And I saw Jeff turn his camera on and my discord crashed.

Well, I was hanging out with Barbara earlier, so maybe that may be the... I got to think maybe that it's just discord in general and not these people that you're expecting this. No, it's specific. It's every time it's Barbara. And it was fine when you turned yours on Eric. I saw you Jeff turned his on and my discord crashed. Tough.

I'll say I'll say this one of our one of us has a much better camera than the other two and it's me. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm fucking camera looks like shit. Oh, okay. I was like, are you serious? I'm serious. It looks like I'm,

it looks like I'm Skyping in from 2014. Yeah, you got like a real Ted Kizinski kind of look. Are you, are you telling me that Jeff's tech setup is still fucked up after over two years and it's still not good? It's not fucked up, it's just not good. I mean, the audio works. That's really all I can do.

I'm just using the fucking camera that comes with my iMac. Oh great. Good God. I got another one right here, just nobody ever set it up. I got one of these things. Yeah, who would do that, right? Who would set it up?

I mean, we didn't ever send anyone to set up the computer or the camera in your house. Uh-huh. If we had, it would be set up. Mm, right. That's it. Anyway, this is absolutely okay. I thought we started. We did. We're going this is absolutely okay. I thought we started.

We did, we're not in this useable. This is it, this is the podcast. I don't like doing these from home. I don't like the energy. That's hot. It produces. It's so hot outside, dude. We're having to pre-tape this

because you're busy next week. So we can't do it in the morning. So we're having to record it at the heat of the day, 4.35 pm in Austin. Luckily, it's actually not 110 outside right now. Today's a cool Austin summer day. It's only 95 outside. And the thought of drinking a hot Americano at 4.35 in the afternoon at 95 degrees outside, no, I was not doing.

I'm not afraid to be the baby on this one. No, I would, I know. That's why you embrace ice coffee. No. You're refreshing, it cools you down on a hot shitty day. No, it's way too hot outside. Also, in your defense, we just had the hottest seven days in the history of Austin.

It is so brutal outside. Like, it rained in South Austin last night, and I was so jealous of everyone who lived in South. It stopped at the river. I don't know how the rain you stopped in South Austin. It was only down there. I got all the thunder and lightning and zero rain. It was so fucking annoying.

The wind was cool last night. So that was nice. But it was like nice out. Like, did you go outside? It was, like, I just sat out back for probably like an hour and a half last night. So that was nice. Yeah, but it was like nice out. Like did you go outside? It was like, I just sat out back for probably like an hour and a half last night because the lightning was going off, but it was just nice out. It was nice.

And I have not, we haven't had a nice day in a long time. I wish I could have, I was icing my balls last night. Right. I was, they weren't feeling so good. Do you have a bag of frozen peas with you right now in your lap? Not, not with me right now. I'm not icing right now.

I'm trying to wean off the icing. I've been meaning to ask, because you keep talking about the frozen peas, and then we can get right into the podcast. This is it, we're in here. Good morning, Gus. Good morning, Eric. It's afternoon.

It's afternoon. Beautiful. You keep talking about the frozen peas. Have you eaten any of the frozen peas yet that you've used? No. So what I have is I have two bags of frozen peas and a bag of chunky frozen mango. What brand? And I'm just rotate like HB brand, I think. Like Hillculture Fair? He'll catch you fair probably. Okay. Okay. And so I'm just rotating through them. And

there, none of it will ever be consumed. I mean, A, it's just, it's been resting on my dick and balls will ever be consumed. I mean, A, it's just, it's been resting on my dick and balls for eight hours, 12 hours a day. But also, it gets real mushy as it, as it thaws out. Dude, I don't think that it's edible. Are you not a fan of mushy peas? I'm okay with mushy, I'm okay with thawed out cooked mushy peas.

I'm not probably as into thawed out frozen, thawed out frozen, thaw thought out frozen on my junk piece. But we should have done like, frozen, thought them out on your junk, make some mushy peas, have a good dinner, and then to have another bag of peas ready to go. Well, I can prepare the piece for you all, if you guys want the piece.

As the kids say nowadays, mushy peas slap. Is that what this podcast is? Did you, did you learn that yesterday? I learned it this morning. Are you serious? No, no, no, God. Hey, dude, part of my job is making TikToks. I've got to keep up with the slingo with the lingo.

Slingo! Okay, hang on. All right, there's our fried shirt. gotta keep up with the slingo with the lingo. Slingo! Slingo! That's the name. Okay hang on. Alright, there's our pride on shirt. Gotta keep up with the slingo. The slingo. Thank you.

Yeah. No cap. Oh Jesus. Oh Christ. I have a feeling this podcast just entered its flop era. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I can do it too. There, I was driving around the other day

and I was down in, I don't remember why I was down there, but I was down like in the South Austin area and I drove by where, I don't remember, Jeff, like way down off of 35, South of Ben White, Easter 35. There used to be like a Walmart and Sam's Club over there. Yeah, on the hill. Yeah, like, up on the hill, like just in 35. It's just, it's between Stasney and Ben White.

Ben White? Yeah. And I was thinking about how a long time ago, we looked at that building. Like after it stopped being a Walmart and Sam's Club, we looked at that building and thought about moving in there as like a studio space. Do you remember when we toured like that empty Walmart slash Sam's Club and we were like, yeah, we can make this work. We're like, we could rent an old Walmart and make a studio out of it. Yeah, I do. I feel like that that was a period of time when we toured every warehouse in

the city of Austin. Dude, there was, you remember that condemned building on South Congress just north of Ben White that was next to a bar? What was it? It was next to like D&Gims. And it was like, we toured, it looked like a set out of a movie where there's like a bunch of homeless people doing drugs.

And we were looked at that building. We were like, yes, we could fix this. We could move our offices here., we were like, yes, we could fix this, we could move our offices here. Like we were desperate. We were looking at every building that had free space in the city of Austin trying to find a place to move our studio too. Eric, it was so bad.

It was so bad that we literally went upstairs and there was a homeless camp in the upstairs. Yeah. There were like dudes in sleeping bags looking at us. Like, what the fuck are you doing in my bedroom? Yeah, we may have to evict you, sir, sorry. I had, there's something there now. I drove by that the other day too. It's where that like, that building's gone.

