941. - Chris & Jason

26:34Jason Stewart:You did have a thick necklace made out of beads. Oh yeah I mean stacked from clave to chin. For sure. What was on your one king down stack?

26:47Jason Stewart:That's for Zach Bowman. My one king down stack. Yeah there's four people who get that joke and if we were on a Patreon, we would get 10 ,000 from each of them. My one king down stack was just beads, mostly wooden in nature. So it wasn't mixed media, nothing stainless steel? No, there was. No, no stainless steel. That was too hot topic. But you would mix in a black bead as well. And sometimes if a chick made you one, it might have a little color in it or whatever. You know what I mean? Put her stamp on it. All those little Taylor Swift bracelet culture, that's all from emo chicks. That all comes from preschool.

27:23Jason Stewart:preschool came from raver it came from ravers yeah yeah ravers started it straight edge people stole it well i mean when i when i was watching taylor swift talk to joe coscarelli and she was talking about how you know the genius lyrics of pete wentz and dashboard professional i was like i know where taylor got it from because taylor wasn't ever ever in the warehouse at 4 a.m peaking that's for sure no no no she was studying with her with with professor cabrera yeah yeah learning in your letters. Those are the great scriptures. Yeah, those are the great scriptures. Honestly, maybe a month ago, Carolyn was going through a big dashboard confessional phase, and I was like, wow, I really wish Chris was here so you guys could talk about this thing that you both like so much because I never really had a dashboard phase.

28:10Jason Stewart:I was too straight to listen to it. I'm going to say that it's actually aged better than most things, and I think that he's sort of a treasure because I think he's just got such a great attitude and he just keeps doing it and it keeps working. And I think every 10 years, new people discover it. It's kind of an enviable career in many ways. He's a Skrillex of emo. And nowadays in 2026, the lyric, your hair is everywhere. Oh. At the time, I was like, are you guys hearing this? This is what you guys are all in? Am I taking crazy pills? But compared to the lyricism of 2026, bro not counting the earl sweatshirts of the world of course like it's a it's a pretty clever little word your hair is everywhere the thing is he's talking about maybe he's talking about after he beat it up her hair was messed up or maybe he's talking about some classic like yo my chick found some some strands in the bed that weren't from her you know what i mean it could be it could mean a lot more sinister things than we're thinking you know what i mean it could be uh you know predicting male pattern baldness air you know big dash on top of it big dash was too early you know what i mean he's been saying shit he's that could be yeah that could be a line you know that could be from cameron it's so it's so articulate yeah it's so well well put your pubes are everywhere yeah i mean dashboard knows it's a marathon not a sprint he said i'm i'm still spending fucking 90s money he's still spending big face hundreds right now no no he's he's light work like where i think he's i think his i think he has a child that is in college which is fucking crazy it's fucking crazy like damn my kid and my girlfriend are both in college it's so crazy i also think he's just kidding i wish that was the case i think he's just like a guy i think it's just you know when musicians it's just like this is my job and i love it and there's they don't take advantage of any of the other stuff that comes with it besides the money they earn i think he's one of those one of those guys just like yeah i'm a welder i weld i go home to my family I don't know what you're talking about.

30:06I'm so bummed, bro. I have to miss.

30:07Jason Stewart:You're like, so you don't take any free head at all, okay? No, free head. No, free head. I have to, dude, I have to miss. There's a fucking new Brandon Flowers solo album. They're doing a playback tonight. Got the invite from the head of the label, and I can't make it, bro. I can't go listen to the new. I saw Ronnie. I had a meeting this morning with Anna from Huxley at the Crosby Hotel. I saw Ronnie from the band, from the Killers, with his family, and it took everything in my power not to approach and be like, what's up, guys? like let's get this going what is when the killer's coming on how long gone what what is it going to take bro i'll pay the bill security i'll buy your kids some fucking orange juice what can we do the overnight oats have been paid for let's get a date on the calendar now i just feel i just peeled off a 20 for a fucking boiled egg and you're not going to come on the podcast but the um so i do have to miss it but morby's playing a little a show at lucinda's in the east village which is like lucinda williams opened like a small bar so i'm gonna i am gonna be able to catch that so I'm excited about that.

