Hi Bernie. I'm Bethany. I'm Adam. Hi Adam. I'm Ashley. We have too many fucking people with the same names I know Country and we can start just assigning people new names Oh, I think you're gonna have, because there's no way they're allowed to hire another Bethany. I told them at the beginning they couldn't do that. I do have a little bit of a secret here though.

Little bit of secret. What's the secret? What's the secret? So, I don't know if we said this, have you said this in the podcast? We'll find out. So Patrick, who you may know from us yelling the word Patrick out loud to the booth every episode,

I found out that Patrick is not Patrick's name. Really? He had a different name and the day he showed up at Rysha Keith, he chose to go by Patrick instead of his actual name because there was no other Patrick's here, but there weren't any other of his real name either. And now we have another Patrick that works to your Patrick Matthews, probably an Patrick Lee.

We have a bunch of Patricks, and so but there's no other version of his name, but I wanna say what his name is. Was there not that uncommon in name either? What? I'm trying to think of it as not common name that we don't have. Is there a reason? Is there a middle name in the whole point?

Did you guys know this? The crew, did you guys know this? That Patrick has a suit in them? You're just, he's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right, he's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right?

He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right?

He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right?

He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's basically a liar, right? He's Yeah, he's Samuel. He's maybe his middle name's Adam. That's why he's Samuel Adam. You're Michael. Yeah, Michael. You're Michael. It's really fun like learning all the different names of people. Sam, we're about to do a little bit too, because I want to say,

well, there's not the people too, but I don't want to say what their actual legal name is because now it's like, we, you know, can I have to think about security? Yeah, I think that too. We do. We do. Which is, I said, we wanted to talk to think about security. It's like that too, you know, which is,

I said, we wanted to talk to Bethany about, which Bethany, we got RTX coming up. Hot seat. What can you talk about for RTX coming up? Let's see. We talked about a good amount of, you know, the highlights and what not with the RTX preview. Stream or preview show last,

I think they have something up there right now. What do I see? Oh, the app is up. Oh yeah, so the mobile app went out today which is a really cool thing actually yes we have been getting some tweets about some information being a little bit off trust me we see them we're updating them there's always something that as soon as we publish it it's either not accurate anymore or it you know changes you know that's oh Ashley smiling because or there's someone still

hasn't gotten us her information. I'm really bad at turning in panel descriptions. You would have loved this Bernie. She went, Ashley went to pick up her badge today from Clarissa and Clarissa is like, I'm not giving you your badges until you get me my information. But she still gave me a deal. Well, in fact, I still, I got my badge. I still haven't turned it in, but I'm going to very soon.

Yeah, so RTX guys, August 3rd to 5th, it's coming up. We, I believe you guys were creating the discount code to put up on the screen. We still have that going on if you watch the RTX preview show. It is get for zero RTX. That's going to be good through the end of the day tomorrow. So that will get you 40% off of your badge. So please make sure you do that if you've been like holding out or unsure like make sure you do that today you've been holding out or unsure, make sure you do that today. Yeah, and we still at the point where we sell badges the day of.

We do. It's just now that security is a little bit different. It's not going to be as easy. We can still do it, but we don't get very many walk-ups on site. Yeah. And if you're kind of on the fence about it too, it's like you can look at the app and see the app is really good. Is it the same developer? It's the same developer of the same father of one of my best friends. Mr. Larry Duncan. Mr. Dunks is the developer of the app. Dude, I'm always impressed by it. He's so good. And every year it gets better. Like this year it has places that you can go to eat around the Austin. Yeah, good places to eat because we get that question a lot. And so now we have a place where you can like go and look

for your different types of food, different hangout spots, you know, stuff outside of RTX. This is a good time for people to revisit your vlog too about where to eat around Austin. It's funny. You say that I just watched that earlier today. Is there something you don't agree?

Yeah, what would you add to it? Well, it was a huge debate. So for one of the vlogs, like right in the middle of the vlog year, it would have been during RTX, we went Nate at seven different restaurants, and then we chose, so we'll just go down the list. And you guys tell me what you guys would pick. Okay. We started with breakfast tacos in the morning.

Okay. Because I don't care what anybody says. Barbecue is big in Austin, but I think Austin is like synonymous with breakfast tacos. That's our unique thing. It's like we get, I know other places are breakfast tacos, by the way, but it's like culture here in Austin. Yeah. Yeah. So every every set you go to is like you have breakfast tacos. Breakfast tacos. Where would you go? The two for me are Tyson's tacos on airport and Vera Cruz, which the the food truck is off Caesar Chavez, but they do have one up north now. Dude Vera Cruz. Okay. Oh speaking of which,

I'm gonna mention mine. Torches was the one I would originally said. They wouldn't let us record there though. So we had to go into Poco's Tacos, which is nice. Poco is pretty good. Local business, really great. Go to Poco's Tacos. Would you still suggest Torchies

that are filling up the place and falling off quite a bit? I don't think we can suggest that. For the breakfast tacos, they're so, listen, breakfast tacos to me have to taste like something I couldn't make at home. I get that.

Torchies feel that way. They make a mistake. You know what the mistake they make is? Because two of the big ingredients for me in a breakfast taco are bacon and egg. And when you order something like bacon, egg and cheese, they cook the bacon in the egg. Like they chop it up and then they scramble it

with the egg. No, you want the scrambled egg and then a slap, a bacon there, you know? I also want to know it's like built as the go. I don't want to like them cooking something special for me. It's like they have like these ingredients and they just slap together and break it. Yeah, go.

I'm gonna be though, Tyson's is where we go. Tyson's is my favorite taco place. Tyson's in the... I want to point out something though, in the RTX app, they have a torches listed. And it's a kind of a nice trip if you're good at RTX and you're gonna go to torches because we've talked about it so much on the podcast.

I do think they're great if you've never had them before because they're super decadent tacos. I do think they get the kind of weird thing after a few years, but they're very popular for a reason. The one that's listed in the RTX app is actually the food truck where they started because they started in a first street. Where was that? South first.

I assume it's not there anymore. No, it is there, but it's like, it's an outdoor location. It's a food truck. There's actually a Torchys if you want to go. There's one by the university. That's not there anymore. No, it is there, but it's like, it's an outdoor location, it's a food truck. There's actually a torches, if you wanna go, there's one by the university that's a little bit. Oh, I know which one on Guadalu. Yeah, a little bit further away from the convention center, but probably a little more comfortable in the middle of the road.

Yeah, yeah, I get that. God, I wanna say that there's a trailer somewhere on six now that has them. Maybe that's just Gordos, that could be wrong. But Gordos, talk about food wearing thin man, Gordos. Gordos, Gordos is a really awesome place to take people who are in from out of town, one because it's an excuse to indulge, but it's a limited excuse. I would never go there just because like, what do you mean for?

Let's go to Gordos because that place is everything is so huge and so rich and so don't it. Everything is served on a donut or with a donut. It is. Inside a donut. It is. It is. It is.

It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. go easy on their dinner donut because there are different donuts later. I'm never eating at a different level. Dude, it's really good. It's just, it's just so much. What about breakfast tacos for you? I'm an alcholito girl. She is, man. We love it. Yeah, I really like alcholito. Just breakfast lunch, dinner. Hard to get you from the convention center, little bit. Yeah, there's a couple of different

locations, but I don't think any of them are convenient from the convention center little bit. Yeah, there's the couple different locations But I don't think any of them are a convenient to the convention center So to be probably an Uber at the least so after breakfast out guys. We went straight for barbecue real quick barbecue Oh switch dude, that was which great It's so cool. I'll switch. Yeah, the else which is is out there also not convening to the convention center blacks is probably more convenient to the convention center Right. Yeah, probably Michael weights iron works is the closesting to the convention center. Blacks is probably more convening to the convention center. Right, yeah, probably. Mick Hweitz, Iron Works is the closest thing to the convention. In fact, it's the closest thing period to the convention center, but it's like, I don't know.

So here's a question. I don't like to review things negatively. Well, let's be clear. I can leave it like that. I have a hard time finding bad barbecue. It's just that the bar for barbecue in Austin is so high. It's all good barbecue. And then it's just different tiers of good.

Well, what makes barbecue good for someone who doesn't eat meat? Like why is one place better than another? I like simplicity. Franklin's is actually close to the convention center. If you want to waste six hours in line, you can do that. We're just talking about food places for an hour and a half here about.

Actually, you can order a head on Franklin. So if you order now, you might be able to get it. Pick up. I hear like lots of different things about Franklin's, but the thing about Franklin's is so good, Bethany, is it's basically just salt and pepper and smoke and that's it. Nothing fancy. You know, we even go to places down in La Carte where they don't serve barbecue sauce. All right, where we go after barbecue? We went, we ended up going up by the way, Michael, Michael thweights. That's where we went. Yeah. Okay, trip number three.

