Mine's under everything and under my shirt. Hopefully Nick's okay with that. Sorry, Nick. This is an experiment. If it doesn't work, we'll just sit down and we do it. Yeah, at a table. Yeah, exactly. Put it on the way. Yeah, if Nick goes, you have a sucks. Sorry, Nick. And this is an experiment. If it doesn't work, we'll just sit down and we do it. Yeah, at a table. Yeah, exactly. Put it on the board.

Yeah, if Nick goes, you have a sucks. Sorry Nick. I have a, for some reason, I just have a personal inability to clip on the lava, like, to my, around my neck. That's funny. It's always backwards or upside down. I can never figure it out. How goofy. I went in here. There's some cool stuff sometimes. Dude, believe it or not,

I believe that was one of the first places I went to in Austin. Yeah, it used to be over by Sound Exchange over on the drag and they were next door to each other, so you'd always go get like a cheap old beer t-shirt on the record. Oh, that's cool. Back when it used to be cheap to go to a place like, you know, the nineties, you know? Yeah. For a long time. Yep. Yeah, it's been a minute. That's fucking funny.

Oh, that's cool. That's... What a small world thing. Hey, what's happening, man? We're doing good, man. How about you? Not too bad. All right.

Can I get a large cold brew, please? Yeah, man. Do you want it to go? Yeah. And then we'll get a large drip also, just black. You got it, man. What's your name? Eric. Eric. It's month three. Cool. a large drip also just black Eric cool right on awesome appreciate it killer

what a weird small world thing. Emily just texted me and said, Gavin's halo regret times thing is so funny. So it must be because she has an under, I'm just not sure what the fuck's going on there probably. That's great. That's good to hear. The blindside, the blindside small soldiers thing that we put out today is so fun.

Oh, I haven't watched it yet. It is, the editing's good and it's a funny moment. I feel like we need to take a minute to sit down somewhere and just talk about, I feel like we've had some absolute just fucking home runs lately. Like on Monday we put out the Gavin's secret room in Halo, which I think is one of the funniest videos we've made and really unique and that's just the first video

that I don't think we've really talked about anywhere. People have no idea and I think that's like, there's a very famous achievement hunter moment where, cool thanks brother, appreciate it. Gavin, we're playing, you wanna go sit outside? Yeah, there's a very famous within the achievement of the world moment in a video, a Minecraft video

where Gavin's giving a tour of his house and they find a secret room that's got all of his little trophies that he made from his victories. Yeah. And Jack makes fun of them and asking what he's got to know from his mom in there. And it gives that exact same kind of energy. That's great.

And people have been comparing it to that, which is cool. It's great. And people have been comparing it to that, which is cool. It's been good stuff. Whoa, I'm just kicking my coffee all over the place. OK. This is nice. Coming to Epoch and getting a cup of coffee. Man, it's days like January 31st, 2024, when you think why would I ever leave Austin, Texas?

It is 70 degrees and sunny and amazing. It's killer, like we're sitting in the shade. Cause it's so... Dude, I sat in the back yard with my shirt popped off again yesterday. It's the best. I've been doing, I sat in the back yard with my shirt popped off again yesterday. It's the best. I've been doing a... I've been taking like morning walks because now it's not, you know, six degrees or whatever. I'm sure it will be again soon, but like,

that's the best. I make a cup of coffee and then I walk like two, three miles, just like just kind of put around and listen to stuff and it's fucking great. It's the best. It's the best. I always get into a rhythm in the spring when I go walking a lot. Back when I used to live on the other side of town, I would walk to RT sometimes. Oh yeah. And when we lived downtown for a little while,

or when we worked downtown for a little while, I was able to walk there. Long walks, like two, three mile walks, but you just love it. And then one day you're like, oh, it went from kind of uncomfortable to I'll die. I'll die on this walk. I'll be dead in 30 minutes. And then you're like, I can't do this again until, uh, well for seven months now, you know, it sucks. I always get like really into the rhythm of it and really enjoy it and then it just gets taken away from me.

Yeah. But we'll see. An unbelievably mild winter. Yeah. So I don't know what that means for her. I was talking to my wife yesterday. Because we're right at the end of January. And she was just kind of going like, I mean it was two days where it was kind of, you know, it snowed the one and then whatever.

And then I said, yeah, do you think it's going to freeze again? And she went, I don't, I think we're, I don't want to say we're on the other side, but it feels like it's not freeze again? And she went I don't I think we're I don't want to say we're on the other side but it feels like it's not gonna It got wet I mean it rained a lot it it has typically from what I say typically the last three years that we've had a February freeze. Yeah, but I'm just not getting the vibe that it's gonna happen there's a

Wrestling show I'm going to in like the last week of February and they do them outdoors, Empire Control Room, like on seventh. And the one at the beginning of January was so fucking cold by the end of it, like more than half the crowd left, it was like brutal. And then they announced their next show and they're like, it's the last week of February.

And then it was being friends on her phones going like, all right, here you have, I'm gonna like wear some like like long underwear. We're gonna like bring hot cocoa like it's fucked. I I like that Empire control room place. I went through the first time to that clown course show. I've never been to that Then you before it's pretty cool. Oh, hey, should we say what we're doing? Yeah, sure Cuz we're a couple minutes in yeah, so it's a supplemental Or non-canon episode whatever? Yeah, sure. Because we're a couple minutes in. Yeah. So it's a supplemental or non-canon episode. Whatever. Yeah.

There's no guess. I almost said non-regulation, but I'm going to confuse my podcast. It's a different thing. It's a Gustl's podcast, which means it's just you and I fucking around. And we decided, we did our music episode last week. So we decided that we're just going to have a little morning

together. Yeah. Get coffee. Then we're going to go record shopping. Yeah. And then we're going to go grab a little slice of pizza or something for lunch. And it is just take you along, you being the audience,

along with us as we go. I'm feeling good about it. I'm excited. So we're at Epoch right now. Which we've been to before. Yes. But it's a nice little pocket of stuff. Like if I lived right here, if I lived on North Loop,

I'd be here all the time. I'd be at double trouble all the time and then there's stuff to do around there This is always you know for my little Dimwit friends or whatever it's fun when they come in from out of town and you take them to the vintage clothes store and the record shop And then the other vintage store and then the other vintage store and then the other vintage store You're definitely on vintage road. Yeah. Yeah If you ever I know we talk about this a lot and I always mentioned that like in the other vintage store. You're definitely on vintage road here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you ever, I know we talk about this a lot

and I always mention that like, what doesn't have like an old Austin vibe, at least my old Austin from the 90s. And North Loop has it in Spain. I was driving through the neighborhoods just, I guess north of North Loop the other day, just on the other side of the road here, 51st, or I guess North Loop the other day, just on the other side of the road here, 51st, or

I guess North Loop. And it's like driving into 1998 again. Like none of the houses have changed. It's what my old neighborhood kind of looked like when I first moved here. It's got the same vibe. It's still like more dilapidated than McMansion, which I love. It's real nice. I mean, it's nice and a lot of it's walkable.