There's like a smoke shop or something next to it, I think, yeah, building's gone. They built something new there. Yeah, they tore it down. It was, yeah, it was down. So I'd like, it's, it's, it's, is D and Jim's even still there? You and I went there once to D and Jim's like,

wait, like 20, 25 years ago? I don't think it is. I don't think it is. D&Gims was like this little dive bar. And there was this back when Jeff and I wanted to go to every bar in the city of Austin. And it was like, we drove by D&Gims for every look. Wait, like, wait, down South Congress,

just north of Ben White. And we were like, oh, this looks like a little hole in the wall. Let's go in here. So we parked and walked in. And it was one of those places that the bartender had an ice chest behind the bar filled with cans of beer. And one of the walls was filled with coosies that had the names of the regulars in marker written on them. So you walk, we walked in. They didn't know who we were. We didn't have a coosie. And they were like, what the fuck do you want? You're like, uh, uh, uh, lone star, you know, we just sat there very quietly, drank our one beer and left. And we were like, yeah, we were not welcome

there. Like we did not have a coosie. This was not a place for us. I, uh, it is, sorry, I just did some searching. And I found a video posted on January 1, 2008 that is D and Jim's bar on South Congress in Austin, Texas. And it is exactly what you're describing, shot on, and what looks like an iPhone 2 like man, this is holy shit. You found this place is nuts. It is rare that Gussle present a memory that will I will line up with like exactly 100%. But I, that you nailed it, dude.

You nailed it. I remember thinking like, what do we gotta do to get a coosie and then looking around the place and realizing it's, we never will. No, no. Like, it's just, and it was what, there are some, every once in a while you walk in. It was kinda like when Pee Wee walks into the biker bar

and he used to give used to get into the adventure and the wreckage scratches nearby turns around. You know, it was definitely that kind of moment and it was one of those ones that goes from unfriendly and you can see it slowly ratcheting the hostile and you try to like find the exit in somewhere in between there while still drinking your beer. Yeah, it was not a place we ever returned to.

I don't know if that place is even still there anymore, it was, it was not a place we ever returned to. I don't know, I don't know if that place is even still there anymore. But yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was interesting. It was one of the more interesting places we went to that place. And GNS lounge, GNS lounge was not hostile. But we had, it was for other people. It was for other people. We, we saw like some crazy movie type stuff at GNS lounge. GNS lounge is also is on South first, like close to Old Torf, just south of Old Torf. And real holding the wall, there's a liquor store

next to GNS lounge, right? Or what is that? There's a, there's a, like if you're looking at it from the front, there's like a pawn shop to the right now, but to the left, what's in a liquor store? It used to be Buenos Aires Cafe, but they moved over to East Sixth Street.

Because back when I used to, I was on an impenetra kick for a few years and I would always go to that Buenos Aires. Yeah. Eric, he's not kidding. It was, I mean, it was a fucking awesome place to drink as a super cool and a fun dive bar. And the dude that owned it was really cool

and was really friendly and it was like an old pool table and it was good vibes inside. But one night Gus and I walked out, I think you were there, I think it was you and I. Yeah, it was you and I walked out. It walked out and there was a dude with a monkey wrench in his hand, like threatening another guy.

Like he was gonna beat him to death with a giant rusty monkey wrench. And the other guy goes, motherfucker, I'll be right back. And he walks over to his, not in a hurry, like he's afraid the guy's gonna hit in the back of the head. Opens up his trunk of like a Ford LTD. And he pulls out a giant metal chain that he starts swinging around his fucking head.

And they were about to get it on. Neither person was backing down. It was happening and Gus and I got the fuck out of it. Yeah, we just like looked at each other and made like a b-line for our car. We got like, we gotta get out of here. We do not, because because we talked about before, we'd been in hairy situations at the back room,

and it was like, this is like a riot escalation type thing. We just got to get out of here. You don't want to catch any shrapnel in that situation. Oh, yeah. But it was great, but I think Janice Lounge is actually still there. It is. I just looked it up.

Like, when people talk about old Austin, like, oh, what Austin is, what Austin used to be, this is my Austin. It's all south of the river. All of the, that dude, that's how it feels to me. It feels like everything north of the river is like, oh, this is like North Austin, and it's like, this is downtown.

But like when people talk about like, yeah, this place is crazy, this place is weird. It's like the little, you know, six, eight block area of downtown, and then everything south. It feels like everything, like east, west, and north are like, no. It's all that, like, you're talking about this, GNS lounge and like all this other stuff.

It's all south, like all of it. We can give you some norths that you want. Well, specifically, like this is something we talked, we touched on in the episode recorded at Batch, where the East Side was really not, people really didn't go there for a long time. It's only fairly recently with gentrification that you start to see a lot of stuff popping up there.

I feel like it really wasn't, there wasn't much to it back then. I mean, well, not much of the people went to, there was, we hung out definitely on the East Side, I don't know. We used to hang out with people over on the east side who would like brew their own beer up over off of like Caesar Chavez and Springdale. Yeah. When, when we were hanging on the east side like that, this is before the days of like Rio Rita and Liberty and Shangri-La and like the coolification of the east side. Yeah. And all that we hung out there as well too.

But yeah, I think also back then early on when we first, when Jeff and I both first moved here, we'd lived south of the river. We lived off of Riverside, which is a crazy part of Austin to me because normally when you go to a city, waterfront property is super expensive. It's like really built out condos and rich people living there. But you remember the damper apartment I lived in?

I think we talked about this briefly before. But it's like, I lived in that damper apartment when it's like, you walked out from the apartment complex and crossed the street and you were on the water. Like it's the Oracle headquarters now. You know, it's like, it's, yeah, like Oracle built their headquarters down there. But it's like, for the long time, it's like,

I lived there because it was the cheapest apartment I could find in Austin. And it was right on the river. It was just the way it was. Yeah, some of the shittiest apartments in Austin were on Lady Bird Lake or town Lake back then, right there east of Riverside, for sure. That is weird.

And it's still like, yeah. Yeah, and then even like West of 35, like out, why what used to be the Joe's crab shack and all that shit. Like these to be though, all those really run down apartments just west of there, but they bulldozed all of those and they like rebuilt them as like, lugs your quote unquote luxury apartments now. All that's really, really different as well.

We used to go there, remember? You were gonna go there. That's gonna be your next story, wasn't it? We knew someone. We knew someone over there who lived over in those apartments that got bulldozed like West up. It's like Cidercade now, right? Is what it is.

That used to be like a Joe's Crab Shack. And I don't remember, it used to be some other shit before that. It was a landry seafood before it was Jez. That's right. Over there, there's like those apartments. And before, you know, back when they were, they were shitty here.

