905. - Emily Oberg

Speaker A: All right, uh, 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 3 times a week. Jason, does that sound familiar to you? Speaker B: 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.

Speaker A: All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. How long gone? Uh, another day in paradise. It's Chris Black coming to you from, uh, Manhattan. Them jeans, what's really good, baby? Speaker B: Let's see here. Thursday, I'm just drinking a little green tea with ginger. You know, there's, there's a nip in the air again, unfortunately. Speaker A: I've been hearing tales of rain. Speaker B: Is that— Speaker A: yeah, you confirm or deny those rumors? Speaker B: We had on the record, we had some drops a couple days ago.

I'm not gonna bullshit you, I'm not gonna sit here and lie to your face, but yeah, it was a little bit, a little bit, but you know, it's fine, it's fine. Um, you know, and we're gonna get some more this weekend, this V-Day weekend. Other than like dog walking, there's not really much of a life-changing hassle whenever it's kind of— it's fun. It's like a novel thing. It's a novel thing unless you like drive your car off a cliff or something bad, you know. Speaker A: You don't have any cliffs where you live.

Speaker B: As long as you survive. Speaker A: Yeah, I was— I sent you earlier a new product that I was looking into. Lil Bow Wow, or excuse me, just Bow Wow, has released his own beaded turban, um, that is to be worn. Speaker B: I'm sorry, you sent me this, or I said this? Speaker A: I said this to the group chat, uh, with you and David Cho. If you just want to pull it up, it's Red Premium New Beaded Tassels and Patterns Bow Wow Satin Lined Halo Turban. Um, it looks like it's a collaboration.

He's also the model. And I just find this to be— I just— something about this when I scrolled by— this is, this is the kind of shit I see on Twitter. When I scrolled by this, I just had to share it with the squad because it It's just such a shocking— something about it is shocking. Speaker B: Well, I mean, it is AI-generated, so there is that. But this feels like some mess that white people are not really allowed to comment on. Speaker A: I would agree with you, except— Speaker B: I'm looking at a bow wow.

This is a satin-lined halo turban. It's beaded, it's tasseled. There's one of the flavors. It's called Jersey Cheetah. One of them is Velvet Brown. Yeah, you're right. This is best that we— yeah, we can't, we can't even wade into these waters, Chris. Speaker A: Okay, I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. I apologize because I'm just thrown off because the Tate brothers are in New York and I'm worried I'm going to run into them. Klavikler is in New York. So it's the energy is off in Manhattan today with all, all these goons.

Speaker A: Okay, I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. I apologize because I'm just thrown off because the Tate brothers are in New York and I'm worried I'm going to run into them. Klavikler is in New York. So it's the energy is off in Manhattan today with all, all these goons. Speaker B: Klav is— who's Klav walking for again? Speaker A: I honestly, I luckily D Squared doesn't show in New York, so I don't know. Speaker B: Oh yeah. Yeah. That's honestly, that's a good like who's most likely likely to have him.

Speaker A: Dolce Gabbana would do it maybe. I, I don't— I honestly don't know. I don't know if a New York brand— I, I think that a New York brand or a brand that shows in New York would, would probably, uh, know better. Speaker B: Um, I, I would, I would think Elena Vázquez. Is that what it is? Oh yeah, she might. Speaker A: But I feel like— I, I feel like she might do it. Speaker B: That's— that would be my— if I had to pick one. Speaker A: I wonder what he is doing here.

It is, it is interesting timing. Maybe he's getting paid to go to an event. Maybe he's hosting. Maybe he's looking for a new, um, chin hammer, you know. I don't know, it could, it could be, it could be a range, it could be a range of things. Speaker B: I just asked Lauren Sherman, uh, apparently clavicular. He's walking Stella McCartney, and then the Tate brothers are gonna do, um, Loewe and Kate. Speaker A: I mean, imagine the Tate brothers, those two fucking goons. I mean, it's really funny to see them all in New York.

Like, imagine seeing, walking through Times Square like annoyed as hell, and you look over and it's Andrew Tate and his brother with a cameraman like with an iPhone gimbal, getting like a 360 shot of them staring up at New York's worst neighborhood. Speaker B: I would be annoyed that you can't do anything to them because they probably have all those security guards. Speaker B: I would be annoyed that you can't do anything to them because they probably have all those security guards. Speaker A: I'm not— yeah, I ain't trying to step to those guys.

Speaker B: They're— Speaker A: those guys are protected. Speaker B: Yeah, they're protected. Um, our friend of the show, I wanted to give a shout out to the, the Free Sky Ferreira movement. Apparently she's finally free and they're, and they're shutting down the movement. Speaker A: Hold on. Speaker B: Grand opening, grand closing. Speaker A: So you're saying the movement has been active for years urging, urging the label to let her out of the contract was the cause, correct? Speaker B: Yes. Speaker A: And you're saying that, you're saying that she's now out of the contract.

So the Twitter account's going dark. Speaker B: Yeah. They said the work, our work here is done. Speaker A: Pretty cool to not pivot it depending on how many followers you have and try to, you know, free someone else. You know, I would think maybe there's, there's no one else on their radar right now. Speaker B: Yeah. Stereo Gum says Sky Ferrer, free Sky Ferrer account is shutting down because Sky Ferrer is free. Speaker A: I mean, look, it makes a lot of sense logically. Speaker B: It's just, it's just rare, I guess.

I mean, obviously it's good news that, you know, our, our friend and musical gift is now free from the predatory record label contract that she was held in for years. So we are restoring some sanity and peace into her life. Bless up. But it's just weird where you hear some, some fuckery like this go down and then they're like, okay, we did it. It's all done. Speaker A: You know, it works out good for me timing-wise because I started this when I was in high school and now I'm an adult with a job and it's good for me to kind of move on from this, I think.

That is, I mean, God bless the movement. At least one movement worked. Speaker A: You know, it works out good for me timing-wise because I started this when I was in high school and now I'm an adult with a job and it's good for me to kind of move on from this, I think. That is, I mean, God bless the movement. At least one movement worked. Speaker B: I agree. One, we're working small to big here in terms of our world's pains and woes. But yeah, there's a comment on here.

But Ash the God says it's finally backwards. Speaker C: Free Sky till it's backwards. Speaker B: It is finally backwards. Speaker A: It's finally, you know, thank God it's finally backwards. Speaker B: Bravo. Speaker A: That's really fucking funny, actually. Speaker B: Oh, maybe do you think that all these people are in New York because the Polymarket grocery store is open? Speaker A: I didn't know. Did Polymarket open a grocery? Are they competing with Meadow Lane? Speaker B: Yes, Polymarket is doing New York's first free grocery store on 7th Ave.

Jesus Christ. It is today until the 16th. I guess if you're white, you get free groceries. This seems like how it works. And then they have a food bank donation on the 16th. Speaker A: We might have to unfortunately ban Polymarket from this podcast as well. This is getting into— Speaker B: Oh, okay. Speaker A: This is getting into MOG territory where it's being applied too liberally from everyone. It's the new AI as far as getting the terminology thrown around unnecessarily. Speaker B: So is it maybe because we're Is it because we're using polymarket as like a descriptor noun too early in the game?

Like it has become the Kleenex. Speaker B: So is it maybe because we're Is it because we're using polymarket as like a descriptor noun too early in the game? Like it has become the Kleenex. Speaker A: Exactly. Speaker B: We're giving everything, everything just can't be polymarket. Speaker A: We're giving them too much. We're giving them too much. You know, I don't think, I don't think that feels— Speaker B: we need to free Chris from the polymarket. Free Chris movement. Speaker A: Free Chris. Yeah. Free Chris movement. I want to give a shout out to Margaret Qualley.

Um, for looking hot on the COVID of the new— Speaker B: pull your cues up— Speaker A: Vanity Fair, holding a— the I Love New York Chanel t-shirt. Not wearing, holding. Um, we need to say RIP to the GOAT, James Van Der Beek. Speaker B: Yeah, man. Speaker A: Dawson's Creek, an eye-opener for all of us. It's actually really sad. I mean, he was pretty— he's like our age, you know what I mean? He's like a little old. Speaker B: Yeah, he was 48. Varsity Blues legend in a lot of stuff.

Speaker A: He had 14 kids, uh, which I don't know. No, not actually, but he's got like 6. He has a lot of kids. Speaker B: Okay. A lot of kids put in work. Okay. Speaker A: But, you know, you know, the fucked up thing is, is that he went out doing what he loves. He didn't get paid. They didn't get paid for reruns. Speaker B: So he's like, oh, for Dawson's. Speaker A: Yeah. So like, they have a GoFundMe for the family because I think they're broke after all the cancer treatments and shit, which is even crazy because that seems like a— that was like a pivotal, like, show that you should never have to work again if you were on a show like that for fucking 10 seasons.

Speaker B: One would think, you know what I mean? That's— Speaker A: that's not— he's one of the greats, but, you know, God bless him. Speaker B: Yeah, good, good comedic actor in a few other roles later on. Once, once he was an adult, he was good at kind of playing a guy who is self-aware of his own celebrity and would kind of wink at the camera and like a little— Speaker B: One would think, you know what I mean? That's— Speaker A: that's not— he's one of the greats, but, you know, God bless him.

Speaker B: Yeah, good, good comedic actor in a few other roles later on. Once, once he was an adult, he was good at kind of playing a guy who is self-aware of his own celebrity and would kind of wink at the camera and like a little— Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, very much. Speaker B: I guess who like Neil, Neil Patrick Harris kind of style where it's like, you know, I made it through the child actor gauntlet. Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Speaker B: You know, I'm a little fucked up, I'm a little affected, but I'm aware of it.

I'm going to kind of poke fun at it. And that's my, my way of getting through the darkness versus, you know, Perk 30s and— well, speaking of perks, Cutty Sark and driving your car. Speaker A: Cutty Shark. Speaking of perks though, we got a— we got King Down from what you sent me yesterday. Speaker B: Oh yes, our dear friend, hip-hop impresario with one of the best names, rapper Geechi Gotti arrested in West Chester, Ohio. We get it in Ohio, to quote Cam'ron. But he had— I was commenting on— I mean, he's— Speaker A: he had the pack.

