Starting point is 00:00:35 It's 57 degrees and I'm hot as fuck. Well, we're sitting in the sun. It's not so hot. The sun is so hot. Oh my god. Is it always like this? I got a hot coffee. you're thinking to be nice because it's cold outside. Uh-uh, wrong. It's hot. It's like 77 today. What are you talking
Starting point is 00:00:50 about? High 68 today. I looked at it on yesterday. It was in the 70s. All right. Yesterday was in the 70s. Today's not. Now today's cold, but also sitting in the sun feels so good. That's too hot. Too hot. I was thinking about it earlier. 68. That's close enough. That's what I said. That's literally what I said. Good morning, good. That's too hot, too hot. That's thinking about it earlier. 68, that's close enough. That's what I said. That's literally what I said. Good morning, Gus. Yeah. I was thinking about it earlier, and I like throwing on
Starting point is 00:01:16 pair of pants and hoody and coming to work and doing this stuff. I don't want to wear shorts anymore. Sick of, I don't want to do it anymore. Yeah. We need to figure out something else. Do you mean for the rest of your life? Yeah, I just, I mean, I'm going to, because I have to, because you really don't like for like,
Starting point is 00:01:32 I don't feel like you have a choice. It was a thing that somebody told me when I first moved here, it was just, they just said, hey, just given the wearing shorts. There's nothing you can do. You're not going to be the one to beat it. We're killed from March to November. It's for other people. So I will say it's hot in what is this early December?
Starting point is 00:01:52 Great time to wear a short sleeve anime shirt. I'm so happy I'm wearing my brown anma brim inspired shirt right now available at store.restita.com. If I would love to receive this as a gift from anyone if I didn't have one already, I think there's there's great deals going on right now at store.restita.com. I was really a toss up between this one and the earliest and you late shirt. Both really man. They're great for this time of year. If I can add on to that, it's always the right time of year to give Boston Celtics merchandise
Starting point is 00:02:26 He's head to toe today. You just really into the play in tournament Yeah, dude of course I'm into the play in tournament everything's right in the world Boston's in the play in tournament Alabama's in the playoffs everybody's happy about it all's right in the world Boston's in the play in turn. We're excited about it made basketball matter in November, December This is awesome. It's never matter. It still doesn't. It does.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Everybody's bought into this play in tournament. Yeah. It's the talk of the town. So yeah, what is this tournament? I keep seeing ads. I'm not a big basketball part. I keep seeing ads into like in season tournament. It's the best basketball person.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Well, it's so it's the NBA's attempt at doing two things. It's the attempt at being more euro in general as the talent pool increases from outside of the US. You know, if you look at like the top five players in the NBA, I think maybe one is from America. Yeah. Taking our jobs. It's become a global, it's become a global league
Starting point is 00:03:23 and they want to, I think, more represent the way the leagues work across the world like soccer works, you know, yeah, and then also we're in a situation now with load management where we have reduced the NBA season to The playoffs like the regular season the 82 game regular season does not fucking matter every sports like that though. But it shouldn't be that way anymore. And so the NBA is trying to do things to combat it. One of the ways they did is they created this in season a single elimination tournament. Is everyone in it? Every team plays in it. The way it works is there's I think five groups,
Starting point is 00:03:58 five or six groups, six groups. And there's like four or five teams in each group. And their regular season play, like every Monday and Friday game for a month were counted as in season tournament games and regular season games. So then the record at the end, they're not stopping the regular season. They're not stopping the regular season
Starting point is 00:04:14 at parallel to the regular season. The only difference is when you get to the single elimination part, which starts tonight. So the only two NBA games tonight are these two games. Then tomorrow, all the other NBA teams will play. Then Wednesday it'll be two more in season tournament games and it'll do that through Saturday and then it's over. So the teams that make it into the in season tournament, the eight teams, they have to play extra games in the season, but that's it.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And the prize, which I think they need to work on. There's a couple of things they need to tweak. The prize is $500,000 per player, There's a couple of things they need to tweak. The prize is $500,000 per player, which means nothing to players one through seven or one through eight on the team, right? They sometimes make $60 million a year. But if you're a player, 10? Whoa! Players like eight through 15, it's huge.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I think it's more, they just want to, when you're a competitive athlete like that, you just want to beat everyone else. You just want to win. I saw, you know, Eric's going to be joking on, and a lot of people are, but I did see, like Tyree's Halliburton who's one of the best point guards in the NBA we're going up against them tonight
Starting point is 00:05:08 plays for the Indiana Pacers Kings made a huge mistake getting rid of them although it worked out well for both teams love Tyree's Halliburton right pure point guard really don't a lot of them in the league anymore he said he said I agree cases he was asked in an interview does it matter and he goes does it matter are you fucking kidding me I've never won anything in my life. I never won a college championship. I've never come close to win an NBA championships. This is an opportunity for me to win something. Yeah. It matters. We want to win for God's sakes. Let me win. So it matters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Absolutely. It's a lot of money. They asked Luke Kornet who's like player 13 on the Celtics. Maybe five. He's player nine on the Celtics, maybe. They asked him what, like, what are you gonna do with your winnings and he's like, I'm gonna pay off my mortgage. Yeah. Can I be, can I be player 13? Yeah, exactly right. I mean, that really is, it's a money thing and I think that's fine and it's making the middle
Starting point is 00:05:55 of the season matter to some people and I think that's fine. I just wanna point out that Gus is trying to hide from the sun. You know that level, the desert levels in Super Mario Brothers where the sun attacks you? that's happening to me right now I just don't understand. It's not it feels good. You're hot like you're getting close in my hoodie right now It's really good. I know this part of me. It's new. You're feeling good man. This is good. We're back though. Welcome to Annma
Starting point is 00:06:20 About the NBA He played tournament. I mean I've been curious and honestly I keep seeing the commercials Sorry about the NBA. You're an NBA player. My internament. What's up? I've been curious. And honestly, I keep seeing the commercials and I've intentionally not looked into it because I wanted you to explain it to me, Jeff. Okay. Well, hopefully I explained it well. I got it.