We knew someone who lived over there. And for a while when Jeff and I worked at were shitty here, we knew someone who lived over there. And for a while, when Jeff and I worked at the call center, we tried to like supplement our income by like doing IT work on the side. Just like whatever, like if we knew people who needed help, like setting up a, like a small network or, you know, fixing computers or whatever, like, you know, we'd show up and we help people out, you know, try to give them a little bit of money. It's easy way to like get a little extra spending cash.

It was different, like a formal business or anything. It was just like friends get a little extra spending cash. It was never like a formal business or anything. It was just like friends or friends and stuff like that. And we got stiff to most of the time and didn't get paid. Yes, and specifically with the person we knew over there by that what's cider cade now, like paid us once and then never paid us again. She had a small business. What was the business that she didn't remember

what the business she did was? I mean, I can say it. It's what it was called. Oh, that's right, that's what it was. They're not around anymore, I don't think. But's b****** what it was called. Oh, that's right. That's what it was. They're not around anymore, I don't think. But yeah, we used to help them with tons of IT stuff. So she lived over there.

We helped her with some of her personal computer stuff, but her business was over like just East to 35 off of like between six and seven street. There's like that little brick office complex there, just East to 35. Another building that we toured and came very close to moving into, actually. It was a little small for what we needed

But her main office was over there and we used to go and do all kinds of stuff set up Computers and all kinds of things and yeah, she's she fucking stiffed us. She owed us like 600 bucks. She never paid us Which is a lot of my name. I know her name. I won't say that But yeah, but yeah, she we she had an apartment over there I remember and she got she she to credit, back when it was next to impossible, she got a virus on a Mac. And that was a fucking problem for Gus and I to fix. I remember that.

Dude, that was tough. Do you remember also like, we had to help, she wanted like a CD burner and set up in one of her computers at her office. And Todd Brunkett's great. Is this baby? This was back when it's like, CD burners were really expensive, and we had to get like this guzzly CD burner and you know, set it up and get it all.

So we bought like a brand new CD burner, set it up in our computer, and like when we plugged it in and booted the computer up, there was already a CD in this supposed, quote unquote brand new CD burner we had just bought, and it was a burned copy of Todd Runkens greatest hits that was in this brand new CD burner. That we bought on New Egg.

By the way, that's where we got it from. I remember that. And it came with a free Todd Rungren greatest hits burn. Yeah, that was weird. Like, that's back when the CD burner was a scuzzy device. Remember that way to make sure there was a scuzzy controller and plug all that shit in. Now it's like, first of all, who fucking needs a CD burner?

Who fucking needs an optical drive? Second of all, that's all much easier to do, much quicker to do nowadays. Thirdly, who the fuck likes Todd Rungren? Yeah. Hello, it's me, is a okay song. Dude, I could, I don't know if I could name three Todd Rungren songs.

Dang. I certainly was amazed to find out he had greatest hits, not just hits, or hits even. Todd Rungren, hit. What do you mean, he had, didn't he have bang on the drum all day? Remember that one? Was that one? Was it? He just wants to bang on the drum all day? Remember that one? Was that one a work?

He just wants to bang on the drum all day? That was Todd Rodriguez. I'm pretty sure that's Todd Rodriguez. See, I don't even know. I don't even know. Yeah, you could have been listening to Todd Rodriguez right now. Right now. Never even listened to the CD.

We threw it all out. No! Could have been your weekend anthem. Another thing that we did in that period that has been referenced 1,000 times through the history of Rooster Teeth and content is at that, we were doing, we were set up a network at that place that one day

there was a scale and Gus and I weighed our fists. And my fist weighs two pounds and Gus's fist weighs one pound and fuck Gus. You were pushing down on that scale. I got double, I got double the fist weight, dude. I don't know how you do that. How do you weigh just, that's what I contend to this day. Like you were pushing down on that.

You don't only weigh it is to cut your hand off. Cut your hand off and put it on the scale. That's the only way you know for sure. Sure, okay. Yeah, we had a lot of time. I think we were waiting for something to download. Like, oh, look, there's a postal scale. It's way our fists.

I don't know. We were bored. I still see her name come up every now and then in the news that woman, she owes us money. Still around? We ran into her at an E3 at one point. Oh! You remember that?

When we, like, Ristrathees was happening, we ran into her. She was working PR for a video game company. And we were like, you remember that when we like rooster cheese was happening, we ran into her. She was working PR for a video game company and we were like, you you're right. You're with interest. That's got to be like 630 bucks at this point. It's a yeah, it's a lot of money. It's been 20 years. Yeah. It's not a bitch. You know what? You know what? We'll just consider the dead paid. It's fine. It's a right off. It's been one seven years. We've had the story, the stories, we've made more than a 600 all of it up the story, I'm sure at this point.

We're telling the story for the first time right now, we haven't made any money off of it. Oh, no, I'm sure we've told this story before, haven't we? I don't think so. Well, maybe not. Let the audience know who's right. This is Anma, this is all new material. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. All new,. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. All new, absolutely unheard stuff from here. Yeah, weighing your fists, never talked about, got it.

Next gen gaming is built with Intel Core i9 processors. all the time or something? No, that's Lala's. Also a weird place. Carousel lounge is actually kind of close to Rooch Street. Oh, oh, I, you know, I've never been,

but I've driven by it a million times. I've just never gone in. It's like right off of Cameron just north of 51st. Yeah. One of my favorite dive bars in Austin, you go inside and the entire thing is painted and set up to look like a big top. So it's like all carnival themed.

There's actually, I don't think it works, but there's a little carousel in it inside. And it's only, it's a set up bar, so it's only beer and wine, and you can bring in liquor and then they'll pour it for you. But it is, from my estimation, only populated with like 80-year-old dudes talking about college basketball

and bitching about March madness. 365 days a year somehow. So it's a fantastic place. Worst of my time. I like it. I mean, I liked it back when I drank. There's also a place called, used to be called Poodle Dog Land.

I was gonna say great right to that. Jason Saldana who played Tucker on Red versus Blue and who's come up a couple of times on this probably already and who will probably be one of the first guests we ever have. He's got a great story that I'll steal right now, where he, I think it's called the Aristocat, right?