Did we go to for burgers after that? That might have been mighty fine. That was, we went to mighty fine. I didn't want to tell them that though, because this was the hotly debated one. What's the best burger in Austin? So what would you, is there a place that's good veggie burger? Oh, man, I can tell you about so many things.

I don't know if I had any here. Really? Yeah. Have you had that impossible burger? It's very bad. Oh, sorry, yes, of course. So the places you had that impossible burger? It's very bad. Oh, sorry. Yes, of course. So the places I've had impossible burger, I hate to say, um, what's the burger place

no one ever wants to talk about? Top-dotty. Yes. Because of the list. It's on the Lizard Dex. But all of the impossible burgers I've had have tasted pretty much the same. So hey, maker right here by us on Maynard has a great impossible burger, which I love, but it tastes very similar to hopdotty, but I wouldn't go to hop-dotty just for that.

What is it to kind of looks like meat? It's not lab-grown, right? It's kind of pinkish, but it's all plant-based. It looks like ground beef and it bleeds. And it crisps up. It's really weird. So have we talked about this before on the air? Why are you vegetarian or are you vegetarian or vegan?

Vegetarian, I could never live without cheese. Cheese good. Yeah, it is so good. But I still always, I guess it's two, it's one part I just don't have the taste for it, but the bigger part is the animal cruelty. I really do believe in that. So if lab meat was made legal tomorrow,

would you let lab grown meat, they grow, have you heard about this? No. They grow meat in a lab. How? So yeah, it's basically cell cultures. So it never, they're like an animal is never involved. Or maybe one animal.

What? Maybe one animal early on. Well, is it one or none? I don't know, let me find out. They got to get the cells from somewhere, right? Yeah, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's lethal. They found a very sick animal, so it's okay. So that ties into the first part of it, though.

It still grosses me out to think of eating an animal. So when I did eat chicken, even that kind of chicken had to be like, finally, it was like shredded chicken. I wouldn't want to eat like a chicken breast or like a slab, you know what I mean? I have a good friend of mine. She is, I would consider it a foodie. In fact, they gourmet foodie. Like she's a good cook.

She likes nice restaurants. She will, she has one rule that I know of at least. She will not eat meat on a bone. She will not have a bone like on her plate. She just is a- That's the reminder that it's a middle. That was part one for me. When I used to eat chicken, it was the same way.

I'm not gonna tear into a wing or anything like that. Oh, man chicken wings are my favorite or ribs or anything. I was I was a vegetarian earlier this year for Three months and I didn't think I would last and I did not last Listen, I mean, I love animals so much, but I got a suck. I can't just not eat it. Would you eat a cat? I know you love cats. No, absolutely not. Okay. I mean, like, listen, like, I understand, there's nothing I could say that would defend the moral argument of eating animals. Yeah.

Nothing, because I believe in 100% that we probably should not eat animals. We've evolved past that point where we can eat non-animals. Yeah. Clearly, you will do it. But, but at the same time, I also just eat animals. Well, it can be fair, like everyone that knows me and that's around me knows that I'm not gonna,

like you can eat whatever you want around me. I'm never gonna point it out and say, you shouldn't eat this, like what I do is my business and what you do is, you're allowed to. Yeah, good way to be, because man, it is very easy for people to feel like they're being attacked when you just talk about the things that you do in your life.

Yeah, and I don't, I mean, that just order what I want. No, I don't. Food, kink, shaming. Where are you at for breast burger? What would you say? Best burger. What do you say? I don't say anything, but go.

You go ahead. It's a tough one in Austin. P Terry's a good one. Okay. In and out is I like the burger that you know, knock off. See, we get very contentious about this. I don't care. I don't care who's knocking off who in the situation.

You're just asking what good burger? Like what do you want? I don't like in and out fries so much. Okay. I feel like there's too much potato and not enough salt. And that's fries suck. But there are peteries and I, you know what though? I really like mighty fine.

Might find it good. Where is that? It's a hike to get there. Oh, yeah. It's so much 71. We used to go there for lunch a lot. Yep. But burger wise, if you want a vegetarian or vegan burger,

bar none best vegetarian vegan burger is from mother's cafe. Yeah, man, that's in Hype Park. Yeah, honestly, it's one of my favorite burgers period and I'm not vegetarian. It's just really good. Okay. But as far as regular burgers go, man, I don't know if I like, it's stupid that I like five guys so much,

but I think five guys is up there. But also Shake Shack. Shake Shack's good. All these places, you can mix them from maybe mighty fine. You can eat them every other city in the world. You know what I mean? If you're gonna have a quintessential Texas burger experience, we almost did this, but it seemed

because it was fast food and we wouldn't do it, it's water burger. And everyone from Texas loves water burger You'll probably recognize the cups the orange and white striped cups because they became an asset in Some video game library and you can see them in all kinds of video games I know the last resin evil they had water burger cups everywhere, but they're not They're not With the logo. They're just the striped orange and white cups So at the instant I saw it,

I was like, why do they have water-burger cups in their house? But they were in the South, right? So I guess it doesn't make sense. All right, let's round this out really fast. So then on the video, the fourth place we went was for margaritas and queso, but we just went to a place off Old Torf. Where's the best queso in Austin?

It's a chewy cheese. Oh my gosh, this is so hard. Can do they have time to drive to San Antonio? That's margarita then, where would you go to drink? Oh gosh, that's hard too. El alma has good, queso, flamillado, and good margaritas.

Have you been there? It's on Barton? Matt's on ranch, that's good too. That one's, I think El alma is a pretty good. I think we've been there. I think that, yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's awesome. They've a little rooftop patio.

They went up for pizza. What would you give for pizza? Home slices like the only option you'd be able to get. How do you say home slice? Which is what you? Well, on Bernie Beck at Pigeot, said home slices isn't very good.

Okay, I should say from like an East Coast perspective, if you're coming from like, shut up. Okay, guys. If you're coming from the East Coast and you go and spend, like these are like 25 to $30 pizzas. One of my favorite things in world about home slice

is that Blaine who tracks every gram of everything he eats all week then and on Sunday he eats an entire one of these and this I think is the medium, right? It's the large yet. He's a blame will eat an entire one of these every single Sunday. I'm not saying that okay That's a bad pizza, but it's super expensive and it tastes like anything you can get in the East Coast So if you live in like Philly in New York, trust it Yeah, which is if you give you kick what you're probably to come to Texas. So like if I'm saying if you're coming from there,

don't bother. Oh, probably. Face the ship in water for it. So via 313 is what you would say. I've never been there. I like via 313. via 313 is nice. We need to say, okay, fine.

We should get out of here from Puy-1 3. Listen, man. Yeah. I'm gonna say Kaisa though. Kaisa though, Torch is the best. What about expensive? Torch is even though I don't like it as a restaurant overall has great case So good it's so many cases in Texas are just velvita and rotel and then torches is like unique

Then we add them on we went for coffee. We went to that stupid Joe's coffee shop that has the I love you so much Time that everybody takes a photo in front of so we just thought we had to do that We actually I think is that your favorite? We did that for the thumbnail. I actually like the one on second street. There's a Joe's and second street that I like. I like any normal coffee shop. My favorite one in the whole world is, and my oldest son, we go there,

every time we go downtown, this place called The Hideout. It's downtown Austin. In fact, I have a collection of that. For the last couple podcasts, I've been wearing different Austin shirts. I actually got them at a little gift shop. It's right off Congress.

If you want to go see where the old Ruchite office used to be, it's now a loft hotel at seventh and Congress, right by the Capitol. There's a, you'll know where the Ruchite office used to be because there's this little coffee shop called the hideout. And when JD was growing up, we would go there and he learned to drink tea and would have muffins and stuff. So we always go back to that place. But I do like Joe's.

I like any place that isn't like a super boutique coffee place because they all serve this, like typically it's an Ethiopian coffee that's very acidic. And to me, I just taste like I'm drinking tomatoes. Which is so weird because the acidity of it, my brain just interprets it that way. So I always have to have her try coffee before we go anywhere.

Although there's a place, it's maybe walking distance, it'd be a long walk, but it's a place called Halcyon that's downtown, coffee place, they do smores, and it's amazing. Is it on a four-treat? Yeah. Yeah. That's not keep out of a hike, I don't think, yeah.

Yeah, I have a lot of stuff going to. Yeah, I think you're going to. Where did we go? We got the gigantic plate of mac and cheese. That was also on vlog day. That was like the end. That was Frank. We got Poutine from Barbara. Yeah, we were like six meals in at this point.

We went to Frank, which is just, we just chose a place like. We got hot dogs there, right? We got hot dogs there. We're also going to go for hot dogs in Austin. But we chose that place because it was for the vlog for RTX and it was close to the convention center. And then Barbara just said, we saw a plate of poutine actually by a group of fans who was next to us. And they offered barbed one of them and she took one. She goes, oh, that's so good.

I miss it. I go, I will give you what I say, like 50 bucks. It was like $100. If she would eat an entire order of Poutine after five meals. She did it. She tried and it was say it hurt her. It hurt her real bad. And we had gourdos after that. And then for dessert, we went for dessert.

