This is a Rooster Teeth production. Okay, we're back, Canon episode. You're in search sound effect of like a Canon shooting here. Is that what we're doing? I got it. Oh, that's cute. It's a cute little Canon. Forty two episodes in and we're just going to get,

we do canons now. Anyway, we're back and boom. Okay, and there's no coffee shop from last time. The only thing that you really missed, I think, is we did some non-canon stuff, some Q&A stuff with me and Jeff. And then we also did a little bit of a tiny town talk with myself, Jeff and Emily. That was a lot of fun. It was. It was very good. So go back and listen to those fun stuff. We talked about a state sales a lot. I actually got this good. I got a criticism.

I got compliments from Bernie Burns on that episode. And my number one fan Bernie Burns? Yeah, like on Sunday he texted me about the podcast and I was like, that means he got you for first. It's really weird when he got that anmo tattoo. I was like, man, I mean, I get it. You don Yeah. I hope he's paying. It's really weird when he got that animal tattoo. Is that it? I was like, man, I mean, I get it.

You don't even know what it stands for. Yeah, that's like a tour. That's a big commitment. So there's a lot we could talk about right in this spot. But can I get something out of the way? Yeah. I was alluding to it. Good morning, Gus.

All right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to say, I'm sorry in advance for two things. One, we teased a potential three things. My face, I'm sorry about that for almost 48 years now. Two, we teased maybe a special episode with a guest a couple weeks ago. That's not happening, obviously today. It's still potential.

I think the reason it's not happening is my fault. I was supposed to reach out to somebody and I didn't. I'm not going to say yes definitively. I feel like we all we all could have made something happen. Yeah. We'll have it happen. We will make it happen. So I'm not going to I'm you know what? I'm going to be benevolent and I'm not going to hammer. Well, I appreciate that because I was on vacation and then I just I was invocation mode and I just forgot. I completely. It's all good. We can do that at any point. I think we can get with this person. It'll be a lot of fun.

I am, and then I just wanna preface this, as I told you guys, I didn't exactly tell you why. I'm at about 35% today. You look, you look terrible. You're moving it. I fucked up. You're like low energy. Yeah, you were, you were shit fucked up.

You're talking all weird. You were sculpting your seat in the car. I've never seen someone sit like that in a car. Here's a combination of what's going on. First off, I have jet like I don't know why I did everything properly coming home You in West West, but I know I know But like yeah, I went to bed last night at nine at 10 o'clock exhausted Can't sleep past three or four in the morning and I'm waking up shot out of a camera. There's no going back to sleep I'm up. That's what like 10 a.m. And Italy. Yeah, seven hour time change. Yeah, I was in Italy for 12 10 11 days And so it's that there's that I'm I'm very tired

There's also I didn't get a lot of sleep in Italy because the Celtics because the playoffs are going on And so I had to get up at two in the morning every day to watch NBA So from two to four. I didn't sleep and I'd go back to bed Then I was on a tour where they wake you up at 6 a.m. every day to get down to the bus because it's like a, they're moving from like Lake Como all the way down to Rome and everything in between. Yeah. Then is there a toilet on the bus? Yeah, yeah. I would have like bathroom anxiety. Like I was going to piss my pants on the bus. No, and they take, I mean, I was on the, I was maybe the youngest person on the, oh, so they definitely have to have a couple of years.

So like, it was like us and the octogenarians. So yeah, the prostate crew. They stopped a lot, prostate crew stopped a lot. So I was already tired, didn't get a lot of sleep. The coffee in Italy is not the coffee in America. I haven't had a nice coffee in two weeks, so I'm very excited about this one. Yeah, Americano's, though.

I get Americano's, which they call dirty sock water there, and they look down and you for ordering it. So yeah, they like, they like do not appreciate it. You have to order certain coffee at a certain time of day. Like you can't have a cappuccino pass a certain hour or it's weird, they don't like it, it's so weird. I actually, I didn't like it. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yes. Exactly. Hey, Gus, yes. Is there some history there? It'll be phenomenal. But about halfway through my ear got congested, like I needed to pop it or something, and it's been that way the whole time.

And I've been, so I'm like my equal. It was like one year? Just this year, and I've been putting like, I did cancelling to try to pull wax out. I did, I've been using like a ear wax removal treatment every day, and I had to schedule a appointment with my doctor on Thursday because it's just not going away. And I don't know if like an Italian spider called into my ear

and is living there or what? What? It's driving me nuts. It was at wall. Then I got home, I'm getting close to the wedding and so it's in the fall and I wanted, I don't want to be a disgusting piece of shit. So I determined I'm gonna run every day

from the day I got home until the wedding So I determined I'm gonna run every day from the day I got home until the wedding to get in shape. How far every day? A 30 minutes, just 30 minutes. I haven't run. How far do you run in 30 minutes, can I ask? I don't have no idea. Is that gonna tread middle or like so?

No, just around the neighborhood. Just stop at 30 minutes. So yeah, I wanted to get in shape. And I wanted to like, you know, slim up a little bit for the wedding. So I look good from my bride. And I wanted to like, you know, slim up a little bit for the wedding. So I look good for my bride. And I haven't run since the Army. Okay.

So since I was about 23, which about 25 years, holy shit is my body on fire. So you haven't run since the Clinton administration. Yeah, so I got home. That's literally I haven't run since the Clinton administration. I got home, I woke up at five in the morning the first Sunday morning, because we got home Saturday. I was, I was like, I guess I should go run because I can't fucking sleep. So I ran 30 minutes, I came home, I woke up at five in the morning, the first Sunday morning, because we got home Saturday. I was like, I guess I should go run

because I can't fucking sleep. So I ran 30 minutes, I came home. We had bad weather and a giant tree branch fell on my front yard, and I was like, I gotta clean this up. I don't wanna pay somebody to do it. So I got out my axe and I spent two hours at fucking six in the morning chopping up a tree in my front yard.

So by Sunday night, my entire body was screaming. Woke up this morning at 5 a.m. and fucking went running again. And I hobbled home and just fell into the bathtub and laid in the bathtub for an hour. I feel like I'm going to die. I don't understand why you're running when you could be riding your bike.

A thing that you've done successfully previously. I feel like I need more exercise. I feel like the, just like how hard it's been to run. You were so trim when you were riding your bike all the time. I'll get back to that. Are you riding and running or just running right now? I'll run and ride for sure, once my body acclimates from the run. You were so successful with the bike riding thing.

I'll get back to it. I'll get back to it, but it's, you know, to get, I don't know, an hour or 45 minutes worth of running, you get a ride a bike, like two to an half hours. But I have to tell them I'm running. That's how long you were riding ride a bike like two to an half hours. I have a lot of money. I have a lot of money. That's all you were riding for. Yeah, but it's hard to fit that into a day. Okay.