Speaker B: I want— as somebody who enjoys a pharmaceutical abuse, I want you— I'm going to read what he was officially checked in with, uh, into the evidence bin, and let's see if all of these made it out of the old evidence bin. See, what do you think this punishment is going to be? 860— 816 OxyContin pills, 150 60 mg morphine. Oh, big dog morphine. Speaker A: Oh wow. Okay. Speaker B: 1,083, uh, Vicodin and 702 Percocet. Speaker A: Okay. That's okay. Speaker B: That's, um, does that transcend intent to distribute?

Speaker A: And that's like, yeah, that's intent. That's, that's attempted murder. I think at that point, I, yeah, I don't know if, um, I don't know how much jail. I'm not familiar with the laws of Ohio. I'm sure they're, um, quite strict just based on the, the sort of geographical location of being in the Midwest. I feel like those guys are, those guys make no bones about it over there. But I got to say that the street value on that is quite high. So Geechi is going to be, well, he's going to be down bad.

Not just from, not just from Jeremy. Speaker B: Somebody in the comments replied, how much is that worth on the streets estimation-wise? We have 3 replies. No, this is not Grog. This is the streets. TdubO says they're likely not doing hand-to-hand. So I would say $35,000 to $40,000. And then Ola Govito says rough estimate $56,000 on the low end based on Houston prices, assuming he's not doing any wholesale and going pill for pill. Vicodin at $12, Percos currently at $20, and morphines we can, you know, high end max out at maybe $30.

And then the, uh, the 30-gram oxys as well, $30. Speaker A: So, and then lastly, I thought the price would have gone up a little bit. Speaker B: Lastly, RAQ Rock Riz replies with a simple 62. Speaker A: Okay, these— Speaker B: I'm gonna believe him. Speaker A: I gotta say, these numbers are very specific in a way that makes me believe all of them in some regard. But I think that 100%— I think that the— I, I guess, you know, it's interesting because Percs are the name brand now of sort of like it— that term just feels like a blanket for all painkillers in the streets.

But the— I mean, $20, you know, I used to be able to get a Perc for $10. Speaker A: So, and then lastly, I thought the price would have gone up a little bit. Speaker B: Lastly, RAQ Rock Riz replies with a simple 62. Speaker A: Okay, these— Speaker B: I'm gonna believe him. Speaker A: I gotta say, these numbers are very specific in a way that makes me believe all of them in some regard. But I think that 100%— I think that the— I, I guess, you know, it's interesting because Percs are the name brand now of sort of like it— that term just feels like a blanket for all painkillers in the streets.

But the— I mean, $20, you know, I used to be able to get a Perc for $10. Speaker C: Jason. Speaker B: I mean, it's not, it's not the preferred, you know, let's get you to bed, grandpa. Let's get you to bed now. I just want to see your 30 was already. Speaker A: I just, I just like to see inflation touching all industries. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker A: That could affect, that could affect us. All right. We have a guest today. Speaker B: Oh, by the way, Oberg, Oberg said she's 5 late.

Speaker A: Okay. Never mind. I guess we'll, we'll continue to talk about, okay. Speaker B: Yeah. Let's see here. What else? We have, um, yeah, we can just talk about Pils some more. Yeah, um, the Margaret Qualley Vanity Fair cover. She, uh, do you think she tried to do the lip bite and then, um, and then the photographer was like, let's do one without, let's try one without the lip bite? You know what I mean? Speaker A: She can do whatever she wants, bro. I don't know. I mean, I think it's— Speaker B: wow, are you, are you a stan?

Are you a qualifier? Speaker A: Not even, not— I mean, I've never— I'm a qualifier. I've never seen her in anything. At all. And she's married to Jack. I guess she was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, right? A little bit. Speaker A: She can do whatever she wants, bro. I don't know. I mean, I think it's— Speaker B: wow, are you, are you a stan? Are you a qualifier? Speaker A: Not even, not— I mean, I've never— I'm a qualifier. I've never seen her in anything. At all. And she's married to Jack.

I guess she was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, right? A little bit. Speaker B: Did you see that? Speaker A: I did see that, but I, I, I've— so I've never— I know her more as Andy McDowell's daughter and Jack Antonoff's, uh, wife. Yeah, I do like her. I just— something about her swag gives me old Hollywood that I really appreciate. Like, that cover feels like it could have been in 1998, and I like that. And also, it feels like glamorous. Speaker B: Pair it with the, uh, the, the Sydney Sweeney Cosmo cover, and we do have a little bit a return to form where it's just like, what's the COVID idea?

Um, solid color background, tits, and, uh, just glam makeup, big hair. Yeah, big hair, correct lighting. And it's just, you know, boom, back to— Speaker A: I mean, I think Mark knows what works, you know, based on— I mean, I think the first cover with all the, the male actors on it was so good and such a throwback. And people didn't— people were so mad there weren't any women. And it's like, that's the whole thing. They did this every— they used to do this. Speaker B: There's no way. Well, every other magazine puts women on their Men of the Year cover, so I guess Exactly.

We got to get like, let's— how come I only got A$AP Rocky wearing socks on the beach? I ain't got no damn— where's Rita Ora at in this mix? How come Bianca Sensory isn't there? Speaker A: Sending next to me, I got A$AP Rocky in socks and no shirt and I can't get one Bianca Sensory on the COVID of Vanity Fair. This is fucking bullshit. Speaker A: Sending next to me, I got A$AP Rocky in socks and no shirt and I can't get one Bianca Sensory on the COVID of Vanity Fair.

This is fucking bullshit. Speaker B: Yeah, this is fucking bullshit. Okay. Yes, we do. We do have a guest today. Her name is Emily Oberg. She's a an old friend of ours, and she has never done How Long Gone, which is a little odd. One of those, one of those rare mishaps. But I think much like a nice, uh, a nice stew, it took a little time to really get ready to serve, you know what I mean? Oberg had to marinate. Speaker A: I'm sure she's gonna double park the 911 or the G-Wagon and come in here.

We'll put the— she's gonna plop her new Speedy down with her and just start spraying. I think she's going to be turned up. I bet she had her matcha and her bone broth and she's going to be ready to talk her shit from Beverly Hills. Speaker B: It's so— it hasn't— it's not, uh, it's not an hour or days, but more of a minute since her last colonic. So she's free and clear. Mental, mental clarity is peaking. Speaker A: Do you think before she does How Long Gone, the NAD shot goes in the neck just for sort of an extra, an extra little boost?

You know what I mean? It feels like that could that could push it over the edge, you know what I mean? Speaker C: She— Speaker B: yeah, she's got a little bullet in her Speedy bag just, and it's filled with creatine for just like a little quick— it's good for the cognition actually when I do my media appearances. Speaker A: It's not just about my body, it's also about my mind, you know? And I need to— Speaker B: dude, I totally agree. Speaker A: I need to— I need to be firing on all mfing cylinders, you know?

Speaker A: It's not just about my body, it's also about my mind, you know? And I need to— Speaker B: dude, I totally agree. Speaker A: I need to— I need to be firing on all mfing cylinders, you know? Speaker B: Okay, let's give her a James— Speaker A: give her a buzz. This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by our best friends at BetterHelp.

Having someone with you to listen, to understand, and to support you can really make all the difference. Speaker B: I agree, Chris. And sometimes, you know, it, it's nice to be talking to somebody even if they're not even listening, even if you don't even get to be in the same room with them, because what you're doing is you're admitting these things to yourself.

Emily Oberg is here.

You're reporting live from your kitchen on your Mac Studio with your wired headphones. No Bluetooth, no 5G, right? Speaker C: No 5G near this brain. Speaker A: Can I ask you a question? Can I ask you a question? Speaker B: 5G doesn't come near this brain. Speaker A: Can I ask you a question? Why do you— what are you doing with a Mac Studio? Do you just like the way it looks, or do you need the computing capabilities? Speaker C: I need the capabilities. I'm working with extremely large files every day.

Speaker A: Pause. Speaker B: Okay, how— oh, so how long have you been a CGI graphics video editor for, Emily? Speaker A: Yeah, I, I've seen the PDFs. Speaker B: I'm pretty sure my MacBook Pro can open up the fucking, uh, the SKU chart even if it is a big PDF. Speaker C: No, the files are massive. So Adobe Illustrator needs a lot of power. Okay, to work quickly, otherwise it's super slow and I can't use like a normal— okay, okay, just MacBook. Speaker A: Wow, okay, okay. Speaker B: So what do you do?

And also, I know you like to game, but you do that in the bedroom Yeah, big gamer. Speaker A: Okay, so you have it because your files are just too big, but when you're on the road, you're able to make it work on a laptop, but you don't like it? Speaker C: No. Yeah, I like sitting at a desk and having like a large screen and a keyboard and a mouse and a mousepad. Speaker B: Is there going to be a point— like, you're already like boss bitch level. Is there going to be a point where your assistant has the Pelican case with the iMac and it just travels with you and he sets it up in the hotel?

That sounds kind of nice. I like that. Speaker A: That's my goal. Speaker C: Yeah. Like in Succession where they like set up the conference room. Speaker B: Set up the Bloomberg terminal in the hospital. Speaker C: That's my goal. I need the terminal now. Speaker A: That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Okay. Speaker A: That's my goal. Speaker C: Yeah. Like in Succession where they like set up the conference room. Speaker B: Set up the Bloomberg terminal in the hospital. Speaker C: That's my goal. I need the terminal now.

Speaker A: That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Okay. Speaker B: If you're dating Emily Oberg and listening right now, start saving up for that Bloomberg terminal. Valentine's Day is around the corner. Speaker A: Literally, literally around the corner. Just 2 days away. All right. So you don't use— so even when you're in the gym getting your little pump on, you're using wired headphones? Speaker C: Oh yeah, I'm really not even using— I'm not listening to things really when I'm in the gym. Speaker B: But you're, you're, you're like doing Pilates where they're playing music for you when you're— Speaker C: No, I mean, I do classes, I see a trainer, but when I go to the actual gym gym, which I do, I just like to think.

