316. - Chris & Jason

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 podcast. or watch on YouTube. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. I'm so glad we were recording for that. I don't know what outburst, I guess you could call that, was. So you said that's how... Joe Budden checks the mic. He says, Mike, Mike, Mike. That's how he checks the mic. That's a toxic way to check the microphone. Well, I think that's how you do it when you're opening a show at SOB's on a Tuesday night. You know what I mean? When you're doing Summer Jam 97 in New Jersey. You've got to let the sound man know that you mean fucking business, and it might get hot in here. Yeah, every sound man loves that. Yeah. Sound guys are one of the most... miserable groups of people on the entire earth. I disagree. Well, no, if they're not touring with Arcade Fire, they're bummed out because they have to deal with a shitty band every single night that thinks they're U2. It's not their fault. I would be miserable, too. You know me. I'm in the biz. I've toured all over this country, all over this world. And it's always been a priority of mine to... What's up? How long gone? Them jeans. Chris Black is here. Always been a priority of mine to be kind. I agree. No, it's the best way to do it. To the sound people because they can be all types of people nowadays. And the worst thing you can do, this was a thing that happened a lot with like British guys, British rappers calling them sound boy.

That's cool. Do we need to demean them even further? Are they even doing that on purpose, or is it a slang that is British in nature, and they don't even know? You can put a B-W-O-Y, sound Y, and it's kind of like, you know. It's like making fun of the police or talking shit on... They're looking at the sound person as the opposition to what they're trying to accomplish versus someone who's there to help you. Help guide them to the light. The club is like, I'm going to hire the sound person to make this musical act sound as good as possible and everyone's happy. Unless they're late for Soundcheck because they're at Wendy's, then I'm going to fuck up that. Fuck up that. You're never going to hear anything in your monitor tonight, bitch. I asked for a Frosty, you didn't bring me one? Oh, no. And they look at the sound boy as this is the person who's going to turn my shit down. He's going to make me not bump in the club. Oh, the bass isn't going to hit hard enough. When the speakers are about to explode, the sound boy is turning me down, and he's an op for doing that. Oh, I see. I've never thought of that. It's an interesting dynamic. But, Chris, we were talking about a type of person beforehand who... The way they prioritize where they're choosing to go places is based on when you're on eBay looking for some Jumpman Jordan 13s. Big Jordan release yesterday. I saw a nice-looking line. I'm just kidding. Everybody in that line was a fat loser. I'm currently looking for a size 17, like a nice mint Yeezy. As you guys know, keep your eyes peeled. Not the cool-looking ones, the worst-looking ones. I don't want the ice blue because they'll get dirty too fast. I want a classic kind of brown-gray with the orange stripe. Luckily, once you wear those, you become kind of a driver, so they won't get scuffed up as much. You know what I mean? Because you don't really do much. You're just driving. I'm just walking from the Lamborghini. To the coffee bean and tea leaf and then back in the Lamborghini? Yeah, exactly. You're not putting a lot of miles on the Yeezys is my point. Oh, no, no, no. I'm going to wear the open house booties over them to keep them in condition, of course. What if you walk to your car in Birkenstocks, sit down in the driver's seat, change into your Yeezys to drive? So that way you're not even scuffing. You can't get them scuffed. No. Because if somebody scuffs the Yeezys, I mean, it's on site, as you know. Yeah, here. You can't wear them out.

For that reason, it's too dangerous. I give all my belongings to my family and loved ones because I'll never be a free man again. I'm not in the eyes of the law. They're burying me under the jail. Anyway, yes. So yeah, you're searching for your shit on eBay and there's a criteria. Do you want to go buy newest, most relevant, price low to high, or price high to low? Always start with price high to low when you're searching for something obscure. Because that's when you get the real good shit. You have to skim off the top of the people charging $4 million for a hubcap, and then you get into a sweet spot. That's how I search on Mr. Porter when I'm looking for my $7,500 Brunello Cuccinelli suede shirt. You know what I mean? The only way to search is high and low. That way it's only Tom Ford, Brunello, Laura Piana. There's no Amiri can't get in there. It doesn't mix with the rude. You know what I mean? I heard Vladimir, the Ukrainian bull, is a lower piano head. Of course he is. He's a rich guy. He's a piano-holic. Yeah, yeah. He's a piano. He can't stop. I'm addicted to piano on all of you. I need you to piano all over me, baby. I want this shit head to toe. Yeah, there's a low head and then there's a low row head. Yeah, that's what he might be. It's the new version. Anyway, best of luck to him. But there's a type of person who searches for restaurants and places to go based on the highest price. It has nothing to do with is this restaurant delicious? Is it have a fun environment where I can bring my friends? And I think I know the reason why if you're a rich person and you have a nice car, like a very nice car. Going out is just valeting to you. You have to consider where you're going and where you're parking if you have a very nice car. And you're kind of stuck going to places that either have a safe valet. or are in, like, a very safe neighborhood. So you're saying, Shintaro, that the parking's too tight for the Bentley truck, and there's some unsavory types kind of roaming the lot. Well, that's the second leaf on this flower, because are you the type of person, you know, like, are you a cute, wealthy chick who drives a, let's say, like, a G-Wagon? Or are you, like, four adult...