I stopped riding my bike, not because I don't want to ride anymore. It's an efficiency thing. But I just can't carve out the tone. Okay, I see. That makes a lot of sense. The way you're talking about it, my body's falling apart is like stop doing what you're doing. You should have liked here.

It would have made you here. Yeah. Well, I got other stuff to do after that. Oh, I gotta go do some ADR at RT and then go, I gotta go pick out like wedding plates and shit today. What are we? I have no fucking idea where we are. We're, we went to, so Brew and Brew is a place on San

Marcus and what is this fifth? Yeah, fifth in San Marcus. Uh, uh, and now we're in between a hop dotty and Stau Stau Stau Stau this is the gentrification capital of Austin. I feel like we're not in Austin. I'll tell you where we are if it helps. And if you visit in Austin more than three years, four years ago, we are where you stood in line

to get your badge for Southby. This is where the fader fort was right here. This is the giant empty dirt lot where you would queue up and stand. On the other side is the metal scrap yard. We went to Wright Brothers Brewing Brew, which used to be a place called Progress Coffee, which went away and now they're back on 35. Oh yeah, their coffee cup says, didn't this used to be progress? called Progress Coffee, which went away. And now they're back on 35. Oh yeah, their coffee cup says,

didn't this used to be Progress? That's funny. Progress Coffee's now back, as everyone's sharing would. But, so you that? Like Emily and I used to eat, to come to Wright Brothers a lot back in the day. Oh really? And we're right next to the hotpot place,

or the Korean barbecue place we ate at. The, you, is it Gukaku? Gukaku? Right next to there. And yeah, the Korean barbecue place we ate at. The view is a gyo kaku. Gyo kaku? Yeah, yeah. We're right next to there. And yeah, oh, and you know where else we are, Bernie? Or I'm Gus. I'm so out of it.

What the hell's going on? Do you know where else we are, Gus? We were just trying to look at me. Where are we? Where are we? We're right next to tell me where a big-cock media was, where you and I used to moonlight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is that built with stuff over there? Yeah, okay. It's connected to the rest of the roof. I think I moonlight. Is that built with the top over there? Yeah, okay. It's connected to the top. Is that where it's built off? I think we told that story too early and we did a bunch of work and we never got paid. That's awesome. We also looked at renting that building for our tea, but it was weird. We looked at the second floor there, which is about the same level as I-35, because I-35

was elevated there. And there was a weird resonance that happened between The interstate and that building where everything just kind of shook and vibrated at the non-stop because of all the cars and everything I'm glad that After the plane stuff didn't work out for them the right brothers pivoted It's just for you to move over to copy. Brumber is good. It's been around for probably eight nine years Maybe a little longer. I like it a lot.

I'll go sometimes. And I think I named Alex said, like, oh, man, Eric. Well, cool. Because you can do anime here. And I said, yeah, eventually. And then now we are. So Alex, you missed us. They, they had beer.

One of the beers on tap was legalized big doinks. Which if I was a, if I was still a drinker, I'd, I'd be, I'd be wanting to legalize big drinks. We've done 40 something episodes of this podcast. That was the first time that we've ordered coffee. We got a hot coffee, just a regular drip coffee, cold brew, and an Americano. The guy looked at me and went three versions of the same drink. Yeah. I got it. the same drink. Yeah, and I went, yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like lately, I don't know for how long, maybe like the last year, year and a half, I've been really out of playing video games. I got really having been on top of it. It's really been like sparse with the video games I've been playing.

And Advanced Wars reboot one plus two, whatever they called it, finally came out for the switch. It had been delayed like over a year, came out a couple of weeks ago. So like this past weekend, I finally bought it. I got a Game Boy Advance game. Dude, that's where I'm going. Okay. So I finally bought it.

And I was like, oh man, I loved this game. It was on the Game Boy Advance. And I remember playing the shit out of this game on the Game Boy Advance. And so I've been playing it this weekend and I started thinking about when I used to play it on the Game Boy Advance. And so I've been playing it this weekend and I started thinking about when I used to play it on the Game Boy Advance and it was a Game Boy Advance SP.

And I remembered that the copy I got was from a pawn shop down in San Antonio and I went down there with Jeff because we used to always go to like garage sales, estate sales, pawn shops, it's always looking for video games and just like whatever. Like back when we were making drunk gamers. And we went to, I don't know why we decided to go to pawn shops. I think we went to, I don't know why we decided

to go to punch shops. I think we went to the punch shops by the military base. What are the military bases in San Antonio? We were down there already. I think maybe we were visiting your old workplace or something for the day. And we were like, while we're here, let's check out some punch shops

and see what another town is like. So we went to this one punch shop in San Antonio and they had advanced wars in the case. And I was like, oh, this is 20 years ago. So it was advanced wars for the Game Boy Advance SP. So I was like, oh shit, they have advanced wars and I asked the guy, like, how much is it? And he like, he like, opens up, he like,

shuffles over, opens up the case, you know, pulls it out, you know, puts it on the glass counter front of me. I pick it up and look at it and go, how much is it? And he goes, just palm it. And I go, what? He goes, just take it. He's like, I moved over, I'm blocking the camera. No one will see, just putting your pocket.

It's yours. Yeah, I was like, I wonder what he goes, put it in your pocket and walk away. I was like, okay, sorry, I just put an advance horse in my pocket and walk away. I walked away. Yeah, I got it, I got it, that's worse for free because the dude was just like, I just take it.

He didn't give a fuck, he was cool dude. That's cool, shit. He was literally like, put it in your pocket and walked out the fiber. I was like, okay. I played that game for hours and hours over the course. I was like, okay, I played that game for hours and hours over the course of years and only now 20 years later am I finally actually paying for it and And giving giving someone money in order for the opportunity to play a great game filing

It's like it's totally my style of the game. Is it like a tactical RPG? Yeah, yeah, like a super on the fantasy Yeah, but super RPG light. It's not like you have like a skill tree and you're building a character progression or anything. Uh, but yeah, it's just like little military. And it's in the and I see now like I kind of forgotten a lot about it. And uh, the game was supposed to come out in February of 2022, if I remember right originally. And uh, they delayed it and Nintendo, you know, classic Nintendo fashion didn't really say much about why they delayed it. If people speculated it was because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yeah.

And I was like, that's stupid. Why they do that? And I finally started playing it this past weekend. And I was like, oh, the enemy's a dude named Olaf. He invades another country. And his bases look like little Kremlin's. Oh. Oh, it's like he invades the orange star country.

