Last Thursday, we did our much-ballyhooed Mean Girls live show for our fifth straight sold-out crowd! Thank you all for coming through for us, time and time again. Whether you came up from Florida, Arkansas, Delaware or down from The Bronx, we really appreciate you making the journey to the far west side of Manhattan.
Eric just finished editing the audio, Johan is at work doing the video and Sheek is texting me at 8am. So, everyone is up and excited for you to watch the final product this Monday morning. Subscribe to our YouTube so you don’t miss it!
I won’t give away anyone’s Mean Girls takes, but what I can say (because there are clips out there, and because I hinted at it in last week’s newsletter) is that Is Jadakiss Italian? went over really well, and singing the Cheers theme with The LOX and Eric (and Mayo on the keys) was a very clear highlight. Styles came in too early on his line which had Kiss, Sheek and Eric dying. (I was too busy getting the song back on the rails, I had no time to die.)
“Have you ever heard this song before, bro?” — Sheek, to Styles.
If you weren’t there — shit, even if you were — here’s a slideshow from our Instagram:
I’m having a conversation today with Josh, our booker, about where we can go next! I personally feel like Philly is a good place to start.
Then again, a few years ago, Eric and I went on a speaking tour of colleges. So we emailed all of these schools from around the country, up around Boston, Chicago, DC, San Diego, LA, you know, anywhere with good programs for journalism, podcasting, multimedia studies or whatever. At a certain point, though, it became less about “what’s the best program?” and more “where is there a cool destination?” And so we worked very hard to speak in Valencia, Spain, where they have schools I think.
To that point, I think our next touring dates should be in Philadelphia and Croatia.
Josh, let’s get on it!
um…what else, what else. Mean Girls Monday, I already said that. Styles was going to do Odyssey for his next pick, but he’s gone back to the drawing board — so I have no new updates on that front. Karate Kid is on Netflix, you could watch that in the meantime. Here’s our calendar:
And that’s it! That’s all I got for you this week © Don Don aka Sheek Louch.
As always, you can also find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram, TikTok and right here, for our weekly newsletter. Hit up our Shopify shop to get some merch — we have stickers and magnets now! And we’ll see you in a couple of weeks.
Until then, here’s the form to suggest movies.
Ok, here’s what everyone sent in this week:
But of course, that’s not what everyone sent in this week. I did an Instagram post, which meant that barely anyone submitted to The Stack, womp womp.
They’ll be back. They’ll all be back. They always come back to The Stack.
Have a good week!
Show was bonkers and the New York Strip was surprisingly done very well at City Winery. That red wine was good too. I was a little bent walking back to the hotel.
