What would you do if you had the freedom to be anyone or to go anywhere without limitations?
Start your journey and experience for yourself the feeling of total freedom when you game with Alienware.
Alienware is your portal to new worlds where limits don't exist and the only rules are the ones you
decide to make. Defy boundaries and start gaming now at Alienware.com. Next-gen gaming is built with
Intel Core i9 processors. This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Okay, this is supplemental, Anima.
This is just me and Jeff, I Jeff.
Hey, what's up, dude?
So we're at, uh, what is this place called?
Pan American Park?
Yeah, yeah.
We're essentially a third in Chaconne in Austin.
And you had no idea.
We're here for an RT shoot, so you thought we'd bang out
some quick supplemental, some non-canon.
And I don't think you have any idea how much of my life
I've spent in this spot.
Or are you serious?
I'm 100% serious.
So we're at this baseball field that we're shooting
a thing for and we just sort of grabbed a spot
in the shade in the benches and you've just been
at third-checkone a lot or what.
Dude, I have spent so much of my life,
Millie's childhood, my sweat equity in this spot.
Let me explain.
We are sitting behind home plate right in the bleachers.
To the straight ahead to the left is a grade school.
And in front of that is Pan American Park.
There's a stage there, right?
First off, if you ever come down to Austin
and you're looking for a music festival to go to,
one of the cooler, weirder experiences you can have
is a festival called Honk ATX.
Have you heard of it?
No.
I think they still do it there.
I've seen it like eight times there.
Okay.
It's like marching bands that do like,
have like wild costumes and do like,
marching bands don't music on stage.
Oh really?
But it's like insane.
They'll be dressed up like flamingos.
Wow.
They'll do like Taylor Swift songs or like,
heavy metal and it's just like this wild experience
where like all these bands, I don't know what,
I don't know what the music's called,
or what the bands are called, but it's like
when you go to a town and they have like a parade
at one in the morning and they have this fucking
insane band with tubas and like a bunch of wind instruments
and shit, right, right?
It's like that and it's like once a year
and the bands come from all over the country.
Oh, that's fucking crazy.
Yeah, just to perform with this one festival,
and it's fucking awesome first off.
So if you ever in town during a Hanke TX,
or if you live in Austin, go to Hanke TX, it is fucking,
it is when they say keep Austin weird.
It's what Austin used to kinda used to feel like.
I'd never, I think I'd heard of something about that.
Never knew there was a name, never knew.
It was like a thing that happened to annually.
That's fucking awesome.
Definitely go if you get a chance.
They just go up and they play like one song
and they do like, it's just awesome.
But it's like a whole, it's not a song,
it's a whole performance, right?
And then so, like I said earlier,
we're still behind home plate.
So then to the right,
first off, I've spent a lot of time
with this baseball field.
Okay.
In particular, drunk.
Oh really? Yeah, I've made a lot of time with this baseball field, in particular, drunk.
Oh really?
Yeah, I've made a lot of friends in these bleachers,
which I'll circle back around to.
To the right is a pickleball court.
Now it used to be basketball courts.
And behind that is a building.
Used to be a thing in there called Super All Right.
It was a popular media company.
A bunch of other like fledgling incubator businesses
have started and launched from there
and also failed from there.
The NCAP is a black building.
I think it might be some sort of crossfit thing.
That warehouse was my ex-wife's art gallery
for like five or six years.
That's where that was.
Oh shit.
And so there was about a five or six year period
where I spent every day after work.
You just like lived here.
So I lived here seven days a week.
Get up at 9 a.m. on a Saturday and come here
and start working because there was always some project,
like painting the whole place or redoing the walls
or redoing the stairs or putting in a giant fucking
totem pole in the back or digging drainage ditches
or building cabinets or what or or getting ready
for an art show, getting ready for some gallery thing,
getting ready for a, she would, we put on fashion shows,
EDM shows, punk shows, traveling bands played there.
It was insane during South by,
it's a two story building with like a,
on the inside so you'd have like bands
like jumping off the fucking, like off the balcony
into the crowd.
It was a wild place, that grass area right there.
Millie spent her entire childhood playing
in that grass area with all the kids from the neighborhood.
Wow.
That park bench right there.
I have kicked so many people off that park bench
for doing heroin at one in the afternoon
while my daughter's trying to play
and be like, get the fuck out of here.
