Jordan first been Jordan how the hell are you?
Unknown
Wow. I think that's the first time it's.
James
Hard because I I've seen these and you want to stay present but you also know it's coming that but it.
Unknown
Was the best moment did you leave your body?
James
Yeah but. But also I was trying to. I was trying to focus on every word.
Jordan Firstman
It's like ketamine it ketamine in that.

Jordan Firstman
Your is your album master turned in or is it too late to put that as an intro?
James
There's One. There's one track that they won't clear a sample, so we have to. You can be on that one.
Jordan Firstman
Okay.
Unknown
Thank you very much.
James
There's a deluxe coming.
Unknown
Okay. You have the same problems as Kanye right now.
James
A lot.
Unknown
Can't get anything clear.
James
All of the same problems.
Unknown
Jordan, thank you for joining us. I love that hug. That was beautiful to witness. Most people don't, like, give physical.
James
The. The tea.
Unknown
Yeah.
James
On why I'm here, why, how I got connected to you, and why I follow you.
Jordan Firstman
Why.
James
Why do you. What would be your guess?
Jordan Firstman
I followed you since you became the Impressions guy over Pandemic, and now you're so much more than that. I'm a gay guy that loves pussy, so there's got to be some sort of connection there.
James
I think you're hot.
Jordan Firstman
Oh.
James
I was like, circle of wagon. I like. I saw a clip of you, and I was like, who's that hot guy?
Jordan Firstman
Wow.
James
And then I went to you, and I was like, he follows me. I did. Within three post. Three posts. I knew you were not gay. I was like, I'm still. I. I like some eye candy.
Jordan Firstman
There's always. There's always hope. There's always hope.
James
Very my type.
Jordan Firstman
Really?
James
No. No offense.
Unknown
That's totally fine. I'm married to a woman.
Jordan Firstman
What's your type?
James
I mean, hot podcaster hot. Like, potentially mixed race.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. Yeah. Is that.
James
Is that your vibe?
Jordan Firstman
Yeah.
James
You guys want to.
Unknown
I can leave?
James
Yeah. Like, 10 minutes. This is.
Unknown
He does not need his gassed anymore.
James
Really? He doesn't seem that cocky to me.
Jordan Firstman
I'm not that cocky. I'm not that cocky.
Unknown
Come on, dude.
Jordan Firstman
Come on. I'm not that. It's not like that. Wait, you talked about this idea that you're doing. We can spoil it because it's coming out. I think after the story where you're trying to find a guy in Grindr and have sex with him.
James
Yes.
Jordan Firstman
And then he reviews your album.
James
Yes.
Jordan Firstman
Maybe the Grinder hookups are. Have been here all along.
James
Really?
Jordan Firstman
No.
Unknown
You would.
James
To get fame, I'd for sure get some free topo. Chico.
Jordan Firstman
It's Hollywood, baby.
Unknown
The bar is low.
Jordan Firstman
But, Jordan, thank you for finding me attractive and leveraging that into coming on the only podcast.
James
Attractive, too, but I don't. Wow.
Unknown
I was waiting for it.
James
You're just not as. I still would. Don't say it. Not as.
Unknown
I'm not your type.
James
Not my. Not as my.
Unknown
Thank you for throwing me a bone. Three minutes and 45 seconds into the show. I appreciate that. Jordan, let's do a quick fit check. We want to hear everything you're wearing today so that we can just jump right into the questions.
James
It's not too designer heavy.
Unknown
That's fine.
Jordan Firstman
Really?
James
We have, like, a. A vintage jacket. I'm not sure where it's from.
Jordan Firstman
It's lovely.
Unknown
Wide whale corduroy.
James
Yeah, Wide, wide whale.
Unknown
That. The whale is the. The. That's the term for the. The stripe, of course.
James
Wow. I had a famous line in high school. Like, it's not actually funny, but I'm just thinking about it now. But I was trying to think of corduroy, and I was like, what are the lines that feel good?
Unknown
Cocaine.
James
Yeah. And many, many versions of that.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
But, yeah, again, Kanye problems again.
James
Again. We have a. A vintage Dolce white shirt.
Unknown
Fancy.
James
We got some Prada boots and not vintage jeans.
Jordan Firstman
So everything vintage. But the boots.
James
No, no, the boots are not vintage, but they are from an outlet. Oh, they're stars.
Unknown
They're just like us.
James
But the Prada outfit is. Outlet is literally $3 cheaper than.
Jordan Firstman
Is it the one in Milano or LA?
James
The one, like, on the way to Palm Springs.
Jordan Firstman
Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are. There's a product there.
James
Yeah, they have everything. There's like a Marnie. There's, like. There. They have, like, deep cuts, but it's like that.
Unknown
They're making, like, just for the outlet, and that's why it's only 3 bucks cheaper, so. But 3 bucks cheaper is still cheaper.
James
It's still cheaper still. Definitely.
Jordan Firstman
That's one third of an iced coffee in la. Whoa. I went there.
James
Not even now.
Jordan Firstman
Well, let's not get. Let's not get political. Right? What about the. What about the glasses?
James
Yeah. Bonnie and Clyde, if you could ever imagine.
Unknown
Frameless.
James
Yeah, they're frameless.
Unknown
That's like a thing now.
James