31:04It's going to be a big night for me. I've gone out every night this week. I'm fucking, I'm seeing double. Same, girl. I know, but when I'm on the road, it feels normal. It is. I don't know, like I'm not going to sit in a hotel room on a Tuesday night, but I'm going to sit in my own house on a Tuesday night. Period. You know what I mean? Yeah, same. We went to Marcel last night. What is Marcel? It's a new restaurant that's at the Sotheby's in the Brewer building uptown, like across from Gagosi on 72nd, and it is fucking popping, banging, like a big expensive New York restaurant. It's the La Mercerie people, Roman and Williams.

31:39But I was very impressed, I have to say. It's a continental restaurant. I thought it was because I'd walked by a few times in the room because Flora Bar used to be there. So I know the room. I used to go there pretty often. I really liked Flora. And it was just a real, it felt like a real, it felt kind of like a less Republican grill. like it felt a little like everybody's rich it's really serious the service is really good the uniforms are cool there's an elizabeth payton in the bathroom lounge it's like it's just a but the food was banging i was i was a little worried it's gonna be too fussy for me but we were able to

32:14Jason Stewart:navigate i was i was very pleased i guess it has a little the grill meets the vodore in terms of food and vibes because it has those french classics uh you know a little au poivre and really good though but um i'm seeing they have uh they have a baba owl rum yes on the dessert menu did you get that one no we got the madelines which were they came with like a jam of some kind they were delicious and then we also got there's a dessert on the menu called the window i we didn't order it and it came to the town i was like i don't know what this is and it was so fucking good i had to ask the pastry chef like what is this because this shit is too cracking This is the best window I've ever eaten.

32:54Literally. Yeah, I've eaten a lot of windows, and this is by far the best window.

32:58Jason Stewart:What the frick did you put in this window? Okay, it looks good. It looks good. I was admiring the baba au rum, which is like a dessert that it's kind of like a cake that has rum kind of poured. It's rum soaked into a little whipped cream on top. I saw a guy next to us was eating that. It did look delicious, but I did avoid it because of the rum contents. Yeah, that's not edge. But when I was in France at Chez Daniel, I believe, they have a drink policy that I really would like to see more of. With alcohol, they leave the bottle and then you pay what you drank. An honor bar situation, but they have eyes on you.

33:41Jason Stewart:It's an honor bar situation, but when you order the Baba au Rum, they just bring a bottle of rum with a little pour spout on it and just set it on the table and walk away. and it's up to you how much rum you want to put on there and they don't they don't charge you extra if you pour extra shots on there yeah yeah it's a it's just like a fun thing i think that we need to have more honor bar like baller activities like you're out of your you're out of you're out of your fucking mind we can't be trusted in this country are you crazy well that's somebody put that bottle in their purse we police ourselves that's the beauty of i mean obviously we're not going to do this at b dub dubs or hooters or whatever but you know let's say our you know friend of the show al wilmont his restaurant in la bar de bello it's a small room everyone's drinking they have the the big negroni in the chalice you ring a little bell it's you know it creates a fun environment and it's also it could be a spendy baller kind of move like let me get the baba rum it costs a hundred dollars yeah you're like oh why does that why does that costs a hundred dollars and like you'll see no that's true they just bring a nice bottle of rum and then it's up to you to pour how much you want on there yeah it was that does the whole room is looking at you yeah it's like a yeah sure we start chanting and stuff when you fuck it up so if you only do one glug pussy yeah eight glugs you're like that's too much you're getting greedy that's too much dude you're gonna get drunk yeah that's yeah that work that sounds super fun that'll really bring up the ambiance in any room look in any room we need these restaurants need to encourage more fun drinking because alcohol sales are in the tank our food sales are being decimated by our retatru tides there was a um we gotta get going there was a yeah the girls next to us ordered martinis and they came in these really beautiful glasses and it was like a different look it was like a different look than i'd seen ever before for a martini glass it's a different look i just was sort of like oh those are cool looking and they feel extra cold you know something about it was screaming cold even though there wasn't a stem to hold on to in the same way that you well i think a thicker glass i see um can hold more of that chill okay you know like a like a big heavy beer stein versus that petite kind of window pain thin i want to you i want you to get i want you to get to the point where you have in the man cave you got the the pint glasses the steins in the fridge in the freezer.

