DANNY BOWIEN & JUSTIN HAGER Q&A

This was a verbal conversation between Simlah “Shimmy”, Danny and Justin on April 5th, 2021 at Mission Chinese in Brooklyn, NY. The recording was transcribed into the Q&A below. I hope you enjoy!

Transcription and Photography by Simlah Henry

Pick a color.

J: Green

D: I’m gonna go with… like a blueish black. Blue-black.

1.💥WHAT DID YOU EAT LAST NIGHT?

D: I had delivery. It was Vietnamese food from this spot close to my old place. It was okay I haven’t had pho delivered in over a year *laughs*. I had a good day of eating yesterday, me and Mino woke up and went to this Korean spot it’s open 24 hours called “Gammeoak”. We did this bone broth soup and the kimchi is phenomenal. They only have one type it’s crazy.

J: I had a random meal. I had a salad, mac n cheese, and banana bread. It was really good.

D: OH! THAT’S A 3 COURSE MEAL!

J: *laughs* That’s how we eat, we just think about it on the spot.

2.💥WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HAIR AND CLOSE YOUR EYES, WHAT DO YOU USUALLY THINK ABOUT?

D: Honestly. Weirdly, a lot of time when I’m washing my hair I think about food *laughs* or like recipes sometimes. Like when I’m exercising I think about the potential of a new dish or something we’ve been trying to figure out and put together. You probably hear it a lot from people, “I get the best breakthroughs when you’re showering” *laughs* that’s me.

J: A lot of ideas come to me in the shower but when I’m washing my hair I’m bummed cause it’s gonna look really stupid after I wash it *laughs*. I wash it once a week but when it’s time I don’t wanna mess it up.

D: He wants scene hair.

J: *laughs* Exactly.

3.💥SOUP OR SALAD

J: Soup. *giggles*

D: That is an amazing restaurant *laughs* ! Do you remember that restaurant? Souper Salad is a humongous southern salad bar, it’s really good it’s like S-O-U-P-E-R salad. But honestly, I like my salad in my soup. I know it sounds gnarly but when you eat Korean food a lot of times they’ll have a lot of different greens you can put in your soup, it’s really good.

J : Kinda like pho with herbs.

D: Yeah! They get kinda soft, it’s delicious.

4.💥 WHAT SHOE DO YOU PUT ON FIRST?

J: I’m left-handed so I always do my left shoe first.

D: I do right. Probably right? Yeah, I do right it would be weird to do the other shoe.

J: I’ve done left so long it’s so hard to even try the other way *laughs*.

D: Mino has been using a shoehorn lately, he’s using it to learn how to tie his shoes.

J: That’s amazing! I didn’t know what a shoe horn was till like 5 years ago *laughs*!

5.💥 WHAT’S THE FIRST ALBUM YOU BROUGHT ON YOUR OWN AS A KID?

D: I remember getting arrested at a Walmart for stealing *laughs*!

J: WHAT!?

D: Not arrested but they grabbed me and called my dad it was the most embarrassing thing! I tried stealing 3 CDs, it was really embarrassing! Lemme think… it was this band “Blessid Union of Souls” and I wanna say it was the “Candle Box” album cause my parents were super christian so I couldn’t get like explicit music an-

S: THAT’S WHY YOU WENT TO WALMART!

D: *laughing* Yes that’s why I went to Walmart.

J: OHHHHHH.

D: I think the other one was Mariah Carrey I-

J: WOW! *laughing* That’s amazing.

D: Yeah! It was Blessid Union of Souls, Candle Box, and a Mariah Carey album. I tried stuffing them in my pants and I’m walking through the Walmart parking lot and these 2 dudes tackled me to the ground forcing their hands down my pants-

Us: NO!!

D: Yeah. They called my dad it was pretty funny all he said was “It’s fine”. *laughing* He was like “don’t steal from Walmart”.

J: Yeah my first, honestly, I got two at the same time cause this song was just stuck in my head. I got Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” and Morrissey’s “Your Arsenal”. Those were my first two.

D: I mean the first album I brought was “Van Halen Greatest Hits” on CD that’s the first one I brought cause I got a gift certificate for Christmas to Best Buy and I got “Mxpx -Life in General” *giggles*.

J: Insane.

D: I had this little shitty, it wasn’t shitty it was an Aiwa. It was under Sony like Walkman and Aiwa was a division of Sony they had really cool logos.

