Episodes

  • you ever really knAllen drops the news that him and his wife are having their second child. He also thinks it's a ridiculous thing to publicize on a public platform. What he wants to give out to the internet and his fans alike, is what he does for a living. These things are just very personal and he doesn't want to use that kind of stuff as a leveraging chip for popularity or attention. With that being said, we'll be welcoming a new little Stone to the family this summer!


    The boys then dive into their relationship with discipline. Allen talks about his lack of it and Julian talks about his extremist approach to it. At the end of the day, their work speaks for itself and it also speaks volumes to their disciplinary mindsets, but it's a fascinating thing to try and measure.


    Allen also talks about his role on the new NBC show, "American Song Contest, airing on Monday's at 8/7c. All he can say, is that he hopes he gets to blaze with Snoop!

  • It was a privilege to have some of our favorite pals, and musical anomalies—Teddy Swims and Mac Ayers back in the studio. Hang with the boys as they dive in deep and relate a lot of their own personal experiences to each other’s. They talk about the experience of becoming “known.” What that’s done for their psyche and the way they operate nowadays. How they've adopted more anxiety and fear as soon as they got everything they thought they needed. And how they maintain their integrity in an industry that wants to commercialize everything. And most importantly, how gratitude is the attitude. Always.


    Then Allen gets on his “have kids” campaign and they talk about being younger and the important relationships they fostered and how they would want to work to ensure their kids had the same experience. They talk about love and loss and family and how they have fun, and it's overall an episode about keeping that levity in tact. None of us are ultimately that important, so let's all just enjoy the ride and keep attempting to do what makes us happy.

  • The guys discuss the idea of getting older. What they look forward to in their later years and how they hope to stay creative throughout it all. Reminding themselves to slow down and enjoy the ride while they can, because at the end of their lives, it won’t be the objects that they cultivated that will matter—but the experiences they had with all the people they loved the most. This episode puts our lives into perspective and begs the question; how do you want to remember your life when it comes to an end? We can all only hope it's filled with gratitude, love and all the incredible memories made with the most beautiful people you know.

  • From a conversation about marriage—both between their own parents and Allen’s, the boys break down love always having the capacity to exist, despite all obstacles including separations. What their boundaries (or lack thereof) have looked like in their previous relationships. And how sometimes burning a bridge might be necessary? Then the boys switch subjects and talk about the origin or art. Do all things have the potential to be recognized as art? What’s NOT art? And after diving into all the approaches to creating it—how do we manage to make it matter? Then Allen gives his campaign speech to run for Senate--(not really) in this diatribe about the war on drugs and what he believes our country needs to do in order to fix it's inherent problem. Would you vote for him? We sure hope not.

  • Allens family stuck together since the beginning. Julian’s did not. But despite growing up in very different conditions, they discuss how their connection to each other is undeniable. The boys take a journey through the philosophy of “nature vs. nurture.” They talk about how fear has played a giant part in their desire to be liked and loved. How they resist some of the simplest opportunities to grow, because they are enslaved to what they’ve been conditioned to prioritize. 

    Allen breaks down the epiphany he had on an airplane—"flying through the sky on a big tin bird and walking through the miracle of balance and nature, yet continuing to be glued to our devices." Admitting to not knowing what we’re doing and recognizing that our instincts aren’t always right. Dogs, and the different experiences Allen and Julian had at the middle school dances.

  • Sit down with the boys as they bring you their favorite news of the week! A homeless, heroine addicted, mother of three got her life back together and graduated from the University of Washington recently. Her story brings up an interesting conversation about addiction and privilege. Allen talks about being a late bloomer when it comes to drug use and Julian talks about his premature introduction into it. Julian talks about sinking his family boat growing up and Allen talks about how he would never be able to own one for himself. But they both agree that having a friend with one would be ideal. Anyone? They also talk about wealth and what they would do with it if they ever made a LOT of it. It's an interesting conversation packed with lots of laughs and fun stories that will surely make you smile. We hope you're having a great day. Luh you!

