In short

The hosts trade stories and opinions on live music culture and industry economics, especially Coachella and “underplays” (not fully selling out). They also riff on music news, celebrity controversies, and travel/event logistics (including a “How Long Gone Cruise” idea). They discuss vaping on airplanes, Zorron (Zoran) music royalties vs public office, Moby’s Coachella comeback and donations, and Madonna’s new era.

Guests

None. The episode features Chris and Jason as the only speakers.

Guest backgrounds

Not applicable.

Key claims

Coachella is increasingly “the draw” rather than specific bands; selling out isn’t always required for success. Concert ticketing may evolve into venue selection based on demand. Cruise fandom is “structured” but feels like captivity/jail. Vaping in airplane bathrooms can trigger air marshal involvement and status consequences. Zorron’s Spotify royalties are tiny; the hosts joke about a political profile boost for his rap career. Moby’s performance was impressive and he donates money from Coachella.

Notable examples

Strokes at Coachella; Bob Lefsetz newsletter; Meghan Trainor tour cancellation; Bloomberg “underplays” article; Norwegian Joy (~3,700 capacity); McDonald’s “battle” meals; Delta vaping incident; Moby/Portmanate; Nine Inch Nails lyrics; Madonna/Stuart Price; Drake “Iceman” chair controversy; Ice Spice McDonald’s altercation.

0:17How long gone? Coming back at you. A rare Saturday morning recording due to scheduling issues. That is not going to stop us from bringing you the best of the best. Isn't that right, Jason?

0:28Jason Stewart:That's right. We're still going to do a podcast Saturday, Sunday. It doesn't really matter. You're going to be flying back home to New York tomorrow. I'm going to be waking up chipper as a titmouse. I'm flying to Milan tomorrow. I'm flying to Milan. Oh. I got a 12-hour. Chris said, me scoozy. I got a 12-hour. It's a long story. Got a nice little layover in Frankfurt, though. I don't think I've ever been there, so I'll kick the tires on that. Okay. I will somehow still feel better than you on Monday. I don't know. I don't know if that's true or not. It's a little bit of a toss-up still. There's a chance that I party responsibly tonight.

1:09Dude, if you're a 40s man driving to Coachella for one day, I want you to OD. Otherwise, what's the point? Like, I'm a little bit. Okay. I want you to link up with fake Meek and Hunter Biden and see what they're smoking on. You know what I mean?

1:25Jason Stewart:I think you need to let me kind of finish John kind of finish sorry let me be clear uh I got excited yeah so I I do plan on finding fake mink you know cowering in a corner like a little scared raccoon when the headlights hit him I do want to build with hunter of course you know finally get him a date on the calendar to do how long gone but I think it's more so I'm gonna do it I'm gonna rage juicy j style i'm gonna party like slater but then at a certain point we're gonna start preparing for landing so get it in get it out so so i'm not gonna be like on my fiend shit at 3 40 a.m you know like what time do you want a benadryl to go to sleep what time do the strokes play like 10 probably something like that yeah oh yeah you can then you can be out of there because because you're not you're biebers tonight right oh but you know i mean i plan no i plan on rocking until the end of the night but i'm just gonna like i will my highest point will be behind me by the time you know the end is is there yeah yeah yeah yeah sure mainly because i gotta drive i gotta drive back to the hotel you know yeah i uh you can't because you can't walk right no no i I mean, it's like, Imogene told Carolyn it's like a two to three hour drive from Palm Springs to the festival.

2:48Jason Stewart:Oh, man. So, you know, it'll be two to three hours from my house to the hotel in Palm Springs. Two to three hours from hotel to India. That's, man, you're a better man than me. There ain't nothing you could do to get me down there. Well, here's my thing. Once a band like The Strokes announces the tour. special thanks to PJ by the way over at Golden Voice for blessing me up we love you once this once the band announces the tour then Coachella is completely obsolete for an adult that's kind of the that's what I unless you're already committed there's no reason to go deal with that when you can go see them in a controlled environment where they play more actually yeah well I think I would assume they play more she it's not just the strokes you know she's getting swept up into Coachella, the culture.

3:36Jason Stewart:Well, that's a bigger issue. That's a bigger issue. That's the worst part. If you still read Lefset's newsletter, he said that Coachella itself is the draw, not the band's anymore. After Bob Lefset started talking about his liver, once he did three newsletters in a row about going to the hospital with Lena Dunham-style details in the newsletter, I was like, Bob, I think, look, I know you've got an audience that loves you, but we don't love you that much. I've been reading Bob Lefsetz for 15 plus years. I don't care how your kidneys are doing. I care that you think Coachella, the culture is more.

4:14That is exactly what you should be talking about.

4:16Jason Stewart:I want to know your thoughts on the new Casey Musgraves video. I don't want to hear about how fast you filled up the colostomy bag this week. That's literally. It's like when he hits you with the skiing version or the colostomy bag version, It's tough not to read because it feels so crazy. And honestly, it feels more confessional than some of these influencers that their job is to talk about this kind of stuff. Because he's not doing it performably. He's doing it in a way that he has no realization about how it actually looks. It's powerful. It's plain old. That's the beauty of blogging. It's like a thing happened to me today, and I'm going to write about it.

4:58Jason Stewart:and you're going to read all of it because you like this versus like i had a miscarriage 18 months ago here's my story and then it's like you know and we have to do like a photo shoot for it yeah bob yeah maybe that's the difference is bob isn't giving us the fucking gurney selfie to kind of to illustrate what's going on oh you don't want to see me with his body i mean i those those were shocking those were we didn't even talk about it those were that was a shocking week of emails because I've learned so much from him, but the skiing, like I said, the skiing and the body stuff, I can skip those.

5:35I don't think I have to open those. Okay.

5:38Jason Stewart:We want him to reversify his content, not diversify. Just versify it back to the, you know, you talking about music law. I just want him to post, yeah, I always post the responses from his readers. I want to post, the former radio programmer from Dallas who responds to everything, what is he saying about the penis surgery or whatever? Maybe this is your time to chime in, Chris. Get into the comments. I will never. Maybe you'll be read aloud. I will never tangle with left sets again because you lose no matter what. Left sets is a battle royale that no one comes out on top except him. When you argue with fools, nobody can tell who is who, right?