And it'll all be two story mansions in three years. Enjoy it now. I think every city has little pockets like this though, like where you can find the little things to do. I think a lot of it from where I grew up turned into from like nightlife, went to daytime stuff, which I thought was very strange. There's an area called North Park

and that's the place where we drank all the time in my 20s. And it was just bars, bar, bar, bar, bar, bar, bar, and you just get. It was like a long street of bars? I mean, it was like a tea bar. Kind of like a bourbon street type environment? But no, because it was all dive bars and punk shows.

Oh, okay. It's dive bars and punk shows. It was like music and all that stuff. And then it slowly turned into all the bars started moving out, restaurants started moving in, and it started just becoming daytime stuff. And so now, this is probably like a few years ago, I went back and visited, and I'm like, yeah, so what do you guys want to do? I got to drink it in North Park,

and they went, where do you want to go drink it in North Park? And I went, oh, oh, I see, I understand. That's when you realized you'd gone too long. Yeah, there was a bar called Bar Pink that we would go to all the time because they had two dollar ticates, and then there would always be like a punk show playing

or whatever, and it was the guy from Rocket from the Crip, John Rhys, that was his bar, and then it got sold, like a punk show playing or whatever and it was the guy from Rocket from the Crip, John Reese, that was his bar and then it got sold and now it's some yeah we have vinyl and you can listen to records here and it's like oh and and also it's kind of a speak easy and I'm like oh I don't like any of this this all sucks ass. I was reading the other day well they've been talking about this forever but I guess they're actually making progress. They're trying to do a similar thing to Dirty Six in Austin.

I've heard about this. Yeah, they're trying to make it more like a family-oriented destination and so like they've made, they fired opening salvos years ago. They brought in a restaurant called Osollila Luna which moved from South Congress. I don't think it's still around. But they tried a few things to try to turn over. Putting the movie theater there, they was an attempt and then of course now

that's the mother ship, the comedy, the Joe Rogan comedy thing. But apparently some company, I was reading about this on Reddit today actually, some company bought up a bunch of the properties and then they've created their own private security force that runs off all the drug dealers and like for half and homeless people unhoused people and stuff and so I guess

They're like draconian tactics are working though and apparently it's like I mean it's super cleaned up and Apparently the Austin Alliance has done a lot of like trash pickup and supposedly I haven't been downtown in forever Yeah, and I wouldn't if I did go down that it wouldn't be to 36, but apparently it's not so dirty anymore It's I mean I think you could kind of see it coming the way that they have east six now Where it starts sort of like that shangri-la like little like that bar and then sort of all the way down to those from shangri-la Out of the grackle is the run Yeah bar and then sort of all the way down to like the grackle. Goes from Shangri-La out of the grackle is the run, yeah. And that's where you can start drinking and then end drinking and you get kicked out of

the grackle like I did. And then so you have that area and then on West 6 they have everything like kung fu and all that other parlor in the yard and all that shit. And it feels like it's trying its best to strangle that sort of dirty six from like either side. There was a period of about, I wanna say like six or seven really good years when E6 was, I would say at its prime. And you would drink, you would go bar crawl there,

but you would do it based solely on the order you wanted to eat the different E-side team trailers. So this is like mid 2000s when that was kind of at the height. Food trailers were kind of at the height. It was before the Paul Keith flame out when he was kind of a big deal in Austin still. And you would go to Shangri-La first, which by the way, Emily lived at Shangri-La. She hung out there, her boyfriend worked there. Before I knew her, she was there seven days a week.

So I probably ran into Emily a million times, we're probably in the same bar as Emily a million times and never knew it. But they had a Nisai King in the back that had these like bun sandwiches. You would go and you'd start there and then you'd work your way down and then you would eventually end up in Liberty and at Liberty they had the veggie meshi which was this, and the chicken karage which you would get which was, the veggie meshi was just like these Brussels sprouts dude. They were fucking insane and then the chicken karage which you would get which was the veggie mess you was just like these Brussels sprouts dude They were fucking insane and then the chicken karage you would eat It need just be getting hammered and eating that stuff and yet that would so be up a little bit

And then you'd end up at the grackle and the one outside the grackle they had these ramen bowls Oh cool that had fried pork shoulder And it was nice or not fried but just pork shoulder And it was like and you would just get drunker and fuller yeah as the night went on And then probably end up with a parasite for meeting in a trailer. Uh-huh, yeah, it was good stuff. How's the day? Those were the days.

Yeah, and you still have that. There's still the food trucks and all that stuff. It's just everything. It's all different. Yeah, it's all just changed over. It's all just different. Yeah, just different signs. There's a spot that we drove by that

I was gonna point out we were talking about other stuff the where you know flight path and What's the fucking the biscuits and groovy truck or whatever? That place is overpriced. Yes, it is across the street from that is like the little gas station Uh-huh and then next to that is a trailer and it's called feral pizza And it's a new spot and I've heard really good things about it. Oh really? Feral Pizza. Feral Pizza. Okay.

It's a logo that's like a feral cat. Maybe, is it open? I don't know. You want to try that maybe? If it's open, maybe we'll get it out. I'll go look it up. Instead of a little deli. Yeah.

Because I haven't been there and it seems like a spot that would be... Well, it's hard. I mean, a name like Feral Pizza, you know, it's probably pretty awesome. Yeah. Oh, don't worry. They opened it three. There's a classic pizza time. Classic pizza time. There's a lot of attitude to naming a place Farrell.

Yeah. They have pizzas like the nervous breakdown. D. Elaine. Kevin. Nothing of Kevin, please. Hi, two Kevins. You get two Kevins and an ankle biter. What did you want to be when you grew up? Nothing Kevin please hi two Kevin's get two Kevin's in an ankle bider

What did you want to be when you grew up? Do you remember like when you were a kid the first thing you ever wanted to be? No And sure it was something that was just you know fireman. Yeah, not whatever, but I've known that I wanted to work in Broadcast like media since I was like 15. See like a young Howard Stern. Yeah. Since you were a kid you were in there. I just figured I'd be working in news because when I was 15 there wasn't any of this.

So you weren't attracted to the news portion of it. No. You were just attracted to the idea of broadcasting. I love the live, I love the live broadcast aspect and I love, I found out the thing that I really love is producing, is putting other people's ideas, helping them put them together and then execute and then, so that's the thing that I wanted to be

most of my life and then I've just been doing it since then. I gotta say, it's clear, I mean, clearly you were made to do it because you're so good at it. Thank you. That's why I only, I don't know if you know this, but I will only work with you in the company. Oh, I appreciate that.