Yeah. I think it's been. I think, like the post. Post uncut jams. We've kind of been experimenting. These are a little bit, like, thinner, which I like. I used to have. Clearly you haven't seen the movie I made last year, rotting the sun, because you alluded that you hadn't seen me suck dick on camera and get sucked. But if you had seen that I had these. There's. The best eyeglass store in LA is called Optical Sphere. Vintage eyeglass. Vintage sunglass.
Unknown
That's a ridiculous name.
James
And it's.
Jordan Firstman
They.
James
He has, like, probably 20,000 pairs of glasses.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah.
James
And I had these really thin, kind of like Korean businessman glasses, and they were my favorite.
Jordan Firstman
What happened?
James
And I Lost them?
Unknown
No.
James
And then I went back, I was like, do you have anything? He's like, no, bro.
Unknown
I could picture that guy perfectly now.
James
Like, one of a kind.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. One of.
Unknown
No, bro. One of.
Jordan Firstman
One of one, bro. He must have been. I'm sure he was the only guy in LA hairier than you. What about the earrings and the necklace?
James
Earrings? This was when I. When I. When I booked the Rachel Senna HBO pilot, Untitled I, Untitled, I gave. I know the title now. But you don't.
Unknown
Right. Okay.
Jordan Firstman
It's a secret.
James
I. I treated myself too, because I had been the hoop guy forever. That's true.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. The Double Big Hoops.
James
Big Hoops One like bitch in LA came up to me recently. Didn't know me at all. She was like, your hoops during the pandemic, like, way too big.
Unknown
Wow.
James
And I was like. I was like, experimenting. I get like, we're all going crazy. Let me wear some big hoops sometimes.
Jordan Firstman
Do you get that a lot with being kind of like having the parasocial relationship where people come up to you and talk to you like they know you and you're like, I don't know you.
James
I think. I think it's a very thin line between, like, with. Especially with gay guys. Like, they don't realize what I'm doing is like, observational and like, hopefully witty and thought through. He's doing work on his laptop right now, taking notes for the description.
Unknown
You.
James
He's like, got. I got to answer his emails.
Unknown
Thanks, sweetie. Yeah, yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Searching body and Clyde glasses.
James
But like, a lot of people could be like, oh, you're funny and gay. Like you're just a. And then they'll be like, oh, my God, I hate you. Like, they'll just like, say that. Like, I'm like, that's.
Jordan Firstman
Are you. You're my best friend and I hope you die.
James
Exactly.
Jordan Firstman
Damn.
Unknown
So that's la, though.
Jordan Firstman
How do you counteract that?
James
I'm just like, try to get away as you know, it's like once you engage, it's like becomes a whole thing. So. Ah, nice to meet you.
Jordan Firstman
I hate you too.
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, they. They are familiar with you. They're kind of a supporter in their own way.
James
Yeah. And they really just want to connect and they think that's how I will like it.
Unknown
Right.
Jordan Firstman
Right.
James
But I'm not.
Jordan Firstman
How should people connect with you?
Unknown
What's the best first way to make a first impression?
James
Like, normal.
Jordan Firstman
Your hoops.
James
Good vibe.
Jordan Firstman
Your hoops weren't too small.
James
Yeah. All the big hoops I. Whatever they're saying, I didn't.
Unknown
It's the perfect size.
Jordan Firstman
The big ones hurt, the big hoops hurt.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
What about the necklace?
James
I think I got it in like turkey or so just like a random.
Unknown
What are you doing in turkey? Little.
James
No.
Unknown
Okay. Just double checking.
James
I was on a vacation, but I do. I want to out myself.
Unknown
You want to put the mic closer to your mouth, though.
James
Do I? I did do it recently, but in LA with the expensive guy.
Unknown
Really?
James
I don't mind, actually, like, all of these.
Jordan Firstman
We're talking hair plugs.
James
Yeah. Fake Hollywood. Is that. Is that. They're like, public. Is like. Like you could talk about anyone in the world. Just don't say you got a hairdresser. Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
This LA hair plug guy is so powerful. He'll snipe you.
James
He did.
Unknown
Is he the guy? Oh, like McConaughey. Harry Styles. So what, you got it touched up in the corners or what was.
James
Yeah, I did. It's kind of. I did a preemptive because I was like, this is gonna happen. And I was like doing the. I tried the finasteride. Couldn't get hard.
Jordan Firstman
Really.
James
Just on the minoxidil. Oral minoxidil, which is fabulous. And then. But now there's this new one called Dutasteride that I take once a week and I'm still getting no side effects. Getting the bone still rock.
Jordan Firstman
Rock. How much does a touch up cost you?
James
It's.
Jordan Firstman
Is it.
James
This guy is. It's severely over. We're talking.
Jordan Firstman
He's the Cadillac of.
James
It's crazy. And even the best ones. I've, like, talked to other people that are like, the best at it and they're like, he is. It's highway robbery what he's doing and where.
Jordan Firstman
He's a genius and where on your. He's an artist. He's the Michelangelo.
James
Literally. No, he. Like, like incision by incision.
Unknown
Right?
Jordan Firstman