And you have to repel him and reclaim orange star. They're like, oh, okay, I can see why they delayed it. It is like one for one and everyone's like, yeah, it's maybe that's okay. Yeah, it's a little chew on the nose. Yeah, it's so funny. Yeah, I was like, okay, okay, yeah, it's a 20 year old game. Obviously, it predates all of this, but I could see how like releasing it, I think it was supposed to come out like the week of or the week after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It was like, oh, okay, yeah, it's a little distance on that. Speaking of old games, I've started playing Assassin's Creed II again over the weekend. What? Because I never played two, I played one and then whatever came after it, like Odyssey or Revelations, whatever it was after.

I'm perfect. What was it? Assassin's Creed III maybe? I played one and then whatever came after it, like Odyssey or Revelations, whatever was after it. I remember. Was it Assassin's Creed III maybe? No, it was Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed, Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Assassin's Creed III. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, came out before origins. And so that was like, all right, the order. Six years ago. Okay, five years ago. All right, welcome to Anima. Here's the order of Assassin's Creed. The Assassin's Creed episode can in.

Boom. It goes, oh brotherhood. Oh, oh, oh, oh. And then three. Oh, okay. So there's two brotherhood, anyway, I skipped two, we're not like brotherhood and revelations.

But I was like, I was so, I was walking around Florence with Emily and I was like, this shit's all in Assassin's Creed. We could go home and you could climb to the top of that building and she was like, really? So I popped it into showroom. We've just been fucking around going to stuff. And it's all the same. It's exactly where I just was.

Yeah, it's so wild. I mean, the scale's all weird, but it's there. I had a similar experience, but I'm sure in the SAS, it's great it's a lot more one-to-one, right? It's very, these locations exist, and I'm sure for historic purposes, they keep it all the same. But I remember when I went to Japan for the first,

I went to Tokyo for the first time back in 2005, I was walking around Shibuya outside of the train station, and I could see buses coming in and picking people up, and I was walking around Shibuya outside of the train station and like there was like I see like you know buses coming in and picking people up and I was like looking around like This is a level in jet set radio I was like I was like I grind it the rails up over there and came around into this bus It's it's really weird when a video game has the exact same location as like a real world place like I know I've never been here, but I know this place, I know where stuff is. One of the, I don't really get did terribly well,

but one of the coolest videos I thought we ever did at Achievement Hunter was Jack went out to LA when LA Noir was new. And I would, I sent him to locations to film and then we went to them in LA Noir and then superimposed over at the real location today so you could see the change and how close it was. I thought that was a really cool video. LA has seen so much change. I can't imagine too much of it was. It's still there. I mean a lot of

it's still there. Yeah. You still drive down Wilshire. It's just now everything's taller. Yeah, the Gromm and Chinese theaters still there and like a lot about the growth of LA lately. Well, like Perry Mason season two, it's a great show. And that deals with LA, and LA specifically in the 30s. And it makes me think a lot about China town and how they talk about this in Perry Mason as well. Like how it was like a town no one kind of took seriously, because it was so far out to the West, and I don't know, people really didn't live there.

And then, you know, having to figure out these problems about how do you grow like that, you know, how do you scale up for this many people coming, and like really, the country getting smaller, where it's not so far, like it's all, you know, part of the same country. And I feel like, I've been thinking about a lot because I think a lot of that parallels

what's going on in Austin now, making that transition from kind of a sleepy college town to me not knowing where the fuck we're sitting and how everything's constantly getting. So I think of LA being the same way where everything's constantly, for a period everything was constantly getting bulldozed, rebuilt bulldozed, rebuilt to like,

where now everything's trying to build up to compensate for the growth. It's funny. I was thinking about that when I was in Rome because I went to the Coliseum and it's fucking wrecked, right? But it's really cool still, but it's fucking wrecked. It's totally wrecked. And you see everything else that's still around and still looks pretty new. And you're like, why didn't the Coliseum survive when all this other stuff did?

Found out that the Catholic church in like the 13, 1400s, they wanted to bling out like St. Mark's Basilica. And so they went over to the Coliseum, which was largely intact, and they just stripped mind it. They took all the iron out of it. There was tons of iron supports, and then that caused it all to crumble.

And then they took, it was covered in marble. And they took all the, of it, there was tons of iron supports and then that caused it all to crumble and then they took, it was covered in marble and they took all the, like it was covered in marble and they took all the marble out. So you to see the full Coliseum, you gotta go to the Coliseum and then you gotta go to St. Mark's Basilica and see what it became.

Like they stole all the statues from it and everything and you're like, those assholes. But then you're like, oh, that's the same thing as like, like we're in Austin going like, when are you gonna blow up Frank Arwen's center all the way? Jesus Christ, I'm sick of looking at it, you know? It's the same thing. It's the same thing as like, like we're in Austin going like, when are you gonna blow up Frank Arwin Center? Oh, Jesus Christ, I'm sick of looking at it. Yeah, it's the same thing. It's the exact same time. Time just when you aren't the one who built it. Yeah. It's just the thing that's here.

And now there's this other thing that you want to do, who gives a fuck about the old thing. Yeah, and you like from their perspective, it's like this big ass old building. Yeah. Nobody's using. There's no use for it. No one's using this thing. That's nothing. And you just go, well, take, it's got all this fuckingass old building. Yeah, nobody's using it. There's no use for it. No one's using it for it. No one's using it for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it.

There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it.

There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for it. There's no use for that also with the pyramids in Egypt.

I think they say that the tops were covered in gold. And like, where'd that go? That's long gone. That's crazy. I didn't know that. Yeah, it's like if you look at the very top of the pyramids, they're smooth compared to everything else because they were protected. They were covered in gold for so long compared to the rest of it.

Wow. Speaking of Egypt, when I was in Rome, they pointed out there are 13 obelisks, Egyptian obelisks in Rome that are like, I don't know, maybe 50 feet tall, maybe a little taller, some of them. Now they're just stone structures and they brought them over like, I don't know, 500 BC, maybe 800 BC.

How the fuck do you transport that? Slaves. A barter. Slaves. That's a big fucking boat. That thing must weigh. When labor is free. Yes, slaves. That's a big fucking boat. Yeah, that thing must weigh when labor is free Yes, no, I know, but it was like that thing must weigh 30 times. Yes, and they bring over 13 of them. Yes They they think about the Egyptians built the pyramids like each of those stones was fucking heavy as hell

Although I've heard recently that the Rome's a long way from it's a long way. He's put it on the boat and labor is free Yeah, I guess what you get it on the boat. That gets easy. Then you just sail in sail north northwest. When you're the foreman and you just tell people to keep going, just like even tip it over. It's like how the I don't know how easy, right? I don't know. It doesn't seem it's it's unfathomable. Yeah, they were able to move such large pieces and everything. But I've been reading I don't know how true it is, but I've been reading recently some people saying that perhaps the Egyptians didn't use slaves to build the pyramids that it was like people who were paid like specialists.

