a trip to Geneva or a new Rolex. But you just don't do it. You don't have the time. It's too much work. Luckily, nowadays, places like Rocket Money do it all for you. They're happy to do it for you. So then all that money that you're saving, we can turn that into truly whatever it is that you want. Just make sure that you're not just taking all that money and resubscribing to the same services that you didn't use before. Okay.

[46:16] You know, so it's like you really got to know when you put it when you put it like that. You're kind of right. Like it's like mom, mom, mom. Yeah, I would like Tom Brady's coconut water, please. It doesn't roll off the tongue. So I mean, all that is to say, like, obviously, wrap snacks are disgusting. You know, Timu food. I've never tried it before, but I'm assuming it's not a glorious blend of flavors crafted by our world's culinary greats. It's it's which is totally fine. I'm down to eat stuff like that. But.

[46:46] With the coconut water, there's already, like, the coconut water space is already here. [46:51] Unless you are cheaper and better than Harmless Harvest, there's no reason for anyone to buy your shit. Because, like, we got the expensive good shit, and then you got the, like, 99 cents a can, like, cheap shit where you're like, you know, it's fine. [47:05] And that's kind of it. So unless Tom is going to be able to conquer Harvest Mountain, good freaking luck. That was the best. So I'm in the Hamptons and there's obviously a shopping block that's, you know, L'Opiana, Prada, Louis Vuitton, there's Chanel, there's everything you can imagine. Violet Gray for beauty, there's an amazing double RL store, blah, blah, blah. You turn one corner, [47:29] And there's Tom Brady's Card Vault, which is the ugliest store on fucking planet Earth. There's one. I believe there's still one in Lafayette and New York. It's like the worst. It's literally a card shop that looks like sort of like a Transformer logo. And I've just the way the Hamptons is so manicured and the rules about, you know, I'm sure what you can have in your garden and how tall your fence is, all that shit. [47:59] as Chanel is... That's literally a crime. That's literally a taste crime. And he needs to be... It's crazy how ugly it is. It is a taste crime. It's so ugly. This is why we need HOAs or something, right? Yeah, right? I love HOA. I love rules. I was just stunned. I think the problem is whoever owns that land, whichever Jewish guy owns that land...

[48:19] Their son or their cousin or whatever is into trading cards. [48:24] That's how the cards stay carding. But I will say it was busy. I will say it was busy. Yeah, of course it's busy. There's nothing else to do in the Hamptons once you realize you can't afford the big flap Chanel. Then, you know, let's go look at some fucking Pokemon. No, I think that's the problem. Too many people can't afford the big flap Chanel, so there ain't any left. I think that's the problem. I think that's when you're like, all right, they're sold out. My personal shopper called me. I already got mine, so I'm taking fucking Sammy and his buddy to go blow some money on an Odell Beckham card. [48:54] hotel beckham okay um what do you think about the lunan water [49:01] Yeah, I had a moment with this today. I bought Alex the sparkling this morning at the at the provision store. And the woman was like, what's up with this stuff? [49:10] Have you tried it before? And I was like, yeah, I've tried it before. She's like, it's good, right? I'm like, yeah, it's good. But I think that the design is purposely ugly. And I think that the – I can't remember if this is – I don't know if Sundberg pointed this out or if someone else mentioned it to me. Or maybe this was in – because Dan wrote about it today too in The New Consumer. But the wide mouth, like the size of the hole is – [49:34] they're disrupting the space is they're disrupting this whole size space i think i love this i let this guy disrupt my space last night this is you're gonna get your space disrupted no no joke but it is it's a nice bottle and i think the wide mouth [49:48] is is much like the the the um what who else does the wide mouth is it is it the nalgene does one it's like a few i mean like water bottle companies i just don't know of any other like i can't think of another like i'm trying to think of when i've experienced a wide mouth because it feels kind of like an early 2000s relic this shit is good though it's very good and it's also i think the real trick is that it's reasonably priced it's not that it's not it's not really any different it's not