6:21Yeah, I mean, I'm on Bloomberg.com reading about underplays. So I'm just so deeply entrenched in the voices of the music business. It's been a tough couple weeks.

6:34Jason Stewart:Why are bands suddenly classic or trash? Why do they have to sell out or else they're over? I just didn't know. I guess underplay is definitely like an industry term, but it's a pretty easy thing to understand. You know what I mean? Like what that means. but I guess that it is we're in a like for example one of your faves Meghan Trainor had to cancel her arena tour because she's just feeling overwhelmed but of course the fans are pulling up the Ticketmaster and the shit is all blue shit looks like your magna bottle right now the shit don't look there ain't no specks of white in that shit more blue than Nipsey Hussle gravestone yeah yeah yeah it's bluer than the interior of nipsey's g-wagon it's it's bad it's bad and i i but i think that the i read this you know thousand word article in bloomberg yesterday about under plays and how like you know it used to be you could just sell out part of your tour and that was okay and i'm i'm here to say that that's still okay that that's what i'm trying i don't think that that it's like it's sort of the way that supreme ruined like think everybody thought everything had to sell out all the time for it to be successful.

7:50And that's just not necessarily the case. Like obviously financially you want to sell, optically you want to sell out, but it's, you know, having a couple hundred tickets left over is not the end of the world, especially when the venue is that big.

8:00Jason Stewart:Yeah. And that, and that culture created the, the kind of drop shipping. We're going to put this up for a week and then, you know, print them and ship it after. I feel like they want to do that with concerts. Now they want to be like how many of y 'all want to buy a ticket and then we'll find the venue you know based on how many we sold dude great idea great idea we're gonna do a pre-sell but no not pre-sell like that we're gonna just pick the venue after you guys tell us how much you like us based on that feedback honestly and it is i wonder if that'll if like the fan base will be like all right we want to see you know we want to see dead mouse at red rocks but so many people bought tickets they're gonna to have to upgrade the venue to where the Denver Nuggets play and you have to go on the Reddit and say no no no don't we don't we have to cap it at 7 ,000 tickets you guys and you know like a like a swarm of ants or the other way like we got to bump it up Sugar Ray is not gonna uh they're not gonna sell at the Indiana County Fair week two and uh we got to mobilize.

9:00It was like a a 99 cruise like a 99 hard rock cruise and it was like

9:06Jason Stewart:you mean like music from the year 1999 yeah here we go hold on this shit is crazy the summer of 99 and beyond Creed, Breaking Benjamin, Seven Dust Shine Down, Hoobastank, Our Lady Peace Hender, Fuel, Drowning Pool, Fastball Sponge, The Flies, Ashes of Billy plus more to be announced and it is I know like three guys who live on my street who are probably going to go to this actually my neighbor kevin he just went on a cruise with his family if i show him this and i'm he knows that he could have seen breaking benjamin somewhere in the caribbean instead of hanging out with his family he's gonna be so pissed he's like you're telling me i could have gone on a boat and seen breaking benjamin and these badass kids wouldn't be with me i i was just when i saw this i was like man i i know this will make so much money like i'm sure this will pre-sale out no question like all these cruises do i think that's why they exist but it it's a it's a strange like I wouldn't even go on this to to experience it like it's too it's too gross how much money would you would it take for you to to do that a lot honestly and I I do sort of curiosity I can't even I don't I'm not familiar with um with the Norwegian joy boat and what the offerings are as far as the the amenities of the actual cruise ship if I was in the Scott if I was in the Scott Stapp Suite, they were able to sort of isolate me.

10:31And I had my own gym and stuff. I could see myself getting through it.

10:34Jason Stewart:And if it had concierge service, you would have a little boat bring you on board every day so you don't have to wait in the lawn with the cattle. Yeah, I don't have to. I actually leave the boat every day and night. I'm never on the boat. He's got a cute little sail, like a little criss craft. He just putters onto the shores of Positano. With sails wide open, we'll call it. With sails wide open. I don't but just imagine hitting the breakfast buffet and running into a guy with a braided ponytail touching his ass it's just every t-shirt digging in his butt at the French toast stick line dude every t-shirt has the sleeves cut off not one person has a t-shirt with sleeves it's that kind of vibe but these things really sell and I guess that if you There's going to be a How Long Gone Cruise at some point.

11:27Jason Stewart:I fear it. The cruise element makes it crazy to me. The music festival element is crazy enough. It's like you're trapped in a fucking repeating loop of three days of bands you don't want to see until you finally get to see the one you want to see. And it's sort of like you're just wandering around. You know what I mean? Whereas the boat, it gives it more structure, but it feels like you're also in a jail cell. Oh, a thousand percent. I want to know how can the money for this shit be so good that they are willing to do this? Because I think even if you're a dork ass, this is hard for you. You're saying as a fan, but I think you're forgetting these fans.

12:01Jason Stewart:No, no, no. I mean, I'm saying as one of the bands playing, you know, like how much money can Breaking Benjamin really make off of this cruise that, you know, whatever, 2 ,000 people or whatever it is. No, I think it's more like, I think it's a lot more than 2 ,000 people, actually. I think it's pretty big. But I think also that the, I think that if you're a band and you're like, I can get paid X, but we load in once. We don't have to, you know what I mean? There's no like, it's like Harry doing 30 nights at MSG. It's like, I don't have to move my shit. I just show up and play. You know, it feels like that kind of situation too.

12:37Jason Stewart:Norwegian Joy holds around 3 ,700. Okay, a little more. That's not, I thought it was more like five, but you're right. That's not, but the tickets are expensive, of course. I know, but truly, the bass player for Hoobah Sang, what's he walking away with to be held captive on a boat for a week? That's a great question. The worst super fans of his life bug him for a photo at every corner. You're stuck in your room jacking off and smoking meth until it's time to go on stage. Pure hell for what? Eight grand? It's got to be more than that. And I also think it might lose money the first couple of years or whatever.

13:16You know what I mean? That's not uncommon. That's not uncommon in this world. But it's a very interesting development that there's a new one every day, kind of. You know what I mean? There's literally a new one every day with a very certain subset of music to offer a very certain subset of people.