Where would you go for dessert in Austin? Because we went to Gordos. The donut face right where? Amy's. Amy's. Amy's. Amy's you could call. Sweet ritual.

It's a vegan ice cream place. I know we're talking a lot about vegan vegetarian stuff, but just on ice cream standard, it's delicious. Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, I like like a lot. And weird stuff. Here's your artichoke ice cream. Yeah, here's your bowl of. Here's your olive and I think I would like that. Some of it's good. Yeah, but very different. There's two things I would add to your list. That's right downtown. Gus is fried chicken. It's great call.

That's right by the convention center. And there's a place called Lucky's that's pretty close. And they serve like pizza sandwiches and also like Italian pizzas. Delicious. And if you ever, we used to eat here all the time. If you ever, in the mood for something super fancy, we could eat there during lunch when we were downtown.

So it was a lot cheaper. There's a place called Perry's Steakhouse. They have a pork chop that looks like something out of a Flintstones carton. But the Friday pork chop one. It's gigantic. Yeah. It's like literally three different parts

and they like bring it out and they slam it down. It's huge. And then there's a place right across the street. I don't get invited to that Friday pork shop lunch. We get the vegan pork shop. We'll give you a call. The eggplant shop. But the roaring fork, which is right next to the old office. I love the roaring fork. So that was Monty's favorite place. And Monty, when we were finishing like seasonative red versus blue, he in particular loved these cedar plank salmon. And I would just go over and order those, like two or three to time and just like while he's working, I just give him two.

Those are my favorite, that's my favorite thing there. Is it? Yeah. Can you eat fish? I do eat fish. Oh, okay. Oh, well, that's great. Yeah. For sure great. Wasn't that. Yay! You were catching her in something? No, no, it's great. Yeah. For sure great. Wasn't that actually bad? Yay! You were catching her in something?

No, no, no, I was just surprised. Do you find that people will try to test you? No. We're like, do you fish? No, usually people will say, oh, well, you're vegan. And I'm like, you don't understand what that means then, because I still eat eggs and cheese and all the other things. There was a member of the community

who's been on the podcast before NACT. She was in the Las Vegas vlog as well. He's one of our ambassadors. He's one of our ambassadors this year. That's great. Say what? What's the mention that? So he's one of our ambassadors for RTX this year as well.

Have we announced who all of them are going to be? We have. Okay. We know it's Hannah as well. Is it going to be one of them? That's going to be fantastic. I can't wait. But Nat is hardcore vegan. Like, and I think she'd be okay with me saying this.

I took her to mothers when she was in town one time, and she was leaving for the airport, so we went there for lunch. She has apps where she will look up companies that tell, she's not just like, eat the product, it's got to be vegan, but the company can't be involved with any kind of testing on animals or anything like that. Yeah, so she's like five levels deep at that point. Wow.

Yeah, that's a lot of work. Yeah, mother's fat to test though. My mother's was pure vegan. Probably also one of the few restaurants that has existed in Austin the entire time that I've been here. There's not that many. A lot of them have closed. So it's like I always feel obligated to like bring people

to like really small Austin places and they're all like just running out of money because property taxes are going up and they can't renovate their restaurants. So it looks like you're like walking to a restaurant from 1995, but like Thunder Cloud subs. You ever been to the Thunder Cloud subs? That's like nice.

It feels like I used to work in a hoagie shop over 10 years ago, feels like a hoagie shop from over 10 years ago. Yeah, all hand-lettered signs and everything like that. It's great, but it's awesome. Awesome stuff. So if you're coming into town for our KX, check out that vlog and listen to this advice here.

I would say if you're gonna go for pizza, give three, we have three and three a try, but you gotta try home slice at some point. When you add chewies to the list, if people want super cheesy Mexican food. Oh, you want super text, Max. We and three a try, but you gotta try home slice at some point. Well, you had chouis to the list if people want super cheesy Mexican food. Oh, you want super Tex-Mex, we didn't do Tex-Mex, it's also pretty awesome. Yeah, chouis is pretty good.

I don't get, I don't say I don't get Tex-Mex, but none of it has ever been, it's just like, guys, food, yeah, cool. It's never like us. Well, you grow up with it, right? Where'd you grow up? I grew up in Philly, you're currently. Hence the pizza snobbery over here.

Yeah, and the kid You're up with it, right? Where'd you grow up? I grew up in Philly. You're good. Hence the pizza snobbery over here. Yeah, and a kidding snob pizza snobbery. That is expensive pizza. It is not.

I bought a couple of home sliced pizzas and spent over $50. That's too much money for pizza. V3138 sounds ridiculous. I think it's, I wanna say it's like 25 bucks for an eight slice pizza. That's so expensive. But it's hard to explain what it is.

It's like a loaf of bread with a bunch of pizza. That sounds great. It's incredible. It's so expensive. It's hard to explain what it is. It's like a loaf of bread with some piece. It's pretty incredible. I mean, I don't know how to describe it, but you have to try at some point. Bernie, are you salivating? No, that. I got this fucking pizza here. Christian, I can't stand this anymore. It's killing me.

It's killing me. All right. So Ash, how are you doing? You have a recent development in your life. I do. You want to talk about, she's like a Disney princess. I know what you're going on. I love this. I have babies.

Birds. I have baby birds. They're so cute. There's three of them. They're learning to fly. They... Peter Hayes, by the way, when you were talking, went, whoa! I know.

I think that was going to report the first. Yeah, we had we've had sparrows set up nests near a house before a few months ago. Some sparrows made a nest and they laid some eggs in it and the eggs didn't hatch. And I was just hurt broken. And so I thought they had set up a nest in an umbrella that we've had out in our back patio. It's just been like on its side being stored because we were having some work done and thought, well, this umbrella is not going anywhere anytime soon. Every day, checking the eggs, make sure the eggs are good, all the eggs are good, the eggs hatched, and there were pink ugly little lumps.

Oh my God. Birds are the exception to every baby animal being cute. They are not. Like, there's still got to be an evolution advantage to the babies being cute. That way other stuff won't hurt them. Like you're like, oh, it's so cute. Baby birds are just like, they're just horrible.

They look like, they look like chicken nuggets before they get caught. Just like pink lumps. With like dark black blue eyes that show through your eyelids. They're lumpy, they stick out. Oh man. Well, the picture you showed me. We love them too, but they're. They're lumpy, they used to gow. Oh man. Well, the picture you showed me.

We loved them too, but they were. How old were they then? So, uh, oh. Oh, it's so cute. Oh, I know this is beyond the Earth. This is them yesterday. They're now, we can have maybe two weeks. They have a little moustaches.

They have like, it does have like male pattern baldness. They'll have like fluffy feathers in the back. Like Reynolds hood. Yeah, but it's slowly receding. I'd be like, the straight feathers are kind of taking over. Yeah, so I were panicked yesterday. One of the birds decided that it didn't feel like being in the nest anymore.

And I, I saw it on the ground and I was like chasing it around. Like, oh, no, you poor little baby. I'm gonna get you back in your nest. Getting on gloves on so that I'm not gonna get it. All right. We got a preface to this though too, because Ashley established such a relationship with these things.

She knew when the parent birds were coming. I thought the mail bird just took off, but she knew when they were coming. And because we were having some construction work done, we had to move the umbrella and she's like, you can't, and I was like, hey, we can't tell them. You're not gonna delay him for a week, so let's figure something out here.

So she negotiated with the parent birds to move the nest. She like, move the nest to another location. I was like, there's no way the parents are gonna go to the new location. They absolutely did. Like Ashley let him to the new location and they were there for a couple of days. I was gonna ask you about that,

because you talked about the construction. She's so happy. I'm gonna cry. But they saw them feeding the babies from the new spot. And they found them. It was the best thing except now they've all left the nest. So that was pointless. Oh, they're good though.

They're on there. No, it's good. Well, they're not yet. Their parents seem to be hurting them. Yeah. Their parents don't know like there's one on either side being like, squaw, squaw, squaw, squaw. You can't like do not go here. You were going to get eaten or fall off a thing.

They've already been suicidal. I had to pull them out of a, like, a pit under our stairs. Did they give any trouble from Nutmeg or other? No, Nutmeg is currently in indoor cat. Okay. Yeah. She's indoor only for a little while because I think that, like, baby birds that can't fly quite yet are the only thing she could possibly hunt. Yeah. No, she and also when we had that baby squirrel that was coming around for a while, that baby squirrel is now off living independently. She would sit outside the glass door where right outside of it is where we'd feed the squirrel,

and she would just walk by and see the squirrel, clearly see the squirrel, and just go, I think he'd walk in like, she's not, I don't think she has a hunting instinct in her. Whatever, yeah, whatever that is the most cats have, I think she skipped it. Bethany, you grew up in Texas, but then moved away to these coast, right? And then came back.

