And I'm Joe and you probably are too.

And I'm Andrew and I is. And I'm Joe and you probably are too. And I'm Andrew and I is. And I'm Gus. You are. Yeah. Oh, like from the internet. Wow. When you're real life. Gustavo.

Hey, that's me. I want to start this off. I saw something over the weekend that I can't decide if it's genius or serial killer level stuff. Oh, is this what you told us earlier? Yeah. The finest lot. Which I just want to point out before Gus tells us

start, he's saying serial killer level stuff. So like, your expectations are probably at a certain level for what you're expecting. I'm expecting something so Machiavellian, so diabolical. That could either be the smartest thing ever or it's something someone would do who would also keep you in a basement. Yeah, looks.

So my neighbor washed his car. Uh-huh. Typical thing you do. And I was sitting in my house and I heard a leaf blower. I was like, maybe it doesn't have any leaves in his lawn. What's he doing? So I looked out in the window

and he was drawing his car with the leaf blower. Is that genius or is that, I I mean I would say maybe everyone does that Okay, I had an idea to do that. It's it's it's this it sounds like some real life hacker bullshit, but Great idea as long as it's not a gas power. It was an electric leaf book. Then I'm fine with it Yeah, I mean like I guess that's technically what car washers do, right? Right, I just said, they dry your car with like four giant leaf blowers. But I was like, this feels wrong.

Like on some level, it was like, ooh, I don't know if I should be watching this. Especially because like, what for, right? Like, it's not like your car, does it look any better if you dry it versus letting it air dry? Maybe you won't get the droplets like the little water spots. Yeah, normally I just drive my car around after I wash.

Right. And it's like I just do a couple blocks and let it dry off that way. Man, I haven't washed my car and God knows how long. I don't even know. Used to be stark white. Now it is a muddy branch. That was great. Yeah, I guess it's rain so often here that I feel like you don't need it.

Yeah, we don't get like slush here Yeah, you call a rato and you drive through the snow. It would look bad Yeah, bad after the snow after it rains you get like that dirty water on the size of your car Like those spots everywhere. Yeah, but nothing like slush or anything Yeah, but again like while that is weird and something not typical I don't think it's like serial killer level activity. I was like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. This seems wrong.

If it took four leaf blowers, duct tape them all together and then did them all at the same time, that's some serial killer shit. No, that's not smart share. Also, if he was doing it at night, maybe he was doing it at real serial killer stuff. Hello, Gus. Ooh.

Using like a UV light while he drives it. He's like looking at his like, oh no, spots there. Yeah, it's a compliment. It's quite a great afterwards. I was like, oh, that actually worked. That was good. I don't know what kind of neighborhood you guys live in,

but I often hear like a lot of kids playing and screaming and laughing as they're playing, but sometimes I don't know. I don't remember being a kid and screaming as much as I hear kids screaming nowadays when they're playing. I am convinced kids learned a new game called I'm being murdered.

I mean, it is insane how like shrill and loud there's, I mean, it is piercing screaming. I literally have been like, do I need to call the police? Like, is someone actually getting murdered right now? I don't know, or is it just a group of eight-year-old girls playing a catch? I don't know. And I can't go near there,

because they don't be, what are you doing, old man? Yeah, I'm a lot of here. You know, I'm really terribly socially awkward. And like a, maybe a couple of months ago, maybe last year, I don't remember when it was. There was like a big outdoor get together and like for my neighborhood, I called the neighbors away

and I was like, I'm just gonna walk by, say hello, whatever, leave. And I walked by and some woman introduced herself, like, oh, I live at someone, so I was like, oh, you live at the house kind of like behind me and like over a little bit. She's like, yeah, oh, okay. She's, yeah, you know, we have a couple of kids like,

oh, I hear them screaming every now and then. You said that? Yeah, I was like, oh, I shouldn't have said that out loud. Yeah, she got like this look like I insulted her I was like, no, no, but like I mean, I know they're playing I hear the sounds of the play I just I just I just want I went home. I was like it was like grandpa Simpson walking into the Mason Darrier Hello, everyone. Oh, that's it. Bye Right back out. Yeah. What a great reference. I feel like when we were all kids, maybe we screamed that loud

and we just didn't know. I think maybe. Right? Because the world seems so like small to you when you're a kid. True. Like you're in your own little bubble. Maybe you just don't pay attention. I think, I think also to you don't learn modulation, vocal modulation until you're late teens. Because I mean, even think about if you're at a food court at the mall, skateboarded there, to journeys, and I feel like whenever I hear teens talk,

they also talk with, whenever I hear, man, this way officer, whenever I get, whenever your team's talking, it's so loud. Like it's just, the spatial awareness and not in the long how to modulate voice or like that voice is scary. It seems to be a thing that you don't learn until you're like 18, maybe, I don't know.

I don't know. I feel like I'd never had that growing up. Like I could be loud if I was with my friends, but it was always in scenarios where it was just us, like a sleepover party or something that's like contained. Never like out in public. And I don't know if I just like grew up with more social awareness,

or if it's because of my endless need to please people and not get in the way and be in obstruction of any sort. You're living your Canadian show. Yeah, exactly. Pardon me. When you and your friends were in a Tim Horton sitting in a booth, you weren't like so loud that people people were grinding into their plates with their forks and knives. I had friends that were.

Yeah. Forks and knives, the Tim Horton's come on. Sorry, sorry. Plastic Utils are yeah. That's snap, yeah, of course. No, I had some friends that were definitely loud. I had one friend in particular who hated authority in any capacity. And there was one time when I was driving to the US

with her and she was the one driving, got to the border and of course, like they asked questions at the border. They're just like, where are you going? And I said, like, going to, I think it was like for a mod or something. How long are you gonna be there? Like, they asked like one or two other questions

and she went like, why do you have to know? Why do you have to know all this stuff there? Like, they asked like one or two other questions and she went like, why do you have to know? Why do you have to know all this stuff anyways? Like, why does it matter? And I was like, boom, boom, boom. My friend is meaning is here are our passports, sir. And like,

please allow us into the country. I just like don't get the people who want to be angry for no reason. My, my sweet friend here has oppositional defiance disorder and we'll bulk it any authority that comes out with it's not you it's not it's just it's the systems man anyway we have no vegetables please let us go yeah just lots of lots of pills from Canada that we're smuggling to the United States I've got just

dirt cheap insulin that we're bringing it into you know get the blood sugar right yeah is that a normal thing for Canadians to just go back and forth between the US and Canada? I think just for fun. Oh yeah, definitely. I don't know what it is like Americans coming through to Canada, but Canadians go down to the US all the time. It's like one of the most populous borders,

and in terms of how much traffic there is going through it back and forth. Well, I think it's also to the fact that it's like, there are major cities essentially on the border of both countries. I think like Montreal's like two hours away from the border. I think Toronto's really close as well. Isn't Toronto on the board? Is it like you're in Buffalo,

and then you're not Buffalo, you're in like Syracuse? Whatever. It's a little bit of a drive from Toronto. You say you got to drive a couple hours. It's not too far. But again, it's like a few hours, you know, maybe like four. It's close enough where one time I was in Toronto I was like, oh, I never been in Niagara Falls.

Let me get in a car drive down there. And it's like, you drove down there, it was like, oh, it's not far at all. Yeah, you're there right. But it's like major cities, cause like Toronto, huge city, major cities. Huge, yeah. And within being, you know, two hours of the border,

or really a couple hours of the border, like makes it an attraction, I think, for like people on both sides, where it's like in Texas, it's like, McAllen. Beautiful. And come to beautiful, McAllen, Texas.

I think it was like, Giant Skyscraper. The attraction would be like San Antonio, right? Yeah. San Antonio's like two and a half from the border? Yeah, it's about two and a half. It's two and a half from the border? Yeah, it's about two and a half. It's two and a half from the border. Oh yeah, man, that drive many times.

You know, San Antonio was the closest big city to where I grew up. It's like if we wanted anything, we had to go to San Antonio. And I grew up on the border, so it was a two and a half hour drive. I know that drive very fucking well. Yeah.

It's nothing. Nothing. I hope my car doesn't break down because there's nobody out here for miles. It's so foreign for me because I never lived anywhere near a border and being in Texas the closest I've ever lived to, a border to different countries.

It's not yours to, people go, oh, I went to Canada this weekend or I guess vice versa, I went to the US this weekend. Go to Mexico. Like car. It would be, see, two, sorry, I'm not even ready to go. San Antonio has been two week as a man. Like, are. It would be, see, two,

sort of, really, yeah. San Antonio being two hours of a border, it would be like if Mexico City was an hour out on the other side. It's like two major cities within, like near the border, but it's like, no more Laredo, and then what's the, I mean.

That's where, that's the town of Gropa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Joe, would you go to like any other place in the US, even like flying, or did you bring pretty much a homebody, stickin' in? I was usually, if we went anywhere, it was always a road trip to my family, cause flying is just expensive.

Yeah, and also with a big family sometimes. Yeah, with a big family, it's tough. Even more expensive. Yeah, I mean, I've really only been like, like Callie and then like, Nevada and the Chicago and then Colorado here. I haven't really traveled anywhere else. I went to the East Coast like one time for a couple days

like in Maryland, beautiful, gorgeous like being in DC and stuff. But. It's crazy how many places in the US you could go to that feel like you're in another country. The US is so fucking massive. It's huge. I mean, Canada is huge, but everywhere, I mean, not everywhere.

A lot of places feel very similar, other than Vancouver, which is like mountainous and beautiful lakes, Hilly. Yeah, over this past summer, I rode trip from here to Oregon. Oh, did you really? Yeah, it's... What is that, like a four-day drive?