Yeah, that's, which to the annoyance of a couple of other people that I found out recently. But I just love, I just, I love, you're the best producer I've ever worked with. Thank you. Easily, hands down, and that's not a slight to anybody else, but it's just become so, it's so hard to find somebody you have a really good creative working relationship with, right? And there's a good give and take and an ebb and flow and that you kind of are aligned and see eye to eye.

And it's, I think that's one of the things that's so great about the other podcast we do the face podcast is we have a group of five people that are all pointed in the same direction that are all creatively aligned. But it's just so rare. There's a lot of people that I've worked really well with. I think you can work really well with most people

in the world, but there are very few times when you meet somebody and you go, oh, this is just such a perfect fit, right I've worked really well with. I think you can work really well with most people in the world, but there are very few times when you meet somebody and you go, oh, this is just such a perfect fit, right? I think we have that. At least I hope so. At least I'm my end. That's a long way around to go to say that I have never understood what the joy of producing could be

until a couple of years ago. I was a creator, joy of producing could be until a couple of years ago. I was a creator producer of my entire career. I never really thought about it and never really paid too much attention to the producer side. I was always more focused on the creator portion of it. But when I finally produced something, which was the survived Block Island show

that Trevor created and that Will Deloni directed so deftly. It was the first time I ever produced anything that I didn't participate in as talent. And oh my God, it's fun, I get it. That was a very verbose way of just saying, dude, I get it. It was in some ways, and I couldn't believe that I was even feeling it, but it was in some ways

the most rewarding experience I've had. Yeah. Helping other people realize and their vision, but also like helping them avoid mistakes and red tape or work through creative problems and issues. And it's so much, it was such a fun puzzle. Yeah, it is. You know? Yeah.

The way that I look at it is I'm trying my best to be a coach that can keep the player focused on what they need to do. So that way when they go up to the plate, they hit a home run. And they don't have to worry about, oh, this person said that and this happened and what about this thing and how are we getting,

and you like to be able to put all of the pieces together so somebody can just walk in and sit down and do this thing and do it well and then like execute is like, that's my favorite. Dude, I get it. Helping someone hit a home run as it turns out is maybe even more fun than hitting a home run yourself. Dude, I get it. Helping someone hit a homerun, as it turns out, is maybe even more fun than hitting a homerun yourself. Yeah, yeah.

It's, I think it's really cool. You want to run into this record store, see what we can find? Yeah, let's do it. I think it's open. Let's go see what's up. This past two-shell. I should probably take my phone and my keys. What?

What are you doing? Ha ha ha. Hang on, sorry. Doing social media. There we go, wait. That's cool. I found out recently. I've been a big fan of the.5 ones. Ha ha ha.

Let me dump this real quick because they're going to want me to take it in there. I was talking about this not too long ago with Mom. The reason I asked you, well, the reason I asked you was because I was interested, but my Mom reminded me that the first thing I ever wanted to be in my life, and I was pretty passionate about it, I guess, when I was younger, was I wanted to be a rodeo clown. Really? Which I guess I kind of became. You've been to? Yeah. In some ways.

Yeah, really. You've been to a lot of rodeos? I don't know if I've ever been to a rodeo. I've been to so many rodeos. Dude. I've been to, what is this? Psych Fest? Oh, Courtney Barnett.

I love Courtney Barnett. Chicano Batman. This is, what is this, Austin Psych Fest? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they have it over here. Austin is like I don't know. I was gonna say quietly probably not quietly quietly to me Austin. It's like a fucking psych hub Yeah, it really is this school. It's never been my scene, but Yeah, I think a corny Barnett would be the only person I want to see on that list great I don't like them anymore.

Whoa! This is a... When was the last time you went to a record store? Uh, Sunday? Oh, I haven't... You go pretty often, then. No, I don't... I don't go that often. That just happened to be the last time. See, I don't really buy anything that's like,

I don't buy stuff like this size. That just ain't my speed. Yeah. But the sole section, I do wanna see if we've done anything good. Oh, there's a punk sale. Hang on, let me check those Belize and Gospel section. Frenzel Rome, the kids, DRI.

I'm gonna go ahead and get a little bit of a break. Blues and gospel. You from San Diego, you probably love reggae. I was listening to Sublime on the way in. I don't know that that's real reggae,

but yeah, I listen to, I usually put on scoff on Sunday mornings, make breakfast and coffee and stuff. Yeah, love it. The Gladiators 1983 Nighthawkey Pee. Don't be fooled by the colors, that's everything. I know, I know, I know. The Gladiators. The Perry.

I think. Jesus lizard, pale head. This isn't new. These are new. Oh, these are new arrivals. Yeah. These are new arrivals. PJ Harvey.

So what happened to PJ Harvey? I don't know. Probably still around and we just don't know. That's true. Probably huge. Yeah, exactly. What's the meaning of this spot? Breakaway records?

That's right. So we made it. Yeah, we should mention we walked over from Exactly. What's the meaning of this spot? Breakaway records? That's right. So we maybe should mention we walked over from... So we're in breakaway records and we're just kind of rifling through now and seeing if there's anything that's... I've been wanting to get into like doom metal and black metal a little bit more.

Even hanging on a front dog. Just because of, you know, I listen, I get so much of it through Osmosis. The Osmosis would be in friends of those dudes. This is cool. What is that? KEXP presents mud honey on top of the space needle. Oh, that's cool.

Yeah, but what year is it from? 2014? I mean, it's nice. They lead with Touch Me I'm Sick, so that's nice of them to do. I like mud honey. I don't love Mudhoney, but like. Yeah, they're a sound of a time to me. Oh, Steely Dan, Katie Lydde.

I'm not a big Joe Walsh fan, but that's a cool album cover. Yeah, yeah. Like him underwater at a little table with a lot of stuff. Seriously, folks? Does that have a Life's Been Good? Over and over tomorrow, secondhand store, inner tube. Now it's got, yeah, Life's Been Good.

Yeah, Life's Been Good, yeah, it does. That song is awesome and it's really long. This is so much fun. Yeah, it's great. I wonder if this makes for any kind of interesting content. Probably not, but it's something to do. The Who, Meady, Beady, Big and Bouncy. I don't get The Who. I never do. They're so full of themselves.

Marshall Tucker band. A lot of Cat Stevens. I've been listening to a lot of Cat Stevens lately. Oh yeah? Yeah, he, my favorite movie is Harold and Maude. Oh, okay. I don't watch it much, but I think about it a lot. And so, I listen to that soundtrack.