Okay, so you've been through the experience, and she's been through the experience, and Adam, you and Ashley, of experiencing a Texas-sized cockroach for the first time as an adult. Oh, yeah, that's disgusting. Yeah, so do you remember, I can't remember the first time she ran into a world lunch, she's like, what is that? Was that recently?

No, no, this is when I moved out. I was not expecting, I know they say everything's bigger in Texas. I didn't know if they meant that. It's pretty horrifying. The first time I saw a black beetle here, it was like four inches long. It's crazy,. The first time I saw a black beetle here, it was like four inches long. It's crazy. The bugs here are huge. Yeah. Also scorpions. I have scorpions. Oh, I saw your thing

from the other. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah. So I have, we've, I've only seen scorpions three times in the house that we're in. One we saw in the garage and Bernie taught me how to squish some to make sure they crunch really good, and said that it's a good thing to do because it sets their reproductive cycle is so long that you make a lot of headway if you just give them a good crunch. That's why when they build a new house,

it's like they stir up the ground and a lot of scorpions will come up, but you can kind of, I was told this, you can get ahead of them, just by literally by stepping on them is that they take a long time to recover. So they have long life cycles. So you actually do make progress versus what? Well, they're hard to kill with insecticide.

You can use like, like that cleaner, the powder cleaner, or borax. Borax. And they have that, what's the stuff they use for bed bugs? It's the some kind of earth. I want to say like diaphoresis earth, but I just completely made up that term. I'll look it up. You keep looking it up. So the second time I saw a scorpion was in our bathtub, went into the bathroom in the

morning, and somehow overnight a scorpion got into the bathtub and couldn't get out. So we just sort of left him there. That stresses me out. For a while to see what would happen. Eventually he did disappear, which is a little concerning. But we found out they can't like it can't climb scorpions, can't climb non-porous surfaces. So they can't climb glass and they can't climb fiberglass.

So I guess one thing that a lot of people do is for like kids' beds and stuff, they'll actually put like glass mason jars. They'll put each leg of the bed in a mason jar because scorpions can't climb it. Interesting. Well, weird. So I don't know where it went.

I down the drain I suppose. Ugh. No, it probably got somewhere else. No, I keep it got him for you. You did? Remember I fished him out. Do you talk about? No, you talk about the latest one.

The latest one. The late one. I mean, no, the one before the latest one. Yeah, why'd you do that? I don't think it's the best of it. And they can't get out. Right. We just left it.

I don't know where it went. Yeah, yeah. Yes, we'll see. But the latest one. Maybe I'm not going to be coming over. I was taking a bath. It was relaxing. It was really nice. I was taking a bath. It was relaxing. It was really nice.

I was playing on my switch. It's like a horror movie. I think you've been. I just felt something drop on my head. It fell from the ceiling. Something fell from the ceiling. It's like, look, I get it. There's bugs right now.

Like, cockroaches will wander in from outside. It happens and it sucks and it's the worst thing ever. So I'm like, and then it fell like on by chest in the tub. And I looked down and was like, that's the scorpion. And had to go ping, get into the water and then just watch it drown. And then go hit Bernie. And then go hit Bernie.

I was thinking, was you flicking it for audio listeners? Yeah, that was, had to ping it. Ping! Into the tub, watch it drown. And then go get Bernie for audio listeners. Yeah, that was, I had to ping it. Ping! Into the tub, watch it drown, and then go get Bernie to verify that it was in fact a baby scorpion. It was like this baby. It's a baby.

Which I understand is a bad thing. Yeah, well then I showed her that scorpions have a lot of babies, so probably a bunch around. They carry them on their back to keep it creepy. Let's know, like a big mama scorpion, a bunch of little babies. Well, baby's a guitar walker now. Have you guys pulled the photo of that?

Warn us in a different way. No, don't do that. That is a horrible thing to do. I kind of got to see it though. It's super, yeah. It's like, you know, you ever see the subreddit nature is metal? Yes. Yes, that one's hardcore.

It's just like, the normal sea is a nature. There's been very few things that make me like cringe on the internet, but a spider molting made me cringe. Yeah, was it like a tarantula? Yeah, that's one more thing. There was a video I saw of a giant spider crab with massively long legs and watching it like we go out of it's gross.

Yeah, molting is gross, dude. That's what the birds are doing, right? They're molting. Yeah, they're losing all their little baby feathers. But they're not crawling out of their own skin. No, the kid is doing that. That would feel good though, wouldn't it? Mm-hmm. Like one day your skin just kind of hardened up and then you kind of like started to wiggle on it You got a good rack and then what's that warning? Oh, no, oh, that's terrifying. Oh god

Thorough right makes you want to throw up. I know what is it? Why have you ever gotten bicks? We're looking at a picture of a scorpion with one, two, three, four, what, 15 babies on the back? And they all have little mini-cails. They're all gonna grow out to be just like their dad or mom. Have you ever been bitten by a scorpion or anything? I have.

I have. Yeah, by the way, scorpion points out. Scorpions in Texas are kind of like, kind of like a bee sting, but you don't, people tend to be not allergic to them, so it's kind of like, ouch. I can't kill you or anything. No, I don't know if anybody... Is it true?

Is it true? It's just about that kind of level of pain. Oh yeah, it's not that bad. It's just, when you see what stung you, you freak out. Yeah, that's horrifying. I'm not sure that I've ever been stung by anything. I don't think I've been stung by a bee one time, but it might've just bit me, because I looked at my iron when it was fine. Do you be? I don't think I like. I thought I think I got stung by B one time, but it might have just bit me

because I looked at my iron, it was fine. Do you beat? I don't know. I don't know. I beat stung by B. No, they bite. They don't bite. I got stung by a wash here

and I got stung by a jellyfish once and I was like, that sucks. Ow. But I remember I was a kid and so I was so, I was too embarrassed to tell adults, which is a weird thing. Like I should be comfortable, but I didn't tell anyone.

And then later it was like, it was all in my inner thigh. What was that jellyfish? Yeah. And so you didn't tell anybody, wow. Did you know like a while? I had a feeling that it had a pee on you. I don't remember if I knew that at the time that like that was an option.

Right. My not a made it the way it was. I mean, my friends was totally what I've, although it was on my thought, I could have just peed on myself. Solid point. Could have. Just let it all go.

I haven't used to do it, why not? Right. I have before. So the thing I was talking about earlier, I'm not going to be able to pronounce this correctly. It's Daya Tomatius Earth. It's some kind of like powderized fossil stone. And it's basically just sand that you spread out

and you form a barrier with it. And when bugs hit it, it's like, it's just basically like walking on a glass to them. Like it tears them up and then they can't, they end up dying or they can't travel through it, period. All bugs are just like specific. I think they specifically use it for bed bugs. Interesting.

My friend got bed bugs one time and I felt really bad for him. I recently did a thing where they gave me a code. For a thing I had a code, has nothing to do with the groceries whatsoever. They gave me a code. It's like a secure thing and they get a code and I punch in the code and unlocks the thing. The code is my, it's forger to code, it's my birthday.

And that's the thing. I said, well, can I change it to, there's another forger to code I like to use for stuff. And they said, no, it's just we just do birthdays. And then I left and I was thinking, I, it's super easy to guess. I mean, it's like how many months would you have to go before you get somebody's birthday? That has the code at this thing. So yeah, it's like, that's not a good system. Not a good system.

Or wouldn't there be a bunch of people with the same code? Yeah. Right. And then has it identified who to. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I guess it's just whether or not you get in. Wasn't a very like, like, high security facility. You could fill.

I can't help but like pick apart when I hear something. It's just like a bad algorithm, essentially. Well, plus. Plus your mad, because you got the one that you want to use. What's that? Plus you can be upset with it. You got the code that you want to use. And there'd be way more options if you could just pick your own code. Oh, I know, right?

Yeah. I guess if it's a 4,000, you can type in a thousand. Okay. Probably, right? But it's like imagine you have 9,999 entries you'd have to go through to break a 4,000, but it's based on birthdays. You don't have to go up to 1200 and you only go to 30 out of every 100, basically. I'm just going to trust that math. There you go. Bethany, it's right. Trust me.

It's February. You only have to eat 28. So you're good. You're totally good. So you're happy about the birds? Birds are good. I'm pretty happy about the birds. I'm happy that they, I had to go online and read, read

up when they left the nest to figure out that that's actually normal, that they will normally leave the nest and they'll be on the ground for a day or two. Seems like a stupid evolutionary thing to me, because they're still snacks at that point. They can't, they still can't get off the ground. And now they can get back into their nest. It's a test. What kind of test? If you can survive in the ground for three days, you can make it. You're good. But I'm happy that the birds are going to grow up. And there'll be three new adults.

Sparrows and they're going to call me mom. It's cute. They're people. She was learning a lot about birds. She was telling me when they were walking around in the backyard, I was like, well, this is terrible. She goes, no, this is what they do. They do this for like four or five days. And I was thinking, you're gonna die.

Some just, anything can eat them, you know? Like a nutmeg. Everything eats birds. Every single thing eats birds. If they can. Birds eat birds. Birds eat birds. Birds eat everything.