It's a three-day drive, if you're being real easily. Okay. Driving with me. It's a three day drive if you're being real easily. Okay. Driving with me. It's two and a half. No, like there's, there's, I mean, it's a three day drive because we stopped in Albuquerque, Twin Falls, and then, I feel like there was one other stop. Anyway, what's really, I can, I totally understand people who got to like

California, Oregon and went, I mean, it is the end of the country, but also we're just like, well, we made it to heaven, guys, because it is the most beautiful, like, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of the country, but you have to go through hell to get there. Like, up through Utah and into the barons up there, it's fucking tattooing. It is like desolate, dunes, and nothing.

And like, there's part of Texas that are nothing, it's fucking tattooing. It is like desolate, dunes, and nothing. And like, like, there's part of Texas that are nothing, but this is like, I'm just bafflingly awful for hours and hours and hours and hours. And then it opens up into the most beautiful country you've ever seen. So it's like, well, we've arrived, not going anywhere else. I think about that a lot when I'm driving

and like in Colorado and you see a mountain and you're like, man, I would have hated to have been on foot. Like walking from the east to the west, and like you like in old time, I mean, you get there and you can see the growing in the distance, you're like, fuck, we're gonna have to walk over that at some point. How long would a trek do you think it would be to go from one coast to the other on foot?

Like, what gun did it like in 45 days? No, it's all about that. Yeah. No, but actually how long would it take it like a normal pace? Like if you like take out like any kind of main road like that, I'm gonna Google maps, New York, to Los Angeles. Yeah, but that's roads, right? You can do walking.

You can do walking. Yeah, okay. Yeah, because like they're surely trails that are more flat, right? And just maybe it will take a long along like not as direct of a path. Walking. OK. I lied. I did LA to New York.

It's loading. LA to New York, you could walk in 912 hours. 912? Really? 12 divided by 24. That's 30. Why does that seem low? But that's just walking.

That doesn't count resting. So it's 38 straight days of walking, not counting any stops. Wow, not stopping at all. God. Do that, Barb. 38 day straight walking. Straight rest. Straight, and yeah, 20 night and day.

So it's just nonstop, like resting your head on the back and the person in front of you walking. Yeah, could I do it in healy's? I feel like that would be harder. Only if you go, weee. Yeah, I do it all the time. I'll do it in heeles? I feel like that would be harder. Only if you go, we, I do it all the time. I'll do it in 36. I used to have heeles where it was like you would go like this click and like the little heels or wheels would pop out of the heel. Well, you have to click one. You do a little chimney sweep, little chimney. I can't do it because I have no core strike, but yeah. This route has a ferry from the World Financial Center to Jersey City.

Oh, no, you've got to swim it. Yeah, you've got to walk the water. No, no modern technology. You've got to wait for the water to freeze, walk on it, and then keep going. Man, yeah, I think we've tried, but I think you and I have talked about this before, I guess. But anytime, anytime I'm driving or on a road trip, anytime I'm in the car in desolate areas, I always think about the people who were there first on horseback

or walking or like pioneers exploring the area. Wow, you guys think about that, I think about where the closest McDonald's is. I think. I think. So like, God, like this is just absolutely unforgiving. They had to, like, man, you had to want it. You had to really want it. It's also like, it took so long,

and you know, so it's 912 hours walking, right? But imagine you've got like a wagon. Like you imagine you also have to carry all of your food, all of your water, you've got like kids, every bit of your worldly possessions with you, it's gonna take months and half the people are gonna die along the way. I can't remember who it is.

There's a standup comedian here to joke about it. It's like, you'd be a whole different group of people when you got married. Like, oh man, I cannot recommend, like actually like researching the Donner party. Cause I do just think, like, I'm knowing casually about what the Donner party was about. You're like, oh, it's a bunch of people who got stuck in the mountains and had to eat each other

because it was like, got super cold and they ran out of the thing. I was listening to a podcast about it and did a little more research. It is unbelievably tragic. Like what actually happened because everyone was telling him, hey, group of people don't set out. Winters are gonna be here in a couple of weeks.

Do not go. You have to listen to me and the leaders were like, idiot, and it just like, oh no. And they were making progress at one point. They were making, like, I think it was a, like, an think it was a, like an eighth of a mile a day. Oh my God.

Because they would have to chop down trees to keep moving forward. So there would be a group of men out in front of like the wagon party literally chopping down forests of trees to make roads for them to travel. And then like, by this point, they were emaciated completely like, you know, ragged. And then they described like the first snowflake falling.

And it being like, we're not anywhere closer to getting to California. We're the eighth of a mile closer, everything. We're the eighth of a mile closer, every, and just like, a brisk walk would have gotten you there faster if you You're a little bit of an eighth of a mile closer, everything. And eighth of a mile closer, every, and just like, a brisk walk would have gotten you there faster if you were traveling a little. Half of a track, right? Like a quarter mile track that you normally would like walk on

or compete on half of that a day. A day, because you're chopping down trees to move wagons and oxen. Oh my God. Yeah. That pains me. Just awful. This is a nightmare, a nightmare-ish scenario.

But nowadays we have nine to 12 hours because it's paved, there's roads. There are ways to do it. You imagine doing it, like you say, with trees and mountains, you see it, I don't know how the best way to get around that. I guess we'll just start walking and figure it out as we go. Figure it out. Yeah, you really are like blazing trails through the mountains.

And yeah, it was like, they were boiling their shoes and even boiling their boots, the leather and their boots and eating it and stuff like that. Because it was just like, yeah. And it was like, I'd want my shoes. I don't think, yeah, as it was getting colder, you want your shoes. Maybe Agatha there could be spared some of her shoes.

We're gonna be eating your feet in a couple of days after that. So it's not that big of a loss. So we've all been there, the ice storm two years ago, we can relate. Yeah, I won't hear you. I wasn't hearing that. Trying time. You get affected by this year's ice storm?

Yeah, we lost power for like a little over 24 hours. It wasn't anything bad, but like ever since the power went out though, all our lights have been flickering. Oh, no. Just like constantly all our lights and everyone in the house. Actually, no. Yeah. She's kind of scared that electrical fire is going to like, you might need to, you should

call someone. Yeah, yeah, we do. Yeah, probably where the power connects to your house, it's like messed up there. It's like the power is probably like out of phase or something. God, that's terrifying. That doesn't drive me nuts. It's messed up there. It's like the power's probably out of phase or something. God, that's terrifying. I'm not even trying to be that red. I'm not even trying to be that red.

It's just insane that the whole infrastructure of Texas just basically crumble because of the cold weather. So it was kind of crazy though. It's apparently as you know what they say is those woodmills. Yeah. I've never seen trees like just a bunch of trees flopped over and just covered in ice and they're like all bent at the trunk. I've never seen that before where it's like just the hundreds and hundreds of trees like that. Well, it's not, you got to see something on you. It happened. It's not a super common occur. It happens every several years.

Okay, but it's not like a super common thing. That that was why I've been living here for 11 years and I think the one in 2021 was like the first time I remember actually being like a detrimental kind of situation. So But climate change, so who knows maybe every year is a year for fun snowstorms. Every year you'll get to see some weather phenomenon You've never seen in your life. Yeah, welcome to the United States On ice tornado is that how they have a West the US

Natural disaster that you didn't think was possible in the place you're living to America a natural disaster 250 years in the making yeah a Handmade disaster I'm sorry, 250 years in the making. Yeah. I'm handmade disaster. Oh, we're so. We're talking about Austin and all this stuff going on. And as much as we're talking about how bad the IStorm was, don't forget RTX is this summer. So come join the heat. July 7th tonight will all be their early bird pricing

for tickets is available now Through the end of the month RTX Austin.com. I think you could also get their RTX event calm, but I think both sides work I think so I'll be there be there. I'll be there. I'm really hot and sweaty Yeah, yeah, we have air conditioning in the commission center. I love the theme that we're going with this year too. It's a very fun theme. I don't think it's been spoiled yet, so I won't say that. Oh, we haven't said it. Okay.

I don't know. It's one of the, I hate it's in Chanman and under the sea dance. That's why I like not being told things around here sometimes. I know, because you don't know what's been revealed yet or not. Right. Because I don't know when I can say something, when I can't say something, it's been, if I just don't know, then it's not gonna be an issue. Yeah.

We're all like Tom Holland. Like, we're not told any secrets, we can't spoil. Or what's his name, Mark Ruffalo? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bone-chilling video. Yeah. I love that they have to treat Tom Holland like a child. They just like, we can't just tell him anything

because this is blurted out, this is unprompted. We don't even show up the script for the movie until he's there. We given the lines on the day. And then you shut them out there in front of the camera. Who? He has no volume control. Maybe that's why he's always like,

because he just learns lines. I'm Spider-Man. He makes this so believable because he doesn't even think he is. I know. Because the idea. He just learned that morning. He's done, right?

They're not making any more Spider-Man movies with him. I mean, like as Spider-Man, they're... No, he's done. He's finished on his down. He spoiled enough. I don't think they're doing any more Spider-Man with him, although I have no idea. I feel like there's a whole new phase of Marvel coming.