I just remember ice cube being that I don't remember these other people look at this sick look at this Oh, wow, that's a really cool. I just remember Ice Cube being the number one for these other people. Look at this, this is sick. Look at this, uh... Oh wow, that's really cool. I'm gonna take a picture. That's fucking cool. Music by John Carpenter featuring guitar by Steve Vai.

Uh, there was a... Buckethead did guitar... There was a, uh, thing, I think with Vanity Fair that went up yesterday that was Kurt Russell talking about his classic characters or whatever. And I love, I fucking love Kurt Russell. But he was talking about working with John Carpenter and everything and he was just saying like he can like see the whole vision for everything because he's like doing the music for it too and like all this stuff and I'm like, oh that's so fucking cool.

I think that's so cool. I still think John Carpenter's like the coolest dude. Especially, I mean I always loved him but finding out that all he wants to do is watch basketball and play video games. He's I think is so awesome. I just wanna live next door and hang out. He doesn't care at all.

I think that rocks. I don't either. I think that's awesome. We go look at the, I wanna see if this reminds you of something. Yeah, let's go. Oh this is at the, I wanna see if this reminds you. Yeah, let's do it. I was just going to have a listening station. It's so funny, I'm always immediately drawn

to the punk and hardcore sections because it's of my life, but nine times out of ten there, I'm not buying anything from this fucking. No, it's fucking UK grime, great.

Let's leave it at that.

Uh, I've got very thick facial hair. I never got sensitive skin. So using cheap razors inevitably leads to irritation or nicks. And it's just, I don't know, I'd rather be doing many other things than shaving when I use a cheap razor, but that's why you gotta meet Henson Shaving. Henson Shaving is a family owned aerospace parts manufacturer that has made parts for the ISS and Mars Rover and now they're bringing precision engineering to your shaving experience. Razor blades are like diving boards.

The longer the board, the more wobble. The more wobble, the more nicks, cuts, and scrapes. A bad shave isn't a blade problem, it's an extension problem. So by using aerospace grade CNC machines, Henson makes metal razors that extend just .0013 inches, which is less than the thickness of a human hair. That means a secure, stable blade with a vibration-free shave. And it gets better. The razor has built-in channels to evacuate hair and cream, which makes clogging virtually impossible. Seriously, Henson shaving wants the best razor, not the best razor,

not the best razor business. That means no plastic, no subscriptions, and no proprietary blades, and no planned obsolescence. Henson razor works with standard dual edge blades to give you that old school shave with the benefits of new school tech. Once you own a Henson razor, it's only about three to five dollars per year to replace the blades. It really is a fantastic shave. It's so smooth, so great. It really does a good job with both my sensitive skin and my really coarse beard hair. And on top of that, it's super affordable. I mean, we're talking three to five dollars a year to replace the blades once you're all set up. So it's time to say no to subscriptions and yes to a razor that'll last

your lifetime. Visit hensinshaving.com.anma to pick the razor for you. Use code ANMA. You'll get two years worth of blades for free with your razor. Just make sure you add them to your cart. That's 100 free blades when you hit the H-E-N-S-O-N-S-H-A-V-I-N-G.com slash ANMA and use code ANMA. Subterranean jungle, I like. Oh, dude. You are talking to a... I don't have a bad word to say about Ramones. Oh, I love the Ramones. So my friend- Everybody has their favorite Ramones album. I'm passionate about mine.

When we talked about my friend's band and whatever, they had a, they play with Markey all the time. Markey has a band, yeah, Markey has a band, and they raise their knights all open for him all the time. He's the only one left alive. Dude, leave homes a great album. Leave homes good, I like it. I think, into the century is, I think, the best album. I, yeah.

I, uh, I love road to ruin. But the problem with this is that I have to put this on when my wife's not home because she just goes like, I can't listen to this. And I'm like, why? This is so good. Rocket to Russia is so fucking good. Millie and I don't, you know, we have

converging and diverging music here. Yes, yeah. But the Ramones is one where we always seem to like, if we ever are in the car and we're like Sometimes it'll come on and it's just like it's where we I don't know really Meet sync up. Yeah, sometimes this Minuteman politics of time. That's cool fucking classic Pettibone Riverboat gamblers. I see them play a bunch. Yeah, they're a like Denton, I think. Yeah, I was going to a lot of shows at the time when they kind of got their start

and they were playing at Austin like every weekend for a while there. They were just very fucking loud. You ever think that you'd see a $31 seven seconds? No. No. Oh fuck. At NBC album's fucking awesome.

This one rocks too. Dude, you one rocks too. Dude, you know they lived in Austin for a while. They were in Austin Band. They didn't stay in Austin Band, but they were for a while. Dude. I have this on vinyl, still. Me first and the Gimmie Gimmies, Tony went to LA and saw, and they're still fucking kicking, man.

Dude, when I was, back when I was doing my punk scenes and stuff, way before all this, I did an interview with The Swingin' Utters in New York City at the Coney Island High, and Spike was, he'd become a new member of the Swingin' Utters. And it was right when me first was getting huge, and I was such a fan of that dude, and I got to sit and talk to him for like two hours. Such a cool guy.

That's cool. Yeah, he's really, really cool. John Rhys plays with them, oh, hang on. I have all the, ooh, I don't have. You drive like J-Hope? Yeah, I's really, really cool. John Rhys plays with them. Oh, hang on. I have all the, ooh, I don't have- You drive like Jehu? Yeah, I don't have Yank Crime. I have these Hot Snakes albums.

One of my biggest regrets was when they did, Jehu did a reunion show at the San Diego, like Oregon Pavilion. It was a free show and it was outdoors or whatever, and I wasn't in town, I was like traveling for something, and I didn't get a go, and I think about it all the time, and it really bums me out. Bums me out. Yeah, bums me out.

And now, hot, I mean, hot snakes and J-Hoo are done, Rick Froberg died. Concerts that I didn't get to go to are some of my regrets that stick with me. Which is funny, because I don't regret a lot of stuff in it. That shit is just way up there. Lightning Bolt L7. Dude, L7.

That's cool. Definitely have a time. Yeah. I don't know why, as I hold this on my hand, the fucking Donnas, who are a very medium band than me, and no longer a band, but they have been coming up in my life over and over and over again for the last three weeks. It's really getting annoying. The fact that I just put my hands down and it was two Dona's albums.

If you're gonna listen to one Dona's album, listen to Spends the Night. And that's, I think that's like their album and it should have been, like they should have taken off because you're right, they're a pretty medium band, but I think that they were fun to watch and they were like so radio. And it was the right time for them.