Aristocat. It's the Aristocat. Yeah, it's been changed. But he said that he went in there, I think it was all in the same day. He went there one time to meet a friend, and it was three in the afternoon, and there was an old dude,

like some Hagrid old dude, and some Hagrid old lady, literally fucking in the back of a bed of a pickup truck in front of it in broad daylight. And then he walked in to meet his friend, got like a beer in their talk and they decided to play pool. His friend goes to rack up the pool table and he picks up one of the pool balls and it's covered in blood, like it's been used violently.

And he just takes it over to the bartender and goes, uh, and the bartender literally goes, oh, yeah, let me get you a fresh one and just give it takes a bite. I can't give it another pool ball. It's that kind of place. It was that kind of. What it was. I don't know that it is anymore.

Fuck. It's actually a cool place. It's, uh, it's really, really cool on the inside. We used it as a bar in, uh, the series Crunch Time that really is, uh, like at the very beginning of Crunch Time, I play a bartender in that bar. And so if you've ever watched Crunch Time, it's like the like at the very beginning of Crunch Time, I play a bartender in that bar. And so if you've ever watched Crunch Time, it's like the bar at the very beginning of that series. The other bar you mentioned is kind of up north by,

I guess by Burnett, link Burnett and Anderson area, called LaLaws. And it's kind of a kitschy thing where you go in, it's Christmas year round there. They have it all set up as Christmas. They have it like, they have like shit, I used to do like when I was in grade school with Star Wars figures and fishing wire,

where they have a thing where if you open the front door, a bunch of ornaments come down and they go back up, because I've got like this little wire system set up when you go to the bathroom and stuff. But the, I don't know how true this is, but the urban legend has always been that it is designed like Christmas like that because it was just a regular bar,

and then it was owned by a husband and wife, and sometime in the late 70s on Christmas Eve, the husband got into a car accident and died, and the wife continued on with the bar and just decided to make it Christmas 236 five days a year. So she left it as it was when he died. I don't know if that's true or not,

but that's what's always been explained to me. I like it. It's a good story, good origin story. Not like a good story that someone died. I mean, that's terrible. I don't want to be on the record about that. Nobody thought that that's what you meant. No, that's what a great story. Like it's always Christmas there as like a love letter to the original and who died. You know, you're talking about all these small dive bars and we would be remiss not to mention Little Longhorn on that list. Another North Austin bar. Yeah.

And before I talk about Little Longhorn, I'm gonna do an aside here to Jeff. I saw a TV commercial for Little Longhorn last night. Really? Yeah. They were like, Do they refer to it as Little Longhorn or Ginny's? Or?

No, it's Little Longhorn. Ginny passed away like last year. Oh no. Yeah. little longhorn or Ginny's or? No, it's little longhorn. Ginny passed away like last year. Oh, no. Yeah, so it's not Ginny's little longhorn anymore. But maybe it is, they refer to it as little longhorn. Okay. They were promoting that they have live music on Tuesdays or something.

But in the whole commercial, they never say where little longhorn is. And that's what I was like, yeah. I was like, you have this commercial where you keep emphasizing this band I've never heard of and the members of the band and the name of the bar, but you never say, Hey, it's on Burnett. Anyway, to these the longhards been there forever.

It's on Burnett, South of Anderson, kind of by Houston Street, little north of North loop, I guess. Yeah. They're claimed to fame is on Sunday. I think it's on wait. I remember one day, though, maybe it's Mondays, one day of the week, I remember. Yeah. Their claim to fame is on Sunday. I think it's, wait, I don't know, one day, though, maybe it's Mondays, one day of the week, I remember.

It's Sundays. It's Sunday nights, but they can't be open on Sunday. I think they can. Why can't they be open on Sunday? No, you're right. It's like Texas has weird liquor laws. I'm just trying to remember. I do, but I think it might be, it might be a beer and wine bar anyway.

I don't, I don't remember. I drink alcohol. Look out there. But they're, they're claim to fame was they had chicken shit bingo. Yeah. Which they still do where, yeah, one day of the week, maybe Sunday night, maybe whatever. They put a big piece of plywood over the pool table and the plywood has grid.

It's like broken down, it's painted into grids and everyone bets money on, I'm gonna pick a grid coordinate and then they put a chicken and a giant cage on top of the plywood and whatever grid coordinate it shits in first, they win. So whoever put money on that grid coordinate wins the pot, basically. I'm surprised that's not a bigger deal.

Like the more people don't do that. Yeah, I mean, little long words in a place I know that does it, but I mean, that places, we went there before. I feel like that is a similar vibe to de-ing gyms in that like it's like regulars, you know, very basic, gonna drink beer out of a can. I mean, they have bottles actually a little longhorn, but it's not hostile. I never got that hostile feeling like I did at D&Gims. A little longhorn was always just like whatever, you know,

show up and they would be the place that people, Herman would walk into and the record would not scratch. A lot of these bars that you guys just listed are all along, like, I guess what you call the drag on, on, like, Burnett, right? Like, these are all kind of up and down this little, like, few miles stretch. Yeah. They're on, on Burnett. And I feel like Burnett is, again, the only part north where I drive up and down. And I feel like, oh, well, it's because it's where they filmed basic and fused, but like that's the part

that it's like, that's Old Austin. Like that feels kind of like the only part that sort of stood the test of time and there's weird stuff that's just sort of still hang, like top notch, like those places aren't everywhere, but they are all on Burnett. That's how it feels. I used to say that that stretcher Burnett and North,

we mentioned this in the epoch episode. There's also a stretcher North loop that feel like they retained that old, Austin, Charm and feel. But I feel like that section of Burnett is going through transformation currently. And it's losing a lot of that old character and has new character coming in.

Yeah, it's definitely amidst the change. The thing that's happening up there is that like an old business will get bought out or at least run out and they'll just bulldoze the whole block and build like a five, six story condo. And that's pretty, I would say like within 15 years burn it's just gonna be a road of like tall buildings, you know.

But there is, but you are definitely right, Eric. If you wanted to come to Austin like tomorrow for the first time ever and you wanted to experience Austin in the way it was when Gus and I discovered it in the 90s or before, your best bet is gonna be North Loop and Burnett in that area. For sure. You know, as long as we're on this North Austin kick,

this isn't a dive bar necessarily, but I don't think I've ever talked about this on any podcast we've done before. I want to explain why I have beef with Peterries. Here it comes. Peterries is a local burger place here in Austin. And I guess they started in Austin. That's like regional hour there in San Antonio and Houston and whatever, like they spread out.