And I'm like, I don't know how much I believe that. Yeah, that might be a little revision. Like I do. It really is like when people talk about that stuff, like, man, how are they able to do this? And it's like unlimited free labor. That is all it and people I don't know, could be an aliens and it's like,

could be way simpler than that. And it could take decades. Yes, it must have taken decades. It could have taken hundreds of years to do this and you're looking at it now and going, wow, pretty crazy. Day in and day out. People moving the ship.

Like, do people to tire lives working on it, and not finishing? And it's such an expansive amount of time too. It's like, when we were in Florence, they were like, yeah, you're learning about the Medici family. And they're like, and they ruled Florence for 700 years. That's one family. And you're like, that's two and a half times America.

Yeah. One family, two and a half times America. Crazy. And now they have coffee shops in Austin. And now they have, which we have to go to. We have a springdale. She got the one on springdale. I think what did him in, finally,

is they had a dumb kid. That's all the truth. I think that happens a lot. I think through history, it's just, it is, it's lore and family hope and all this stuff and then one dumb fucking thing. One dummy shows up. Who's stronger?

700 years of history or one dumb dumb? I just really like, it really just puts us in the perspective. When everything you see in front of you is a thousand years older than America, minimum. It's a fucking wild. You get used to the idea that America's here and it'll always be here. Like a United States American will always be a thing.

But probably not. No. Like, chances are it won't make it another hundred years. I would think not. Things change. Yeah. It's a change in America right now. I, it's funny.

I've been thinking about this. I've been thinking about this as well, actually. Um, you know, it seems like, I don't want to, we're not, we're not a politics podcast, but it's like everything's very divisive, right? People are very pitted against each other. And I've been trying to think back about the state the country was in post 9-11 and how it seemed like everyone came together and everyone was so unified. And I remember at the time being kind of young and naive and thinking, wow, I wonder

if we're really turning a corner. We're really gonna enter a new chapter where bipartisanship disappears and everyone's gonna meet in the middle and come together to be great. And it lasted for a year or two. Yeah. Some terrible shit happened to cause it and then some terrible shit happened as a result of it.

And now we're like even more divided than before. Only 20 years later, some great auto texture here. Yeah, we do. Leap for. But it really was like 2002, American flags sold out everywhere. Good luck trying to buy one. You couldn't keep them on the shelves.

We might have to actually take a break. Move, the dude just started to leap. No, no, no, we're good. We're just, you're just gonna get through this. It'll be fine. And maybe wonder about like, how much? Yeah, can you fix this? How much younger people remember about that?

Like, you know, we work with a lot of people who are younger than us. Yeah. And it was like, oh, you know, they're like, I was five when 9-11 happened. Like, they don't remember. Like, that stuff didn't have an impression on them. I mean, like, you and I were, we were friends.

We were together. Yeah, I was an adult. I had a job. Yeah. I had a salary at that time. Like I had vacation days. We had a job, plans, things to do. I was going somewhere.

So it's just like, it's just weird to think back about it and how. I don't know. It was just a unique moment in time. Yeah. I want to talk a little bit about this area because even in the time that I've lived here in the last few years, it's really fucking changed. Like the top dotty here and in the. and the core zone, I guess, across the street and all this stuff come up shop and all this stuff or whatever, and it's right by like the train tracks. What was this like when you guys were coming down here? My memory of this place for a long time,

like in the late 90s or 2000s, there wasn't really much out here. Like there's that scrapyard over there. And then like I remember they built that Hilton and like they started like kind of developing the west of the interstate. But like all of this east of the interstate, they really, no one was really touching.

They really wasn't much out here. There was a Mexican restaurant I used to eat here in the mid-90s. I think it was across the street. What's it called? It was called Ninfas. They used to be here. Oh, and then they moved to six.

Let's six. Yeah, and then they moved up off of 183, like 183 just east of Lamar, another ground. This was, I think I said earlier, this was an empty lot. As a matter of fact, when you would go to progress or Wright Brothers, you could park in this empty lot. Yeah, so this was like, this is where you would park, just like an ad-

Pfft, yeah. Like in Pothole dirt lot. So this was like, this is where you would park, just like in a, Puck, Dirty Dirty Dirty Bokers. Like in Pothole dirt lot. And then a little bit to the left, there were some ramshackle kind of warehouses that were artist-spaced, and they had like pottery, there were people that throw pottery there, and I think there was like glass blowing and stuff.

And then it backed into Plaza Satio, which is still there. And then yeah, this was nothing. You said Corazon, that's all like a five-story apartment complex behind us. That was just an empty lot as well. Yeah, there was nothing there. Yeah. And then, yeah, this was nothing. You said Corazon, that's all like a five-story apartment complex behind us. That was just an empty lot as well. There was nothing here. Yeah.

That's why this is like a blind spot for me. We walked in here, I haven't been here in years. We walked in here like, I don't know where we are. This doesn't look familiar to me at all. This was the epicenter of drinking culture in Austin, at least for me, in the early to mid-2000s. A little bit further, it was where all the bars we would go to were e6 tree bars. You'd stay the fuck away from 36 and you would come over here and it's just exploded.

Every block it was a food trailer was like a grassy lot with four food trailers in it and then one day you would drive by and there'd be a three story hole in the ground. And then a year later, there's a five story apartment complex. And it's just every block is getting absorbed by these by growth, I guess, these apartment complexes. And it just goes for blocks and blocks down on fourth street and fifth and sixth. Yeah. It's a, yeah, this is, this is it's a real city. Yeah, this is a crazy me. It always felt like this was a land that was really not being used and that really resisted change for a long time. Yeah. You know, they really didn't want to, the people who won't, the land out here really didn't

want to sell, didn't care what was going on. Well, actually, they didn't care. But they didn't care to embrace whatever change was happening. They were happy with the status quo and keeping things as they were. And it seems like maybe there was a chip in the wall or like one lot fell, did everyone else saw how much it went down. Tom Kidd.

How much money they can get for it and then everything else followed suit. But yeah, this has been crazy change. It's in the few years that I've lived here. This is the point, this is the part of Austin that I point out as has changed the most since the day I moved. It is. It is fucking crazy.

How I guess for life a better term gentrified this area became just within like a few blocks and they ram jammed it. They're like, there's a city target here and a whole foods. And it's a cross street from the coffee shop and the kabob shop and the hop dotty's here. And here's where you get pizza and here's a brewery. And it's like, slow down. And it's all built with apartments on top. Well, they had that fence of apartments. Yes. They had that plan with like for Plaza Saltheo, which Jeff was talking about.

And I was like, oh, that's weird. Why would they do that? You know, that's what I thought when they announced it. And no, it's not like, oh like, oh, this is a lot. This is intense. But if you keep going a little bit east, even just a few blocks from where we are, yellow jacket, it's still there.