They also, the drummer from the Donnas was in a Target commercial with Bunny Carlos from Cheap Trick. And it's like, what the fuck? It's so weird, I don't know what it is, but the universe is trying to tell me to pay attention to the Donnas. They were in, I think this is where it started.

They were the prom band at that, on that Jawbreaker movie and watch first all right. Yep. Crazy. Yeah. That's so funny. This is a criminally underrated album. The King Kaila, we checked all American last album

and it was different than the other stuff a little bit, but it was so fucking good. Ooh. Oh, that's a great album. I might grab this one. I mean, dude, it's 28 bucks and it's not mixed up. Can I tell you, can I tell you a crazy fucking story?

Yeah. Ooh, this one's good. Can I say? So a couple of years ago, when we were still doing like more, when we were heavier in the lifestyle brand, when things were a little, when things were humming, you know, a pre-pandemic world. Yeah.

And I was doing a lot of like the Jeff brand stuff. Yeah. And things were kind of hotter back then. Yeah. We had an opportunity to work with off kind of hotter back then. Yeah. We had an opportunity to work with Off, kind of. Really? They were trying to get a movie made or funded. Oh yeah.

And they were looking for funding for this movie called Watermelon. I read the script, it's fucking awesome. And we brainstormed some ideas of doing some merch collabs with them because I, that's cool. Because I'm a big fan of Keith Morris. Yep. And so, found out through a friend of a friend, new Dimitri Coates, the guy who is the bassist

for, um, for Off. Hold on just a second, let me make sure he is the bassist and not the guitarist. I feel embarrassing. Dimitri Coates is a guitar. Okay, sorry. Let me re-cut, take that to me. Had an opportunity, somebody reached out, or new knew Dimitri Coates, who's the guitarist, for Off, and he was in some other bands

before that that were pretty big. And he invited me out to his house in LA, up in the hills somewhere. He lives in this mid-century modern Neutra masterpiece. And he... That's so cool. He and one of the guys from the Merck's department and I went up and we sat by his pool in the hills

and he told me stories about being an off and about working with Keith Morris. That's so fucking cool. And just how fucking brilliant and insane and wild Keith Morris is. And he talked our ears off for like four minutes. He talked our ears off for like four hours. Probably the best four hours of my life.

I left there just like numb. Like I left there like numb from joy. That's so good. And we just never did anything with them? It's just never worked out. I was trying to work out some sort of a deal between them and us and Gunpowder and Sky. It's never actually, never came to anything,

but I was always ready and they were gonna do some, they were gonna release some special merch with us and we had like, and then we were gonna try to use the merch to help fund the movie. And it was like a, it was close and then it just fell apart. But I felt a genuine like sense of like camaraderie and like kinship with Dimitri.

I mean, being able to do that's fucking crazy. I would love to reconnect with him someday, but I just don't want to, I don't know. I thought it was more than just a transactional thing. I get it. I totally get it. I don't know that that ever happened, but he was just a really cool guy.

He told me a cool story that he got invited to a party at Dave Grohl's house one time. And so he went, like, this is fucking crazy. I'm some punk rock dude going at Dave Grohl's house one time. And so he went, like, this is fucking crazy. I'm some punk rock dude going to Dave Grohl's house. He said when he walked into Dave Grohl's house, his entryway, Dave Grohl had the first four off EPs framed in his hallway. And Dave Grohl showed him to him,

it's like, this is how big of a fan of you I am. I can't imagine what that's like. That's fucking awesome. Isn't that crazy? That's so cool. Anyway, I'm gonna grab Wasted Years. I really like this album a lot. And then also Rock for Light, which I don't imagine what that's like. That's fucking awesome. Isn't that crazy? That's so cool. Anyway, I'm going to grab Wasted Years. That's great. I really like this album a lot.

And then also Rock for Light, which I don't have. I just started listening to Rock for Light recently. I like the word, but it's good. I think my favorite Bad Brings album is Black Dots, which is a sort of like a live recorded thing or whatever. But I really like Rock for Light. I have a friend who, my, my mechanic, Barbara Massuse, he only does his massage stuff.

The name of his massage thing is Touch for Light. And it's, I just thought that was cool. I'm gonna, on a whim, I'm gonna pick up this Angry Simons inside of my brain album, because I love it. And they're not very online. Limited Red Vinyl, that's cool. I don't really care about that, but it's a great album.

Yeah. See what happens when you come over to the punk section? Yeah. You red vinyl. That's cool. I don't really care about that, but it's a great album. Yeah. See what happens when you come over to the punk section? Yeah. You knew what you were gonna find. You knew what you were gonna find. Yeah, there's always one more album I need. Yeah.

So it always goes. This, where did it go? This Hot Snakes. I have the Hot Snakes stuff, the J-Hoo stuff, whatever. John Rees has this solo album called Ride the Wild Night. It's under his swami name. I really like it But it's my problem with like a lot of this stuff is that none of it's mixed for vinyl

And so like buying vinyl for like a lot of stuff that is just like meant for your headphones is not my speed But they but these are this off album and it's bad brings album are definitely I think we got it Hey, yeah think we got it. Hey, check it out, we're Donis. They're fucking everywhere lately. And they broke up in like 2014 or something. Yes, yeah. I read about them, but it's just weird that they come up daily right now for me. I think you just gotta check out Spend the Night.

Spend the Night. Yeah, let me go listen to the game. It was fun. Guided by voices. I remember contemporary stuff that isn't gonna be I remember Howard starting shitting all over him once really yeah that's fucking awesome before we go anything in the metal section oh that you want to check out I maybe some like Pagan altar would be cool. Ooh, this car's album's good. Devo.

Dude, you want it? Inex, I wish this guy didn't kill himself sucking his own dick or whatever the fuck is. Inexcess is a joke now, but man. Oh my god, dude. This album? When kick came out, I was in the sixth grade, seventh grade, and it was like, they were so fucking cool. Everybody in my school had a skateboard the next day

because of that fucking album cover, and they were like, oh my god. It's just like, I just wish they didn't, you know, end the way they did, I guess. Yeah, yeah, for sure. New sensation was such a fucking. Oh, it's incredible, right? Huge hit. Super tramp, for sure. New sensation was such a fucking... Oh, it's incredible, right? Huge hit.

Super tramp rod steward. All right, let's see what they got in the... Okay, I'm down next to see... Goucho? Let me see. What we got here? The biggest impediment to me with metal is I just can't read the fucking band names.

Yeah, that's... I never know what it is. Gotta get Burn Dog, bro. I know, I read the fucking band name. Yeah, I never know what it is. You gotta get burned dog, bro. I know. I got to ask Bernie for help. Yeah. Like what does this say? Like what does this say? Peck a chick a check? Yeah. Pitch a pellet's chicky? Yeah. Is that even a P-P-E pecker pecker lord? Yeah, you're doing great. Yeah, it's impossible. I can't buy that because I don't know what it is. Paul Bearer. I already have this, but.

