[Podcast Host]

Welcome to a midweek, boys only for our best friends behind the paywall. This week we're around getting silly after a long one. Yo. With Aaron Maldonado, the biggest brain, biggest sweetheart in streetwear.

[Larry James]

Yeah. This also made me think of how you can't handle a big sandwich.

[Podcast Host]

Have you seen these sandwiches?

[Larry James]

Yeah, but it's just Two meals. It's two. It's you two. You buy a sandwich, you get two sandwiches.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, of course, but have you seen these sandwiches? And then you're over there scoffing, have you seen these sandwiches? Yes, but I used to get, like, the Godfather or, like, their great hangover sandwich. And then you. And then you, like, feel like more shit afterwards.

[Larry James]

Remember how we bonded over splitting the Subway? Not splitting, but we used to get a Subway find our foot long. You have two meals. Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

Jared from Subway saved our lives.

[Larry James]

Yeah. Jared did nothing wrong when we were

[Podcast Host]

young, dumb, and full come. Who was there for us?

[Larry James]

Jared. Jared Fogel was there for all the young boys. Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to scoff at you. It's just like. Like, you won't get it because.

[Podcast Host]

Show you this sandwich, no nuts and what's.

[Larry James]

Okay. And what's the price? Because then it's like, yo, divide it by two and then.

[Podcast Host]

But that's not what you're saying when you're like, yo, you can't handle it.

[Larry James]

Oh, you.

[Podcast Host]

Bro.

[Larry James]

You're a.

[Podcast Host]

You can't handle the sandwich.

[Larry James]

It just. It just sounded like you didn't eat

[Podcast Host]

anything at the dinner last night.

[Larry James]

I had a piece of black miso cod. A filet. I'd already eaten. I already had my dinner.

[Podcast Host]

Look at this.

[Larry James]

That's actually a lot smaller than I was thinking. I think I thought it was going to be a hoagie.

[Podcast Host]

That's the. That's the cross section.

[Larry James]

Yeah, but that's a round roll.

[Podcast Host]

Is this it? I don't know. Whatever.

[Larry James]

Yeah, okay.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. I'm not a man. I can't handle a sandwich. No, no, it's just.

[Larry James]

Just a big sandwich for me. It's like, okay, well, I can have that on two occasions and if it's good, if it's delicious.

[Podcast Host]

But that's. Come on. Anyway, let's move on. Okay. Aaron, what a g. How do we get to sandwiches? We're just trying to sing Aaron's praises over here.

[Larry James]

Big brain, bright future, big sandwich. Big sandwich. Even bigger sandwiches. Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

Let's do a fit check real quick before we get into all that.

[Larry James]

I'm wearing second layer rider boots. The socks are. The socks are, man. Risa, the. Yeah. They would pair really well with his Kawasaki knit, which, honestly, I don't know if you remember, is so sick. Suzuki Kawasaki.

[Podcast Host]

I think he said Suzuki.

[Larry James]

Either one of the two. Not that they're interchangeable, but they. They both have their marriage. Japanese. I was going to say pants. Yeah, you. You know what? The pejorative term for those are what you. I can't say it like a Kawasaki or Suzuki. Oh, an R rocket.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Larry James]

But that's where my mind went. I'm terrible.

[Podcast Host]

I didn't know that. You don't.

[Larry James]

You never. You never heard. Yeah, but. But I exist in. In the world.

[Podcast Host]

Society.

[Larry James]

Society which. Which needs to be mobile. Get around. The pants are vintage Carhartt double knees, the beaters Cortez. The fleece quarter zip sweatshirt sweater thing is mountain hardware. And the jacket is a bare knuckles bomber. And the hat is Sorbara's. And the underwear are actually boxers today because I'm coming up on a dire situation in terms of laundry. But these are by hand work.

[Podcast Host]

How dire we talking?

[Larry James]

Got one more pair of boxers and then so yeah, I have to do. I have to do laundry tomorrow.

[Advertiser/Marketing Voice]

Has your.

[Podcast Host]

Now that you're a gym bro and you're yapping out macros in group settings.

[Larry James]

Yeah, I gotta. I gotta not.

[Podcast Host]

Has your laundry loads. Pause doubled. Yeah, we got bigger loads now.

[Larry James]

Yeah. Just me stretching out that work and avoiding laundry as much as possible. Yes. Basically been cut in half exclusively like a big ass sandwich.

[Podcast Host]

How have you. I'm curious about this. Yeah. Legitimately curious. What are your gym sl. Sweating in tops? Cuz I imagine you do like, like, like okay, you do whatever sneakers. What are. What are your gym sneakers?

[Larry James]

Mizuno Wave Runner 2.0.

[Podcast Host]

Okay. Sick Gym shorts.

[Larry James]

Throwing Fitz pod shorts of every flavor that ever existed.

[Advertiser/Marketing Voice]

Yep.

[Podcast Host]

Taste the rainbow.

[Larry James]

Y.

[Podcast Host]

And then the tea Skims. Skims, whatever. Boxer briefs.