Speaker B: Wow. Speaker C: I don't like to listen. Speaker A: That's scary. I do not want to be inside Emily Oberg's brain on the 5th set of fucking chest presses. That is a scary place to be. Speaker B: Okay. I think that you have reached that. That's like the ultimate. Ultimate goal is to go in without Joe Rogan on your headphones while you're doing your deadlift. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker A: That is impressive. Speaker B: Just you and your twisted little thoughts. Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Speaker A: I couldn't do it.

Speaker B: I couldn't do it. Speaker A: No fucking way. Speaker B: Okay. So while you're in the gym, are you thinking about— I know that you love to eat. Are you figuring out what you're going to have for lunch? Speaker C: No, I'm thinking about work. I'm working in my head all the time. Speaker A: You need to calm down. What are you going to get done in that hour? Maybe let the brain float. You know what I mean? Just let it go a little bit. You need to— I think you need to— do you think you need to de-stress?

Do you think you're too wound up? Speaker C: No, I'm thinking about work. I'm working in my head all the time. Speaker A: You need to calm down. What are you going to get done in that hour? Maybe let the brain float. You know what I mean? Just let it go a little bit. You need to— I think you need to— do you think you need to de-stress? Do you think you're too wound up? Speaker C: Yeah, but I definitely have been better at like taking real weekends as normal people do and like trying not to think about work or do anything work-related.

Speaker A: What's your phone usage looking like on the weekend? Are you able to put it down? Speaker C: Yeah, I can definitely put it down. Like, I try. I don't like— Speaker A: what about the selfies though? Speaker C: I don't like to email my team on the weekend. Selfies, yeah, but like No, I'm usually— honestly, I'm pretty good. Speaker B: Like, I'm not really on my phone, but it doesn't take 8 hours to take a selfie by the pool. You know, you're done, you post it 30 seconds in and out.

Speaker A: Yeah, you actually— I heard that before. You don't, um, you actually— well, I feel like, I feel like you, you don't strike me as a person that's addicted to their phone, actually, at all. Not at all. That's not something I've ever thought about in relation to you, which is impressive. Speaker C: Really? That's like a big compliment. Speaker A: No, I just feel like, I just feel like you don't need to. I don't know. I think some people, I don't think you need the info. I'm like addicted to information.

I don't think you're addicted to information. I think it's two different things. Speaker C: I don't want any information. I just, I want as little information as possible. Speaker A: That's why, that's the gift. Speaker B: We want to see commas when we open up the Wells Fargo checking and that's about, that's the only info we need. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker A: What's your most used app? And don't say Bank of America. Speaker C: I don't want any information. I just, I want as little information as possible. Speaker A: That's why, that's the gift.

Speaker B: We want to see commas when we open up the Wells Fargo checking and that's about, that's the only info we need. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker A: What's your most used app? And don't say Bank of America. Speaker C: Most used app? I mean, probably like Instagram or Pinterest. Speaker A: Okay, that's classic. Speaker B: But you're— but I wanted, I wanted to ask you, speaking of, of bygone apps, Chris is the only person I know who still is an avid Tumblr user, and I feel like you might still be in the trenches as well.

Speaker C: I have— I've heard it's great. I haven't used it. Honestly, Pinterest is amazing. Like, it sounds so basic and like kitschy. Speaker B: But you used— you used to use Tumblr back in the day though. Speaker C: Oh yeah, I was huge on Tumblr. Speaker A: She doesn't— she doesn't mean just her pictures float around. She means she was a power user. Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker A: Not just the inspiration she provided for so many people. She means that like she was actually using it. Speaker B: There's some great black and whites back then.

A lot of good grain. Speaker A: No, people love Pinterest. I just never used it. But it does seem— it's very similar to Tumblr in the way that it's like, yeah, the easiest way to do it. Speaker B: What would you do if you caught your man looking on Pinterest, Emily? He does on the couch. Speaker C: I tell him to go Pinterest to get references and do research. Speaker A: That's crazy. That's actually crazy, fellas. Speaker B: That's cute. Speaker A: You can't be on Pinterest. That is crazy. Speaker C: Yeah.

Speaker B: What are you— what are you doing, like picking out your tablescape for your wedding? Bitch, look on Pinterest. Speaker A: That's crazy. That's actually crazy, fellas. Speaker B: That's cute. Speaker A: You can't be on Pinterest. That is crazy. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker B: What are you— what are you doing, like picking out your tablescape for your wedding? Bitch, look on Pinterest. Speaker C: That's what everyone thinks it is. It really has a bad rep. Speaker B: No, I know, I know. It has like— Speaker C: rebranding Pinterest.

Speaker A: That'd be a good idea for free. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker B: Would you do— for— would you do SpawnCon for Pinterest? Speaker A: No, no. Speaker B: Would you do, would you do like a, a comprehensive brand deal with Pinterest? Speaker C: No, I've been offered a lot of sponcon things in the last few years. I can't, I don't have the time or energy. Also, like sitting down and like making a reel or like doing any sort of like content, it's like, sounds like literal hell. Like I can't imagine.

Speaker A: You're telling us. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker A: We have to do, we have to do this shit. Speaker B: Okay, well, Emily, what if, what if On your level, what if you sit down and make this hellish content, but instead of getting, you know, $10 grand, you could buy another house? You know, like, we'll give you $3 million, it's going to be a shitty week for you. You're going to say yes? Speaker C: Yes. If it's in the six figures, sure. Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it's tough to everybody.

I feel like it is. I feel like you don't— I think most people in your position do that stuff. And I do feel like you have slowed down, but it's not necessarily consciously. It's just sort of like, I don't have time for this, so I don't want to do it. Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, there's been things that are like, yeah, that's cool. But it's like, I don't want to add more to my plate. Like, that's not my goal. Sure. Speaker A: But even if you had— okay, well, fair enough.

I thought you were a bag chaser. Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, there's been things that are like, yeah, that's cool. But it's like, I don't want to add more to my plate. Like, that's not my goal. Sure. Speaker A: But even if you had— okay, well, fair enough. I thought you were a bag chaser. Speaker B: You don't want to add more to your plate, but you're like, let's make vibrators. Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, that one was— don't know why I did that. I mean, it's fun and I love it, but like, no time.

Speaker B: Okay. Speaker C: Okay. Speaker A: Is it okay? How is that bus— how is that business doing? And what has the response been? Speaker C: The response was amazing. I mean, it was some of the best press and coverage I've ever got in my career. The response has been great. Like, so many cool, interesting people, like, love the brand. Um, and I, I love the brand. I think it's so cool, like, the image, the products. I'm like such a fan, not just because it's my brand, because I think it's cool.

But I have no time, so I can't do it. Speaker A: So it's just like sitting there. Well, okay, what is the— okay, it seems harder to manufacture maybe than some things, I would guess. It's not, it's not, because it's just like, okay, it's just like go to China, it's electronics. Speaker C: Yeah, they know how to please a woman over in those Chinese They're known for that in the Chinese factories. Speaker A: They're dealing with difficult white women all the time. Speaker B: Because you had the mouth spray that was flavored, but it also makes it a moist environment.

Speaker C: Yeah, lubricates the mouth. Speaker B: But that's not a thing that I— Chris, were you aware of that product market? Speaker A: I was not. No, I was not. I mean, I was made aware of it by Emily's— Speaker C: You're not my target audience. Speaker B: Aggressive. Well, I mean, like, we know about the standard sex toy, you know, pleasure market. Lube. Speaker C: Yeah, lubricates the mouth. Speaker B: But that's not a thing that I— Chris, were you aware of that product market? Speaker A: I was not.

No, I was not. I mean, I was made aware of it by Emily's— Speaker C: You're not my target audience. Speaker B: Aggressive. Well, I mean, like, we know about the standard sex toy, you know, pleasure market. Lube. Speaker C: Standard. Speaker B: Okay. But, but obviously you break all of the rules and when— and the mouth spray was— so is that something that you— that like somebody presented to you like, hey, this is also big in the space, or did you have your mind set on certain flavors and things like that?

Speaker C: No, I had— so one of my good friends, her husband is like the biggest sex toy manufacturer in the US. Speaker B: Okay. Speaker C: So that's kind of how this whole brand was conceived. So I went to their headquarters and they had like all of the sex toy products that basically are available on the market. Speaker A: Yeah. Speaker C: And they just showed me a bunch of stuff and I like was like, okay, this is what I like. Let's change this. Speaker A: Can you remind me of the flavors of the mouth spray again, please?

Speaker C: Watermelon, peach, and pineapple. Speaker B: Something funny about this. Speaker A: Oh my God. Sounds like— sounds like fucking Rick Ross promoting vodka. Speaker B: I'm a foodie. I love flavor combos. All those are the top 3 flavors that pair well. With cum. So I think it's a wise choice, wise choice to do those three just to start out with. At least. Chris, are you frozen? Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: Damn. Oh no, Chris, you froze. Little bitch ass. Speaker A: No. Speaker B: Okay, Oberg, you just went to the Super Bowl, San Francisco.

Give us a little scene report. What'd you do there? How'd you like the game? Did you lose money? Did you win money? Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: Damn. Oh no, Chris, you froze. Little bitch ass. Speaker A: No. Speaker B: Okay, Oberg, you just went to the Super Bowl, San Francisco. Give us a little scene report. What'd you do there? How'd you like the game? Did you lose money? Did you win money? Speaker A: 21 Savage shared the blunt with you or no? Speaker C: I don't care about football like very uninterested.

Speaker B: More of a hockey lover? Speaker C: No, not even. Damn. Speaker B: Don't come for my Flames. Speaker C: We went for this Gap dinner, like sushi club Gap dinner, which was fun. Yeah. Speaker B: Okay. Speaker C: Shout out Chris Stamp. I actually— he's such a nice guy. I really like him. And also shout out Gap. Gap has been doing very good things lately. Like, I went in the other day and I bought a bunch of stuff. They're like, they're really coming back. Speaker B: Gap is back.

