Still Cool Right

“This is the gayest straight podcast I’ve ever heard,” said Mark Anastasios, our good friend, and guest on the latest episode of #StillCoolRight. He’s funny. He’s smart. He’s creative. He is a bourgeoning global beauty icon. Join us as we spend multiple cocktails catching up, talking makeup during a pandemic, boss memes, and reminiscing about short shorts and mustachioed men of the ’80s.

Joshua Zimmerman is the coolest. Front man of the excellent band The Silent Comedy, Director & Cinematographer, mountain man, lover of animated princesses, and DIY home improvement champ. We can’t say enough about how much fun it was to catch up with Joshua in his Catskills, NY mountain home and reminisce about the halcyon days of the San Diego music scene, his journey from musician to Director, and the funniest #StillCoolCrush we’ve ever heard.

The beginning of this podcast is like no other we've ever done. Sara shared a video with us that still haunts our dreams. She is also a really rad person. We shared a One Drink Minimum recently, her sipping peanut butter whiskey from quarantine in Nashville. It is crazy to think that Nashville was hit with a tornado right as stay-at-home efforts were rolling out. Sara was there. We talk about what life is like in the city now, our favorite music, and the best fucking quarantine dating strategy we've seen. The formula = drunk friends, Squarespace, subversion of dating apps, GO! Here is a snippet. Apply today #StillCoolFriends!

PART 2: THE CHRONICLES OF PETE Pete is a Silverlake’s mustachio’d vigilante of yoga, core strength, Minnesota t-shirts, Instagram fishing videos, and vinyl records. He’s one good looking man to boot. This conversation was so much fun that we had to split it into two parts. He’s funny AF. The kind of conversationalist that transforms an “I’ll meet you for one drink,” to waking up on your couch with an empty tub of hummus and a sore stomach from laughing so much – then he goes and goes and teaches a Core class while you wallow in your own chickpea shame. We love Pete. You should love Pete. Don’t believe us (not a good practice generally), just give the pod a listen and hanging out with us for awhile.

Sometimes fate brings us together. Sometimes Christian Slater does. Yes, one of our best #StillCoolFriends, Chico Spears, through a yearning to watch the un-streamable Pump up the Volume, found us through a serendipitous Google search. He's been fans of ours ever since. Even more importantly, we've been big ass fans of his. Chico joins us on a very special episode of #StillCoolRight. One Drink Minimum is a series of podcasts with our friends who are all sheltering from the COVID-19 storm. Just because we can't drink and yap shit about the changing face of society and culture in person doesn't mean we can't do it via the Information Superhighway!

Two months. Two episodes. Two dudes fucking crushing things! Yes, we don't release on a schedule Yes, our format constantly changes. Yes, Gavin has not had a drink during the entire month of February. All of these things are true. We are not podcast role models. In fact, the opposite. But just as you loved seeing your drunk uncle during the holidays, we are here to say embarrassing shit and stick our dicks in the mashed potatoes. ON THIS EPISODE: - Two 40-year olds review TikTok - Sabin Lomac of Cousins Maine Lobster and Shark Tank on the guest mic! - Still Cool Music featuring Monkey Wrench www.instagram.com/monkeywrench_band Let's be friends: stillcoolright.com instagram.com/stillcoolright twitter.com/stillcoolright IF YOU READ DOWN HERE AND COMMENT ON THE POD, WE'LL SHOUT YOU OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE!

If there was a textbook written for how to podcast, we would not be the authors. If there was a motivational seminar for how to podcast, we would not be the presenters. In fact, it is AMAZING that you stick around with us as we ever so casually call you every few months for friend-on-friend podcastual liason. This episode was recorded in November and then sat on for a couple months while we celebrated holidays and avoided the gym. Fattening ourselves up for a frigid Northeast Los Angeles winter. Well, the wait is over. Here we are. At your doorstep naked and unafraid. Please let us in. It's cold. ON THIS EPISODE: - We've been traveling and seeing friends like @ChicoSpears - Kona's Coffee Coast and off-grid living - Getting drunk with The Blowfish (no Hootie) - An AMAZING text diatribe Gavin went on at a Modern English concert - Babies on a plane - Yes I drive a Subaru Outback, no I'm not a lesbian - Still Cool Music featuring Lunch Lady https://www.instagram.com/lunchladymusic Let's be friends: stillcoolright.com instagram.com/stillcoolright twitter.com/stillcoolright IF YOU READ DOWN HERE AND COMMENT ON THE POD, WE'LL SHOUT YOU OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE!

Hi, JRS here. Gavin is out of town in France being a douche bag on Instagram. In his absence, I have decided to release this podcast in record speed! It's Father's Day today and my family took me out for tacos and beer. The tacos weren't that good so mostly I just drank beer. It was very tasty. I may want another one soon, but first it is important to thank Sabin Lomac for booking an appearance on our podcast and then canceling the week of this recording. Secondly, we'd like to thank Jason Rose for laughing silently in the background of the podcast and drinking while we made fun of you. Thirdly, it is important to thank our #StillCoolFriends for spending an hour or so listening to us two dumbasses rant about the things that make us laugh and question our coolness in the world. Much love to the homies of the pod! On this, a very special episode of Still Cool Right: - JRS says goodbye to Philadelphia's famed music venue The Trocadero - Gavin talks about how he'll be a douche on Instagram in France - NYPD launches a new "Rap Unit" - iTunes is shutting down - Gavin somehow is good at Gen Z slang - The sharing economy lowers our expectations - Reality Bites is 25 years old! - Still Cool Music features FEWS Stay Still Cool Friends! XO// JRS/Gavin