Like studying follicle by follicle. Where on your extremely hairy body did you receive the transplant from all pubes? Like, take it from the thickest region?
James
No, just the. Just the back of the.
Jordan Firstman
Oh, it's from head to head. Okay, cool. Do you get to, like, as someone's on camera, did you get to, like, remove yourself from being on camera for a little bit as you went through?
James
Well, I didn't really. They didn't even cut my hair.
Jordan Firstman
Really.
James
They did it with all my hair. Like, modern. I was out. I was at the baby girl premiere four days later. Looking back, I was definitely swollen. I thought I Was fine.
Unknown
The lines say that you were in rehab.
Jordan Firstman
Like, yeah.
James
Do you want to do carpet? I was like, I think I'm okay this round.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. Where. What about your panties?
Unknown
Yeah. What style? What brand?
James
I think I'm wearing just like, some. Some, like, Uniqlo briefs.
Jordan Firstman
Okay.
James
But I do, like. I like a traditional Calvin. Like, brief, but, like, not too thin on the sides. Like a. But not too thick on the side.
Jordan Firstman
Sounds like you're at the hair transplant guy. Okay. And you're sipping on an iced tea, Right? Drink of choice as you observational.
James
Yes.
Jordan Firstman
And a cup of water.
Unknown
We're so good at our job.
Jordan Firstman
Let's get into fit check. Drink check. Complete. Let's get into the meat potatoes of the only podcast matters. Jordan, you're putting out a concept album called Secrets. Can you explain for us the concept?
James
Yes, it's very simple. People submitted me their secrets on Instagram. I used it as fodder for the titles of the songs, which are exquisite, by the way. The titles are kind of art in it of itself.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. They're selling point of the album for sure. Pennies in my.
Unknown
Yeah, come on now.
James
Can't beat that. No, you can't beat that.
Unknown
Well, maybe you could if it was like, a little bit of higher currency, like a dime or a quarter.
James
Well, did you listen to the song? I go in higher currency.
Unknown
And I'm just saying for the title.
James
For the title.
Unknown
Yeah.
James
All right. No.
Unknown
And you don't even need to me to get those. You know, that's true. That's free. Not even costing a penny.
Jordan Firstman
Don't Blake. Slacking to get back in.
Unknown
Yeah, right.
James
Literally.
Unknown
Were people submitting anonymously or do you know the.
James
I can see them, but I don't, like, even look. I do them so fast that I don't even. And, like, who knows? Like, people might be lying. Yeah, like, you know, and every song.
Jordan Firstman
Is a different genre. Is the other kind of, like, angle.
James
I would say every song is a different genre.
Jordan Firstman
Hence the gene therapy gender transition pun in the intro. Did that go over your head?
James
Oh, my God.
Jordan Firstman
That's why.
James
Wait, wait. Say it again. Say it.
Jordan Firstman
That's why. It's what jeans you prefer. He's transitioning genres in his Levi's jeans, making you horse moan in therapy.
James
Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Were there any secrets that were submitted to you that were just too gnarly to turn into a song that you, like, even made your toes curl a little bit?
James
I mean, I felt like I get the one of Like I was at a glory hole and I found out it was my dad. But I'm like, yeah, you're lying. I have a song when I. When I know someone's lying. I have a song called you're lying for clout that I sing. And I. And they know and they should feel bad.
Jordan Firstman
Okay. They should.
James
Cuz I'm like, just get your own secret.
Jordan Firstman
Was there any that you're like, whoa, that actually does sound pretty there.
James
I've gotten a lot of like murdery.
Unknown
Ones o like people admitting to crimes.
James
I killed someone.
Jordan Firstman
Like, thank you, Fred Durst.
James
Keep, keep swiping.
Unknown
Wow.
James
I didn't see anything.
Jordan Firstman
I didn't see anything.
James
And then during the pandemic, definitely a lot of like, I'm. I'm gonna kill myself.
Unknown
What do you say when someone. It's a cry for help to you. What do you do?
James
You're like, do a flip.
Jordan Firstman
You're too sexy.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Do you have a deep dark secret you'd like to get off your chest right now?
Unknown
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Go off that we can turn into pod fodder.
Unknown
Yeah. That's maybe darker than you wanting to, James.
James
No, that was not dark. That's light.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah, that's light. That's light.
Unknown
That's a great starter.
James
Love and light. A deep dark. I feel like I've like, I. My friends know this story, but my first ever sex party I went to, I like really was like hyping myself up to go when I was like 20 and I ended up my pants on the way there because I was so nervous. Wait, full diarrhea in the car there?
Jordan Firstman
Too many poppers.
James
Yeah, no, I was so nervous.
Jordan Firstman
Really?
James
I was young. Yeah, I was really young.
Jordan Firstman
Did you keep going to the party?
James
Yeah, and I went home, clean the poop off of my butt and my car and change. I hope I changed. And I went to the sex party and ended up meeting my now ex there.
Jordan Firstman
Oh, wow.
James