  • Allen talks about his experience singing at The Special Olympics. And how the participants of the event made his see a different expression of joy that he hadn't been privy to beforehand. One without judgement. They boys discuss the notion of "fortune," and what it means to them whether is wealth or in spirit. Allen breaks down how all things cast shadows and how we can use that to our advantage sometimes. They also deep dive into "legacy" and if its actually possible to create one solely by route of altruism. Do we all have a god complex?

  • This is the season finale, friends! The boys are taking an intentional break for a little bit of time to refocus their efforts around what they’re trying to do. This podcast wasn’t meant to become something that stuck, but it did and thanks to you, they’re keeping it going. But they want to come back with a more specific approach to it all. This is not a farewell episode. It’s a see you soon. Better than how we left you too. Thanks for supporting us and sticking with it. We love you.

  • The boys break down their relationships to dogs and the responsibility it requires that they could go with and or without. Criticism and how their friendship has reached a point where they aren’t afraid to give it to each other, despite their non-confrontational ways. Steve’s incoming CPAP machine and how f%@*ed up it is that he hasn’t slept in 28 years. Their relationships with money and the financial confidence in cultivating wealth that they have developed since the pandemic. Allen sings and beat boxes, Steve goes unconscious and Julian is wondering how much it's going to take to prove himself to himself.


    This is the second to last episode before we take our season break. But don't worry. We'll keep you satiated with fun content and come back stronger than we've ever been. Season two is going to have all sorts of fun surprises!

  • On this weeks episode the boys are bringing more good news to make you smile. From the oldest woman dead-lifter, who can more lift than we can, and is also 100 years old, to baby geniuses and somehow a fascination with Peter Dinklage's package. They also share stories of the most shocking thing they've ever witnessed. Above all else, they're laughing their asses off at each other and having a blast getting to catch up with each other. We hope you feel the same way.

  • After a year of absolute nonsense, with the exception of a few profound conversations with each other and others about anything and everything, the boys are just now realizing that they should be more specific about what this podcast is even meant to represent.


    "How Goods This" is a simple phrase that's pretty easy to understand, but until now, we haven't really uncovered "what's good?" So, as they move forward with the same non-scripted, ridiculously honest, funny but never fact-checked talks, they'll be bringing some positive news segments to the mix. Every episode will surround a couple/few pieces of "good news" whether personal or out in the world that the boys can anchor their conversations with. It'll keep them on track, give you something to rely on every week, and bring forth an approach to add more joy into your life each Monday.


    This week, Allen talks about his experience playing at The Gorge Amphitheater with Dave Matthews on Labor Day weekend. How two of Daves band mates got Covid-19 and how they pivoted like pros and pulled off an exceptional show despite it all. A girl who just earned $20k for listing a uniquely puffed Dorito on Ebay, the partnership Advanced Auto Parts made with the Denver Police, and Quentin Quarantino: an internet meme'r turned social justice warrior.


    And that's just the beginning. The boys deep dive as usual and share their own experiences through it all.

  • Augie is not your typical 22 year old kid. He is also not just another saxophone player. I think we might call him a virtuoso. He won't say that about himself, but this young man possesses the talent, work ethic and brain to take himself as far as he's willing to go. And he's got a lot of goals, so watch out! As a New York native, Augie grew up following in his grandfathers footsteps of being a professional musician. Playing since the tender age of 4 years old, he latched on to every lesson and piece of encouragement he received until he was writing his own playbook. He recently graduated from The New School and hit the ground running. He's created his own unique style of playing and released several records of his own, he's recorded for multiple artists including Teddy Swims and Austin Kolby. But most recently, he's been on the road with our favorite boy, Teddy Swims. They've been opening for The Zac Brown Band and playing arenas all over the country, stealing the hearts of everyone.


    With a little bit of time off, Augie has shared himself with us to talk about the awesome parts about being a professional musician as well as all the really difficult realities that people neglect to think about when getting into this profession. His humility and curiosity to learn more and grow are unmatched and we are so happy to introduce you to this, soon to be household name.


