1004. - Chris & Jason

Chris Black (0:00)

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 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 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 going to 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, et cetera. I'm just going to 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.

Jason Stewart (1:18)

Chris Black (1:40)

Boy, mate, how long gone? Beautiful day in London, Jason. I'm just praying that you didn't go to ComplexCon. Are you OK?

Jason Stewart (1:48)

I was Mark Safe from ComplexCon at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It used to be in Long Beach, Strong Beach.

Chris Black (1:56)

Yo, wow.

SPEAKER_3 (1:56)

And I was able to avoid it.

Chris Black (1:58)

I've never heard Strong Beach before. That's nice. That's sad that I've never heard that. Yeah.

Jason Stewart (2:02)

Damn, well, you don't listen to enough West Side Connection, I guess.

Chris Black (2:06)

Nope, I really don't. I really don't.

Jason Stewart (2:08)

So typically, I live in LA, and then I'm able to avoid ComplexCon as it's in Long Beach. And then now that it's in Los Angeles, I actually went down to Orange County to escape the urban heat and flavor.

Chris Black (2:22)

Oh, that's smart. I see what you did. I was, yeah, I woke up today and I was looking on the timeline, as I do, and I was just, I watched a video where a guy was standing at the entrance of ComplexCon asking everyone what booth they were going to first. And I kid you not, out of 15 respondents, I might have known two of the brands mentioned.

And I sort of do this for a living. And I was kind of like, wow, there's a whole world that exists out there where you can get stabbed over a hoodie that people haven't even heard of. And that's powerful. That's powerful.

Jason Stewart (3:01)

I mean, people like us haven't heard of it.

Chris Black (3:04)

No, but it used to be like, if you're gonna get stabbed, it's going to be for bape, or at least some crazy, you know, polo, low head shit, or, you know, something.

SPEAKER_3 (3:12)

Now, it's literally...

Jason Stewart (3:12)

Shout out to our Pleasures family. Get stabbed over some pleasures. It was a simpler time back then.

SPEAKER_3 (3:16)

Can't get stabbed.

Jason Stewart (3:17)

Now, it's called, I got stabbed in front of the X9C411 booth.

Chris Black (3:23)

It's just words.

Jason Stewart (3:24)

I got stabbed at the Ann Demeulemeester booth, or all these crazy brand names.

Chris Black (3:30)

Well, at least Ann is a real brand. I like, the name is crazy to say every time. Ann wasn't there. She was busy collaborating with Ethel Cain. I'm just looking at some of these.

Jason Stewart (3:39)

Has anyone ever called it Zan Demeulemeester?

Chris Black (3:41)

Definitely. Actually, I never say this, but yes, I think so. Yeah, I'm looking at the website now at the people that are, and it's amazing, the mix of booths. We've got, Amazon has a booth, so I do know that brand at least.

Jason Stewart (3:56)

Shout out to Neil. Get that check, baby.

Chris Black (3:58)

Going through here is-

Jason Stewart (3:59)

We've got to pay for all this bullshit.

Chris Black (4:00)

Ben Yeh Boys, Beham Studios, Blue T-Shirt, Bottega Desires, Kumpf, Circulate, Design by Leaf. Bro, this is crazy.