Yeah, with them opening up the multiverse and just traveling down this new phase, I'm sure we'll get maybe cameos. Yeah. I don't know if a full-blown feature film will happen again, but... Yeah, maybe he'll be in another Marvel movie with a different character focus kind of thing. The Spider-Man's have been the Spider-Man, the Spider-Man's Spider-Man have been my favorite of the Marvel and see a movie. No way home was pretty fantastic. The way the way home trilogy. Yeah, we were talking about this on

the stream right before the podcast, but I was talk about how wild it was back in 2002 when They're not Sam Raimi was directing a Spider-Man movie and I was like the guy who did evil dead is making a Spider-Man movie And like gets the fuck out of town. Oh, no, yeah, oh, no, it was good. Yeah. It was a good movie too Yeah, it just seems so wild now like they were talking about the whole evil dead movie the new We saw that you the new evil dead at South by Oh, yeah, yeah, it was awesome. It was really good and I am not a horror movie person Although to be fair. I was watching half the movie like this real real kind of between the fingers style This is not watching is really gory. I was gonna say like in a lot of horror movies

They do this thing where it's like something really graphic or gory's about to happen and they do like the cutaway where it's like implied or it's like you see the blood splatter, whatever. No, they, evil did is like, let's zoom in on what's happening. Let's get a ren in stumpy style close up. Yeah, like viscera is being, yeah, exactly. Polygon had a great line in their review about the movie. They said said evil did rise is a movie for sickos by sickos. Yep

Can't argue with results. Definitely definitely is a sicko movie, but man, it was fun. It was a it was a fun event and Man, but what happened afterwards? What did happen after oh, yeah, so we a few of us had to leave early What did happen after? Did you see that clip? So we, a few of us had to leave early, so we didn't get to stay for the whole Q&A. And I guess like minutes after we were gone, some guy in the audience stood up and was like,

this movie sucks and like flipped people off and was like, fuck you. As like the directors and the actors and actresses were all on the stage. Yeah, it's touching about everything. And it's like, what do you want? What are you trying to accomplish here? I don't know.

I put it to you that the recent spate of comedy, crowd work, clips online and on TikTok have educated audiences to be the worst people on the ring. That like, but it's so cringey to watch. I don't know. Anybody who would be like, I wanna be that guy. Like, did they throw this Joker's ass out? No, he was walking out as he said.

This movie sucks. And then they were like, the fuck out. He threw something and like got up and was walking and like turned around and like flipped them off again, I think and like- And he was like in the front. He was in the front like the balcony. So like he was like pretty fucking close. Just just real princess.

But also just leave. If you didn't like a movie, why are you sitting there telling the people who made it that they suck? He definitely was drunk. So like I think it was at the paramount. So they had alcohol and whatnot. And learned volume control yet. So we are a recurring theme. I just like it was two teens in a trench coat.

Yes. This probably stinks. Yeah. Ow. Well, we got just leave though. You know, like the movie's done. It was over. You could just walk down and be like,

man, I'm moving suck. But you just had to stick around and say something. My head can and is that he, it scared him so much that he was going to have nightmares and he was mad about it. And so he had to be mad. This movie sucks. I am in my image with dirty days. I just threw away my night light.

I would have to buy a new one. I was over my fear of the dark. Thanks a lot. This movie featured women. I was on Prime 1, it here for two more nights. I hear, I heard, I mean, I don't know how much the truth there is to this. So allegedly, I'll mark it with that, allegedly.

They like this got the person self identified as working and working and marketing. It's just like the person who's who yell. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. What the fuck is it? You're like, what? Just, yeah. Awful.

Yeah. It's just idiocy. We had a great time. Yeah, great time. That was awesome. Just save it for the blogs, buddy. Like, if you don't like a movie, leave. And if you're that pissed off about it,

just shout it into the void online. Who cares? But interrupting a show show like the stars and the directors are there like hey you make a movie a piece of shit Right, come on right show it to a whole audience and then a live show. It's a It's just wild to me. I can't imagine ever being in a headspace where I would want to tell someone that they're thing that they made sucks to their face like I don't understand that, like it's one thing, if you know, you're doing a podcast or you're hanging out with friends and you're talking about something like, oh, did you like the movie? No, I didn't really like it.

Or like, no, I thought it kind of sucked, but whatever. I'm not going online and tweeting at the director, your movie fucking sucked. Or saying it to their face somewhere. Like it's just this level of, I don't know. I just like, I can't understand that mindset of wanting to tell someone directly that you dislike the thing that they made. But also like, they care about and they put effort into

and that many, many, many, many people love. But there, I would say too, that it's partly wanting to be the center of attention but also having it be on their terms because they're like walking out like. Like, do you want to get up, like, you want to get on stage and like say that this movie select to the director's like, do you want to like actually like have to be like accountable for your, you know, you're. Like someone in the eyes up close. Yeah, exactly. It's like a middle ground between entitlement and just wanting to be angry at something. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely something going on in that guy's life.

Something is taking it out of the directors. Right. Well, so myself someone put it in chat, but it's like this main character syndrome. Of, I think there's this idea more and more because there's so much to choose from where there's this feeling of entitlement that people feel where it's like everything has to be made to my liking, and if I don't like it, it is bad.

And it's like that mentality is just so toxic of like maybe it's just not made for you, or maybe- Not everything is for you. Right, and if you didn't like it, that's okay. You don't have to insult the people who created it and spent their creative effort and time and money into this project. Yeah, I stand by the sentiment that social media has ruined actual society. It made us so much more connected in ways that we were not supposed to be.

So true. It tailors algorithmically things to upset you or drive you even more, further down a rabbit hole of unhealthy thinking. Yeah, it doesn't give you the algorithm just spit out anything at you. It's something that they know you're gonna react to, you're gonna engage with,

and it could be a good thing or it could be bad thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's awful. I hate it. And now chat Gbt will tailor it even better. Oh, chat Gbt. To like make scripts and shit like that. Yeah.

It's going to be our new Lord and Savior. Oh, no. It's going to rule us all. I'm scared. I had it a we were on the podcast a couple of weeks ago and I had it. I was like, right, an episode of the RST podcast. And I was like, oh, this is not bad. This is pretty accurate.

This is pretty accurate. This is pretty accurate. This is pretty accurate. This is pretty close. Which is. I was on that one. I remember you read it, and it was like, but it was weird because it was very, it was uncanny. It was like, it was like, this just, it was like,

this has, it fulfills all the like, builders grade basic requirements of being the RTI podcasts, but it had no life. It was just like, yeah, okay, sure. Yeah, I could see this. I could see this. This is like, this wouldn't be entertaining, but it sure is accurate,

which is like a weird sort of, yeah, that on the uncanny valley of texts. And if there's one thing people say about this podcast, it's never that it's accurate. We're most known for that. The most in-acc- we're going to claim it now. The most inaccurate podcast on. That might not be accurate. Who knows? We can just be in the slogan. You want misinformation? Come here. Misinformation station. All aboard. Did you get your misinformation from people not the algorithm? Yeah, real people.

Real people. What are thoughts on Twitter? Real people. Real people. Real dumb. Hot singles in your area. Call them 90. Well, now we're already spreading.

It's already infiltrating everywhere. Oh, we mentioned this also a little earlier that I've been wanting to go, you know, y'all talked about going to see evil dead rise. But I've wanted to go see a movie for a couple weeks now, but with South by going on. It's like I've been trying to avoid the theaters for a while. So I'm glad. I don't know. I just want to go see any movie.

I just like going, you know, watching the movie on the big screen. The watch, uh, Shazam. Shazam came out last weekend. Oh, yeah. It's a low, low opening weekend, right? I think it was like a disappointing opening they said. Yeah, there was, I think it just got overshadowed or it just really didn't get a lot of marketing It feels like because I've only seen like a couple trailers on it and I haven't really seen a lot of hype Yeah, Shazam too. I like the first one, but I feel like they I don't remember when it came out like I feel like there's been

Along gap between the two very long. I think it came out To come out pre-pandemic. Yeah. Because... It's 2019, 2020. Looking. Well, I think the reason why maybe it has like low engagement right now too, and people aren't as excited about it, is because like they release Black Adam, which ties into

the Shazam universe, and then that was not too long ago either, and then like Shazam just kind of got buried, it feels like. Yeah. I think the, well, I mean, my experience was the opposite. I feel like I got tons, anytime I watched a video online, it felt like,

Shazam coming. So I feel like before every video I watched was a little Shazam Stinger. It's a goddamn algorithm. I don't know. Maybe it's trying to, trying to hook me. I know you.

Trying to make you go to the movies and yell at the directors. Yeah, I loved it. I loved the first to hook me. I know you. Trying to make you go to the movies and yell at the director. But I loved the first exam. I thought it was great. Yeah. Really entertaining. I don't know anything about the second one. It's like from the trailer, I was like the siblings, right?

It's like his family. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. They had shoots at the end of the first movie, right? Yes. Yeah. They did their transformation. The guy who plays the dad of the adopted family in that,

I forget his name. He was in the Walking Dead as well, if you're looking him up. I'm looking him up for it. We went to a convention a few, maybe like a year ago or so. And he was there with some other folks from Walking Dead. He is one of the nicest human beings in the world. And he was like giving some of his friends like neck massages and back massages because apparently like he does,

yeah, Cooper Andrews. He does like, he does not a professional massage therapist, but he just likes to do it for people to help them. And I was like, if you feel like you're a... I'm so next to her. It's someone running a shoe buffer. I'm in another room.

What's that called? And so, like, he gave me a little bit of a shoulder rub in between during our breaks and stuff like that. And I was like, I could die right now. Like literally, I've never had a massage therapist who actually knew how to like massage a knot out of your back. And he did it in like two seconds.

