Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all kinds of good stuff. Lots of stuff going on. But this is now we're back to a Guestless episode. So, radio coffee. We should have that dog on. There's like a dog that's walking around that fucking rules. Oh, that cool dog? Yeah, that dog's so cool.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, it's leaving. Yeah. That dog is a good judge of walking around that fucking rules. Oh, that cool dog? Yeah, that dog's so cool. Oh, it's leaving. That dog is a good judge of character. I was gonna try to get a picture, but I saw he was taking a walk. Like they just got him locked up now. Well, good morning, guys. Hey. So, we were driving down here.
Starting point is 00:02:19 This is kind of far from our studio. The studio we work at is pretty central, maybe a little north of central and radio is pretty far south so we were talking a bit in the car and the way down here reminiscing about old places and we started talking about an old restaurant that we used to go to that's close, it's no longer around, it was there for a year, is there for a decade? It must have closed, I must have still been married to Sarah when it closed.
Starting point is 00:02:46 No, it closed like five years ago or six years ago. I don't think it was when it closed. It must have closed earlier than that. It was not that long ago. I'm gonna look at that. They only closed because of the typical Austin story. Their property tax bill started going high and became untenable.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Yeah, that sounds right. What was the name of the place? El Gayo. It was like a Mexican food place. Yeah, it was a Mexican restaurant. It's over on South Congress. It's by where I got like great outdoors and I got a dorsis. I am so sorry.
Starting point is 00:03:12 You are right. It closed in 2017. Yeah. I should have been frequenting it all those years. In my head, it was already gone. No, no, no. They called it favorite restaurant. It was a fairly recent.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And it was like an old-style Mexican restaurant. You don't really get them like that anymore where you walk in and there's like a glass counter with like little Mexican candy. That's where you get the best pralines. Yeah. And stuff like that. Yeah, there's like a basket of pralines on top of it and then someone like, you know, takes you into the restaurant and you sit down.
Starting point is 00:03:38 It's all, it used to be, it seemed like it was mainly like older people who always ate there. And it was the kind of place that when the plates come out, like the plate is scalding hot, and you can't touch it because the whole thing was just in the oven. But all over the menu, they had little signs warning you, no substitutions, no changes. And we now and then we would take,
Starting point is 00:04:00 like if we had, it's back when we were at the call center, if we had clients from out of town, we'd take them over to El Gayo to eat. We'd always tell them like, hey, no substitutions, you can't change anything. And I felt like they always eat it as a challenge. Yeah. They were always like, oh yeah, okay, yeah, sure, whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:11 And they would try to like change something. You Jeff, you also actually tried to change things all the time, right? Early on I did. I learned my lesson and I adjusted accordingly. It's not only Sarah Cream, and they put Sarah Cream on most stuff. And so I'd be like, I'll take the seasons a lot
Starting point is 00:04:24 as well as kind of get it without Sarah Cream. And the lady would go, you'll like it. You'll like it with the Sarah Cream. Just trust me. We know what we're doing here. I'm like, okay. And she's just walk away. I really don't like Sarah Cream.
Starting point is 00:04:35 She's like, you're gonna like it. It was always, I felt like we always had that same waitress too. It was always that same slightly older lady who would always take our order there. Did you ever end up liking it? No, I just scooted to the side, but you learn your lesson pretty quick. You the order something different or keep your mouth shut. Just like when we ordered a varicose here and Jeff said, Jeff got no avocado. And then I got Jeff's avocado.
Starting point is 00:04:59 The guy, the guy was like, yeah, you're going to love it. It was a great restaurant though. It was one of those like, you go and you can eat for like eight dollars and you leave full and probably sick, a little sick, like a brick of cheese in your stomach. And just happy. But yeah, it's definitely like that old style.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I feel like you don't see them like that anymore. Everything tries to be a lot more modern or fusion-y. This is very like, of its time. Yeah. That's a good point. Everything is fusion now. Yeah, it's terrible. It's like, I watch King of the Hill all the time. There's an ol' episode of King of the Hill
Starting point is 00:05:35 where Hank Hill's talking about Christian rock. Yeah. And he says, you're not making religion better and you're making rock and roll worse. Ha, ha, ha. It's like, sometimes there's no point in fusing two things together. Sometimes the independent things are fine the way they are. And El Gai was definitely signing up.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I mean we talk, we say that, but it's not around anymore. But it was there for like, I want it, it was probably up a lot. It was just 50 years or something. Yeah, they might have just retired and wanted to be done. A lot of times when business is closed, it isn't because they're failing. It's because they just want to be done. And they of times when businesses close, it isn't because they're failing, it's because they just wanna be done and they don't have like a family to pass it down to
Starting point is 00:06:09 that wants to run it. Yeah. Or they don't want to sell it to a stranger that and then it has the name of all your hard work. Yeah. I get that. It's like the bear. The washer bear?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Yeah, oh, the TV show the bear. Yeah. I thought you were talking about a bear. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because there's an advertising agency in Austin called the bear. I don't know, I wasn't sure what you were talking about. Oh, no, no, no, the Hulu show, the Bear. OK. Or a production company, maybe not advertising. No, no.
Starting point is 00:06:30 But Southby's going on. It's stuck up on me this year. I feel like back in 2020, Southby canceled. And it was kind of at the start of the pandemic. And it was one of the early harbingers of what was to come come and they didn't have it in 2021. So I guess it came back last year in kind of a limited fashion. It's back like in full swing this year. So I feel like I fell out of rhythm with it. Yeah and just it kind of snuck up and it really takes over the city for a week and a half but it's over the course of two weekends and it's just everywhere. Like
Starting point is 00:07:04 traffic is gridlocked downtown, and there's a lot more people in a lot of the places in Central Austin. It's like, if you're the type of person who has friends, you hear from them this time of year because they're visiting Austin around South Byer, ACL. It's a really interesting phenomenon of South By.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And it's dialed back from where it was I would say at its worst maybe around 2015 2016 when it was the most when it was the biggest and the most corporate and that was when like Literally every parking lot in town and every gas station in town and every pita pit in town I'm reference that because the pita pit downstairs should most had shows. Yeah, we talked, yeah. Had like three dudes in a metal band playing, you know, or like a bluegrass band playing.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And like you couldn't get away from it. I feel like it's dialed back enough now. It's not, it's not as in your face as it used to be. But it has changed so much. Do you remember the first South Buy you went to? It probably wasn't until much later. I avoided South by until we started doing stuff with it, with Rooster T.