36:06Jason Stewart:I wouldn't mind getting to that point as well. You know what? For your 50th, I'm going to buy you an acai on tap for the kitchen. I think that'd be a nice gift for you. I was going to say, it has to be the Sapporo Ninja Sword draft full. Carolyn will maybe love it, maybe not. We'll see. Might have to do a little cozy to go over it. Yeah. yeah but there was a there was a did your mom ever have a cozy to put over kitchen appliances like a little something to cover the kitchenite or the blender or something bro she during i would say from the time i was 13 to 19 she wanted to put a cozy over me in the house so she'd have to look at my fucking ass with a fucking labre piercing and necklaces on but no i don't think no we had luckily in our kitchen and conures there was set there was a lot of storage in that kitchen so that most things were able to be tucked in a drawer or a cabinet of some sort no necessito cosito got it no but i think getting you one of those like a i like my version would be the the the chameleon cold brew no the suntory sparkling water machine they have it uh that's superiority burger that's superiority burger that spits out the good shit you thought you knew about bubbles no yeah well we're like on hacks in her in her kitchen gene smart's kitchen on hack she's got the fucking the full soda lineup she got the diet coke that got the different static flavor yeah but the famous i mean most famously there's the tommy lee with the starbucks in his basement we never how could we forget that from him to his cribs sure and those people are still down there living off of expired cinnamon cinnamon rolls actually we went to the starbucks today i just went in and grabbed a bottle of water to put some of my magna in and uh their their offerings are really shitting on american starbucks like all when you see the little display window of like the little snacks and things you can get and they're just like plastic pictures of food with like dust and flies on them you know yeah let me get that uh let me get that danish that looks delicious let me get that hand danish was hand painted in 2007 um no but the one just like a random shitty one next to the train station not like a starbucks reserve you know and the wharf or anything like that it was it was all business location full full tins of freshly made cinnamon rolls that are being like cut out with a spatula and put on a plate to order like we're at the the corner bistro or something yeah yeah bro but did you taste one though of course not that's the thing because i'm like i'm like i'm sure that's a nice presentation yeah but i don't i if it don't taste it's still gonna taste like starbucks food it's still gonna taste like cisco you're right or whatever the whatever the the local cisco is yeah i mean not that not the local cisco it's the cisco local like the sainsbury local yeah yeah local got a local um well so you've been putting down the pints but you went to this i saw that you guys went to that italian restaurant and well what did you think um yeah that restaurant was called uh hold on let me look it up jago gave you the idea correct yeah tiela trattoria um it's a little new newish italian spot trattoria and great little neighborhood vibe we had a really good meal quite good the um little little kind of chicken broth with some small uh small like little sourdough croutons that kind of soak up the broth little a little parm on top we got sat at like the the cute um date night table it's basically like a two top in its own little nook nook and corner with like a rounded table and it has a big window overlooking the the kind of town square it's definitely like it's definitely like the best seat in the house date night kind of thing and we got sat there they're they're nice enough to hook it up thanks to Yago but there were people sitting right behind us and one of the one of the two diners was speaking at a volume that was like we we were like laughing about how loud it was and and she was just saying worse than worse than talking to me it was worse than talking to you but because your your voice is very loud but it's more of a lower range frequency so it's a little more you know smooth on the ears versus this higher pitched frequency yeah that can be a little grading you know what i mean so you know you're you're you're giving boards of canada and she was giving you know death grips or something like that thank you for putting it square pusher thank you for putting it in terms that i sort of understand the voice is also she's she her voice is pointed at us which is then kind of bouncing off the little corner of the room that we're in and like we could not hear anything except her stories of like what happened at work today you know like the most inane boring convo so the the server came over and we we asked like hey you know bro no oh okay i thought you were gonna say qteller shut up i was like damn you're bold you're bold over there no we i i shot her like the the girl like three looks who was talking and she lowered the volume of her voice for like three seconds and then it went straight back up to like can i ask you a question i don't want to i don't want to do this i really don't um and it's the wrong thing to do but can i ask about her looks she wasn't the most attractive bird in the cage this episode of how long gone is brought to us by our friends at dart collective um i think we can all agree that wedding music is typically quite lame um cheesy and it doesn't represent the bride and groom's personal music taste.

41:59Luckily, Dart works with actual musicians and artists, many of whom have their own productive careers or tour in bands you've heard of. Everyone 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.

42:27Jason Stewart:Yeah, Chris, I am personally friends with Michael from Dart, and I have worked with them for years. I think the last time I did a big one, we did the Sweet Green wedding. They set up a beautiful booth 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, 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 that stuff.