It's just crazy. It's like do some animals, like do some animals, are they vegetarian? Cause they just can't catch anything. Like I've seen videos where a cow will eat like a chicken walking around. Oh, that's so,

the cow just decides. I don't like that. I've not seen that at all. Yeah, the cow just decides. I'm eating this one, where a pelican eating a pigeon. I've seen that. Yeah.

It's just crazy. It seems like a powder move. I saw a thing where a hawk was in a pigeon, I've seen that. Yeah. This is crazy. It seems like a power move. I saw a thing where a hawk was in a cage and it was like one of those, I don't know, like one of those cranes. Is this horrible? It was like, it had a piece of meat and it was like, tempting the bird outside the cage.

And the bird ended up getting a white spoiler. But like eventually, the enough of this back and forth, then the long neck bird got too close and the raptor bird, the predatory bird, got it. Like I don't say, oh, that bird's dead. I thought it was gonna get pulled through the fence, but now it got away, it was okay. I feel bad, like growing up, I loved planet Earth,

but when planet Earth 2 came out, watching nature do a thing and like watch animals eat other animals, I got too sad, and I can't watch planet Earth because of it. I wanna watch an edited version where there like watch animals eat other animals. I got too sad and I can't watch planet earth because of it I want to watch an edited version where there's no animals eating other animals although some of the other things they have are Amazing was it was a planet earth to or blue planet or something there was a clip that went around a While I go up just watch this the lizard escaping all the snakes That's I watched that

That was the reason I was with early episodes. But that was still like seeing the lizards get like caught. I was like a sigh. Yeah. The worst some of the lizards early on they got caught. They had to establish the danger though. Yeah, but it really I don't know man. There's I shouldn't it shouldn't bother me so much, but it does. I was just on the edge of my seat just hoping for that lizard to get away and And it was so close so many times. And you have to, it's leaping across this big gap and I snake a snap in at him as he goes. It's really dramatic.

It was really cool. It's more dramatic than like any action movie sequence in any movie. It's incredible the footage they got. They must have cut together like two or three lizards doing it and I'm totally fine with that. But just watching that lizard with the feed going like that. Oh, here we go. So they're born and they have to run to the ocean. I think or run to the forest. And he's just hauling it and then all these snakes wait for these new baby lizards to come running because they're easy pickings.

And they come and they come out of everything. Oh, oh, no, sorry about that. Stop there. Oh, the guy got it. Oh, no. Sorry about that. Stop there. Oh, God. Don't shit the one that escaped with us. Well, honestly, the most things, like 95%, 99% of things that have ever lived,

they end up dying because something else ate them. Like that's what happens. Humans, we get to die of old age. You know, but old age in nature just means you slow down enough to work something each you probably. What do you think, like, the number, is you think old age is the number one cause of death? You think it's like for people?

Yeah. I think it's probably like heart disease or cancer or something like that. Yeah, but you get those when you're older, right? I mean, not like diabetes, but yeah, heart disease and cancer. Yeah, I think that I think natural, like I would like to think that natural causes. I don't think they classify old age though, is it? Is it thing? Right, because eventually wouldn't it be

just some type of natural cause? That makes sense. But you have a heart attack and- And that's true. Yeah, you're old versus you had a heart attack because you had a heart disease? I guess, I got, yeah. Or a stroke or an aneurysm or whatever it is,

is like something probably happens. What is death by natural causes? What is that? What do you think that is? Someone didn't murder you. Death by natural causes. Death by natural causes as recorded by corners and on death certificates and associated documents

is the end result of an illness or an internal malfunction of the body not directly caused by external forces. So cancer would be natural causes. And we read that last part. And not directly caused by external forces. So okay, not an accident. Okay.

Okay. Well, I said, that means some test cancer. You're trying to make it to the beach in this night, grab your. You would sometimes type to cancer be classified as natural causes because they're like, oh, you smoked a lot in the illness. It's an illness. Is the end result of an illness or an internal malfunction? sometimes types of cancer be classified as natural causes because they're like, oh, you smoked a lot. And you don't answer. Is the end result of an illness or an internal malfunction? So natural cause is kind of like a misnomer a little bit.

Yeah. You just kind of like this like normal death that you just like reach an expiration point. You're just like, I'm done. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. But you still have to die of something. You always have like the HIV doesn't kill anybody. Most people die because of pneumonia. That's the cause of death

Right, you just that's then your your body's ability to fight me thing Right exactly and that leads you getting something that eventually Yeah, that makes sense, but like and likewise, it's you know natural causes are old age You don't actually die of a you hit a certain time You know that's it my watch is going off. I gotta die now. You know, you'll die from something like heart failure or you're more susceptible to cancer. I don't know.

This has been a really sad podcast actually. So wait, let's talk about the best hospitals and funeral homes in America. Where should you go? Well, you know what just wrapped up was sending you a Comic Con. There was fun stuff happening there. There was.

It was really superheroes and I don't like. Like, like, and she's saying, Comic Con, I get 10 years of Comic Con. And I feel like that was my time. And I did it. And I went every year for 10 years. And I was done. And I never look back and I never wanted to go back to Comic Con.

That being said, this was the first time when I was reading about like people with social media being at Comic Con and what they were doing, it seemed like a lot of fun. You were missing out. I think my brain was tricking me though. Uh, why would you have a baby? Baby keeps you up all night. But then like two years later, you're like,

have a baby, wasn't so bad. So you have another baby. And then it's like, oh yeah, this is awful. This is. So what was, what year was the last year? Oh, like 2011. Oh, 11. That's been a while, then.

Yeah, we were there this year, which we hadn't been in a couple of years. Rooster teeth. We'd been we had our booth back. We had bendy and ink machine. But how do we get a boot? Because we were stating Comic Con is so tough. We've always had it. We've never

just gotten rid of it. You're everything. Yeah, I know what you mean. Okay. Didn't make a 64. Yeah, we gave it to our pals at mega 64. Really? Another great reason not to go to Comic Con. Eric actually came to us from mega 64.

It's true. It turns out he was payment for the Comic Con. He would. It was a trade. It was one booth and an employee to be named later. But he used to bug the shit out of me. I think he's told me that before. named later, but he used to bug the shit out of me. I think he's told me that before.

He would just, he was really, because Comic Con, it's, it's, it's like a weekend con, it's not. It starts on fucking Wednesday. There's like a preview night, and if you're exhibiting, you have to be there for a preview night. And then we were always right next to Mega 64, and it's like, this is like this little pole with that shitty little paper thin curtain on it,

you know, but like at waist level, and Eric was always just right on the other side of it. It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a fucking five day straight. I was like, if that guy's working, and I do not want to be the Boots, it's because I can't take it, I can't take it. It'd be come around on Eric.

Yeah. Oh my God, so much, so much. It's crazy. It's like actually when I start to work with him It's like breath of fresh air, you know, it's like I feel like a win-win like double win because now I realize he's not Entirely annoying and he's entirely fearless and he's not entirely annoying not entirely He got to go to LA, but watching. Yeah, he's in LA right now He got to take the trip all of us don't get the free brunch.

And the brunch. And I'm the brunch queen. You are too. Why don't we hold our own brunch? So much work to you. You can go to brunch anyway. You're just mad. I know.

I can't do it. I'm going to do, I'm going to go with my son tomorrow. Which one? JD, because he's the one who's interested in doing this, it hasn't no interest whatsoever. Probably not a good idea to take him either, because we're going to take sailing lessons. I've always wanted to know how to sail,

and JD's very interested in it, and Teddy would probably get us killed. You know, he'd probably run us to ground or something like that. So. I filled my dad growing up, it's like the best father, son bombing thing ever. Oh, really? Yeah, we're so much fun. So I filled my dad growing up. It's like the best father, son bombing thing ever. Oh, really?

Yeah, we're so much fun. We're so looking forward to it. And then after, you know, we take the lessons, I'll say, Teddy out and then we'll do some stuff, probably a much smaller craft. We're doing like, we never done like, I've done like little like catfish, you know, or sunfish, excuse me, like that kind of thing.

But I've never done like a big sailboat. We got to do one last year with my buddy Drew, you know, Drew from Two Filters, the Streamy's guy. And I just like, I've always wanted to go back since then. So. Sounds nice. So I don't know all the beautiful knowledge. Good Lord.

I'm glad you asked that. It's so it's 108 today. Yeah. And on the lake tomorrow, it's going to drop. Cold front must be coming in. It's going to be 100. So. Bonus.

Yeah, I got to pack a jacket because it's going to going to be, but like Barbara was wearing a sweater in LA. She always does that though. She's crazy. Yeah. It's hot. Yeah. It's gonna be cool. Plus weekend. It was like 100 plus. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 100 is too hot, right? Oh, this is insane.