13:33Jason Stewart:Hopefully by the time that there is the How Long Gone Cruise, the Going, Going, Gone voyage, we will find a way to make the cruise enjoyable again. we will fix the broken cruise industry and make cruising great again. I heard it when I said it. I've never been on a cruise. You've never been on a cruise, right? Fuck no. This episode of How Long Gone is brought to us by our friends at Dart Collective. I think we can all agree that wedding music is typically quite lame, cheesy, and it doesn't represent the bride and groom's personal music taste. Luckily, Dart works with actual musicians and artists, many of whom have their own productive careers or tour in bands you've heard of.

14:18Everyone from Leon Bridges to Taylor Swift. Dart DJs use vinyl and are cool in a way that your peers would be, not a dated Carnival Cruise performer. They even have an in-house stylist to make sure all personnel look perfect on the day. Dart travels all over the world for events from Morocco to Italy, Greece, and the Maldives. Dart has done huge celebrity events and also intimate ones.

14:39Jason Stewart:Yeah, Chris, I am personally friends with Michael from dart and i have worked with them for years uh i think the last time i did a big one we did the uh the sweet green wedding they set up a beautiful booth for the you know for the ceremony just some cocktail music some vinyl some cool vibes and then they set up a whole big tent with a crazy bumping sound system for me to play in later these guys are great a lot of people always ask me like hey you know do cool wedding djs exist do cool event people exist the cool part about dart is they'll work with people like me to come and dj your party as well as provide all the gear and all the consulting and all the all that stuff so if you don't know who to hire for your event dart collective is the one dart just like throwing a dart dash collective.com and uh ask for mike his email address is michael at dart dash collective.com tell them we sent you so if you have an event coming up this summer Dart Collective is where you go K-pop Demon Hunters, Saja Boys Breakfast Meal and Huntrix Meal have just dropped at McDonald's they're calling this a battle for the fans what do you say to that, Rumi?

15:55it's not a battle so glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day it is an honor to share no, it's our honor

16:04Jason Stewart:it is our larger honor no, really, stop you can really feel the respect in this battle Pick a meal to pick a side. And participate in McDonald's while supplies last. I don't think I could do that. It feels like you're in a plain bathroom for three days. You know what I mean? That's what I imagine it feeling like. Well, it's a plain bathroom that you are allowed to vape in. So for a lot of these people, that's a pretty good tradeoff. Do you think people are getting away with vaping on the plane? Can you get away with that all flight if you're slick with it? Well, I heard a tale. Somebody I know knows was on a...

16:48Jason Stewart:I feel like I'm talking about who's going to take in a helicopter to Noma right now. It's a minefield. But they were flying, I think it was like New York to LA on the Delta flight. Person has Delta status. It was a work trip for a shoot or something like that, perhaps. so you know the crew the talent you know everyone all the same people are on the same flight going gets goes to the bathroom vapes in the bathroom and then the plane the the alarm immediately starts going off oh shit dude fuck dude this then this person you know leaves the bathroom walks back to their seat you know and probably doing a little oh what's oh this is crazy is everything okay do i miss something i was just in the restroom did something happen And then, you know, the flight attendant's like, you were vaping in the bathroom.

17:39Jason Stewart:You know, it smells like candy in there. And, you know, we kind of, this happens like every single flight. It smells like Haribo in the bathroom and you look guilty. So let's just get this over with. Smell like nerds rope in there when it normally smells like pure piss. So, you know, something's going on. You know, plane lands, air marshal, everyone stays in the seat. We got to walk this person out, a 4B or whatever it is. And I think the reason why they do all of that is to like scare them straight. Discourage. So it never happens again. But I think they didn't get arrested or anything. They just got like a warning and a slap on the wrist.

18:18Jason Stewart:But they said that the good people at Delta will contact them, you know, within the next couple weeks to assess what the, you know, potential consequences and outcome. So Johnny Law is cool with it, but Delta gets to do the punishing. I mean, what would you rather do? Lose all of your status and miles or spend three days in jail? Three days in jail. No question. I'd do three days in JFK jail. I mean, dude, who knows what would happen? That could be an amazing experience for me. There's a chapter. I'll do it. You're like, after the Jeremy O 'Harris episode, you're like, I'm trying to get locked up all the time, bro.

18:58Jason Stewart:I'm going to get locked up. I'm knocking chapters out. I'm trying to get locked up for minor offenses. That's like fine. In America, you get a phone call and you get to sign into your Grammarly account. It's really smooth. Yeah, it's actually perfect. It's actually perfect. They give you a desktop. It's a little clunky. Yeah, I didn't know what they – I figured the air marshal was a little performative. I didn't think they were going to arrest you for vaping on the plane unless you aggressively argued afterwards. Yeah. But that is a twisted little tale. So all that is to say, beware, because that one little...

19:31Jason Stewart:And also getting perp walked in front of the production crew that may have hired you and all of the people that you work with. Can I ask, and you can bleep this out, was this person integral to this shoot, this job? Or was it someone maybe that could be replaced because of their vape offense? i don't know but i from from the context clues it's definitely leaning more replaceable to the left to the left see that's the word if it's the boss you know if it's the photographer that's flown in from germany it's like all right well fuck it whatever he's the boss but yeah if you're the second assistant if you're the digital tech you can't be the two trans twins from dusseldorf we're gonna let that one slide no problem but you can't yeah you can't be the you can't be the digitech if it's the fourth hair artist then you can sayonara artist i love that i'm a hair artist oh god it's so funny um yeah what okay um i had i had a theory i was reading that headline about zo zoron he was like posting his um his like music royalties yeah because he has to make his like tax return public as a government official or whatever and i i had a fun theory do you think that it's a long game play that Zoran became governor of New York as a way to sort of boost his rap career and profile.

20:53I would, I mean, that would endear him quite a lot to me if that is what his goal was.

20:59Jason Stewart:What a roundabout way, because that means he loves hip hop more than just about anyone. He might, he might love hip hop that much. I mean, I think desire to be in the cypher, you know, he'll, he'll outwork you. I haven't listened to his music before. Have you? I have not i have not that's kind of weird that neither of us have honestly because it's really it's really out there and available for us to listen to it feels like something we should have done when he was campaigning just to understand where where he's coming from and i would like somebody out there you know a nice music service journalist person out there um if you could make a little graph so i could see the sort of before and after what his spotify monthly plays are before and after he began running for office and becoming governor of New York.