How for how long? Dude, I don't think that place is going anywhere. It's right next to what, tamale house and all that stuff. For how long? Man. Oh, that shit's gonna go away, dude. I ended that place in years.

Yeah, this is yours. The vibe got totally ruined when 4,000 apartment complexes fell right around it. I don't know what everybody that used to go to, well, I don't go anywhere because I don't drink anymore, right?

But everybody that used to go to Yellow Jacket goes to kind of tropical now. Oh, yeah. It's like the same ownership or like similar, like some of the same ownership, also little darlin' down south

as those guys as well. So they all just moved further east. Yeah, yeah, that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna go away. It's just gonna keep moving further east. That's crazy. Or like further out to the, away from the core of whatever this is. This is, yeah.

For most of us learning a second language in high school or college wasn't exactly a high point in our academic careers. I took Latin in high school. Why did I do that? I don't know. Can do I remember any Latin nowadays?

No. And even if I did, that very useful, probably.

My family was a Spanish-speaking family, but I never actually really learned Spanish.

I kind of learned it just by listening to everyone and trying to repeat things I know, so I can get by, okay, but I don't actually know any of the rules or the way it's supposed to be correctly spoken and put together. So I've been actually trying to teach myself Spanish the right way using Babel going through the lessons and it's really enlightening. Sometimes words are a little different than I thought they were.

Babble language for life. Do you remember what the coffee shop was before a yellow jacket? What it was called? No, I guess on the tip of my tongue. No, I went there for years. It was such a cool little, remember they had that little like in the back. It was a little like sunk in area. You'd go down and it was surrounded by bamboo.

Yeah, it was like, that was a cool place. Dude, I can't remember anything anymore. Yeah. Why are we even doing this podcast? This is the, I can't remember, it's on the tip of my tongue pod. It's cop taking photos. He's gonna give us.

What are you guys, what are you fellas doing here? Anything you want, baby? Record it. Live it on the edge. We're legalizing big drawings. We're good. Bring coffee. But it's funny, the end. We're legalizing big drawings. We do. We can copy. But it's funny.

Like I'm looking at this hop dotty over here and I feel like that was such a big deal for so long. You know, there was always like a wait and a line to go there and now they're everywhere in the one cares anymore. Hey dude. Yeah, dude, for sure. It was a legit for the first like two years they were open. It was a legit hour and a half way to get in we used a joke because they opened up one in California

We used to joke that you could fly to LA and eat it to hop you out hop that either faster than you could get through the line in Austin It and now who gives a fuck yeah, there's a bunch and it's weird that I didn't know that there was one right here like Yeah, this is new. I don't think it was there for it's's been there very long. Very, very weird, very weird. And for a burger that's like, that's pretty good. It's okay. It's not, it's not that good. I went to casino commino yesterday, so how was it? It's Buffalo burger. It was fucking great. Yeah, the Buffalo burger. That's the best one. That's the one I liked. I like it. I like it. It's burger. I haven't been there in so many years.

Well, I mean, we have to do an episode there, but we just have to do it on a day where they don't open to like noon or something. So, I mean, we have to do an episode there, but we just have to do it on a day where they don't open to like noon or something. So we have to. We'll do an afternoon episode, the lunch episode. Yeah, we'll have to do a lunch episode. It's a really good audio texture of like chewing on a burger. No, no. Yeah, even now, man, I mean, there's like this moving truck that's been out there for around, I don't know what the fuck they're like unloading air conditioning units and like,

what the hell are they building out here? I mean, if we were to go east, we'd probably see a bunch of apartment complexes and condos like this under construction. What's crazy? This is all, you know, our checks coming up in a couple of months. Like this is all walkable from the convention center. It's like, it's not like a far out super close in my, but it's easily walkable. I mean, it's what you have to go across the freeway. We're two blocks past the freeway. It's not like you have to run across freeway. Go under the bridge on the freeway or whatever.

But we're, I think we're probably three or four blocks from the convention center. Do you go a little bit further? Easy Tiger has a thing on E seventh. Oh, yeah. And so you can go there. This is like where I go drinking is E six. Go to Violet Crown and stuff.

Yeah. If you, if you find yourself over here, and you wanna go, if you're looking for, if you find yourself here for RTX, check out White Horse, check out Yellow Jacket, check out Shangri-La, check out the crackle. I love the crackle. Check out that easy tiger is really good.

It's really nice too, that's big. I'm gonna bend to that one. But here's the thing. Check out that easy tiger is really good. It's really nice too. That's big. I'm bending that one. But here's the thing. Check out Latch Key. You have to make your mix of inside and outside. This is a thing that I think people are talking about in Austin. You have to make your mix if you're going to bar hop.

You have to make your mix of what you're going to do. Which places are indoor? Yeah. Which places are outdoor? And which places are indoor outdoor? Yeah. Because you go to Latch Key and you can be inside, but boy, it gets crowded. Yeah. And it starts getting warm. So you're like, I'll go out back and it's July.

So at 10 p.m. you're like, oh, 91 degrees. Go to Liberty and eat the Get the Veggie Meshie in the back from the East Side King back there. It's still there, even. I went to that. I went to a restaurant with Eric and Jordan a few weeks ago. And it's, I don't remember what it's called now, but it's where Contigo used to be. I was like a Korean barbecue. Yeah. It's like ramen. Yeah, ramen stuff.

Okay. But I'd never been to Contigo because it was mostly outdoor seating. It only a little bit of indoor. It's like it's way too hot most of the year for that. But we went and it was like, oh, they do have a little bit of indoor seating. We were able to sit inside. It's nice. Contigue was awesome, but they suffered from the same fate that I think a lot of places do, which is they launched and they put out their menu and they never fucking changed it.

And it was the same like 12 things. So at some point, if you only like two things on the menu, you just get burned out of going, you know? Also, weren't they only open like a limited number of hours, like they didn't do lunch, it was only like a couple hours for dinner? Back in the day, I think they were open more. I think that might have started to limit it as they went on. But that was one of those places that was awesome.

And we used to like, we used to take people there when they were in town to visit R.T. and stuff. And then like I took the cow chop kids there once. And then it just like, eventually you're like, they're just never gonna add anything to the menu. And I'm just, I don't want the rabbit dumplings on fucking sick of this You gotta mix it up. If you're a restaurant you gotta mix it up mix it up Mm-hmm, nah, I like but I see what you're saying that sounds right for guys

But on the other hand if something's if it ain't broke don't fix it apparently it was broke It's not there anymore. Yeah, this Guys point if this is working. Point taken. I just think about like normally I'll find a thing I like at a place and I'll just keep ordering it. Like I don't want to try something different for fear that it's not going to be as good as a thing that I like. I don't do that almost anywhere.