And I like I have seriously, it got to be like, I got good at it.
I got good at kick and drug ease off of that park bench.
And then I have to do it like every time I would come here, it makes it sound terrible.
And every time I would come here, I would do it, I'd have to do a needle sweep.
Yeah.
To get needles before it was safe for me to go out and play.
You find a lot of needles.
I found a few.
No, it's not a ton.
I would get, and the circle back to the softball field, thanks for all fields here, I would get drunk on a Friday ton. I would get, circling back to the softball field,
baseball field here, I would get drunk on a Friday night.
There was always, there was always people
playing softball or baseball here.
And I just come sit in and I just pick whichever team
and I'd become that team's biggest hell.
And I would heckle the other team
and the people in the audience like,
who the fuck are you?
And I'd be like, on the biggest baseball fan you were,
we would just, they would, they,
they would just get drunk together.
I've had so many free beer sitting in those stands.
I've heckled so many people.
So many nights.
Kickball, he used to happen here a lot.
I used to have fucking, I was merciless
with the kickball teams.
And yeah, I was like maybe six or seven years.
Wow.
I've just always, like my second home.
I had no idea.
I didn't know that, and I'm coming here today,
we were gonna do that.
I'm fucking crazy.
Yeah, and then maybe a year before the divorce,
my ex-wife moved to a new location.
Yeah.
And I haven't been back here since.
Wow, this is like first time back, huh?
Yeah, so it's just like, it's weird
because I'm like overcome with a rush of memories
and emotions and like real having nostalgia.
In a good way, it's really nice to be here.
It's such a pretty date.
If we're gonna do it, it's gorgeous.
So you're supposed to be cloudy and then crazy.
And then all the wind kind of kicked and blew out the clouds out.
It's 75 probably.
We're still shooting a commercial for something a rooster key thing.
And we just showed up at this field.
And then I saw a shirt that fences are and everything.
And I went, oh, we should hit baseballs here.
Yeah.
This should be the next spot that we, because it's all locked up or whatever.
But we can, I could probably, I could boost Gavin over and he could hop that fence.
Well, Neil got the keys from the city, you just asked for them.
Oh, just make a copy real quick.
Yeah, so we just go to the, yeah, go hop on in the home,
we go, we'll ace hardware action.
So, hey, this is, it says do not copy,
but don't worry about it.
Yeah.
Um, this is a great little field.
I don't know.
So, here's, here's a, maybe the issue with this
for another show that we have called face.
Um, if you were to muscle it out of the park here. Yeah, I hit a car. Here's maybe the issue with this for another show that we have called face.
If you were to muscle it out of the park here, yeah, I hit a car.
Yeah, I don't think we'd get it back going over right.
No, no, I don't think so.
It's just it's into traffic. Yeah, over left, you can, you know, it's the park and there's a slope and that's no problem.
Yeah, right over there, but I pulled the ball anyway because I'm the lefty.
Yeah, it's right.
You're pulling it.
You know, big, not a big opposite field guy.
No.
No, all right.
This is a cool area that I never come down to.
Yeah.
That feels like if I lived over here, I'd walked everything in the world.
It's set, man.
It's so funny you're saying that because I was over at, right before I came here, I
know we had like a crew lunch,
but I kind of wanted to reminisce.
And so I went to via three, been three,
the brick and mortar over here on six,
and I was eating there.
And I was thinking, I never lived close enough to walk here,
but I lived close enough to run my bike here.
And I was just thinking about how much time I spent over here
when I was my entire 30s,
was in like a five block radius of this area.
Wow.
And exist, you know, six is right over there,
yellowjack, it's social club, I don't know,
the crackle,
Violet Crown.
Violet Crown, all those places.
All these places to go to.
That's when I was a drinker, you know.
And I was thinking about like,
the one thing that kind of bums me out where I live now
is I can't really walk to anything.
Yes.
Really goes, really gradually to high school.
I don't need as much space.
Maybe we just get a condo down here.
It makes it easy.
I can't drink or anything in most of its bars,
but there's so many restaurants to walk to.
There's a lot of restaurants to walk to.
There's coffee shops to walk to.
There's different stuff to walk to.
There's a lot.
It's close without being an inherent vice, I suppose.
Yeah, I'm kind of in the suburbs now,
which I like because it's quiet.
Yeah, for sure.
And this, the convenience.