21:43That is, oh, wow. Yeah, I'm sure there's been, I'm sure somebody's tracking that. I'm sure there's somebody.

21:47Jason Stewart:So that's basically Jared Kushner level sort of insider trading stuff, right? We can get him out of there for less. So we can definitely get him out for this. I mean, oh, you fixed some potholes? How about all this fucking money you're taking from Spotify, the evil corporation? Like, you're not even on Bandcamp? It's crazy. He made like a little over$1 ,000 in royalties. Which is honestly more than a lot of y 'all are making on your royalties. Did he say that he was going to donate it to a cause of any kind? Or he's going to put that money? I don't know. I don't think he did. I don't think he made any comment on that whatsoever.

22:22That's actually crazy. That's crazy for him to not give that money back to someone. What do you mean? He earned it. I don't give a fuck. You should be on Bandcamp, first of all. You should be on Tidal or Bandcamp. You cannot be on Spotify.

22:36Jason Stewart:It's not like he had a hit record in the 90s and he can eat off that forever. Being a governor, I don't think you make very much money. No, he does aight. I mean, his wife be shopping, so somebody's making money. She's buying independent designers online. Supporting small biz, it's a write-off. I've got to listen to this. It's an integral part to my career. Speaking of donating da money, I think Moby said he donated all of his money for his Coachella shows. You know how much you've got to hate yourself to donate all your money from Coachella? like that is well i mean either that or as i was saying a second ago made a bunch of money in the 90s when the when the most getting was goodest bro you know is it possible that he is he just has that much money he lives definitely pretty 100 that he has that he has plenty of money i'm just saying that become a guy like moby going from beloved to reviled in the public eye and then giving all your money away to a vegan charity or whatever from from your coachella performance is not i i don't know if you're doing that in pure of heart reasons necessarily i think you're doing that because people will always say have that caveat now when they're talking shit about you you know what i mean it's like oh moby's a fucking dick but i mean at least you donate all that money you know that that's that feel because like also you're i mean not that i don't love an animal rights charity but you know we got more important fish to fry no i'm hungry um speaking of being anti-pita i would love to eat some fish right now um yeah i i we don't know what he donated to but obviously according to his tattoos i think all he does i think all he donates money to is is the is the animal rights i think that's his whole i think i mean i'm sure there's plenty plenty of other causes once he shut down all the restaurant ventures you know it freed up a lot of capital to kind of move around yeah the vegan tea shop not a not a capital generator dude teeny's og though teeny's the goat i i've teeny could come back for sure well if he had the if he had the stomach for it i'll um i guess i think that moby is back in the good graces after watching him at coachella i was i was blown away by how many people were you know eaten out of his palm and how he did a better job at performing than than most people i saw because he's a real because he's a real fucking DJ these guys like he's been doing this for fucking 30 years he did a full live set with singers and dancers and tons of musicians it was but he was doing it was impressive it sounded like but he did play I mean he played like hits right oh yeah he played all of his hits yeah I mean I forgot how many hits he had but he truly slayed Moby rocks I'm a Moby apologist forever I don't understand what people like I don't think I think what happened was he said that he went on a couple dates with um what's her name Natalie Natalie Portman got another bun in the oven with baby daddy's got the funniest fucking name i've ever heard in my life name that bro i gotta look it up again but there he like wrote in his memoir that they like hung out a couple times and she replied ew no and then everyone just it's literally crazy he was a rapist yeah it's crazy it's crazy i mean natalie portman is a national treasure that people love and they and she was young you know she was like 20 or something so it's like people were like oh he you know blah blah meanwhile you know natalie portman was in her agent like i want to get on list for Moby oh you know what I mean that Moby Moby trust me that little dork ain't ain't hollering it the chicks are coming to him and I don't think he's really I don't think you know I don't know I mean Natalie Portman back in the day I I'm I think that Moby was definitely a little bit of a slimy little man but you know kind of in the same way where Aziz got like soft canceled for like taking a girl to a restaurant and then trying to kiss her after or whatever um but we're not gonna get into the rich details of it, but I think that Moby, all that music, that 90s trancy electronica stuff, all the old DJs and music that they're playing is so back now.

26:37Jason Stewart:And I think people like the younger generation doesn't even know about Portmangate. Tried to touch my boobie at Little Doms or whatever happened. So they're just like, this little bald creepy guy is sick. Okay, Natalie Portman, Baby Daddy, Tan Guy De Stable. Okay, that's a Discord name. Which, it's a French name, so I guess it's Tanguy. But is he hot? I'm sure he's hot or rich. What's the story? He's not cute. Yeah, I'm sure he's good looking. Oh, wait. Was he in a band? He's a musician named Tepper, T-E-P-R, whose remix is I Have Played. Oh, my God. Damn, his name is Tan Guy De Stable.

Read the full transcript

27:51This is a victory for us and our whole cohort when you see this kind of stuff happen, even though this guy's name is crazy.

27:56Jason Stewart:Okay, Tan Guy DeStable, come on the pod if you speak good enough English, okay? I doubt if he does. It looks like he does a lot of movie, soundtrack-y kind of stuff. Oh, okay. Damn, crazy. Good for him. Figured it out. He met Natalie in the... Yeah, never mind. He's a pretty good-looking guy. I'm taking it all back. Yeah, I mean, Natalie Portman can pull. I mean, there's no question that she's going to pull. She looks amazing. I mean, she's got to be, she's got two kids already, three kids already, and she's got to be in her mid-50s. She got trois. Trois, baby. Yeah, she's got to be in her mid-50s.

28:29Looks great. I wanted to see if you had seen Busboys yet.