Especially when you get in your car and it reads 115. Oh, yeah. I didn't even think about that today. It's been hard. But at least the, at least you'll be on a lake and you can dunk yourself in the water if you get too hot. The first ever Comic Con that we went to as exhibitors was 2003, maybe 2004, went with Jason Seldonia who plays Tucker.

And we drove my pickup and attached our merch in a trailer and drove it out to San Diego, which meant we had to drive to West Texas in the middle of July. And there's a point like about you go west of Austin. If you start from the east side of Texas, you get Houston, you get Dallas, then you get Austin and San Antonio, which is right in the middle of the state, then nothing like for six hours until you get to El Paso. Which has been then you're basically in New Mexico at that point.

And did they have the thing back then? You know, with all the billboards to stop and see the thing. Yeah, it's been around forever, man. But it was, I remember one time on the dial, it said it was 116 degrees outside. There were literally signs saying there's not a gas station for 140 miles and we're home's big trailer in the heat in a pickup truck in F-150. I was watching the fuel gauge physically move. Like I could watch it slowly dropping and it was freaking me out.

I thought we're just going to run a gas and we're going to die of something, you know, exposure out here. Did you? No, we were good. We made it all the way to San Diego. He's alive. I took a trip earlier this year where we drove from Colorado up into Nebraska.

And we had that point where like, oh, we don't need to go to a gas station right now. We'll hit one soon. And then there wasn't one. There was kept not being one. We were in an SUV and it was like really cold. Not that it would have mattered that much. But we get got down to like nine miles remaining

on the gas gauge, like holy crap, we found the found one. That is such an intense horrifying experience, but I shouldn't be. Yeah. Stopping a gas, but you never really think about it until you're on the middle of nowhere. I just can't road trip. I think we were talking about this the other day. I think my limits four hours, which I know is not very far, but I just don't think I'm I should be in a car very long.

I love our trips. So come. It's hot in Texas right now. Interior. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. How much do those little things you put in your windshield actually help that reflect the sun?

Oh, I just put one up. Do they help? Literally, this is my first day using it, and I'll let you know. Yes. So my dad did about a billion different jobs. First, he was a priest. He was a priest. It was like 45. Then when he left the priesthood, he was a carpenter. That led to him being... It's appropriate.

He worked in insulation up north because there was like a government program where none of those homes in Rochester, New York, they were all so old and they had been built with modern insulation. So he would do this.. It's cellulose insulation, not the pink stuff, but he could blow it into the crevices of buildings and help with energy. So he got involved with energy. When he came down to Texas, he was involved with that. That led to him working on the particle collider in Dallas and then he was a physics professor at that same time. But it's funny because that sticks with me, all these little things I pick up from my dad, and that silver, that radiant barrier,

it reflects radiant energy. So just having a shade is one thing, but having an actual reflective one does a lot more. So that's why I'm using this bright silver thing in my windshield today. And I don't know, I'll see, I can check my thing right now to see how hot it is out there.

So I have never used one, but I've had a car here for about like five years almost. And I have like the dashboard is sort of like soft like that software every material, but because it's been so hot in Texas, it's all the moisture has gone out of that and my dashboard is literally disintegrating. Yeah. So like I'm just thinking ahead of like when I got a new car, I'm gonna get one of those and like Tim, I went this, this is this sucks dude like a feeling you need the undercoat

Yeah, and in Texas you need the top coat. You need something to protect you from the top. Yeah, so when I was a teenager I had a Toyota Camry and my dad got me a dash cover It was it was molded to that model of Camry, but it was basically carpet But it it there was an adhesive on the back and it basically like taped down onto my dashboard. I wonder if it was some theoretically some sort of protective thing like that, except I just like an idiot or the carpet and dash. Awesome.

Yeah. Well, the, the car that you had growing up, your first car, everyone had a pretty shitty car, right? Your first car? Chevy, 996 Chevy Cavalier. Mine was a Dotson before they changed their name to Nissan. But I mean, they changed their name by the time I was driving. It just says it was a super old car.

It was a Dotson 200 SX. It talked. That was weird. It was like a 1980 Dotson. Weird. Yeah, you don't open the door if leaves lights and goes, lights are on. That's not true. But then they stopped doing that.

Like Dotson. No cars talk today. Right. Is your Tesla not talk to you? goes, lights are on. That's not true. But then they stopped doing that. Like, Dotsen. No cars talk today. Right. Is your Tesla not talk to you? Oh, no. No. I should have. It's a robot car.

It should talk. I feel like it should. It drives itself. Man, what a piece of junk here. I'm going to talk. I know. What the two are. By the way, for reference, it's 180 degrees outside

according to the weather app. And my car is a 180 degree. I can't. So it's down twelve degrees from Jack's car. From Jack's car? So I mean that's helpful in a way. Can I make a confession? Yes. When I moved here I moved to my Chevy Cavalier. About a year into working at Ruchis-Cythe, I finally got a new car and for about eight months I had air conditioning and then it broke. And up until six months ago I did not fix it. It might be not even six months. I haven't had air conditioning for like three years in my car.

And I was, how do you get through to Texas somewhere with air conditioning? I get it. I don't know. I think the first car I ever had the air conditioning, it was that blue truck that's still out in the parking lot. And that was 2003. So that was the first time I ever had air conditioning car. So I was 29 at that point in time.

Yeah. Basically, I just have not had air conditioning and I had it for a few months. It was great, but then it broke. And it was such an expensive fix that I was just kind of like, I've lived without it before. I can live without it again. Yeah, I don't know how you survived Texas without. Yeah, you're driving home now, tonight, and this.

I mean, no, I have air conditioning now. I went and fixed it and it will be a staple in my car from moving forward. But I don't know, it's just like it didn't bother me, but man, it like looking back, it was real stupid. Yeah. What was your first car, Bethany? Ooh, it was a Nissan 240 SX. It was like a little red convertible. Oh, yeah.

It was the same basic one. Yeah, it was that one was convertible. Well, it was a red 200 S. Oh, yeah, mine was a red. It was like convertible black top. It was cool. Sounds cool. I was happy to have it in high school,

but it was totaled like four months later or something. I had a gold 1982 Dodge 400, Valour Bench seats, one of the ones with a nice faux leather on the top, like nice K-car. It was a repo, we got it for $250. Not at least $100, yeah. And it ended up selling it when the blinker went out because it would have cost more to fix that. They would have had to remodeled to you and call them or something.

And so I we just sold the car instead of fixing the blinker. Yeah. It cost more than the car at that point. You just have to. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I sold my cavalier because getting it up to date for inspection would have been like. Yeah.

It was like a thousand dollar car. Yeah. I wasn't going to spend a thousand to fix it. Yeah. I had a two dollar card sold for $250, like eight years later. I have such good memories of like a shitty car though. Like having like a boom box, because there was like, it was an 8-track or something

that made whatever options were there were not working. And so I just had a boom box sit next to me in the thing and would play it as I was driving over the mountain. So what's your clouds in your headliner? Tee-la-go's a faux-sale. No, I wanted to. My dad, the headliner was all like sliced up. And so my dad replaced all of it himself,

and I begged him to put clouds in so I could call it a convertible. And he wouldn't, he didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did. So no clouds. Thanks. All my friends that any of them who are lucky enough to have cars, it was either the air conditioning broke,

or the ceiling started to fall down like that through the car. Yeah, a little bit. Like disconnect and go like, so you'd be in your friends car. Like, it was a certain era of cars where that happened. Like your late 70s, early 80s cars, which then kids in the early 90s, those are the cars that you were in to get in, you know, or could afford

or getting hand down to you. If you were lucky. I'm so grateful I had a shitty car though. I've appreciated every improvement to every car I've ever had. I think you have to start out that way. If you don't start off with a shitty car, you're gonna destroy your car. Like, everyone who has had a shitty car

doesn't take care of it well or like, you learn on a hoopty, on something like a beater. On a beater, yep. To me though, it's like the worst tab is when people left their car just fill with trash. Oh yeah, I've never done that though. You didn't have like a bad car. So I have a thing that I do where I floss in the car.

I've got no floss in my car. You have to do the actual, I have a little, I have the little pick. But where I floss in the car. I've done all floss in my car. You have to do the actual. I have a little, I have the little pics. But it's while you're driving. But it's like a combination of the two. It's like a pick that's got a little piece. That's how this, yeah. And you go, yeah.

But you do that while you're driving. Stop lights and stuff. Which I gotta stop doing because my car is recognizable. So I do have people who look to me right now. And then they're like, I saw your car and hey, what's going on? I'm like, I'm like, hey, what's up? It's not like, why is it bad as picking your nose, but I feel like it's pretty close.

Okay, so here's a question. What do you do with the pick when you're done? See, that's just it. So I, I couldn't, a very trash person. I couldn't imagine leaving one of those. No, you can't. No, because it's like, if I like use general lock in my car.

