We've been debating this off mic, you know, off camera and our personal lives, but you know, we're looking to expand our How Long Gone portfolio. And we've been debating whether, what we should do, and I think we've landed on a boat.
I've been using Yahoo! Scout to make my case for the boat. I've gotten a lot of great information from Yahoo! Scout. It's organized it all perfectly for me. And I have the data to fight you in the squared circle, but I have you done, do you have something to bring to the table? Have you been using Yahoo! Scout as well?
Jason Stewart (0:32)
So the host of How Long Gone podcast, Buy a Boat, I typed in R instead of T and it said, should I buy a boar? And then, you know, Yahoo! Scout was really cranking out a lot of agricultural relevance with livestock farming as an investment. And instead of saying, oh, did you mean a boat? It said, no, I'm gonna give you lots of pros and cons and things that you should talk about if you're trying to win a debate about boar ownership.
Chris Black (0:59)
I'm still focused on the boat. I don't want to get into our financials, etc. I'm just gonna put all that information into the Yahoo! Scout and let it spit out all the data and then I'll present you with a kind of a fully formed idea in deck format and we can kind of take it from there. But I feel pretty good about this. Thanks to Yahoo! Scout.

Chris Black (1:40)
How long gone? Bonjour, Jason.
How's it going, bro?
Jason Stewart (1:45)
What up? Oompetit, bitch. It's going well.
I was just signing my Apple Hardware Loan agreement right before we got on here. I was just checking the fine print.
Chris Black (1:57)
Oh, I'm sure you had your magnifying glass up for the free phone agreement. I know you were going over that.
Jason Stewart (2:02)
The team take a look at everything, just kind of go through it. Due diligence, they call it over here, but I've noticed, because they're like, what kind of phone do you want? What color phone do you want? And that's pretty much it. We decide how many gigabytes of storage you get and et cetera, et cetera. But they also threw in a case, a cross body strap and a wrist strap.
Chris Black (2:26)
Oh, I don't think I got the wrist strap, but the case, the Apple case is nice. I never think to buy one, because I don't know, I just don't, but it's nice. It's got like a-
Jason Stewart (2:35)
Because Batman don't use iPhone case. I do. No shade to our case users.
Chris Black (2:40)
I use a case, bro. I don't give a fuck. I don't-
Jason Stewart (2:42)
Well, I said Batman. Batman.
Chris Black (2:44)
Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
Jason Stewart (2:45)
I'm sorry.
Chris Black (2:46)
I'm sorry.
Jason Stewart (2:47)
I hate to be the person to tell you this right now, Chris, but you're not the baddest man.
Chris Black (2:51)
Okay. That's bullshit coming from you. It's just FYI.
Jason Stewart (2:57)
Take one to know one, Bumma Claw.
Chris Black (2:58)
Okay. Sure.
Jason Stewart (3:00)
Take one to know one.
Chris Black (3:01)
Got it. Thank you. Thank you for that explanation.
Jason Stewart (3:04)
Yeah. The call is coming from inside the dance.
Chris Black (3:08)
Yes. No, of course. Of course.
Jason Stewart (3:11)
So what's up?
Chris Black (3:13)
Just been all over. The weather is really nice today, so I was fucking hitting the lime hard as hell.
Criss-crossing the river. But no, I had lunch.
Jason Stewart (3:23)
It is fun riding it over the river, isn't it?
Chris Black (3:25)
It is fun. Yeah. I had a nice lunch. And then what else? I did a little shopping, kick the tires on some local retail establishments.
Jason Stewart (3:33)
Okay. So you're just on holiday then. That's nice.
Chris Black (3:36)
I mean, the thing is, nobody's up for the first, at least half the day here. So if you make quick work-
Jason Stewart (3:42)
Who up? Nobody.
Chris Black (3:44)
Who up? Literally nobody. So you can go check out the La Mer store and get, and there's eight people on there and they tell you that like, we don't have a sales associate for you. So if you need anything, they really didn't want to let me in. Really? I was like, dude, it's just, they want every store now, every designer store wants to assign you a salesperson when you walk in the door and they want to follow you around like a fucking hound. And it's like, dude, these shirts are expensive. They're not that expensive. You know what I mean? I'm not in Hermes, I'm not in Prada. Like I can afford a La Mer shirt if I want a La Mer shirt. You don't got to follow me around like I'm going to rob the place.
