They discuss growing up together. Being broke and aspiring. Having ADHD. And what it was like for Allen to get everything he thought he wanted, and then watch it all get stripped away from him. How he's learned to place value outside of his artistic pursuits, and find self-worth in being of service to others. Allen and Julian get a bit emotional, so hold your heart and enjoy these best friends catching up.For EXCLUSIVE shows and unreleased material...2024-04-151h 30
How Goods This.EP. 10 - Singing For Your Supper.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...2022-05-021h 29How Goods This.EP. 9 - Gratitude is the Attitude -- w/ Mac Ayers and Teddy SwimsIt 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 importantl...2022-04-181h 21How Goods This.EP. 8 - Getting OlderThe 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...2022-04-041h 01How Goods This.EP. 7 - The Art of Who We AreFrom 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 camp...2022-03-211h 14How Goods This.EP. 6 - Nature Vs. NurtureAllens 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 bir...2022-03-071h 08How Goods This.EP. 5 - Drugs, Yachts and Lotto Tickets!Sit down with the boys as they bring you their favorite news of the week!

But they both agree that having a...2022-02-211h 13How Goods This.EP. 4 - God ComplexAllen 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.

How Goods This.EP.60 - Season FinaleThis 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.

How Goods This.EP.59 - Prove ItThe 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 t...2021-09-271h 10
How Goods This.EP.58 - This is Shocking!On this weeks episode the boys are bringing more good news to make you smile.

How Goods This.EP.57 - Shifting the VibeAfter 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...2021-09-131h 16
How Goods This.EP.56 - Augie Bello: The Boy WonderAugie 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...2021-09-061h 17

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...2021-08-231h 11

How Goods This.EP. 52 - A Re-Cycle Around the Sun!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...2021-08-091h 15
How Goods This.EP.51 - Stephanie Powers is Back!Remember Stephanie Powers from episode 25? Allen and Julian sat down with her and got to know the Lightworker herself. Stephanie is an astrologer, an entrepreneur, an explorer of the soul and a podcaster, just to name a few things. She hosts Light Workers Lounge--a podcast that explores the human experience through all of its spiritual ups and downs.

Julian was abandoned by his best pals this week, so he decided to bring her back and have her do an astrological birth...2021-08-021h 44
How Goods This.EP.50 - What If God Was One of Us?Welcome to episode 50! Unfortunately for everyone listening, our burly, bushy eye-browed, brunette--Stevie-Baby had some gnarly dental work to attend to, so he couldn't participate. But Allen and Julian made due and walked into a pretty deep conversation about their relationship with a higher power. Julian talks about receiving a random phone call from a fan who was going through it, and talking with her about being accountable for our own joy. How we are the source of our own happiness as well as our sadness. And how we MUST work to prioritize our mental health. They boys go on...2021-07-261h 17
How Goods This.EP.49 - Getting Older and More Beautiful.When the boys taped this, it was Stevie Baby's Birthday. July 14th, to be exact. So put it in your calendars and don't forget!

How things become popular and what these episodes will sound like 20 years from now. They also go on a deep dive into MMA fighting, and what it must take to get started in that profession.

How Goods This.EP.48 - Broken Bones and Controversies.The fellas are catching up across the world from each other again and they’re reminiscing on when Julian had Bells Palsy and Allen broke 10 bones in a four year span. All the lessons or lack thereof they learned from going through those experiences. And how the hell Allen is going to prevent his own child from doing the same shit. The Sha’Carri Richardson controversy is brought up and the boys share their opinions on the seemingly backwards politics behind the Olympic Games. How drugs have affected our country and what we hope we can all do to reso...2021-07-121h 33
How Goods This.EP. 47 - Do Cool Things with Cool People.Remote conversations are in full effect. The boys have a long one for you this week. They missed each other, so they decided to keep talking. We hope you don't mind. This episode features talks about; the difficulty of smiling natural for photos, how they each learned the value of a dollar from a young age, their fear of motorcycles, what the legal drinking age should be, snowboarding crashes, their unending desire to create more work together for the rest of their lives, and UFO's, now known as UAP's (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). The moral of the story is; we...2021-07-051h 42
How Goods This.EP.46 - The Hype ReturnsSo, the last couple of months the boys haven't actually been together. They backlogged a stack of episodes and put them out weekly. Did anyone know? That's why it was Allen's birthday for six episodes straight. But the boys left town and departed each other. Steve stuck around in Spokane WA, Julian went back to New York and Allen and his family went to Australia. They thought we'd be back in the attic by now, but things happened and their schedules got pushed back! Worry never though, because the boys have figured out how to keep this thing running...2021-06-2858 min
How Goods This.EP.45 - Addicted To This Sh*tThe boys just went out to dinner and they are pumped about it! But an argument is set into motion when Julian says he could care less about the meal and really only cares about the company. Allen thinks he’s lying for attention, but it opens them up to talk about their cooking styles and favorite meals to make. Who’s the kitchen king and why does Allen use so many god damn pans when he makes food? They talk about getting back on the road and playing live shows again with a new found respect for their time...2021-06-211h 23How Goods This.EP.44 - Gettin' Comfy.The boys break down the 1’s and 0’s about how quantum computers are coming to change the landscape of the human experience. Where the movie industry is going and why they have a hard time buying into the Marvel Universe. They discuss how comfortable they’ve become with speaking openly on this public platform and how sometimes that might not be such a good thing. And then they touch on the need to be admired.