Starting point is 00:08:10 So I probably didn't go to South by until 04 or 05. Yeah, somewhere around there. Just because living here, it's just the kind, you either embraced it or went to all the shows or you avoided it because I made everything super crowded. I was in the avoid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:24 No. Shocking, I know. I was in the avoid. Yeah. Yeah. Shocking, I know. I think the first one I went to, everybody has their story about how cheap their badge was used to be, right? I think the first time I went was 95 or 96. And I bought a, I didn't even know what it was, but I really liked this band back in the day
Starting point is 00:08:39 called Less Than Jake. It's like a Scott Punk band. And they were playing a show in Austin. It was at South By. So I had to buy a South By wrist band. The CM was like 36 bucks. And then I got in to see like 4,000 other shows and it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:08:50 It's a good, good spending of 36 bucks. It was a good spending of $36. I don't know what that thing costs now, but it's got to be in the $1,500 range probably. I don't know, probably. Yeah, probably. That makes sense. But there's a lot of, I feel like it definitely started as a music show, right?
Starting point is 00:09:05 Yeah, and then I think they added on interactive and probably film and then interactive. But I feel like it's definitely well known for the film aspect now as well. There's a lot of movie premieres going on, a lot of big activations as the industry calls it. Like a regarding film. Terry Cruz, driving on yesterday. As his president Kamacho from uh I don't know what it was for for me the actress that's what I was gonna ask you
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah I know what it's for I don't need a reference to a 20 year old movie I was hoping you guys knew because it was I don't understand why you would do that now I like that dude I didn't like that movie it seems like a weird stunt as I didn't really I don't know what was wrong with the theocracy
Starting point is 00:09:43 I think it was a very good movie Yeah I didn't like it at the, I don't know. What was wrong with the geography? I think it was a very good movie. Yeah, I didn't like it at the time. I don't think Mike Judge liked it. He was miserable because the studio wouldn't stay out of it. Like he was, I've read stories about Mike Judge on that film wanting to quit because the studio wouldn't quit fucking with it. And the movie that came out wasn't anywhere near
Starting point is 00:09:58 what he wanted. Interesting. I wasn't a big fan, personally. I wouldn't mind going back and rewatching it now. I've rewatched it like a year or two ago. Yeah. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah. Definitely not his best work, but it's fine. It's a it's almost difficult to watch at this point. Just crazy because it was too prescient to to a little too ahead of its time and it is it's a shame how
Starting point is 00:10:22 prescient it was. Yeah, even what, like if I watch SNL and like, you know, they're on doing like political jokes or things like that. I'm like, man, I can't, I can't anymore. It's a little too much. Sign Nancy Pelosi yesterday. I saw her convoy. Yeah. She's in town.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Jogga coffee for Southbutton. I just saw like eight SUVs driving on the road with their lights on. Oh, I'm pretty sure it was her. Black SUVs. Yeah. Okay, I was like down by where Hooters used to be. Okay. The reference spots you guys have for this fucking town.
Starting point is 00:10:59 It's over at a reverse side in Barsprings. I know exactly what he's talking about. Exactly what I'm talking about. He knows the spot that I saw. The hooters that Charles Schultz owned? Yeah, the hooters at the Schultz family owned. Do you know that? The peanuts family and hooters?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Well, they owned the land that that hooters was on. It's Snoopy owned a hooters. Yeah, Snoopy and Woodstock owned a hooters. They owned the land that the hooters was on. Yeah, and then they sold it and now there's condos there. Yeah. The building kind of looks like a router. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Oh, I don't think I've ever painted it in front of you. Yeah, it looks like a 2015 router, or like, I don't remember any of the failed video game consoles, like O'Wea or On Live or those, but like one of those that was trying to compete with PlayStation. That part of town, man, if you've ever, if you ever live in Austin and you ever have to do
Starting point is 00:11:48 like home remodeling and renovation, you know that that's right by the permit office. It's right down there. Oh, I know exactly where it is. Yeah, so yeah. It's a group. You become very, That's where Snoopy Hondo works.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah, right across the street from there. Oh, a little catty corner to it. You're very familiar with that fucking building, trying to get anything done around here. Like goddamn nightmare. Yeah, the rules about that, I don't know how much you pay attention. The rules about that are so finicky and so weird. Like the difference between a remodel and a tear down. So if you ever drive, why you leave the door, you leave like one, yeah, you leave like one wall up and you're like, it's not a tear down. It's a remodel. Look, there's still a wall. And then the way it works is when
Starting point is 00:12:28 your three quarters of the way through construction, that accidentally falls down. Right. And you're like, oh, no, guess I got a bit rebuild that too. Damn it. We were trying to preserve it. Yeah, it's like, oh, it's it's it's funny that it's so transparent. And that's just that's just the way it works. Like, there's so many seemingly empty lots you'll drive by around here. They just have like one wall held up by two by fours. Yeah. Well, everything else has been raised. You're like, I know what's going on here. I wonder if it's like that and everybody else's town or if that's just an awesome thing.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I don't remember seeing that other places. I feel like it's also maybe the land code or the code change in general. I feel like it wasn't like that in the past. I feel like that's in the last five, 10 years kind of thing where you see just one wall up on an empty lot. It also seems to like any lot that, like almost any tear down becomes an A, B now.
Starting point is 00:13:21 And I think that that's, there's like ordinance change that requires it. If you're a certain distance from a major road, I think you have to do an A, B for certain units. I think it's their work around to try to get more housing density without actually addressing the real problem. And plus the developers can make more money.