43:09Jason Stewart: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 ask for Mike.

44:05Okay, all right. Because I feel like maybe if she was a baddie, you would have found it in your heart to kind of power through if the view was good is all I'm trying to say. All I'm trying to say.

44:19Jason Stewart:Interesting. Yes, yes, yes. If she was a more fit bird, would we allow? I mean, Carolyn and I would both allow it since we love beauty. But the server came over and we moved. And it ended up being better. We moved to the bar and we sat there as a little more of in the center of the restaurant. And we can chat with the bartender. And it was really funny. We were talking and they were just like, and here's the menu. And you have this wine and this and this. and it's casual and chill, but it still is like a very traditional trattoria. So like, you know, you do this and then this comes and the Segundi and the Primi and the have wine here and have Amaro here.

45:00Jason Stewart:You know, there's a structure to it. He referenced something about like, oh yeah, it's a little different than how things are in America. And I was like, how'd you know we were from America? Oh, here we go. And I said it, I was like, how'd you know we were from America? Just kidding, just kidding. Like, obviously you can tell we're from America. up he doesn't laugh he doesn't say anything just a straight face and he goes your shirt what was your shirt it was a it was a polo shirt like a regular around polo button-up shirt it wasn't terrible i mean he was joking he was he was it was he was being sarcastic like he was just like fucking with me but that kind of dry british delivery and it cuts in a way i mean it's funny Very few Americans can pull off.

45:44Jason Stewart:So kudos to you. Unless you were being completely serious, then fuck you. But he was a great guy. Had a great meal with him. It was quite wonderful. A little pasta fagioli. Love that. I love that. Delicious bread, a nice clam and tomato and garbanzo dish. The olive oil was flowing. A lot of clams, a lot of olive oil, a lot of tomatoes going in my body since I've been in London. And I'm not fucking complaining, mate. I'm not fucking complaining then. When we were in Paris, we went to the Charvet store. Yeah. And it got me thinking on a menswear tip. Carolyn got some of the little leather slippies.

