Making a comedy music album based on secrets shared by Internet strangers may not seem an obvious step for Jordan Firstman, who stars in the “English teacher” of FX and the new HBO program of Rachel Sennotttt that is called the call Pilot “IT” of the season.
But there is nothing in Firstman's career that feels that the Hollywood textbook, and that is what makes it such a convincing figure. That, and all jokes.
On Sunday Funday, the people of Los Angeles give us a play per game of their ideal Sunday in the city. Find ideas and inspiration about where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
The actor-writer-director became “famous online” (his words) during the Covid-19 pandemic when he began to make impressions in the social networks of unsuspecting subjects as an iPhone charger not done by Apple, a man who is 5'11 “and the publicist of Banana Breed (” are trying to represent Pumpkin foot now. Interpreting the main role in the dark comedy “Rotting in the Sun”, which premiered in Sunday in 2023.
Firstman's debut album, “Secrets”, released this month, was born from pandemic moments when he asked his followers to introduce his secrets through Instagram stories, and shared them anonymously. Finally, he turned several of the confessions into hilarious and very impressive songs (many of which have salary titles that cannot be published here). “It is best to make art out of life,” says Firstman about the album that challenges gender. “This feels like the most direct way I can do that.”
Always gravitating good vibrations and more jokes, Firstman packs his Sundays with things that delight him. His agenda for a perfect day in Los Angeles includes a boat party, an ice bath and the most glorious spicy shrimp in the city.
This interview has been slightly edited by length and clarity.
Midnight: Sunday begins officially
Are we considering midnight at the beginning of the day? If it is midnight, we still have a couple of hours starting the day, so we are at a party at home or maybe Castle [Marmont] until around 2 or 3 years. I think 3 is the perfect time to go home because you don't seem like you and go home at 2 just because you're in Los Angeles and everyone goes home at 2 in Los Angeles, but you can still sleep until 10 and have a good night. Many of my friends press it too much and go until 5 or 6. Not for me. I am too old for that.
10:30 am: morning bars
We will immediately go to Courage bars. My greatest flexion in Los Angeles is that I can cut the line in healing Bagels because they liked it. I try to use it no more than twice a year because I don't want to lose privilege. I even doubt it because I don't want them to take it off. But I think we have a good DM relationship. If I had my dream, someone would pick up the bars for me and take them to my bed. But I don't have a loved one like this at this time. So we will go to courage, we will reduce the line, we will burn everything with the salty butter.
Then I'll turn around SQIRL Only for drinks. They have a good moca there, and the lavender lemonade is really good.
11 am: strategic training
I will go to Rodeo [Athletic Club]My gym in Silver Lake. Apparently, the secret formula for losing fat is: wait, wait [pulls out his phone] -The method 12-3-30. It is 12% inclination and 3% speed for 30 minutes on the running tape. And I see an episode of “Sex and The City”, “Girls” or “Entourage”, and that is 30 minutes. The moment passes because you are not running. I hate running. So you are walking, but you still get sweaty and feel that you are exercising. And apparently it is better than running. As, that's what Tiktok tells me, and I think everything Tiktok tells me.
Then I will do a couple of minutes in the ice bath. In the last six months, I really got into that. I did eight minutes once. It makes you feel much better emotionally. It is really difficult to be in a bad mood after doing so.
12:30 pm: party in a boat
My friend John Sharp has a boat parked in Marina del Rey. It would spend the day there with a lot of these gay boys from Venice. It is a good and healthy environment. And, you know, we will make some mushrooms, we will drink some natural wine. In general, someone will bring some bread and cheese Gjelina. Then, some friends will have people at home later, and ask for some food. And they will make everyone venmo even before the food arrives. And sometimes I am doing the calculations and I'm like, wait, I don't think you are paying [laughs]. That is the atmosphere, but we love them for it. And they are opening their home, so we can pay their delivery. Alright. But that is usually what ends up happening.
3:30 pm: Be scrubbing
On the way home, I would stop me in Century Day & Night Spa. If this is the best day in history, I would make a body scrub. Because sometimes when you are in the gym, you forget to shower. There are some “bacne”, so you really have to scrub it. And then we will have one of those old and pleasant Korean men eliminate it.
6 PM: Assembly the ideal bite of Sichuan's food
So now we go to San Gabriel Valley. My favorite Sunday restaurant is Chengdu tasteAnd I am ordering a lot. I hope some friends come. All my friends are basically anorexic, or have some kind of eating disorder, so it is difficult to make people eat food fattening with me.
I am obtaining flavored shrimp, crunchy chicken with the peppers of Chile, eggplant, tomato and egg soup, the fried rice of Chengdu and the green beans. The perfect bite is Chengdu fried rice, it is so good and the best fried rice I have had in my life. That with a eggplant bite, which is really soft and almost loaded, and then with one of the shrimp. Oh my God, I'm getting excited so much. It's like the craziest bite in history, and you are sweating and is beautiful.
8 pm: A little fast fun
If this is my ideal Sunday, AF, friend or a casual dalliance that would come, and we would have sex. That would be from 8 to 8:40. Ok, at most, really, from 8 to 8:25. Let's be real. And then he would leave, and then see “the white lotus.”
10 PM: Down with a skin care routine
I would care about the skin after that. Get all my new peptides that I am occupying. Take those syringes. A good mask would be fine, just to look fresh for the next day. In bed for 11.