28:34Jason Stewart:Portman, 44. Don't hate. She's 44? 1981. Oh, wow. I just thought she was older. I think that's some shit. I just thought she was older because of the kids, I guess. The two kids are with her husband, who she divorced a couple years ago, and this is her first child with tan guy destable i really want to say detestable but what do you know yeah i mean what's up with have you seen the the trailer for bus boys no are you familiar with what bus boys is that is the fucking uh the movie with theo vaughn and david spade theo vaughn david spade tim dylan trevor wallace bobby lee jay pharaoh jay pharaoh it's got it's got x snl because Wasn't there a movie, because remember like maybe six months ago or something, there was a movie trailer and it was Theo Von Andruski and it looked like one of the worst things ever.

29:24Jason Stewart:Is this the same thing, but they like turned it into a new movie? This is different, I believe. I feel like that had a churchy angle and this one is two guys who are busboys. This is, yeah, this is somehow worse, I think, than that. It's playing at the Americana today, two showtimes, the hot zones at 2.30 p.m. and 5 p.m. It's crazy. So you really got to want it. I watched the trailer and I was shocked. I was like, this is... 62 on Rotten Tomatoes. That's higher than I thought it was going to be. Theo Vaughn does not need to be acting. Like, what are you doing, man? It's fine. Like, you don't have to do this.

29:56Somebody lost money on this. He might have lost money on this time-wise.

29:59Jason Stewart:Well, I mean, I think he may have come out of pocket for it. That's even worse. You can't lose time and money. Yeah, the first review, one star. I walked out. I really like Theo, but this movie is bad. Damn. I hate to see your boy Spade going down like this though. That's what I was really... That's what happens when you get a little older and you start being unsure about your place in the world and where you fit in and if you were cool or not or if you're cool now and you start, you know, I'm just going to do what the kids want me to do kind of thing. You know, kind of like Nine Inch Nails making techno music or pairing with the techno DJ to kind of young it up and stay relevant with the kids kind of thing.

30:41I've never seen people lick nuts more than nine inch noise. People are talking to me like that, like they saw the Beatles.

30:49Jason Stewart:I mean, my nuts, sorry, my mouth is going to be all those nine inch nuts tonight. I just, I said this to you guys, nine inch nails, legendary. No, no arguing that. I get it. But, but I just think that we, we are forgetting. Like I said, I said to see like the lyrics, I want to fuck you like an animal. Like, does it get cornier than that? Wait, he says, fuck my mom. Didn't let me have the dirty. Yeah, you didn't have... Wait, hold on. This whole time. I'm going to frig you like an animal. Imagine saying that to a girl. I'm just very surprised at what Nine Inch Nails has become. Because it was, once again, it was sort of like fake outrage, like alternative radio rock.

31:27Like, let's be honest. That's what that was. That's what that song was. 100 % what it was.

31:32Jason Stewart:I mean, I know how your brain works with music. And I know what your cringe points are, your trigger moments are. I have my peeves that song is good as hell I'm not saying the song is bad all the songs are good as hell I remember being younger when that song came out and I would be like it's a little much that song my mommy is taking me to school and I'm listening to K-Rock and that's what we're listening to right now it's a little mucho but I've spent enough time with the nails to be able to just enjoy it and watch it and revel in the cool electronic power of it or whatever. It's just amazing to me what the revisionist history on all of the music, the radio alternative rock of our youth.

32:18That's all. It continues to surprise and delight. That's what I'll say.

32:22Jason Stewart:I mean, you're the one who likes the Goo Goo Dolls. Yeah, but the Goo Goo Dolls. They're kind of the subject number one for that discourse. No, but the Goo Goo Dolls aren't cool. No one's talking about them like the way that people talk about Rage Against the Machine or Nine Inch Nails. Like Goo Goo Dolls is considered corny, but they got hits. It's a very different Like Goo Goo Dolls was also on pop radio They were on like top 40 radio Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine Is Limp Bizkit and corn If you really want to look at it But people aren't ready for that conversation And the Chili Peppers Well the Chili Peppers predated all to me kind of But maybe they don't actually No they predated but there was a sweet spot I was thinking about this a couple days ago When the first Rage Against the Machine album came out Blood Sugar Sex Magic came out and there's like one or two other like seminal records right in that same zone and it was that was when the vibe shipped maybe it was a metallica the black album i don't know yeah i mean it was it was cringy and poppy and big kind of like um sabrina carpenter last night did you watch it with the the illuminati ritual of madonna i mean i'm excited do you think this new madonna is going to be good i like that i like the cover art i like the album i like what I've seen so far.

33:33Jason Stewart:I think as long as Madonna is not involved in the creation of it, it has a chance of being good because she's working with the original, you know, the perfect person who she's worked with before, Stuart Price, I believe. But this is basically the version, the second version of the album that is beloved. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Confessions on the Dance Floor, part two.

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, an original and cherry vanilla. That Pepsi taste you love with just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners.

34:56Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, unbelievably Pepsi. but that don't you think that might set the bar a little too high well i think it's because that

35:07Jason Stewart:that era of madonna and that style of music being popular now like the sort of revival of that sound being so good and then her going back and getting this this guy that linked up originally and you know is a legendary electronic producer it makes sense but i think that madonna her like just watching her on stage you know she's whatever 67 68 or something like that and the brain inside of that body you know things aren't clicking around you know she's she's more similar to like a joe biden you know getting pushed out for a press conference then you know but she can still move around and like she has dexterity and how does her how does her voice How does her voice sound?

35:51Jason Stewart:Not good. Not good. Well, I mean, she was sort of lip syncing, but she forgot to hold the mic up to her mouth a bunch of times, and she would lift it up to her head halfway through the lyric. What is the – It was a little rough. They were doing her song, though. They weren't doing – They did Vogue and Like a Prayer, and then I think they played Madonna's new song, and then Madonna did a long speech, and Sabrina Carpenter just had to like stand there. Did they kiss? They didn't kiss. That's what I was wondering because that's sort of the Madonna Illuminati thing. You could tell that Sabrina knew and it was like Chris Rock and Will Smith.

36:32Jason Stewart:Like, you ain't gonna get me this time, motherfucker. Because she did it with Britney, the first Illuminati kiss, and then Drake at Coachella where she sat on his lap and kissed him. But Drake was on stiff, So she had a, she was, that was, I was, I was there. I was close to the stage and I saw the look on Drake's face and he was not happy about that microaggression. I don't, I don't think it's, I, I, I think Drake, I mean, I don't think her ass is fat enough for Drake. I will agree with that. Even if she was in her BBL phase, but I don't, I don't know, man. I think Drake, I don't know, dude. I think Drake's a real dog.