James
I think later I told him. Later I told him.
Jordan Firstman
Did you fuck that night?
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
The. So that your douche was really the MVP of that night.
James
Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah, maybe that's like good.
Jordan Firstman
That's crazy. Wait, is shitting your pants from nerves like a common occurrence with you?
James
I think for Jews it's just like you never know when you're gonna shit your pants.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. Oh, the scallops.
James
I still shit my pants once a year.
Jordan Firstman
Really? Yowzers, have we shat our pants in 2025 yet?
Unknown
No, we're due maybe. Maybe Right now?
James
No, but there's always. Especially when you're in la, you're gonna be stuck in traffic, and it's like you get into your. Your parking space or wherever, and you're, like, running to the door and. So would you consider if, like, a little comes out right before you get to the toilet?
Jordan Firstman
Yeah.
James
No.
Unknown
I think so. That count? I mean, technically, you. Your pants.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Wait, if it's. If it's the moment between pulling down, dropping trout.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
You're okay. Okay.
James
I've had that happen this year.
Unknown
Oh, nice.
Jordan Firstman
Is this, like. And is it nerves? Is it diet? Is just your Jewish constitution?
James
I think it's my Jewish constitution.
Unknown
So I'm the strongest Jew of all time. I've only my parents. Like, I could count on one hand the amount of times I've shipped myself as an adult.
James
Wow.
Unknown
Yeah.
James
Yeah. I think five times.
Unknown
I'm the ubermensch, dude.
James
You're what?
Unknown
The ubermensch.
James
Right.
Jordan Firstman
He shot himself in an Uber. You and Kanye.
James
He's a good guy and he takes Ubers.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. Since you put out the first single, the album, I want to see my friend's dicks. Have any friends sent you dick pics?
James
Oh, close friends, Kind of. Not really.
Jordan Firstman
Really?
James
I would want some more friends to be doing it.
Jordan Firstman
Like, what about casual acquaintances?
James
Definitely. But I feel like I've. I've already gotten those before, but in person, I would like a lot more. It would be fun if I start to do live shows and people, like, whip their dicks out. Yeah.
Unknown
You might go to jail, but. Or they might go to jail. Oh, inciting a riot.
James
Either. I heard a story. When does this come out?
Jordan Firstman
April 9th.
James
Oh, perfect. So I have a. I love that day, but I have a. A collab. I think he's the one who told me the story. A collab with Jimmy Pop from Bloodhound Game.
Jordan Firstman
Oh, cool.
James
And he told me he got arrested in Switzerland or something for public indecency because he. He whipped his out, I think at a show. Either saw Tick Tock or he did it.
Unknown
Yeah, okay. One or the other.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. But was no one. No one heard the single. Was like, oh, Jordan wants to see my pee pee.
James
I don't know my. I like. I feel like I. 1. I don't have that many real friends. You know what I mean?
Jordan Firstman
That's very. Sorry. I have, like, five, you have two more. You have seven now.
James
And I just feel like, oh, they're like, Jordan's doing his thing again. It's like, when is Jordan not talking about dicks.
Jordan Firstman
Right.
James
So they're like, it' just another day in Jordan land.
Jordan Firstman
Is it hard to turn it off? Like turn off the. The Entertainer comedic switch?
James
I don't.
Jordan Firstman
No, seriously, guys, I really. I really want to see your penises.
Unknown
Yes.
James
Sometimes. Yeah, sometimes with friends that I do have like a sexual chemistry with, it is hard to like be like. No, I actually want to. I think we should actually hook up.
Unknown
Right? Please.
James
That's why I tend to do it more with people I don't know.
Unknown
Is there a friend whose penis you'd particularly like to see that maybe this song, whether like explicitly or like latently was written for?
James
