Speaker A: All right, uh, 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 3 times a week. Jason, does that sound familiar to you? Speaker B: We don't really talk about, you know, 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.

Speaker A: All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. How Long Gone, Chris Black, Daddy's Little Bitch. I'm back in New York. The rain, the rain is coming down, but I made it and time to podcast. It's been a long journey today, but I'm happy to be here. I had a late afternoon, uh, uncut cold brew as soon as I walked through the door, so I'm ready to fucking rock, TJ. Speaker B: Okay, you ready to settle in and just enjoy the home for a while now?

You've been traveling so much, or are you gonna go on an international flight tomorrow? Speaker A: Uh, yeah, tomorrow. Uh, yeah, tomorrow night, back, back on road. I gotta shoot at 9:00 AM and then finish that at 3:00. Got to hit the gym, repack, and then we're hitting— we're hitting Gay Paris, 9:30 PM from JFK. The game don't stop, baby.