Starting point is 00:13:41 So you take a lot and you sell two houses on it. It's just always interesting to see which neighborhoods adhere to that and which don't, you know? I looked at a house years ago before about my first house. This would have been back in 2009. And I was on a mission to find the cheapest house in Austin. And I looked at a lot of really dumpy places. But one house I looked at was an E.B. like that.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And they didn't share a wall. The house I looked at was a house in the backyard of another house. And it was a cute little house. And it had three bomb shelters. Really? Yeah, if you walked out the back door. Was it a new house? No, it was a remodeled old house. And if you walked, they left one wall up.
Starting point is 00:14:26 If you walked out the back door and then looked down, there was a bomb shelter right there. And then if you walked out into the front yard, there were two different like big steel plates you could lift up that went down to another bomb shelter. So there were three hatches, but I think they were actually only two bomb shelters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Under this house. That's cool though. Yeah, but. But you didn't buy it. I didn't buy it. The problem was that you had to drive through the other houses yard to get to your house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:52 In the back, there was lots of weird quirky houses like that. That's like every house on the east side now. It's like. You either have a house in your backyard or a house in your front yard. Yeah. Depending on which one you live in. But you know, I was born, I'm gonna rewind just a bit here
Starting point is 00:15:08 except for I'll talk about something. I was born here in Austin and my parents were college students when I was born and the first place I ever lived in Austin was right there next to El Gayo, that restaurant we were talking about. There's a little apartment complex that's like right next to it, it's not open anymore. So that's what you lived on?
Starting point is 00:15:24 When you were born. Yeah, it's like all fenced off. It's not open anymore. So that's where you live when you were born. Yeah. It's like all fenced off. I think they're going to tear down a Bill Condo's there. But that's the very first place. My very first apartment in Austin. I forgot out of my mom was that was a part of the move that you moved out of your mom. You should ask your mom if you ever went to El Gayo as a baby,
Starting point is 00:15:45 as a newborn or a toddler. I don't think so, because I've been there with her. And we've eaten there and she never brought it up. I feel like it's something she would have brought up. So I'm gonna say no, probably not. No pictures of me there back then, but definitely pictures of some of the other apartments that I had lived in around Austin back then
Starting point is 00:16:02 in the late 70s. That's wild. I have memories of one. We lived off of Old Torf for a while, when I was really small, and I have memories of that one. I remember, it's the things you remember when you were a little kid. Yeah. I remember watching the monsters a lot there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:18 That's like, I remember watching the monster that I remember playing with like a little radio control car that I had. What is your, what time does it say the day of a different podcast? What's your earliest memory? They might be that because I was really young at that time. I remember watching the monsters and playing with this little radio control car. I remember I have a vague memory of a shopping center. And when I described it to my mom, she said it was the Hancock Center.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Oh wow. But I guess it looked different back then because that's why I didn't recognize it. I was like, I was describing these planters and like what I remember. And she's like, oh, it's like, that's what the Hancock Center used to look like, but it doesn't look like that anymore. So like, those are some of my earliest memories.
Starting point is 00:16:53 You know what's wild about that Hancock Center? You know there's that big ass seers that close down there? It was there forever. We looked at that as a potential building for RT for a while. It has a fucking movie theater under it. A full movie theater under it. Yes, that's Sears.
Starting point is 00:17:08 This entire time has had like a, what are two screen movie theater under it that we would have access to if we had it every time we go to Hancock Center, I think about how that was almost where we go. Yeah, it was like, man, when I first heard that that was a place you're looking at, I'm like, I was praying. I'm like, that would be so sick. You're walking distance to a Wendy's?
Starting point is 00:17:31 Oh man. And a Jimmy John's? Oh, no, Jimmy, that's a judge of my jersey. Mike's right there. And the freebirds and the HB. Yeah. Like, it's such a, it's so big and, fuck, nothing is there. It is still empty. They're gonna renovate it's gonna become
Starting point is 00:17:52 E.T.B. They're gonna rebuild a handcock center E.T.B. over there. Are they really? Yeah, what? Yeah, so what so what's the old HB gonna be it's all gonna be HB? Oh, thank God They're gonna you know all those little businesses in between they're gonna get rid of all of those and then it's just gonna I don't know if you're joking No, dude that is that rules Dude, that is, that rules. That's rules. So hard, that parking lot for that HEB sucks. If it takes all of that sears space and you have all of that parking and everything around it, that's the only HEB I'm ever gonna go to.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You know what they call that HEB? Huh? Club HEB, because it's where all the college students hang out and work. Oh wow, it is. That's a very college. You see it now. When you go there next time, you'd be like, oh, this really is Club HV.
Starting point is 00:18:30 That's funny. Every time I had an intern and we'd be like, oh, we need this or that, that's the HV that they would go to. Because I think it's the only one that they're like familiar with. Unless they were students who lived off a riverside. Then it's the Riverside HV. I hate that HV. It's nice now.
Starting point is 00:18:45 They rebuilt it. Since we, since we, we like that now. I was an Albertans guy back then. Oh God. Yeah, it's over there across Pleasant Valley from where the HB is now. I didn't understand HB until I moved here because it was something that I heard people talk about.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Yeah, I can talk about it or whatever. Love it. They moved here and went like, oh, this is just a better grocery store. Yeah. It like, I like a Ralph, this is just a better grocery store. Yeah, it like I Like I like a Ralph's like a Vaughn's I'm a common Albert's and this guy that those are all fine And then now you go to HB you go. This is just a just a little bit better Yeah, it has the things in a grocery store that I didn't know that I wanted and they're all right there
Starting point is 00:19:19 And you can tell they care they give a shit about Texas. Yeah, I really the government really is on them to they care, they give a shit about Texas. Yeah, I really do. The government really leads on them to privatize his ass to response. It goes to the HB. Politically, she's a side. HB does a lot of good for the state. Yeah, it's a, it's great.
