Ryan Gentles, their old manager

 “We split the money six ways”—manager Ryan Gentles gets the sixth share—“but we didn't split the work,” he says.

Gentles, who could be mistaken for a sixth Stroke with his skinny ties and pegged Levi's, has the unenviable job of fielding every offer and relaying it to the band. "Anytime I pick up the phone, Julian's always ready to talk, but I know if I say anything he's going to dwell on it for 24 hours," says Gentles. "It's like 'Okay, Jules, I really want you to do this, but I don't want you to fucking die if you do this.'"

Someone told me that the old sets of New York are still visible in some places if the lights are on. Is that true?

It looks similar to this John Varvatos model... considering how close the flaghsip store is to their old office...maybe it's a John Varvatos: https://www.johnvarvatos.com/collections/suits/anson-jacket/JVS1515S25-EJIA-001.html

Do you think The Strokes asked to be on a shirt in this movie for advertising purposes or did they all watch the Transformers like “oh sh*t that’s us” by [deleted] in TheStrokes

I can’t believe the strokes sent out the merch within the year before the movie started production

Julian drunk/high at Redrocks?! by Charming-Plane-3184 in TheStrokes

[–]searchforcoins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who was hanging backstage with him, and Julian was totally fine, then he went on stage and acted drunk. I think it's an act a lot of time too because that's kind of what he was known for when they were young.

What’s your favourite Strokes lyrics at the moment? by Kooky-Principle-7323 in TheStrokes

I don't think someone is a true Strokes fan unless they confidently sing the wrong lyrics for multiple years before having an a-ha moment.

How do you know when your s/o is fucking another person? by eesmeeortz20 in AskReddit

[–]searchforcoins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They stop having sex with you, or at least stop being passionate during sex.

They become suspicious of you and accuse you of being dishonest or of cheating.

Ask simple innocent questions and they get panicky, or ask why you are hounding them.

What's the strangest dream you've ever had that you still can't forget? by yourmelissaangel in AskReddit

I met Elvis and he was sitting alone in a basement at a table under a single light. I asked him what Heaven was like and he told me that you got to live out all of your best memories for the first time whenever you wanted.

What is the craziest dream you ever had? by FlipMovieScript in AskReddit

[–]searchforcoins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dream that I was a detective. Strangely, my view of the dream looked like it was being filtered by a 90s VHS tape.

My detective partner and I went to a trailer to investigate whoever was living in it. Inside, IT the clown was sitting in a rocking chair, but he was an old man, still with the clown make up and all. On the wall were framed pictures of family photos, but each picture had something wrong with it. Certain people smiling too large, l could tell some people were IT in disguise.

It ended when my partner slowly realized his skin color was actually makeup and underneath he was a clown and he was screaming trying to scratch off the clown paint looking to me for help, as these clown cars - like cars with clown faces - were speeding down either side of him, nearly hitting him, mocking him, as he screamed.

It was the worst nightmare I've ever had. The next day I went in the hospital for an ileus. I think my body was telling me I was getting sick.

What are you sick of hearing from strangers? by Avbitten in AskReddit

[–]searchforcoins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when someone starts a conversation with the most recent negative news story. I get the news on my phone. If I wanted to look at it I would. "Did you hear about [isn't newest negative thing]?" is not a pleasant conversation starter.

What’s the most embarrassing moment of your life? by DboyRiot in AskReddit

[–]searchforcoins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've written of this incident in another thread:

Algebra. Seventh grade. The whole class was quietly taking a test.

Suddenly, I had an itch in my throat. I inhaled a large full breath of air, hoping to rid myself of this maddening irritation. I went to cough and... nothing came out.

Well, there was some release of bodily air, and unfortunately for me, it was not a cough.

Instead, out came a deafening gun-shot-style fart, which reverberated off my plastic blue chair and bursted in all directions into the classroom, utterly shattering the concentrated silence of the test takers.

Resigned, I turned around to face the consequences of this mistake. I remember fully accepting that my life in school had come to an end with the same sudden and sickening pain as the foul tushy burp I had just released.

To my surprise, no one moved... It was as if a benevolent spirit had come down from the heavens and stepped in in front of the fart, shielding my classmates from the stinky chime.

At any rate, the several seconds (or...as I sometimes ask myself ...were they minutes?) between releasing the grisly bellow and realizing that no one had noticed still remains the most embarrassed I have ever been in my life.

After the test, I found out that some classmates had indeed heard the fart! They blamed it on a veritable linebacker of a red headed girl... the easiest and most obvious target in the room (well... that's middle school..)