How Goods This.EP. 43 - Robot LifeAllen and Julian start an argument over a robot lawnmower. Allen advocates for the convenience of today’s technology while Julian believes that it’s all seemingly becoming a “gateway drug” that we aren’t even aware of yet. There’s no winner in this argument, but it’s a fascinating conversation. If technology could do everything for you would you let it? Are we going to be more efficient as people because of what we’re developing or are we going to ultimately lose our sense of purpose because of it all? The truth is out there somewhere. But these idiots...2021-06-0755 min
How Goods This.EP.42 - Pizza Party!As a celebration of what they had no idea would be our 42nd episode, they decided to have a pizza party! Also, there's no importance to the number 42. They just really wanted some pie. Sit dow with the boys as they see if the delivery person can make it all the way up to the attic. This episode is full of nonsense and laughter.

They also try out doing live calls with fans of the show, so if you ever want the chance to...2021-05-3156 min

How Goods This.EP.40 - Let's Make a Musical.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...2021-05-171h 16
How Goods This.EP.39 - TikTok or Bust?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 in...2021-05-1058 min
How Goods This.EP.38 - Finding the RhythmOn this weeks episode the boys talk about a variety of different things.

By doing it ourselves and...2021-05-031h 20
How Goods This.EP.37 - Before But NowThis 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...2021-04-261h 21

How Goods This.EP.34 - Who Are We?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. Now the...2021-04-051h 22
How Goods This.EP.33 - The Boys Talk CovidThis 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...2021-03-291h 23
How Goods This.EP.32 - Boys Talk Effort and Chia Pets.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...2021-03-221h 16

How Goods This.EP.29 - Mac AyresWe can't tell if Mac Ayres is as serious as we are, but we think we've all just become best friends. Without even listening to his otherworldly singing voice, watching him shred the guitar or playing the keys like a god damn legend, Mac is just a spectacular guy to hang out with. Within 24 hours the connection we made as friends was something that none of us were used to. Mac dropped out of Berklee School of Music because he knew exactly what he wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it immediately following that decision. His ability to...2021-03-011h 08

How Goods This.EP.27 - Jacob HollisterAs the football season has officially come to a close, we had the privilege of sitting down with Jacob Hollister of the Seattle Seahawks to talk about his journey into the NFL. Getting drafted as a rookie to The New England Patriots in 2017 was a big deal in and of itself, but going to the Superbowl that same year was a unique experience most professional athletes don't get the privilege of having. Although they lost, they went back the second year and won it, giving him his first Superbowl ring. In 2019 he was traded to The Seattle Seahawks. Jacob...2021-02-151h 04
How Goods This.EP.26 - Tingsek is a WizardIf you like Allen's music, it's almost certain that it's because of the influence and or the literal creation of specific records you've heard the collaboration of Tingsek on. These two have worked together to create some of Allen's favorite songs and have toured the country together for many months. Tingsek has a thing about him. You can hear it in his music, but it's the most present when you get the privilege to see him live. There's something visceral about watching Tingsek play music. He takes himself on a journey as he plays, and the audience always gets...2021-02-081h 18

How Goods This.EP.24 - Teddy Swims Has Arrived.It's pretty rare for us to meet a kindred spirit like Teddy Swims. He is a star on the rise and if you don't know his name yet, you will very soon. And for good reason.

Him and Allen will be putting some new music out soon and he'll be starring in our V-AL-entine's Day special as...2021-01-251h 44How Goods This.EP.23 - Jess Carpenter Squeezes the Juice.One of the longest and most fulfilling relationships Allen has kept over the course of his life is Jess Carpenter. They both grew up in the same tiny town of Chewelah WA and became friends early on. Jess was always a kind hearted, generous and beautiful girl, so it was no surprise when she met her match in Mike Carpenter. After getting married and starting to build the life of their dreams, Mike was diagnosed with cancer. The tragedy unfolded as his sickness worsened--and after putting up an incredible fight, his life was taken. Jess looked...2021-01-181h 11
How Goods This.EP.22 - Tom Askman Vs. The Ego.Tom Askman is an award winning painter, sculptor, designer and all around artist. He's been a professor of art for over 50 years, mentoring some of the finest artists of every time period. He also happens to be Allen's neighbor. We could have talked with Tom about his illustrious art career, but instead we dove into what it means to be a human. And how to find the artist in yourself through taming the rational mind and freeing the intuitive one. If there are any episodes of this podcast that we think offer some kind of intrinsic value, it's this...2021-01-111h 32