The first Peterries was, I had beef from them from the start. Okay, so the first Peterries started as a drive from them from the start. Okay. So the first peteries started as a drive through down off of like Lamar and Barton Springs. It's still like a little drive through down there. And there used to be a snow cone stand in that parking lot called snow beach that I really liked and I would always go to. And when peteries got popular, they booted snow beach out of there. So snow beach had to move. And I was like, these motherfuckers, I was like, find whatever. So then, you know, I would go to the Snow Beach. There used to be a snow beach over like a 34th

and Guadalupe in the parking lot of a pawn shop, but the pawn shop closed and that Snow Beach has gone to. I think the only snow beach, is there still a snow beach on Barton Springs? But I wouldn't go down there. No, there was a snow beach. They put it in after this said dumb, but after the snow beach got shuttered because of fucking peteries, they moved to where the filling station used to be on Barton Springs, that something got bulldozed and it was just a parking lot and the snow beach was there for a while,

then it moved further down Barton Springs and it was across the street, but like one block north of shady grove. Yes. Kinda like right over there and it might still be there. I don't know. If it's there, that's the last one. Cause they had one over at the fiesta at 38 and 35.

But then that one closed and they renamed it snow bunny. They just put like bunny ears on top of the snow cone. Yeah. And then there was the one over at the pawn shop, but then that one closed. Anyway, snow beach was always my favorite snow cone place in Austin cause they shaved the ice really smooth. It wasn't like that chunky snow cone that you get.

Typically, it was a very smooth shaved ice. Anyway, I was mad at Peteris because they booted Snow Beach out from that location that I used to go to all the time. The burgers fine. I have no, if anything, the burgers are a little too small for me. That's my big complaint about Peteris. But I was willing to forgive him

because I was able to get my Snow Beach elsewhere. He was willing to forgive them. There, this is bringing up so many memories. I don't wanna interrupt Gus, but I've got some assigns here that are fucking hilarious. This is a long story, Jeff. Why do I buy up grievances? He's not kidding about,

if anything, I almost feel like he's underselling the snow beach craze of the late 90s early 2000s. It was the best. I guess early 2000s. It was the best. I guess our early 2000s. I like, it was like, it was a phenomenon. Like, Snow Beach opened up, and then within like four months, there were like 20 different Snow Beach ripoffs around Austin. It was like, it was like Austin trailer culture

before the trailer thing happened. And we were going to Snow Beach two or three times a week every week. We were fucking into it. The thing I was laughing about was not too late into this. A place called Bananarchy opened up. Oh, God. And Brandon, who were, Ben Affar Mahini used to work at Rooster Heath with us, was obsessed with Bananarchy.

And I remember he and Gus would get into heated fucking battles over snow, over snow cones versus banana. Banana. Banana. It's so overrated. It's the frozen banana covered in chocolate. Right. It gives a wheres. But it's maybe laugh to think about like, I've heard you, I've heard you fight this battle

before against a certain banana loving man. Yeah, and what's funny to me is, I feel like snow beach resulted in a mini proliferation of snow cone stands around Austin, which is weird because I feel like. Sure. Kasey's predates snow beach, but Kasey's has always only had that one location, like at airport and 51st Street. Kasey's great too, but snow beach for some reason did hit and they built these, or they had these trailers all over the place. Maybe it was more convenient. It's easier. That was easier to get to too. KC's is kind of hard. It's kind of situated in a weird way.

That's hard to drive up to. Yeah. Anyway, P Terry's, their burgers are fine. Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with the burgers. I think the burgers are maybe a little too small. But my favorite burger in town, Jeff, I think you introduced me to this place and it has been my favorite forever, has been Hillburtz. There's still a Hillburtz close to our studio off of Cameron.

Really, really love Hillburtz. It's like, they have, like, the Hilberts have been around since the late 70s, I think. And if you eat it, Hilberts, they've got like little, you know, like our story things that like, they put on the tables inside the restaurant. It's like, their goal when they started was they wanted to evoke that feeling of like going to your, you know, your, your, your childhood friends house and his dad's out on the grill, you know, flipping burgers. And, you know, you feel like that's like the greatest burger, like being a young kid and hanging out and just having a burger and someone's backyard. That's always like the field they've tried to evoke with their burgers. And I think they're excellent. I think they're really good.

Mighty Finds also really good. Might put Mighty Find and Hillbirds like neck and neck for best, like, conventional burgers. Every kind of burgers. But still at their core, very basic. I don't like complicated burgers. I don't like like hop-dotting. I think over-com like conventional burgers. Different kind of burgers. But still at their core, very basic. I don't like complicated burgers. I don't like like hop-dotting. I think over-complicates burgers in my opinion. But anyway, the peat, the peat here, fuck that place. The hillbirds I used to like to go to all the time was at Lamar, like kind of by Lamar and 30th or so.

Yeah. And that's the place I first went to hillbirds and I would always go there. It was like this rundown old building. There was like a tiny dining room out front That's why I first had like Frank's Red Hot Sauce They would put it out there because they serve they serve wings too And like oh, I'll give little Frank's Red Hot on my burger one of the charming things about it is it was 20 degrees hotter inside Than it was outside

365 days a year. It was that it could be a positive or a negative depending on the time of the year you went there and it was Everything inside was sticky with a hundred years of grease. Like, you didn't necessarily want to sit down, but it was so much ambiance. I talk about how this pot, I like the audio texture of this podcast. This place had like physical texture, like, you could feel like the years of love

and, you know, of toiling and work, hard work that had gone into in this place. You know what's there now? They bulldozed that, Hillbirds. You know what's there now, Eric? There's a fucking P Terry's there now. They bulldozed it. They bulldozed it. Second. Second location for P Terry's. They fucking got rid of Snow Beach. I was willing to forgive them. Then they got rid of my favorite burger place in town. They bulldozed the fucking Hilberts

and built a P-Terrys there. Hilberts had to move a little west. They moved over west of Lamar. You know, there's that little shopping complex by the Randals over there. It was like an old Taco Bell that they were in for a while, but they had to leave that. Now they're at another, a different old Taco Bell

off of Cameron close to the, close to Rooster Teeth, close to our studio. So Hilbert's at least still around, but my favorite Hilbert's location got bulldozed to make a fucking peteries. He's in the, once again, he is not, he's not overselling it. It was, it was a magical place.

Like, not to engage in hyperbole, but it was my very favorite place in Austin. Yeah. It was like walking into that place and you were walking into 1945, you were walking into 1970, you were walking in 1985, and you were walking into 2001 all at the same time. And it was like time sandwiched together. It was really fucking awesome. And you got a great burger.