maybe violent, maybe scary, maybe criminal-minded people driving a Lambo truck or even the same car, a G-Wagon. So that's like me and you with a couple of our friends in the back. I see what you're saying. Not so much, but a little more along the way than a single person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you can't even wear your watch. No, you can't wear your watch. But it's the kind of vibe, like you can park in a Shintaro parking lot. For our listeners at home, that's a sushi restaurant we go to near the Hollywood and Highland. which is a very scary, dirty, tourist trap. I don't think it's scary. It's not very scary, but it's where a lot of seedy people hang out. There's a 24-hour subway next door. That market there in that shopping center, I went in there once to get some gum. He has all the wild imported candy. It was really interesting. He's got all the British candy and stuff, which I just see. He's ahead. It seems unnecessary, but I mean, whatever. Well, Hollywood is an international tourist capital. Why am I leaving Austria and then coming to – I want to eat the Cali shit. I want to eat the Modelo chocolate, not my Rita Sport. I got that at home at the Circle K. Rita Sport. But if it's you and four of your adult goons and you like to fight people, then yeah, I'll park my G-Wagon in this parking lot. next to the methed-out subway. I parked my G-Wagon at the Dream Hotel myself. They're like, nah, Mr. Black said he wants the smoke. He said leave it out front, and he's not saying that to protect you from dings. He wants people to see him coming out and try to rob him. Protect you from dings. So that he can put them under, he can bury them under the jail. Yeah, if I'm sleeping, I'm an unhoused person sleeping in a dumpster, I've got a knife on me, and I see four brolic Chris Blacks come out of a G-Wagon, I'll be like, I'll go to the next one. I'll wait for the next one. That Richard Milley's probably fake, but I'm not taking my chances tonight. It ain't worth it. It's not worth the smoke. I think you make a good point about the car thing, because there's so many bad, expensive restaurants that have a great $20 valet, and that's maybe their appetizer. And you kind of go to places that only have valet.

Which is a thing that I... I mean, at least here, that's a majority of restaurants, to be honest. That's a majority of restaurants, but that's a phenomenon that I was not aware of until very recently in my life. The phenomenon of going to restaurants because of the valet? Yeah, I mean, I guess just being around that level of wealth. Oh, welcome to the club, Jason. It's pretty funny. You ready to eat some bad stuff? So you're saying this club that you are in as a wealthy person is from me? No, I'm not in the club. I have been around it. You've been around it. But yeah, it was never a thing that even entered my poor person's mind. And now it's kind of interesting to see that you have to prioritize your life and where you go if you want to own a flashy statement car that everyone knows is worth, let's say, $150 or higher. Yeah, at least. We're talking 200. 150, that's the baseline. That's where it starts. 150 for the Civic, and they were going up from there. I totally get it. Not even the EX. It's a 2022. It's got Bluetooth. It's got Wi-Fi, but you still got to crank the windows by hand. I think the crank by hand we could bring back, honestly. I think it's a better – I feel like if you're in an accident, that has saved a lot of lives. Oh, interesting. I feel like if Jound made a G-Wagon, he would go for a vintage hand crank. I think the good G-Wagons, if you're getting in the right era, they do have the... The good G-Wagon. Back in my day, the G-Wagon was good. You used to crank the window by yourself, by your hand. You earned it. You did have to earn it. You had to earn the fresh air. We went to see this Everyday Ritual show downtown yesterday. What the fuck does that mean? It's an art thing. It's an art thing. It is an art thing. Everyday Ritual sounds like a creative agency that's very cool. No, it's this photographer, Max Fargo's studio, and he partnered with the Tee Whistle Ice guy. Anyway. I'll stop talking shit. It's across the street. You're just saying words that I don't know. It's across the street from the cursed Grand Central Market, and I was like, you know what? Let me hit G&B for a coffee because it is good, and we're here. So I get in line at G&B. It's not too bad.

And these two guys, like, smiley young guys, are behind me in line. Smiley young guys. They're, like, they literally are, like, 18 or 19. And they're happy and they have a great attitude. Yeah, exactly. So, and they start talking to me. And they're, like, oh, man, what's, like, have you been here before? I'm, like, yeah, actually, this used to be considered, like, LA's, like, best coffee. It's, like, a thing. And they're, like, oh, sick. What do you like? You know, what's good? And I'm, like, oh, actually, if you're feeling freaky, the fizzy hoppy tea. It's quite good, and it's weird, and I promise you've never had anything like that before. Maybe get one to share. Hold on to your mad happy hat. Exactly. They're like, oh, where do you live, bro? I'm like, oh, West Hollywood. They're like, oh, we're from Orange County. We just came up for the day to hang out. I'm like, they're so nice. It's so genuine. And I'm like... Okay, yeah, sure, man. I'm like, oh, do you like L.A.? They're like, oh, no, bro, I'm good. They're like, no, we're up here for the day. I'm going back. I love Orange County. Are they going to move up here? They're like, no, no, no, I'm good. But the story, so basically these guys are pretty funny and friendly and just nice to me. Okay, you're hitting it off. The 18-year-old, this 18-year-old guy who's asking me all these questions about coffee pays for my drink. and i was like you're in line in front of him you go to pay and he goes no no yes step aside yes this one's on me yes and i was like i was stunned at how great this interaction with a stranger was i'm so anti stranger interaction but for this kid to not only be pretty funny and not annoying and also know to pay for the coffee after asking me all these questions He's going somewhere. He's going to take over his parents' boating business in Orange County and continue to be rich. Did you guys exchange information after this? No, no. Because I feel like this is a person that you should take under your wing. No, no. Nothing like that. He'll breathe life into you and vice versa. No, but I was honestly like, damn, this is as good as this could go. So you never said, bro, what's your TikTok or anything like that? No, and it wasn't like he didn't know about the podcast. This was completely random. So he was like, what do you do? And you didn't say, I do a podcast called How Long Gone Check It Out. We didn't talk about work.