He cracked me in half first and then went, I'm like a glow stick. Yeah, and this is. No, but he's a super nice guy, super chill. That's awesome. I need to go get a massage again. Massages are so relaxing. And like I've only gotten like, maybe four

of my messages total in my life. Okay. Oh, you need to bump those up. I want to get one of my four of those up. Yeah. At least quarterly. There's a, every time you get one, you think that. It's just like, oh, I need to do this every month.

Oh, I need to do this. I need to do this like ever so often. And it's kind of expensive, but man, it changes you. It really does. And in fact, it's well-being through the roof. Yeah, if it's something that you could splurge on, once a month of massage, it's actually pretty good for the body. Start to say we just got massage money.

It's like what it would have been. There's places that are, there's like a place called massage heights that I think you could get like a membership. I think it's like 150 a month, but you get like an hour long massage with that. It sounds too bad. So it's like, it's not cheap obviously, and that's like definitely a splurge, and it's a luxury.

But you know, if you save some money elsewhere and save up, and maybe that's like something you put aside and you're all being. Yeah, treat. That's where jar. That's where it's. That's where. That's where.

Yeah, I take a lot out of my own big account. Yeah, that's a splurge. Yeah, treat. That's where jar. I swear. I take a lot out of my own big cup. I feel like the last two times I've gotten massages, I don't have like a person who like, you know, some people have like, you don't have like your therapist. I don't have my, yeah, my massage therapist. I just like, when I'm first available, whatever. It's like, I feel bad because I'm like, I just like when I'm first available, whatever. It's like I feel bad because I'm like, I feel like putting through a workout to like have a, really trying to get the knots off. I should get you in Kato, Cooper Andrews. Yeah, let's do that.

Give me that number. Cause yeah, I like a real serious one because otherwise what happens is I fall asleep. It's either like, it's either doing work or it's super relaxing. And it goes into super relaxing. I will is I fall asleep. It's either doing work or it's super relaxing. It goes into super relaxing, I will 100% fall asleep. It's already got the dim lights. And there's some aroma therapy and the music's in there. It's already built for, I'm face down in that little face donut that they got.

Then you're paying to take a nap. Then I'm paying to take a nap. Exactly. But it's the best nap of your life. It's true. It's a nice good question about the face pillow. For anyone who's had a massage for or like late on one of those beds that has a face pillow, I am never comfortable in that face pillow. And I don't know if it's like you're supposed to put like it higher or lower or like where exactly your face or forehead is supposed to rest. It's either like

giving you like Mounty hat like like right riding your lip on the chin right here, or your like eyes are covered up. And I know what you're talking about. Like sometimes it just feels like my face is like hanging out the little hole. So I'm like maybe I need to put more of my forehead on it. And like that feels weird. Now my neck's in a weird position.

Maybe you cover the eyes then, because you don't need to see the ground. No, I don't think you do. Why? There's so much pressure on the eye. I would say whatever makes your neck feel the best, because that's what needs to be most. I want to.

Someone, they were able to, you have the bed, and then the neck part that they were able to adjust that way. And I think when they put it a little lower, it was better, or maybe it was higher, because based off the way my spine and neck are shaped, maybe it's not as much. This may have been much better. My spine looks like a shaped. Maybe it's just, I'm not sure. My spine looks like a key. It's just like, can you find the perfect neck position for me?

Oh, fuck. But yeah, I think maybe that's like the key to it. It's just moving that headrest up or down because like, I don't know, it's something about, it's just on, it's always been on company. Maybe it should just be bigger. The face should be a little bit bigger. Yeah, I think it's just about where the pillow itself is.

So like if imagine if like your neck had to go down more like this, or if your neck is kind of like at a weird angle, and you're trying to keep it in line with your spine, but your head is like too far forward or too far up, you know? Yeah. So it's something to do with that. But I'm too shy whenever I'm at like any type of service thing.

Sure. Could you adjust it just a little bit? Just tell them. I know. You're the customer. I know. There's a, I feel bad. There's a broken bottle on the table.

I know. Maybe move. I saw the funniest fucking story ever from someone who was Adam massage, Adam getting a massage. I saw the funniest fucking story ever from someone who was Adam massage, Adam getting a massage. I don't know, I said Adam massage. She said she was getting a massage and she had eaten like a huge meal just before.

Okay. And as she was getting a massage, she realized that like her stomach was like gurgling. Uh huh. And she's like, I need to fart. Like I just need to. And so she like stopped the massage therapist to be like, I'm just gonna let you know, I need to fart really bad right now.

And the massage therapist like left the room to give her a moment. She farted and she said it was like the loudest, gassyest, longest tuba fart of all time. And she said that a moment later, she just sees the door crack open. A massage therapist reached in with a kind of airspread and went, and then close the door. I was so sorry.

I think we're watching Inception in here. I'm in a bomb. I'm in a bomb. And the slow retract out. And then came back in like a minute or two later. Oh, man. But I was like, incredible. Incredible. That's so bad. Incredible. And then the slow retract out and then came back in like a minute or two later. Oh, man. But I was like incredible.

Incredible. That's so bad. Incredible. But like, what would you do if that was you? Yeah. Tip very well. I would probably be like, I do have to pass gas. Yeah.

I would say natural. I don't want to do it on you when you're in here. Can you, can we even a product, like a remote controlled air freshener sprayer to sell to massage therapists in this case? A drone? Right. So you leave and then you like push a button outside the room and it goes off and the like a remote controlled air freshener sprayer to sell to massage therapists in this case. A drone, right? So you leave and then you push a button outside the room and it goes off and the person who's in there far

he thinks, oh, what weirdly good timing on that air freshener going off right now. So Breeze's new product line, it's drone air fresheners. Just from massage parlors. Mm. It's a practical strike on that fart. Yeah, see the last time I went for a massage, I, my muscles must be really fucked up

because when I went, the massage therapist recommended that I come back at least like every month for the next like six months of my life. Yeah. Yeah, because it was the first they were just gonna want to get more massage. It was very painful. And like I, I used to like massageers really like hard

and like like Andrew, like it's super, like a good deep tissue. I, my body just can't, it's just so painful and like I was squirming and it was just bad. And then I guess I did a little bit with barmas. They gave me like those hot stones. Yes.

And they were so fucking hot, but I didn't want to say anything. It's all sitting there and I was like, I'm so scared. It was like on my back and my face was in like the face rolling out, just I was going, oh. Oh, God.

Oh, just remember your pain from this. It's like a torture scene in a spy movie. They're like, you're going to tell us everything we want to know. I'm sorry. I'm the same way where it's like, when you're getting a massage and they're asking you, they're like, how's the pressure?

And I don't think I've ever gone, it could be a little harder or a little softer whatever. I'm always like, great. It's great. Even though it's killing me right now. Keep going. Because you know what the end, it's gonna feel so good.

I know. And just let the endure it for a little bit. I know. Again, yeah, I wanted to feel like work was done. I got it. I'm like, this feels, I wanted to feel like work was done. I want it to feel like it's corrective. Like I'm like making up for how chabbly I sleep at. Whenever I go now, I only get upper body massages. Because I'm like, listen, getting your legs massages

nice and all, I don't need it. I need my shoulders and back and neck and like all that area I've done so heavily that I'm like I'd rather spend the hour that I have with you on just that. Yeah. Nothing else. Concentrate. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, there's a spa that I like in town, uh, in Austin, here in town. Here in Austin. Um, that, uh, does like, there's like a package and it's, uh, amazing. It is. First you go in for, uh, sauna, um, a little sauna, then when you step out, they drape a like scented cold towel on your shoulders and they're like contrast to that, incredible.

Then you go in, they give you the massage, you're like hour long massage, and then a body, and then they finish it with a mint scalp massage. Oh, dude. Unreal, unreal. It is so good. Whatever mint like a salve they have that they use on the scout, I like, I want a bottle of it.

They don't sell a bottle. They don't sell it by the bottle, but I want it. You got to buy the massage pendant. You got to buy it on this. I mean, seriously, oh, I used to be out. Oh, so good. That sounds amazing. It is incredible.

I know. That sounds amazing. It's so good. Yeah, I'll give you the deeds after the show. No free advertising. I talk about this all the time with a lot of my like women friends. How a lot of us grew up going to sleep over and stuff where people would play with each other's hair. Whether it was like braiding each other's hair, brushing each other's hair, or just like playing with it, that feeling is unmatched. There is nothing better than having someone play

with your hair. And the fact that there's not a business where you could just buy like a 30 minute hairplay, essentially. I want that, like if I ever leave your teeth, that's what I'm doing. Starting a business where you could just pay to get your hair played with and brushed

and like scalp massage and stuff like that. Like, dude, I would fuck with that. So good. But one of those scalp massagers that goes over your entire head. Human hands unmatched them. Like those scalp massages are nice and stuff. It's nice for like a quick little feel, but.

You're making someone rich right now. They're putting together the business already. If any of you, if any of you fuckers start this, you better call me. And by that, I mean, I'm the team. Yeah, we get free head massage or a hairplay for the rest of your life. There you go. Yeah.

Yeah, no, I will say in a totally, total non-sexual way, I do like someone to pull my hair. And I just mean like a light like the tug just a light, yeah, just like the light tug of it. Yeah. Unbelievably, actually, you've had someone play with it. Unmatched. Yeah. Unbelievable. You're like, tell you if you had someone play with it. Unmatched. Yeah.

Unmatched. Destiny has started to braid my hair because it's getting longer. Yeah. And I'm like, I do agree. It's very nice. I don't get it. I'm just chilling there laying on the couch.