So what do you do? What do you do? What do you do? When you're picking out your teeth what happens? No, I just got just kid I just kidding. I don't mess with Texas. I wanted to see a reaction though to that because Littering was when I was a kid was a thing this is normally like when I refer to Patrick back me up or Mike But they're both not here

Littering was a thing and then they went through this whole campaign in the late 70s, early 80s, when I was just like five years old, they were hardcore, you can't litter. And litter became like, it's one of the few social shaming things we have left. It's like, if you hear somebody's litter, you're like, you shouldn't do that.

Even more so than like hearing somebody robbed something or like took money. You know, but if you're here to be littered, you're like, oh, bad. Well, you found money on the street. They'll go, did you keep it? And you go, well, yeah, it was 20 bucks. I just kept it.

I know who's it was. Like, oh, you're awful. You should have taken the, nobody says that. But if like you throw something on the ground. It's bad. Yeah. So fun fact, if you want to learn a fun fact about me, I was on the don't mess with Texas billboard campaign

I was on billboards around Texas. It's like as someone who's not from Texas when I came to Texas and I saw that I didn't know it was about littering. I thought it was just like, oh, we're tough. Don't mess with us Yeah, everybody thinks outside of Texas. Yeah, but it's a litter. It's a litter slogan Yeah, it was really fun. It was like this. It was like if your best friend was Texas Would you still litter so they do like put trash in my hair? Really I think I'm very glamorous. I remember that billboard. It's very glamorous. Get pictures of it. Somewhere, yeah, but it was shot, you know, in in Buda, so oh my gosh. Yeah

That's really cool. And now I'm here. Get to be on a billboard. Yeah, that's so cool That's a cool thing when you're a kid can I billboard? Yeah Yeah, Brady didn't do the research. He's have a problem with the don't mess with Texas. Oh It's the only video I think we've ever had taken down This is like a lot of vectors coming in to one story So the state of Texas they introduced license plates that could have affinity logos on them for businesses. And they started off, the first one was with Mighty Fine. There's a Texas Mighty Fine license plate.

I think we could probably look up a picture of it. And I'm pretty sure that Mighty Fine is probably the only company that got approved for it, because we immediately jumped on that. We thought, oh, how crazy would it be to have a Rooster Teeth license plate, official Texas license plate? Rooster's on it. And we were like chugging along. We were moving through the process

and everything was great. And then right in the middle of that, we got a letter from the state of Texas, different department that sent us a cease and desist to take down a video we had about getting a license plate of the DMV and Matt keeps getting all these really offensive license plates, but randomly. He could do it down.

Oh, yeah, we had to pull it because it was a DMV, or we call it DPS in Texas, Department of Public Safety, we put the don't mess with Texas logo up on a poster, a fake poster that we made, and that's a trademark logo. And we couldn't use the trademark logo, don't mess with Texas. And so that was the whole video was about, the whole letter was about that. And we were not gonna mess with the state of Texas. There's a lot of people I would fight on the state of Texas. The state of Texas, when we exist as a company

in the state of Texas, we were not about to fight that. I was like, that video's gone, take it down. So it's one of the only videos we've removed. Yeah, there's the mighty fine license plate. So imagine that, but it's like the rooster teeth on the left side and then the license plate number and, but it's like, the rooster teeth on the left side and then the lycid plate number and then at the bottom with this said rooster teeth.

You just talked about doing that on a podcast, I think, because I remember like listening to you guys talking about it on the junk tanks and my friend was like, we're gonna move to Texas and get those cool lycid plates. What's that be cool? I think we announced it.

Yeah, I think so. Cause we were like, it's on the way. I think we might have done it at a Pax. I think, yeah. That's what it would be. Cause the first time I met you was a Pax Boston, right? Paxies 2010. Yeah, that was when we introduced Monty for the first time, right? Yeah, he was sitting right next to me

Oh, you're right. That's right. That's right. Yeah, that's crazy I just saw videos of that from a just kid putting some of that stuff up. It's a it's crazy and then you did the hot sauce Which yeah, right? Yeah, it was wild. Yeah, that's so crazy. So crazy So what about a Bethany how you hold up with RTX coming? which yeah, right? Those, wow. Yeah, that's so crazy. So crazy. So what about Bethany, how you holding up with RTX coming? I'm tired a lot. I bet. You know, it's a lot of really long hours whether it's in the office or at home, I'll get home

and like my boyfriend's been so sweet, he'll like cook dinner and I will barely pick at it and I'm still just like working. He'll just come check on me like you really need to eat, babe, and I'm like, I know I'll eat another bite since you're standing here watching me. I can't imagine I'm still just like working. He'll just come check on me, like you really need to eat, babe. And I'm like, I know I'll eat another bite since you're standing here watching me. I can't imagine I'm cooking. How tall is your boyfriend?

He's six six six six six six. How tall are you Adam? I'm six three. Okay, because you guys were like, oh wait, he's so not six three. You are not six three. You're six three. You've got a whole other.

I'm really imposing because I'm wide. I'm fat. It's the problem. Well, because we had you guys next to each other at the New York City Day, New Year party. Remember? And I remember just y'all meeting and I thought you were taller than 6-3 as well. Yeah.

He was a big boy. Yeah. He's a big guy. I was just imagining cooking it like a normal-sized stove. And if I was working on like a kid's play, how's it going back? I'm picturing like Mr. Incredible. I have an hunter-leather with everything. He's taking care of you, he knows.

He's been so supportive, you know, like it's hard to explain what we do sometimes and this is the first RTX as we've been together for almost a year. So he hasn't seen RTX. He hasn't seen me in crazy RTX, like crazier headspace that I've ever been in. But yeah, just like real supportive, because you know, my team's been like killing it

and we're kind of all in it together. Like no one really leaves unless we're all like are we all going or we all gonna stay till 10 o'clock so we all really like pitch in. You got that countdown timer on your wall. I know it's it's pretty bad today's what 10 days. I can tell you 10 days because I was in your office today and I was looking at the 10 days. That's right you were in this morning. You're never there you never visit anymore. I always find on your office not to't worry. There is that kind of bitchy sign on the door. The outside. Don't come over. I can't stay out. I don't like I don't bring people through.

Well, it's fun because the added people, we started with one sign that was a little bit nicer. It says something to the effective. We're an RTX crunch time. Please don't bother us. But then we had to add one that says, even if this has to do with RTX, please send us a message first because people were starting to come in saying,

oh, why is something to talk to you about RTX about? And we're like first because people were starting to come in saying, oh, why is something to talk to you about RTX about? And we're like, but still, you can't just interrupt our day. So. Some of them I mentioned. So one of the meetings we had today, we were talking about security measures. Last year was the first year that we had to have metal detectors. And we had to, we put as many metal detectors as we could in on the first day, it was enough, so that we had to go get metal detectors from everywhere else. Everywhere. I was in a town. Yeah.

Is there just like a metal detector store? How does that work? That's where I still don't understand it because we were told that they only had X amount last year. And then that second day, they had to pull overnight from various places around town that have them. I still don't understand it. I think it.

I mean, I would know what kind of company, but like a logistics company or an events company that's partnered with the convention center probably has that kind of thing. That's so weird to think about that. Like there is someone in Austin who's specialty is the organization, logistics and transportation of metal detectors.

Our first year at the convention center, you know what the big deal was? Stanchions, which I remember. You remember the metal poles that you have the ribbons that run to like guy people. Yeah, I was. I was. I was. I had to pull from all over the state of Texas and everywhere to get them. I was head of security at that RTX and I remember the stage of the buckle. Yeah, I was head of guardian security. And nobody remembers that kind of thing that's happening. But this year, a lot more, metal detectors. We've put out a couple of emails,

so hopefully you've had a chance to look through them. We got a lot of questions last week when we put out that information. Hopefully we've answered all of the questions I think we have, but we're gonna send that out a couple more times. So make sure that you and your friends read all of the information, go to the correct place. It's really important.

Yeah, and we mailed badges this year to a lot of people. We mailed badges, so I would estimate about 85% of the folks have already been given their badge, which is great. So registration lines should, registration lines should be down this year. The only people that would need to pick up on-site are if your international Canada is not part of that.

Canada, if you had picked up your badge before July 6, you would have already gotten it. And anyone that purchased after July 6, whether domestic or international, will have to pick it up, but it's going to be so much easier this year. Just not being clear, because people are traveling here. You said picked it up before July 6. You mean bought it before July 6, right? Purchased it before July 6. So anyone that was Canada or the US that bought a badge before July 6 should have had it shipped, if not, you need to reach out to Frontgate as soon as you can. If you purchase a badge after July 6 or live in an international place other than Canada, then you will have to pick it up on site.

I'm glad you said that Frontgate thing because I'm sure there were people listening to this who were like, what? I was supposed to have my badge already. That are probably tweeting me right now. Right, probably. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot of people. It's a's a lot. It's one of the things, man, there's been such an interesting year to watch events. Watching like even something like VidCon, which is well long, it was acquired by Viacom, the show was, I think it was Viacom. And this was the first year where it was under that and there's like a big shift.