There was no talk about work. Was he fine? He was pretty good looking, yeah. Him and his buddy were both. I mean, they were good looking because they're like, you know, they're 18, 19. Yeah, you like them young. I get it. Yeah, I do. But I was just, the whole thing was, I was just, it was such a, it. renewed some of my faith in humanity that someone knew how to behave someone so young and also green like it's not like he's like oh i manage this guy i do this i do that he literally like probably goes to a good innocent fine person but key word one on that statement that you said and let's unpack this like a therapy gecko you said it renewed some of my faith in humanity whereas somebody might normally say Man, that interaction I had really renewed my faith in the future of the world. People still have dogs. People still have kids. It's shitty out there. You know what I mean? You can't... So you only give them an inch of rope. You don't give them a whole six feet. Exactly. Because that was good, but you still are a little... There's a lot more ills. Once bitten, twice shy. Exactly. There's a lot more ills that I have to deal with. But this one friendly guy who paid for my $6 cold brew, I salute you. And I think... Because I was going to pay for him and his homie. Godspeed, brother. I was literally going to pay for him and his homie because I'm like, oh, these guys are visiting. Let me just pay. I'm the old. I'm the adult. You guys should have done three white guy American Express roulette on this fucking long $12 for the coffee. But then his homeboy. I insist. His homeboy got the fizzy tea. And I see him. He's like, this is crazy. He's like, bro, it's like a beer. I'm like, yeah, man, hops. You know what I'm saying? He's like, yo. Well, little bros, Bryce and Clayton, if you're listening to this right now, there's a brand of beer called Lagunitas, which I'm sure you're very familiar with. I'm sure your family owns stock in the company, but they have their own kind of version of a fizzy hot beauty for my non-alcoholic sober chicas out there. I didn't know that.

I've never had it either, but a friend of the show, Chloe, she was drinking them. She's a sober mom, and she was like, yeah, this shit is just bomb at. The fizzy hoppy tea, it's weird because I like it a lot, but when I go there, I'm getting a coffee. You know what I'm saying? Well, that's why you've got to get the business and pleasure, Chris. Oh, because it's a mix, right? It's a three-top. First drink, a single shot of espresso. Second drink, fizzy hoppy tea shot, and third drink is a small... Almond milk iced latte. That's too much. No, no. It's a good flywheel of bittersweet, hot, cold, carbonated. They have that at Go Get Them too, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'll try that. Well, that's good. I'm glad that you had a great interaction. You didn't win the war, but you won the battle. Also, to have any sort of good happen downtown. Right. Just to make you not think about the smell of human urine for a five-minute period is a victory. A blessing in itself. Friend of the show, Uncle Polly, is aware of that smell, isn't he? He knows. I didn't even mind paying $20 to park for 45 minutes. Damn, bro. I mean, also, blue bottle across the street, to not have to go there. There's a blue bottle across the street? Yeah, right on the other side of Broadway. There's a blue bottle there. I've taken a couple meetings there when Neuhaus was under construction. Didn't go well. Yeah, you didn't close. Wasn't anything to close. You know those meetings. There were meetings with men about work. There were women. Women can make decisions in the workplace as well. No, they can't. This was just a butt sniff session. I see. They smelled. I didn't like what I smelled. I love those meetings. I love a meeting where it's like, oh, this is a waste of everybody's time. You don't fuck with me. I don't really fuck with you. And we still got. 35 more minutes of this because we both drove here and we're going to fucking finish this thing. I'm not even mad. The only way to know what's good is to know what's bad. Damn, I feel like I was just learning something like that. You've got to know what you don't know before you can fix the problem. Stick with me and Gary Vee, TJ, and you're going to find the top. I prefer Gary Black, your svelte dad.

Look, I do too. If I have to pick a Gary, he's my number one. Can we – because last episode you mentioned that your parents had a transformation. I want a side-by-side pic. We can – I can get that. I don't think – I'm unclear. I believe it's – Will your parents send me shirtless pics, please? Yeah, sure. I won't post it online. No, of course. As long as you promise not to post them. Private use only. I'm sure they'll be down, yeah. Side, front, back, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a full-on, like, the biggest loser style. I don't need under, but if we can – you know, if it's set up, then, you know. I left my ring light upstairs in my room so they can go up and grab it. Gary's going to pretend like he doesn't know where it is, isn't he? Ring light? What is that exactly? A circle? Is it like a circle? You ain't fooling nobody, Gary Black. So yeah, last night or two nights ago, we were having dinner. We were having dinner at Night Market Song. Shout out to Night Market Song. Thanks for blessing us. It's so good. I had a full vegan meal and I didn't even realize it. That's not true. You had a catfish tamale. It took two bites. It wasn't a tamale. A tamale it was not. But I just wasn't in the mood for that. I realized that we had a full vegan order. We got some sweet potato fried rice. The larb thing? Tofu larb is the one. The tofu larb thing is fucked up. It's crazy. But I realized that my body was committed to that. And then when the meat thing arrived, even if it was a fried chicken sandwich, I would have been like, hmm. Wow. I liked the road that I was taking. And then we went and saw Girl Puppy perform at the Roxy. What a sweet show to go to. That also restored some faith in the future of humanity for me. Because I'd never heard of the headliner. Neither had you. Matt Maltese? Matt Maltese, who we saw one song, and he sounded like Belle and Sebastian in a way that was like... Yeah, it's like if Belle and Sebastian was like twee TikTokers. I mean, I guess Belle and Sebastian is already as twee as I guess. It was pretty interesting, though, the sound. I did not expect him to sound like that. No, he came out, he had a little swagger of like a...