Earthbreakers? No, the heartbreakers. Johnny Thunders from, dude, this is so, I just, I already have it, but fuck the LAMF is so, this is so, I just, I already have it, but fuck, the L.A.M.F. is so, this is great. There's so many good songs on that. Well, the $3 section. Mm-hmm.

Get a, get some stuff you never wanna listen to. I'm Jay-Li Lewis. Tom Jones. Bosgags. The fucking Talbot Brothers. Burt Baccarat. Fog Hat. Bert Backerick. Fog hat, love Fog hat.

Oh yeah. Yeah, this is for other people. All right, I think we're good. Yeah. All right. All right, let's go buy these. Too many albums. I told myself I was gonna buy three in mine six.

Yeah. Oh, nice, doubling up, huh? Yeah. Way to go. You guys ready to go? Yeah. Yeah. All right, let'll do it.

Yeah. All right, let's buggy. Good stuff. Dude, that was fun. I can't do that often. Yeah, no. No. I don't have any self-control in an environment like that.

I'm very excited to listen to these. The Rock for Light album is the original mix that they remastered and I think that's so fucking cool. All right, let's go get a slice of pizza. Yeah, I'm hungry. Hopefully we're still recording. I'm sure we are. When I set up my new house, I'm not that there is a new house

or that I even have a prospect on a new house. Just keep it rolling, don't matter. Make sure it was. Location. Yeah. Someday when I buy a new house and I get to start from scratch, yeah. I am going to design the entire house with music in mind.

Oh, that's cool. That's a good idea. Yeah. And I want to have speakers throughout the house. And I want to have a really good, dedicated vinyl section where I can, with like a really nice turntable. And, because I just have like a fucking- Just audio technique or whatever.

Yeah, exactly. I have a, not cheap, but like it's okay. Yeah. And I don't really understand my setup. I don't have a fancy setup. You go in there and you see like floor long, like five foot tall speakers and fucking receivers with giant knobs and shit.

And it looks very 1980s again. It's all very overwhelming. And I really, I really wanna focus on that. Cause that's what I seem to enjoy the most in my life. Yeah. We getting a slice of pizza? Yeah, you want to do a little deli? Yeah.

Let's do that. Let's do a little deli. Hell yeah. Been a little deli in a minute. I wish there was a coffee shop up there that we would be a reason for us to do a proper episode. I'm pumped on these records. This is great.

Yeah, that's awesome. I hope that it's working and recording and compelling in any way because yeah, it was fun to do. Yeah, it was a nice little mid-morning thing. If you hate this, sorry. If you like this, alright. There you go. A little deli is going to be up around the left somewhere, huh? Probably past. Let's see. Too many text messages from one group chain about the Padres. Oh. 50 minutes, or 50 minutes, 50 days from, I think spring training started, or baseball started.

It's very soon. Little deli. Are you excited? Yeah, I can't wait. Do you think the Padres are gonna be better this year? Yeah, a lot better. Addition by Subtraction or? Yeah, a lot better. Addition by subtraction or? Yeah, probably.

Who did they pick up in the? They didn't pick up fucking anybody. I think it's, I think they lost a lot of people, but I think that once Otage has never did anything for me. Like personally, he's not a guy that I get excited about and I understand that his numbers and analytics say different, but I think that this being a taquise machado thing is going to be a lot stronger than having more people in it.

So we'll see. Too many chefs. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, a little deli's on the left. Haven't been here in a minute. I feel like the Dodgers are probably pretty good this year. Oh yeah, you think so? Yeah? No way, you think so? Yeah?

No way. Huh? Yeah, really? You know who won't? My fucking White Sox. Dude, I might. I've been a White Sox fan since Robin Ventura and Ozzie Guillen and Frank Thomas when I was in, I don't know,

probably fifth or sixth grade or something. Right. I've been rolling with the White Sox through the ups and the downs, but it has been really fucking hard the last couple years. And if I'm gonna pick, if I'm gonna be a fan of a American League bottom-feeder fucking dog shit team, why not just pick the Tigers?

Yep, yep. They're all the time anyway. So I'm gonna see, I'm considering transferring allegiances to the Tigers. I don't know. I don't know how it works being a Tiger and a White Sox fan. I don't know that that's possible. I don't know. I don't know how it works being a tiger and a white socks fan I don't know that that's possible. I don't know. I don't know that it is either, but you're gonna give it a shot But yeah, I just like I don't know especially if I end up in Michigan someday It would be yeah, I can go to they basically will pay you to go to a Tigers game

Yeah for now. Yeah until they're at least halfway decent again in the next, you know, 10 years or whatever Yeah, until they're at least halfway decent again in the next, you know, 10 years or whatever That seems like a cool field it seems like a great dude We I got to go watch a Show hey play there. Mm-hmm the summer. It was so fucking cool that rocks It was so fucking cool I'm gonna be so fucking sick of Watching show hey-oh Tony plug Not thrilled well at least you're not gonna have to watch him pitch

That's great. I think we should throw Adam He's just D.H. in for the yes, yeah whole yeah, yeah, cuz he had a Tommy John. Yeah, he had Thomas John surgery is that Tommy John? Yeah, he had Thomas John surgery. Is that, that's Tommy John surgery. Cause I've heard it, I've heard it basically said that like every picture is gonna need it eventually. Yes, like the way everyone's throwing now, yeah. So why don't you just knock it out in like fucking, first year of college? Because it's not about putting something in or whatever.

It's why there's so many people at Style Switch. Dude, people love barbecue. What the fuck? It's like packed here. Style Switch is more popular than it is good. Style Switch is okay. It's fine. Taking my dad there, he loved it. And it's because you know you don't have barbecue and then he goes, wow this is great. Like that kind of thing. It's a great spot. Yeah. I've always sounded the barbecue there to be a little greasy. Yeah it is. It definitely is. So Tommy John is like putting a tendon in,

like replacing a tendon, and that's all it is. You can, there are guys that have gotten it two or three times and still are pitching. So like, it's not about like, yeah, get it done early. It's about this thing's worn out, you need another one. Okay, so you just, got it. So you just, you pitch till you can't. Yeah, pretty much.

Change tires. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like that I think I See yeah, there are guys in the league that have had it like twice. Oof. Yeah, is it painful to recover from? I mean, I can't imagine it's easy, but when you're pitching I think it's even worse like Bryce Harper just had it But Bryce Harper could just go out in DH within like six eight months or whatever and he was fine He's not throwing. I just found out that the puppy is gonna need at six to eight months. Tommy John?