There’s nothing better than waking up with the smell of a new pod in the air! To our community of Still Cool Righties we give you the late-Spring episode of STILL COOL RIGHT! Fresh off the big win at Sundance, we bring it back home to the Gender Neutral Cave to tempt you with such glorious and high-brow topics as: Herpes detection in the Coachella Valley! Cameron Crow looking for the T in his EGOT Nicolas Cage losing his mind, but this time to a Prince soundtrack! Also, a surprisingly uninformative conversation about truck nuts. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!!! We also have an interview with DTLA strong and Cast Iron King™ GERREN KELSAW. Shea gets “the Nod” (and a tote) bag on Record Store Day in Still Cool Music John-Ryan tells a boring story and Gavin drops our first ever “C-Bomb” courtesy of Jaden Smith. All that AND we read some listener reviews then make several references to drug-addicted crustaceans. So, a family show. Please enjoy responsibly. With love, G+JRS

A little known fact about Gavin Allen and John-Ryan Shea is that we kicked off our friendship at the Sundance Film Festival WAAAAYY back in the year of 2003 at the little known NoDance Film Festival off-shoot. It's where we conceived of our first independent film showcase Brew & View (before we were threatened by some fuckheads in Chicago and were forced to change the name to The Visual UndergroundI). Sundance is foundational to our friendship and that is why it is so amazing to have had the opportunity to come back together in Park City for the last episode of a three-year-long season 1 of Still Cool Right. A huge thanks to Sundance TV and VERB for hosting us and for all the wonderful people who joined a massively drunken after-pod-rty! On this, a very special pod, we talk about the Dick Run Claire, the return of cassettes, the rise of Digi-Sexualism, a Lost Boys TV reboot, and cap it all off with a 97-year-old death metal singer on #StillCoolMusic. This shit is off-the-pod ya'll! Stay Still Cool, Friends XO // JRS & Gav

READ THE BLOG AND GET APPLE AND GOOGLE LINKS: http://www.stillcoolright.com/pod10 We couldn't decide what to do for this, our 10th episode of Still Cool Right. It's been three years of blood, sweat, and beers to get to this most notable of milestones. Clip show? No, too much work. Book Jeff Spicoli to book Van Halen for our birthday? No, he's gone on to become a serious actor. There is a ton of pressure when it comes to the number ten. Pearl Jam's breakout album. Perfect scores in gymnastics. One less than Spinal Tap's amplifiers go. All of these are tens. Does this podcast stand shoulder-to-shoulder with these giants? Absolutely not. Well, unless you prefer origins of icon hip hop samples, long conversations about superheroes' dicks and two guys in their 40's waxing poetic about when they were cool. On this, a very special episode of Still Cool Right, we saddle up the barstools, cheers our organic cocktails (blame Gavin), and deliver one of our funniest podcasts of all time. Season 1 is a wrap! WHAT'S IN THE POD? Where did the Beastie Boys get the "stick my dick in the mashed potatoes" sample? Still Cool Right's definitive guide to Vice's definitive guide to superheroes' dicks. Tipsy tips for how to avoid pissing off your bartender. A new study pinpoints the age we stop seeking new music. Still Cool Music - The Casbah is turning the dirty thirty! Stay Still Cool, Friends XO // JRS & Gav

Yes, we've branched out of the cozy confines of Soundcloud to go big time. Don't fret, you knew us when. On the pod, JRS opens up about his guiding feelings for the year and Gavin mocks him for it. Gavin gets a new barbeque for Christmas and invites JRS over for some DIY assembly and whiskey drinking time. In addition, we take a moment to talk about luxury butt-plugs while Gavin's Amazon Alexa attempts to buy some weed. As always we sip cocktails and get more animated as we go. You can hear the tin of our custom Still Cool Right mugs clinking the whole time in the key of saucy. Our #StillCoolMusic of the pod features new tracks from the band The Tracks out of our new home in Northeast Los Angeles.

Fresh off the 5-month endeavor that was the Still Cool Right: Pump up the Volume review, we bring you the long-anticipated Episode 5 of #StillCoolRight! Join John-Ryan and Gavin and they wax poetic on subjects ranging from the undeniable idiocy of 90’s fashion (JNCO Jeans, Hypercolor, Looney Tunes) to when it’s appropriate to yell at people for breaking the social contract (answer: always), and we wrap up with #StillCoolMusic you should be listing to in order to STAY COOL . We sip cocktails as we dive into the deep end of the adulting pool; sharing thoughts, reminiscing on crushes, telling embarrassing stories, and admiring a wall of 70’s centerfolds. To paraphrase They Live: Obey, Conform, Stay Cool. Podcast & Blog: bit.ly/stillcool Twitter: bit.ly/23kvFzp Instagram: bit.ly/23rXUbO Soundcloud: bit.ly/1RKNCQg Snapchat: stillcoolright

"Is there life after high school?" One of our favorite films asks the hard questions! Pump up the Volume, released in 1989, starts a peak Christian Slater, has hot 90's girls, and the best fucking soundtrack of all time.