Playing with hair. And this someone's just sitting there playing with them. Like, this is kind of nice. Me and my first season of this thing where it was just like, we used to trade off. So it's like 10 minute intervals of just like, okay, you need me for 10 minutes and like you would sit by the foot of the couch

as like you're watching TV and they would like play with your hair. And they'd be like, okay, 10 minutes my turn and you would just swap. That's my sister's word too. Real theater class hours, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like there was a staple of that period in life.

Any sleepover party. Yeah, yeah. More sleepovers I guess is what we're saying. Yeah. You know, listen into records. I wish it wasn't weird for adults to have sleepovers. And I don't mean in like the sexual way. No, of course.

Like hanging out. Like I want to have a sleepover with my gal pals. No, I know it. I think that'd be blessed. I feel like that happens. I feel like that happens. I think you get a taste of that with like weddings and like, you know, bachelor parties.

But, but, but, but, bachelor parties, it's so funny. Every time I've known someone who's had a wedding, oh, who's gotten married and had a bachelor or a bachelor at party, it is so much work. It's like, it is not relaxing at all. Like you go and, it's like mandatory fun, which always sucks. And it's like mandatory fun, which always sucks.

And it's like a ton of work, everyone stressed out because it's all leading up to like a really stressful day that's supposed to be the best day of your life. So, which is also the most stressful day. Which is also the stressful day. Which is also the stressful day. Which is all work and it's all timing and all this stuff. So like, I feel like doing like a group vacation

is where you get kind of like, I was actually thinking. Ladies to like the lake house or whatever. When we went for, it was like your birthday. Oh, no, it wasn't your birthday. It was like Blaine's birthday, Eric's birthday, Coles's birthday. Yes.

And they like rented a lake house. This was, I think, 2020, right? Or like 2021. It was like during the pandemic, but things were like a little better at the time. And it was like. It was the summer after vaccines like a little better at the time. And it was like. It was the summer after vaccines came out. It was the sweet summer after vaccines.

What things were like starting to get better. Before I'm a cron. Before it was before I'm a cron. I think it was also right before Delta too, maybe. I don't remember that. I just remember that it was like, I got my first vaccine in April, and then it was like three months of bliss

until December, or say three months of bliss, I was like that summer was like, yeah. Yeah, we're back. Double toned job. No, it was like really fun times like having like all that summer and that was when it was, but yeah, that was like, yeah. They had rented a giant lake house

and like invited a bunch of people over for like the weekend essentially. And like people stayed over and there was like a pool and there was tons of food and it was like this whole house that they had rented. And that slaps. That is the best way to spend time as an adult with your friends.

It was a blast, I will say, though, having gone two years without drinking any alcohol because I'm totally a social drinker, I don't drink alone at home. So I was like, I'll have a few, just felt absolute garbage. You fell asleep on the couch at have a few just off felt like absolute garbage. You fell asleep on the couch at one point. Yeah, of course I did. Oh, man, you're talking to Mr. Sleep on the couch. It was just like demoed activity. Yeah, truly. It's like,

oh, wait, is that a low TV playing like an old 80s action movie over there? Good night. On a leather couch in a hot day. Yeah, hot day. Oh, man. And if you guys ever rented out a cabin in the middle of winter, with like a hot day. Yeah, I'm a hot day. Oh man. And if you guys ever rent it out a cabin in the middle of winter, with like a hot tub outside. Shit. I've never done that. The hot tub on a cold day. I have done a hot tub like on a snowy frozen day.

Is it nice? Yeah, it's something there. Yeah, it's something there. Oh, it's really nice. I feel like getting out of the miserable. But if you build up so much heat, yeah, you just like it's real. Interesting. Yeah, you just like internal. Interesting.

Yeah, oh, I got, I mean, go in, go in. Don't dawdle and spend an hour outside, but you can make your way back inside no problem. No, it's not like the second you get it. You're like, yeah, fortunate enough to do that one time when I was like 18, 19, one of my friends running out of cabin and just invited us up, just like sporadically. And we went up there and it was probably one of the most fun and relaxing times just being able to do that. But if it's snowing outside, make sure you jump

in the snow before you jump in the hot tub. Yeah, big time. Oh yeah. Go make a snow angel with like just like a swim suit on and then jump in and And it feels wonderful. And did you know something? You can use snow to dry off. That's something that I did not.

Because the water that's on your body, like, will it... It'll attach to the snow. It'll attach to the snow and then you brush the snow off. So you can weirdly dry off a snow. It's kind of crazy. Interesting. You have to do it quickly though.

You can't just like leave it on your body, but you can, isn't your drop snow.

After speaking of, to title back, after the snowstorm of two years ago, nothing was like, you know, the big snowstorm of two years ago, treated myself with a little Airbnb stay out in Fredericksburg, and it was still cold. It wasn't power out cold, but it was still cold. Treated myself to a little Airbnb stay out in Fredericksburg that had a hot, still cold, hot tub outside, TV adjacent, sitting out in the cold in a hot tub, watching the Simpsons. That's dream.

It's a dream. What else do you need? That was it. I bought a bunch of candy. I don't know, I don't know, treat myself. Real kid treat. What were we talking about? We're talking chocolate, are we talking, I don't, I don't treat myself real. Kid treat. What were we talking about? We're talking chocolate, are we talking gummy bears?

Oh, oh, cuss. The whole spread. I mean, it really was just like, I had the nerds gummy clusters, elite candy, elite candy, nerds gummy clusters. Also, they don't make any more, but the black forest gummies had juicy bears, which were, juice, we're gummy bears with like a little juicy, like,

liquid center. Incredible. They don't make them anymore. Oh, I should have cooted your board if. Sweet. Yeah, exactly. Now I had a real snack time. It was nice, but yeah, hot tub when it's cold or when it's snowing, it is absolutely different.

My mistake, I've only done it once. My mistake is, I did it years ago, we did an event at Park City during Sundance. My mistake was, I did it years ago, we did an event at Park City during Sundance. My mistake was that I started drinking. I got really drunk and then I got in the hot tub. And then you felt even worse. Yeah, like amplifies it and makes it a million times worth. I was like young and dumb and had no idea. That was a fucking long night. You didn't vomit in the hot tub, did you? No, okay. That was it. I was only didn't do that. It was like a sin. I made it back to the bathroom in the condo. I

Is this someone where you pissed into the snow? I pissed on a snowman. Yeah, I pissed on a snowman Yeah, I dissolved a snow you I dissolved a snowman with my piss as the creator was walking by Wow, we're back to our room and Went into the bathroom to vomit, locked the door, passed out and spent all night on the floor of the bathroom. Woo! Not good times.

Not good times. It was a good time when you were in it, in the moment, and then the morning after. And then very careful about drinking and then getting into a hot tub is the moral of the story. You don't drink much anymore, do you? No, I don't really drink all. Yeah.

I feel like getting super drunk, getting in a hot tub is like, how people fucking die. Like, I think so. Like, you hear about people like having like, either like, not even just like, drowning, but also like having cardiac events in hot tub because you get super hot and are also dehydrated.

And like, there's some like, real bad. It dilates your blood vessels as well. Yeah. There's some bad combo of like, getting super fucked up and then getting a hot tub. That's not even just like, oh, I fell asleep,

passed out and drowned. It's like something bad. Yeah, you could die. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Learn from our mistake. Well, learn from my mistake. Do not do that. Gus is in particular.

Oh, and I had, I don't even remember where we got this, but we had eaten at like that night. We had eaten at a Mexican restaurant in Park City and like as an appetizer, we'd gotten like the Guestof La Mialo, which is like a Melty Street cheese. It's the best. Oh my god. And I'd eaten a ton of it. So when I started vomiting later that night it all came back. Was there Choney so mixed in? Yeah, it was so nasty going back up. Oh, it was so nasty coming back up. Oh, it was so bad.

You brought up that cheese and I went, oh, that sounds so good. I'm so hungry. I'm eating it like on. Oh, man, it is, God, I haven't had, I haven't had a case of plenty of it. I'm so, it is so good. It's so good.

It's one of my dad's absolute favorite things, but yeah, mix it, because like they bring it to you and the cheese is on fire. Yeah. It's plain, literally flaming and it melts down and then you mix it with tortillas and the, oh, with chitis. So that, again, another amazing thing to eat,

absolute horror show I can imagine coming back up. What a nightmare. It's like this, just imagine all of this is milk cheese. Yeah, that looks delicious. But it's not coming back up. But it's not like a queso, it's not like a liquid thing. It's something that has to be on fire literally when they bring it to you

because it's just a low melting point cheese it's something that has to be on fire literally when they bring it to you because it's like a low melting point cheese. So it does recongeal pretty quickly. So that's why they bring it to you, Fleming, so you can eat it kind of in a semi-liquid state, very fast, it's the fucking best. Yeah. Oh, so good.

Man, I am hungry. I need to try this now, I'm so hungry. I don't know any place here in Austin. I feel like I haven't seen that on a menu in years. Does Fondas and Miguel do it? I feel like they would have it. That feels like something they in years. Does Fondas and Miguel do it? I feel like they would have something they would have there. Fondas and Miguel. Fondas and Miguel, it's like the best Mexican for restaurant.

It's over on North Loop. It's not too far. Yeah, okay. We have to go. It's amazing, it's really good. It's a really good Mexican for restaurant. It's like, I don't know, it's a weird beast because they do best green enchiladas.

Oh my gosh, they're so good. This is just food chat. Welcome to Foodcast. Yeah. We're talking about our favorite places in town, but like, that's always been the RT podcast. You guys need to talk about where you wanted to go get lunch every time.