And you got a great, great burger and mediocre service in a really targeted way. You know, Hillburt's is interesting because they named it that as an homage to other Austin businesses. Hillburt's is named that because they named it after Hills Cafe and Burt's Barbecue. Hillburt's is an amalgamation of two other restaurants.

They just took two restaurants that they liked, mashed the names together and it's like, oh, Hillbirds, hamburgers. I had no idea. Yeah. Can you just do that? They did. They've been around for 50 years now.

Did you wear his Burts barbecue? That's before my time. Burts barbecue, you were actually here at the time, but Burts barbecue used to be over by the university off of MLK, like at the Southwest corner of the university. You know how there's that fire station across from, well, it used to be a topical band. I don't know what it is now, like off of MLK.

Yeah, yeah. Like on the north side, there's condos and shit there now. There used to be a birch barbecue. That's where birch barbecue used to be. It burned down like 10, 15 years ago now. Really? Yeah, they may, I feel like I've read in the news recently that they reopened, like I think they opened a new location

like in the last couple months. They may be back, but it's a place that's been got, that was gone for a long time. I would put Hills Cafe right at the top of the list of historic Austin restaurants that I couldn't care less about. Yeah, same. It's like, it's like thread kills to me. Oh, thank God.

So fucking mediocre. I thought you were gonna be like, this is like, what a place. No, this is it. Okay, good. Okay. Hills Cafe, Arts it. Okay, good, okay. Hills Cafe, Arts Rib House, fucking, high knees, Spanish Village. Is art still around?

No, it's been gone for years. So I'm saying places that are gone. The building is still there. Hills Building is still there. The sign's still there. I haven't thought about arts in 15 years, maybe. Red Hills so overrated. So Hills, I mean, like, I wouldn't say

there's anything wrong necessarily with the food at Hills Cafe, right? It's just like, it's a chicken fry steak. It's fine. It's nothing fancy, you know. But it's maybe under season. That was my problem with the Redgills. I felt the Redgills food was always under season.

And maybe it's the same way in hills. I don't know. Maybe that's just like that style of cooking. Not my cup of tea. I used to go there every now and then Hills Cafe. For some reason, when I worked before Rooft's or Tee, when I worked at that other company downtown, we would just drive down Congress

and go to Hills Cafe every now and then. I don't know why we ever did that. How are you with Hoover's then? Same kind of thing. You know how I love Hoover's. You all made fun of me when we went to Thunderbird. So you do like Hoover's, but you say you do like Southern cooking.

You just say Hoover's actually knows how to use spice and flavor. Who is, who is fun? It makes me sick to my tummy. Hoover's is fine, it makes me sick. Aw, so heavy, heavy. Hoover, Hoover's is good. And I feel like it's a different approach compared to like

Hills Cafe or Threadgill Square, they didn't season anything. They probably never heard of soft at those places. Do you remember when Hoover's for a very brief time, had a wing trailer in front of it, across the street from it? Like, I forgot about that. I forgot about that. Yeah, I ate the shit out of those wings.

And that place only lasted like six minutes max. Do you remember right in that area, little east of there, that food trailer, Tinderland? Yeah, yeah. Tinderland was so good. That place has probably been gone 12, 14 years now. I think that place went away like 09, 2010, and it went away and they're like, don't worry, we're just moving. We'll be back. And they never came back. Do you remember what was there before

that was also fucking great? What was there before tenderland man bites dog. Oh, right. Then they moved over to the brick and mortar and then they went away. And then they became they became I think the brick and mortar turned into, uh, fill, uh, that filly cheese steak place. What was it called? Waist out, silly, deli. Waist out, silly. And it's gone now. That's gone to an house. Yeah. That's got, yeah. That just closed fairly recently. But tenderland was a, you could, but they, all they sold was pork tenderloin sandwiches, but they would take the tenderloin and they would hammer it out

so that it was like bigger than your face. Yeah. it was huge. Like the sandwich, the bun part looked ridiculously tight. It looked like a tiny hat on a giant head and the tenderloin itself was fucking massive. And it was so good. I guess it's like something they do in Iowa or someplace. Like it was, I think the owners were from Iowa or something. It's like a kind of food that's really popular up there. And they would sell it from the trailer here for a while.

And I loved going to that place. It was so awesome. I missed that place. Hey, do be a favor. While we're talking about old restaurants and bars and shit, I was remembering this place the other day, and I couldn't, I wasn't anywhere near it, so I didn't drive over and check it out.

But there used to be, I think it was a hot dog place, but maybe it's a hot dog place now, and it used to be a burger place. Over on the east side, on Cesar Chavez, where we went through a period in Rooster Teeth history, it was when we were in the downtown office, where once a week, and I want to say it was on Thursdays, we would have lunch with the audience. And anybody in the Austin area who was in the Rooster Teeth community, if they wanted to come have lunch with us, we were like, we'll be here at noon on Thursday. And

like sometimes two people would show up, sometimes 30 people would show up. We didn't do it for, I think we did it for a summer. Some probably do it like 10 times. But I think we went to that place more and more often than anywhere else. And I can't remember the name of it. Was it your mom's burgers? Yes, that's what it was.

It was something else. It was your mom's, that's what it was called. Yeah, that's what it was. It was, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it was over on these. That place was, I have thought about that place since we went there whenever that was back 2008, 2007 maybe.

Yeah, your mom's burgers, they had like, they would make a thing where they would give you a burger, but they would put the cheese inside the meat patty. So then when it cooked, it was like melty cheese all inside of the burger. You were like, it wasn't out spilling around. So it was like a pocket of like deliciousness. That place was really, that place was good.

That place was around for a couple of years. I think they moved to North, or to airport maybe for a while and then eventually went under. Kind of over where like house pizza was. I guess it was like solid and Betty, like kind of that area. Oh, I just read solid and Betty is closing.