46:23Jason Stewart:I got a couple little silk handkerchiefs for the pocket square. What are you going to do? Wow. You'll be seeing those in New York. Wow. Okay, bro. Go off. Are you being sarcastic or no? Well, I'll have to see it first and then I'll let you know if I'm sarcastic or not. You're going to like my pocket. Do you have any pocket squares? or kerchiefs oh no i hate those i mean i wear like with tom brown you have to wear one like that's the only time i've ever worn a pocket square really does he hit you if you don't um he wouldn't but some would be sent to kind of course correct your behavior you'll be reprimanded you'll be reprimanded somehow yeah but no i just i always found pocket squares they look cool on some people i just don't think i i don't like the flair of it i would say yeah i feel like um since I don't really I love wearing a suit I don't always love wearing a tie and I think it kind of helps dress up a tie-less suit look with a splash of contrast in color that no I agree I agree pause I agree with that I mean the problem is I go back and forth where if I'm wearing a suit or a jacket I'm wearing a t-shirt or a tie and there's no in between really like unless I'm wearing a denim shirt then I'll wear it with no tie and no so you won't wear like an Oxford shirt unbuttoned no not you i mean i've done it before i don't love it i love a denim shirt unbuttoned or i love an oxford shirt or a poplin shirt with a tie oof what if you had a denim pocket square denim kerchief imagine oh i didn't that'd really fit in there nice i'm sure it'd be super comfortable a little too mel of finland for me mel of finland exactly that's okay so you got some that's nice you got some pocket squares though that's the most affordable thing there so glad you're able to find something that wasn't custom hey i bought two of them though i bought two of them what's that hitting for big bro they're like 125 each i think yeah that's not crazy but when i was there those uh i we we got to go visit the the room upstairs where they have all the fabrics yeah yeah and you can get the the made-to-measure suits and pick out the collars and the cuffs and the all that and it was really cool but they had the uh the suspender room where it was just you know a hundred different pairs of suspenders different colors and clasps and types and buttons and this and i i really kind of want to try suspender life have you ever done that before no i'm never going to do that i hate that shit i mean i i think it serves a purpose but what if no one can see i i don't want to walk around like a 1940s boxer i could i could spiritually tell that you're i could tell i could feel it on you particularly because i know you not everyone sure but the the the woman that was guiding us where i was asking her about the suspenders and blah blah blah and she was saying like you know this one's more chic than this one and blah blah blah but she was saying like also it is it is healthier and better for the human body it's it's less constricting on the gut and it's just like and i feel like because i'm like such a a tall lanky lad with not much of a bbl you know i really that belt's kind of doing a lot like if i'm not wearing a belt most of my pants it's not like they're gonna wiggle their way down throughout the night it's like it's a free fall it looks like the twin like my pants just yeah not much is keeping them up so so i'm always belted i like the way belts look though that's the thing i like the way a belt looks that's part of the reason that i like belts maybe we can get like a clip-on belt that's just for show yeah that's what i think about yeah what if the belt just kind of sat there it just balanced kind of on my way but if it seems so nice to sit to set your pants exactly where you want them to be and then they are only being supported by gravity hanging freely off of your strong shoulders not cinching your gut microbiome and intestine oh yeah yeah yeah on no on a practical level it makes sense it's just dorky if you're not i would say 60 plus that's the thing it feels like an age gate okay well i'm close yeah you're you're not that far but also what if you what if you're like a badass non-racist parentheses skinhead you got the fucking you got the 501s the suspenders you got a little vintage t underneath that's different that's different and also obviously i cannot pull that off but i'm saying that's one of the most advanced moves that is ever t-shirt with suspenders are you saying a rude boy i am not i mean i look i would love to see you in the doc martin 12i with the white laces and a fucking you know a screwdriver t paper thin tucked into the 501s i'm giving a little more rancid than screwdriver is the issue here i don't know yeah i mean i love dude i was listening to rancid ruby soho smash put that shit on the end of the episode bro ruby soho what a great song you got it because last night no doubt first show at the sphere yeah i saw those janky ass visuals it was depressing watching that it made me feel like i was watching something at like a disney adults activity and not like well that's i mean the sphere this the sphere is a disney adults activity that's kind of it is but when you add the note out to it it maybe because i'm so close to it because i am like the target age range of a lot of those people like it's a bunch of people who are like in their you know millennial folks who have a little disposable income and they are gonna go and they're gonna buy the merch and get a babysitter and we're gonna enjoy the music of no doubt and we don't even have to stand up we can just sit the whole time and watch it on a giant tv screen that is the whole thing about the sphere it just feels as much as i want to go i don't know because anybody who's going to do sick visuals i'm not going to like the music you know what i mean that's the reality of it because i'm not as i'm not i'm not into sick visuals like i don't care um but i that's the whole promise of the experience so i feel like i would have to embrace the sick visuals yeah but that's why no doubt felt like a salve a nice in between but it did look a little depressing yeah and also because of her her maga leanings you know i feel like that's going to greatly alter the crowd type as well i like the i don't think the type of people that would go or maybe not i disagree actually i think i think that i think the people that love no doubt either are republicans now or don't care about that at all yeah most no doubt fans are like oh finally she's public with the stuff now i don't i really i kind of feel like it's like dude whatever this shit got me through my 20s like i don't give a fuck that she's married to blake shelton and looks like a robot like i don't give a fuck like how i feel about the music of r kelly got me through my 20s exactly exactly taught you a lot uh i think that she you know i think also the body look she can still wear the little tank top she can still still wear the wife little crop wife beater i would say most you know 50s pop stars cannot do that 50s yeah she finally turned from a 50s style pinup girl to a 50 year old pinup girl did you see okay so there's some stuff going on um with women oh um just a few so you know billy eilish oh billy eilish premiered something last night she was on the carpet with our boy nate and uh yeah who wolf who did the pod yeah yeah that people are like what what happened to her gay shit what the fuck she lied i'm like of course she lied and then hayden pantier who you i'm sure you remember from heroes classic program with with uh my boy milo known milo vintamila the guy the hot guy who's known for being a real denim enthusiast she i never watched heroes but i think i was me neither familiar with some of her earlier work like uh bring it on of course etc she's she's written a memoir come out as bisexual and that is she's feeling very I'm very proud of her for being able to speak her truth and I just wonder I wonder if this is going to move the needle for her if she's going to get a whole new audience because of her sexual liberation She bi They say with chicks what I heard you got to pick one bipolar or bisexual that's what I heard that's what I heard and I'm not saying that I'm not saying that I'm saying people are saying that I feel like I know a couple who are both You can't.