37:14I think, I think Drake said, let me get a bone.

37:17Jason Stewart:If it's a younger Madonna, sure. Yeah, maybe he was just surprised. Maybe he was just taking it back, and he didn't want to be on Chubb in front of all those people. But also, Drake, the Iceman knows what that kiss means, the kiss of death. He's watched The Godfather. That's the fucking blueprint for his whole career and life, man. You know what happens when the Don, you can't spell Madonna without Don, you know, third eye shit. The Don comes over, gives you that little kiss on stage. The Don. No one has ever called her that. When the Don comes sit on your lap and then gives you that smooch, Drake knows exactly what that means.

37:54Jason Stewart:The person selling slushies outside, they're like, whoa, that was crazy. They don't know what that means. Drake, he's been in the rooms with the Lior Cowens. He knows what that kiss means. And he said, oh, damn. I got the itis in me now. That's true. You're probably right. Yeah, I am probably right. Where is Iceman, though? That's the question. I'm still looking for Iceman. And why are people so mad about the chairs at the game? You see the chairs? I saw he had the two front row seats that he likes to sit in. It wasn't the Toronto Raptors stadium. It was a different team, right? Or was it a WNBA team or a lower?

38:29Jason Stewart:I think it was in Toronto. Maybe not. I think it was too, but I thought maybe it was a college or a minor league or a WNBA. Anyway, it doesn't matter, but he had sort of like prosthetic plastic clear inserts on top of his chest. Prosthetic ice? To mimic that his seats are frozen and icy and then him and Chubbs can sit on it for the whole game and everybody look at me kind of thing. I don't think that people are hating on it. They're more so just like it kind of looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex nutted on your chairs and then you and your friends are going to sit your denim tears, Crumheart's ass on there and have your tequila and soda.

39:15Jason Stewart:I see no problem with it. watch the lady raptors play i would love i see no problem with it either it's just like it's stupid but also let's say i mean to me it's it's it's procrastinatory behavior people who have a you got one big goal that you need to accomplish you just gotta finish the book you just gotta finish the album and this motherfucker will do anything but do that do you think that maybe and i i you know obviously ovio chris i'm gonna be like we need a we need chapter 17 done chris and he said I'm going to learn how to fly fish instead. I'm going to give Drizzy a break on this and say what if they did it as a surprise?

39:51You know what I mean? What if the team...

39:52Jason Stewart:A surprise glazing of the chair. Yeah, what if they were like, oh, Iceman's coming. What if we did this to celebrate that? Maybe Drake would like it. I mean, that's a real... I think that's a real possibility. Yeah, but there's also another possibility that someone from Drake's team will come over and say, never do this again. Drake does not like... The boy does not ever want to be surprised again. And then, you know, someone gets quietly fired. That's also true. That's also a very, very good option. Yeah, do you think people are too afraid to surprise Drake? Like, what do you do for him, you know?

40:22Jason Stewart:Other than, like, get him a prostitute. Like, what are you going to, like, buy him a watch? He's going to be like, cool, put it with the other ones. You can't buy him anything. He's an experienced guy. You know what I mean? Are we renting out Canada's Wonderland? He's an experienced guy. You know, are we giving him two prostitutes instead of one? Like, what is the experience going to be? It's going to be like, I got this Rihanna sex doll. do you remember remember when he went remember when he like i don't think it was for rihanna but remember when he rented out dodger stadium for dinner that's this that's some shit man that's some shit that's that that's the most drakeian thing somebody could ever do no it is the most canadian black guy thing someone could ever do buying no that buying the birkins for my future wife shit is crazy that's that's really crazy what what is that exactly he just bought he has a collection of Birkins because they're for his future wife and he like talks about it oh oh he he he oh okay like like setting up a Roth IRA for your grandkids I'm just gonna keep all these beautiful purses in my closet until I find the right guy I mean woman and then I'm gonna give her all these bags and I'm gonna and then I'm gonna comb her hair and do her makeup so no no don't make it American girl don't American girl I mean it's there's a little American girl I mean there's a lot of American girl look I mean and that and guess who that American girl doll look like look like Millie Bobby Brown coming down the hall that is actually Millie Bobby Brown that is actually true that is actually true I think Millie look if Millie Bobby Brown her man break up I think Drake could swoop in be a stepdad it'll be fine well there's no I know but the damning part of it is like he's like Millie Bobby Brown I'm probably going to devote most of my time to her when she's 13 and now that she's like a 37 year old soft core porn model it's done the the no she's not she's the moat is closed yeah he's maybe less interested what's drake's moat i'm just using founder he's maybe he's maybe less interested he's maybe less no but i mean it's weird every time i see a picture of her on on the feed and it just looks like soft core porn i mean she looks incredibly old like i don't know how i'm not really sure what you do to make yourself look like that exactly like the choices being made it's like sort of like i'm not saying it's not plastic surgery it's like the way she does her hair and makeup and shit it's like a it's like a it's a choice to look old kind of um a little megan trainery energy don't talk about goat like that don't talk about megan just people people that looks like they like this the look on their face yeah like you're you're ever you're forever changed after doing some sort i'm not saying they did a deal with the devil but they have the the energy and aura who has had like some sort of massive detrimental transaction you know occurring inside of their body that's that's i think with both of those people that's very possible i mean at least millie barbie brown never has to work again i think mega trainer yeah she has six kids you know she's got a husband who don't work that trainer ain't cheap either but she i mean she looks she looks loco man she looks like a 47 year old child i think that yeah it's john benet vibes absolutely that's that's that's 100 % what it is did you see the video of ice spice getting duffed out at the mcdonald's in hollywood i did see that i did see what do you think was going on there because because this girl walked in and they talked for see when i saw a sneeko get duffed out that was sick because a guy just walked by him and fucking punched him in the face didn't say anything didn't that is the way if you're going to do that you got to do it like that don't talk Don't talk.

43:55That's a waste of time. If you're really about it.

