• James Harris [00:37]: “Wait, I thought your favorite New Balance ever was with dye the 860s from like 10, 15 years ago.”

Lawrence clarifies his preference, focusing on the model rather than the colorway, and draws a humorous comparison to Ralph Lauren’s iconic style.

• Lawrence Hossman [00:44]: “It reminds me, I think I said this before. It's like a Ralph Lauren shoe that he'd wear the tuxedo.”

The conversation seamlessly transitions into a detailed fit check, where both hosts share their current outfits, accessories, and the brands they swear by. Lawrence highlights his vintage Carhartt double knees and a vintage Fleetwood Mac T-shirt, while James details his ensemble featuring items from Haven and Graziano y Gutierrez.

Event Recap: Fundraiser at Scars

The event aimed to raise funds for building a new school in rural Uganda, addressing critical needs such as clean water, bathrooms, and educational infrastructure.

• James Harris [06:35]: “For this brand new school that's being built in super rural Uganda. ... kids carrying their younger siblings all fucking day on their backs, kind of podcast learning in mud, dirt floors, etc.”

Clam Pie Comeback

An entertaining segment of the episode revolves around the reintroduction of Clam Pie—a menu item that was previously discontinued due to misunderstandings about its composition. The hosts discuss the cultural nuances and the initial poor reception of the dish, which led to its removal from the menu.

• Lawrence Hossman [08:15]: “Apparently, New Yorkers, when it was on the menu at Scars, everyone just assumed that it was a clam pie that had cheese on it because they're not familiar with the style.”

Determined to revive the beloved dish, Lawrence and James successfully brought back Clam Pie for one night, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees. They humorously speculate about the post-meal social interactions, particularly concerning breath freshness.

• Lawrence Hossman [09:15]: “It's just ... Maybe. Dude, you know me. I'm out here shaking babies and kissing hands, bro.”

The segment underscores the hosts' commitment to enhancing their event offerings and catering to their audience's tastes.

Just. No, no, that was two weekends ago. But one of the. One of the baby showers was as was at a venue that has Guinness, but that wasn't part of their open bar. Oh. So I just had to have normal, like a. Like a pensioner.

[James Harris]

Never mind. I'm not going to make an anti Semitic comment.

[Lawrence Hossman]

They're not Jewish.

[James Harris]

No, but your Anglophile Philia did not outweigh your roots.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Oh, meaning paying for my own G so I don't hit the open bar. Never going.

[James Harris]

Oh, sorry, was the TF Amex not available to not be slapped down?

[Lawrence Hossman]

Baby shower. No, I have a. I have a canvas version. This is the vegan leather joint like you said. Super warm for a shitty fucking day. Today. Yeah. No perfect day to podcast because it's not like there's anything else to do.

[James Harris]

I love the. The zippers of. Of like the Talon baby zipper hardware.

[Lawrence Hossman]

They got talons on these, bro. Good ass zippers. Shout tdr. To your point, in terms of like the good in house labels coming out of stores.

[James Harris]

Oh, I read about that on the only substack that matters.

[Lawrence Hossman]

I think TDR is probably the most underrated. That is by the Covetor and Garb store. Shout out them.

[James Harris]

Well, one of the newest.

[Lawrence Hossman]

So yeah, definitely one of these. I got maybe like two seasons. I have Matt. I have pleated jeans. I got two Jefferson jackets. The is good tap in. You know where you heard it first. Yo. Next, yo. Tdr. Next up. For real? For real, dude. Yeah.

[James Harris]

The sudden hospitality of inline private labels.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's. I mean I hope we can get to Southern hospitality if. If time will allow it. I'm on board, dude. Yeah. The hat is Opium Options.

[James Harris]

Austin Opium, yo.

[Lawrence Hossman]

At the bowling tournament, I was wearing another of my many pre distressed options hats and music had just come out. Everyone's like, yo, nice Opium hat, dude. And I was like okay, yo look.

[James Harris]

It'S young Joe Rogan in the thermal under the tee with the opium hat.

[Lawrence Hossman]

As the oldest guy at the bowling tournament, like I should have expected to get fucking chirped about my opium hat.

[James Harris]

See, it's not just me people shout out.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It's not just me shout out options keep pre distressing those hats and I'll keep wearing them. The sunglasses are cutler and gross. Rolly on the wrist, wedding ring on the fingy wifey on the pinky chrome. On the other hand, the boxers are supreme hanes. I got my zen, I got my lower east sides finest in the hydro flask. I got lip balm.

[James Harris]

Nice.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Oh the belt dude, the big old fucking studded western belt is from Fugazi. James, what are you wearing today on the feats?

[James Harris]

Because it is a shitty fucking day out. I got the blackbird, spy plane, oboes. The socks are drifties. The pants another inline label from Haven.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Oh, nice.

[James Harris]

Shout out Arthur and his brother. We don't know how to pronounce your last name and we forget what your.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Non twin brothers Arthur and the other one.

[James Harris]

Well, we can't talk about this week's guest just yet. The T shirt is Graziano y Gutierrez. I'm not even gonna try and explain where they're from because I've done. I did that once before and I was so wrong that they actually had to reach out and they're like no.

[Lawrence Hossman]

James, actually you're like, you call them like Oaxacan or something?