Yeah, I get it. You the suburbs now, which I like because it's quiet. Yeah, for sure. This the convenience. Yeah, I get it
You know the descendants were right
I want to be like mom and dad. Yeah
And that's fine, but dude living in the city would be like fear said I love living in the city
Yeah, fear loves living in the cities. It live in the city descendants
want a suburban home
That's funny to like 4% of the population.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know if it's anyone listening to this show,
but yeah, definitely.
I mean, I think it's funny.
This is a cool spot that E6 that you have right here
is that's drinking Haven.
And now there's like, now that Austin's kind of opened up
again, like after COVID and stuff, there's a wrestling show running at like,
Empire Control Room on 7th.
Oh, really?
There's like, yeah, there's like a ton happening,
and I wonder if you're gonna see that resurgence
in like this area.
It's not like this area ever really died out.
Like it's just older homes and stuff,
but I wonder if you're gonna see a lot of people
trying to like get in right here
because everything's opening up again. I actually almost bought a house pretty before pandemic,
about a year before pandemic.
I almost bought a house over here.
Oh wow.
Maybe six or seven blocks that way.
But there was like, unfortunately,
like a parking lot backed up to the house
that was that was and still is like a giant homeless camp.
And it just seemed a little sketchy.
Yeah.
And it was also more expensive than where I'm living now,
which is so, it was a big thing.
It is so fucking pricey to buy a tear down over here,
because this is such a hot area.
It's, yeah, it is big.
Because it is where, you're right, it's where everything is.
The only thing you don't get over here in East Austin
and the hip East side is a movie theater.
That's true.
That's it.
Oh, that's weird. I was gonna say privacy, but, I mean's true. That's it. Everything else is here.
I was gonna say privacy, but I mean,
you don't want privacy if you're looking here.
You wanna go get fucked up on a Friday night
and I'll be around tons of people here.
You wanna go to Latchkey for some reason.
Yeah, it's a great spot for that.
Like this is where there was an RTX one year
where I met some Irish guys who came for RTX,
they're big fans and everything,
never met them before or whatever.
We just hit it off and they're like,
hey, we wanna go out tonight, where should we go?
And I'm like, come with me, let's go.
And we walked down six, we started Violet Crown
and just made our way down E6
until we got to the Grakyll and then we got kicked out.
Yeah, we were too drunk, we got kicked out of the Grakyll.
That's fucking funny. It takes a lot to get kicked out of the
crackle. Yeah, they give you a lot of leeway at that place.
The crackle is like, if you're not an awesome, you don't know on e6.
The crackle is like the last bar on the crawl.
Like, it is where people end up at the end of the night at their
drunkest and messiest. That is, and that was us.
And then the bartender went, that's enough.
Like it's just departments past the crackle.
It's a, it's a cool area.
It's a great spot.
If you're, if you ever come to Austin,
I don't know that you necessarily need to come down
to the Pan American baseball field, but.
Like she wanna hit some balls.
Yeah, or do some heroin at 1 p.m.
It doesn't seem like a big heroin park anymore.
It is.
Neil said he ran somebody off when he came up.
Did he really?
I think it's those.
Oh no.
Oh, well, I was wrong.
Okay, so do come here if you need to do heroin.
I wouldn't be on the phone.
If you want to do it in the sun.
That's true.
There's some trees.
It's right.
It's pretty bright.
So we do have some questions.
Oh yeah, let's do it.
If we want to get into.
Dude, these people are playing pickleball and making me fucking horny.
What?
I love pickleball.
I hate that I love it.
Yeah, man, there's got to be like a better one.
No, yeah, no, I get it.
There's just got to be a better way to say that.
I don't think so.
So, my fucking dick is all rock hard pickleball right now.
I can't even suck.
This is rough.
This is gonna be a weird one.
You know, I was that? In my episode.
Oh, I don't know.
Can't wait for Gus to get back.
Dude, I'm a, I'm 2000.
I'm all the knees from 2010 to 2023 right now and the spot.

So let's get into a couple of questions.
How we figure says, have you gotten back into any comics?
I really enjoyed your appearance on Class of X-Pot. a couple of questions. Okay. How we figure says, have you gotten back into any comics?
I really enjoyed your appearance on Class of X-Pot.
Oh yeah, I did a one off on a podcast with a coworker.
John Reisinger does, it's about comic books,
and he had me on the talk about the X-Men.