Yeah, so they have a Kaisafu Ndilo, which is essentially the same thing. Fundito. Yeah, because it's weird, it's like, it's like a higher in Mexican food restaurant, but it's still somehow like feels very homemade like a higher in Mexican food restaurant, but it's still somehow like Feels very homemade, very interior Mexican food. Yeah, it's really good But yeah, I don't know any other places besides that that would do flamming out of like what's in my head?

Was in San Antonio. That feels like a San Antonio thing. Yeah, what was the thing you were telling me about again? Again, the slammer slammer's what what you've ever been at a Southside market, barbecue? No, what? What? It's a barbecue place around Elgin. But there's one here in, there's at least one in Austin. There's one over in the Arbor walk by Mighty Fine. And they have something they call a Slammer, which is a jalapeno that's been cut open, stuffed with cheese and sausage and then all of it wrapped in bacon.

And it's like the size of my fist. Mm-hmm. And it hits like the size of my fist. And it hits you. It's really good. The problem is that it's so big and dense. The first time I ordered it, I didn't realize how big and dense it was. So I ordered all my food. Like, yeah, give me a half pound of brisket,

give me the beans, give me the bread, give me a slumber. Give me a slumber too. You're like, oh shit, I just ordered two meals. Yeah. But I got two meals, I got leftovers. Yeah. That's part of ordering too much food. Yeah, I just ordered two meals. Yeah. But now you got two meals, now you got leftovers. Yeah. That's part of ordering too much food.

Yeah, I've talked about the last, I was on off topic a couple of weeks ago. It's really good. If you had the chance to, if you're at Southside Market, if you come here for RTX, this July, 7th and 9th, visit Southside Market, get yourself a slammer, there's a quote it looks like. Yeah, see, it looks good and I thought about it

because I saw a video on Salt Lake barbecue, which I hear about a lot here, but I's like out in a lock heart, right? It's in driftwood driftwood. Yeah, and that looked really good And I was like what was talking about I was like I was just thinking about bargur. He's talking about someone was like I guess I couldn't remember what it was and the slamer I also talked about the smoke potatoes at Rudy's. Oh, yeah Okay, I'm gonna get really I'm gonna get into those lately. Oh question post to the group. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, actually. I've been to try. Fuckingily. I'm getting into those lately.

Question post to the group. Here we go. Yes, sir. Potato, egg and cheese taco. You're getting a breakfast taco. It's a potato, egg and cheese. How do you like your potatoes in that taco? Now, if I were how to taco truck,

I would offer potatoes two ways. One, doing the kind of cubed, just kind of straight potatoes, but then I would offer potatoes two ways. One, doing the kind of cubed, just kind of straight potatoes, but then I would also offer hashed brown potatoes. Like, really hashed brown like chopped style, like kind of like laid flat, because like, so my question is, how do you like your potatoes?

And because it comes in a bunch of different ways. So usually what I get is it's like the cubed potatoes. They are a little bit soft. Yeah, yeah, so it's almost the cubed potatoes. They are a little bit soft. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's almost like boiled potato kind of flavor. But it's so much smarter to do a hash brown kind of thing. Maybe not as crispy as a lot of hash browns, maybe just a little bit softer.

Because then you're getting a more even, like I find when I chew onto the cubed potato, it kind of slips out sometimes. Yeah. Or you just get like a weird corner of one. Sure. And that would be like a perfectly like coded potato burrito thing. I love dice potatoes in breakfast tacos,

but a lot of places make them too big. Like they're too big of a dice. And so like if they made them smaller, like I love like really small dice like breakfast potatoes. Like home fries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Home fried dice potato. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they were small,, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If they were small, perfect. Yeah, because it gives you like that hash brownie feeling as well. Exactly. And I think also doing a hash brown style gives you that crispy texture that like in a potato egg and cheese, you're eating three almost liquid that like you're like very, very soft things. Here's the way I do it. I prefer the dice like Joe's talking about.

Sure. Except when I make them, I do the potatoes in an air fryer with a small dice. That way they end up really crispy. And you still get that crispy texture but keep the small diced aspect of a potato. Man, that's what he's doing. That is the way to do it.

That is the best way. Because otherwise, it does end up mushy like you're talking about. Why do we have like mashed potatoes in there? Why don't we, let's just, let's just do something crazy. What is this thing? Remember, Taco Delic does mashed potatoes in there? Why don't I, let's just, let's just, there's something crazy. Oh, interesting. Remember, Taco Delic does mashed potatoes. Do they?

Taco Deli's potatoes are mashed potatoes in there. Yeah, in their potato, potato, I can choose, I feel like they're mashed potatoes. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait. You would need something textually different though. Like, maybe throw some like chicharones in there or something.

Oh, yeah, there we go. No, that would taste really good. Yeah, because the mashed potatoes feels like it's too creamy. Mm-hmm. Like, I do like the idea of having consistency in the potato, but like that's just too, although it probably tastes delicious. I, chat if you're out there, correct me.

I pretty sure Taco Deli does match potatoes in their potato, that's in their potato, I can't just go. Just a match potato taco, just sounds like like a gogert taco. Yeah. I can't just say yeah. Exactly.

A gogert taco. Oh, I'm sorry. Breakfast. good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, seeing that slammer peaked into my mind, do you have a favorite or what is a memorable, like original food that a restaurant created? Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I'm saying? Do you have a favorite or like a blooming onion from? Yes, something that's like, we invented this at this here restaurant. I don't know why I do it in that list, but like.

I've got a very, I've got an answer that kind of cheats the nature of the question. When I grew up on the border, and because it out kind of a small town in the middle of nowhere, across from us in Mexico was the restaurant that invented nachos. So I used to go there and eat there all the time. So it's like, yes, nachos,

because I used to eat them at the restaurant where it's like, they invented it. So that's why I say it's kind of the cheap answer to your question, but very good. But they did invent the nacho there. They didn't invent it, but it was one of their specialties that they used to have, which I'm still bitter about the fact that they took it off their menu.

The almond draft test used to have a green chili mac and cheese. Oh, yes. On their menu, and it was the fucking best thing you could get there. And they took it off the menu. Like the first they changed it into like a smaller portion that wasn't as good. Yeah.

It was like, okay, at least you're still getting something. And then they just completely removed it. I don't know if it was like too hard to make. Well, I feel like they've changed the menu. They've scaled it back since COVID. I mean, I think. Yeah, significantly. Yeah, I think they're maybe starting to branch out

a little more back to where it was before. I think they were just trying, they were in survival mode. I was, it was a, it was a mac and cheese that came in a skillet and it had like breadcrumbs and like green chilies and it was like so fucking good. We still talking about food. I know. This is really different time. Yeah.

Across from our old, when our old office used to be downtown, like seventh and congress, cross musk was the roaring fork, which is a restaurant. It was in the lobby of what was the Stephen F. Austin hotel. when our old offices to be downtown, like seventh and Congress, cross-muscles of the Roaring Fort, which is a restaurant, it was in the lobby of what was the Stephen F. Austin hotel, they renamed it something different now. The Roaring Fort is still there, but they have a green chili pork stew, which is fucking phenomenal.

And it's so good and they'll serve it to you with like a side of warm tortillas. Ooh, amazing. They have a good cedar plate salmon at that place too. I don't eat fish, but yes, I do know plenty of people who eat it and say that it's funnara. You don't eat fish. Not really, no.

Did I not know that about you? I eat sushi, but I don't eat like fried fish or stuff like that. Disgusting. Don't do you, you're not a long john solvers. It might be long john solvers that turn me off of fish. It's very well, very possible. Yeah. Now for words from our sponsor, long john, so,

how do you guys have a drink? Perk an an. Mine's not gonna be nearly as fancy, but it's something that's very homie to me. Sure. A Mexican pizza from Taco Bell. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And that's why I post it like, I, I, I, those are the ghost and there's like an original creation from a restaurant. It can be like a fast food. Like, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely. Dude, there's just something about the Mexican pizza. It can be like a fast food. Like, I mean, mech, shit. Oh yeah, absolutely. Dude, this is something about the Mech's and Pizza. It's so simple.

It's really not all that great. But then when you eat it, you're like, oh, this is great. No, it's insane. Oh, no, I mean. When you're in the mood for Taco Bell, it fucking sucks. Nothing else hits.

Like, nothing does force me to like Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah. There is, there is something, I mean, like, it truly, there are a few things like that where it's like, I know this, I know the sucks, but this is like, I want to bite nostalgia. Like I want to taste like a time place

and like something very specific, and I feel like yeah, that hits in that ballpark. Absolutely. Did you have a, did you have a, I mean, that's why I said, I don't know that I have, like I don't know, I pose the question, but I didn't know if I had any answer myself. And I'm trying to think of something that I have, I don't know, I pose the question, but I don't know if I had any answer to myself. And I'm trying to think of something that's like,

again, feels a little bit more, like a restaurant that created the thing, like where it's, in fact, I'd be in original food, but it's like a twist on it. I feel like I had, oh, you know, I mentioned this on the podcast a while ago, but there was a breakfast place in here in town that used to, oh, it was on the pancake podcast. There was a plant, there was a brunch place in town that used to crumble up cinematoes

crunch in their waffle batter. And that's like, one of those things, it's like, that's not on a, like, it's a, whatever they've had a waffle for hundreds of years, but there was like, oh, this is like, cool, interesting take on it that like, ooh, ooh, I love it. So good. Christmas toast crunch in your waffle batter. Also, hot tip, make waffle batter the night before. It's better when it sits in the freezer or the refrigerator overnight. Same thing if you make cookies.

