00:00 Hello, hello GQ. I'm Eben Moss back rack. These are my essentials
00:04 These are quite essential to me they don't make these anymore
00:16 I'm sad I called speed. I tried to get them to keep making them. They I didn't get through it anybody
00:21 I started swimming seriously, maybe ten years ago
00:24 Cured my back pains my favorite thing place to swim is in the ocean, you know, they're revealing
00:30 My little daughter begged me not to take these in and do this. I really don't like most men's swim shorts
00:36 They're big and baggy. There's a lot of extra fabric. It drags in the water
00:39 It doesn't feel good. What I like about this is that it's high up on the leg
00:43 It doesn't get into a kind of banana hammock II kind of silhouette. These might have been
00:49 Fairly form-fitting when I got him, but they've seen so much Sun and salt that they kind of loosened up and bagged out
00:54 And I cut that's my ideal fit is like a slightly baggy
00:57 Speedo these are actually probably retired. I think you could probably see my ass if the Sun was right
01:03 I got these nice TYR goggles. These are my current goggles of choice
01:06 These are nice because they're navy little navy matching this colorway with the shorts good field of vision comfortable goggle
01:15 Here we have a nice big Dutch oven I like to cook a lot. This is a pretty essential item
01:20 I think for any kitchen it's nice and big and heavy the heavier the better. This is enamel around cast-iron great for
01:27 Braising great for slow cooking. I also like to bake a lot
01:31 Maddie excluded cuz he's like, you know head and shoulders above everybody Jeremy's good, you know to be fair
01:41 We haven't tried too much. I probably cooked more for for up for IO and in line on those guys
01:48 I think Lionel's a pretty good pastry chef
01:50 This is a very beautiful bike that I have I have a couple bikes the frame and fork is it's made by a little outfit
02:00 Down I think in Virginia called crust this particular models called a bomb aura. There's some mermaids on it
02:07 I was building this up a lot over the last few years when we were sort of
02:10 isolated and couldn't go out too much and it was sort of a fantasy to
02:13 Work on this bike and think about um, I could load this bike up and go out for you know, a few days
02:18 Camping or just but mostly I just sort of spin around the neighborhood with it or some longer rides classic Brooks seats
02:26 I got these really comfy bars uncle Ron's orthopedic bars
02:30 They're called got really nice brakes from folks at Paul components great tires
02:35 Pan eraser gravel Kings my favorite tires. I think it just looks really really nice
02:40 I just like looking at it and I like riding it even more
02:43 I got this really ugly bag on it that reminds me of Western Mass which often eschews fashion for something. I
02:50 Love to bike from from the time I was little and I always rode a lot of bikes
02:56 I grew up in a you know out in the countryside
02:57 I never had a car
02:58 It was kind of my freedom my first way to sort of feel like I could get out of my town get out from my
03:03 House and I'd go with friends for long rides and then I started mountain biking
03:07 Spent a lot of time in the woods and then the best way to get around New York I find
03:12 But I don't always use this size
03:16 But what I really what's special to me about this and what's important to me about this is this is this paper brown craft paper
03:23 It's like thick the bite of it kind of like it sort of pulls back
03:27 Against you as you draw
03:28 I like to draw a lot or you know if I'm working on something taking notes think ideas that occur to me about the character
03:34 About the story I got a bunch of drawings in here that I'm gonna keep to myself
03:37 They make them in very in different sizes. I like big ones - they have a really great one. That's like really long
03:42 Like that kind of rectangle like this which almost give you can get like a comic book kind of effect
03:48 This picture looks like Christopher Plummer in Brokeback Mountain gruff Western Christopher Plummer that we never got to see
03:57 Noto rooted oil I'm a bit of a minimalist
04:00 I would say I'm like a stoic, but I do like to have few things that smells
04:06 Really nice, but it can go on your hands body and then hair too. It used to say hair
04:14 Body and face and then they took face off, but I still put it on my face
04:19 I'm making a concerted effort to hydrate more both with water and with you know moisturizer on my face
04:26 I never really thought about it too much, but these days
04:28 I'm trying to remember before I go to bed to put something something kind on my own you know on my face
04:34 Jump ropes they're called cross rope is the company that makes them
04:39 This is a quarter pound rope, and then you can detach this
04:43 And then there's another rope different color a half pound rope pound rope
04:47 And then there's the two pound rope the Kingslayer we call that one that won't really fuck up your shoulder
04:52 Jump rope is a great exercise. I find it really helpful
04:55 Wake up quickly get a lot of energy going quickly get the blood circulating you can really do it in like two minutes
05:00 It's helpful sometimes for scenes in the barrier
05:03 You know before crazy scene if you like five in the morning first thing up just kind of get get everything moving
05:08 The people at cross over really kind and they send us all a bunch of ropes this year
05:11 So now everybody has someone on our set
05:13 Which is sweet was announced recently that you're going to be playing the thing in the new fantastic four yeah, yeah, it's a long shoot
05:20 I want us today. You know injury free. I'm gonna work on my core some Pilates
05:25 Maybe some yoga. I'm trying to figure that out right now
05:28 Fitness essential alert
05:31 Sakhni Sakhoni, I don't know how you say I'm running is important to me these are nice and big and squishy
05:36 I would like probably a more colorful colorway here in New York. I got different paths that I go. I kind of like to
05:43 just sort of head out and turn my brain off and sort of
05:48 Space out and go for a while my ideal time running is maybe between 45 minutes to an hour
05:53 I find that that really can clear my head that way
05:56 Chicago the runs out there obviously there's the there's the lakefront and that's really great, but I've been there
06:02 We're just getting out of winter now there, and it's really cold in the winter on the lake
06:06 So I've just kind of been running through the city
06:08 These are a pair of sunglasses that I procured at my favorite shop eBay
06:13 Varney wrap around sunglasses, I don't know when they were made
06:17 They definitely got some years on them, but they're not like deep deep vintage or anything
06:23 I really enjoy a wrap around sunglass sun protection. I got light eyes
06:27 They're really sensitive to the Sun and these just feel really nice
06:29 They also are like kind of like an embrace this goes hand in hand with one of my other essentials
06:35 Which is a hoodie right now? I'm wearing my proud listener and longtime supporter of democracy now. They give you the straight dope
06:42 Thank you, Amy Goodman. I like hoodies
06:44 I'm a longtime meditator, and I find that you know if you do this
06:50 You can be you know on a park bench in the middle of a busy city
06:54 You can sit down and kind of feel like you're on your own little private little cocoon
06:59 My library card this is kind of a fun Marie Sendak who's one of my heroes they did a limited edition
07:06 I had to get in on that. I love the Brooklyn Public Library growing up in Amherst. We had the Jones library great libraries