Starting point is 00:19:33 It really like, you know, you live in Minnesota and you're listening to this and you're like, it's a fucking grocery store. Yeah, but you probably have a thing like that in your hometown where you're like, oh, this is that business that does this thing. It's the same thing. Except it's statewide.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Except Dallas. I think they don't have any. I don't think they have any. Have you, have you been to the like Austin Boulevard HB? and we were like, oh, this is that business that does this thing? It's the same thing. You accepted it, statewide. Except Dallas. I think they don't have any of these. I don't think they have any. Have you been to the like Austin Boulevard HB? Yeah, I went there like a couple days after they opened. It's confusing. Really?
Starting point is 00:19:53 I haven't been yet. So what do you mean it's confusing? So like that area, they used to be a randles there and they tore it down. It was not a very big parking lot. So they filled the entire lot with HB. So all the parking is underground in a garage now. Okay. Very California style. Yeah. So you park and then you take an escalator up and then you think you're in the HEB, but you're not. That's just the level with the pharmacy and a, restaurant. Ha! Ha! Ha! So then you have to take the escalator up again. And then it's, you're, then you're in the HB.
Starting point is 00:20:29 It's dependent on how low you parked your mind up to take it another time. Okay. And then that's like the whole HB. And then you come out and you have to, by the way, you have to take, well, I guess there's an elevator. You have to take an elevator escalator up the whole way. And then you come out and you cannot take the escalator
Starting point is 00:20:44 back down. I need to take that down. You have to cannot take the escalator back down. I get that down. You have to either take the stairs or the elevator. And the hole isn't there a cart escalator? Yes. But there is a cart escalator that goes up. I didn't see one that goes down. I don't know if I just didn't see it or if it wasn't working.
Starting point is 00:20:58 The whole thing goes down. The one that holds, you can put your cart on and stand with it. Yeah, it's awesome. The cart escalator at HUB is a separate escalator for your cart. I don't like that. I don't like that. Because if it breaks, you can't take your cart up.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Have you seen it happen yet? No, I went like two days after you. But it could happen. I've seen it happen. How do you really? Not there, but yeah, there was a target back in my hometown that had that. It was the escalator that you go up in the separate cart escalator
Starting point is 00:21:22 that you take it up. And then you just keep going and the thing in the middle breaks. And then you just go, uh-huh, well shit there it goes. And then all of your stuff from the first floor is stuck in between floors and you stand there while somebody does not come to help you. Yeah. And at least with like the whole food when it's a ramp. So it still works if it's not working.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Uh-huh. So I'm just a little concerned about that. I don't know, I only went once, it was new, it was crowded, I was just overwhelmed. Yeah, I hear you. I'm excited to check it, I don't want to make an event out of it when I go. I want to be a part from it right now, we get over there, I mean we're kind of far but we're right by the highway, you're going to be real quick. Do you like a field trip?
Starting point is 00:21:59 I think they have a coffee shop there. Oh, we're still an episode there. Okay. If not, it's right by Mozart's. We should do Mozart's. Yeah, we need to do Mozart's on the list. I will say last time I went to a grocery store with you, there was a different third person,
Starting point is 00:22:13 and he fucked up the whole thing. I don't have that same kind of despair or distress with Gus, so. I don't wanna, I don't wanna re-litigate old issues, but I'm so glad you were as frustrated as I was with that exchange Gavin came up with a game I had no idea who you were talking about Gavin came up with a game and then when we kept asking him the rules He came up with a game and then didn't tell us about it and an Andrew told us about the game And we all thought it was Andrew's game and got and had many conversations with Gavin around it
Starting point is 00:22:43 Gavin let us all think it was Andrew's game and had many conversations with Gavin around it. Gavin let us all think it was Andrew's game. We'd ask him direct questions and then I'll go like, well, I guess we'll have to wait for Andrew. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, All time.

I will say, so we're seeing all the praises of HB.
Starting point is 00:24:39 They're great. I do have one small issue with them. OK. They make many store products, like store HB versions of other products. For many creations. That is cheaper, it's just the store brand. They recently, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:24:56 I recently noticed that they have a store brand, Taki's, it's no good. It's okay. Really? Look at the Kitos. Look at the Kitos. I have the same reaction you did there, and then I bought them and I tried them and I was like, oh no, I'm not talking.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I don't think I've ever eaten a toki in my life but my daughter inhales them. So good. She's obsessed with spicy tockies. Are y'all spicy? What? They're in a blue bag, the blue ones. Oh, those are like the scorpion?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Is that what they call? Those are like the extreme ones. I don't know. You said the blue bag in my mouth started walking. They're blue, like the extreme ones. I don't know. You said the blue bag in my mouth started walking. Blue. I don't know. I was the original. That's my favorite. Yeah. I stick with the classic. That's like what you would get in like on break in high school. And like Sabrina and all of her friends would go and get like the
Starting point is 00:25:41 talkies and then they would like eat them loudly in class. Yeah. I feel like growing up on the border, all of the snacks we would get from Mexico was all like shit that would melt the enamel off your teeth. It was all like, Luca, and Sallimone, and shit like that. I remember one time in college, I had gone home for a break,
Starting point is 00:25:59 I don't know if it's spring break or something. I came back with a bunch of Mexican snacks and candy for all my roommates. And one of them was, I was eating with like a bunch of Mexican snacks and candy for all my roommates. And one of them was like I was eating like a salimone which is just like salt and like a lime concentrate. It's like really, really intense and one of my roommates went to try it and I gave him one. And I remember he put it in his mouth and his like drool just started dripping out of his mouth and he was like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:26:21 What are you doing? What are you doing? I mean, he was so fucking terrified. That stuff is the best. With that, and it's like, like, Temerindo, so, and like, you just, like, people just don't know what, like, all these other flavors are.
Starting point is 00:26:36 And I feel like it's more globalized now. I feel like a lot of those things start at the border and then work kind of like they go. This thing worked, we'll move it up and they can go other places now, but man, it's like extreme talkies. It's true, like high school in Alabama and the 90s, those things did not exist to us.