If you make the dough and then let it sit in the fridge for at least a couple hours, 24 hours, it's possible. When you scoop it out and bake it so much better. Yeah. Are you guys big breakfast people? I'm not. Love it. Yeah, it depends.

Yeah, I'm not like much. I never really eat breakfast, but like a good brunch. I'll eat it. Have you guys ever tried a place called snooze? Yeah. Okay. Do you like snooze? It's fine.

Have you ever had their giant pancakes? No. No. You have it. It's the best thing it's news. Oh really? They've got like so they they always got these like Special flavors and like the pancakes are huge. You're like this thick. Oh, so they're thick, but they're super airy super airy and light. So does it feel like heavy on your stomach when you're eating it? Not really No, I mean like but like their pancakes are really good if you've got a snooze and you haven't tried their pancakes You should try their pancakes.

I don't, I don't, usually it's always a toss up whenever I go for like a breakfast or a brunch because if you want like the eggs and bacon and stuff like that, but I'm like, I do want the French toast or the pancakes or like the sweet things. I just thought of mine. Sorry. I said, because a cute waffle cuted off. There was a place I haven't had in a long time, but there was a food truck down on West, oh, sorry, East, East Sixth before it became,

and a whole other city. There was a food truck that would do chicken and waffle tacos. So it would be a waffle, or that they would fold in half, put chicken and it had like syrup. And it's syrup. What was it called? And hot sauce in it.

That's it. The crispy, sweet, savory, had the like fat from, because it was like dark meat chicken. Yeah. I might just... It was made that. Well, I've eaten that. Yes.

What was that place called? I can't remember. I can't remember either. It's been so long. But I remember like... It was a food truck. And I remember I would, every time I would go to East, they said I would get it if I remember right

They were one of the original food trucks at RTX 2011 when we were in the field It was one of the trucks. I want to say was one of the trucks that that did show up food truck Austin Wow chicken waffle taco waffle taco. Let's see if Google could help me out here. Oh incredible chat GPT waffle taco. Let's see if Google could help me out here. Incredible. Chad G.P.T. It's if it's not open anymore. It was a red truck.

It was a red truck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was it it wasn't torches? Wasn't no, no, no, although torches did a version of it. And it's now there's a velvet taco. Yeah.

Yeah. It's not open anymore. I don't know if I'll be able to find it. I feel like you think you think like, like oh the hot sauce and the maple syrup you think it wouldn't work No, I'm wrong. It fucking absolutely fucking slaps. It's incredible. Yeah, that's genius I'm gonna do that. I feel like it could also work with a pancake too. You could do with pancake like full of pancake and half with the chicken there Yeah Yeah, sometimes what I do if I go to brunch with some friends like everyone everyone will order their food on like, should we get a french toast for the table? Because everyone wants a little bit of sweet. Of course. And so we usually get like other pancakes for

french toast, like for the table, so everyone can kind of share. Have you had the french toast bites at Easy Tiger? Yes. No. They are good. They are good. Yeah. Those are really good. That's a real like get one for the table a couple for the table Yeah, it's perfect because they are a little like it's like mid little like bag at medallion type like style like I'm like guys What was it lucky jays checking in waffle? Lucky jays god that was some serious detective work that figured out are they open anywhere? This place they're gone. Oh, no. RIP, poor one out. Poor one out.

Poor one out for Lucky Jays. Man, that was good. Oh, that was good, Bob. I was gonna be laying in bed like at 3 AM. What the fuck was that place, Kyle? We'll take Andrew's cinnamon toast crunch waffles. Make that the outside. And then the fried chicken.

Oh my God, he's blooming. And then it'll sprinkle in little bit of chili pepper. It's chili, that could cheese. Man, it was not meant to fly some hot. It's not a slice of a Mexican pizza. There you go. Oh. You were talking about a thick pancake.

We did the pancake podcast a couple of months ago. We made a rice cooker pancake, which ended up being super thick. But the problem was, it was our first attempt at doing it. It was just so bland. It was just so like, no flavor. Nothing complex to it. It's like, oh, we should have put some fruit in there

or we should have like spiced it up or seasoned it up or done something. The batter ratio was maybe off. Something was off about it. How thick was this pancake? Was it like actually home? Oh, no, yeah. It was like small-time thumbbook cake.

Yeah, it was, yeah, it was like small-time thumb book cake. Yeah, it was like a whole cake that we baked. But there was something about it wasn't even just like that it was bland. There was some stuff out of the flavor of it that was also like. It's just very one note. It was just very and it was a lot of it. Was it browned on the bottom? Yeah. Okay. And on the top. It was almost like it almost had like a crust. It was so cooked. Yeah. It was like a little tough to cut in. Truly cake-like.

I mean, really? Really? Really put in the cake and pancake. I want to learn how to make those Japanese pancakes. The ones that are like super airy and like really jiggly. I've never had. I want to learn how to make those. And then if I learn it, I'll bring them.

And then you guys can try them. I went to a place. Oh, yes. A pancake podcast, you point out. I went to a place, one of the times I was in Tokyo and I had those. It was close to a place. I went to a place Okay, a pancake podcast you point out. I went to a place one of the times I was in Tokyo and I had those it was What's a place? I'm to a place out there and yeah, I had some of those there. So fucking good with like that homemade whipped cream That you can tell like you just whipped up and put on top. Oh

So fucking good Man, I'm so hungry Really really like working ourselves into a lather over all this food talk. Yeah. I keep seeing so many videos of food in Japan. And it like, I already wanted to go there super bad. But now I'm just like, I feel like I need to add another week on to the trip just to

try all the food places I want to go to. See, I was fortunate enough to grow up with Korean and Japanese food. So it's like, I see a lot of that stuff. I'm like, man, that looks good, but a lot of it is nostalgic for me. You know? Oh, come on. They're so like thick and fluffy. Man, I might have to go to Kirby Lane for dinner.

Get some breakfast for dinner kind of situation. I love a breakfast for dinner. Oh, yeah. I love a breakfast. I'm gonna and Trevor and I will do that where I'm just like, wait for dinner and he's like, I don't know what you want. I'm like, I can make some like bacon and pancakes and some eggs and he's like, yeah. Yeah. I love making breakfast.

That's an, that's the thing I always like usually eat this. Basically like a scramble. It's just like potatoes, onions, garlic, and then we'll throw in like breakfast sausage and an egg. And I don't know if you guys like hot sauce in breakfast food? I love hot sauce. Oh yeah.

Chulula will probably be the best one. For me, I love chulula. I like tap, tapatio is like different kind of spice, but like Tabasco in breakfast foods is also I'm not I like Valentina yellow bird's really good Valentina is my like table salsa like of the like of the Chalula Tapatio like bottle table salsa Valentina I like Chalula. I think the best for like a breakfast kind of thing. But I like Frank's red hot sauce a lot too. I do like Frank's.

Frank's actually quite good. Yeah, I'll put that in my mac and cheese sometimes and just, but that sounds delicious. Another original creation, I say original creation, it's just their take on something. But Magnolia, pancake house here in Austin, had something I love. I mean, maybe it's still in there,

but you haven't been in a while. But it was Neptunian landscape, which was like bed of home-fried potatoes, There's something I love. I mean, maybe it's on there, but you haven't been in a while, but it was an Neptunian landscape, which was like bed of home-fried potatoes, cheese, fried eggs, more cheese, and then green chili sauce on top. And... So good.

Get that with a side of cup of tortillas. Shesquispy. Baby, you got a stew going. Oh. It's all so uncertain. When are we done? I mean, just, I'm so hungry. We're like 15 more minutes.

Joe, Joe's looking over at me. I'm turning into a giant turkey lad. I know. We clearly are hungry people. We've been talking about food for like an hour of this hour and 12 minute podcast so far. Food's so good. I know. I feel like whenever so far. Food's so good. I know.

I feel like whenever I travel, that's the goal. Is to eat new food or things that I can't get back home? Yeah. That's the big reason for me to travel. It's like, I wanna eat something I can't fucking eat back home. We really lucked out that something that actually keeps us alive can be so good.

Yeah. You know what I mean? That's a nice way of putting it. I also think that food is the best way to peer into many cultures, in my opinion. And so I'm with you on that. I want to just travel just to eat. Yeah, it's always been my goal.

