Jason, we're at the age where we've attended a lot of weddings, not only our own, but friends, family, et cetera, et cetera. And the through line, unless they hire you, is shitty music.

**Jason Stewart** (0:10)
Yeah, the cross-section of people who can DJ a wedding well and people who are cool, very small, so much that you would have to throw a dart at a dartboard and hit a bullseye just to find them. And luckily we did, Chris.

**Chris Black** (0:23)
Thank God. And dart works with actual musicians and artists, many of whom have their own careers and tour in bands like Leon Bridges, Taylor Swift, The Dare, Serenity Carpenter. I could go on and on. Dart DJs use vinyl and are cool in a way that your friends would be, not in a dated Vegas performer type of way. And they have an in-house stylist so they don't show up looking like shit.
Shout out to Pete for that one.

Dart can do intimate stuff to huge celebrity events as well. Hiring Dart feels like hiring your very talented friend who happens to be a DJ. Dart is for people who actually like music and have 14 years in the biz. Tons of experience. I've worked with them. Highly recommended. So if you are getting married or you have any type of cool event going on and you need a good DJ, they got you. Hubs in LA, SF, Austin, New York, Chicago, all over the place.

Dart, like throwing a dart, dashcollective.com. That's D-A-R-T dash collective.com. Email Michael at dart dash collective.com and tell him that Chris and Jason from How Long Gone sent you.
How Long Gone, a beautiful Sunday. He is risen. Them jeans is up. He's packing. He's moving around. I've already hit the gym. The weather is looking good. Sounds like a perfect Sunday to me, bro. I read three articles in New York Times Magazine. I mean, what, does it get better than this?

**Jason Stewart** (2:01)
Oh, okay. Three articles in the magazine. You're up, you're up like it's stuck. It's noon over there. So you've had more time. Nine here, just dropped bean off at the dog sitters. And we're going to go up to Sea Ranch for a relaxing weekend, or I guess a relaxing Monday.

**Chris Black** (2:19)
Well, it counts, whatever. You know, three days, three days can be a weekend, no matter where you shove it, you know, in the week.

**Jason Stewart** (2:24)
As a content creator, there are no weekdays. There are no weekends. Every day is Christmas, and no day is anything.

**Chris Black** (2:30)
You know, I'm seeing a lot of, I've been seeing some stuff lately, talking about how Sea Ranch is trending.

**Jason Stewart** (2:35)
Who, is it, is it AI related?

**Chris Black** (2:37)
I don't, I can't hear about AI anymore, so I don't know. That, that's, I, I try, I'm, I'm thinking I'm at a point.

**Jason Stewart** (2:42)
Sorry, sorry, is it Chinese people related?

**Chris Black** (2:44)
That, I don't know. I would never say something like that, but I'm, I've been able to scan past the word AI and not compute it as much as possible when, when using my eyeballs to ingest information.

**Jason Stewart** (2:57)
I'm trying to, you know. But whatever the opposite of diligent is, that's what you're being in terms of seeing AI out in the wild. So, so the, of the three articles you read in the New York Times Magazine, any of them, any of them stand out? Is there a winner?

**Chris Black** (3:11)
Well, there was a great, there was a great story about Shania Twain from Lizzie, who did, Lizzie, who did Meet Me in the Bathroom, wrote it. And it was just, it was, I just forget how this happens sometimes, or like a 60 year old artist who is really, really, you know, she's the best selling female solo artist of all time.

**Jason Stewart** (3:30)
What?

**Chris Black** (3:31)
She has an album. That's, isn't that crazy? I would have never, I never knew that.

**Jason Stewart** (3:35)
More than Whitney and Mariah and all that. Okay. Well, I mean, I guess, you know, her catalog does run deep. She has songs that get played amongst every type of person. And you know, the country folks, the regular folks, they're all rocking with it. Not all the country folks are bumping, bumping that Whitney and some early Mariah.
So, is the article...

**Chris Black** (3:55)
It's just sort of like about how she's had this resurgence in the opening of the Harry Styles shows in London and how she's like been really embraced by, you know, whatever Maggie Rogers and Harry Styles and Mumford and, you know, all these, all these sort of...