a harry styles like year one class kind of thing like he had a little bit of he had a little bit of yeah but it was like real bash sexually ambiguous and like oh don't look at me it's like when uh when you go see james blake perform and it's just him and a piano he walks out and every girl is just like throwing their bra at him and like i want you to rape my hole and he's like thank you thank you listen to my soundscape i made for headspace i'm just gonna play this one on this one song is an hour long I hope you can stick with me. Your music changed my asshole. So we were doing that, and then our chicks, all of our communal chicks that we all share polyamorously. Is that the word for it? I don't know. That's when you're switching. For listeners at home, we don't share our chicks. But all of our collective chicas were having dinner at Lowry's, and I was like, You know, my meal was great. I had this and that. And she was like, Lowry's was so good. It's a prime rib place. And she said literally, Lowry's was serving last night. Yeah, that's their job at restaurants. They serve food. I understand that reference, actually. I only went to Lowry's. Obviously, that's not for me. I just love, because my girlfriend has never talked like that, and she's never said that, and I think she's spent too much time on set recently, or too much time around people who are hair artists, not hairdressers. And she's like, this restaurant I went to was serving. They have five words that they use too much. A person in tuxedo served me a salad. I like that the night is you and I. Two guys going to dinner and then going to see an emo show, basically. Mm-hmm. You know? And these chicks are fucking chowing down on some fucking cow, you know, while we have some vegan Thai food. It was a real juxtaposition, wasn't it? Well, I mean, yes and no. It all tracks. I'm just eating little green beans and cutting them and eating them. The show, though. And they're honking down.

Just fatty brisket pieces. That place, like I said, I went there once for your birthday. I mean, it was in a parking lot at that time. I was like, I'm never coming back to this. Yeah, but you're a sober pussy. That's where football players go to eat and drink martinis. It's where you go to put in work. The only thing you can do there is like, I'm going to have some more bread. Can I have some more bread and water, please? I hate that place. I also don't love the location. Restaurant Row? It's in no man's land. It used to be a big popular land. Isn't that where the garlic place is? It's across the street from the stinking rows. But I mean, that used to be Restaurant Row. That used to be the hottest Restaurant Row in town. It's not anymore, but that's, you know, do you move? Does Mr. Chow Midtown move when Midtown took a shit? No. And now that Midtown's back, they're glad. And Restaurant Row, you know, see, life and real estate, you'll learn, Chris, is very cyclical. And you know how you said you want to know what you don't know? You know, nobody can predict the future, but they can predict cycles and maybe see the next time it comes around how we could do it better. Let's take a break. 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 that they're maybe going to be covering different stuff than we do. That's just a guess.

So we were supposed to be podcasting with Diplo today. But Diplo decided to cancel on us twice now. He's pushed us twice. The best part is... We had him booked back in January 2019 before we even started the show. But it makes me think of how nice it must be to really... There's a lot of artists that we have on the show where their PR reaches out. We could be friends with the PR person like Nick Darrell and be like, hey, do you want to do this? And it's like a very kind of... A, B conversation. It's like, here's the thing. Yes or no. It happens in two emails. We're going to do it. Yes or no. And then when you are a certain level of celebrity or higher, then your PR people are like, it's so much more. It's like they're your personal assistant. They're your therapist. You talk to them more than you talk to your family and friends. There's 10 people like them talking. But I think that the power of Big Dip is that I mean, the power move he played on you, whether accidental or not accidental, is poetry in motion. He played multiple power moves on me, and I feel like a fucking bitch. Why don't you explain what happened? Yeah, I'll pull up the DM. Do you want me to play Diplo and you play Jason? I don't mind. I don't have a great Florida accent, but...

No, just sound like two-tone. We've talked about that. Okay, so we were supposed to podcast with him on Friday. Yeah. I moved some things around. We all did. We all did. Normally, we don't podcast on Friday. No, we were doing a special Diplo edition to fit into his schedule. My tennis was cut short. Unbelievable. I was going to have to sauna afterwards. I'm sorry, Jason, this happened to you. I had to pump the brakes a bunch. And then about 38 minutes before we were supposed to record with them, you texted me like, yeah, he's going to move. He's not going to do it today. We found out an hour before he's not going to do it. And then I was like, okay. And that's cool. And that's totally fine. And that's totally cool. And then he was in Las Vegas. Where he, I mean. He's always in Las Vegas at excess, at area. Part-time resident. He's at a day club. He's at Encore. He's at nightclub. He's at Encore. He's doing it all. And, you know, maybe two hours after we were supposed to podcast, he posts a gym selfie. Classic Diplo behavior. Just putting in work. He's got blue hair. He's on the rowing machine at ARIA. Yeah. You know, just getting his fucking sweat on, sweating the 818 out of his system, whatever it is. And I responded. to his gym selfie. Bummer we couldn't podcast today, bro. And then two hours later, he wrote, why? Are you in Vegas? Come to my party. He has no idea what you're talking about. He has no idea that we were supposed to podcast. He doesn't even know that I do a podcast, probably. He just wants to. He just wants you to come in the booth, have some 818 with him, listen to some... He was just like, oh, Jeans is in Vegas. Yeah, pull up. I'm going to be DJing with DJ, you know, whatever. Him and DJ Tennis are going back-to-back 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. And then I said, no, I was just saying we were supposed to podcast today at noon. And then he replied, someone asked me yesterday on email,

And I was like, nah, I want to sleep in. It's just so sick. It's so sick. We had it scheduled for two weeks. At least. It's so funny. Honestly, though, this is like. But you can't get mad. I mean, it is just funny. How can you get mad at this? It's too funny. And it's also like. there's no way he won't eventually come do the show it will absolutely he knows it's funny we think it's much funnier yeah yeah but it is nice to i and i i appreciate that him and i we've known each other for a long time we're not close close friends but we've known each other long enough to where he can just be honest with me and be like Oh, bro, I didn't. Oh, I'm going to sleep in instead of doing the thing that we're going to do. Not make up some dumb excuse, not do some shit. Oh, bro, I'm actually dyeing my hair orange today at noon. To just say, nah, I don't want it. Bro, I was up late, Eiffel Towering. I'm sorry. You know how it is, bro. You know how it is. Yeah, so, but hey, instead of Diplo, you get us. I mean, look, I love when we open the curtain to the how long gone back end. Let people see the GitHub, kind of what's going on in there. You know what I mean? Get under that GitHub hood? That's for all my coders out there. So recently, I was thinking about this a couple days ago. When I moved to this neighborhood in Glendale, It's been like three years. I kind of got to become friends with the neighbors. The dads would come over and ask if I play golf, and we're looking for a third, and the neighbor lady across the street will bring me. Looking for a third, not for the golf course. Does that mean something different than golf? For the bedroom, I understand. You've been propositioned for a couple sets. There's a couple club swingers in Glendale. This is a swinger vibe, actually, in this neighborhood. The very room that we're sitting in right now, I'm sure if these walls could talk, they'd say, clean the cum off me. No, no, that's from your sauna is talking, but yeah. They would say, however you would scream clean the cum off of me in German, that's...

