947. - Ryan O'Connell
Our dear friend Ryan O’Connell returns to How Long Gone. His new book, Inspiration Porn, is out soon. We chat with him about Chris accidentally pouring candle wax all over himself at the Gabriela Hearst x Paul Smith dinner at the Chateau, Reese Witherspoon’s umbrella holder, Colbert’s final days on TV, Katy, Ariana, and Gaga, whether Will Arnett and Amy Poehler will get back together, Ryan being a closeted Dax Shepard listener, how you’d "better laugh at all his jokes if you want this Delta One ticket," a review of his book launch the night before—where Jason read one of Ryan’s sex diary entries, Gwyneth’s boyfriend breakfast bowls, Apple Martin and Romy Mars, we disagree on Olivia Dean, whether Jake Shane is today’s Truman Capote, Alex Cooper’s pregnancy press diversion, and some Ivy Wolk glazery. instagram.com/ryanoconn twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans howlonggone.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Speaker C: Hello and gone. Speaker A: A beautiful morning once again in Los Angeles. As New York floods, I'm seeing people jumping over you know, moving rivers to get home. Um, and I'm— I've never been happier. Jason, how are you? Speaker B: I, I thought there was like a 93-degree heat wave, and now there's a, there's a flood that's sweeping all the hood rats into the, into the sewer systems. Is that what's going on?
They're all, they're all living on the little island in the Hudson. Speaker A: Yeah, that's— yeah, that's what it seems like. What, what is Epstein's Island called? I just need to get this clear because this came up last night and I don't know the name of it. I thought it was Little Island. I thought that was— I thought that was what it was called, but I know Little Island is also the— that ugly thing they built in New York with Barry Diller's money. So I, I need to know what it has.
