How Long Gone by Justin and Hailey How long gone? We're back, baby. It's, it's, we're done. Vacation's over. You losers gotta leave the beach, get back in front of the fucking machines. It's time to lock in. You forgot your Dropbox password. That's too bad.
Oh man. We're back, baby. It's, it's the first day of the rest of our lives. Jason, do you feel the energy? It's palpable in New York City. The sun is out. It's a beautiful day.
Jason Stewart (0:39)
I woke up, I fired up my Squarespace. I just started making websites for all my new business ideas I came up with on holiday.
Chris Black (0:46)
That's what happens when you do Coke on holiday. I love the follow through.
Jason Stewart (0:49)
We should totally do a bed and breakfast, babe.
Chris Black (0:51)
I woke up today and I was thinking about reading my favorite book. So I was able to crack a tattered King James version of the Bible. So I was able to, like Justin Bieber, we all have a favorite book and I could go through the list, blah, blah, blah. But if we're keeping it a bug, obviously there's one book, Jason, the good book, the Bible.
I know you side with me on this too.
Jason Stewart (1:19)
I mean, if you have to name one book, I mean, you know what I mean? Sure, there's lots of other books out there that'll make you look more cool and more fuckable to people like Hailey Bieber. But when you really got to be, it's like, hey, all time favorite food, death throw, you gotta eat this for the rest of your life. Am I gonna get the foie gras with a gold leaf?
No. With caviar on top? Am I gonna get a double double animal style?
Chris Black (1:45)
You know what I mean? The Bible is the double double animal style of last meals. There's no question there.
Jason Stewart (1:52)
I let Jesus Christ hit animal style.
Chris Black (1:54)
There's no one yet.
If you're the double youth, the new Youth Focus Magazine from WKMISJ, and the pictures are great. Justin and Hailey shot themselves. And there's a questionnaire, and some of the answers are causing a kerfuffle online because Justin said his favorite book was the Bible, and Hailey said her favorite book was a children's book.
Jason Stewart (2:22)
And she said her favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
Chris Black (2:25)
She also said her favorite movie is The Grinch. I mean, it's, it's, it, you know what?
Jason Stewart (2:29)
These love a holiday.
Chris Black (2:31)
Let me say something. Sometimes you're so hot that you shouldn't talk. You're so talented that you should get that once a day. You shouldn't talk.
I think we learned-
Jason Stewart (2:41)
Shut that big, long, beautiful mouth up.
Chris Black (2:43)
Hailey Bieber is, is white, hot, unbelievably sexy. She's got, she's, she's a, a business woman.
Jason Stewart (2:50)
She's the Whitney Port of the Baldwin family, I'll say that.
Chris Black (2:53)
She's killing the game with her road skincare.
Justin is obviously a generational talent. You know what? I'm good. I only want to hear from them, hear from them if it's music or in her case, imagery.
Jason Stewart (3:06)
Yeah.
Chris Black (3:07)
I think that they've, they've found where they, they excel and they, when they venture outside of that, it can become scary.
Jason Stewart (3:14)
Yeah.
And I'm sure it was frightening to go down this path. And that's why they had to shoot each other for it, you know. And, but I will also say as a God fearing citizen and Canadian, first and foremost, Justin at this point in his life, he cannot lie. So when they asked him his favorite book, the Bible is the only book that he has read, not all of it, not all in one sitting.
Chris Black (3:36)
Yeah.
Jason Stewart (3:37)
And likely within the last five years, so it's still kind of fresh on the mind. And also, you and I, we think about, you know, like of all the holidays where it's awesome, Thanksgiving, I don't know if it's ranking at the top, but imagine being a kid growing up in the 90s at the Baldwin family Thanksgiving. That was probably amazing. That's a good point.
Chris Black (3:56)
That who knows who's coming over. The food is great, even though none of the women are eating at the table. It doesn't really matter.
Jason Stewart (4:02)
None of the men are either. Cocaine, baby.
Chris Black (4:04)
You're right.
It all tracks and it all makes sense, and that's why I'm proud of them for their honesty. I think there's nothing wrong with that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Congratulations to both of them.