54:42That's the thing. I was going to say. That's the thing. You can't. It ain't binary. You can be both. You can be both.

54:48Jason Stewart:So you're saying there's nothing binary about being bi? Nah, bro. Let's not try to. We can't box these women in. Let them be both. All the bi's. Look, we are not going to box you ladies in. We're giving you two choices. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. You got two choices. Which are you, polar or sexual? Pick one. You're either scissoring or psycho. What's it going to be? scissoring but psycho that's a good that could be the song don't make me change it from rancid now chris oh yeah shit my bad my bad i won't do that yeah so yeah so billy people want her to be a lesbian or people or just want her to pick one thing i think people want i think that i think that nowadays it's basically like there was a period where every you know pop star woman had to at least you know maybe not say straight up i'm bi or i'm gay or whatever but there was a little bit of a you know oh maybe i'm just down for whatever you know and now i think people are a little bit bit like i think you guys lied to us because of the moment we were in and that was more that would bode well for you in the public sphere uh but i think now maybe we've moved past that it's you're getting greedy exactly saying like uh you know i want to appeal to everyone and they say no no i think fashion has a lot to do with it whereas just like if if the if the the the paint job don't match what you got under the hood then then people get annoyed and confused because people attach so much of their own personal identity yeah for sure you know of of a musicians to you know if if i really love pink and i'm obsessed with pink i'm probably gonna be dressed like pink you know what i mean i'm probably not going to be wearing whatever the opposite of of lesbian co-worker music i love clothing i love i love pink man pink it's like you look at her you look at her on stage like all right i get it she could also be a fucking you know regional manager at bucky's and there's no it's like it could go either way i don't want sexy red wearing like a tasteful cuckoo intimate set no while she's up there saying fuck your daddy or whatever it is you know so it's confusing so all the cuckoo intimate people are like who are all these sexy reds all the sexy red people are saying i don't know if i want to shop at brandy melville i want to shop it's so confusing at body it's a body by body body melville that's their new they have body melville that's my body melville it's just all the same clothes but in different color camo that's when chicks really yes when you know she oh no she's a body melville if you know what i'm saying no body melville it could be on to something and i would like to explore this subject more if we weren't two straight men in their 40s body no but no body melville is their answer to gaps Athleta or Tallululemon.

57:28Body Melville is skims for the Urban Outfitters set.

57:32Jason Stewart:Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're coming for Aloe check. Bro, I saw A$AP Rocky is wearing... That's not a bad idea. A$AP Rocky is also wearing an Aloe hoodie this week. What is... How did Aloe... Who brought Aloe to the hood? Because the Joe Budden guys wear it. Who is responsible for tricking black men into thinking Aloe is cool? It's a shock... I think it's less of a trick and more of a wire transfer i know it's definitely not that it's definitely i mean jimmy butler's the one getting paid but i don't know if i really think that like there's some it's sort of expensive and i guess maybe your chick wears it and she puts you on is is maybe what it is i don't i don't think it's actually i unfortunately don't think it's more sinister or calculated than that which you know kills me yeah but i mean i it's tough because there can be people out there who were so awesome and so great and we love them and then when you see them wearing aloe not for a check or even for a check it makes you look at them a little differently it's like kind of like oh maybe you aren't it just ain't for men i thought your line was further it just ain't for like you see a guy i mean guys are pulling up in the aloe shoes i mean there's no there's no end in sight there's no line in sight those are people who are like i need i never need to see a pussy again in my life i mean the problem the problem is i think i have sports but they can't even do yoga have you seen you've been in europe you've been you maybe haven't been paying attention but our friends over at the substack corporation have launched a video podcast oh do they have a unique subject style or they or is it a new style of uh it doesn't look like i'm watching i got an email just now it's called open tab and uh the first one is with with emily of course the the goat of substack and it looks to be like her, they're at like a bar which I'm into, the setting is more sort of like CBS Sunday morning, you know what I mean?