    Hear his music here and follow his Instagram below. you wont be disappointed.

  • Who's ready for a celebration? All the boys are back and getting settled into the old studio space. Although Jules is still in New York, Uncle Al and Stevie-Baby are reunited and it feels so good! And no longer will Steve be out of the room again. The boys have some new things coming up soon, so make sure you stay tuned.


    In this episode the boys are diving into all the subjects. From ancient Greek civilizations that were completely matriarchal and enslaving their men, to India's new ban on single use plastics. They each share their own experience with being eco-conscious. They discuss who exists in the "globally recognized" category and what makes them become a part of a universal culture like that. Julian shares the story of how he got to work with Morgan Freeman and having one of his coolest acting moments of all time. And they land on growth and how the more they accomplish the more they expect themselves to accomplish. living with this blessing and curse, these dudes are curious as to why that is. So plug in and let's all hang out! Laugh, love, and remember that life is short, so let's have fun. How Goods this?

  • After a few weeks of being gone, Allen is back with his right hand road dog, and they're diving right in! Although they're missing Stevie-Baby, the boys get into an interesting discussion about the weight of social awareness. The importance of the "give and take" in social interactions and how developing a strong personality is more valuable than any other skillset. They talk about the illusion of perception and how fascinating it is that we all can experience the same thing differently. And then they get into the necessity of belly laughing and the evolution of laughter. Is it a learned behavior or is it inherent in all of us? Don't count on these guys for the answers, but enjoy the fun banter between these besties here.

  • Styles Bentley, AKA The Sultan of Silliness, AKA Quarter Inch, AKA Chapus King AKA Brent Loya is finally here! It's been a long time coming, but Julian finally got to sit down with his best friend--the man responsible for being one of the biggest influences in these boys lives. Having grown up with Julian from elementary school to now, the two reflect on their youth and how incredible it was that they didn't wind up in jail or die. Now, a married man, and a father of three beautiful little girls, they can start to connect all the dots. From Indian Guides, to establishing the lifestyle brand, "Chapus Wu," to smuggling ounces of marijuana into Young Life camp, to exploring sex, drugs, rock and roll and taking turns humping the jets of their parents hot tubs, there's not enough bandwidth to cover a podcast long enough for these fellas to express their outlandish experience together. Overall, they realize that none of them would be who they are if it weren't for the tribe they continue to be so privileged to be a part of. And they encourage everyone to keep searching for their own. It makes all the difference in the world. And everything else is secondary.


    On top of being on of the most hilarious and creative people we know, Brent is now an advocate and activist for the global climate crisis and you can check him out at www.stylesbentley.com as well as in the links below. You'll be happy you did.

  • It’s the official year anniversary since we released our first episode! Welcome to the 52nd conversation we have somehow managed to release to the world consistently for an entire year. Thanks for being here with us! Unfortunately, (for Allen) he couldn’t make it once again. He’s traveling back from Australia after a big week of shows. He'll be back with us next week. Instead, Stevie-Baby and Julian brought their counterparts on—Laura Jawer and Stephanie Fleck. Laura tour managed for Allen a long time ago and has traveled the globe with him, slangin' merch and giving smiles! She’s also Steve’s better half. Stephanie is Julian’s platonic life-partner and roommate in NY. Also the designer and creator of a lot of Allen’s merch you see out on the road. She has her own sustainable, up-cycled, eco-conscious clothing and goods line called, "Grandmother Goods." These are best friends being best friends.


    Steph talks to us about making an effort to be less wasteful. Through her business and her lifestyle, she’s trying to set an example for all of us to follow. And if she’s been able to get Julian on board, she’s not putting up with your excuses. Follow her on instagram @grandmothergoods and if you happen to be in NYC, go pay her a visit at Artist and Fleas in Williamsburg or anywhere else she has her markets.


    Tune in and laugh along with these besties! And reach out to your friends if you haven’t done so lately. It makes a big difference. We miss you Al. See you next week.