What did you get? Speaker C: Gap is back. So they have just really nice basic tees, like striped tees, long sleeves, good knits. They have some good outerwear, really good like loungewear. I'm not paid by Gap, by the way, or sponsored. Speaker B: Of course not. Speaker C: Of course not. Um, no, I just like— Gap is such an iconic, strong brand. I think they just kind of need to figure out like how to become relevant again in this space, which I think is really tough. Speaker B: Hey, I mean, the cat's eye commercial last year, that really did it.

Speaker C: Yeah, that was great for them. Speaker B: That was a huge That was a big one. Speaker C: That was huge. Speaker B: But it's good. It's good because, you know, Muji and H&M, they've been sort of shitting on The Gap for a while. It's nice to see. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: You know, the American Gap back in the game, right? Speaker C: Yeah, that was great for them. Speaker B: That was a huge That was a big one. Speaker C: That was huge. Speaker B: But it's good.

It's good because, you know, Muji and H&M, they've been sort of shitting on The Gap for a while. It's nice to see. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: You know, the American Gap back in the game, right? Speaker A: I just can't, I can't buy, I can't buy clothes. I can't, when I go into Muji, I can't think about the clothes, even though they're pretty good. They're better than they should be. They're better than they should be though. Really, it is. Like if you look at them. Speaker B: So you go and you're thinking about, I need like a new pencil sharpener.

I need a little new. Speaker A: Muji lowkey has the best, travel shoe covers for like— that makes sense, you know, like if you're— because I mean, unlike Emily, not all of my shoes come with dust bags, so I have to, I have to kind of get my step your money up, bitch, for my Nikes or, you know, my whatever, my workout sneakers. But yeah, so— Speaker B: and they make them big enough for you. Speaker A: Yeah, they do. But I swear by them, they're the best because I don't want my raw shoes rolling around in the, in the luggage.

Speaker C: I just put my shoes in my Hermès like cloth bags. Speaker A: I— that's what that's That's, that's exactly what I just said, so thank you for confirming that. I'm saying to you that I, I have also— Speaker B: oh, well, that's cool. So you do Muji? I just— there's a brand called Hermès and I use theirs, so they're better than the Hermès ones? Is that what you're saying? Speaker A: What I'm saying to you, Emily, is that I don't— I— these are nylon in a more sport mode situation versus my Manolo Blahnik or Hermès bags that are more of a cloth.

Speaker B: Okay, you guys, I like how since both of you guys work in textiles. It's cool to see where your favorite, you know, it's like music genres or cuisines. Like Chris is more into like the tech workout and then you're a little bit more of like a little cashmere fleecy, cool down cotton kind of thing. Speaker B: Okay, you guys, I like how since both of you guys work in textiles. It's cool to see where your favorite, you know, it's like music genres or cuisines. Like Chris is more into like the tech workout and then you're a little bit more of like a little cashmere fleecy, cool down cotton kind of thing.

Speaker A: Well, they're coming, they're trying to really bring back the working out in cotton thing, which I do, but I still need an athletic short. Would you agree? Speaker B: Like I'll wear a regular t-shirt on top because I don't love a dry fit t-shirt, but cotton, cotton short when you're all sweating in Pilates, those shorts are going to weigh 12 pounds, you know, gonna be all droopy. Speaker A: A lot of people are into that. But what do you— what's your take, Emily, on women rejecting tights? Are you a tight truther?

Speaker C: I mean, I, I obviously make leggings. I like leggings, but I understand like the health aspects and concerns of— Speaker A: oh yeah, people are saying this. Speaker B: Could you explain what— oh, because there's like some microplastics being— yeah, squeezed into your inner thigh and pussy area over and over again, and it's not good for you. Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, sweating in plastic is not great. Speaker A: Sweating in plastic is not great, I agree. But don't you think at a certain point, I know I'm gonna die?

Speaker C: Exactly. You have to pick and choose your battles with this health stuff, otherwise you will lose your mind. Speaker A: Because I feel like you lost the battle for a little while. I feel like you were going down a dark road. I was going yourself back. Speaker C: Dark road. Speaker A: Because you were taking it pretty far. Speaker C: I mean, look, I think compared to most people— Speaker B: were you getting your Brian Johnson on? No, you didn't go that far. Speaker A: Because I feel like you lost the battle for a little while.

I feel like you were going down a dark road. I was going yourself back. Speaker C: Dark road. Speaker A: Because you were taking it pretty far. Speaker C: I mean, look, I think compared to most people— Speaker B: were you getting your Brian Johnson on? No, you didn't go that far. Speaker C: I'm not going that far. But look, I'm still like on the peptides. I take supplements like hyperbaric chamber. We do the red light, we do the vibration plate. Speaker A: You're still down the deep. I apologize. Speaker B: I thought you— Speaker C: No, but that's light.

That's light. Yeah, that's light. Speaker A: How much? How much is the vibration plate in your house cost, though? That's the real question. I don't— I'm not familiar with vibration. Speaker C: $120 on Amazon. Like, it's not a bougie thing. Speaker A: What about the red light mask, though? Speaker C: So the red light, I have the panel from this brand called Joovv. That's pretty strong. That— I don't know how much that was, but I also got this one from this brand called Chroma, and that's like $1,000. It's this big, but it's like the highest grade medical red light.

And you only use it for 30 seconds because it's that strong. You can't use it for 30 seconds, but you can actually feel like it's super warm. So you use it on your face, on your head scalp. Speaker B: So you're using it like, like some deodorant, just a little under the hair. Exactly. Speaker C: You just go like this. It's like a few. It's amazing. Speaker A: Oh, who makes Chroma? You said makes that one? Speaker C: Chroma. Chroma. Speaker B: Okay, well, let's talk about one thing that you didn't mention in the wellness world that you used to be a part of— the colonic movement.

Pun intended with the movement, I guess. Speaker C: Colonic. So that— this is a controversial topic. Again, not a licensed physician, so take this advice with a grain of salt. Okay. A grain of Himalayan salt. Speaker C: Chroma. Chroma. Speaker B: Okay, well, let's talk about one thing that you didn't mention in the wellness world that you used to be a part of— the colonic movement. Pun intended with the movement, I guess. Speaker C: Colonic. So that— this is a controversial topic. Again, not a licensed physician, so take this advice with a grain of salt.

Okay. A grain of Himalayan salt. Speaker A: Emily, you were on the front lines of this shit, though. Let's be very clear. You were on the front lines of this shit. Not with a pinch of Himalayan salt. Speaker B: Do not. Speaker C: I was okay. Look, I've, I've struggled with gut issues. I have. I've had my own health journey, so I've done what works for me. Speaker A: We, Emily, we know we've met women before. You guys all have gut issues. We've heard about that. Speaker C: Yeah. Why do you think?

Because this world is so fucking stressful. And because men are the worst. Speaker A: Oh, it's okay. It's our fault. Speaker B: Shit. Speaker A: All right, I'll take the L. Speaker B: I thought you were going to try to blame being half Jewish for a couple of years on your IBS issues. Speaker C: I'm not. Not half Jewish. Speaker B: All right. I know. Speaker A: I know. You're saying that you— a colonic was a first. I mean, that's a reasonable step if you have actual issues. Speaker C: Yeah.

I mean, if you're backed up, you can't go to the bathroom. That's a very good entry point into getting things moving. Speaker A: Do not say entry point. Do not say entry point. You're just— this is too much. You two idiots together is too much for me. I'm going to have to go home. Speaker B: Okay, so what— Chris, you, you're familiar with the colonics. I'm assuming you haven't received one. I used to do the coffee enemas, which is obviously not the same, but that's fine. How often is a normal amount of colonics, let's say, per year?

Speaker A: Do not say entry point. Do not say entry point. You're just— this is too much. You two idiots together is too much for me. I'm going to have to go home. Speaker B: Okay, so what— Chris, you, you're familiar with the colonics. I'm assuming you haven't received one. I used to do the coffee enemas, which is obviously not the same, but that's fine. How often is a normal amount of colonics, let's say, per year? Speaker C: It depends. I mean, look, I had a really bad case of food poisoning last year.

Speaker A: Name the restaurant. Speaker C: I can't because I still really like that restaurant. Speaker B: I'll bleep it. Speaker A: Yeah, we'll bleep it. Really, we really will. No, actually, yeah, yeah, we believe— Speaker B: yeah, of course. Yeah, we wouldn't do that. We bleep all the time. Okay, likely place, likely place for that to happen. Speaker A: 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, uh, 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. Speaker B: A lot of questions. But how often— because we do this podcast 3 times a week and that's a sweet spot— how How many times do they do? Speaker A: 3 times a week. And I, 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. Speaker B: The Guardian is not some billionaire-owned platform. They're not afraid to say what they want to say, brother.

Speaker C: Okay, so that's what I— it was from lettuce, and it's not the restaurant's fault.

Sometimes there's a bacteria and you can— you don't wash it all off. Like, it's not— I don't blame them. Speaker B: In this case, it is that restaurant's fault. Speaker C: Okay, it is their fault, but I love their food. They have some— they have the best— one of the best steaks in LA, I think. Speaker A: Okay, they have a really good— I like the sweet potato. Speaker C: The sweet potatoes are great. Speaker A: Sweet potato special. But I, I don't, I don't think that— I kind of agree with you though.

If I got— I feel like it is a one-time— I don't know, I don't feel like you can— of course you can blame the restaurant, but I do think in a lettuce situation it's tough to— Speaker A: Okay, they have a really good— I like the sweet potato. Speaker C: The sweet potatoes are great. Speaker A: Sweet potato special. But I, I don't, I don't think that— I kind of agree with you though. If I got— I feel like it is a one-time— I don't know, I don't feel like you can— of course you can blame the restaurant, but I do think in a lettuce situation it's tough to— Speaker C: yeah.

