How Long Gone · Chris Black & Jason Stewart / Talkhouse

915. - Chris & Jason

March 9, 2026·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

Jason argues that Sour Diesel, a staple of New York's 90s weed scene, deserves a comeback over modern strains.

Chris feels terrible. Jason is somehow back from a brutal travel stretch feeling almost normal, and he gives the business-class lay-flat some credit without acting like it solved everything. The gym turns into medicine. Chris says he probably pushed it by stacking workouts, a show, and another workout, but the routine still feels hard to quit. Then they stop for a correction. They say being wrong matters, which is about as official as this episode gets. Instagram brings the spark. A woman in her early thirties sends a plea for male peers to understand Viagra, less as medical advice and more as dating dispatch. Jason starts trying to escape almost immediately. Chris keeps reading because the note has a strange rhythm: a UK trip, a best friend, and a Muddy Waters needle drop. The wording does plenty. Chopped, unk, loneliness epidemic, soft boys, and juicing keep piling up until the message starts to sound like a tiny manifesto from the dating trenches. The hosts do not pretend to be scandalized. They treat Viagra like famous cultural equipment, something the audience already knows about even if nobody signed up for a seminar. That is where the joke lives: a sincere plea meets two guys who refuse to make it responsible programming. The ending drifts into scheduling. Chris and Jason mention a run of powerful women guests, especially in the food world, and tease the tiny slice of listeners who might complain. It stays loose: travel recovery, gym compulsion, listener chaos, and a final wink before the sign-off.

As heard by us

Chris and Jason turn travel fatigue, gym rituals, weed, and a wild Viagra note into grimy, funny social small talk.

Chris and Jason return from travel in the usual How Long Gone mode: half check-in, half roast, with fatigue, gym guilt, weed, and on-air corrections all treated as part of the same social weather.
