We speak with Jacob Bannon, singer of Converge, a hardcore band that Chris and Jason have been fans of for years. Their new record, Love Is Not Enough, is out this week. We disagree about just about everything for the first 30 minutes, and then chat about The New Yorker's Joe Rogan piece, Kid Rock's Super Bowl performance, fanaticism and music streaming, Bandcamp percentages, 90s web design, Manscaped ads, how to fit four bands on one tour bus, sleeping in a Uhaul and eating canned corn for a month and the mentality that gives you later in life, and how he manages his physical media. instagram.com/converge 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. All right. How long gone? It is— Speaker C: All right. Speaker A: All right. It's Tuesday, February 10th. It's 11:45 AM here on the East Coast in moneymaking Manhattan where the temperature's have mercifully, uh, risen to double-digit numbers. It felt on the walk to the gym today when it was 25, it felt like I was in fucking Miami shirtless, um, which is a nice trick to, you know, you play on yourself.

It's a gift, really. Speaker B: We take what we can get, Chris. Speaker A: We take what we can get. Um, we take what we can get. Speaker B: So happy for you. Speaker A: Thank you. Thank you. Speaker B: We're up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Did you have a good— what, what, what day was it at the gym for you? What part of your body did you focus on? Speaker A: Today was a lower. We did some back squats, some RDLs, Bulgarian split squats, leg press, lunges, calf raises, and then some reverse crunch finishers.