[50:18] It's the same price as a Fiji, but it's smaller, obviously a little smaller. [50:27] A decession indicator because, you know, moving back into... [50:33] sort of single-use [50:36] statement branded water is sort of something that hasn't really been going on. Oh, good point. Going back to the heyday of Jennifer Aniston with the Smart Water or everyone had Essentia [50:48] It was going loco with the Essentias, and then we went deep, and everyone had their own brand, and each brand of water bottle that you carried around signified how much money you made and how cool and hip you are. And then it went away with sort of the Nalgeneification and everyone carrying around the Stanley Babas and all that stuff. And now people are sort of rejecting that and going back into this, and we're anti-plastic because we have so much plastic in our little testicles, and we've got to do glass only. [51:18] Is bad for the gym because you're going to break it and it's going to have... Jason, I will... I'll say, I think... I've broken a glass water bottle at the gym. It's very embarrassing. Really? Wow. This bottle feels like it has a high constitution. This bottle feels like... It does. It does. It feels thick. I remember I had... I was at Metro Fitness in Gatwater. I had the glass... [51:40] Smart water where it was like... Oh, yes. The limited glass smart... I remember when you got your hands on these. We used to... It was sort of like hotel only. It was very like, you know, you can get like a nice... Something where you can compete with the glass Voss or whatever. The... Yeah, yeah, yeah. The aquapana at the table. So they had... It was very like Miami Beach. Let me know. A glass of...

[52:02] The glass bottle of Smart Water looked exactly like the plastic, but it was glass. I used to get them at Mother's Market in Orange County. But anyway... [52:09] had it up on the dips or something like that and knocked it and just, boom, smashed on the floor. Luckily, at Metro Fitness, they probably just kind of left it there for a while. They said, don't worry, the dogs will eat the glass. It's fine. [52:22] No, the cat will take care of that. We keep them in the back. We keep them in the back. I remember somebody at Lunen sent us, what was that, six months ago or something like that? They sent us. No explanation or anything. It just showed up. A case of still, a case of sparkling. [52:39] and, you know, I popped it when we had guests over, and I was like, eh, water's good. But I think all in all... [52:48] It is a good recession. D indicator. [52:52] That things are going well, that we want to have. I mean, actually, when I was in Utah, you saw the table of girlies, and each table of rich, bored housewife had the Stanley, had a loon in, [53:06] and had a smoothie with them at all times. Wow. Okay, so what do we think is in the Stanley? Some sort of soda concoction? I think the Stanley is water with some type of powder in it, whatever it might be, electrolytes, et cetera, et cetera. Some type of yummy powder that make water yummy. And then the Lunen is there just as a flex to let the other moms know that, you know. I got five on it. I got five on it. Do you remember Crystal Light?

[53:35] Yeah, the original Liquid Ivy. That's the... I mean, that was my mom. We had so much crystal light in my fucking house. But I just... It's crazy. It's just... That's exactly what this is. It's the same exact thing. It's like... [53:46] Are we really so, and I mean, I'm obviously part of the problem and so are you. I can drink a bottle of water, no problem. And I'm happy when it tastes like water. But if when, now that when I go to the gym, if I don't have my Magna fucking Arnold Palmer, I'm, [54:00] I'm annoyed. Right, right, right. You become a pill if you don't have... I ran out and I texted Taylor and she was like, yeah, but I was out of town. So I went with a week without it. And I was like, I actually missed this. It's fucking annoying. I'm part of the problem. I thought I would be better than that, but I don't think I am. Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with it because we've taken the crystal light, which before was just, we make it taste like fruit punch instead of water. [54:30] flavorings and there's some sugar and you know you can also get the sugar free but it was just there and so it was it was less virtuous and healthy than just drinking the regular water so it was more of a crutch versus now [54:44] You have the crutch with the medicine with the sugar going down. You feel like you're not doing anything wrong. You feel like you're making your body even better. That's true. Pumping it up with all this delicious magnesium. It makes you energy and sleepy. Can you beat that, really? Get you a chemical compound that can do both. I wonder if this will really... Because the other thing I've noticed about Lunen is they don't sell it at Erwin yet, which is interesting. We can't get that one account.