I would love to see. I wouldn't call us close friends, but we're buddies. I would love to see Noah Centineo's dick.
Unknown
Okay.
James
I would love to see Charles Melton's dick.
Unknown
Who wouldn't?
James
I mean. Yeah, these are just like hot.
Unknown
You're just like manifesting.
James
Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown
That's a good.
Jordan Firstman
Chuck, if you're listening.
Unknown
Yeah, Chuck.
James
You guys are really good.
Jordan Firstman
Half Asian, right?
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
There you go.
James
I think he's full. No, maybe he is.
Unknown
Why? They wouldn't necessarily just get along, but that would. He seems like a cool guy.
Jordan Firstman
Well, you have. So let's talk about though, you rating dick. Pick submissions on your only fans. So this was. Is related. It's like, this is genius marketing related to the album. Right. Where people can send you dick pics.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
And you review them via the written word on an only fans.
James
Yes.
Jordan Firstman
Have you made a shitload of money on of?
James
I started this truly 24 hours ago.
Unknown
What.
Jordan Firstman
What's the number at?
James
We're like around like 400 at this in a day.
Unknown
Dollars or 400?
James
400. 400. People like have signed up.
Unknown
Oh, wow.
Jordan Firstman
How many dicks have you reviewed?
James
I've reviewed two so far.
Jordan Firstman
Can we.
James
Yeah, but that's, you know, a nice 4k a month, right? Not bad.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. 10 bucks.
Unknown
You do what you love. You never work a day in your life.
James
I know. That's.
Jordan Firstman
How many. How many dick pic submissions have you gotten?
James
Like, like 100 probably.
Unknown
Oh, you indulge or embold. Just I should say with your most recent.
James
I'll read you. Do I have my. Where's my phone go?
Jordan Firstman
Oh, there's a phone floating.
James
Ladies.
Unknown
Okay. Oh my God.
Jordan Firstman
Pick submissions.
James
Okay, I'll read you.
Unknown
It's a preview of why you guys should sign up and give your hard earned money to Jordan.
James
But I'm getting. Basically. I did. I was gonna do it. I Was gonna just do it on, like, Tumblr or Twitter or something. And then my lawyers were like, there's. You're gonna. You're gonna get in trouble because you can't verify age. You can't verify that it's them. So now I have them sign a release form. They have to, like, wow, their ID's in.
Unknown
Damn.
Jordan Firstman
Holy.
Unknown
Hollywood changed you, dude.
Jordan Firstman
Damn.
James
I know.
Jordan Firstman
Literally, you're like pornhub.
Unknown
So I guess, do we have to see the dick to get the con? Do we need the context?
James
If you want to, yeah.
Unknown
Okay. Why don't the dick and then that's the pick.
Jordan Firstman
Okay.
Unknown
Nice.
James
Yeah. So I said, I like it. Yeah. The body is hot. The dick is nice. It's giving me a nice. I don't give a fudge, Hunter Biden vibe. Feels like you're probably in a hotel room for work, which eludes some sort of fantasy. You're just stopping by a small city for work. You invite me over late at night, leave the door open, let me get to work. Really into the body. Upon further inspection. Worked out, dad bought as kind of the blueprint. Also, what I like about this pick is I feel I have a sense of your face without seeing it. You're just a normal dude looking for other normal dudes to have some fun with no pretense. Straight to the point. Also, you can tell you were hard before this and let it get a little soft. Yeah, that's always the best. That's always when the dick looks the best, in my humble opinion. Really great work on this one. If I had one note, I would say the hotel room could read a little party and play vibes. Again, Hunter Biden Corps, but it's on the edge, so I wouldn't worry too much. You sent me two, and this was definitely preferred the hard one. I have more notes, but this is a nice pick and tells a good story.
Jordan Firstman
Oh, you went with the. You want the recently hard, more flaccid one. Yeah.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Not bad. Are you gonna submit all 100? Are you gonna review all 100 submissions that you've gotten so far?