Is gonna need Tommy John. Oh no, his fastball. He's not Tommy John, he's gonna need to fucking this surgery that they give, they have to give, you know, dogs that have been bred into fucking. Oblivion? Yeah.liqueer, yeah. Like our dog, unfortunately. He's basically gotta have his like,

I guess it's essentially like dog deviated septum surgery. But he's gotta go in and have his nose holes fixed or they'll collapse, the lady said, the doctor said, and he's gotta have his like, I guess it's a thing. Henry never had these surgeries, nor were they recommended. So I don't know if it means that this dog

is more fucked up or Just a different was he had the time you have like a wake apnea Yeah, he has like a wake apnea and then he has to have his palate I guess their palates are too long and so they can actually go in and shave the back of his throat Open up his throat a little bit and allow him to breathe and eat better Jesus So when he's six to eight months old,'re gonna have to have this fucking. Oh my god. It is a Is fucking CPAP surgery Jesus? I hooked up my dog to the CPAP machine

It just sucks I'm sure I'm sure it's gonna be very expensive. Oh absolutely They don't do dog surgery for chief. No they don't. Now when Aero, when Aero started to go at the end, which started to have her seizures and I had to take her to the vet and they they weren't sure if they could save her. Yeah. They weren't quite sure what was wrong with her and I was so desperate, so desperate to help her. Yeah. It was like one weekend I spent nine grand. Oh yeah yeah, and then she died two weeks later. Oh Jeff oh my god, I was just like here's my retirement money just help this

And they were like and they were like we'll do everything we can that's brutal fucking mark We got him we got him And then she died. Fuck. Fuck. $9,000 in funeral. All right, now we're at Little Deli, we're gonna go get pizza.

All right, let's go get some pizza. So the wine shop. That used to be a little, yeah. It was like, that was a cool little social hangout. Violet Crown kind of thing, yeah. It's still the Violet Crown now. It's a coffee shop and wine bar. Oh shit. We should okay Well, it's a coffee. Okay, there you go. Maybe that's where our next yeah, that'll be nice That's awesome

Oh, I'll let you out here One thing I love about little belly much bags Here. Janice there. One thing I love about little Belly, much of the bags they have the old school salad bowls from the 80s, the wooden ones. What are you getting? There's a couple slices of pizza. On which you? Pepperoni, garlic, tomato, that sounds good.

That's what they got. Man, I air fried bacon for the first time in my life last night. How did I do that? How did I do that? Good. Probably the best bacon I've ever had. Yeah.

I couldn't believe it. I make a lot of bacon. I promise I'll put on being good at making bacon. That's weird. I definitely don't make a lot of bacon. You don't? Oh, God, dude. I make bacon at least once a week, every week of my life.

What? Really? Is that not a lot or is that a lot? That's a lot. Yeah, a lot of them. I probably made bacon the last time in October. Bacon is its own food group in Alabama. I was growing up.

Wow. Bacon is its own food group in Alabama. I was growing up. Wow. It's not always eating or eating once a year. Is that a good thing? Anyway, on the rare occasion that you make bacon, give an air fryer a try. And I feel like there's something

that we should grab around. It was also cool, because all the bacon fat drained to the bottom of my air fryer. And then what I was making was broccoli. And I thought, wouldn't it be fun? Oh, that's a good idea. Crumble up some bacon and put it on top of it. But what I didn't anticipate, which really helped, it was like, I thought wouldn't it be fun. Oh, that's a good idea. Crumble up some bacon and put on top of it. But what I didn't anticipate, which really helped,

it was like I cut a bunch of garlic and onions. Yeah. Put it all in there with the broccoli. But then I cooked the bacon first. So then when I put the, when I went to put the broccoli in, it cooked in all the bacon fat. Yeah. Made it even better.

Smart. I do that with chicken thighs in the oven with vegetables like potatoes and stuff. You just toss it all together and then let it cook on one tray and the fat just goes everywhere. It's great. Potatoes are the one area where I would say my marriage can improve. Really? Yeah Emily's just not into potatoes. I don't understand what that I don't how. She doesn't like the consistency of a potato chili no french fry Certain french fries, but like she thinks mashed potatoes are the worst

That's she I'm gonna tell my wife that and she's gonna fight your wife. I know trust me man It's like you would think it would be good cuz it's like oh cool I'll just eat all the mashed potatoes in the relationship. What it really means is there just aren't a lot of mashed potatoes But what it really means is there just aren't a lot of mashed potatoes. Haha. Haha. Haha. It's pretty funny. Can I just get two of the slices of the day and a soda?

Make it, just double all that. I got it. Thanks, sir. Yeah. Uh, for here. Oh, do Eric? Cool. Thanks, brother.

Appreciate it. That coke, huh? What are you gonna drink? Right here. It's not diet. Does that matter? Does that matter? Sure, the vestibule.

She's hanging out in the vestibule. Or is this, is it full of wasps or not yet? How do we sit over there now, shit? Nah, now we're good. This is good. Did I gotta come over here more often? I'm completely ignorant of this whole new coffee shop thing. I didn't know that was a coffee shop now. We definitely want to go there. Well, we got our little deli pizza. This slice is fucking awesome. Yes, the daily special. So it's pepperoni, roasted garlic, which is...

of which there's plenty and they're gorgeous. They're so much. And then these little like, Roma tomatoes. Mm-hmm. So good. Half of the pizza we ordered, but. We definitely ordered more, but here we are. Also didn't get a receipt,

so we probably just didn't put it in right. Or we're eating somebody else's pizza. I asked if it was Eric's six times. Yeah. Dude. Oh my god, those tomatoes are so good. Mm-hmm. Fuck, this is hot. Woo, what a nice little morning in Austin.

I've never had an issue with tomatoes in my life. I've always enjoyed them in pizza and ketchup and spaghetti and stuff, but I feel like as I've gotten as I've matured I really learned to appreciate the tomato on its own There's less of an ingredient more of the mean more of a star in its own right well you learn that you can Salt and pepper it and everything and it tastes like food

Whoo, hot. Whoo. Goddamn. I know I swear. I would never eat on camera again But here we are well, sorry. Nick will cut this out. Yeah, Nick cut all this out. Nick cut all this out. It was so good though, Nick. I wish you were here. Mm-hmm. Goddamn. Mm. That's a juicy pizza.

Big time. That's something usually described a pizza as, but... I don't know why I don't come to Little Deliware. I guess it's just like a little headachey to like get to. But they open one like right down the street from the office. I was about to say, there is one pretty close to you. I've never been there though. Been there a bunch of times.

Is it good? Yeah, it's great, same thing. Yeah, it's this. I like this one because it's like, and the reason that it's kind of a pain in the ass to get here is it is in the middle of a neighborhood. It's not close to any major streets really. It is a little neighborhood pizza place.