Yeah, no. No, boomer. The owners were tiring. It's not like a, yeah. It's not a failure thing. The owners just like yeah, you were saying was it a hot dog place? Is it a hot dog place? A hot dog place now called mission dog mission dog. That's what it is. Yeah, I only know that just flat track is right. Flat track coffees like right around the corner. And I really like I would love to do an episode from from flat track, but there's not really a spot where we could probably get away from it. So we'd have to like

Find some we could just take a quick drive east or south to the river. I mean the funeral home is right next door So maybe it's probably quiet there. Yeah, we can do that too. They may not enjoy slapping mission dog I've been to mission dog a few times. It's I think it's okay. Mm-hmm. What's up? It's a hot dog I mean what what else is it gonna be I could be better than What I've had there I get a cream for's a hot dog? I mean, what else is it gonna be? I could be better than what I've had there. I get a craving for a good hot dog. What I think that I feel like a lot of hot dogs, man. I feel like I was talking to Eric about this the other day. There's no place that's not like go to anymore

for like a Chicago style hot dog into anymore. Like you could get those at Frank when I was open for many years, but now the Franks gone. I can't, there's no, I think there's like a trailer down South called like Riggly Dog or something, but I haven't been there yet. Yeah, that's it. That's like the only place.

The place I get my hot dogs from is called Doghouse, H-A-U-S, and it's pretty good, but they don't have anything close to a Chicago dog, and it's fucking ridiculous. It makes me miss Frank a lot, which Frank was a big part of Rooster 2, especially when we lived downtown. It was kind of a popular, where Frank was a big part of Ruchty too, especially when we lived downtown. It was a, it was kind of a popular, where we worked downtown.

It was a popular hot dog restaurant that was next to the original Alamo that was actually a restaurant. I think it was called Starlight before it was, I always remember it because Gus had a , not Gus, your Gus, Gavin had a crush on the lady who worked there before it was Frank. And then it closed down and became Frank and that lady wasn't there. And Gavin was really sad. But Frank was great because it was where divorce dads went with their kids on Saturday at three in the afternoon.

I know because Millie and I went there all the time at three in the afternoon on a Saturday because we'd have our Saturday hot dog. And it was like, you'd look around and be like, just a bunch of dudes with their one kid. That was Frank was like mega-64's favorite place when we come for like RTX. We would always go to Frank and then it closed and we did not know that it closed and we just kept looking for it. Yeah. They are like it's right here. It was right here. They had a bad habit of not paying their taxes. Yeah, I think they tried to expand to like they opened up a place in San Antonio that didn't work out and I think that hurt them. Yeah.

For a while, I think for a while, even after Frank closed, the menu at Schultz's beer garden was Frank. Oh, really? I think they were operating the kitchen and so it was all like Frank's stuff. I don't know if that might still be the case, but I know it was for a while. How long has Schultz's beer garden been open?

100 years maybe. That place has been there forever. It's like over there, close to like Texas Chilly Parlor. In the middle of fucking nowhere. It's not even that close to Texas Chilly Parlor. It's like five blocks. Yeah, I just always associate it being like in that area. It's really weird that those businesses are out there.

Like Texas Chilly Parlor is another one of those places that that's been there forever. And like that place shows up in movies and TV shows and like it's just an iconic location. Do you ever go there? I haven't been there in years. I probably still go there once a month. Really?

The place is fine. It was never like, it never was a big draw to me. It's fine. I got no beef with him. They didn't take my Hilbert's away. So they're fine in my book. It looks like if I'm reading this properly, 1866 is when Shultz's Beard Garden opened.

Yeah. Interesting thing about Shultz's Beard Garden, and I only know this because Emily knows somebody who like books there. Did you know that there's a bowling alley at Shultz's Beard Garden? No. Yeah, so.

They had bowling in 1866? It didn't come till the 1900s. Oh, okay. It was added. But there's like, you know, you go into shalters, like a restaurant, and then out back, there's the beer garden, and there's a lot of bands and shit play there during South Bay. And then in kind of the back corner, there's like a little two or three story brick building

that just looks like storage. Well, on the second floor of that building, it's a bowling alley, like a two lane bowling alley. And it's like, it's interesting. It's fully preserved. As it looks like it did in like the 1960s, still fully functional. I think they rented out for private events and stuff.

We should, we should definitely look into it someday. Bowling brunch, first Sunday of the month from noon to three. There you go. You make a reservation and you can do a bowling brunch at Shults. That's crazy. It's one of those things that you just don't know. But yeah. I don't know why, but you talking about shults as beer garden made me think about the green mesquite. Yeah, it used to be a barbecue place over on Barton Springs Road. I never,

the barbecue was always very mediocre. It was never very good. Is it gone? I haven't they, I thought they closed forever a guard. They're still around. No, no, no, no, it's still around. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. skeets. Yeah, Greema skeets still there. Why? How? That's a great question. I get right there with you, buddy. Right there with you. I remember once years ago, Jeff's already laughing. Once years ago, we were eating there. It was me, Jeff. I think your ex-wife was there, uh, Frank. And I don't remember who else. There might have been other people there as well. Frank joined later, by the way. He wasn't there the whole time. He just showed up and did this thing, which is, I think,

why it was so much more offensive to you. Oh, that's right. He wasn't there. We were there that he showed up. And like I said, I never really cared for the food there, but you could order a shiner, a beer, and they would give you this giant frozen glass and they'd pour your shiner in it.

So it was really cold, really frosty. It's like, I'm just going to drink beer and hang out here glass and the poor your shiner in it. So it was like really cold, really frosty. It's like, I'm just going to drink beer and hang out here. So I was, I had a, a shiner with me and I was, I was drinking this beer. Frank shows up, sits down. We were like on, like picnic tables. I'm sitting on one of them with, uh, Japanese XY. Frank, uh, like pops himself down across from me, sits down, looks at my glass and says, what's that?

And I say, Oh, it's a beer. It's a shiner. And Frank really doesn't drink at all, he doesn't drink at all. Hates the taste of alcohol, hates the feeling of being drunk. Doesn't want anything to do with beer or alcohol ever. But I guess this beer looked so enticing and delicious that he raised his right pinky into the air, stuck his right pinky into my beer, took it out,

and then sucked the beer off of his right pinky. And I remember just feeling like heat rising in my body up to my head, anger and fury, and just looking at him going, what the fuck did you just do? And he was, oh, that looked really good. I wanted to taste it. And I was like, why did you stick your fucking pinky in my drink? You know, I made him buy me another one. Like I threw that drink away.

I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I'm gonna admit in black when they get mad at the dog Frank. And I'm like, Frank, like that's what that's exactly what it sounded like. I was like, well, Smith and Tommy Lee Jones yelling at the dog. I'm kind of a germaphope. I'll admit it like I'm kind of a from a state of person kind of to watch Frank come in off the street and stick his dirty ass pinky into my drink into my beer and just like lick it off his pinky. Like I was not having that.