So I didn't, I didn't say anything. I didn't tell them. I didn't. But it was bad. Um, but that definitely messed up my stomach, and I had a lot of parasites from Damn. So I had to do like a good parasite cleanse. And in the colonic, I saw a lot of them come out. So it worked. Speaker B: How big are these parasites? Speaker A: You're looking at the monitor and these parasites are just coming. Speaker C: Okay, so the place that I would go, he sets you up and you see everything coming out, but he puts a video camera on the tube and the TV screen in front of your face magnified.

Speaker B: It looks like— it looks like the luge on the Winter Olympics. Speaker C: Yes. You see it in real time. Blown up. I mean, I love it. Speaker A: How much? How much does it cost? They're $100 each. Yeah, I know, it's pretty affordable, but I just can't— I don't know, there's something— I, I don't— I almost did it at Lanzerhof because it was an offer on my menu. Speaker C: I hated Lanzerhof. That's shithole. Speaker B: That's shithole. Speaker A: I loved it. I thought it was— Speaker B: I mean, this is maybe the nicest place I've ever been in my life.

Speaker A: It was one of the nicer hotels I've ever say that. Which one did you go to, though? Speaker C: Landroff Lands, I think. Speaker A: Yeah, I went to the new— I think I went to the new one. Speaker C: In Copenhagen? Speaker A: No, it's in Silt. Speaker B: That's shithole. Speaker A: I loved it. I thought it was— Speaker B: I mean, this is maybe the nicest place I've ever been in my life. Speaker A: It was one of the nicer hotels I've ever say that. Which one did you go to, though?

Speaker C: Landroff Lands, I think. Speaker A: Yeah, I went to the new— I think I went to the new one. Speaker C: In Copenhagen? Speaker A: No, it's in Silt. Speaker C: Oh yeah. Speaker B: Iceland. Speaker C: Okay, fine. But look, it's a lot of those health retreats are just like you go for a week, they starve you, you think that you're losing weight or you're getting healthy and you go back to real life or the real world. Speaker A: Oh, I think every— but I think everybody kind of knows that's the deal.

I think everybody knows it's like a quote unquote reset. Speaker C: What's the point? Speaker B: They're hopeful. It's because they need somebody to hold them down and physically make them stop stop ordering Goop Kitchen pepperoni pizzas every night. Yeah, thinking that it's all good. Speaker C: If you need that help, I will say that my take— Speaker A: my takeaway was the mental struggle of it was more of a personal challenge, and I was proud of myself for getting through it. Speaker C: I— Speaker A: because I really obeyed it.

Okay, to a T. And a lot of people cheat. Speaker C: Try Hoffman. Speaker A: No, yeah, I know, but that's for women to get their, like, life in order. Speaker C: No, I know, I've done both. Speaker B: Wait, so there's a— there's a Lanza Hoff and a, uh, Hoffman? Speaker C: Hoffman. You know what Hoffman is? Speaker B: I don't know Hoffman. Speaker C: Wow, I'm shocked. Speaker B: So we'll tell me about it, guys. Speaker C: You can't go to a party in LA and not know what Hoffman is.

Like, everyone is bragging. Speaker A: I've never heard of a man going. Is it, is it actually women only, or— Speaker C: No, there's plenty of guys. Speaker A: I've never heard of a man going. Speaker C: I think like Brad Pitt went. Like, all these celebrities go. Speaker A: Well, I'm sure, I'm sure. But how much is it? Speaker C: It's not crazy. I think maybe for a week it's like $3,000, but that's for food, that's for like like the whole— Speaker A: I've never heard of a man going.

Is it, is it actually women only, or— Speaker C: No, there's plenty of guys. Speaker A: I've never heard of a man going. Speaker C: I think like Brad Pitt went. Like, all these celebrities go. Speaker A: Well, I'm sure, I'm sure. But how much is it? Speaker C: It's not crazy. I think maybe for a week it's like $3,000, but that's for food, that's for like like the whole— Speaker A: like, $3,000? I mean, Lanzarote's a lot more than that. Speaker C: That's a lot more than that. Speaker B: So is it, is it like Tracy Anderson but for the mind?

Speaker C: No, it's like a week no phone, no technology detoxing with all that stuff, and it's hours and hours of group therapy every day, all day. Nightmare. Speaker B: Oh yeah, well, so back to the original question, normal amount of colonics per year that a person might do. Speaker C: So I did, I did after my food poisoning to kind of clear everything out. I knew I had parasites just from like all these different symptoms. I saw them come out. So like, I know people say parasites are not a real thing.

There are parasites in our food. Like, you can even see them. Speaker A: Can you tell me what— can you tell me what a parasite looks like? Just on like the mucus commercial scale, you know what I mean? Like, are they looking like— Speaker B: in the colon, it looks like a bug kind of. It looks like a long little like silverfish. Speaker C: It looks like a worm, like a lot kind of yellowish, like flat, like long. Speaker A: Let's not get into the color. Speaker B: Like, you're able to see it with the naked eye?

Speaker C: Depends. So they— what happens in colonics is like they kind of break apart. Um, so you'll see like little bits, but like the biggest, the biggest one I've seen was probably like 8, 9 inches. Speaker B: I'm glad we got clean audio of that, but still, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Wow, that's— so they pulled a 9-incher out of you? Speaker B: I'm glad we got clean audio of that, but still, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Wow, that's— so they pulled a 9-incher out of you? Speaker A: Crazy. Speaker C: Multiple, multiple.

Speaker A: I didn't know that was— I didn't know that was— I didn't know that was possible. Speaker B: You went rounds with a 9-inch Yep, gang. Speaker A: All joking aside, I did not know that was possible. That blows my fucking mind. I did not know they were that big. Speaker B: I know, I knew you— and the colonist didn't drop a couple of those 9-inchers. Yeah, down his sleeve trying to show you what's coming out of you. Speaker A: Wasn't it like when a cop puts coke on the ground and says, that's yours?

You know, what's that? Drugs on you, Chris? Speaker C: Not possible. Not possible. Speaker A: Not possible. That's actually really— okay, so, but you think that these but you don't do them anymore because you just got out of the habit, or you think that it fixed your problem to an extent? Speaker C: No, I do. Yeah, I just felt like I was good. I started like, my gut, I feel, was healed. I'm in a good place now and I don't feel the need to go anymore. Speaker B: Great, beautiful. That's the way it should be.

That's true wellness. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: Okay, what about like the IV drips though? It's something that I want to do more of. Speaker C: I mean, you only really need an IV when you're depleted or you feel like you're about to get sick, or you were sick. Like, I'll do it before a flight, like an international long flight. I'll it after a flight. Like, if I feel like I'm about to get sick, I'll do it. And usually I don't end up getting sick. Speaker A: It works. I love, I love the, the drip works.

They're, they're like $100 more than they should be. Speaker C: So you have to be careful where you go to because some of them dilute them. You're not really getting as much as you think. And yeah, they can be overpriced. Speaker B: Yeah. Carolyn, I think Carolyn needs to do one. I'm going to tell her to hit you up. Speaker A: It works. I love, I love the, the drip works. They're, they're like $100 more than they should be. Speaker C: So you have to be careful where you go to because some of them dilute them.

You're not really getting as much as you think. And yeah, they can be overpriced. Speaker B: Yeah. Carolyn, I think Carolyn needs to do one. I'm going to tell her to hit you up. Speaker C: I mean, my integrative doctor is the best, by the way, in LA. Speaker A: I love her integrative doctor. I don't know if we need that for the drip. Speaker B: You want to give her a shout out? Speaker C: Shout out Dr. Erica Lehman. She's She's amazing. I do everything with her. Speaker A: Does she come to the house, though, or do you go to her?

Speaker C: So with an IV, like, they can come to you. I like to go there. I see her in her office. It's in Beverly Hills because she has all the supplements, like all the peptides. I like going there, but she's really the best and she's helped me so much with all of my health stuff. Speaker B: Okay. What peptides are we on right now? Speaker C: Oberg, BPC-157, GHK, thymosin alpha, thymosin beta. Vitamin B shot. I'll take, um, NAD, and I'm gonna start to take ipamoralin. Speaker A: Okay, how many of— how many shots is this per day?

Speaker C: You put it all in the same syringe, so you just— Speaker B: I know about that. Speaker A: I know you could mix like that. Then back in my day, you had to keep that shit separate. Speaker B: Oh yeah, how long gone exclusive. We call that— Speaker A: we call that a spitball, Emily, when you do crack— Speaker B: when you do a Long Island iced tea in my shit. Speaker A: Yeah, we Heroin. We smoke heroin and coke together. That's what you said. You said, I got that.

Speaker B: I didn't know you can— I just assumed that if I pulled some of my NAD and mix it with my whatever, they would, they would light on fire or something. Speaker A: Yeah, we Heroin. We smoke heroin and coke together. That's what you said. You said, I got that. Speaker B: I didn't know you can— I just assumed that if I pulled some of my NAD and mix it with my whatever, they would, they would light on fire or something. Speaker A: Okay, you're good. Speaker B: Damn, that's a good idea.

So you just— so you're just a little one from you. It's like when you're at Starbucks and they're pumping, like, how many pumps you want of this one? Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker B: Okay, and then where in the body is it going? Stomach? Ass? Speaker C: I like to do thigh because it's the least painful, I think. Um, okay, okay. But anywhere that's fatty, I wouldn't know. Speaker A: I— that's why, that's why I can't find— I can't find anywhere, so that's kind of the problem for me. Speaker B: Okay, Fat, who is she?

Speaker A: I have to go between my toes because it's— Speaker C: oh my God, that's dark. Speaker B: Okay, so we're, we're happy with, with where we're at right now physically and mentally. It seems like you're, you're a good mental zen place? All the, all the— I mean, all the boxes are checked. Speaker C: No, it's been a— it's been the most stressful, hectic period of my life, probably because of the transition, my restructuring of the company, becoming the CEO. Speaker A: Yeah. You, you really want to do that?