[James Harris]

No, they're based up in Oregon but I think they use like Oaxacan textiles and definitely right, that are loome in northern Mexico or western Mexico. I'll leave it at that. I'll leave it at that.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Shout out G and G. Dude.

[James Harris]

Hitch hitcho in Mexico. Mexico. The shirt, vintage Carhartt from I believe Lea Senta. Shout out Frank and the mandam.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Damn, that would go real good with my pants, dude. A little, little off hue Canadian tux.

[James Harris]

And then distressed with your denim pre distressed denim hat. That be sick.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It's crazy that this hat is more distressed than your vintage shirt.

[James Harris]

Yeah, it's because I didn't pre distress it.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Someone else could have done it for you. Again, that's the point.

[James Harris]

I mean there's some like fading and shit. Yeah, the coat is pen. The hat is brand new from small talk. I actually walked in wearing something else but had to throw it on. Courtesy of Nick and Phil and the boys.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Shout out that ball.

[James Harris]

What else? The boxer Hanes Taga. A gift lower side's finest bonus Hat. Oh, yo, he pulled out a bonus from Fantasy Explosion. Ooh. Shout out, Kevin.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Free plug.

[James Harris]

Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. Well, whatever. I chose to wear it and then the small talk just showed up and I had to wear that home. All right, fit check, drink check, complete. Let's get into. Yeah, the only podcast. The Meat Potatoes are the only podcast. All right. We threw an event last week with Dirty Water with Scars, with Cobble getting involved. Thank you to everyone that pulled up. We raised a ton of money.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Yeah, we did.

[James Harris]

For this brand new school that's being built in super rural Uganda. I'm telling you, I got, like, seasick. I got seasick driving up to. I guess car sick. Driving up to this school in the. In the diesel Land Rovers. It is like way, way up there, right? I mean, this is like, this is the school. Not to get too, too into it, but this is school where it's like no electricity, kids carrying their younger siblings all fucking day on their backs, kind of podcast learning in mud, dirt floors, etc. So building a brand new school, clean water, bathrooms. I mean, this is what kids get, like, with their one meal a day. So shout out everyone that pulled up and donated money. The clam pie.

[Lawrence Hossman]

They pulled up so that we could pull these kids up out of the trenches.

[James Harris]

Nice. The clam pie.

[Lawrence Hossman]

That's where you want to go with first?

[James Harris]

What?

[Lawrence Hossman]

The first thing we got to talk about is the clamp.

[James Harris]

What do you want to talk about?

[Lawrence Hossman]

No, I'm saying the clamp. I was that good. Yeah.

[James Harris]

So we brought it back for one night only. Apparently there was a version early. Early, early.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

In Scott, like OG scar V1 days.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Yeah, the. That. We got the clam pie lore from Audi 5G.

[James Harris]

Yeah, you know, we were jamming out. We jammed out with our clam out all day, though. This was an iteration that Audi 5G was like. Yeah, this is better than, like, the OG1L because I guess, like, people just weren't with the.

[Lawrence Hossman]

They didn't.

[James Harris]

They didn't purchase the OG.

[Lawrence Hossman]

What he. What he told me. I don't know if you heard this as well, but. So, all right. Clamp pie. That's like a New Haven, like, classic. Apparently, New Yorkers, when it was on the menu at Scars, everyone just assumed that it was a clam pie that had cheese on it because they're not familiar with the style. And I can see that. That. That's a little gross. Some people, even though, like, Oysters Rockefeller, I feel like, is adjacent to that. That's like baked in with some cheese.

[James Harris]

And that's a lot of assumptions.

[Lawrence Hossman]

But it did not sell at all. So it was swiftly removed from the menu and we brought it back.

[James Harris]

Yeah, they also, I mean, they had a lot of. Damn. Scar. Had a lot of clams because they were like baked clams too, back in the day. It's basically we brought it back in version for one night only. It was so good.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It's incredible.

[James Harris]

It was so good. Scar, if you're listening, if you're. I know you're on Good morning America. I know you're traveling the world, opening up scars around buying watches, global posts and cars outposts. Bring it back because it was delicious.

[Lawrence Hossman]

My only concern was after eating it was it was immediately like, oh, everyone's breath is going to be disgusting.

[James Harris]

Okay.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It's just.

[James Harris]

You're gonna smooch the menswear enthusiasts.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Like maybe, Maybe. Dude, you know me. I'm out here shaking babies and kissing hands, bro.

[James Harris]

Because normally your breath smells like what? Cool min.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Cool. Fresh mint is in, dude.

[James Harris]

It's exactly what it smells.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Versus clam smell. Like. Yo, yo, my man must be diving the way he smells like a clam, dude.

[James Harris]

It was delicious. Again, thank you to everyone who came out, enjoyed the dirties, enjoyed the pie. The clam pie. Raised some money for a good cause. It was a great time and like brave the rain, I guess. It was fog early.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It wasn't like that bad, you know.

[James Harris]

It was at the end at night. Yeah, it didn't stop. Like there were like waves of people. It was great, great time.

[Lawrence Hossman]

It was tight. That back room was fucking jumping, dude. Saw a lot of new faces. A lot of old faces. Everyone was loving the tea. Everyone was happy to donate to a good cause.

[James Harris]

Everyone was like. Like the gossip?

[Lawrence Hossman]

No, the. The T shirt.

[James Harris]

T shirt.

[Lawrence Hossman]

Yeah.