Jordan Firstman
Really? Tom Cruise said. Tom Cruise said that to you?
James
Yeah. Yeah. Travolta is a bit of a bitch. He's kind of talented. I like the impressions, but he's a total clout chaser. Wow. Tom Cruise.

Jordan Firstman
He doesn't do his own stunts.
James
But. No, I mean. So I kind of, like, I. I wanted to involve my friends, but I think, like, the collabs on the album feel very, like, interesting and unique and, like, I wanted them to not just feel like I was, like, I was asking my friends. Right. Favors.

Jordan Firstman
No.
Unknown

James

Jordan Firstman
Who's the most fun Nepo baby to party with?
James
Kaya.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
James
Kaya is, like, read books. Like, no. She, like, gets down. She dances. She's like, next place, next place, next bar, next club. Like, she's just like. She has a. She has a lust for life.

Jordan Firstman
I don't know.
Unknown
She's the Michael Jordan of partying, dude.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
She.
James
Yeah. MVP. MVP 100. Yeah, we've had some fun. We took a trip to Italy last summer and had some really fun, fun nights there. Yeah. Just throughout the year. So many. Just like endless nights. Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Seeing every sunrise. Every song is a different genre.
James
Yeah, right, you mentioned that.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah. What genre were you most excited to dabble in? Ooh, it really runs the whole game.
James
Yeah. I will say the like the R and B that ran through, like, I just like, I think everyone will know the reference. I'm trying not to get sued because it's so similar to one song, but the ref I that one. Or honestly, like purposely relapsing for attention is kind of like Chaka Khan Rufus vibes. Like, tell Me Something Good is like one of my favorite songs.
Unknown
Classic.
James
And so that was fun. I really actually like, poop is PNP is poop, which is like, I kind of reference like ray of light, Madonna, like what it. What it feels like for a girl is a really great song.
Jordan Firstman
I thought though, that every poo poo is a pee pee, but not every pee pee is a poo poo.
James
Yeah. I mean, the point of the song is that it doesn't make sense.
Jordan Firstman
Okay.
James
You know what I mean? It's like straight guys actually don't understand that song. Every girl that hears it, like, kind of loves it. And then like, Blake didn't want it on the album. Like Zach didn't want it on the album. Like, everyone's like, I don't get this. I'm like, yeah, cuz you're like a dumb guy with girls that. That like would talk like this.
Jordan Firstman
So explain to the streets why poop is PNP's poop.
James
Basically, it's a guy. It's a guy be like being like, like I over this girl. Word on the street is that girls are talking about me like I'm a dick. So I'm like, I'm. My sister told me I should call and apologize to you. And I've been like, doing a lot of reflection and like, I think I'm gonna. I am about to say something that's gonna rectify every bad thing I did to you. Poop is pnp. So he's just saying nothing. Like it's basically the metaphor is that like when men apologize, right. It's meaningless and they are actually saying poo poo is peepee My most esoteric song. But I hope the girlies are getting it.
Jordan Firstman
This is the Rachel. Yeah, she's on there, right? Yeah. She's like oh, my God. That makes sense.
James
It makes so much sense now because you're a genius. I mean, all men are, but yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah, yeah, that's true. And our salaries reflect that. What was the most difficult genre to nail for you?
James
I had trouble. I'm a lesbian. I went through like multiple genres to finally land on, like the Alanis Morissette, Lilith Fair vibe. And I think vocally I struggled with that the most because a lot of these songs are. Are meant for women to sing.
Unknown
Right.
James
But I'm.
Unknown
I have a male voice taking away women's jobs.
James
Yes. Yes. That's cool. I took away I'm a lesbian from Muna.
Unknown
You took it back.
James
But yeah, I was. I had to re record that so many times because I just wasn't like nailing the vocal quality was. Blake did.
Jordan Firstman
Blake. Would you work with Blake on every track?