I want to try a new thing everywhere, all the time. I want just a different thing than the last time that I went. I tried a new hot pot place last night that was fucking awesome. It might be the best hot pot place in Austin. Next to Dip Dip, which is a different experience. But it's at like airport in Lamar in that shopping center over there where it's called like sugar leaf, maybe, or sugar sweet.

It's like, I don't know. It's, it's, it's, they just had their soft opening. Okay. And it's so fucking good. So good. Everybody gets their own individual pots. It's a free standing building in there in that like. Like in the parking lot?

Yeah. Okay. Or maybe it's like if you go to the right, you know like where the book store is. Yeah. It's like further right. Oh, oh, oh, right. Yeah. It's like across, I knew that place was under construction. I didn't realize they book store is. Yeah, it's like further right. Oh, oh, oh right. Yeah, it's like across

I knew that place was under construction. I didn't realize they're open now. Yeah, it's they're open and it's like a hot You should go. It's fucking great. Okay. Yeah, it's like at the end of that building There is some other shit next to it, but yeah, I don't know what it's across from like the it's real close to the like the hot dog Like Asian hot dog, okay dog, okay dog. Yeah, it's pretty close to that. Yeah, there's a dice so there that that whole shopping Complex really turned around awesome like for a long time There was just like a Korean grocery store in there and nothing else Oh, and it's where that that restaurant you're talking about where that opened It was either right there or where the Kino Kunei is anyway

It was I remember where the Kino Kuneo was but regardless Like that was it and it seemed like it was like mad like a put it with a Cunocuniolis, but regardless. Like that was it, and it seemed like, it was like, man, I can't bulldoze at it any day now. There's nothing in there. And then I don't know if they got new ownership or what, but it's like, they really started just kind of like fixing up the exterior, like really trying to make it nice. And now it's like, that parking lot is a nightmare

because that place is so popular. There's so many popular businesses in there. Yeah, it's a vibrant place. Is it called soup leaf? Soup leaf, that's what it is, soup leaf. Yeah, look it up. Yeah, it's a vibrant place. Is it called soup leaf? Soup leaf, that's what it is soup leaf. Yeah, look it up. Yeah, it looks like it's like brand new, but it's like right there and parking there.

Fucking so. Brutal, brutal. The, each, like normally in a parking lot, you go down in one direction, and all the parking lots angled for you. In there, every lane is angled in both directions. And there's not enough room for two cars to go by, and each parking spot is way too small.

We had to park in the back like a employee parking. Yeah, that's really building. That's the pro tip for that place. Parking the back where the employee parking is because the lot in front is awful. Yeah. That's right over by a coffee shop that I really want to go to for the show. Called Barrett's.

Oh, yeah. Around the corner of San John. I've been a Barrett. I've never been there. That's where I get beans. Like that's my preferred, like that's the coffee shop that I go to a lot. It's on the backside of all that. I've been, bearer. I've never been there. That's right, it means. Like that's my preferred, like that's the coffee shop that I go to a lot. It's on the backside of all that.

I've been, that's right. I, thanks for mentioning coffee, uh, not our coffee podcast. I'm drinking it. Have you ever had a beer? Do you know what a bea-letta is? Bea-letta? Bea-letta.

It's like a coffee maker that they have in Italy. I bought one. Sounds, it sounds Italian. Yeah, no kidding. Is it, does it make espresso? Only certain times a day. You can't. It has a clock on it and it makes sure you can't get your cappuccino in certain hours. Is it a mocha pot? It's one of these things. Yeah, it's a mocha pot. Yeah, I bought one of those. Yeah, those are cool. Let's see how it works. Maybe we can make some stuff for in the room. Do you have, um, do you have, be a lady? Fire. What am I trying to say? Give

a gas range or an electric range on your stove? Yes, okay. It's it's I to me. It's better for that You have to heat it up make sure your water's pretty warm when you start it and then it's fun to watch Like if you like keep like the little top lid off you can watch like the little espresso go and it's pretty cool We should get a little camp stove with butane. Mm-hmm Yes, yes, and do this and do it on the go somewhere. And that's an episode. I'll bring the be a letty and we'll do it.

Yeah, that's a great idea. I'm making eyes at these guys. Because we're planning something. But yeah, this is this is a really good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll come prepared wherever we go. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, be Y.O.C. Yeah. Yeah. You pick the beans and I'll pick the B.O.N. Yeah, I'll bring some. My friend just started roasting actually here in Austin at a little spot kind of north. And he gave me some beans that I tried today

that are mixed with like beans that they do with fermented watermelon, season stuff. And it is like drinking almost like a, like it's so flavorful. It has like a juice flavor to it. Like a watermelon juice a, like it's so flavorful. It has like a juice flavor to it, like a watermelon juice. Oh, it's so nice. I like watermelon.

I'm drinking this, but I had that coffee earlier and I got a text and would be like, it's so fucking good. It's so good. I saw a comment on the recent ANMA that said, why haven't these guys been sponsored by a coffee company yet? Uh huh. And I thought, that's cool.

That's a good point. If you're a coffee company, let's talk. Yeah, I think that I think that I think there are people here in Austin that we can do stuff with or whatever. It's that I think the problem is they contact us directly and then it's hard to make the connect past that because it's not like I'm a Hawkeye watching the DM section of the camera, Twitter.

But we'll try to get people in contact or whatever if it's something we can do. I would love to do that. Even if it's a reskin, like the way we do with King's Coast with A.H. with Achievement Hunter, I think that was so cool. We'd love to do something like that. Well, that wasn't even a reskin.

Wayne came down, the dude from King's Coast came down and we made, we blended the coffee there. Yeah, we did an episode in Achievement Hunter of like, it was like me and Trevor and I think Alfredo, and he like caught us how you roast coffee, and then we put, we designed it. And then what happened is after that partnership ended, they just rebranded it to a different brand.

So they reskinned the best in the industry. They reskinned the best in the industry. But it was also there, it was also like, we were idiots and he was the genius. That was what you know what I mean? So absolutely. Yeah, it goes with those guys, man. Yeah, all it takes is one dumb dumb. I really like that dude Wayne, he was the genius. You know what I mean? So absolutely. Yeah, it goes with those guys. Yeah, it all takes one dumb dumb.

I really like that dude Wayne. He was really nice. Yeah, we'll see if we can do a coffee thing. Here's the thing. I think we're all gonna have really different tastes and coffee in what we're gonna do. So trying to find something that we're gonna do is gonna be, I don't know.