Speaker B: No. Speaker A: I didn't think so. That's what I'm saying. So you're saying you bought— all right, so you bought out the partner. Speaker C: I didn't buy out anyone. I always owned 100%. Of the company. Speaker A: Thank you for clearing that up. I know all our Hypebeast comment section listeners will be happy to know that. Speaker C: Yes. Speaker B: And you took no investment? You took no outside investment from anyone? Speaker B: No. Speaker A: I didn't think so. That's what I'm saying. So you're saying you bought— all right, so you bought out the partner.

Speaker C: I didn't buy out anyone. I always owned 100%. Of the company. Speaker A: Thank you for clearing that up. I know all our Hypebeast comment section listeners will be happy to know that. Speaker C: Yes. Speaker B: And you took no investment? You took no outside investment from anyone? Speaker C: Of course, no. Speaker A: Why? Well, why do you think people— why do you think you make people so damn mad? Speaker C: I mean, look, because usually— look, I love people in the pot. Speaker A: I know you love stirring the pot, but usually, usually I feel like women love— Speaker B: that's why we have you on the pod, Oberg.

You're a stirrer and we fuck with the stirrer. Speaker A: I feel like usually when women get it out the mud and start their own business and is successful, usually people sort of can't— that's— you can't really say much about that. That's a pretty positive thing that you can't— I don't know what you could say negatively about that. But somehow you find a way to get people angry, and I don't— Speaker B: is it because it's a beautiful immigrant story? Speaker A: Is it because you're stunting, or do you think it's something else?

Speaker C: Look, I do stunt a little, but if you compare me to some of these other designers who are like on PJs, like showing their insane watch collections, like they have crazy— Speaker A: hey, I don't follow Cult of Gaia on Instagram, so I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about. Speaker C: But no, there are some— no, no, I don't stunt crazy, okay? Speaker B: You don't stunt crazy. But I mean, I guess if people are gonna be like, you know, I saved up money washing cars and now I'm going to fashion school and I'm going to learn this and blah blah blah, and then they see you going hee hee out of the G-Wagon and they're gonna be like, son of a bitch.

Speaker C: That was me. Speaker A: I know, but I'm saying retail and saving up, counting my— Speaker C: I know that. Speaker B: Chris that many people know that, but yeah, people like, they're, they're, they're blind. They're blind to that information because that means that they're failing because they're not good enough at XYZ versus— Speaker C: right. Speaker A: No, no, this, this has no— you know what the problem is? The problem is if you were ugly, it'd be fine. Deadass. If you honestly— if you— that's real talk. Speaker B: Okay, this is what you have to do.

Speaker A: You can't have all of it. You can't have all of it. People don't like it. Speaker B: I know that you're probably going to not like this idea for the next phase of Sporty and Rich, but what if you get a little fat? Bring you back down to planet Earth. Speaker A: Let's humble ourselves. Speaker B: You know, let's humble ourselves a little bit. You know how like Chris likes Hailey Bieber and she— I just saw a photo of her today. She looked like she had a little, you know, a little good, healthy 8 pounds pounds on her, on her ribs.

Speaker C: She's definitely not fat. I would say she's skinny. Speaker B: She is not fat at all. But I'm saying, you know, she's— we've all had our body journeys. Speaker A: Watch yourself, Jason. Speaker B: She's obviously had a child as well. But, you know, I was— all I'm saying is you can— a beautiful woman like that can gain 10 pounds and she still looks just as beautiful and attractive. Yeah, I'm saying, what if you, you know, put a little 18 on that? Speaker C: Look, if it's gonna help the business, sure.

Speaker A: If I could sell more, if I could sell more sports bras, I don't Fuck, I'll do whatever it takes. But also, that's why you're good at your job. Speaker C: Look, if it's gonna help the business, sure. Speaker A: If I could sell more, if I could sell more sports bras, I don't Fuck, I'll do whatever it takes. But also, that's why you're good at your job. Speaker B: But also, you all, you kind of eat a lot. Speaker C: I do. Speaker B: Thank you. So it's not like, like, I've been out to dinner with you 100 times.

It's not like you're starving yourself. You're eating as much as I am, and I'm twice your size. So if you even— I guess I'm saying, even if you wanted to gain weight, would you be able to do that physically? Speaker C: Look, I think people have this like misconception that I don't eat, that I'm like, have an eating disorder. Like, I've seen all of these things, but I have— I mean, in all seriousness, I have— it's fine. I have like a thyroid disorder, which is hyper, which means your metabolism is like always through the roof.

I mean, I wish I didn't have this. I have to take medication for it every day. Speaker A: I catch that from you. Can I like catch up? Like, can you shake hands and I get that? Speaker C: No, you don't want it. It's not good. No one wants it. Trust me. Speaker B: Why? Speaker A: What are the downsides? Speaker C: I mean, you have heart palpitations, like you're always cold, like, and then at night you like have crazy sweats. Speaker B: You know what, Emily? Speaker A: I think I could power through.

Speaker C: I think it's not great. It's not great. Speaker A: I do like the fact that you were able to make— I think it is a powerful thing to make people that mad by just sort of doing your job and it being— and being successful. I do think that's sort of— Speaker C: no, but I also think, look, I know the brand name pisses people off. I don't give a fuck. Who doesn't want to be? Who among us doesn't want to be sporty and rich? Do not tell me you don't want to be.

Speaker C: no, but I also think, look, I know the brand name pisses people off. I don't give a fuck. Who doesn't want to be? Who among us doesn't want to be sporty and rich? Do not tell me you don't want to be. Speaker A: I would never. Those are two things I really want to be. I can't wear it on my chest. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker A: I'm a 43-year-old man. It ain't for me. So that's fine. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker A: That's fine. Speaker C: But I'm just— look, it's like, it's cheeky.

It's not— people take it so literally. Speaker A: If I was a 17-year-old Korean girl, oh, I'd be all over that. Speaker C: Exactly. It's just like, it's fun. Speaker B: Are there any peo— I kind of— I was thinking yesterday when I was listening to you on a podcast, like doing my Oberg research, seeing if there's anything I didn't know I was like, you know what? I wouldn't mind a couple of pieces from the collection. Do you think I could do a pull of a couple items? Speaker C: Obviously.

Speaker B: Okay, good. Speaker C: Go for it. Speaker A: Jason, what the fuck are you going to wear? Please, please tell me. Speaker C: A sweatshirt, shorts. Speaker A: What you think you can wear. Speaker B: I had a meeting yesterday with a friend and we were talking about Ralph Lauren. He was wearing this yellow polo hat that he said he had since high school and had a beautiful patina to it. It. And I told him I was just looking, um, on eBay at like double RL hats. And I, and I found this one that was like a yellow Pharrell trucker hat style.

It's basically, I was telling him, I'm gonna buy a double RL trucker hat of some kind and I want to get the worst, ugliest one that will not pair with anything because I like the challenge. And I'm not saying that your clothing is, is ugly. It's, it's cool. But like, it's unlikely for a guy like me to maybe wear some of the collection. And I like the idea of making it my own style and having somebody be like, damn, you're making the sporty and rich work. Speaker C: You do do that.

I feel like that's your thing. Speaker A: Don't gas him up. Stop. Speaker B: Well, it wasn't necessarily complimentary. She's like, you do have that problem a little bit. Speaker A: You do that. I didn't say good. I didn't say good. I say you do that. Speaker B: Just, you know, you do that. I like, but you guys are all like uniform classic dressers, Levi's 501s, you know. Ralph Lauren. It's all, it's all classic. It's uniform and beautiful. But like, you guys do a little splash out sometimes, right? Speaker A: Oh yeah, I could see you.

Yeah, I could see you maybe in some of this Yankees collaborative product, you know what I mean? Real like Stolen Valor, you know? Speaker C: No, I see it like in the vintage kind of sport vibe. Speaker A: Yeah, like what is the— Speaker C: okay, I see that. Speaker A: When I see a man wearing Sporty and Rich, what happened— which happens more often than you would think, maybe movie, what is the percentage of their chick bought it for them in your, in your estimation? Speaker C: Honestly, a lot of guys like it on their own.

I don't think it's from their girlfriend. Maybe like 20%. Speaker A: That's not— no, that's not negative. That, that's not negative because I think a lot of— like, I know for a fact that at Crew and a lot of businesses like that, a huge portion of the men's sales is coming from women, right? Whether they're buying it for their boyfriend or husband or their brother, their whatever. It's like, that's a— there's so many guys that don't care about clothes at —yeah—and somehow it finds their way to them. But I guess maybe with what you're doing, it's a little more niche.

Speaker C: It is a bit more niche. Speaker A: All right, well, next time I see a guy sporting Rich Hat, I'll ask him if he's gay. Speaker B: No, no. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of Sporty and Rich bootleg when I go to my Armenian Pilates classes in Glendale. Speaker C: It is a bit more niche. Speaker A: All right, well, next time I see a guy sporting Rich Hat, I'll ask him if he's gay. Speaker B: No, no. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of Sporty and Rich bootleg when I go to my Armenian Pilates classes in Glendale.

Speaker A: How bad is that? How bad— how bad are the fakes, Emily? Speaker C: I mean, Lululemon's doing them. Speaker A: No, I'm not talking about you claiming everybody ripped you off. I meant like real fakes. I'm talking about China. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker C: I don't know. Honestly, I'm not privy to it. I haven't really seen— like, maybe in Asia there is, but here— Speaker A: Yeah, you're right. It takes a lot for it to make it over here. Speaker C: I mean, I'd sue them, but whatever. Speaker B: Could you break down your customer demographic by race?

By race? I have no idea. We'll call it country. US. Speaker C: US, Korea, UK. Got it. Speaker B: Okay, okay. When are we— Speaker A: all right, so you're opening a new store in LA, correct? Like any day now? When does it open? Speaker C: So it's opening March 6th. Let me find out. Very soon. Speaker A: All right, where is it? What neighborhood? Speaker C: West Hollywood, beside Pacific Design Center. Speaker A: Oh, it's in that space. I know exactly where it is. Speaker C: There was used to be— across from Solomon.