6.💥 IF YOU WASN’T DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DO?

Long pause…

D: I have no idea.

J: I couldn’t imagine *laughs*.

D: I feel like I would be a youth pastor *laughs*.

J: *laughs hard*

D: I’m joking I’m joking but I have been dressing a lot like a youth pastor lately. I’m always checking with Sara like “Do I look like a youth pastor?”

J: *laughs even harder*

D: Yeah I don’t know what I would be doing.

J: I think it was meant for me to be doing something creative just cause I’ve always been into weird stuff. When I was little, I used to alter my clothes, since I can remember so I just do the same thing pretty much.

D: Recently I thought about trying to be a fitness instructor like being a spin instructor.

S: With the dress shoes right?

D: Yeah but with church shoes on.

J: Ahhh!

7.💥 DREAM CAR, THE COLOR, AND THE SONG YOU’RE PLAYING LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP?

D: Oh I know what car I want! I’m trying to get a car right now, I want a 2008 Subaru STI Hatchback, white with gold rims, or like the bronze rims. There are some good deals on that car, it’s like 4 doors, they’re fast as hell. Scar and I were talking about it, I showed Mino today and he’s like “Wow gold rims?!”

S: What song are you playing thogh? You just paid cash, what’s the first song you’re playing?

D: I don’t know. I like Drake’s “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” right now *laughs*. I’ve been listening to it a lot, it is so good! Here I’ll put it on … it’s Drake and Rick Ross.

J: DUDE I’VE BEEN LISTENING TO A GOOD BIT OF RICK ROSS! THE BOSS ALBUM!? The cover had a chain made out of his face.

D: I feel like I would have to play DMX’s “Up in Here”.

S & J: OMG!!!

D: Fingers crossed for him.

J: I hope he pulls through. My car would have to be like an old school Volkswagen square back. It’s probably my favorite car, it’s probably the coolest looking car to me. Like pea-green maybe burnt orange like a vintage color. That’s like the ultimate car! I’ve wanted that thing since I was a kid.

S: What song?

D: What DMX song?

J : Ooooh…

D: “X Gon Give it to You”? “Slippin”? Na that’s too dark.

J: “Slippin” is probably the best song he’s written.

D: I had that album with him covered in blood in my first car. DMX was the first hip-hop artist to have 3 #1 songs back to back.

S: I was just telling the homie that DMX was robbing people with his dog. I think it’s genius to be honest. Like what are you going to do? Run?

D: Justin, have you seen the documentary?

J: No, I have to check it out.

D: I’ll send it to you, it’s sooo good!!

J: Actually, “How It’s Going Down” is the best.

S: That’s #1 for me.

8.💥BOBBY FLAY OR GORDON RAMSAY?

D: GUY FIERI!! THAT’S IT!

J: *laughs hard* THAT’S AMAZING!

D: That’s it. Neither of those guys *laughs*.

J: Danny Bowien!

D: The guys at High Snob were trying to get me in that Clubhouse chat room. They texted me and asked me to be a guest and I’m like “Yeah, sure I’m down”, then they mention “We wanna get you in one with Guy Fieri” I’m like *gasp* “I would die! My first question would be, what’s your favorite Ben & Jerry’s?”.

J: Oooo that’s good… Wow

9.💥FAVORITE JUNK FOOD?

D: I don’t know. Define junk food…

J: Yeah.

D: I’ll go low…

J: *laughs hard*

D: Beause I don’t wanna offend anyone’s food… You mean what’s food so delicious I would eat it out of the trash?

J: *quickly responds* McDonald’s hash browns.

D: *laughs* OKAY, what’s the number one fast-food hash brown?

J: McDonald’s.

D: McDonald!!! I agree, but this place “Hardee’s” used to do those potato triangles. My mom use to call them potato triangles, it was hash brown. Obviously McDonald’s has the superior hash brown.

J: Absolutely.

D: Then Carls Jr’s- WAIT ARBY’s HAD THE POTATO TRIANGLES! Why does everyone shit on Arby’s so hard? *laughs* I like Arby’s!

Do you like Arby? *asking Sara

The curly fries, the Arby Q sauce, and horsey sauce!

10. 💥 WHAT ARE THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY?

D: *vulnerably* Can I tell people that?

J: *laughs hard*

D : I’ll tell you Shimmy I trust you *laughs*.

J: 6969

D: 6666