[Larry James]

Yeah. Yeah. A boxer briefs. And then. Yeah. And then the tops are just any. I don't really because of a lot of reasons. Mainly I. I'm in the gym because I hate my body. I don't really wear like just tea. I'm not a T shirt wearer. Right. Like at the. At the crib. T. But I'm not like ever even when it's like hot out, you know, I'm not just like bus busting out the crib in a tea. So the teas I just wear to the gym, they're just like whatever. So like yesterday was an oasis tee that I got at the reunion show.

[Podcast Host]

Like you're wearing like your tier one tees.

[Larry James]

I don't know if they're. I wouldn't call them tier one those. That merch was pretty bad quality.

[Podcast Host]

Okay.

[Larry James]

And then today the was the. A great tea, but it's old and kind of like the big bean Neil Young harvest moon tea, which is a great tea. Arguably was tier one. Now it's, you know, cracked and faded and. Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

Just so things, like, trickle down for a tier one, like, you wear out or you wear under some shit, and then. Yeah, tier two is.

[Larry James]

Jim, I don't know if I. Listen, I have teas that maybe there's some actual vintage tees that, like a vintage Bowie or Beatles tea or some stuff that, like. Yeah, you just have, like.

[Podcast Host]

Like, shitty tees you just throw on to, like, sweat in.

[Larry James]

They're like, all. All my teas. I just don't. I don't respect any T shirt.

[Podcast Host]

Okay.

[Larry James]

Graphic tee. I just, you know, I have some, like, my own, like, supreme relics that I, like, bought over the years, like Sade or the abstract art one or what? I just, like, those wouldn't. But the graphic make would make you sweat too much. Yeah. So I think, like, besides those, anything else is fair game.

[Podcast Host]

What about you wearing a hat?

[Larry James]

Yes, I have the dirty water performance hat. That's like my gym hat.

[Podcast Host]

You wash that ever?

[Larry James]

Yes.

[Podcast Host]

Okay.

[Larry James]

I mean, it's just like.

[Podcast Host]

It sounds like only one hat.

[Larry James]

Yeah. I should get more performance hats because, like. Yeah, I don't. I'm not. I'm waking up. I got crazy bedhead, and I'm going to the gym, not showering before the gym. So, yeah, I probably do need more, you know. That's a great point. I need more performance hats right now.

[Podcast Host]

It's just the one watch.

[Larry James]

Jules, no.

[Podcast Host]

Doing a gym fit check. All right.

[Larry James]

Nothing, Nothing. And then the socks. Just the same, like these, man. Reese's. They'll probably be worn to the gym tomorrow just to keep. Keep the laundry as light as possible.

[Podcast Host]

Because you're not doing movements right. You're tossing plates.

[Larry James]

I mean, I'm walking on. I'm doing my hot girl walk to start. I always start. Always start with cardio. And then. Yeah. Just basically tossing plates. Yeah, that's. That's the gym and pod fit check from Larry James.

[Podcast Host]

How's your tennis elbow?

[Larry James]

Well, it's funny. I got a message today. I heard us debating that, and he said, wes, my guy, Wes, bro, you

[Podcast Host]

should hit him up.

[Larry James]

No, no, no. It might. You know, honestly, I'll just look right now, because if it is west, then. No, Johnny. Johnny Wynn. Johnny Wynn said, yo, I have tennis elbow, too. I lift heavy and pretty regularly, and it can happen in just one arm. Don't listen to Jimmy. Get these sleeves. And he sent me these cuffs.

[Podcast Host]

Does he get a. Does he get a affiliate link?

[Larry James]

I don't. Honestly, I don't Know, Jenna does it all the time when people ask her for shit. Which, like, you should do. Send the shop my link.

[Podcast Host]

Sure.

[Larry James]

And he said it will also help you lift a little bit more. So I'm listen, by the way, two. And I don't even need it for the non Jerk off arm.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Yo.

[Larry James]

Imagine you start jerking off with a compression cuff. Yo, it makes you jerk off harder.

[Podcast Host]

You can crank more.

[Larry James]

No, but it is something that, like, it's not at a point where it's making me, like, miss days, especially as I'm trying to develop good habits and routines, but I'm, like, pretty excited to. To maybe just, like, nip this in the bud.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, bro.

[Larry James]

What do you wear today?

[Podcast Host]

Our Legacy Quest boots On the feats. The socks are from Lusso.

[Larry James]

Oh, Cloud. Yeah, but Lusso Cloud.

[Podcast Host]

First of all, Luco slippers are disgusting because, like, just. I just. They're ran through because I wore them around the crib. I think I might have tossed them, honestly. They were, like, gross. Just like, being dirty.

[Larry James]

You're talking to a. A tosser. Mine are long gone.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, just like, foot sweat. Just like, you know, you don't wear super comfortable.

[Larry James]

You don't wear my socks at the crib.

[Podcast Host]

I don't really wear socks around the crib.

[Larry James]

That's how. Unfortunately, anything whether Lusso slippers. Uggs, they're gonna get torched and disgusting and smell like a salt and vinegar chip.

[Podcast Host]

If you don't wear this, mine aren't gonna smell. They're just like. I don't have smelly feet.

[Larry James]

I think. I. I'm not saying that I have particularly smelly feet either.

[Podcast Host]

I just.

[Larry James]

You are. That's.

[Podcast Host]

I think you're saying your feet smell like salt and vinegar chips.
