This week the boys are cutting loose! They've got their beverages on deck and they might be losing their minds. Diving into conversations about being more conscious of the toxic bullshit in most everything mass produced. Allen's wife, Taz has led the way in educating them on how much of what we consume is actually hurting us. Allen and Julian recount the car crash they just got in (they're fine) and share some ridiculous stories of past accidents as well. They also wonder about the people who celebrate their birthdays for a whole month and then role play off of how they receive gifts when they do. It's not their best work, but they're having a good time. Hop on the train and giggle your way on down to HappyTown with these schmucks. You know you wanna!

The boys have decided to level up. They plan to write produce and star in an original musical together. Allen and Julian have been playing with this idea for a while now and they are finally committing to pulling the trigger on it. Imagine an Allen Stone album being attached to a beautiful cinematic narrative that both dictate the arc of their inherent story in one. Julian is already working on the script and Allen is eager to get in the writing room to start putting the music together for it. Overall, this will be the biggest undertaking the boys have ever dedicated their time to. But it might just be the most valuable piece of art they ever create. We can't wait to bring you along on the journey with us.

The boys break down their relationship to social media. Why they are incapable of putting their energy into Tiktok, despite the knowing benefits it could possibly have on them and their subsequent professions? How come Cameo has become a cesspool of compromised integrity for Allen? And are they wrong for thinking all of it is seemingly vapid and mind numbing bullshit? Maybe they’re just on the edge of a generational gap where it feels like creating opportunity needs to come from the passion to do something versus the gratuitous click bait culture we all seem to be falling into. Tell us if we’re doing it all wrong or not. But if anyone wants to manage our social media presence—inquire within. We need help either way.

On this weeks episode the boys talk about a variety of different things. From their relationships with alcohol as well as the ones with sobriety to the ridiculous nature of signatures nowadays. They break down this podcast and talk about how consistency and working through the "suck phase" is all a part of the growth process. And they promise to continue through it all. They also talk about hurricanes and all the inherent similarities they have to this pandemic. Big shout out to Mac Ayers who shifted our perspective on how to create art. By doing it ourselves and not relying on external forces. We are all capable of whatever we want to accomplish. We just gotta put in the time and the effort. But having a good attitude is up there as well. Although this conversation goes through different doors, the guys seem to be finding their rhythm with this thing. What do you think?

This episode was recorded months earlier, but the context of the talk still holds up. Sit down with the boys as they challenge each other to non-sensical and irresponsible tasks. They talk a lot about the mind over matter mentality and how it's shaped them all in their professional lives, but how it's also encourage a lot of reckless behavior. They speak on their fear of approaching situations that aren't always fun, but make them better for doing so. And all the people they admire for having done it with them. This is right before the Valentines Banquet, so they're gearing up to start shooting what was quite possibly one of the funnest projects of their lives. Enjoy the laughter and humility, as well as the idiotic movement this conversation is directed by.

As the boys prepare to depart from each other for the Spring, they discuss what their plans are for while they're gone. Allen is heading off to Australia, Julian is going back home to NYC and Stevie-Baby is staying put. Allen has to endure a 2-week mandated quarantine in Oz, in a hotel room that he can't leave with his wife and two-year old. Julian has plans to move to a new spot in New York and start figuring out what his next move is. Steve gets to enjoy the beautiful new season in one of the most gorgeous places in all the land. But don't worry. The podcast can't stop, won't stop! As they all reflect on their time spent being creative all year, they all have a lot of excitement surrounding the next phase of it all. And they're breaking it down here!

The boys deep dive into some new source material this week. Julian educates the boys on the auditioning lifestyle. Allen reflects on his first set at Coachella and how Julian's father, Diego Gavilanes crowd surfed and made it into the top moments of his performance experiences. Steve and Allen recount meeting for the first time. Then they tailspin into a dialogue about dating apps and marriage. Although none of them have used a dating app before, they break down the psychology of why. With one married man (Allen), a seriously engaged one (Stevie) and a very single one (Julian), they all share a unique point of view on the relationship experience. Through all the random happenstances of their lives, they've all cultivated a "life by design." And how they interact with the world is an interesting reflection of who they are.

This conversation circles around identity. The boys talk about the benefits and invariable distraction that the internet has provided to them--as well as the upcoming generations. They also dive into paranoia and how young they were when they started doing recreational drugs. How they adapted to cliques and social norms when they were in high school and what influenced them the most during that formative period of their lives. The identities that were cultivated by the decisions they made when they were young. And how to avoid having panic attacks surrounding all of it.

This week the boys are opening up to a more serious conversation. They break down the impact affect Covid-19 has played in their lives this year. And although they have found ways to navigate and make the most of this time, a big part of it has really challenged a lot of what they're doing. But the interesting juxtaposition is that, although Covid has created a lot of challenges this year towards this new business model they have created, they wouldn't have been able to create any of it without its existence. Life is a real catch-22 ins't it? And these guys are unpacking their own thoughts on it. But not before a lot of laughter and story-time with the boys. From bad service and what constitutes a "bad review" to Julian and all the times he's been fired from bartending gigs. Allen asks Julian about how acting got him sober and they laugh as they reflect on all the bad decisions that lead up those rock bottom moments. And a special guest appearance from Julian's dad, Diego that will be sure to put a smile on your face.

Start getting used to the boys hanging out with each other because we have a lot of episodes coming your way that are filled with just them talking to each other about anything and everything. They seem to have a much more candid and uncensored approach to their conversations when it's just the three of hem. This episode dives into a ton of different subject matter, but the takeaway is "effort." How much we feel like we're willing to put into the lifestyle we want for ourselves. Or how little? Other subjects include; making friends with people on Instagram nowadays, Allen and Julian having a near death polar plunge, having hobbies and Chia Pets. The guys are cracking each other up like a bunch'a idiots, and we hope listening to them gives you some giggles as well.