We don't have Google Translate open right now, but you kind of get where we're going with it. They take it dark over here. And then the woman across the street, she'll give us citrus, and her daughter gives us very thoughtful Christmas presents. How can we forget the palace dog bone? So thoughtful. How did they know that I was into streetwear? They've seen you walking around. So there's a... There's also another neighbor. He's like an older Japanese guy. He's very old, you know, in his 80s. Not moving so well. He has a beautiful, stunning landscape in his front yard. I'll show you after we record. And he's kind of, you know, mentally slowing down a little bit as one does. Yeah, no, I'm with him. We're all there. Some people even lose their hair at some age. That's fucked. That's fucked up. And he was looking at my, like, tattoo on my leg and he was like yeah you still got that tattoo and this thing and then he was we were talking about like sports and he's like asking me if I play basketball and I was like no I don't play basketball and then he said he's like oh you don't need you don't need to play basketball you already have a perfect body whoa Whoa, perfect body? Yeah. I mean, obviously, I don't have a perfect body. I want to be clear. Your shirt was on? My shirt was on. Okay, so you're fully clothed for this interaction. But you've seen this guy around. He might have caught you in a state of disrobe before. No, no. When COVID first started, I had my dog pound gym in the driveway. And in the summertime. The shirt was off, of course. So do you think this older Japanese gentleman was looking through the blinds maybe at TJ doing his little pull-ups? I don't know. I mean, I think because of his senality. Is that a word? Hold on. Is this guy gay or is he just an appreciator? There can only be two. There's only, look. Well, he has a female life partner.

Okay, I ask a question. Is he gay? He's a cis male presenting Japanese landscaping elder, but I've never been invited into his home, and I have never spoken with him long enough to find out what's really under the hood, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah. So, I mean, who knows what his desires are. Do you follow his playlist on Spotify? Is he sending me messages? If he's banging the new Charlie XCX, he's definitely gay. I just think that is a good test. Well, there's two different kinds of gays. Gays that like Charlie and gays that don't. Well, okay. I'm sorry. I mean, he could be... He's obviously a Charlie stan, but I don't know if he wants to make that publicly on Spotify. I understand. His playlists are private. His profile is private. I get that. A lot of my playlists are private. I don't want people knowing the kind of heat I'm sitting on. But all that is to say I have a good relationship with my neighborhood, with my community, and when I first moved here, I was welcomed. Yes, you're the court jester of Glendale. Tall king, whatever you want to – Well, you're also – I believe I'm not – I've only spent so much time in this neighborhood before I have to get back to civilization. Can't wait to see where this sentence is going. It seems like you're on the young side. Yeah. I'm a young gun. So when they see the young gun on the mound, they want to know what the slider is looking like. So they want to kind of peek around, ask some questions, kick the tires. Do you play basketball? Classic tall opener. Leading right into, can I suck your dick? How do you keep your succulents so trim in the front yard? Wow. You put the address number up. What, you painted the trim yourself? You don't even need a ladder to reach it? You're like, yeah, I was forced to do that. I was under duress. Wow, you painted the outside of your house because you couldn't afford to hire someone to do it for you? Did you notice while I was painting the outside of my house that my ankles were actually chained together? I bet you didn't. Yeah, so all that is to say, that happened when I was welcomed into my community. And I was wondering, since you recently moved, what...

What are the type of interactions? What gifts are you giving your neighbors? I haven't had a single interaction. I plan to have none. I don't want to talk to neighbors. You know what it is? Because all it is is people with dogs. In your neighborhood? Everyone's got a dog? No, I'm going to get into a fight with somebody putting dog shit into my trash can for sure. Okay, does your trash can have easy access on the sidewalk? Yeah. I'm going to have to hide it. I'm going to take it behind the gate. But it's a little bit of a, like, I'm ready to get violent. Because also somebody I didn't do, like, friend of the show, Cale, was over. Big Cale, my man. Big Cale, because he was fixing something for us. And he had parked in the, I told him to park in the driveway. And because that blocks the sidewalk, he said he got out and somebody was like, really, man? If somebody says that to me. I'm instantly going fucking turbo on them. Like, fuck off, loser. You can walk your dog [redacted address]. So you're going to fight him? What if it's a chick? I obviously wouldn't fight a chick, but I will have some harsh words. I just hate, I hate, I hate, it makes me enraged. Like, the dog shit is really turning me into a psycho. So talking, like having to talk to somebody who has a dog? Or like what? I don't want to. Every time I leave the house, all I see. And this is anywhere. This is L.A. This is like kind of L.A. in general. All I see. America is people with dogs. Like unless I move to Montana and live on 100 acres where I'm not going to see another person. All you see is people with dogs and they think that they think they are so important and their dogs exercise and their dogs bowel movements are so important that they can do that anywhere. And it makes me insane. Well, okay. I think that – In New York, you know what's nice? They sequester them into these parks. Take your dogs to the park. Let them play with the other fucking nasty dogs. Well, you still got to walk your dogs to where the park is. Sure, but it's different. It really is different. Like in Beachwood, you see these groups of fucking losers that are only friends because they see each other three times a day when they're walking their dogs. Like do you not have real friends?

