From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to the Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell, my guest.

We love this guy, Jason Schwartman. He's done so many things, and one of my favorite things about him as an actor.

He's found a way to almost make a career, our parodying self-absorption.

We can start with Rushmore to his newest film with one of the greatest titles of all time, my entire high school sinking into the city.

First of all, Jason, thanks for being here.

Thank you for having me.

And we just talk, actually, about audio equipment. I guess I want to ask you, what kind of,

what do you listen to at home? What do you got? Well, to be honest with you, I don't have a

great system at home. Growing up in L.A., I associate listening to music with driving.

So to me, that's like the way that I will prefer to experience music for the first time.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, you rather hear it for the first time in the car.

For me, but I've never really been a person who had like any type of great stereo system.

Even given that you're a musician,

and that you never really had,

because you must have great sound equipment to tour with, right?

Yeah, oh yeah.

Well, oh yeah.

I mean, we, it wasn't, I didn't own it.

But there was great sound equipment provided.

But, no, the, I have a friend who's got a really nice, nothing fancy, but a really nice system.
