Apologies about this week's audio. Sadly we lost one of the tracks so reverting to the camera audio was our only option. We know this is less than ideal.
Our interview with Matt McCormick is a piece of art. Matt—a bi-coastal multimedia artist—swung by our stu in his old stomping grounds to talk all black fits to honor the fallen homies, copping Tony Soprano's watch, Japanese cigs are healtheir, the artistic appeal or lack thereof of Zyns, how addiction hindered his practice, he probably served us back when he was bartending in NYC, the current state of the American male and how his masculinity has evolved over the years and influenced his work, cowboys fuck with him, the good, the bad and the ugly of the art world, Instagram changed everything, he was too much of a boomer to figure out NFTs, how he uses AI as an ethical tool, we try to get him to hate on a bunch of wack shit, westernwear stolen valor, guys who mount skate decks on their walls, when he was on the road babysitting Odd Future he was the actual troublemaker, why the tech world doesn't want to buy art, how his buddy John Mayor commissions pieces, and much more on Matt McCormick's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.

Our guest this week is here to spice up your life with his take on the American frontier. He's a dog in the studio putting horses on the canvas, whose work focusing on the iconography of the West has hit more walls than Peter Norich. As a self-taught outsider, he's flat of the system and never did things the easy way, which is why I think, uh, he's the first sculptor and painter to come on the only podcast that matters. Here to chat the biggest scammers in the art world, the state of American masculinity, and how Instagram has changed the industry, multimedia artist Matt McCormick. Matt, how are you?