43:57Jason Stewart:Duff 101. We got 50 cent over here. Duff 101. I'll tell you all the ways. Yeah, but I think that I Spice in a hoodie in a McDonald's with no security. I Spice is pretty famous, right? I don't really have a gauge. I'm surprised that she could get touched like that. Yeah. I'm surprised she could get touched like that. But what do you think I Spice is doing to get touched? That's my real question. okay well this this seems like because there there are the you know there's the the guy who who punched sneaker like you said or you know luigi who shoots the ceo without saying hey buddy fuck you for ruining my shit you know just shoot him just punch him whatever just shoot me um i think these are the psychosis of the super fan the selena the you remember rihanna or was it was rihanna's house that got shot up yeah yeah like two weeks ago and it was like oh this is it got shot up by somebody who believes in their mind that rihanna is like sending her messages to kill herself you know it's just like crazy schizophrenic people so this person probably has like a parasocial relationship with ice spice and saw her at mcdonald's caught her lacking and she said you've been visiting my dreams for the last seven years ice spice and now i'm gonna hit you and throw a fucking sprite at you it looked a little bit like that but it looked the reason i'm saying this i think it was a personal it was personal beef i think somebody could have fucked somebody's man i think it looked a little to me to me i have no i've no obviously i'm seeing this just like you i don't have any audio um my sources haven't sent me the tapes yet um it it looks like it looks a little more like all right bitch i found you you know what i mean it could be something pre-fame jason who knows this could be this could be something dating back years before ice spice was ice spice yeah i guess if you're as famous as ice spice what are you doing eating inside of a fast food restaurant in hollywood freaks everywhere scum of the earth walking the streets don't eat i mean who eats inside of a mcdonald's period anywhere in 2026 oh okay well i think that a lot of people like the full experience jason you know i think you want to you know some of us no so go to go to any mcdonald's it's drive-thru only it's like one percent of the population eats inside McDonald's.

46:07Jason Stewart:It's old people and homeless people. No shade. Well, the most disgusting thing you can do is eat in your car. So, but the problem is the McDonald's is going to smell up the car before you get home. So you're fucking your car up no matter what. Yeah, and you want to eat some of those fries in the car on the way home, but then you open the bag and smell it. What I'm saying is the only scent-free option is eating in, which I agree is twisted. Well, this is my option. You are able to eat inside of a McDonald's if you are, you know, a world-famous millionaire celebrity. it can't just be at the one on sunset and highland you know it has you have to be in calabasas you have to be in malibu you have to be i would say i would say you have to be doing a cross-country road trip outside of indianapolis is what i would say is that he's even more he's even more you can't be in the epicenter where um where all the shit's going down but they went outside and kept it going and ice spice was whipping her ass a little bit so that's what makes me think it's a little it's a little more it's deeper than rap okay well here's another another idea there was a video like a year or so ago of i forgot who it was but it was like a rapper getting trying to get jacked or steal his car jewelry in the parking lot and then he ended up you know pulling out some guns with his friends and you know shooting at him and scaring him away and they released like the security footage later and then they found out that it was all staged as a way to make him look more cool and gangster like he's filming a movie, to up the street rep.

47:37Jason Stewart:So maybe Ice Spice did this. Maybe her friend who came in and fought her, she was a hired actor. All right, well, okay. So do you want me to Venmo the guy that we are hiring to duff you out at Coachella or do you want me to not? Now that Ice kind of stole your thunder, we'll wait till next year. Well, if we are going to orchestrate this so I could demonstrate my gangsta, you have to let me know ahead of time because otherwise I'll just get beat up by a guy. You know what I mean? I got to know. You're saying you have to be in on it or it won't work is what you're saying. I can't surprise you. The sucker punch will work and then not much good will happen to me.

48:20The sucker punch will absolutely do it. It's supposed to do it.

48:22Jason Stewart:I'm supposed to know that he's sucker punching me. I spin around. I catch it. you know okay okay elbow to the to the throat elbow to the adam's apple jackie jeans mode you're going fucking you're going crazy on them no it's i mean i'm i don't i'm not like going like karate it's more like a krav maga i'm gonna go down knee on the back you know until krav mcgrah i got i well i'm bringing my cargo shorts so i'll have a couple zip ties in there in case i need to you know i dude i look i don't go anywhere without my zip ties i totally get it dude what if how long gone made green and blue zip ties if you don't go around with zip ties i mean because it guns too much maces for women zip ties that's all we got yeah no i got it is unfortunately it is giving ice a little too much definitely um yeah but at coachella i mean i i wonder how long until there's some right wing leaning brands that make i don't want to vilify zip ties zip ties can be used for good and bad like all things in the world you know it is true It is, unfortunately.

49:18Jason Stewart:I was using it as a mobile temporary handcuff situation in this reference, unfortunately. That is reckless in this environment. Which we can use, you know, the good guys can use zip ties too. Yeah, good guys. But I mean, how cute a blue one on the left wrist and a green zip on the right wrist. I'll just wear them. What's your stack? What's your handcuff stack? What if it was just sort of like accessories, you know? You could look at it that way. What's your zip tie stack? Um, yeah, when I was, when I was watching Coachella yesterday, also, the, uh, the turnstyle show, it was interesting to see, you know, just how big they are and, you know, how, to see the crowd, you know, wearing, like, speed t -shirts with, you know, football jerseys and tough looking guys, and they're doing, like, the heart hands into the camera, if the camera goes on them, it's like.

50:11Dude, take me back to fucking morning again and drag body. And I can't with this shit, dude. Like, I just, like, imagine being at Hellfest 99 and somebody giving fucking heart hands, you know, while turmoil's on stage. There's just... What the fuck are you? What the fuck are you?

50:33Jason Stewart:And it makes me feel, you know, old guy shouting at the clouds, kind of, because, you know, when you watch, like, every band is everything now. Like, when you watch the XX, they are a slow, crying ballad band. They are also a Jamie XX remix dance party. They're also a reggae young thug song. And when you watch, you know, all these, everyone has all of their everything. and now when you watch Turnstile do a hardcore show, there's all these synths and electronic moments and they have like a dance party moment in the middle of the set. Really? Yeah, and they have all these visuals of kids talking about how awesome hardcore is.