James
No, Blake did Friends Dicks. Quitting my job tomorrow. One song that actually is not gonna be on the album, which is maybe for the deluxe. Save it for the further deluxe. Maybe the label is having a hard time with. It's the best song on the album.
Unknown
Is this the sample clearance issue?
James
No, it's the one. It's the one that says the word.
Jordan Firstman
Oh. Oh.
James
Fun stuff. Yeah. We're having a hard time with the label.
Unknown
Okay.
Jordan Firstman
Yeah.
James
But it's a really good song and I hope. I hope it gets to come out someday. And then he did that and. Oh, no, he didn't do that either. We can't say that. He's not putting his name on it. He won't put his name on that.
Unknown
We should probably cut. I don't know. We should probably cut this hole.
James
Yeah. Also, Blake did so Blake Slatkin, he did Friends Dicks, Tamari and Ran Through.
Jordan Firstman
Okay.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Did you ever have any tension with like, as. As being a first time producer but full time diva? Do you ever have any tension or, like, like fights with production or the label also? What's the label?
James
The label is Capitol Records.
Jordan Firstman
Shout Out. Capitol Records Records.
James
They heard myself trying to. And she needs to chill and they signed me immediately after.
Unknown
Right.
James
Not kidding. I walked. It was like. It was very Natalie Portman and Black Swan moment. Like, I walked out the door and I like, had the call from, like right there.
Unknown
Yeah.
James
We would love to do this with you.
Jordan Firstman
Whose dick did you suck?
James
I got it signed and then Weird.
Jordan Firstman
Al Yankee's like, whose dick did you suck?
James
It's gonna be painful. That's my biggest op when it.
Unknown
When it comes to working with a homie. Like, Blake, do you get, like, a. Like a discount rate?
James
He just, like, he just took a huge back. You know, like, he didn't take his. His rate. Like, we just never.
Jordan Firstman
Blake has a huge back end for sure, actually.
James
T. Like, amazing ass.
Jordan Firstman
Big.
James
Yeah.
Unknown
Big, Big studio.
James
Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Is this.
Unknown
So you.
Jordan Firstman
You mentioned this to me in our dms because we dm. Is this a breakup album?
James
I mean, I will say it's funny. I. Like, I sent it to my sister, and she kind of, like, looked at it in a deeper way. And a lot of the songs are about relationships. Like, I didn't even mean it to be that way, but, like, at least, like, 75% are about, like, kind of shitty men or just, like, how relationships are hard. I did go through a breakup in July and started the album, like, a week later. So I see it as a breakup album in the fact that, like, you know, when you go through a hard breakup, like, you just have all this, like, energy and creativity.
Unknown
So that take your mind off of that too.
James
Yeah. Yeah.
Jordan Firstman
Catharsis.
Unknown
Yeah.
James
Yeah. That's why I got addicted to doing it. Like, I wanted to be in the studio every day to avoid your problems as much as possible. And then now they're coming back again.
Jordan Firstman
You and Kanye, same person.
James
Yeah, it's the same thing. Where's my Bianca? You're gonna.
Jordan Firstman
You're gonna sue your ex for. Or sue your children, I guess, is what he's doing now. I don't know.
James
He's gonna. Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
Jordan Firstman
Has your ex. Does your ex. Has he heard the album at all?
James
He. We haven't spoken since. Since that last call.
Jordan Firstman
Are you nervous at all about how he might take it or react to it or.
James
There's nothing. There's literally nothing about him. I'm like, I. He's an angel to me. Like, I. I love him for the rest of my life. It just didn't.
Unknown
Because you broke up with him.
James
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
Got it, got it.
James
Yeah.
Unknown
So you're not trying to dunk on him with, like, look, I'm signed to capital. I got my record.
James
No, if any. If any. If there's any. I had one diss track about my grandma at a. It's called My Grandma's a Fire. I felt a little too Lonely Island. We kept it. You know, we're going high level. Highbrow, for sure.
Unknown