Starting point is 00:26:50 We had Andy Caps, Flamin' Hot Cheddar Fries. That's what we ate. I rose obsessed with those. I saw those in a, in, uh, vending machines a couple of times, but. Get some, dude. They got the regular ones, get the Flamin' Hot or the fuck,
Starting point is 00:27:04 they're still around, I'm sure. I meant back then, yeah. Andy Cap's still shilling his cheddar fries. He, they got Hates's wife. There he goes. Is that comic still around? I assume so. He didn't get Scott Adams to,
Starting point is 00:27:15 or I still didn't Scott Adams himself. He kept his goddamn mouth shut. I bet Andy Cap has some strong views about immigrants. I'm just saying that right now. I think, if the cap is any indication, I think he Cap has some strong views about immigrants. I'm just saying that right now. I think if the campus any indication, I think he's got some hot. That hat of a man who's got some opinions. He's got some hot takes that I think to go.
Starting point is 00:27:34 He's got hot takes and even hotter chatter fries. So the South by episode is what this is. I went to a South by I did one panel at South by episode is what this is. Instead of talking about HV all the way. I went to a South by, I did one panel at South by last year. I think you were on it too. We did the Marriott. Oh, we did a panel to seven people at the Marriott. I remember that.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, people that showed up are really into it. Yeah. It was kind of a weird thing where we didn't really promote it because at first it was like bad required and then like the day before they're like oh no bad required. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like okay so change everything that we've been doing. Okay so a few people showed up. Our history with South by his interesting because you know we're not 20 years old. I feel a couple of weeks shy of 20 years old. We're essentially 20 years old. And hey. Shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:28:27 And I'll do it. I'm, well, I'll tell you a story a second. And we have gone through, we've run the gamut of being like the fresh, new internet company, Bella the Ball, and then dip down in, and then not a new story anymore. And then the next wave where we were, we were doing it independently and growing
Starting point is 00:28:48 and becoming an animation studio in America and then we had that kind of heat and then we've kind of, we've kind of, we've kind of like a snake a little bit. Yeah. And so we've been very like, Southby's very excited to have us to Southby's being, like we don't know who you are.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You know, that the course of our history and I'm not happy to be on the other end of it. Like, we did a lot of South by work over the years, and I don't really know what we, not just not meant to be negative for South by, but I don't know what it got us at any point. I think it's the intangible stuff, right? It's like, caches stuff, I guess.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah, it's the exposure, it's the headlines. It's not, the car's driving by with its trunk open. Barney can say he did a keynote. Well, it's exciting. It's like, people, other people who read the headlines or who read the stories, you know, it's like just getting your name, keeping your name in the conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah. That's really what it boils down to. It's not the direct thing that happens in the room. It's the conversation that happens about the room. I think it's just that like being in that conversation, I get it, but I just don't know what that has, like we've never been cool to that crowd. We've only, I've never been clear here.
Starting point is 00:29:50 The only conversation we need to be a part of is the conversation of the audience, you know? I feel like looking back over the body of 20 years of work of Rooster, I just wonder what are our investment in some of those things got us. I felt like it was never, I don't regret it.
Starting point is 00:30:05 It was never like it was a ton of work to prepare for those necessarily. It's not like we had to do the other core part of our work suffered for, not by preparation. So I don't know that in necessarily derailed anything. It's just, I always felt like it was an additive thing. I guess so, yeah. You never know, man. I mean, it's an additive thing. I guess so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:26 You never know, man. I mean, that's unquantifiable. Yeah, like, what did we get? Some gig or some job because someone read a headline about us, it's out by like, or did we bump into the right person and we didn't realize it at the time? It's totally true.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It's the same way it was like, if you look at all the conventions we did back in the old days when you and our humping palates across the country left and right, we made next to no money doing those. We didn't lose money. We more than broke even, but we never made money. We paid for the trip. And we always thought that it was worth it for community outreach so that you could go
Starting point is 00:30:59 in and shake the hand of and take a photo with three or 400 people in Orlando that were Rooster Teeth fans or Baltimore or wherever. And I guess maybe in the same way it's worth it in that respect. It's just like, yeah. I saw a post online the other day by someone that was like, share your meeting of Ristth person experience. Oh, yeah. And I was like, oh my God, I hope I was never a dictator. But it was a lot of really positive stuff. All of them.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, all of them. And I really reinforced what you're talking about. Like a lot of people who remember meeting someone, having like a positive experience, and like really, I don't just really going away from it with good feelings and I feel like that goes a long way and I wish that we still did that to, I'll do that more to an exciting thing.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I just feel like that is intrinsically so much more valuable than having a 45 minute panel with a fader for sure. Absolutely. Absolutely. The cotton L lounge or whatever. That's what I was driving at when, it was a few episodes ago, like before I break, talking about like, what's next do we take this on the road?
Starting point is 00:32:08 Is this something else? Like, is it convention appearances? Is it a live show where you can like meet and shake hands and all that stuff, you know? It's like, that stuff is fun. Here's the thing. All through my 20s, we did that with Mega 64 and did that every weekend.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I mean, it was like constant travel and people were like, oh, I'm so jealous, you get a travel all the time. It's like, you have no idea. You have no idea what goes into this. It is fun, but you have no idea what goes into this. And then eventually you kind of like, you get sort of jaded to it
Starting point is 00:32:38 and then it becomes just a thing you have to do and then you stop doing it. And now I feel like we're all on the other side where it's like shit, I kind of miss that, but if there's a way where I can do it in a way that's more beneficial without having to go argue with a union guy to get a palette, like what is that version of it?
Starting point is 00:32:57 Plus I think coming out after the past couple years of pandemic worry and isolation, it's, I'm still a little trepiditious about it, but we're definitely on the end of it where it's getting more comfortable and more everyday again. Yeah. You and I did a convention last year,
Starting point is 00:33:18 which we don't ever do, but we did won in Vegas together. And it was so much fun. It was. It really was. It was such a, like, well, first off, the way we get to do conventions now, compared to the way we used to do them,
Starting point is 00:33:29 totally the same way. Night and day. Now, Gus and I, just, we, we're very fortunate that we just get to show up and sit behind a booth and meet people. And meet people. We still try to have fun. We still try to have fun.