59:20Than it is like Theo Vaughn which I prefer

59:23Jason Stewart:I guess Seth Meyers, he has that segment where they go get drunk in a bar but I think they actually I would rather see this style though than another like bad studio this is much preferred to me but are they actually drinking or are they just having there's two in in the clip i'm seeing in the header emily and the her and the host both have empty pints in front of them okay and i'm gonna assume knowing emily emily will drain a pint she ain't scared she definitely she definitely she definitely had a pint one pint one pint doesn't really yeah but i assume but i still feel like it's a better i just think if we're gonna if everybody's got to do video podcasts i'm happy for you to break out of the fucking you would think that so many people would be a little afraid to do that but i guess it's i'm sure that they have these ground rules and maybe they'll water the drinks down and limit them to a few no i think i was looking at it i don't know i mean i haven't checked it out but um i don't really have any interest you know shout out to sub stack you guys rock but i don't have interest in like you're tell me your founder story there's too many founder stories not for me no i we the The world does not need any more founder stories because it's also, it's not a conversation.

1:00:38Jason Stewart:It's somebody who's not a professional storyteller telling a story drunk on a podcast. I don't think anybody, well, I just think this makes sense for Substack because that's who their audience is. Yeah. I don't want to, I'm not, I don't want to hear it either, but I think that if they're going to do this, this makes sense. And Substack, just like everyone else, you know, whether you like it or not, we do have to pivot to short form video clips. No, totally. I think it actually is smart and makes sense and is like the sort of, I don't, I don't, I mean, if video is the thing and you've already got the subscribers, like why not give it to them and see what happens?

1:01:11It's no, it's not, you know what I mean? It's not, there's not really a high risk involved, I guess.

1:01:15Jason Stewart:No, no, no. And they got, you gotta, you gotta get in. You gotta start playing the game. You gotta start playing the game. You gotta start playing the game. Yeah. We have to start playing the game. So we're going to film a new How Long Gone today. I think the next time you're in LA, which is not too far from now. no, I'm getting my video editing skills are improving. My Premiere Pro skills are improving. I might be hitting up one or two of you bros for some green screen tips. This is interesting, actually. It's not that hard. I've opened this fully, and it's a little bit of a combo of sort of like a CBS Sunday Morning or Seth Meyers thing.

1:01:49And also, it says what the tab is, like the way the lunch with the Financial Times in the Sunday says. The last one I saw, I sent it to Ed Cummins because it was killing me. a guy took him to McDonald's, which I thought was so sick because I've never seen that before and I've been reading that column forever. And I'm sure somebody's done it before, but I was like, this is a real flex to take the reporter from the FT to McDonald's for your talk.

1:02:13Jason Stewart:Yeah, suck it, FT. Just kidding, you guys are awesome. Suck it, FT. And congrats to Shane Smith from Vice launching his new social media outlet and podcast where he's going to report about the news but not like how your dad watches it. It's unbelievable. But I like that tweet because it said he wants the new Vice News platform to be a brand partnership vehicle. I mean, look, the thing is, I appreciate it. I just got a kick out of that. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. But I also admire the honesty of like, oh, I'm doing this to make money the same way all you guys are doing this to make money.

1:02:53Jason Stewart:He needs a lot of money. He doesn't have any money. But somebody who needs money is also going to say something like, hey, I really need money. And you guys know it. Versus like, oh, I just really love doing a video where we copy this other video. What if we lay down on the therapist chair and I interview you and there's a puppy there and we can do something with our hands? I like puppy. Puppy cute. All right. How long gone? Thank you for listening, Jason. Enjoy your time in London. then I know you're seeing a friend of the show, Shad. I'm about to go hit Shad and Ben, good old Chef Ben who was on the pod not too long ago.

1:03:33Oh, the goat. Shout out to Ben.

1:03:35Jason Stewart:Shout out Ben and Shad. We're going to go grab a little pregame meal and then off to the O2 to see Taemin Pala with special guest Dua Lipa. Are they coming to – is Shad coming to the show too? Yes. Yeah, nice. Shad will go to any show. I like that. The thing about Shah that's so intoxicating is that he can party and he'll go to anything and he's always got a good attitude. It's infectious. Like I can't. He has a real thirst for music and culture and hopefully that never leaves his innocent little body. That's the thing. Because we used to have that too and it's gone. Yeah, long, long gone. We got new Charlie at midnight.

1:04:14Guitars are back. Fingers are crossed.

1:04:17Jason Stewart:Rock on. Rock on then. I can't wait to see how rock. Hey, I don't listen to Charlie. you i only listen to rock music that's i mean that's all about to change because you can have both now just rock and roll thank you for listening uh jason have fun and uh i will uh talk to you later