Yeah.
It was a big X-Men fanlion when I was a kid.
The answer is honestly no.
Okay.
I think I, there are a few mediums that I think I've just kind of hit my limit on.
Yeah.
And that doesn't necessarily mean forever, but I think I just need to take a break from comics
and movies, well, no, not movies.
Comics and superhero movies would be a top of that list.
Okay.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
I like this one.
This is at Director Andrews on Twitter.
Okay.
In what ways has Austin positively evolved since you've moved here?
I think in a million ways.
Yeah.
I'll be honest with you.
I don't know how it's negatively grown.
I agree.
You know what I mean?
I think it's one of the things that I think Gus and I wanted to make clear early on in
this podcast, because if you live in Austin, if you've lived in Austin for more than 10 minutes,
everybody talks about how it's not the same as it was
and how it's lost its magic and how it's lost its charm
and how it's different than it was the day
that they discovered it.
As if Austin began its existence
on the day that they moved here and discovered it,
or fell in love with it and decided they wanted to move here.
People have been saying that shit since I started
in Austin in 1994. People were saying that shit in the 80s, they been saying that shit since I started in Austin in 1994.
People were saying that shit in the 80s.
They were saying that shit in the 70s.
Austin is an evolving city that is incredibly full of life
and it is not the place it was when you found it
a year or two or 10 or 20 or in my case 30 years ago.
And that's fine.
It's an awesome place.
And it's a growing amorphous glob of creativity
and youth and exuberance and greed and money
and a bunch of good and bad things all rolled into one.
But it's just, it's wonderful.
Yeah.
And I can't, I mean, traffic is worse.
Of course, you could say dumb shit like that.
But that's everywhere.
It has grown.
And I have grown and everybody who's lived here has grown too.
Yeah.
You know?
I think it's a city that's gotten bigger,
but it's a city that is still interesting,
and fun to be in compared to,
I mean, anywhere else you go in Texas.
That's trying to maintain an identity.
Yeah.
I mean, at least it's trying.
Even if it's a little confused as to what that is right now.
And that's fine.
And also, it's like, sure, you can say it's expensive.
It's more expensive to live in than California.
Yes, I get all that right now.
But name a town in America that isn't expensive,
that you would go to a go like, oh man,
so I'm so happy to live in Ashland right now.
It's so cheap.
That's not, it's expensive.
It's expensive everywhere.
Hoboken sucks right now, right?
Demolian probably sucks right now.
Right, that's just the way it is.
Yeah, that's cities.
That's the growth too. I mean, it is. Yeah. That's cities.
That's the growth too.
I mean, it is hard when you have something with the infrastructure that Austin has that
hasn't kept up with the boom that it had, but also that San Diego in the 90s and it seemed
to survive.
So like, I don't know.
I'm just going through it again.
Let's see.
Oh, I kind of like this one.
I don't know that there's going to be a good answer for it, but I do like the question.
This is from Will.
If Rister teeth didn't start in Austin, what city would you have wanted to start it in back in 2003?
I don't know that that's probably something
you guys ever really talked about.
I mean, yeah, that would be like personal preference, I guess.
Yeah, like where would you,
if you could have picked a different place?
The only thing I'll say, I do have an answer to this.
It isn't like, because it wasn't a conversation we had.
I mean, Austin, the reality is, Rooster Teeth has,
Rooster Teeth is the result of my love and obsession
of Austin and Bernese and everybody else was involved.
But I'm gonna talk about my part, right?
I'm not trying to take ownership of the whole thing.
But I, like, and that's the thing
that I think a lot of people miss.
A lot of people do move to Austin
because they hear about it from Ruustr Teeth.
A lot of people move to Austin to work at Ruustr Teeth
and do so, right?
I didn't do that.
I moved to Austin because of Austin, because I saw Slacker by Richard Linklider, and I wanted
to live where people talked like that.
And so there was no other place for me to be.
Austin was where I was going to end up.
I will say three years in, Bernie and I realized that we could do the job anywhere and that
we could start being mobile and travel.
Oh yeah, yeah.
And our dream was always to move or do a year
making Ristuth and Scotland.
And we just never, never ever had that.
Man, that would have been pretty cool.
It would have been cool.
It would have been cool.
We loved Edinburgh.
We spent some time there.
We had a good time.
We really wanted to go back, but kids and life and work.
It became a lot harder to disconnect.