Starting point is 00:33:41 We still try to give people, we always wanted to give people, like, a 30-second comedy show. We still try to give people, we always wanted to give people like a 30 second comedy show. Yeah. It was what you and I always, I think like strove to do. Right. And it just gives people like a really hard, funny 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:33:55 And I do love that. I love that little show you and I used to do in the booth together. And it was fun to get to do it again. We tried to have fun with our travel companions too. We were, there was a, there's like a monorail, what do they call it? Like a tram, a monorail that goes by the convention center there and we're with like a big group of people
Starting point is 00:34:16 and you know when you were with a big group, the group moves slow. You're a big group can only move as fast as a slowest person. Was it just me and Emily? Yeah, it was me, you, Emily and myself. We're getting a little antsy, because we're like, let's go, let's go, let's go. We get up to the Montereyl station,
Starting point is 00:34:35 and there's a train there. We're like, oh shit, the door's about to close. No one else is here, let's just hop in and beat everyone back to the hotel. So we like jump on the show, what the fuck you do? The challenges and the Ruby girls and everything. They're all coming up and we're like, laughing at them, pointing and going, yeah to the hotel. So we like jump on the show, what the fuck you do? The Joneses and the Ruby Girls and everything. They're all coming up and we're like, ha, ha, ha, laughing at them, pointing,
Starting point is 00:34:47 and you're going, yeah, you idiots, we got on the train going in the wrong direction. It costs us an extra 20 minutes. But then we went way out of our way. But the time we got back to the hotel, I was like, where are you? Where have you been? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:35:00 We were halfway in arena before we got to turn around. We're like, oh, we're just big idiots. We tried to be funny instead. We're just stupid and wasted a bunch of time. I like turn around. We're like, oh, we're just big idiots. We tried to be funny and we're just stupid and wasted a bunch of time. I like where you go with this though, Eric, because as much as I even love that, like that little experience you and I got to have kind of walking out of memory lane in Vegas
Starting point is 00:35:14 last year and doing that booth thing, that's great and I love that because you can meet a couple of hundred people throughout the course of the day or a weekend. But I still think for my money, I wanna get the most out of where we go when we go, and so to me, that's a live show, because you can entertain four or 500 people
Starting point is 00:35:36 way more efficiently than you can throughout the course of the day at a panel or a booth, and maybe there's a show here. I feel like this is the perfect segue and we would be very remiss not to mention that RTX is the summer. And that's like having, doing what you're talking about on home turf.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Yeah, take us around sale now, by the way. They wouldn't come too often. I'm sure we'll have an anway panel or do a recording or something. I guarantee you we'll have an anway. Yeah, I already put it for you. Okay, there you go. And it's kind of a way to do that without us having to travel side of it.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Yeah, but I understand what you're saying, and I agree. And I didn't mean to discount on RTX. It's just kind of like a given RTX to me. But and also like my other podcast face probably won't have a lot of a present. So I'll want to over index on the anima side at RTX. But I just, I don't know, you and I travel very well together. And I kind of enjoy, I don't wanna do like a big thing, but if we were to do it once in a while,
Starting point is 00:36:31 I think it'd be a lot of fun. I think if we could pick a day here and there and see if it's something we can put together, I think it'd be into it. We just have to pick the right cities and the right times and all that stuff. And like to me, it's the right venues, not overreaching and finding something
Starting point is 00:36:45 that we're comfortable with. You know what would be great. And we're just kind of spitballing here. We have no, we do not talk about it as a head of time. Just so everyone knows, we haven't talked about this outside of these recordings. What we're doing right now is we've only talked about it. We'll talk about something totally different
Starting point is 00:36:59 in the car ride home. Absolutely great was if we came up with, if we could do touring episodes at locations we've been to in the past or where some of these stories happen. Like if we went back to San Jose and did a recording at Cinebar. Oh, that's a really fun idea. Or something like that.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah, the places that we talked about are Steakhouse in Orlando or... Don Vita's? Vita Steakhouse. Yeah, yeah. It's, I just think there's something here. We come out to hustling by Rick Ross and the show starts and then it's sitting in comfy chairs and talking because that's what the show is, right?
Starting point is 00:37:37 It's just conversation. And I think that there's a misconception with people who don't consume podcasts like this regularly and what a live podcast show should be because I'm a guy who listens to a lot of podcasts and I don't mind live episodes as long as they stick kind of close to what their format typically is. But when they go way off the mark and do something totally different for a live show, it's like, I'm not really into this. Yeah, it's like, I appreciate your desire to reinvent the wheel.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Yes. But the wheel is why we came. Yeah, right. It's the thing that I want is my regularity. And I know that people will always cry about audio quality at live shows. But if you're listening to this, I don't ever want to hear you talk about a live show podcast, because we are six feet from a fucking street. This is texture. This is texture.
Starting point is 00:38:25 This is only different. Same. Here comes the South Park Meadows bus. It's like the number three. It's so crazy that like we can do a podcast like this. And just it's fine. Yeah, it's fine. And so I think live shows for this would be like a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Going somewhere and having people come and watch it, I think it would be a lot of fun also. I want to put a lot more work in, I know that Anma was designed to be no work for us in just to tell old stories. Oh God. But I don't know, I'm feeling really, I've just really been enjoying it and connecting with it lately and I'm feeling more more like a desire to do more with it.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Yeah. As an entity. Let's do it, let's do it. Let's talk about it outside the podcast. Yeah, I'm out. Here's what we let's talk about it outside the podcast I'm out We do have a second show we call sausage So Taki talk
Starting point is 00:39:17 I'm into it You know we're like we said earlier. We're sitting here at the intersection of Machaka and Ben White and Like we said earlier, we're sitting here at the intersection of Manchaka and Benoit. And I don't know how prevalent this is in other cities, but one of the things that drives me crazy here is when streets change the way they're spelled or when street signs are inconsistent. Like I'm looking at that Manchaka sign over there that I know used to say Manchaka and I know everyone used to say Manchak.