Well Jeff gives everything a 10. So, matter what, as long as it's cold and you can drink it through his drive. I don't I think I've given maybe three tens the whole time. That that's so I would love to see uh an average score that each of us is given over the course of average scores like I think our average scores are probably around seven seven and a half. I think yours is probably 10s towards nine. Uh I would give this a 10

to your chase. It's the first ice coffee I've had in two weeks Doesn't have that's not indicative of it easily. I've been going to Wright brothers since before they were here since they were progress I've been supporting that place for 15 fucking years. That is a 10 is it the same coffee? I have no idea All I know is you know why I don't know the sign of change the people may have changed the coffee may have changed, but it's still a 10 I never had ice coffee until Lewis Check me into drinking it. So I would have been drinking a hot coffee back then. So I was hard to compare I loved progress and I love this is a good cup of coffee. It's definitely where I come to so this is where me and Gavin different Gavin Cantrell who used to work at RT who does a lot of like lighting stuff in New

York and everything. Things working on that fallout show. Oh, that's cool. And we would come here and get like in the middle of the day and get like quartatos and stuff and then just sort of talk shop for an hour or so. And that was always like our landing point was brew and brew. It was always just nice to kind of get there and I just really like this place a lot. I guess we can talk about the coffee and kind of like rake the spot or whatever, but like I really like brew and brew. I think their breakfast is good,

but I don't like a bagel sandwich. Really? I think a bagel doesn't lend itself to be a good bread for a sandwich because it's too chewy. Interesting. I like, I like a good shoe in the sandwich, but I think nervous, I've never had him here, but I think nervous Charlie says excellent. Oh, I think the best bagels. Yeah. So that's, that's the, of the three places in Austin that make bagels nervous Charlie's that the place over, is that rock star over like a 12 inch, a cone, maybe your seventh inch cone. There's a sign outside that's like, don't knock on the window. We're bringing you order.

Don't worry. I'm sorry. I used to always run into Evan back there. Oh, really? Yeah, he was a big rock star fan. It's a they do good bagels. I really like nervous Charlie's. I like their, I like their sandwiches too.

They're gonna throw me. Uh-oh. It's really good. It's just. I just saw me. Yeah, I know. I first saw me. The bagel, when I get a bagel sandwich, no matter where it is, is always like, I'm going to have to fight hard and rip a little.

And then I'm chomping. It's like an animal. I'm very much, I've become a dog and I'm eating a bagel. But I do think Bruneru has a very good breakfast sandwich stuff. Like if you can come down and make it work, it's really good. It's a good vibe to you. Yeah, it's really good. It's a good vibe too. Yeah, it's a cool place. The line gets really long.

It moves pretty quick. Yeah, I was shocked when we walked in, we had to get in line, but it wasn't, it was fast. I only came, the line was out the door. It was like, fuck man. I only stopped going because it became hard to park. Once they put in pay parking, and then once these buildings went up

and the dirt parking lot was gone, it just, I don want to go anywhere that I have to put effort into stopping. No, I'm with you. You know what I mean? It's just annoying. I feel like we looked out. Like we were pulling up and there was this street parking and I was like, oh, I'm just going to park here. Did that yesterday that Pocont Street Festival, we were talking about this on the way. I went to a wrestling show at Empire and did not know it was commencement or graduation weekend at UT. Also did not know the Pocon Street Festival was going on and rolled into eighth and luckily had a car pull out and I went, oh, just dip right in.

Going to Casino, turned the corner and went, me and my buddy just went, what the fuck? What happened? There are a billion people on Sixth Street with like vendor tents and everything. I've never seen the Pocon Street Festival. All selling nothing. Yeah.

Just crap. Just crap. That's, I always get excited and then I go and I'm like, oh right, I don't like this. I don't want to buy any of this like Cowboy ephemera. They do it like twice a year. But I guess Sixth Street used to be called Pocon Street, which is why they call it the Old Pocon Street Festival.

Yeah. And why did the Old Poconstreet Cafe is there? Another bit of truth, I don't know if we were talked about. This bit of trivia about the streets here is, you know, Red River is right here by 35. That's like the northern, that's like the border between Texas and Oklahoma. All of the streets from that, in that direction, heading west,

are all the rivers in Texas from north to south. That's why ultimately ends in Rio Grande down at the other end. It was, I didn't know that. Yeah, so it's like all of the rivers, it's like red river. That's why Colorado's on the way, Brazos, Trinity, and then it terminates in Rio Grande way down. That's very clever. That's very, that's cool.

Name it alphabetically. Why are you doing? You have to know Texas. Yeah, I'm not from here. That's very, that's cool. Name it alphabetically. Why are you doing- You have to know Texas D'Azerby to be my friend. I'm not from here. That's insane. That's crazy. In San Diego, we have a bunch at the A Street and First

and all this stuff. When you get out towards kind of Bobo Park and everything, it's all alphabetical, but it's all trees. And I'm like, oh, that's really, that's, it's Elm, Furn. And you're like, oh, this is very easy to navigate. The fucking rivers north to south. But it then delayed out east to west. Yeah.

That's insane. That's, that's really cool and fucking crazy. It's stupid. That's so funny. Cool and dumb. Yep. Gus, what do you, what do you think about the coffee? It's like a nine fucking crazy. It's stupid. That's so funny. Cool and dumb. Yep. Gus, what do you, what do you think about the coffee? It's like a nine, man.

It's really good. Yeah, I really, I really like this. I definitely give it a nine also. I think it's really, it's a great, they get a 10 and attitude too. Yeah. Just like, look at it. It's a fucking cute little logo. The whole like didn't issues to be progress.

Yeah, on this one, yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's a clever. It's cool. It's a good spot. A lot of dogs. We saw one, yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's a clever. It's cool. It's a good spot. A lot of dogs. We saw a chill dog, pet a chill dog. Got a ready dog. It's how a ready dog.

They also have beer if you want to just stop and drink. They like doing, yeah. And they got, it's a cool little spot. It's a good, it's a good place. Just east of the freeway. If you're going to start your drinking up to six, start on east fifth, walk up a block,

and then keep going. I would rank it very high on the list of places we've been. Oh, I definitely have. Yeah, like top four or five. This is a place that I come to in my free time, so I definitely put it way up there. It's like, if you're asking me like, Barrett's coffee, it's like, well, that's a 10 for me, and we're not even there yet. I just love that place. We're at what, 45 minutes, something like that?

I do want to get to some anarchy me anything questions you guys can send your Anarchy me anything questions at and a podcast on Twitter and on Instagram very easy to send them on Twitter Well harder on Instagram because I don't know where like would you like write a comment like in a I didn't make sense Let's see. Let's see This is from Darryl Lakers versus Celtics in the finals. No, I don't think so. I think Nuggets versus Celtics or Golden State maybe. I think it doesn't matter. I don't think anyone's going to stop the Celtics. Fucking bullshit game last night though. Lakers are golden state. What they're, uh, they, they're two to one now.