Like a dog is not a replacement for personality. It's not a replacement for friends. It's crazy to me. For millions of people it is. That's pathetic. I know. But it's either do I get a dog because I have no friendship and the unabashed love that I get from this creature who welcomes me into their heart. No matter what I've done in my life? Or do I just jump off of a cliff? Or do I suck on the tailpipe? I'll jump. The fact that people get so much pleasure from a dog knowing the dog doesn't... Like, it's not a human. It's an inanimate object, basically. It has love in its heart. But sure, yeah, I'm sure it does, according to the owner who paid for it. For our listeners at home, Chris was doing air quotes when he said sure. No, no, it's honestly just crazy here. It's really crazy. We've talked about it enough. No, no, no, there's a lot to unpack here, Chris. And myself, because I'm the same way as you, I have a lot of that kind of rage in my heart, but also I'm on the other side of the coin as a person who walks two dogs around a suburban neighborhood multiple times a week. So I'm guilty of that crime, and it's something that I've thought a lot about. So on the other side of the coin, if I'm walking my dog and I walk past a house and it's got some grumpy old stinky bitch who lives there. Don't call me a grumpy old stinky bitch, okay? I'm not grumpy. Let's do some role play. Chris Black is a 63-year-old. Your neighborhood is kinky. Okay, what are we doing? Maybe you got a kid that you haven't spoken to in a long time. You got no friends. You're just kind of a bitter old bitch. I walk by, looking good. Hair on fleek, nails on fleek. Perfect body. Perfect body. Bills are paid on time. Car note paid. My nails and toes are done. Everything's on auto pay.

Do a line check, do a weave check, whatever you want to check. I'm good. I flossed already this morning. Wow. Moisturizing, the whole thing is going on. And one of my dogs decides to take a shit on this lady's lawn. You're that lady. Or do you get mad at the very act of the shit on your lawn happening? Or do you only get mad when... It is not cleaned up. Oh, no. Any part of it. Okay. Seeing the dog itself is enough. Okay. So this is something that happens all the time where I'll walk down the street. Not all the time, but a few times. And my dog, which obviously you have no control when the shit is going to happen or the pee is going to happen. It just happens. That's what it is. Yeah, I'm aware of that. Sometimes people will be very upset at me. while I'm in the act of picking the dog shit up. As they should be, because you're trespassing. No, no. But they get mad at me, and sometimes I want to yell and get into an argument with them, but I end up obviously taking the higher road. Well, no, it's because you know you don't have a leg to stand on. And I'm not talking about three legs. No, I do have a leg to stand on. I'm in the position of power, because I always say, like, hey, you're mad. If you want me to leave, I can leave. or i could pick up this dog shit and then and oh i see what you're saying so so it's kind of like if you're so mad at this happening i'll just i'll gladly leave i think the issue here is i think the issue is here that society has accepted this behavior and this is just how we've chosen to live like everybody's okay with watching humans pick shit up off the ground or leave shit on the ground we've talked about this before but and and i remember we would we talked about at what what point in human society what year But then what was the alternative? Obviously, people have been owning and walking. No dogs. No, people have been owning and walking dogs for a long time. You have to live in suburban environments. That's it. You have to have enough land where your dog only operates in your land. Let's say this neighborhood where I'm in right now, in Southern California, even 40 years ago, 1980s. It's probably booming then. Nobody picked up dog shit then.

So the alternative is, but many people have dogs. Millions of people own dogs. All I'm saying is, Jason, ban dogs. That's all I'm saying. We need to ban dogs. You need to hide the dog in your house. You know what I mean? The alternative to dog shit being picked up is dog shit not being picked up. So, like, which one do you want? I'm saying the solution is ban dogs. I know what you're saying. I understand what you mean. and you have a more logical take on this, I'm saying ban dogs. Kill them all and let God sort them out. If Biden wants to get reelected, he knows what to do. He knows what to fucking do. He's fucking everything else up. If we ban dogs, I'll vote for him. I like how this narrative has kind of stretched over time, where first we're talking about airplanes, then we're talking about restaurants, and now we're talking about just outside, just in the world. It's kind of like owning a reptile, like a snake. You got a shame attached to that. We need to have the similar kind of shame attached to it. You're a snake owner. Keep the snake inside the house. It's in the garage in this terrarium. You would never take it out. You don't even want to show people because you're embarrassed. I like that. This is good. Because I'm a diplomatic politician-minded man, we're never going to be able to ban dogs. Look, I know that. We're never going to be able to ban guns, dogs, all this stuff. But we're going to have to pivot, and we're going to have to change the narrative and start shaming people for owning dogs. And that's going to be tough to get the wheels moving at first. Not for me. But then once it gets going, the inertia will propel it. Nice dog, loser. Bet that dog cost you a lot of money, loser. Let me write down 15 or 20 of these. I'll kind of give you some note cards to study. My mind is expanding a lot in real time. This is an unedited, uncut episode, so you get to really see how the kibble is being made. Obviously, the U.S. government worked with China and Bill Gates to create the coronavirus in a Wuhan wet market in order to control the overpopulation of humans on this planet. So we need to do the same exact thing to control the overpopulation of dogs on this planet. I think since everybody's getting vaccinated, maybe there's a vaccine.