Starting point is 00:39:43 That's over there. Or are you talking about how they renamed Manchak? They renamed the city. I'll be renamed the street. Why did they do that? To try to, because I think the person it was named after, because their name was actually Menchakak. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:53 But the more common name is Manchakak. So they, they spell it the other way as a mistake. And it was that way for many years. And they finally reverted it. Trying to fix it. Oh, I'm just going to call it Manchak. Right, everyone calls it Manchak. The other street, I don't know if you've ever noticed this,
Starting point is 00:40:05 depending where you are on the street, the street name is spelled different ways on the sign. Where? Peyton Gin. It's either P-A-Y or P-O-Y. Or P-E-Y-T-O-N. I've seen it both ways on different parts of that street. Wow, I wanna go look into that now.
Starting point is 00:40:21 That's interesting. Yeah, so it's infuriating to me when they can't get a consistency have you ever lived this far south in Austin the furthest south I've lived was like off of rivers side well I guess I take it back remember I lived over there by Barton Creek Mall for a while yeah that's kind of far south but it it's a little... It's not as... Yeah, I think it's a little northwestern here, but yeah. Interesting. Sorry, there's one more thing I remember about street name in real fast.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I don't know if you've ever seen this. I keep an eye, I get emails about real estate listings. I just look into the houses in Austin. I'm not looking to move or anything, but it's just an age thing. But the house is an age thing, and the houses in Austin are fucking anything but it's just an age thing. But the house is, it's an age thing and the house is awesome or fucking awesome. Yeah, like it's just fun. But sometimes I'll get listings out in Maynard as well, which is one of the suburbs like Easter here.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And always laugh, there's a street in Maynard called Shooter McGavin. Yeah, which is like the villain from Happy Gilmore. And I've always, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I. And I've always- It's like you need pieces of shit for breakfast. Right, yeah. I've always wondered why that street was called Shooter McGavin. And I actually saw a story, I forgot where it was in the Chronicle or somewhere a couple of weeks ago, that explains how Shooter McGavin Street came to be.
Starting point is 00:41:37 How? And I guess like the developer said that, you know, when they're planning and billing developments, they have to submit all the street names they want to the city. And they talk about the process and how the city Won't approve a street if it's too similar to another street name like they don't want confusion And if this whole ordeal and I guess like whatever the street was supposed to be called got rejected and it was like The day before they needed to like finalize everything
Starting point is 00:41:59 So the developer was just like yeah, I just thought I just thought I'll just go to an Adam Sandler movie And he picked like Shooter McGavin like just, I'll just go to an Adam Sandler movie. And he picked like Shooter McGavin, like just at random, because it was from an Adam Sandler movie. And so now there's Shooter McGavin. Dude, that's awesome. That's amazing. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Let me ask you a question. So happy Gilmore, you watch that movie. The love interest that it is Julie Bowen, right? And then you don't see her for 20 years, and then she's in modern family. Where was she? She was on a bunch of like TV and stuff. I'm not just just missing that.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Yeah, yeah. I think she was on like, like basic cabley kind of stuff or whatever. She's around like in movies here and there and then that. Cause I remember watching the first episode of that show that I watched and I think in like, Holy shit, is that the happy Gilmore lady? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:40 And it was. It's great. Get for her. Yeah, there you go. We're right around the 40 minute mark. So we should probably talk about radio coffee. That's why I was like a eight and a half. I would know if I'd go that high, maybe seven. I'm right around seven, eight.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I will say that when you get coffee here, the inside of this coffee shop, fucking cool. It's all like this dark wood and a bunch of people hanging out. I felt uncomfortable. Yeah, it was. It's too cool. It's kind of like kind of Buzz Millie. It's a bar also. Yeah and a bunch of people hanging out. I feel uncomfortable. Yeah, it was. It's too cool. It's kind of like buzz milley. It's a bar also.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yeah, it's definitely also a bar. Yeah. But man, when they ask, oh, you want these coffees for here to go? And it's like, oh, for here. Got glasses and mugs and coffee like that out of a mug. It's so much better. It's so much better.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It is so much better than a fucking paper cup. There was a crackle hopping by over there that shit on its back. Oh yeah. Oh, the bird city out here, a bunch of dogs. It's also huge. Yes. It is so much room here.
Starting point is 00:43:35 And it's deceptively big. Yeah. Because when you're on Manshack and you're on the street right here, you don't realize there's a whole backside on the other side of the coffee shop that has like four food trucks. Yeah. It varicruz tacos, which we got.
Starting point is 00:43:48 It's a place called brisket. Yeah. But spelled biscuit with a BR. So it's like some sort of a brisket biscuit. Oh, that sounds amazing. That sounds very good. There's bands that play here and everything. Dante from our IT department has a couple of bands that will play here. I think Dog Island and another one called The Melos.
Starting point is 00:44:05 And they play here every once in a while. A lot of folk bands play here, I remember. I was here on a Saturday, not so long ago, and they had a whole outdoor market for death artists and artisans, which was pretty cool. Oh, that's really cool. And we're talking about how big this place is. That was all over here.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And then I was here because my cousin, his husband was having a birthday, his, I think, is 40th. And so a ton of friends from around the country and the world came in. So there was probably 50 or 60 people here for that. And this place still had room for other 100 people. It's huge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And my cousin did the coolest fucking thing. He did a Austin scavenger hunt for his husband's birthday and we all just spent the day driving around and taking pictures of landmarks. It was so cute. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. I feel like there's not enough scavenger hunts in the world.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Uh, Jordan swears wife Holly did that for her birthday. Really? Yeah, we went down town and started like Russian house and then we got clues. Like she put it all together and she loved it. And then it was us guessing clues that I'd go to the next place and it's like, we're gonna get a shot here and then we're gonna go eat here.
Starting point is 00:45:02 It was fun. Radio is very cool. I like this spot down the road. There's a record Silver there was There's a record shop and then End of the year. Yeah, and then across from that is that like I Don't know what you call it, like an antique shop or... Oh. What the fuck is it called?