Hell yeah, I'm all about it. Like I keep, I love spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are great for everything. I keep a spreadsheet of different cities and places I want to eat in each of them. It's like if I see a place online, I'm like, oh, Iets are great for everything. I keep like a spreadsheet of like different cities and places I wanna eat in each of them. It's like if I see a place online, I'm like, oh, I need that to the spreadsheet. And like whenever I go there,

it's like, oh, I wanna eat something. Let's see what I wanna eat in, boom, there we go. Gonna eat that. I, so when I wrote to Portland over the summer, I bill Oakley former Simpson's writer, now like just like TikTok Instagram food Guide as like the Reuse Food. Fantastic, really funny and has some interesting takes. He lives in Portland and like hit me to a bunch of spots

I would never have thought to try when I was there. And I think we talked about this with, I can't remember if it was on the podcast, but Samic in Portland, best pastrami sandwich in the world. Nothing beats a good pastrami sandwich. It will be unreal. I could not believe it. Samic in Portland, if you're not in the next time you're,

this is a crap. This is some free advertising. Are you looking at the photos? Yeah, this looks amazing. I don't think I'm happy about that. Maybe the best sandwich I've ever had. I know where to go to get you one Yeah, I think it's been years since I've had a good like Prostrani sandwich

There's a bagel place not too far from here a curl nervous Charlie set has a good hop a strong sandwich On a big this looks incredible. No, it's everything on this sandwich website Yeah, so the God Seriously, it's unbelievable and I was one of those things where it's like oh my god I got I got it I was there for I was there for a few weeks, but I got it two times like One day after the other I got it two two days in a row for lunch because that's not gonna Yeah, I don't blame you it's oh

I think I've ever had Japanese sandwiches before Do you know I'm talking about dude? I bet Jeb I guess has Okay, so guys, you know I'll talk about that The last time I went to Japan, I saw a picture online that someone had just posted it was just their hand with a sandwich And I thought that sandwich looks so good and there was no context to it No like no listing of what it was from I like reverse Google search it. Like I scoured the web and I found, oh, it's this place in Kyoto. It's like, I went out of my way to go eat this sandwich because I saw someone post a fucking picture of it

randomly online. So there is, there is, because like, I was just looking around what's in Austin, because I haven't really explored Austin too much after being here. Yeah. There is a guy here, a Japanese chef who owns his own business and he makes Japanese sandwiches like chicken katsu sandwiches. It's just the bare famous like egg salad sandwiches. Like if you don't know what a Japanese sandwich is, it's just like the most perfect, airy thing you've ever seen. It just looks so good. But yeah, there is a guy here who does it. It might be over over there. Yeah, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sandwiches they got like dessert sandwiches. I've seen those strawberry ones before. I've seen people get those at like different bedding machines or whatever.

Look at that. They might be a little expensive, but if it's the only one you can get, the only one you can try it might be worth it. Yeah, how do you get it? Could you get it? You can order it. Because he like, I guess he just makes a certain amount

every day. I'm gonna do that. And if it sells out, it sells out. First grab and go, Japanese Sando shop in ATX. Walkins welcome Wednesday to Friday 10 30 a.m. To 2 30 p.m. It is open for fucking hours a day. Yeah, I mean hey make that make that money I'll send it to you more. Yeah, please link it to me. It sounds amazing. I'm gonna go get it. I'm so happy you brought it up because I forgot

Until right now because it was close. I drove by after 2 30 p.m. So I couldn't check it out. So I was, I had this really silly moment. I went to a Japanese mart somewhere in town and picked up some random things, including some mochi, which I love. And I brought it home and I put the package down and I went, I could read that. Oh really? I know what that says, because I'm learning Japanese.

Yeah. Even though mochi is just mochi. Yeah, sure. So I was like, I knew what that says, because I'm learning Japanese. Even though mochi is just mochi. I knew what it was, but I was just like mochi. That's awesome. I know what it's letters and what they mean and what it says. So that was pretty cool. Did you get like mochi, just like regular mochi? Or was it like mochi ice cream?

It was like a red bean inside. Red bean. It was like not cold. It was like a warm. I used to just eat, I don't know if you guys ever have been to like, Froyo places. But they used to have, like, they always had like those little mochi, not really balls, but like little things of mochi. Yeah, I used to just buy those, like, my mom used to just

buy those when, like, we were younger. And we just eat, like, bags all the time. It's like, is that a coin? It's so good. It's so good. It's so good. It's so bad. Oh, it's terrible. It's terrible. It's just rice flour and basically sugar.

Yeah, it's all you're eating. Well, it's so good, man. Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a dictively good. Yeah, that's why I got those little motion things. And I'm just like, they're just so satisfying to bite into and like, it's just a little stretchy. It's, it's as much about the flavor as the texture. Oh, for sure. Like, it's just like, it's like a fit.. It's as much about the flavor as the texture. Oh, for sure.

It's just like a fit, yeah, the texture is so huge, not no cheese, what's the, so. Because it really is truly nothing else. But I just thought that was pretty cool. It's so mochi. That's awesome. It's like a sign of real progress, right? Yeah, well, where you could actually identify letters

and know how they sound. It's now another thing. I'm learning how to introduce myself and ask people how they are and where they're from and stuff like that. That's where it starts to get really complicated. Rather than, I know the word for red and back and school and pencil and light. And then to actually construct a sentence, it's very different. It's really, language stuff is really amazing

because especially when something clicks for you or where you can understand something, speak something, say something or read something, it really is just like your brain doing a magic trick for you, it has the same, you're like, both of them, like, there's just so long and complicated,

sometimes another language is two of like a simple sentence in English. Like nice to meet you. Does Oyoroshiku anne ga ishi masu? It's like, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, ojyo, it's not tonal though I don't think, right? So like some languages, like it's tonal,

so really depending on how you inflect or where you put the stress, means different things, that is the stuff that blows my mind. I know. But that being said, I'm happy that I grew up learning English because I feel like if you didn't know English from the get-go go it seems like a

fucking nightmare to try to wrap your head around. You think so? Yeah I guess there's a lot of like exceptions to rules. Right and like words that sound the same or spelled differently like something I in Japanese that kind of threw me off is like there's kill and cue. One is today and one is the number nine. And so when it was like telling you to like, click the right one, I was just like, I thought that was what it was. And it's like, oh no, that's today.

This one's nine, but it sounds so similar. Yeah, it's weird, because I grew up listening to Japanese my entire life, because my family are, we're in like native Koreans who grew up in, and we're raised in Japan. So like, I feel like I have a mix of cultures in my family, but like, they feel more Japanese. I mean, in Korean, they always speak Japanese. But like, Korean Japanese are so similar. They have a lot of the same words.

It's just that Japanese sounds out every single syllable. Yeah. Whereas like, Korean, you kind of jumble some stuff together, even though they're the same exact word, and they just have like, one has double the syllable. And the word has like, double the amount of syllables. Language is just so crazy. It's weird.

Yeah, it's just weird. Language is weird. Yeah, definitely. Well, even like, on a fundamental level, like sentence, construction, or or I think it even alters the way your brain is wired to think about things. Yeah. It's just really strange to me.

Like, you know, the thing I can really think about is like Spanish. Like, putting, Spanish versus English, where in one of them you have your noun and then your descriptors. And then when you put your descriptors and then your noun. Yeah.

And it's like, oh, I can see the bonuses, or like the plus and minuses to both of those approaches, but one's not necessarily right or one's not necessarily wrong. Yeah. It's just different ways to approach the same thing. Yeah. It's also like the same thing with like rolling ours, right? Like, some cultures grow up knowing how to, like, that's just how they talk, because rolling ours, and then you have people who can't do it whatsoever because it's not like in Hebrew with a club

The weird one to me, you know speaking of Korean is like how there's no F sound in Korean. No, it's put Yeah, so it becomes a P. Yeah, anytime there's an F. It's a P. It's that coffee. It's copy I'm copy Oh wow Which also if you say it if you say copy it's also nosebleed I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Japanese lessons are like how to say different places in Japanese and most of them are just like the word in English but like sound it out. So like Paris is Paris and like Europe is Yorupba and America is Ameri-Ka and so it's like essentially the same thing. But then like I think it's Netherlands is Orando and the UK is Igui Risu. So it's like everything else is like, just where is Orando? America. Oh, sorry. Netherlands is Orando.

And also you run into the issue of whether they're pronouncing the English version of a country or another language. Like I assume that's what Orando is for Netherlands. It must be like another country's way saying it like Germany is not called Germany in Germany. It's you know, Deutschland. Yeah. In Spanish, it's Alemania. It's like you have different words for countries outside of the native language. And Japan is knee-hone. And China, I think, is chugoku. So it's like just trying to remember all those places, too. But it's fun. It's fun learning. Man, that owl is your best friend, huh? That owl is my best friend and my arch nemesis. But it's actually very clever the way Duolingo does

it because it's all gamified. And so like, you have a streak going, so if you don't practice, you lose your whole streak. I'm on like day like 78 now, I think, of my streak, so I'm almost like, I can't fuck it up now. Yeah, that's a good way to do it. There was actually, when we went to the premiere for Evil Dead, the movie ended at like 11 something. I think like 11, 30 or something,

and I hadn't done my Duolingo yet. And so we were just in the lobby waiting to go outside and I'm just like hold on real quick Let me just quickly do my dedicated to the street. How long does it take? You could do like a quick lesson like just reviewing your mistakes or something like that So like you could like a minute or two and you could get caught up But then like there's a leader board and you have to be like in the top 10 to advance to the next but then there's a leaderboard and you have to be in the top 10 to advance to the next section. So you want to get your score up and then it'll notify you if someone jumped ahead of you. Does it do a legal teach Korean?

I'm sure it does. Because I need to re-up on my Korean. It's a great tool for re-if you already know a language a bit and refreshing yourself. I think learning from scratch is a bit challenging on it. I can understand Korean very well. I just cannot speak it anymore. Yeah. I just after just been just been Americanized. It's gotten to the point where I've I scare my in-laws sometimes because they don't they won't really speak English. They only speak Korean and I've been married for so long that like they'll be talking in the car. Then I'll start

laughing and then then everyone will turn and look at me, like, oh yeah, I guess I understood that. Sorry. Are you at the point now where you understand? Yeah, every now and then, I'll be like, dip in and out, like, oh yeah, that was funny. Oh, sorry. That's what's happening with my two sisters who were married

and that's kind of what's happening with their husbands now where they're trying to learn Korean. Oh really? And so like when like they're talking with like my mom or something, they'll understand that they'll try and chime in with something. It's really funny. To make them laugh, like I'm going to be driving if someone cuts me off, I'll like cursing Korean. And they'll start laughing. They probably will laugh. They think it's really funny.

All right, well let's wrap this up. We're going to go eat soon. Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll be back next week live again. We'll see you all then. See ya. Bye. Bye. Do you like apples? Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way.