It's a great idea when you're young and you can kind of do anything and then you
Get it all kind of set up and you go take a lot of work to go set another thing up over there
And especially when like three of us were all starting families and having kids
I mean, that was fucking ready to go whenever but you know the rest of us were
This is from jaden any crazy forthood stories.
I live pretty close and everything you've said
about Kylie has been pretty accurate.
Love the show.
Kaleen, I have, maybe I'll do an episode on Forthood stories.
Yeah.
I have a ton.
I was in a drive by shooting.
Are you serious?
On an army base.
Oh my god.
I lived there for three and a half years.
I could probably tell you tons of stories.
I know.
I, uh, yeah, oh yeah, man, stories are flooding to me right now.
Let's put a pen in that and let's do an episode someday.
That's a, that's a good idea.
I never thought about, I never thought about asking about,
I just didn't think there's anything interesting there.
I never thought about it.
I mean, it's, it's like a third world country.
So I don't know if there's anything interesting about the place,
but there's definitely interesting,
interesting shit going on there.
That's awesome.
It is, dude.
Spend, go to Harker Heights, Texas, and Colleen, Texas,
and come back and tell me it's...
Drive down Rancer Boulevard,
and tell me it's not a third world country.
There was a time when I was stationed at Fort Hood
when a street, Rancer Boulevard,
was off limits to soldiers.
Are you serious?
You weren't allowed to be on that streetlevard, was off limits to soldiers. Are you serious?
You weren't allowed to be on that street.
Wow, that's crazy.
Yeah, wow.
It's a question from Jeb.
What is the thing professionally and personally
that you're most proud of?
Well, personally, I guess I'm the most proud of my daughter.
I think that's such a, yeah.
That's such a, like a,
but I would say like if child creation aside, or parenting,
raising and rearing a child aside,
I would say probably getting sober.
Okay.
It's like the hardest and most rewarding thing
I've ever done personally, probably.
Professionally, I guess I would say that I'm gonna,
that I'm gonna be a little hopeful,
and I'm gonna say that Roust Heath will exist
for another two months so that I can celebrate
my 20th anniversary.
Congratulations.
I also hope it exists.
If I can.
For another two months.
If I, I mean, to be able to create a company,
any company, but in our industry, entertainment,
which is such a volatile industry
and such a tumultuous place to try to carve out
and make a living.
And it is a gig-based world.
To be able to create a company,
a production company that has existed for 20 years.
A long time, man.
Is pretty rewarding.
And I'd say that's bigger than any rewards
or like, I don't know, like showings
or we've done a lot of cool stuff.
I've had a lot of bucket list stuff knocked off, but that's probably the fact that we're
still here is probably it.
I think the thing that unless you do this for a really long time, I don't think you understand
how much the, I mean, you might understand, but I don't think a lot of people do understand
how important it is like to have the longevity.
Yeah.
And how rare it is to have the longevity.
Yeah. Because there have been a lot of people
who come in and do the cool bucket list things
and then you never hear from them five years.
Like there are a lot of people that came in on YouTube
and like these different apps and everything who do,
the crowd, man, I hosted this thing at E3
and I fucking went to this country
and I hosted this panel and this big thing
and bucket list bucket list,
I was in this movie, whatever.
And then, you know, where they now.
There's a lot of, and I'm not saying this to be insulting
and anyone whatsoever, but there's a lot,
there's a lot more annoying oranges and Tobuscus is out there
than there are like, people they're still grinding.
It's all those guys are probably still grinding.
No, I think Tobuscus is still going,
but maybe it's not fair to that.
It's just, it's just, too. 20 years is such a long time and to do it
at a company size like this is pretty crazy.
I struck lightning three times in my career,
and I think that's fucking amazing too.
That's pretty incredible.
You don't get to do that.
Like I struck lightning with Bernie and Gus
and Matt and Red versus Blue.
Then I was so fucking fortunate enough
to create Achievement hunter and have that hit
when it did and the way it did and assemble that amazing group of dysfunctional savants, right?
And then I think the biggest strike of my life happens in my 40s when we create f*** face,
which is honestly, and I think maybe this is the real answer
or even over the 20 year thing is like,
I'm making content at 47 that's better than I've ever made,
I think, and I feel as funny and as good as ever at it.
And I feel like the chemistry and the little universe
that we've created is like kind of pure and perfect
and beautiful, and I can't believe I get to be a part of something
like this again.