Starting point is 00:45:28 Uncommon Objects? Yes, yeah. It's supposed to be down on South Congress now. Yeah, and it's right down the road over here. And then on like the first weekend of like the month, they have like a little outdoor swap meeting market thing that's there too. I got two things to add to that.
Starting point is 00:45:40 One, some old Austin, that place, Uncommon Objects, used to be the, and I feel safe saying this, the number one destination on South Congress. Yeah. Back in the day before South Congress became like Armes and so on and all that. Uncommon objects was a huge, had a huge space kind of over by Lucy and disguise. And that was the like, that was the spot you would go to.
Starting point is 00:46:03 When before when we talked about like getting free movie tickets and drinking beer on first Thursdays, it was always that I'm calling objects. Like they were like the, they were like the level. They were the biggest show in town. It was the hub. Yeah, I would say it was the South Congress hub back in the day. And they got, eventually got priced out like everybody else
Starting point is 00:46:16 and they moved over here. I just saw South Congress books, which is a great fucking bookstore kind of over by Inoteca, the spy O. They moved to Curbulin. They had to pack up and so now it's weird that South Congress books is on Curbulin, but they are. Oh, weird. I think we've seen disguise is done too, right?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, they closed. Wow, crazy. And that's the left for you guys. Other thing I was gonna say is I assume it's still here, but a little further down in that same area you're talking about from radio is Casino South. Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah, what is that? Casino al Camino? South. They have a South location. What? They have for a decade or longer. I'm learning this too with you. I know it.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I know it. I know it. Yeah. Is it a bar? Yeah. It's open? Yeah. What the f***?
Starting point is 00:47:02 For 10 years? They don't have food. Oh. Okay. They don't have food. I don't drink anymore. I've only dude, I was about to say, why are we not there every fucking day? I've only been there. I can eat a hamburger. I can eat that hamburger and I don't have to go to a restaurant. I've only been there once.
Starting point is 00:47:12 This is back when I was still drinking. So maybe seven or eight years ago. And I walked in and just I just wanted to see it. Yeah, right? And there was nobody there. Mr. Lifto was working. Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, so sweet. And I was like, fuck, I'm coming to Casino South all the time. God, I just never came back. That's awesome. That's drinking, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:49 OK, I mean, this is a cool little area. I assume it's still there. It's nice. OK, I'll look it up, and I'll check. On the way home, we'll talk about it. But now is the time where we guess the name. And we're about to get it right. First time commenter on the subreddit says,
Starting point is 00:48:04 I've discovered the name. Gus has said the name and he's hiding the fact. Any any longtime RT listener has heard it. He says that it's orange monkey eagle. That's a funny guess what now. What? But he was so sure he made a whole topic and everyone said he was right. How about I got one. Don't andor my Austin. I'm cool, but I've never seen Andor, but I assume it's, there's some 10 shit on it. It's actually a really good feature, watch it.
Starting point is 00:48:32 People have been a tour guard on the subreddit, and a bunch of other people have been posting, Anarchy Me Anything. What? Anarchy Me Anything. That's it. Gus is not a very... That's what they're guessing. That's it.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Are you serious? Yeah. 100% that is it. We're done. We're free. Are you serious? Yeah. Because in my dream, it was like the whole point of the podcast was not asking me anything,
Starting point is 00:49:04 but without a topic, it was going to be whole point of the podcast was an ask me anything but without a topic It was gonna be anarchy so it was anarchy me anything We're done we're free. We're free. We don't make the mug Should we believe it? I don't know what to do. Oh, we guessed it. We have to let the world tour guard tour tour guard all credit to a user slash tour guard I Really think this hypothesis correct. It has to be it yeah D to tour guard. Yes, and that's when I found Ann Arke me anything
Starting point is 00:49:36 Here is the topic where he goes into all of I mean here's all the guesses and then so the big thing was when we got When we got civil it's a got, when we got civil, that's a good name. When we got civil, if that's the name of the podcast, why it shouldn't be in, but. So when we got civil goat coffee, that's why I repeatedly said,
Starting point is 00:49:55 goats are anarchy, goats are should not be civil. I like my goats full of anarchy. That's the, I never really revisited it, but I said it a couple times that episode, trying to bring anarchy to the front of mine. I'm not let down by that name. No, I never really revisited it, but I said it a couple times that episode, trying to bring Anarchy to the front of mine. I'm not let down by that name at all. No, I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I'll be honest. That's a good, like, I would have, if you would have pitched that name, I would have loved it. Yeah, I really can't believe that we got the name, and that's... I was looking, I normally look away when Eric reads the guesses, because I don't want anything to, on my face to give it away.
Starting point is 00:50:23 But like, I felt like you said it, and I had like a slow turn. You did. What did you just say? There was like Rumpel still skin hearing his name and screaming. What's the name of the person who's got? Torgard.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Minnesot. T-O-R-G-A-R-D on Reddit. You need to send Torgard some stuff. Can we put, is it too late to change the mug? It just says Torgard's name. I I'm gonna message tour guard right now and say hey don't tell anyone but you got the name right will reveal it next week Congratulations. You want to tell them already or do you want to wait? No, we got it. You want to be told for tour guard to find out? Okay, all right, all right.
Starting point is 00:50:58 This is wow. I can't believe it fucking happened. I'm not gonna do. No, me neither. I'm shocked. I I it's a weird name. That's the thing and that's why I keep trying to reinforce fucking happened. I'm not gonna do. No, me neither. I'm shocked. It's a weird name, that's the thing. And that's why I keep trying to reinforce Dream Logic. It doesn't really, no, it doesn't, it makes sense to me. It's not a ton of said, but it's not like something you would come up with normally. Yeah. Torgard, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Congratulations. Congratulations. I'll reach out, we have to send you something. Yeah, that's at least a couple of mugs. That's fucking, yeah, we need to talk to, all right, we'll figure it out on the way home. We need to talk to Tony about, oh my God, what is so hard doing?