Yeah, but there was that fake store there for a while. Yes, that German brand. Speaker B: So you're gonna be right there, Earth Cafe? Speaker A: Yeah. When that store opened, I was like, I give this place [redacted address]. This is, this is some money laundering shit. Brain? No way this is staying here. Speaker C: So it was— it was the brand of the owners of Hi-Mats. Speaker A: Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, I knew this. Speaker C: Do you remember that crazy story family like one of them all died in a plane?

Yeah, they all died in a helicopter. Yeah, or a plane or helicopter. And then so I guess the brand just closed after that. Speaker A: Yeah. When that store opened, I was like, I give this place [redacted address]. This is, this is some money laundering shit. Brain? No way this is staying here. Speaker C: So it was— it was the brand of the owners of Hi-Mats. Speaker A: Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, I knew this. Speaker C: Do you remember that crazy story family like one of them all died in a plane?

Yeah, they all died in a helicopter. Yeah, or a plane or helicopter. And then so I guess the brand just closed after that. Speaker A: That was a story I always heard about Hi-Mat, that there was this confusion going on because the owner and the person who was legally supposed to take it over if he died, died at the same time. Time. No. So there was like all this, like, they didn't know what to do. They were like, we don't know who should take over this thing because like legally it's like a mess because everybody's dead.

It's so, it's so crazy. That's dark. Shut it down. Okay, so you took over it, but, but it's kind of big. Speaker C: It's massive. It's 5,200 square feet. So the— it's going to be the bottom level is retail and cafe, top level is my office, which I don't have an office here, so it's like our first US headquarters. And then we're also gonna have like a fitness studio upstairs. Okay, so I can— Speaker A: there's finally somewhere I can go and I'll have to wear aloe with a gun to my head.

This sounds great. Speaker C: Exactly, bro. I can't. So fucking corny. Speaker B: Are you gonna have a mega reformer upstairs? Speaker C: No, it's gonna be all like no reformers. Okay. Um, I'm gonna have a few really good trainers. We're gonna teach some classes, but it's gonna be very curated, very small. Speaker A: No, we need full weight room. We need at least a squat rack. At least a squat rack. Speaker C: I have a bar that you could use for hip thrusts. I don't— Speaker A: No, we need full weight room.

We need at least a squat rack. At least a squat rack. Speaker C: I have a bar that you could use for hip thrusts. I don't— Speaker A: men don't hip— that's another thing, man. We do it, but we got to keep it quiet. Speaker B: I was hip thrusting in Hawaii a couple weeks ago, and I loved it. I loved it. You gotta hip thrust. Speaker A: I love hip thrusting, but I can't make it when guys do. I only use the machine because when guys do with the bar and you have to put that little pad between your bussy and the bar, that— men can't do that.

Speaker B: That's embarrassing. Speaker C: No, you can't. Speaker B: That's the bussy buffer bar. Speaker A: You have to use the machine, and machine's still really It hurts, but you just have to power through. Speaker C: You cannot use the pad. Yeah, you can't. You really— Speaker A: I don't, I don't know. I don't make the rules. I just, I just can't. I personally— Speaker B: Fellas, is it gay to thrust? Speaker A: I mean, for real. So, all right, so you're gonna have— while this— so this is, this is Oberg World Headquarters here then?

This is ground— this is Ground Zero. Speaker B: When you're upstairs in your office, is there going to be like a double-sided mirror so you could look down at your customer base and they can't see you? Or do you want them to see you up there? Speaker A: I like that. Speaker C: No, they can't see me. I could— I'll just have to go down and see what's up. Speaker A: The parking situation is pretty good. Speaker B: Come down, sign a couple, sign a couple 8x10s. Speaker C: You know, the park, there's street parking, but I think we'll have valet on the weekends because I feel like in LA you kind of need to have that.

Speaker A: I mean, I don't like to go anywhere unless I swear to God, if you made me pay $20 to valet to buy a pair of fucking leggings, that's— no, no, no, no, that is LA. Speaker B: Free valet for orders of $50 or more. Free valet. No fees. Speaker A: I've only got 20s, so I'm out 20 I don't got change. I'm out $20 no matter what. Speaker A: I mean, I don't like to go anywhere unless I swear to God, if you made me pay $20 to valet to buy a pair of fucking leggings, that's— no, no, no, no, that is LA.

Speaker B: Free valet for orders of $50 or more. Free valet. No fees. Speaker A: I've only got 20s, so I'm out 20 I don't got change. I'm out $20 no matter what. Speaker C: Then you're not our demo. Speaker A: Your demo is trying to Venmo a tip. Speaker B: At the checkout kiosk, just have a stack of fives in case somebody needs one to tip the valet. That'd be a nice touch. Speaker A: Honestly, that is very chic. $2. That's a good idea. I find this— I always see them setting up the Jacques Marimoge valet on that, you know, in West Hollywood.

I'm always like, how many people use this? And I bet it's way more than I think. Think. Probably. Speaker B: Yeah, they wouldn't keep doing it if it wasn't worth it. Speaker C: Who the hell wants to park? Like, that sounds crazy. Speaker A: I'll drive around during the day. I, I love overpaying for valet, but only at night. Something about during the day feels, feels— Speaker C: yeah, during the day, walk your lazy ass to the store. Walk your lazy ass to— Speaker B: all right, so world headquarters is, is under construction.

Speaker A: Yeah. All right, and it's— is it moving in a timely fashion? Are you having to crack the wall? Speaker C: No, it was supposed to be open in August. We're insanely delayed. Speaker A: August? Yeah. All right, so you're gonna get a lot of runoff from Community Goods too, and vice versa. There's some brand synergy there, I feel like. Speaker C: There's some synergy, but we're gonna have our own cafe, which is like more a health-focused cafe. Speaker A: Uh-oh. Oh, so— oh shit. All right, it's you versus Pedro in the streets of West Hollywood.

I didn't realize that. You said, we ain't got no breakfast sandwich, bitch. Speaker C: There's some synergy, but we're gonna have our own cafe, which is like more a health-focused cafe. Speaker A: Uh-oh. Oh, so— oh shit. All right, it's you versus Pedro in the streets of West Hollywood. I didn't realize that. You said, we ain't got no breakfast sandwich, bitch. Speaker B: Can you give us some, uh, some menu exclusives? Um, yep. Speaker C: So I'm— so I love Jamba Juice. Speaker B: Oh yeah, I forgot. Speaker C: I recently just discovered it like a year ago.

Speaker A: This is cool for you. Speaker B: I'm really happy because it combines your two loves, candy and smoothies. Exactly. Speaker C: It is so delicious. Like, it's my favorite thing ever. My boyfriend introduced me to it actually. Speaker A: He grew— that's because he grew up going to the mall. He knows what fucking time it is. Jamba Juice. Yeah, I know, most people's first smoothie. Speaker B: Yeah, but Chris, what's the— what's the smoothie place in Canada called? Speaker A: Canada? I'm a smoothie King. I'm a Smoothie King, guys.

In Canada there's, um, it's Jugo Juice, but it's kind of trash. Speaker B: No, the one like the— it's like a, like a cafe, like a Sweetgreen-y kind of place. Speaker A: Goes to a place— Alex goes to a place called Nut Bar, which is one of the best names of all time. Speaker B: It's like, it's like a one word, like it's not mixed, but it's something like that. I don't know, like we go, we go there in the mall. No, you're talking— Speaker A: yeah, it's where I get my wrap.

It's called, um, your wrap place. What is it called, Alex? Speaker B: But it's like a Canadian only. Speaker A: People hate I hate it. Yeah, it's like, don't, don't scoff at me. Speaker C: A wrap is like such a weird food. It's like, just have a sandwich or a salad. Speaker A: What is a wrap? I like a wrap. I like a wrap because of the form factor. It's less spillage, no fork required. Speaker C: A wrap is like such a weird food. It's like, just have a sandwich or a salad.

Speaker A: What is a wrap? I like a wrap. I like a wrap because of the form factor. It's less spillage, no fork required. Speaker B: No, I kind of agree with that. It doesn't shoot out the sides. Speaker A: It doesn't shoot out the sides. Like, if a sandwich is properly stacked, like my Linwich, my favorite, it'll still shoot out the sides a little bit when you take a a bite. Speaker C: Yeah, I guess so. Speaker A: You know what I mean? All right, I'm sorry, what's on the menu?

Speaker C: So I like how Jugo Juice— oh, sorry, wait, what is it? Jamba Juice. Jamba Juice. Speaker B: Jugo Juice is cool. I like it. Jugo Juice is Canadian. Speaker C: Jamba Juice has like a secret menu. I didn't know this. And I think that's sick. Like, you go and you're like, I want the strawberry Starburst. And just like ordering something that's off the menu— first of all, everyone loves that, it's an exclusivity factor. But I want to have a secret menu, but I kind of want to recreate some of of like the greatest hits from Jamba and make them in like a healthy way.

Um, so I'm working on that. We're gonna have soft serve, um, the same one that everyone has, the coconut-based one. We're gonna have bubble tea, but I'm gonna make it healthy. That's always been my dream. Let me ask you a question. Speaker A: Let me ask you a question, Emily. Bubble tea, can it be healthy and still taste good, or is that the challenge? Speaker C: So listen, tapioca is not— I mean, it's just tapioca. Like, the pearls not extremely unhealthy. Speaker B: So that's pretty much just the sugar is the only problem.

Speaker C: It's just the sugar. So it's like it's the base of the drinks are always loaded with sugar. They obviously have like regular milk, which is fine for some, but the artificial flavors. I'm going to do like, you know, real fruit smoothie based, probably honey. I'm excited about that. And then we're going to have some food items as well. More like grab and go stuff. Okay. Speaker B: So that's pretty much just the sugar is the only problem. Speaker C: It's just the sugar. So it's like it's the base of the drinks are always loaded with sugar.

They obviously have like regular milk, which is fine for some, but the artificial flavors. I'm going to do like, you know, real fruit smoothie based, probably honey. I'm excited about that. And then we're going to have some food items as well. More like grab and go stuff. Okay. Speaker B: Because, you know, I love to cook. Yeah, I can't wait to buy an $11 apple from 41 Rich. Speaker C: Oh, we're going to have the $20 strawberries there too. Speaker A: Yeah, no No shit, no shit. The oyster. Yeah, obviously I'm somehow not surprised.