Next to a little neighborhood directly, fresh plus. Now if you do go to the new one, I think you will be shocked with like, it's like so like modern inside and like a little like restaurant. But the food's so fucking good. restaurant, but the food's so fucking good. I wish my goal in life was to someday live somewhere where I can walk to something like this. Oh, when I lived in Golden Hill in San Diego we would

walk up to Luigi's Pizza, that place was killer, and then go across the street to Turf, Turf Supper club, or you could cook your own steak and it was just like the darkest like little bar. And it was such a great like little neighborhood thing. Luigi's pizza in San Diego, I really recommend. It's fucking great. When we hung out with Kojima from Metal Gear, we took them there during Comic-Con one year.

He loved it. He thought it was so cool. The Mega 64 Kojima connection is so funny to me. Kojima rocks. I wonder what, he should put y'all in them, or them in a game. Yeah, I agree. The Death Stranding 3, rockin' it.

Might as well. So what do you think of our Austin morning? Dude, I've had a blast. Are you kidding? Like, I tricked the company, like I tricked the company into thinking this is work. You and I, we go to a record shop, we get some coffee, we go get a pizza and we're quote unquote filming.

This is an experiment too, because we're just so, if you guys don't know, we're wearing like these lav mics that actually borrowed from Jared from Dog Bark. And we just had them on and recording, as soon as you take them out of like the little package, they're on and they're recording. And you take them out of like the little package They're on and they're recording and you plug them back into like the little package And there's like USB-C in the back and you just pull all the audio off of it. That's so cool

There's no cards. It's all just on like these mics So if it sounds kind of weird sorry But this is probably the law way longer than like a regular supplemental thing Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how long it ends up being... And sorry if it's not very cohesive. Or good. Yeah. We're just testing something out.

We tried something. Yeah, we're trying something new. Uh-huh. And if it sucks, then now we know. Yeah, I think it's important to note that if it sucks, it's only because Gus abandons us and we have to get creative. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So if it's not good and you're mad about it, be mad at Gus.

And if you like it, no credit to Gus. This is all us. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. We have to come over here and have this coffee. Uh-huh. Yeah, we'll be back here very soon. Mm-hmm. This is probably our first episode back.

Yeah. I do wish this little shop in center had one more thing, you know? It's so close to being so good, but it's too functional instead of like, the hangout thing. Yeah. This is... if it was just this and then there was like a pub right there I would

assume this is what it's like to be in Milwaukee. Dude I'm at Milwaukee's awesome. Never been. I always wanted to go. Would love to go slice each. Yeah, me too. Because I could eat another one. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each.

I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only got one slice each. I'm glad we only pizza a 10. This is a perfect slice of pizza. This is so, for a slice, I'll say, I'm glad we only got one slice each. Yeah, me too. Because I could eat another one, I wouldn't feel good. Yeah, it,

I wouldn't feel good, and I wouldn't feel good about throwing the remainder away, because it's so good. I wouldn't feel good, and I wouldn't feel good about myself, unfortunately. One turns out to have been the right choice, because it was a pretty big pizza. But man, as a pepperoni pizza, it would have been a 10.

As a pepperoni and garlic pizza would have been a 10. The tomato. And as a pepperoni and tomato pizza would have been a 10. Just like all together, holy shit. Holy shit. Sitting outside on like a nice day too, it rocks. Little Deli is a great name for this place because it does, it's fucking small. They also have great sandwiches and great salad. Like everything at Little Deli is good. They have cookies and desserts too.

It really is a fantastic spot. See the thing about biking in Austin is I wanna do it, but I don't trust any of these fucking drivers to not annihilate me. I've already been fucking creamed on a bike once, dude. Have you really? I got run over. Did you run, I don't know that story. It was like right before my 21st birthday,

I was riding to class. I had to borrow my truck, had blown a head gasket, and I had to borrow a bike from my vegan stoner roommate who took in and repaired bikes at our house and he's like, oh, you can borrow this one. And I rode to class and a car, like a truck, like at a stop sign, I went in front of him and he just went and he just ran me over

and I just kept, I just remember riding the bike and going, no, no, no, no, no. They ran me over, so I have like a fucked up ankle from it. So like, that sucks. I can understand your trepidation. So like, it's not like I'm afraid to do it. It's that so I have like a fucked up ankle from it. Oh dude, that sucks. I can understand your trepidation. So like, it's not like I'm afraid to do it. It's that if I have a choice, I'm not gonna fucking do it.

Well, I've never been hit on a bike and I'm a lunatic on a bike. I fully recognize that I am responsible as a bike rider. But also, the one thing I'll say that's nice about Austin is, like those guys right there, we were looking out where they were riding through, they're, on the end of the block is a bike lane that's protected, and it goes for miles.

And I'll say, you know, I do my 24 mile bike ride every, as often as I can, I haven't been doing it lately because of the weather, but I'm only on a road for about a, maybe fifth of it. Really? Yeah, most of it is to get to trails, and then I'm on a trail and I'm fine. Like I'm the vast majority of it,

I'm on a protected trail or a protected bike lane. I'm very rarely in danger of other cars. Interesting. Yeah, I've got a route figured out, but it's like, it definitely helps, because I'm the same way. Emily is terrified I'm gonna get hit by, she's ridden bikes with definitely helps because it's I'm the same way Emily is terrified I'm gonna get hit by she's ridden bikes with me so she doesn't I'm an idiot and so she's terrified

I'm gonna get hit by a car ride with my eyes closed or something so to help mitigate her fears. I stay off roads and it's Possible you have like an off-road bike. I mean, I know it's like an e-bike thing or whatever, but it's just is like huh It's a hybrid so it can handle I'm not going like I'm not going on trails and shit but it can handle like gravel paths and stuff. Okay. So yeah like a lot of like there's a there's a hiking bike trail around the the river mm-hmm that's about 10 miles and there's a trail called Shull Creek that connects into it and so yeah. Fuck maybe I'll check it out. Yeah I think I got an

extra e-bike too if you're willing to. Yeah okay oh I'm definitely gonna go riding it may be fun to sell. Okay I think I'll check it out. Yeah, I think I got an extra e-bike too if you're willing to go. Yeah, okay, oh, I'm definitely gonna go riding. I think it'd be fun to sell. Okay, I think that'll do it for this episode of ANMA, whatever this was. Dude, maybe the next time we do one of these, we'll do it on e-bikes. I think that's a fucking cool idea. That's a great idea, right?

Eight weeks, find out if we remember that. Ha ha ha Podcast, r slash Animal Podcast and anarchy me anything dot com and you can see stuff from this episode and more.