51:16Jason Stewart:The difference, like what we have to do on stage at these big things is not just play your songs unless you are appealing to an older audience only. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Oasis can get away with it. But even Oasis has insane fucking AI visuals going on. It's rare. Yeah. I mean, people got to have something to look at. The band ain't enough. A bunch of guys in cool clothes jumping around is not enough. Speed sucks though, right? I don't really listen to them, but I don't think it's for me. They have the flute. It's very popular. It's very popular. Oh, it's the flute band. Yeah, no, I'm all set.

51:51I've seen that. I'm all set.

51:52Jason Stewart:It's a little hot. I'm sure they're nice guys and mutual friends. It's a little hot topic-y for me. Oh, I see. But it's very popular. very popular very popular well you got look if that's the thing if you're gonna if you're gonna cross over whether that's your goal or not that there's there's things that have to be in play to allow that and you know being like 45 year old fucking union plumbers in carhartt and dickies ain't gonna do it these days it ain't and but it was cool to see a a real hardcore man play at coachella you know whatever proud hardcore kid moment but you you cannot play a hardcore show at a at a venue where the crowd is so far away from the stage they're playing on like the maybe like the second biggest stage or something like that so you know it's like 50 feet away from there's no head walking anyone there's nothing there's nothing and if you can't head i feel can't head walk i mean kind of what's the point i don't mean to no head walk no stage drive and then you know because the band also kind of just has to stand there you know the interacting with the crowd literally and physically is if you don't do that then a hardcore show it is not yeah that so if people are saying is hard is turnstile a hardcore band i believe they are but as soon as you start playing shows where the crowd can't touch you and you can't touch the crowd then it's not hardcore anymore i mean that's every festival i'm sure but yeah what are you what are you gonna do not hardcore festivals well yeah those yeah you lose money on those though and there's like two not anymore no i think that one in that one in england i bet is the biggest one i bet the rest of them just do okay what's the one what's the you know i'm talking about the one that's in like manchester yeah out outbreak it's not about the money bro well i think it kind of about the money i mean i think that i mean to me it's about loyalty and brotherhood you fucking pussy look i look i i'm with you bro i'm not the one getting an offer to play outbreak but if they call we'll do it obviously you know obviously we would do it uh i had a very weird night last night wow okay in the 11th hour talk to me about it i went to see jeremy's movie because he i had nothing i got home from the hanover pop-up and i was sort of like what's that movie called again i'm not i can't say it uh and i didn't i didn't have any i was like oh i don't have plans and it's like 6 30 and then he texted us and i was like you know what fuck it i'm just gonna go i didn't know where new art was i had never been to west i'd never been to west la in my entire life i did not know where i was like i did not it was it wasn't that far of a drive but i was like i've never been here i don't know what's going on and parking was very difficult and i get i get there you know i walk up and there's all these fucking autograph freaks for olivia wilde because she's like co-hosting the the the talk and jeremy and i are outside like talking and you see an issue like a black you know suburban pull up and it stops in front and then i think she clearly sees all these autograph guys and they go around so the suv continues around the corner i'm sure there's a back door at new art or whatever and these fucking guys they take off like it's the olympic trials like guys that guys that should not be running guys that haven't run in years are are holding running like gout gout they're gout gout running with a giant book smart poster to get signed by olivia olivia wild it was just such a crazy it was just such an insane thing to see you know i was just like so it really it really was just such a wild to risk a cardiac arrest to make you know 48 dollars on this ebay poster sale yeah it was it was just something to a guy who's gonna like jack off to the signature or something like that but then so then i you know i watched the movie i did i did like the movie and did nargis do the music i don't know i think she might have done the music anyway shout out if you did i watched the movie i like it i say i say goodbye to jeremy and then I'm like, oh, now it's, you know, it's nine o 'clock, 10 after nine.

55:45There's nowhere to eat. You know, it's LA. Everything's closed. So I'm like, all right, fuck it. I'm going to Google the closest Air One. I'll just go there. That's a safe bet. You know, I go to the Air One in Santa Monica was the closest. And wow. So you went even further. You, you hit Santa Moniz. Well, because it was Air One's going to close at 10. So what's the better, you know, the better bet was to drive eight minutes versus whatever, 20 minutes. And then I went to Santa Monica Air One, which, you know, you get there at 915. they're bleaching the floors and there's one piece of buffalo cauliflower left so I had to cobble together an Erewhon jail meal of what they had left under the lamps it was just a very bizarre it was a very strange

56:24Jason Stewart:it was a strange night for me overall positive I'm going to have to socialize so much today that I needed that but it was just a funny night how's the Santa Monica Juan talent looking? there was no talent to be seen It was Friday night at 9, 10. If there's talent there, they're not talent. You know what I mean? Oh, period. No shade to Santa Monica. I just feel like that's not the location for that. No, I'm with you. That's not the location for that. So you did like the movie, though. I did like the movie. It did make me want to go to Warsaw. It really did. You've never been, right? No, and I've wanted to go before, but it does look like, it looks relatively charming, at least in the movie, which I'm sure was the goal.

57:09Jason Stewart:said no one ever right no it does look very charming it looks charming yeah i don't i don't um but yeah i did like it and it was polish sounds like a tough lingo to learn very tough yeah i know those i know that there's like a clip of charlie speaking polish that people are really liking it's like a i thought it was i could learn a phrase or two if somebody's paying me bro you can't even learn one word also speaking of coachella lastly um my girl tina shay is getting inflamed for doing a fake dj set bro okay tinashe look good that's what it's about i know i agree like stop dude we don't we don't need tinashe to be up there like john summit like who cares yeah it's kind of the standard now what are the receipts though like they've heard it before somewhere or they just have video of her not touching anything yeah it's usually just video of somebody on stage and they're like just hitting a bunch of buttons and turning a bunch of knobs but nothing's actually happening.

58:02Well, most DJs are jumping around, pushing a bunch of knobs, and I can't tell if it's real or not. It's true.

58:07Jason Stewart:Yeah, it doesn't really matter, especially when you're on a big old stage. Does she do this a lot, though? I think it's a new thing. I think it's a new thing. Well, that makes a little more sense than people. T can do whatever she wants, though. I ain't mad. I agree. HowLongOn, thank you for listening. Have a wonderful weekend.
