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? Another day in paradise, Jason. The sun is reflecting off the snow. I'm so sick of this bullshit. I can't even begin to express it in words. Speaker B: Fuck snow, fuck ice. Speaker A: Yeah, literally. But, you know, there's, there's a lot going on. There's a lot going on in the world. Some things more important than others. I know that you've already kind of pre-bought tickets to see the Melania documentary.
And yeah, these libs, these libs really can't stop dunking on her, posting the screenshots of the unsold seats in the, in the, in the theater. And it's reminded me of, of the issue we have with touring. You know what I mean? It's the same kind of thing. So I just— no one is safe from not selling tickets is what— even the First Lady of the United States. Speaker B: You're not telling me that Melania is in the Kia Asylum. Speaker A: I think Melania is 100% a resident of the Kia Asylum.
