I am staying with Harry in Hollywood. Yes, we are doing this podcast live in Hollywood.
The two were blasting Taylor Swift together. Coming down from Beachwood Canyon straight from Beachwood Cafe. Doesn’t get more LA than that with the Hollywood sign behind us.
Spicy is what the theme of this trip is about. Spicy from the hand tattoo I just got from Leweelyn. Spicy from all the walks we did every morning.
We’ve got Max “Baby Gooby baby dog bubble gum shrimp.” Crab’s Cute dog.
Harry broke his rule again on coming on podcasts. No I didn’t pay him $10,000.
Please welcome Abigail West and Harry Gassel to Wear Many Hats.
I’m out here for the On Air Fest Podcast Festival that was at the legendary KCRW studios and Dublub. Met Hanif, one of my favorite authors, writers, and Rishi from Song Exploder.
How did you two meet?
Abby did you Google Harry before anything? What did you find?
Los Angeles
I’m glad we were able to get Erewhon before we started the show. On the Postmates app it really do be saying it’s exclusive to only that app. Would have got the Hailey Bieber smoothie but it wasn’t on there. The Poosh smoothie will be just fine.
We did every LA thing in the past 24 hours. Go to Sqirl, Bagels at Courage, I got vintage at Varsity, more grail vintage at 194, Harry and Abby went to go see SG Lewis and didnt have a good time, I went to go see George Clinton at his opening. Ran into Jack Black in Los Feliz.
Abby
That’s where you live right Abby?
We went to your house, first time I’m reading the Frank Ocean Magazine even though I had it. Unwrapped because I’m too precious;
Frank Ocean. Tell me about the poster behind me.
Abby so you’re influencer adjacent but not an influencer.
I know before we talked about how you were friends with Carter Cruise.
How did you get into Entertainment, you wanted to be Carter Cruise but kept it PG instead?
Harry
So what’s cool is that Harry, I know you want to throw the Talk Magazine Issue 4 party since the magazines are done. You want to throw the party in NYC. Seems like Abby is assisting ya.
How bad do you want to come back to NYC?
Hats off
Hats off to you and everything that you do, for some Dahsar Wear Many Hats solutions, Dahsar Wear Many Hats Talk Magazine should get Abby to move to NYC.
Ending
If you were to get a chest tattoo quote what would it be?
Plug your socials where can people find you?
Till next time this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar and I’m Rashad Peace!