I was furious. I was so mad. Yeah. That was, that was one of the, I will never forget that day because it was one of the, I will never forget that day because it was one of the fastest like incitement to appear at there. So from you, it was pretty fascinating to behold. Just instantly ruined my day.

He wasn't there for 45 seconds before you were screaming at him. It was like so fast. Oh man, that's like the most, that might be the only memory I have of the green mosquito. Like the only like concrete. Yeah. This thing happened, the green mosquito. Just I have it, I haven't eaten there in probably 20 years.

It's been, I'm shocked to find out it's still open. I'll say this, they got pretty decent pecan pie, alamode, and there's a level of barbecue in Austin that's like green mosquito iron works, places like that that are all about the same. It's like if you had it, you're like, I don't, it was fine. I don't get why everybody fucking goes nuts about Austin barbecue.

I think we're just very spoiled because there is such a big barbecue culture, especially like if you, like Austin barbecue's fine. Well, aside Franklin, of course, everyone goes nuts about Franklin. Michael Wade's great. But like the big center of like brisket barbecue cultures,

like Southeast of Austin, out in the Lockhart, where you got places like crisis, smitties, blacks barbeque. Blacks is overrated, but yeah. Blacks, that's why I, like, I mean, I mentioned them last. I think crisis and smitties are just like head and shoulders above everything else. You know, I've been taking piloting lessons for a while

and when I was like learning how to practice, I would do a lot of landings over at Lockhart and in the Lockhart airport, they've got a sign right next to the runway that says barbecue capital of the world. It's just like welcome to Lockhart 50R which is the airport code. It's this barbecue capital of the world. Have you been to that place up north? What the fuck is it called? Is it called satellite? Satellite. No. Up Northwest, kind of like 620 area. Oh, I've heard of this place. Intergalactic or galaxy or something.

Intergalactic, galaxy, barbecuers, something. Texas Monthly just released their list of best barbecue restaurants in the state of which Austin kind of got hammered. We only got a few. And Lockhart didn't have any. Uh, that's cruel. Any more?

Well, the, the, the point was they're saying like the level has been raised so quickly. Got you. Across the state that they're not doing anything to innovate and Lockhart. And of course, they're not going to be good. They don't need to. They just make fucking good ass barbecue. Interstellar. Interstellar.

Interstellar. That place was listed as the second best barbecue restaurant in Texas. I believe that's my second favorite Christopher Nolan movie too. So I've never seen either interstellar or eating at the barbecue place. Oh, so maybe we should have an interstellar interstellar party. Yeah, I've been meaning to check it out because supposedly it's phenomenal. Yeah, I think I saw it on that same list you did. I've never been out there. That's that's kind of a haul. That's kind of far. Yeah, it's up from here. Yeah, if you don't really, if you drive out there, you're gonna eat shitty food at the oasis.

That's all I think about out in that area. I find myself up there fairly often because it's not. There's a trader Joe's up there that my girlfriend likes and then also the baseball card shops kind of up that way. There's like, there's other trader Joe's way closer. I agree. You can probably get cards at a bunch of different that way. It's like there's other trader Joe's way closer. I agree. You can probably get cards at a bunch of different places too. I wish you could.

There you go. We're kind of getting on to time here. So I want to wrap it up. This was a look, I know we didn't remote. And I know that's not ideal. I don't think we would have gotten an episode like this had it not been remote. Because I think it would have jogged memories

in terms of the area that we were in. But you guys going in a direction of food was to me, super interesting. Like hearing about all these restaurants and you're like, oh, what a go there, it's close. I fucked. So it was just that for about an hour, which is nice. I don't even think we scratched the surface either.

The only restaurants that are still open, we bashed. We feel like bad. I'm not gonna hear a percent. You need to get to bashed. We feel like bad men. Yeah, exactly. You need to get to hear Gus bitch about Nighthawk closing. Dude, are you out? Oh. No, I do want me to write it down for future topics. Yes, yes.

Yeah, Hawk closing. Got it. I really don't know. God. Okay, as we wrap it up, Jeff, do you have any guesses on the name for Anma? A new musical adventure. The Nighthawk also ended up on Burnett. It ended up on Burnett and then it closed.

Yeah. A new musical adventure, is that what you said? Yeah. No, no, that's not it. Okay, so I am, I'm digging around to see if I feel like there are any good guesses. I think it's this one. I think Bonnie Bear in the subreddit got it.

Anatomically accurate. Ooh. That's a good one. No, that's not it anatomically accurate. Ooh. That's a good one. No, that's not it. That's a good one. That's really good. Well, sorry, Bonnie Bear. That was, I thought fantastic.

I thought that was a very, very good guess. People at work have started pulling me aside and saying, hey, I've got a guess. Can I tell you? I was serious. Yeah, to be like, listen, if you guess it, do you really want me to tell you right now? Because this is going to be really anti-climactic. If you'd like, you just pulled me aside in the hall and you're asking me right now. So if someone at work pulls me aside and guesses it, do you really want me to tell you right now? Cause this is gonna be really anti-climactic. If you'd like, you just pulled me aside in the hall and you're asking me right now.

So if someone at work pulls me aside and guesses it, do I have to report back to the podcast? Yeah, I mean, that's fine. I would prefer, I'd like to hear the wrong guesses too. Just tell them to slack me whatever their guess is so that way I have it on hand. I'll do that, I'll do that. Yeah, and I think that'll be good.

So if you guys want to follow us at Animal Podcast, you can do that, but also, hopefully we have some merch coming out eventually. I think that the stuff that we got sent, the stuff that we saw this week from our design team, it's fucking cool. Like, and we've got the new Slingo shirt coming out pretty soon. Yeah.

Yeah. Slingo. Gotta keep up with this. Slingo. coming out pretty soon. That... Slingo! Gotta go up with this Slingo. Are you fucking kidding me, dude? Honestly, I want to make that a thing, man. I think that's how it's cool as hell. Slingo. Oh, man.

Well, this was a great episode of this podcast. I love doing Anma. And I was kind of like looking forward to it all day, so this is a fun way to cap off a little Friday going into the weekend. Yeah. You guys have any parting words, anything to leave people with as we wrap up this episode.

Eat it, Hilbert. Keep all your blinds closed, because when Irkaut cuts the power, you're gonna need to keep it as dark and cool as possible in your domiciles. That's a good call. There you go. All right, well thank you guys.

We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye. Bye. Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples? All right, example. Together in Trempathos, Characombs,