Pfizer, hear me out. It kind of turns off the dog love in the brain. Okay, we don't have to have like a dog genocide. Oh, no, no, no, no. That's too far. We need to change human behavior and understand that dogs should be treated like wild animals and not pets that are kept in the home and looked after and groomed. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like... That's what we need. So I think the next microchip, if it could include maybe a little dog thing. It's like when Congress pushes a bill through about airplane emissions, and then it's also like, and we want to make abortion illegal. Exactly. We're going to sneak it in. The bill's 400 pages long. Nobody actually reads the whole thing. You get to page 399. All of a sudden, we're reprogramming humans to not love pets. I think it'll make humans a lot better in the long run. We won't see it in our lifetime. This is obviously a selfless act that we are creating for the future of humankind. Now you get it. If we can make it that far, God willing. I mean, look, it's not looking great, but we would be a better society. And then all of the wild, actual real dogs, the coyotes, the wolves, the real American dogs, the indigenous dogs, the native dogs that were here first. Thank you very much. Those dogs... People don't talk about that very often, do they? I see many a coyote walking around. Coyotes are shot now. They're pests. They're rats. They were here first, way before this fucking Courage Bagels was here. That's a good point. This used to be coyote country. Also, the word coyote, there's no A in it ever. But everyone calls it coyote. Only because coyote sounds too Latinx to say. That's something we need to change. We have a... Look. Also, there's no E in Los Files. There's no E in it. I mean, no, there is. But it's not. The E is in a different position. Anyway, it's a Files Feliz situation. It is a coyote coyote. Say coyote again. Coyote. I love when they do that in the bowl. They take it off the cob. Welcome to Dos Coyotes. Is this an ad for...

The new tequila company? Dos Coyotes. What's it called? Dos Hombres. Dos Hombres. That's the Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad tequila. But my point was, I see many a Coyote in my neighborhood all the time. They look mangled, emaciated. They're not going to the groomer once a week. Their hair is not on fleek. Neal's not on fleek. They could use a star patch here and there on some of their nighttime blemishes. But the main fact is they're mangy and they're eating dirt and garbage. They're the tossed away species while people are spending $10,000 on a Labradoodle. Skin and bones. They look like Bella Hadid on a detox. There's nothing there. So I'm saying all these animals that we own. Once we're deprogrammed to not enjoy these little poodles anymore and we have to go to the park and say, go, go run free. Now these local native indigenous coyotes, coyotes, wolves. It's time for them to have their moment. They're going to be eating good. Their bike. They're going to be looking like Steve Harvey with a toothpick. They're going to look like Heidi Montag eating the raw steak. I ate about three fucking dogs today and ain't even lunchtime yet. What do you mean? Lowry's has turned into a new restaurant where coyotes eat dogs. That's the new prime rib. That's actually, it's more vegan to get rid of your dog. And let real animals eat these other animals. We just got to correct. In the eyes of God. I don't know if you believe in God. We don't have enough time to touch on climate change. But next podcast, maybe we'll get into that. That's right. That's right. What else do we got here, Chris? Well, we had a great dinner with Brett East Nellis. Oh, yeah. And friend of the show, Mikey. Touchdown to South Beverly. Bro, South Beverly, by the way. What the fuck?

I love the restaurant, but it's the busiest restaurant in LA. I heard them telling people it was a two-and-a-half-hour wait on a Thursday night. Well, number one, you have to make a reservation. No, I understand that, but I'm saying the fact that there's a bar full of people willing to wait that long for basically like Applebee's Plus, which I like. I want to go there more. I love it. I'll go there once a week. I like it. It's crazy to me. Also in Beverly Hills. The chokehold that the Hillstone group has on our collective culture is something impressive. They've tapped into something subconscious and psychological. No, it's beautiful. It's truly like a master class in kind of like – Because the food isn't that good. It's just comforting. But it's an upmarket experience even when you're rich. It's like – casual to rich people but nice to middle class people you know what i mean and it's and it's it's still like but you can get a stiff drink you know and all the dishes are recognizable you know there's no tweezer food yeah there's all very straightforward there's no gay shit that's what they'll say on the employee manual that's what our gay server said But I just don't – I don't know, man. I was just stunned at the – There's no micro cilantro garnish. And I've been there enough to where I'm like, I know this is how it is, but I still – but Houston's is like that. Houston, all of them are like that. But when are we going to hit the final frontier of banderas? Banderas? There's a bandero. I think it's banderas. I don't know. I mean, we can do it – Is it good? I haven't been. I think it's just – I think it's just the same thing as going to Houston's, but... Instead of shrimp cocktail, you get chips and guac. No, I mean, they probably have shrimp cocktail, but it's like with pico de gallo instead of cocktail sauce. I think they just add, you know, 10%. Oh, it's a Mexican flair. It's not a Mexican eatery. I'm only speculating, but that's what I think is going on where they'll have like...

Like, if you go to the nicest Mexican restaurant in, like, Scottsdale, Arizona, where everyone is white and, like... You can get the truffle quesadilla? We don't want super authentico. Yeah. We still want to have, like, a white English-speaking server. We want to just dip our toe in the Latinx jacuzzi. It's not like you going to Skid Row to get a breakfast burrito that's made by two brothers. It's more of, like... There's not hand-pressed blue corn tortillas with... These tortillas are from Cisco Foods. Yes. My favorite purveyor. You guys keep going to the farmer's market? I'm ordering from Cisco Foods. These house-made tortilla chips are actually from Smart E Final. You know, like when you were in middle school and you were... Smart E Final. I'll go to my friend's house in middle school or something like that, and it's just the whitest fucking people you've ever seen in your life. They look like they own a fucking pharmaceutical company. We weren't friends in middle school. Don't do this. People that make your family look fucking... Flavorful? Quite indigenous. Spicy? Yeah, people that make your family look like... I'm trying to think of the right ethnic group. Tongan, maybe? Maybe. Be careful with this. Yeah, I will. I'll backtrack it. Just the widest, widest motherfuckers. What would they do on Mexican night? It would be like we were going to have enchilada night, and it was just like the can of enchilada sauce from the grocery store. Dumped. Poured over, you know, mission tortillas that have just cheese, just like craft shredded cheese. They just put that in a tortilla, roll it up, cover it in this enchilada sauce, and you just eat that. Like, that's the kind of vibe that I'm hoping Bandera's will be. But it'll be a higher quality, of course. Of course it'll be a higher quality. Maybe a table-side guac is what I'm hoping for. Do you think the guac will be chunky? It'll be just chunky enough. I hope there's no tomatoes in it. You don't like a little tomato in the guac? Come on, bro. I don't like that. That's fine. There's a podcast. Have you heard of this podcast called Dead Eyes? No. Is that an orchid song?

