Welcome to the afters. Uncut bonus content for our best friends behind the paywall. This week we're around. Oh, wait, did I not pause for chef? Sorry, Chef.
[01:07]
Host 5
No, sir.
[01:08]
Host 4
This week we're around with Jimmy and Larry after podcasting with the homie J. Master Craig.
[01:14]
Host 5
I love a name that rhymes.
[01:15]
Host 4
I know J.
[01:16]
Host 5
Even though we just learned that five minutes. Started recording, which is always. It's funny because you always got to ask because you do never know.
[01:23]
Host 4
Yeah, yeah. And then it was tough with Jay because, like, usually with a guest, I can just, like, YouTube at this point. It's like, yo, YouTube, just, you know, Eddie Wong interview. Not that I know how to pronounce Eddie Wong's name, but it's like, just to make sure. And also, this man had a TV show advice.
[01:41]
Host 5
Eddie Huang. What the. What the is this?
[01:44]
Host 4
But Jay, bizarrely, the only interview I could really find was in, like, a T magazine, like, Scene Report, London, when I think he was working with Alexander McQueen.
[01:56]
Host 5
Lee McQueen.
[01:56]
Host 4
Lee McQueen.
[01:57]
Host 5
Yeah.
[01:58]
Host 4
What's the difference between Alexander and Lee McQueen?
[02:00]
Host 5
Alexander McQueen is the brand, and his name is Lee McQueen.
[02:02]
Host 4
Okay. Did I fucking realize that?
[02:04]
Host 5
No, I don't. I think a lot of people don't realize that, so I don't think you should feel bad. It's crazy to me. Well, it makes sense that he doesn't do any press, because the crazy thing is how he doesn't use social media for that much outside of, like, here's my work. It's a portfolio or. Which is admirable, but definitely old school. And I think shows like the generation that he's from, without a doubt.
[02:26]
Host 4
I think it's more. It's just not like a first and foremost thing on his mind. Like, he doesn't. I think he's from a generation and. And has the mentality where he's not waking up and checking Instagram.
[02:34]
Host 5
No, the work is the work.
[02:36]
Host 4
How do I present myself to the world yet? But anyway, before we get into all that, let's do a fit check, Larry.
[02:41]
Host 5
Oh, or can we talk about secret Twitter too?
[02:44]
Host 4
We got Harris about Lee versus Alexander Queen. God damn it.
[02:47]
Host 5
You only had one instance where it came up on the show. He also called Canada Goose. He had a mistake where he said Snow Goose. So that's why I brought it.
[02:53]
Host 4
Snow Goose is the name of the hater subline.
[02:56]
Host 5
Shows how much I know now. Who's stupid now? Me.
[03:00]
Host 4
But you know what is interesting is that when he was talking about fashion, straight fashion nerds, and he was kind of describing not me at all, he's like, you guys know all the watches, you know all the seasons, you know all the that. And you know this. I'm more of a macro vibes guy.
[03:16]
Host 5
You're a vibe.
[03:17]
Host 4
If I like it, I like it. If I don't like it, like it, I'm not going to know, like, the details. It's like, it's like how I consume sports. I don't know the players, I just know the teams I like.
[03:25]
Host 5
Yeah. And. But I will say the watch guy that he's talking about is a different. Is a type of guy. That's the under the hood mentality, which is watch cars, tech.
[03:32]
Host 4
No, but you're like that with fashion. I mean, say that pejoratively. I'm saying you're the type of guy where the devil's in the details. And that's like a strength of yours.
[03:40]
Host 5
Yeah, I guess. I guess a little bit. Yeah, I guess.
[03:41]
Host 4
Oh, actually, Armani jeans is actually. Was launched in 1987 as part of a subset of Jo Giorgio's obsession with American denim and Japanese take on. You know what I mean?