Jordan Firstman
So there's so many.
James
I did so many.
Jordan Firstman
Was There one that's prolific. Was there one that surprised you with how hard it resonated?
James
I would always. It was the opposite. I mean, yes, like, everyone that I thought was dumb did well, and everyone that I thought was good. Flop.
Jordan Firstman
That's pretty much how it goes.
Unknown
Yeah.

James
I could have mocked something up before, but it's like I'm, you know, I'm. I'm like, I'm good at talking off the cuff, but when it comes to like, a specific thing, not a monkey that just. I need. I need at least like 10 minutes.
Jordan Firstman

Jordan Firstman
Yeah.
James
To want to do that.
Unknown
Oh, right.
James
But it's like, there's a certain point you're like, I'm, like, working so hard. Everything is so hard to make and do that. I'm like, oh, so I'm gonna get no validation at all.

Yeah. Right.
James
Why am I doing it? For the money.

Yeah.
Jordan Firstman

James
I would say My heart is a writer, really? For sure.
Unknown
That's how you started, right?
James
Yeah, I started as a writer. I think, like, even. Even the. You know, this album, to me, is way more of, like, a. A writing exercise than, like, a performance. I didn't, like, get as much pleasure out of performing the songs as I did, like, writing them and conceptualizing them. And, you know, I'm about to make my first feature, which I've been writing for two years, that I'm. I'm really happy with.
Jordan Firstman
What can you tell us about that?
James
But, yeah, it's like. It's like Big Daddy meets Party Girl.

Jordan Firstman
Microchip in the scri.
James
Something like that. I mean, to even log in to get the script is like this eight step verification process. I'm like, I don't know how like Julie Louise Dreyfus would do this. Like, no, like, she's probably tech savvy.
Jordan Firstman
We've gotten screeners of HBO shows. It is. It is very annoying.
Unknown
Super annoying.
James
They are the. They're from everyone I've worked with. They are the most locking.
Unknown
Well, I mean, it's not tv, it's hbo.
James
Yeah. That's probably why they're doing that.
Unknown
Exactly.
James
I feel like at this point it's like, like anything. No one is watching anything really. So, like, like having spoilers out is going to be good for the show.
Unknown
People are going to watch this. I mean, this is.

James
Oh, it would have been a strain on the relationship. But I will say, I mean, I. Obviously, she's one of my best friends. I would have understood, but she always, like, wanted me, so it would have been an hbo.