Yeah, it's, you know what I mean?
The face is so cool and fun and easy to do.
Like not in a way of like, there's no,
it's not like there's no planing that goes into it,
but you like every episode,
it's like why don't have anything to talk about,
and then it's like, oh, we didn't get to anything,
except for this insane thing for an hour.
It's easy because it's incredibly hard,
if that makes sense, because it is incredibly hard
to get everybody on the same page
moving in the same direction at the same speed
with the same motivations and goals.
It's rare.
And when you can find that, that makes it easy.
Yeah, you're right.
What we do is easy, but it's only because of the chemistry
and because of the alchemy that exists between that group.
I don't want people to think that we're saying
it's easy and away where there's no work.
There's so much work that goes into it.
There's so much work that goes into it.
But it feels effortless when we get in the record.
Like I talked to Andrew for such a long time today
about some idea stuff that we're doing
for like an office day coming up or whatever.
And it was like, oh, this is so,
like the conversation flows and it's so simple
to like be on the same page, it's great.
And there's this little explosions of creativity.
Yes. And everybody has them and it's so,
oh, fucking gross. It's blessed.
Here's one from Rebecca.
If you could pick five guests,
you don't have to necessarily get five.
You'd like to have on the podcast for an episode.
Who would they be?
Well, first off, hello, Rebecca.
I'd love to you.
Guess I never want to be Rebecca,
but I'll put them on the list.
Man, I would love to have, well, here's the thing.
We've labored over this. Yes. A lot behind the list. Man, I would love to have, well, here's the thing. We've labored over
this a lot behind the scenes. We had an opportunity once to have Shaq on, so we did a pitch. I think
we were all a little, it didn't work. Shaq probably didn't want to go on. It was like
when his new podcast was coming out, the big show, and they were looking for partners
to help promote it by having them on and so I put together a whole
Pissar you and I put together a whole Pitch about getting shack on and think we could do with them as kind of the
Infancy of face and I'm so glad that didn't work. Yeah, it didn't happen because we've I think we've determined over time
That we're not a guest show and I I think that we've all become fiercely protective of
The space that we've created. I agree.
And I just don't know how to bring somebody else into it.
Yeah.
I think for shows like RTP, it's natural to have a guest on.
I think there's other shows like FaceGM always gets approached
for guests and stuff.
But ANMA, I think, is natural to have.
Absolutely.
Yeah, we talked about having not Rebecca, but Becca on.
Yeah.
And that was the thing that we were supposed to do
in the Austin froze over again.
So that was difficult.
I wanna have back on.
I know that's someone.
We had Jason Saldanyan.
That was a lot of fun.
It was so fun.
We were talking about, I think Jordan Levin
would be a fun guest for this show.
Cause he knows so much about Austin.
You know, way where you go, man, this guy fucking knows a lot.
We, no, I think it's, it's, it's, we've been asking him
for a while and I think he's, we're definitely
gonna get Jordan on.
Because he actually has like, you know,
he went to college here, which Gus and I didn't do.
I mean, you know, Bernie and Matt and they have that perspective.
But Jordan went to college here,
but he went to college here at a different time.
Yes.
And so he was, he was a part of watching Austin grow
into what it was when we first discovered it.
And I would love to hear his insights and perspectives.
One of the persons we've talked about having on his guest,
which I really, I don't know if anybody took me seriously
that day, but I really wanna have Joe on
from Achievement Hunter because he's just moved to Austin.
I totally forgot about that.
We should have Joe on.
I wanna have the impression of somebody
who's lived here for 10 minutes and knows nothing
about the city.
I wanna learn about their Austin.
Tell me about the seven blocks right off 188.
Yeah, you know.
I just think it'd be fascinating to hear a newbie's perspective of our city.
I think that's good.
Talked about having Jason on was a lot of fun.
Definitely want to have him on again.
Yeah, we'd love to have Jason on again.
Who else could we get?
Who else would you guys think that?
You think Frank was someone that we sort of talked about maybe?
A lot of stories with Frank. Yeah, and that's kind of the thing that fits think that like, Frank I think was someone that we sort of talked about maybe. A lot of stories with Frank.
Yeah.