Yeah. Okay. Game for tonight. Uh, this is for Matt. This is an interesting question. Is there anything in particular you wish? Uh, is for Matt, all of them get back to work. Is there anything particular that you wanted to make that didn't come together

for your fashion line for when you're doing Jeff? Oh, I thought you're going to ask for shows. Yeah, that's a fashion. line. For when you're doing Jeff. Oh, I thought you were gonna ask for shows. Yeah, it's a fashion. No, it's a little head fake. Nah. I don't think so. We Euro-stepped it. Any, like, that, I mean, the fashion line's still going.

It's definitely like on the back burner. And we just kind of make stuff when we have ideas. I got really exhausted from trying to come up with new ideas a couple times a year and like trying to reinvent the wheel with just a peril That's why face has been such a breath of fresh air because we can come up with actual weird shit It's creative and different to make mm-hmm. So I would say now not really. Okay. I had to do an ad read For RTX for tail that was gonna be inserted in tails from the stinky dragon

Uh-huh, and one of the things One of the highlights one of the points I had to mention was the face museum. But Tales from the Stinky Dragon is a family friendly show. Oh, so I got to that point in the ad read and I was like, and I was like, and the face museum in the raw audio, I'm like, I can't say face because it's a family friendly

podcast. The Bleep Face Museum, I remember to say that. Oh, I have one. Okay, I was doing a lot of collabs back before the pandemic. One thing they were working on a collab, we were very collab heavy. I was close to getting to do a collab with Darryl Genrefer, who was in Bad Brains, he's an artist as well.

He was gonna, that's what reminded me. He was gonna design some merch for me that I I was gonna, and it just fell through. But getting to work with like, Daryl, Jennifer from Bad Brains, like I've been a fan of Bad Brains since 2014. So that would have been cool. God, that would have been insane. That would have been really cool.

When I picked, when I closed my eyes and pictured Jeff, I picked you in that Bad Brains shirt that you wore forever. Yeah, and back in the late 90s, early 2000s. It was like the rock for light, the, the lightning bolt. Yeah, hitting the Capitol. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that is stereotypical Jeff in my mind. Yeah, for me too That was like my out that was my you back in the day. Yeah

The question from Austin city. No, you could live anywhere in Austin. Monty's no object zoning doesn't matter even inside of buildings or parks Anything does not matter if it's residential anywhere in Austin, where would it be in life? Thinking. There's so many places I'd like to live in Austin. Really? Yeah. Every neighborhood in Austin's awesome. Maybe like on the lake.

Oh, that's a good call. That's a really good call. Like one of those really nice houses on the one like Austin, right, Jetsky. Yeah. I'd like my backyard to be the Lake Austin right jet ski. Yeah. I'd like my backyard to be the lake. That's never gonna happen. No, that would be really cool.

There's those houses that have like boat garages. Mm-hmm. Like they're right on the water and the boat comes in and parks there. I would pick the governor's mansion. Oh. That's a good thing. I like that.

Yeah, yeah. That's a really good fig. Is it finally fixed? Yeah, it is. It a really good fig. Is it finally fixed? Yeah, it is. It took a lot of time. Some dude in Moltov cocktail to go. Yeah, yeah. They never caught him.

I don't think. Fucked it up though. Yeah, man, they were working on it for years. This is like a big thing. Like, one, how did someone do it? And two, how did it go unnoticed for so long? Yeah, right. The fuck?

This is from Pewter. What's the craziest creature you've ever been attacked by? Zebra. What? Oh yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, there's a place in in Topsy, Texas called the Topsy Animal Farm.

I don't know if it's still there. Okay. And it's one of those things where you drive around like a safari and you can feed like, I don't know, goats and ostriches and zebra's and shit. Okay. And I had a bag of like Their dumb animal food in my lap and I rolled down my window

This one I was in the army like a million years ago and as and I was like handing a zebra which are zebras are much bigger than horses They're big. They're huge. You don't realize how big they are And to use your face with one and I was just like handing it to it And then I went and I grabbed some more and he saw where the food came from and he just shoved his head into the window and down and he was just chomping at the bag in my dick. And I had to punch that zebra as hard as I could in the fucking like right between the eyes to get them off and I had to hit them like three times before he backed up

and then I was fucking floored it. He was gonna eat my dick off. Not in the good way. Not in the good way. Not in the good way. I mean, you punched a zebra? Hard as I could. You full force punched a zebra. Full force.

Full force. Three times. I couldn't push him off. I was trying to like, he's way stronger than me. And he was just like, bap, bap, bap, bap, like in, like in my genitals. And so I had, I had no choice. I probably only, milly exists today

because I punched that zebra. I think you punch to zebra. Oh, I see. You know, we hit a rip me right open. Oh my god. How about you guys? I hope she appreciates that. And she shares your hate for zebra. Which she sees as zebra. She's going, this horse. For me, it's a lot more mundane, but it might be something a lot more localized to Texas. Maybe people who live in this area can appreciate it. It would be a mockingbird. Oh, yeah. Which are small and you would think they would leave you alone, but they are aggressive they'll die bomb you Yeah, and like they will die bomb you and like try to pick it you and fly away for no reason You could just be walking down the sidewalk and maybe it's got a nest in a tree nearby and it sees you and it's like

You know what fuck that guy. Yeah, and it's like it's gonna start flying at you and just trying to attack you. And it's like, you're not doing anything. I'm just walking down the road and you were just doing a little bird. It's funny when you see people freak out, like a monkey bird will be dive bombing them, they'll like start screaming and running around. It's a bird. What are you afraid of?

You just kinda swipe at it in the air and it'll go, that's like a big insect. Yeah, it's like it's not gonna do anything to you tell that the tippy headron Those were corvids weren't they like crows and ravens and there was millions of them and not just what one What trippy boy? I Got attacked by a crackle on eight really? Yeah, really? Yeah, I was I was just walking down side park to walking down the turn the corner was going to see no Camino and When I was walking down it was I saw it dive bombing a guy from like tree to tree and I'm like, oh, that's funny

It must feel good nest over there and I just fucking walked the same way he did and it started attacking me and I just went well, yeah, that makes sense Hard to fault the bird on this one. Yeah, really, really, that's on me. Who's a bird brewing? Yeah. He wanted to get your sugar packets. Yeah. You should have punched the bird as hard as you could.

Zebra style. Yeah, he just swatted on. I don't know. Okay, I would never get out of your bird. He's not gonna bite you dick off. Yeah. Well, I think that does it for Anma today. Come to RTX, gonna tech by Amaki Bird.

And, uh, we'll be talking a lot about just Austin and general. I had to be in a meeting and they're like, what are you guys going to talk about?

Whatever the fuck we wanna talk about.