Nice reference. That's deep. It was a very popular podcast in the last few years, but it kind of came to a culmination. The whole idea of it is this actor. There's been like three or four seasons. There's an actor who was auditioning for Band of Brothers, the HBO show. Oh, I've heard about this. Starring Tom Hanks, and he got fired by Tom Hanks because he thought this guy had dead eyes. This is exactly the kind of podcast I could not care less about. Dorks going so deep on something that doesn't matter at all, and I guarantee you nothing interesting ever happens. Well, that's kind of the funny part about it. I mean, I listened to the first season, a few episodes, and he has John Ham on, some big celebrities that talk to him about it. And that part of the journey, it's the type of thing where if you have a goal of your podcast, at a certain point, you're going to either just fizzle out or you're going to reach that goal. And like a week or two ago, he finally has Tom Hanks on the podcast. But the problem is like the first season, it's like talking about all these things and interviewing Jon Hamm about like what it's like to be an actor and failing and callbacks. And like that part's kind of interesting. And it could just, the show could have just been that. And then it finally culminates with Tom Hanks learning about it from like his son. And Tom Hanks being like, who, what? And Tom Hanks comes on the podcast and he, and it's basically just like, All right, Tom, do you remember 20 years ago when you fired me for having dead eyes? And he's like, I have no idea. Of course. That's what I mean. And then that's it. And then the show is over. Where do you go from there? All of those kind of podcasts like that, like they drag the shit out, dramatize everything, and then it's like no one actually cares. The only person that cares is the person making it. I think the problem is anyone can make – like this guy just made this podcast on his own. He didn't have the guardrails of Netflix or Hulu being like, hey, you got to have an end to this. But also, you want this thing to never end, ideally. But yeah, there's many true crime podcasts where it's like, we're going to figure out what happened to the disappearance of Diane on March 14th. I've heard a lot of people. And at the end of the episode, the end of the season, they're like, we still haven't found her.

Well, it's like the Beanie Babies documentary where they never interviewed the founder. I'm like, you did this. You interviewed a bunch of fucking moms that sold them, but you didn't interview the guy who started it? You couldn't get the guy? This shouldn't have gotten made. But I think a lot of people say that about the true crime. I mean, obviously, those are still the most popular podcasts, but people are kind of like, some of these just don't go anywhere. It's like, what are we talking about? Nothing happens. It's about the journey, not the destination. You also have to eventually have a destination or else people are going to lose interest very quickly. It's like the episode of Reply All where it was like the call center episode of Reply All when they went to India and then nothing happened. It was insane. And the music was so fucking dramatic and it was so dramatic. And I was like, that's it? You found the guy? And the guy was like, yeah, it was me. Like, what the fuck? But once you get to a certain point, you're like, well, we have to. We've built this up to the point where we have to deliver. Our team of 12 people have already spent $400,000 to find out. Thanks to Amazon Studios, we were able to produce this podcast that went absolutely nowhere for two years. Okay, this is the new rule for podcasting stuff. Since anyone can just start a podcast and make it for free and put it out and be whatever you want, if you're going to do something like that, finish it first and then upload it. Don't just put the first episode up and then see where it goes. Yeah, we don't want to see where it goes because it doesn't go anywhere fast. HBO doesn't say like, all right, let's just do one episode and then see how they like it. Let's just figure it out. We'll do this one. It's called a pilot. We'll air it and then we'll just kind of see where it goes. Podcast pilot's not a bad idea. Are you saying we're in an ever changing media landscape? I've heard that we are. I've heard that we're in an ever changing media landscape. But I just love the idea of this whole because it was like a kind of like a failing, struggling actor. Yeah. He finds podcast success with this thing. And now he's failing. It was a huge it's a huge, big podcast. And he's probably making, you know, great six figure salary every year off of this. And now and now what?

No, he's fucked. Where do you go? He's an actor again. Now he's an actor with no job. I mean, maybe though... Maybe he'll be able to squeeze some juice out of that rock after it's done. He probably will be. I mean, just based on our society and the way that people that do Love is Blind make money. I hope this guy can make money. He deserves it more than fucking Shake does from season two. Season two Shake. We all know who that is, right? You do, right? I don't... I don't know who that is. I've never seen Love is Blind. Is it Blind People? That new Oscar movie about the deaf parents, right? Coda. Coda. I'm going to see it next time I take an airplane. I have so little interest in that movie, and it's being forced down our throats. Every billboard in L.A. is Coda. The amount of money they're spending on that movie, which I've never heard anybody talk about until the other night. I heard about it like two years ago because Moshe Kesher, that comedian, was talking about being like a consultant on it because his parents are both deaf. Oh, yeah. I knew that about him. And I remember hearing him talk about being like some type of consultant on it a few years ago or something. Can you imagine that? Like your life is so difficult because your parents are deaf and then you finally cash out from Apple being like, can you tell us what it's like to have deaf people around? I mean, I don't know if cashing out is, you know, you probably got free money. Yeah, I mean, how much money is he going to get to consult, though? Well, it's probably more than comedy. He's going to get, like, four grand. No, no, no, no, no. More than that. More than that? More than that. If he has to be on set and shit. No, it depends. I mean, he's got an agent and shit. You can milk people for that. I mean, a lot of people make a lot of money. Like, cops make a lot of money doing that. And, like, FBI guys retire. He wouldn't have said that.