No, I think that— yeah, I know that the, the food element of this stuff is, is important to you and it makes sense for the brand, but it does feel like a big pain in the ass. Speaker C: Big pain in the ass, but it's not my problem to deal with. I hire a chef and like cafe manager. Speaker A: Hey, you're the CEO, it's all your fucking problem now. Speaker C: Yeah, true, but it's, it's smart, you know. Speaker B: It turned— it turns your retail destination into a third space.

Speaker A: And what about coffee though? Because you're— are you— do you drink Coffee? No, never. Speaker C: I don't do caffeine. Speaker B: Never have, never will. Is Rocky's matcha going to be available there, Oberg? Speaker C: Um, I don't think we're gonna have his matcha. We have a matcha from this girl Nami in New York, and I think we're gonna have those here too. Speaker B: Okay. How do you like— now that, now that we've shifted over into America, you're grabbing the reins of the horse again— how has, how has been having to hire a whole new staff been for you?

How do you like the hiring process? Speaker C: I don't like it. I don't know what questions to ask them. I don't know how to interview people. I don't know what to say. I— it's horrible. Speaker A: I'm not good at it. All right, well, look, you can practice. I'll come in for— post a job. I'll come in. Speaker C: I don't like it. I don't know what questions to ask them. I don't know how to interview people. I don't know what to say. I— it's horrible. Speaker A: I'm not good at it.

All right, well, look, you can practice. I'll come in for— post a job. I'll come in. Speaker B: Yeah, what do you— what, what positions are you currently hiring for? Speaker C: So over the last 4 months, I've done nothing but build my new team. I pretty much have hired every single person. Okay. Yeah, it's done. Speaker B: So we're all, we're all sorted out, ready to go. Speaker C: We're all sorted. Yeah, I have a great team. Oh, too bad. Speaker A: I was hoping for a— I was hoping for a, you know, not entry level, but a kind of a part-time position, something in the mailroom.

Speaker B: Just get in early. Speaker C: I'm trying not to hire any guys. Oh, what if I was? Speaker A: I think it would be great if I was just— Speaker B: we don't support she/they over here. Speaker A: Yeah, she/they is fucked up. Hell no. Yeah, I could— Emily, I could be your assistant. Look, I can— I could be an assistant if you let me drive your car. I could get around. I could be— it'd be a great assistant. Maybe an assistant position. Speaker C: But positions of leadership, I would prefer no men.

Speaker A: I think you need to have a straight male assistant. I think that's the most powerful move you could have. No, that's weird. No, that's cool. That's powerful. That's you saying you're a loser. I'm the boss. Go get my fucking buffalo cauliflower. Yeah, maybe. Speaker B: And he says, when I'm done at Erewhon, can I clean your toilet? And then you're like, that's fine. Speaker A: Yeah, I think it could be. Speaker C: Okay, maybe she's back. Yeah, I'll flip the script. Speaker A: Yeah, we'll flip it. If you could find a straight male assistant that's older than you, that is the number one flex.

Speaker C: I don't think it'll be hard. Speaker B: Yeah, this is going to be a— I want there to be a Devil Wears Sporty situation. Speaker A: Yeah, I think it could be. Speaker C: Okay, maybe she's back. Yeah, I'll flip the script. Speaker A: Yeah, we'll flip it. If you could find a straight male assistant that's older than you, that is the number one flex. Speaker C: I don't think it'll be hard. Speaker B: Yeah, this is going to be a— I want there to be a Devil Wears Sporty situation.

Speaker A: Okay, she's like, that already exists, sweetheart. Just get— just knock on my door. Speaker B: Welcome to my fucking life. Okay, so even, even though we're zenned out and things are going well, we're hired, we're moving on on course, you have to experience some sort of burnout at some point where you hit a wall. And I know that you don't really have too many vices. No drugs, no alcohol, no caffeine. So what, what, what's your burnout splurge? Like where you're dropping a bag, but on what, what scratches that itch the best?

Speaker C: A Birkin. Yeah, we'll do it. Speaker B: Hit it with the Birkin. Speaker A: Okay. Now, question, where are— do you have a dealer or are you going into Hermès and playing the game? Speaker C: No, I don't like new Hermès bags, they're kind of— I don't know, they just look different. I like the way the old ones look. So I have— I go like vintage, like I've gotten Birkin. Yeah, sure. Off vestiaire. Speaker A: What's the Birkin count looking like right now? Speaker C: Okay, so I got 2 Birkins stolen when I was robbed.

RIP. I also had the Kelly. So what else do they— Speaker A: what else do they— what else do they get in the robbery? Speaker B: You might be setting up robbery number 2 with your next. All my Chanel jackets. Speaker C: I had like 5. Uh, they sell Chanel jackets. Yeah, they had good taste. I was like, goddamn, like different, like Chanel heels, like this, like Celine suede jacket that I love. Speaker A: what else do they— what else do they get in the robbery? Speaker B: You might be setting up robbery number 2 with your next.

All my Chanel jackets. Speaker C: I had like 5. Uh, they sell Chanel jackets. Yeah, they had good taste. I was like, goddamn, like different, like Chanel heels, like this, like Celine suede jacket that I love. Speaker B: All the old Phoebe is gone. Speaker A: Was it, was it mostly clothing and bags? Speaker C: It was only clothing and bags. No, all of my jewelry and watches were with me, thank God. Thank God. Speaker A: Okay, so you had the, you had all the bust-downs with you, but do you think— yeah, did we do an investigation?

Speaker C: So I was robbed twice. They found the first person. Speaker A: Do you think these are people that know who you are? Speaker C: Yeah, they did. They were like definitely tracking and following me on social media, seeing when I was out of town, all of that. Oh yeah, Jesus Christ. Um, no, but funny story with the first guy. So the first guy, he robbed a few other people. He actually stole furniture too. My— I have two Paulownia lamps. He stole them. I got them back because— so he went to jail because he was basically stealing from all of these high-end vintage furniture stores in LA, like back in the— Speaker A: back in the truck up.

Like, how do you furniture steal? That's not easy. Speaker C: Yeah, he would let— I think he did like some credit card scams with some. He would go into some and like, yeah, he broke in overnight and stole stuff. He stole it out of my house when it was under renovation. I found his address and I went to his apartment. Bro, what? Because I wanted to confront him. I was like ready to kill this guy. Yeah, I know. I don't give a fuck. I'll do— and I'm crazy. Speaker A: Which gun did you bring with you?

What did you get out of the gun cabinet? I had nothing. Speaker C: I was not prepared. I found his address. I went and and I knocked on the door and he had moved, so he wasn't there. I was so disappointed. Okay, but the person knew who I was. They're like, are you Emily from Complex? What are you doing? I was like, don't worry about it. Speaker A: Which gun did you bring with you? What did you get out of the gun cabinet? I had nothing. Speaker C: I was not prepared.

I found his address. I went and and I knocked on the door and he had moved, so he wasn't there. I was so disappointed. Okay, but the person knew who I was. They're like, are you Emily from Complex? What are you doing? I was like, don't worry about it. Speaker A: Aren't you Emily from Complex? Speaker B: This sounds like a scene out of Entourage, you know? I love LA. Yeah, yeah. Where are the box logos? Speaker A: What the fuck? Speaker B: I don't want all this Hermes shit. Speaker A: What the fuck?

We got any Jordans in here? Okay. So have you had to take security precautions? Do you have a new system? Speaker C: Yeah, of course. I mean, I have a secure— I have cameras, I have an alarm that doesn't do much in LA, but I think we need to get some heavy-duty locks on the closet. I think I just need a big safe. Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. Speaker B: Yeah, big safe. And then once we get that LVMH buyout or whatever, then we can get the armed guard who just posts up on the Benny Blanco style.

Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker A: Overnight security is like the goal. That's actually crazy. I knew that had happened, but I didn't realize that it was like targeted like that, but I guess that makes sense. I mean, most of them are. Speaker C: I've had so many friends who've gotten robbed, and it's like when they post they're out of town, or, you know. Speaker A: Luckily I don't have anything, so I'm kind of in the clear. Speaker C: Yeah, you're lucky. Speaker B: You're lucky in that way that you don't really have any good stuff that people would own.

Speaker A: I'm all set. Speaker B: Sort of possess nothing of value. So you want some jeans? You can come rob my ass right now. Give you a little REM shirts, prime era. Speaker B: You're lucky in that way that you don't really have any good stuff that people would own. Speaker A: I'm all set. Speaker B: Sort of possess nothing of value. So you want some jeans? You can come rob my ass right now. Give you a little REM shirts, prime era. Speaker A: You can come get those. And he's honestly probably worth like $20K though.

I wish. In totality. No, Travis Scott hasn't worn one yet, so we're still on the low end. Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, that's, that's how they got Brad Pitt in Los Feliz. He was doing some promo tour. Just throw a rock through the biggest window in the house and— Speaker C: Yeah, it's so easy. Speaker B: Like, if you think about it, as long as you're okay with jumping over a fence or a hedge, it's not that hard. Exactly. Anyway, so if you want to rob us, this is how it's done.

Where you can follow us on Instagram to You'll let us know when we're at different cities in the world. Speaker A: Um, that's the beauty of New York. I gotta say, it's not gonna happen in New York, so it's much harder. Speaker B: Are you gonna get a big dog? Speaker C: I'm gonna get a golden retriever, but unfortunately I probably won't do anything. Speaker A: No, not doing shit. Speaker C: They'll just be like happy to see the robber. Speaker B: He's gonna kiss that robber to death. Exactly. Jesus Christ.

Speaker C: I was at both of your weddings, let me just say. Let me just say. That's not— Speaker A: no, I literally think this, this happened to us with a few times where it's like I sort of thought you had done it before, like just like in my mind.

Like I, I I apologize, and we've, we've made up for our mistake, I think, today. And, and, um, I— Speaker B: Chris, you didn't come on this pod for excuses, okay?
