Not small stuff, but the crochet. The crochet polo. I feel like it's a very Love island core now. It's very Fiji core. Very Villa core.
Lawrence
Yeah. I mean I'm. I'm in my. I'm in my polo era. This kind of checks that box. Yeah. I've been pretty light on the nip polos. I like the. Like I said, the air flow that this provides. Especially on a day like today.
Ricky
Wearing a beater tucked into your pants.
Lawrence
How else would I do it? I'm not going to have the. Even if it was like a little nip out, I don't want to do.
Ricky
That saying the airflow isn't even hitting skin, brother.
Lawrence
It is on my. My arms.

Great.
Lawrence
Go to Italy.
Ricky

Ricky
Like a. Like a queen's little piggy.
Lawrence
I am dry as a motherfucking bone. The hat is Sor. Barra's. The sunglasses are thistles. The beater is Hanes. The jaws are supreme Hanes. And I'm sipping on a hydro flask full of Lower east sides finest. James, what do you wear?
Ricky
The shoes are Nike women's super flies, I think. Right?
Lawrence
I don't know. They're your shoes.
Ricky
Whatever.
Lawrence
We love the brands, the big brands that send James women's shoes.
Ricky
We do. We do. We do. We do. Send me six pairs again. Please give away four of them.
Lawrence
You have a whole rotation, dude.
Ricky
Yeah. I only kept two. The socks are no socks. It's too fucking hot out.
Lawrence
But isn't that okay?
Ricky
Yeah.
Lawrence
When wearing no socks. Because it's so hot out. I understand that you want to limit the fabric on your dogs. Doesn't that make the shoes now smell bad or make them gross and you're losing longevity when you could wear ankle socks.
Ricky
I don't think smell bad. I don't own ankle socks. And look how many holes are in this.
Lawrence
What's.
Ricky
What's off flow?
Lawrence
That Is true. What. Wait, what are the socks that. They're not called ankle socks, but crew. Crew socks are.
Ricky
Crew socks.
Lawrence
Crew socks.
Ricky
So if I. Yeah, I feel it.
Lawrence
You can feel that.
Ricky
Yeah.
Lawrence
Clip that out, Ralph.
Ricky
The shorts are stussy Techla. The lightest pair of shorts I own. Those are so fire like boxers.
Lawrence
They are.
Ricky
I think they're pockets. They're a little see through.
Lawrence
Are they?
Ricky
They're like Daphne from Paige Desora desorbo. What's her name? Yeah, boxers.
Lawrence
Wait, can I see what color underwear do you have to wear so that they. Yes, like.
Ricky
Well, can you see?
Lawrence
No. I don't know. Let me see the back. Let me see your butt. Yeah, a little. Well, now I can. When you. When you pull them. Taught red. No, that's actually, you know what? Honestly, that's pretty good coverage.
Ricky
All right.
Lawrence
Are those coming to Paris?
Ricky
No, because it's not gonna be that hot like the. I already packed all my clothes, so this is one of the few pairs of shorts that I didn't bring because I'm a classic overpacker. Threw in all the.
Lawrence
So you overpack this time as well?
Ricky
Of course.
Lawrence
Wait, so you're going pants heavy?
Ricky
No, shorts heavy.
Lawrence
Okay, same.
Ricky
The shirt is our Lagache workshop in blue. The hat is Small talk Studios in the boxers are Hanes in red. Red. The sunglasses are Gianni.
Lawrence
How many shades are you bringing? This is where I'm.
Ricky
Yeah. From Pete. Vintage and sipping on a double chico twist of ass. And no jewelry because that's also packed up.
Lawrence
What? How many pairs of sunglasses do you pack for a week in gay per.
Ricky
I haven't packed sunglasses yet. Going to talk Paris. We're going to talk Paris.
Lawrence
Okay, sorry.
Ricky
Fit check. Drink check complete. Let's talk Paris.
Lawrence
Three. I'm bringing three for me.
Ricky
Okay.
Lawrence
Is that. Jen is like. That's unnecessary.
Ricky
Three.
Lawrence
I think. But I'm again, vacation after. I thought it was four.
Ricky
I'm doing. I'm doing six pairs, baby.
Lawrence
Six pairs of shots. That feels like one of them is going to be the. The Airbnb tax. And you're going to like maybe if you bring six. It's a lot to keep track of.
Ricky
Look, we got the one Airbnb left in the center of the city that has two bathrooms each with a shower and air conditioning throughout. And two bedrooms, by the way, shotty on the upstairs one.
Lawrence
Okay. I mean the fact.
Ricky
That's only fair because like you got. There's two people in your bedroom, right?
Lawrence
Yeah, I was going to say you're being so kind to let Jenna crash with us. Hopefully she'll make a nice little cameo on the next Boys only.
Ricky
Is she?
Lawrence
But then it won't be boys only. It'll be boys and girls.
Ricky
No problem.
Lawrence
Exclusively.
Ricky
We'll figure it out.
