962. - Chris & Jason

All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you?

**Jason Stewart** (0:13)
We don't really talk about a lot of international, global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place.

**Chris Black** (0:26)
All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. At the top, it's just us, How Long Gone, back for another fucking podcast. Am I right, them genes?

**Jason Stewart** (0:54)
You're right, Chris, they're not my ads, they're our ads. And we have to do them together, and we get to profit from them together. I'm just over here.
Let's see, Thursday morning, the clouds of burning lithium ion batteries have begun to sort of clear a path. It's, you know, we have a heat wave going on. There's like seven earthquakes that happened yesterday. There's supposed to be a bro, an alien was supposed to come at the Brazil game yesterday. I don't think that happened.

**Chris Black** (1:23)
I saw that.

**Jason Stewart** (1:24)
I saw that.

**Chris Black** (1:24)
And I was waiting with bated breath, but I haven't seen an alien appear yet.

**Jason Stewart** (1:29)
No.

**Chris Black** (1:30)
I mean, I saw some alien type creatures this morning at 6 a.m. at Newark, but I don't think they were from another planet. You know what I mean? I don't think.

**Jason Stewart** (1:39)
You were at Newark at 6 a.m. today?

**Chris Black** (1:41)
Hell yeah, big bro. Come on. You know how I do it. We have first flight out.

**Jason Stewart** (1:45)
I didn't know. So where are you now?

**Chris Black** (1:47)
Where are you now that I need you? I'm in ATL, baby. ATL ho.

**Jason Stewart** (1:52)
So you went down just to just a bull with your fam?

**Chris Black** (1:55)
Yeah, I'm trying to work. I'm trying to lock in. I got some quiet.

**Jason Stewart** (1:57)
Just a politic with you. Oh, this is, are we on a big, this is Chris's riders retreat. Now don't go in his room.

**Chris Black** (2:04)
I'll just leave the biscuits at the door, sweetheart. You can get them when you're hungry.

**Jason Stewart** (2:07)
Okay. So she's going to slide in the Tate's cookies underneath the door while you're clacking away on the-

**Chris Black** (2:12)
Please. My mom, my mom makes her own. She's not a cook by any means, but when it comes to dessert, she's kind of sick with it. That's the- You've had a-

**Jason Stewart** (2:20)
She does pastry. You've had a brookie. She's not into savory. Yeah, of course. I've had some of her work in the cluster space.
What she can do with a white chocolate.

**Chris Black** (2:30)
That's what they call me when I'm home, so it works out perfectly. That's actually named after me.

**Jason Stewart** (2:33)
That's what they yell at you as you drive by. Those people on ATVs yell at you. Yeah.

**Chris Black** (2:37)
When I got my old school out, they called me white chocolate on Sundays.

**Jason Stewart** (2:41)
You probably go into, what's the name of the vegan restaurant?

**Chris Black** (2:47)
Oh, Sluddy Vegan, RIP.

**Jason Stewart** (2:48)
I think she's the old school, the Sluddy Vegan, everyone's yelling white chocolate.

**Chris Black** (2:52)
Unfortunately, I think Sluddy Vegan was, much like Kiki's, has been repossessed by the United States government for lack of-

**Jason Stewart** (2:59)
No, I heard that Sluddy Vegan is actually pivoting to AI. Their stock is crazy right now.

**Chris Black** (3:05)
Surging. Her memoirs sold out. Stock is surging every which way.

**Jason Stewart** (3:09)
Yeah, we didn't even talk about Kiki's. I mean-

**Chris Black** (3:12)
But you know why, Jason? You know why, Jason? Because it's a classic who-care situation. I think I've been there once in my life, maybe twice. And I was, you know, it's one of those things that this happens to you too. It's happened to all of us, where you go somewhere that you've heard a lot about and you sit down and you're just like, you know what? This just ain't for me.
Even if the zucchini chips are smacking and the AC is cranking, it's just, this ain't, you just know, this ain't for me.