And that's kind of the thing that fits here is like, who do we got some good stories with
where we can go like, oh shit, that's a natural, oh shit, that's a natural.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's interesting because I've thought about this a little bit and thought about like,
do we approach people we don't have relationships with but have some notoriety in Austin or
Austin significance. And I started to kind of formulate it or try to put together a list of that.
And the more I thought about it, the more I thought,
if we don't have a personal connection to this person,
I mean, I think that clearly Gus and I have had our 10,000 hours in
of doing podcasts and interviewing people.
And I was a journalist.
You could do it in your sleep.
But I really like the personal touch that we have with the guests that we've,
we've only had one guest, but the guest that we've
talked about as well. And so maybe we'll get there down the road. But right now, I think I just
like to focus on people that have some significance to our past. Well, I just, I think that having the
significance to your past kind of a thing takes it out of Austin also. Like we have to do it in person.
I will not do remote for the show. What a misery. That we got to do it in person, but it, like,
when we had Jason on and it led to stories about like,
oh yeah, like Bernie fucked me over and I flew out of like
Long Island and I was like the only one who could
fucking make it out because it was snowing or whatever.
That's the kind of story that I want from this thing.
Yeah.
Because it's not about Austin, it's about your guys
is time in Austin, it's about how special or different it was.
And like those relationships, that to me is way more important.
Yeah. That's the thing that I really like.
Well, we probably have a ton of those with Becca.
Good, yeah, and we'll have back on soon.
It's just, now it's just trying to negotiate.
We almost did it the day.
It was on the calendar.
Yes, it was.
It was on the calendar.
We were locked in.
We had a place.
Everything was ready.
And then it was like, hey, they're saying don't drive.
And it was like, hey, they're saying don't drive. And it was like, ah, okay, all right, don't drive, got it.
So we had to cancel post-pone, but now it's warm
and I feel like we can get some stuff out of it and everything.
I do feel like we've made it through the worst of this weather
where you're gonna be complaining about it being cold,
so now we can do outside episodes again.
And it'll be fine.
Dude, it was gonna be 75 fucking degrees in some of you.
Let's do the podcast every day.
What I'm saying!
Okay, cool.
Then we're about to get called to set,
because I can see everyone milling around.
Any final thoughts you can follow us at,
and my podcast on Twitter and on Instagram,
we'll have another supplemental episode
that I think I wanna do next week.
And here's the pitch.
Okay.
Because I tried to schedule it for this week, did not fucking. Okay. Because I tried to schedule it for this week,
did not fucking happen.
Okay.
Try to schedule it for last week.
Did not fucking happen.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I got blown yesterday.
It is not you.
Okay.
It was getting the other people that I want.
Here's because this was pitched to me by Kayla and Blizz.
They want to make us like do like a half hour episode like this
and they want to make us coffees.
Because Kayla has like her whole smorgasbord of like syrups and flavors and all this stuff
and they want to make us coffees
where it's like oh, I like this flavor less of this more of that,
like that kind of a thing and we taste test.
It's not like taste test.
And then I think we find coffees that we like
with flavors and everything and we can put them out there
for people to try.
And then Gus can't be a part of it.
He cannot be a part of it.
So he doesn't get to enjoy it. Even though he's back and could definitely be a part of it. He cannot be a part of it. So he doesn't get to enjoy it.
Even though he's back and could definitely be a part of it.
No, he doesn't appear in Supplemental Contents.
That's right.
So that's the pitch.
I tried to set it up last week,
tried to set it up this week.
It wasn't just your schedule.
Okay, cool.
It was everyone's schedule.
So I want to try to do that for the next supplemental.
If the next supplemental is not that,
then it will be Sunday.
Yep, uh-huh.
Because I do want to do it.
It's just a matter of getting everyone together. The hardest part of everyone's job. is not that, then it will be Sunday. Yeah, uh-huh, because I do want to do it.
It's just a matter of getting everyone together,
the hardest part of everyone's job.
That's so easy.
Art slash and a podcast make a name guess.
We still don't know what it is, but there are a lot of guesses,
and we know it's only three words.
So...
And Austin's not one of us.
Austin is not one of us.
So that limits. That cuts it down.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
There you go. Okay, any final words for the folks at home?
Nah, just thanks for listening.
Keep sending in those questions because we have to do these supplemental every fucking two months.
Yep, because of Gus.
Because of Gus.
We need the material.
That's right. Go to Hell Gus.
Love you. Except for Gus.
Good morning Gus.