Lawrence
No. Yeah. The fact that you're being nice enough and letting her crash, you should get first dips.
Ricky
I mean, I can't say no to that.
Lawrence
Right. And.
Ricky
And if I had said no, what would that have done to, like, one the free Warby Parker that I no longer get?
Lawrence
Actually, you should bring that up with her when you see her.
Ricky
I should and I will.
Lawrence
That would have done nothing for me because I would have been like James.
Ricky
Said, you can't, you know, Sick Larry's going French mode.
Lawrence
No. What is that? Well, we'll talk about what that even means.
Ricky
What, going French mode.
Lawrence
Falling off of a bike while blasting a dart.
Ricky
Yeah. Smoking a Sage Gainsburg. Amount of cigarettes. Kissing a man. I don't know.
Lawrence
Well, it's. So speaking of darts, I'm looking forward to smoking. And, you know, I have the. The impunity in the past because we're in. We're on the. The continent, but it's so hot that smoking is gross. And because I basically have quit smoking for Zins, I don't enjoy Sigs as much. So I don't think I'm gonna be smoking at a clip that, like, maybe you or people that know me are used to.
Ricky
How many Zins are you gonna bring?
Lawrence
I bought four, five tins this morning.
Ricky
So you're good until Wednesday.
Lawrence
I mean, it's like I do, like, three quarters of a tin a day. So, like, I'm hoping that this will be, like, this will help me pace myself. Right. If I only have five, and you can buy velos and shit in Europe, but I'm going to try to kind of keep it to the stash that I'm bringing. But we'll see. But yeah, there might be. There might be a pack of golds in this.
Ricky
Look, we're in the same place for a week. We're not bop. We're not jumping around like, two nights here, three nights there, one night there, two nights there. So it's not like when we went last summer to Pity Florence or Pity Milan, Paris. Back to Florence, I think. Or back to Milan. Right. Or do we abscond?
Lawrence
That was after Parry. We absconded.
Ricky
Oh, that's right. You know, so you're not constantly unpack. Unpacking. So I'm. I'm ready to bring a Bunch of just like, spend the first day just unfurling everything and just setting up base camp.
Lawrence
You're going to. You're going to bomb the Airbnb like Iran.
Ricky
Very topical.
Lawrence
Yeah. It's politics.
Ricky
Bringing my own roll of toilet paper, for sure. We talked about this on next week's afters, which, by the way, I think we're behind the paywall. This week's guest is that Mexican ot.
Lawrence
My relative was kind enough to grace us with his presence when he was in town. Yeah, that will all be explained in extensive detail later this week.
Ricky
Yeah, didn't get that much time with him. He's a busy Mexican man.
Lawrence
He had yo's to yo and blunts to smoke or joints to smoke.
Ricky
Yeah. And H. Bay City to get back to. But, yeah, it was a, you know, little run gun quick little pod with a very fire rapper.
Lawrence
Yeah, we're fans. I mean, he's sick and hilarious if you've seen him on any podcast. And, you know, despite being high as hell, I think he delivered. He's. He's a joy to be around.
Ricky
All right, Paris, what do you. My question for you, Lawrence, are you going to get back on the literal bike, not the figurative bike?
Lawrence
So I wanted to remind me, do I need an app for that?
Ricky
Yes.
Lawrence
Okay.
Ricky
I will not be fucking opening your lime bikes for you.
Lawrence
So the way that I was thinking about it is that because our schedule is, like, I would call it perfect as is, and we have time between shows and appointments and parties and dinners, I kind of want to walk and get. And get my steps in, since I don't really plan on, you know, bringing the gym life with me from New York to Paris. I'm not bringing any. I don't think I'm bringing any sneakers, and I'm definitely not bringing any, like, quote unquote, gym clothes. Not going to be playing tennis with you. So I don't know if the bike is going to factor in. I'll probably get that app just to be safe because, like, based on where we are, like you said, we have a great location for the Airbnb, but there's going to be a time or two where we're going to need to get somewhere in, like, 10 minutes. And the only way to realistically do that is via bike. Right. The Ubers in Paris are a joke. You can get the taxi app, but, like, that's also a cost that seemingly could be saved if you just subway the Metro. I don't think I ever have done that. Besides, going to the airport is it easy to navigate?
Ricky
Yeah, extremely.
Lawrence
Okay.
Ricky
And it's insanely easy to fare evade.
Lawrence
Okay. Yeah, they don't. They don't have, like, cops, like, making sure that you can't hop over the gate. Well, they'll send you over. Okay. It's just glass.
Ricky
Yeah.
Lawrence
How do you fare evade, then?
Ricky
You just walk through like, they're not, like, fully shut.
Lawrence
You just follow somebody. You just shadow a Parisian and just go in with them.
Ricky
Yeah, just try it. Just try it. Trust me.
Lawrence
This sounds like you're setting me up to go to jail.
Ricky
No, it's. They defunded the police. It's good.
Lawrence
Okay, cool. Hell, yeah.
Ricky
Yeah.
