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? Let's get restarted in here. Jason was having some Zoom issues, but we're fucking back, baby. The computers are firing, the Zoom recorders are recording. There's a shirtless guy sweeping up the basketball court like a good Samaritan in my, in my purview. So things are looking good for me, Jason. Speaker B: That's so huge for you. Congrats. Yes. Tuesday morning. This is day 3 of podcasting in a row. I'm only mildly— it's affecting Bean more than anything.
She's, she's thrown off by this obtuse schedule. Speaker A: Sure. Pray for— well, Bean's got rest. You know, Bean's going to have the door open the rest of the week. Could be worse. Speaker B: Oh, doors open, like metaphorically speaking. Speaker A: No, no, I was meaning literally, but metaphorically we can apply that as well. Speaker A: Sure. Pray for— well, Bean's got rest.