[55:14] like somebody's like, I feel like they're like, we're not going to pay like everybody else or something. Yeah. [55:18] And everyone won't bend, you know what I mean, is my guess. There's some sort of standoff. [55:25] But overall, it's good. In a time when everyone is getting addicted to Starbucks refresher, hot pink drinky thingies and whipped cream, banana foam. [55:37] matchas and all this shit as a status symbol. [55:42] Going back to straight up cold water that you got to buy. And you got to know they don't sell it everywhere. And it's a little more expensive than the other places. [55:49] It's a good return to form. You're right, actually. It feels like the world is healing in some regard. The world, and we need a win right now, don't we? But I guess speaking of people who need a win, Kiki Palmer spotted at a restaurant with Sean Evans from Hot Ones grabbing dinner together. [56:09] They have got the bottle of Aguapanna on the table. He's been lusting after her publicly for years, and this is obviously 100% a stunt. Like, there's no way. This is like a real date. Just basically like... [56:23] We just had dinner... [56:26] Friday night [56:27] at a nice restaurant as friends. [56:30] I think that it's... People like to hear about this because we've been playing these games in public for a year. And I flirted with him when I came on the show. And now... [56:41] I would like a little bit of, I mean, I can call the paparazzi and somebody, this is like a thing that'll be cute and everybody kind of wins. Okay. But do you feel like... Because it also came out that Kiki Palmer lives with her two sisters and their kids. So it ain't like Sean's going back to her place. Okay.

[56:57] I [57:25] So I'm saying if that is all true and correct, is this unfair for Kiki to be toying with him and his emotions? Basically, a public cucking friend zone of Sean from Hot Wings, Hot Ones. I think Sean... [57:41] from what i know considering sean's emotions here i always i always i always consider sean's emotions and i from what i understand i mean sean one ball to another he's a stick man he he was dating a porn star for christ's sake so i don't think oh okay i don't know if he can i feel like he can't get messed with like that but i also think he's fine to play really does look like a porn star when you did 100 he he is porn star down god damn okay but i like the facts so [58:11] So because of that, [58:13] If he's a known fornicator, if he's been able to pound a pro. He don't need this kiki shit. He's like, yeah, play me, bitch. I got a roster. I got a stable. I don't give a fuck. I'll go on a date with you. I'll get my picture taken. People will like it. It'll get more ratings for my show. And if I get to beat, I get to beat. If not, that's cool, too. That's my guess. So we're saying big dick Sean. Ain't nobody simping over here. I've never met Sean, but I feel deep in my soul that Sean's a real one.

[58:43] Sean, okay. Okay, that being said, we're going to do a little polymarket play. Percentage of chance that he is or he has... [58:55] Put his penis inside of Kiki Palmer. [59:00] Oh, man. [59:02] 40% chance. It's not bad. It's not bad at all. Not bad because I want him to win. I want him to both get the picture and get the pussy. You know what I mean? I want the double. [59:13] First you get the picture. Double P. Then you get the pussy. That double P. Yeah, yeah, yeah. PP. But what do you think? What are you looking at? [59:21] I was going more in the 15% to 19% range. Okay, okay. [59:26] Okay. You're thrown in with action. I feel like there's a way for us to find this out, honestly. I feel like this isn't that crazy. I feel like I could text a few people and get an answer here. Because we got connections to Sean. This ain't like he's behind the raw iron gates. Yeah, we could use our one wish for the genie and ask our friend of a friend, you know, if we could smell Sean from Hot One's Finger. [59:53] Is that over? Is that our plan? Oh, wait a second. [59:56] What's Kiki Palmer on the Scoville scale, if you don't mind me asking, Sean? [1:00:02] Got him. That is quite nice. Okay, are our buds... [1:00:07] Kicking while he's down, Hudson Williams has had a tough one. He was dropped by Peloton. He had a Peloton deal, and they dropped him amidst his high school photo backlash where he, you know, the classic drunk house party thing where people draw stuff all over your face with a Sharpie, and then you take a photo, and one of the things on his face was a swastika. Yeah.