And then they had that whole tanacon thing that was going on at the same time, where that influencer, YouTuber, she tried to have her own convention. With zero experience. No, she did. No time to do that. 60 days, like 45 days to plan it.

She did well. Bethany, did you like watch her vlogs or anything about that? Just as an events person, I can imagine how traumatic listening to those vlogs must be for you. Just one point, like a week before, a couple of weeks before, didn't she go on a vacation to Hawaii and then get back and be like, no, I'm not going to fly out.

You should watch the same thing. A lot of other people told her this, a lot of people told her that. She watched the same Dawson documentary on that. It's a disaster. It's three-parter. I will say this, like, I don't ever wish anyone failure ever. I wish it would have worked, especially for all of the attendees and the fans in the

community that they have that were disappointed at the end of the day. That's not fun for anyone. And I know people that need it, Sasha and Sonburn, I would never wish that anyone. But there is that level of like, when someone just thinks they can pull it off without any experience and without a team and without expertise and well, yeah, and her two hers was coming from a negative place. Like she was mad at Vitton. She was mad at VidCon and wanted to fuck them over.

Right. But yeah, I mean, yeah, we'll definitely take their, you know, stick it to them, take their, you know, take some of their ticket sales away or whatever. Right. It's like that was one of the things that was said later was, oh, we didn't have enough time to plan this. Like, well, you chose the date. You chose the date. You wanted to make sure it was on the same weekend as VidCon.

That was your choice. Do that. And I think anytime you start from a negative place, boy, if you go back and watch the vlogs where she's mad at VidCon, it is those don't hold up well. They did not age at all. And she's mad about like they wouldn't let her in. And it's like, they said it was causing a security issue and they move me. And I got really mad at that.

And so then I was just standing there and I went out to the crowd to say hello to everybody. Then there was a mob and they said, you can't do this. And it's like basically what it ends up being after the end result with Tana Khan is this story about this woman who can't learn a lesson. Like she's like, people, professional people who do this for years are telling you, this is a problem.

Putting this many people in one place is a problem. And here we need to work out a solution for this and sorry you weren't a featured guest, but you can't do this. And then she's like, no, fuck this. I can do it. And then she tries to do it on her own after three attempts with VidCon that all went badly. She then does it on her own. And then it was 10 times worse, 1000 times worse. Oh, no fire festival.

Yeah. Well, with fire, with fire festival, like people went to jail for that. Do you think that? Yeah, I'm gonna be a percussionist for her or the Michael guy? I don't know, I haven't heard anything so whole, like, she hasn't been making videos. I haven't been talking. I've heard that she was going to be if the event itself

wouldn't refund, she would be personally reaching out. So I don't, I think. But do you think that's enough though? Because if you look at the, if you watch the documentary, you kind of get the The impression that there's like there's a good case against her for like fraud What where where she knew the amount of attendees the capacity? I have a cold and

willingly went ahead and invited like 5,000 guests. Yeah, I only hold a thousand. Yeah, and like that's not good Mm-hmm also also want to be clear, events are hard. And and we're sitting here talking about this today, there is going to be something and we don't know what is there will be something at RTX next week that happens and we'll have to adjust to it. Yeah. 10 days. Hopefully it's next week. Hopefully it's next week. I'm coming for us. Yeah. Moving in. But I will say, I mean, there's always something. There's always something. And I think what rooster teeth and what the

Events team do really well that other conventions don't as we really care and listen to the computer community throughout the process So even sending out our official plan last week We listen to people and we've made adjustments from that, you know We don't just wait till people show up and then ARP set so We're trying yeah, I'm excited though. RTX is so much fun every year. It's like for us. It's so much fun.

Is this your hardest one of all the RTX's? This one's here. This is the one that like, and I know that some people in the company might hate when we say it, because you know, RTX London is also a focus. It's only six weeks later. But for us, we're like, don't talk to us about RTX London. That's a breeze, you know, for what we have to do for Austin.

Yeah. I mean, it's always like, you know, for what we have to do for Austin. Yeah. I mean, to tell you it's like, you get a lot of people in one place. There's always gonna be some kind of problems. Oh, yes. And the big thing is that doesn't matter, there's always gonna be lines. Always, doesn't matter what is.

You get a bunch of people in one place, there's gonna be lines like a like hall H for Comic Con. They start letting up 48 hours and they're this insane. I'm glad we don't do that. Hall H is crazy because isn't that one of the ones they don't clear? Yeah, you can just sit there. Yeah. Oh wow. The whole time. Unless you're Star Wars, you're here, here with they did. Oh, that was brutal. They have the Stormtroopers come in. They march everybody out to a special

John Williams orchestral performance of the Star Wars soundtrack. Then Kevin Smith came in after them was like the entire hall had cleared out. And I think he started off his hour with 10% of hall H filled. And to his credit over the course of his speech, people find out you could get into hall H and hear Kevin Smith talking. And if you filled it back up, you know, he filled it back up like 30, 50%. So that's a big haul too. That's 7,000 people. Is that 7,000? Yeah, yeah.

It's one of the biggest ones there is. But yeah, but there's gonna be lines. You know, when you go to a stadium, there's lines. It's like that people show up every single week. They know how many people come to these stadiums. Yeah. Yeah, there's still lines. People make lines.

And it's one of those things we work constantly trying to figure out how to make the lines better, but it is definitely part of any kind of mass population event for sure. So so there'll be something. I don't know what it is. So knock on wood. Nothing serious. Everybody's fine. A lot of people in one place. We'll see what happens. We also have our amazing guardians. So they make everything better. They do. Can you say how many guardians we have this year? We have about 600. It's a lot. What color shirts will they be wearing? They will be wearing bright red.

Bright red. So that's like back to 2010 or 2011. That was before life had meaning. How many years were you a Guardian before you joined the SPAT? It was like the first year was like one of the least security Guardians and then after that, I had the same thing with a friend and then after that, like a month after that. I got hired August 5th, five years ago.

Oh my gosh, yeah, RTX will be your fifth anniversary. That's cool. It's exciting. So, we still work hard. Trying to make it work every year, try to find new things to do. Always try to find ways to make it better. It's a good segue to this.

No, it doesn't do that. Excuse me, I'm reading an ad, I'm not. Amazon, they've gotten so lazy, every straight man, a guy who, they put an Amazon package on his roof. And right after I read that story, Ash and I left to go somewhere, Amazon had showed up,

they literally put our package at the curb. Like, it was just sitting on the curb at the street of my house. Like, not at the mailbox. Just what was just propped up on the her way? What do you mean the roof? I didn't hear that. Oh, some guy online was talking with storybugs.

Like, they threw his Amazon package on the roof. Oh my God. And that was just up there. Is Amazon using their own, like, they're using their own carrier now? They use a mix. So they're like, I think they, like, we get some, like, we've in the past got some things via like other carriers,

but at least here in Austin, they do have their own Amazon fulfillment. They go around there in Amazon trucks and they're doing deliveries in the fulfillment. And sometimes they're okay, but I've had some, I've had terrible experiences trying to do same day or next day shipping, because it means that,

I think typically means that it's coming from an Austin warehouse and they're using the local company, whatever, but I've had same day deliveries take like a week to get to me. That's what happened to me too. I'm still waiting on a pair of shoes that I bought before my birthday, which is July 1st. Still.

How? I don't know. Like if it's being, I honestly forgot about it. If they're the ones fulfilling it, it's in their warehouse with their drivers. How does it take a week to get to the same day address? I don't know. Don't, don't, don't tell me that you can deliver it same day if you fucking can't.

Oh, wow, look at you. I'm pretty, y'all have said. I'm mad about it. They delayed some chain mail supplies. I desperately needed. How's your chain mail going? Slow. You say, it's so, so slow process.

It is so slow. I will go through seasons of TV shows to keep me company while I make a tiny patch. There was a great red thread today that I read, which was going back in time. Like, everyone thinks they'd go back in time and they would be a genius because they'd know so much. Where's the reality?

It's like, they would just think you're an idiot because you don't know how to farm. And you don't speak Latin. So you would never be able to like convey any of your information to anybody. Also, you'd probably get burned pretty quick. Yeah, well, there was a whole, the historian guy in the comments who like debunked that. It's like that people that

was in the 1100s, you know, 80, the Middle Ages. It was later when we they moved away from the church when they, you know, started believing in things that were unnatural, you know, and started burning people and things like that. So, but everybody's think that is being the Middle Ages, but the middle ages were, I guess, actually pretty root-n-ized and structured. And there was, you know, there was a system for crimes and things like that. It wasn't just like people getting their heads chopped off and burned at the stake and things like that, for being accused of being a dunked in the lake or something like that. Okay.

All right. Well, Bethany, very good luck producing our checks Austin for the next week of your life. It's like a very good luck. It's a wonderful weekend. So break a leg one day, probably think it's a great for a major event. I don't know. Good luck survive.

All right. And everyone have a very good RTX. Hope to see you guys in Austin for RTX. See you soon. All right. Bye, everybody. Bye. . Do you like apples? Example.
