How Long Gone How long gone? Beautiful Sunday here in LA. It's fucking scorching, Jason. You get to fry an egg on Sunset Boulevard. It is, it's something else out there already. How you feeling?
Jason Stewart (0:29)
Feeling good. I mean, it's probably a couple of degrees hotter over here than it is in your West Hollywood. But, you know, I got the AC pumping and clumping. KK did not like the DWP bill this month. We had to have a talk.
Chris Black (0:42)
OK, what is the how you don't have to give numbers, obviously, I don't want you to reveal too much. But what was your what was the percentage up from the DWP bill, you would say, this month in the July, one of the hottest months in the world, especially considering global warming and your your geolocation?
Jason Stewart (0:58)
I don't know if she has it set up on like every three months or every month or whatever, but it was f*****.
Chris Black (1:05)
Oh, yeah, I've hit that many times. But you're saying this bill, oh, is this unfortunately the bill that's in her name that she gets?
Jason Stewart (1:10)
That's right. That's right.
Chris Black (1:11)
Yeah. See, that's the problem. Maybe you should switch this. I mean, just as a man, you know what I mean? Like it might be better.
Jason Stewart (1:18)
We share the, the billing is spread out across.
Chris Black (1:22)
Bro, I know how it works to be in a modern marriage. I'm just saying to you, I'm just saying to you, maybe the ones that you know, that TJ getting a little spendy on, you know what I mean?
Jason Stewart (1:33)
But yeah, that's the thing. I'm not getting spendy on it. Cause DWP does water and power. Sure, the water costs a little less than the power.
But you know, the AC is, the AC, it's set to like 77 or something like that. It's not...
Chris Black (1:48)
That's crazy, bro.
Jason Stewart (1:49)
I'm not being, you know, psycho with it.
Chris Black (1:52)
My shit hit 70
As soon as June hits, we're 70 men. That's where we start at.
Jason Stewart (1:58)
Sure.
Chris Black (1:58)
That's where we start at.
Jason Stewart (1:59)
But every temperature is different. Every room is different. One, you know, 74 in one hotel is ice cold.
Chris Black (2:07)
I only got two rooms, so it's fine. We're good to go, New York. This is an open floor plan.
Jason Stewart (2:14)
But also, you know, the sauna, be eating up some electricity, too. But not that much. Like, it's not crazy. It doesn't affect it that much. But when the problem is the sauna makes the house hotter, which then turns the air conditioner on.
So it's a little self-fulfilling prophecy.
Chris Black (2:30)
Why don't you put the sauna outside? I've never even asked that.
Jason Stewart (2:34)
Well, first of all, it's not an outdoor sauna. And second of all, I don't know.
Chris Black (2:38)
Oh, you can't, oh, I thought it was, I just assumed. I know it's not the fucking Joe Rogan barrel. I know you have better taste than that, obviously. But I just assumed they were-
Jason Stewart (2:47)
Costco barrel. No, they're not, some of them are, you have to get a specific indoor, outdoor one. A winterized. Just in terms of the- Winterized.
You have to get a winterized sauna unit.
Chris Black (2:58)
That makes sense.
Jason Stewart (2:59)
I don't know if you have to run up a different power thingy or the seals are different for the-
Chris Black (3:04)
It has to be. I mean, even in LA, I know.
Jason Stewart (3:06)
But also, outdoor saunas, unless they're really well maintained, they just sort of have a fine layer of going on there. Like, there's just something about outdoor mildew and-
Chris Black (3:19)
Definitely.
Jason Stewart (3:19)
Just knowing that there's bugs up in there and shit.
Chris Black (3:22)
Well, because you're a pussy and you don't have your cold plunge next to it, that's the real, I think that's really what we're talking about. Because I think if you had the plunge, if you went to Home Depot and got the fucking trough, put some ice in that bitch, then you would have to have it. They have to be next to each other for the content stuff.
Jason Stewart (3:38)
I don't want to do that.
Chris Black (3:39)
When your filmer comes over.
Jason Stewart (3:40)
Because to do the naked run through the house, I slip and fall because I'm all sweaty. What happened to Jason?