[1:00:31] And that's not good for him this week, right? Not great for him. But, I mean, I think that I actually believe that he didn't know because I bet he was so twisted. And I haven't read anything about it because I want to see him. He was the loser of this whole thing anyway. So it's not like it was going to happen by hook or by crook. But I think this is a little bit like... [1:00:54] All things considered, if he was the one losing compared to him and Conor Story, you know, this... [1:01:01] The Peloton deal is going to affect the world tour. You know, like, he was sort of banking on this Peloton deal for 26, 27. What did he do for Peloton? Was he like an ad or was he like... I guess he was... Did he host a ride? Like, what did he do? He was an instructor. He did Tuesdays and Thursdays. What did he do? I didn't... Because this is one of those things where like, oh, no, he lost the Peloton deal. I'm like, I don't know if anybody knew he had the Peloton deal. Like, what is the Peloton deal for an actor? That doesn't really make sense. It's a good... I mean, I'm assuming it was just a... [1:01:29] person who was in ads yeah i would assume that too but it's it's strange that you or i both hadn't seen one hudson williams peloton ad campaign video crosses the 20 million view yeah it's just a video of him just kind of sweaty on a treadmill and he's doing gay shit he's walking sideways and forwards it's pretty cool i like that they dropped him after the ad had probably already done everything it was going to do we got 20 million views on this ad at the peak of your fame and now [1:01:59] drop you publicly to make a statement. Although Peloton's had a tough time. People dying. Remember when Big died on the Peloton? They can't have another one. This can't keep happening to them. It took me a minute. I was like,

[1:02:11] Big from Robin Big or Big from Sex and the City? Big from Robin Big has never been on a bicycle in his life, but... [1:02:17] Rest in peace to God. Rest in peace to both bigs. [1:02:20] Real quick question involving change. Let's say you're going to go to a hotel or you're going to Vegas or whatever, and you want to get a bunch of fives, tip the door guy, tip the this, tip the that. In 2026, where do you go? I guess other than walking into a bank teller, where do you go turn a $100 bill into 25s? Bodega might do it for you in New York. [1:02:45] depending on which one. Is this a thing that you have had to... Yeah, I've definitely done this before. I mean, I've probably done... You know what I bet I've done? I think you can get tens out of the ATM. So I would get tens and then break those down. I mean, if you're in a hotel, usually the front desk or the valet can break it down for you and is happy to. Well, that's why I'm asking in 2026 because they kind of don't do it anymore. They've done that for me in the last six months, for sure. But it's not every [1:03:15] It's not a thing that happens. I mean, even at like... [1:03:18] It was out of four seasons or something. They're like, we don't do that anymore. Or maybe it was, I don't remember. It was something along those lines. Any hotel, I feel like any hotel with a valet, there's cash on hand somewhere. But you're right. And I'm sure they're trying not to do it. I would say if you're in LA, if you go into a gas station with tens, I feel like they'll break them down for you. But 100 is going to be tough. What if I got 20s? 20s, they might do it, but they might only do a couple. You know what I mean?

