Who needs prestige television like “The Crown”? During quar, our writer turned to Rob Dyrdek’s long-running viral-video show for comfort.

Chris and Jason chat with him about the recent passing of his ex-wife, sobriety, being both a musician and a music critic, the importance of our loved ones pushing us further, writing his memoir, mixtapes, streaming music, Substack, and why he loves New York.

2020 gave me the opportunity I've been yearning for to dedicate months of my time to google image search. That and watching Kes and telling people to watch Kes. Oh and I really like sports.

Ryan Hemsworth is a producer, DJ, and homeowner currently living in Canada.

Smart. Sophisticated. Simple. Stylish. Nice. Good. Our favourite shade of blue is actually the best colour to wear during this strange year

This weekend I watched Pretend It's a City, Martin Scorsese's Netflix docuseries about New York City writer Fran Lebowitz. Unfortunately, it's not great. Marty is too present, and the episodic format feels bloated. Fran, a bonafide legend, is a better interview than a documentary subject. So skip the doc, light a cig, and read her conversation with Rachel Tashjian over at GQ. It’s more fun.

One on one pod today, Chris and Jason Chat about the Parler app, signal, Elon Musk, the storming of Capitol Hill, celebrating Trump’s permanent suspension from social media, Fran Liebowitz’s Netflix doc, moving on with our lives, why nothing matters, Tiger Woods, racist pizza parlors, how much we’d hypothetically pay for a vaccination, and we celebrate a podcasting milestone.

Nick Weidenfeld is an Emmy award-winning TV producer, the cohost of the Apple Music show Time Crisis, helped bring Desus and Mero to Viceland, and a billion other things. He’s from Los Angeles but recently moved to Northern California. We chat about Ariel pink Trumping around, how we podcast, Desus and Mero, Patreon, moving to Sea Ranch, mercury poisoning, wine tasting, TJ’s positive outlook on life, and we virtually pitch How Long Gone as a TV show. (Note from TJ: Nick recorded this podcast from his bathroom while hiding from his beautiful family, so please excuse the echo, that being said this was one of my favorite conversations we've had and well worth listening to.)

Refreshed.

As the podcasting industry has grown, so has its merchandise market. And it’s not just T-shirts and totes for these fledgling “lifestyle brands.”

Mayer Hawthorne is a Grammy-nominated singer, producer, and fancy pajama-wearing friend of ours, he’s currently living in Los Angeles.

Blaze Foley’s ultra-somber banger “Clay Pigeons” played on shuffle while I compiled these images. They mostly evoke the isolation and despair of 2020 with flickers of levity and friendship around the edges. This lyric says it best: “Sing a song with a friend, change the shape that I’m in, and get back in the game and start playin’ again.”

Julia Bainbridge Is an editor, host of the podcast The Lonely Hour, and writer of Good Drinks, a book of alcohol-free recipes. We chat about our southern road trip, Chris’ inability to relax, our philosophies on substance use, the evolution of non-alcoholic drinks, the future of partying, removing the stigma around talking about loneliness, and falling in love in quarantine.

This year we are spending the week between Christmas and New Year’s on a Southern road trip. Introducing SoCal snob Them Jeans to the rolling red acres seems a good use of the lull.

The newsletter service is a software company that, by mimicking some of the functions of newsrooms, has made itself difficult to categorize.