[1:03:48] four fives, and they're not going to give you $100 worth. Yeah, as we slowly... [1:03:53] Continue the transition into a cashless society. You know, this is affecting our nation's tippers. I just tip somebody. As well as our nation's tip receivers. I tip the guy at the garage where I picked up the M5. Talking to you, Kiki. I tipped him. And, man, I've gotten cars from him a lot. It's the same guy, and I always tip him the same. And... [1:04:16] the level of service and just the attitude is so much better that I'm like, this is an investment in my well-being. Like, this is worth every penny. This guy sits in a dark garage all day. I can peel off a 20, and we're going to have a chat. It's worth every penny. It's an investment for all of us. I went to a hotel in Atlanta, and I tried to pay the valet, and they're like, it's cashless. I was literally like, are you kidding? Like, why would you have this job? The whole point of being a valet is that you get to steal money. That's the whole point of that job. [1:04:46] But I felt wrong to Valet. I know it's common in LA, but I hate – Valet is a cash business, and that should be maybe the last thing that falls. But everyone is using AI technology to cut down our profit and loss, and human beings and cash are an imperfect system. [1:05:06] And, you know, it's only a matter of time. And like you said, being a valet, the whole point was, you know, you get your hourly plus tips plus stolen. Are you kidding me? Being like a hot 21-year-old at the fucking, you know, Ritz-Carlton Laguna. Are you kidding? You're fucking moms. You're pocketing 200 a day. Like life is like your pan. That's a great job. That's a little benzo. Exactly. That's a little benzo under that seat. Yeah, exactly. Oh, bro. The amount of guys. I told you all my friends had the racket at a hospital. They were finding all kinds of pills in the car.

[1:05:36] You dig for the hospital. My mommy. That's I mean, that's the goldmine. Um, before we go, we should talk about, uh, Zoran and these shorts. Um, because, uh, [1:05:48] He built like bad baby from below from the waist down. [1:05:55] He's whoa, Vicky doing a poetry reading in those shorts. I think that when you sign up for the job of mayor, no matter how young you are, [1:06:04] no matter what you like to do, you can only be photographed in a suit. That is just the reality. You can only be photographed in a suit. And I know all the Zoran lovers out there are going to bend over backwards to make this okay. And there's no way you can make this okay. Even if you're playing soccer, put on the seven-inch shorts. Do you know what I mean? The three-and-a-half-inch ain't for the mayor. It ain't for the – you can't. There's a way to make that look okay. [1:06:30] And he did not do it. He went kind of like, I'm trying to think what mode he went. It's like he has like a Wes Anderson swag to him. I wish. And I think that like. I wish that was what was going on here. Just in the like the millennial twee, like I'm going to wear my sports uniform, but it's sort of like camp counselor-y energy. Yeah, that's true. Versus like I'm going to wear a proper kit that people wear nowadays. People having a hard on for him, like making affordable jerseys that they don't need. [1:07:00] don't need a fucking jersey like what what the fuck who cares like that's absolutely meaningless meaningless

[1:07:06] I don't understand the excitement behind that, but put on some 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch, whatever you got to do. Actually, is that his – sorry for interrupting. Is that his first example of socialism at work? He made a – [1:07:18] A football kit for everyone? Government mandated? Yeah, I don't even... I saw people talking about it and then people getting mad they couldn't get one. I'm like, there's no... Anything that people will wait in line for, there's no perfect... There's no way to win. It's going to end badly for you. Somebody's going to be mad they have to pay $500 on eBay. Is him... [1:07:38] You know, showing a little leg, dressing a little too casually on the job as a person in governance. Is this like the reverse Fetterman? [1:07:48] like Fetterman will always wear something too casual on top. Yeah. Like he'll wear some pants and shoes like a man, but then up top he's got the fucking Dickies work shirt or the, the Walmart Carhartt. [1:07:59] fucking hoodie or whatever. And then Zoe down below. [1:08:04] He's got his little fucking Azalea Banks legs. Yeah, this is not. Also, the face he's making, it just feels something about it. Like, if you're going to wear shorts like that, you've got to look hard. [1:08:14] You know what I mean? You can't be smiling. He looks like he's about to bottom for Sean from Hotline. It does look like that a little bit. [1:08:20] He looks really, he looks too, wait, hold on. I'm zooming out. Camp Onoana trade. He's wearing, the shoes aren't bad. [1:08:26] Socks are bad. I mean, you know, whatever, man. He could have this one. He's got rings on. Yo, what's gayer? Dressing like Zoron? [1:08:33] or dissecting his look. How Long Gone. Thank you guys for listening.