Starting point is 00:06:34 The way to make it make more sense is that the winning team gets an extra draft pick. That's how they should structure it in the future. Money in a draft pick. So there's actual consequences, but I think they'll get there. It's, will you explain to us around Rob internment and then it goes single elimination, and then the winner gets, everyone gets $500,000.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Oh yeah. Which matters a lot to play your 12. And a cup, I mean. And a cup, you also get a cup. So like a, a Rurple NBA cup. Yeah, you get a GERPLER. You get a big, it's almost the size of a GERPLER. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:02 GERPLER max. How have you guys been doing? We had two weeks off. It's good. It's always a tough time of year from a production standpoint. Just because you have to get, you have to bank up so much stuff because of holidays. I feel like the last month of the year is people have checked out. And I'm not talking about just internally where we work. It's like, if you're working with anyone at another company,
Starting point is 00:07:30 it's like, oh yeah, they're off. They're gone, they're on vacation. It's like, everything slows down so much. And it's such a pain in the ass. It was, which is fine. It's just a lot of work for me now. It really starts in October, right? Because you have to start getting ready for Black Friday,
Starting point is 00:07:45 which is a big deal. And that time of year. And then, and of course, Thanksgiving, and then going into Christmas. So for like the last two months of the year, I feel like you do about six months worth of work. Yeah. It's been doubly fucking me over this year
Starting point is 00:07:58 because I chose to get married and go on a honeymoon in the middle of a two. So I had to ramp up production to get ready for those two weeks. And then now as soon as I get back, it's like, hit the ground running for Christmas. Do you want to say where you went? Where'd you go? I went to Mexico.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I just went to Cancun, just to a little all inclusive. It was protected by Falcons. It was good. Costs. Costs was the name of the Falcon. Costs was the name of the Falcon. Costs? Yeah, KOSS.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Big Cosby fan? No, I think it's a, I think it's a, of the Falcon. Yeah. Cause. Yeah, KOSS. Because we fan? No, I think it's a, I think it's a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's was throwing firecrackers, it was really a tense moment. I don't know what's going on. Oh, yeah, it's been a lot of that. Just for me, just doing with raccoons. So when I was a kid, I hated doing yard work. I felt like it was such a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And as I've gotten older, I really enjoy it. And I've been getting into that the last couple of weeks. Can I ask you a question? You said when you were a kid you hated a yard work, was that because you were allergic to grass all right? Or was that something that happened later in life? No, no, no, I was definitely allergic to grass already,
Starting point is 00:09:40 but was uncomfortable for you. Yeah, it was uncomfortable. My parents bought me a fucking dust mask. Thanks, mom and dad. It did nothing. But now they're saying masks don't work. So I really don't understand. I mean, the mask, mom.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I always felt like it was a waste. I'd rather be inside playing video games or something. But that's how you felt about college, too. That's true. But now it's like, especially the last two weeks with fall, there's leaves everywhere. I've really been enjoying like every other day going out and like, you know, leaf blowing on, picking them up,
Starting point is 00:10:08 putting them in a garbage bag and just like, trying to keep my lawn clean while all these leaves and raccoons are fighting me on it. I guess maybe that's part of it. Like I've really been trying to take more pride in my yard and raccoons are around fucking it up. It might, they're fat, they're fucking huge. It might be the Alabama in me.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Uh-huh. But God, I love cutting the grass. Really? It's so much fun. I really enjoy it. There's something like really zen about it. I'm right there with you, Gus. Yeah, it's, uh, like,
Starting point is 00:10:34 earliest than you late and, uh, yard work is the new video game. I don't know. Work is not the new video game. Smellers the new Xbox. That's the new game. That's the new game. Edgers the new Xbox. That's the new. That's the new. Edgers the new switch.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But that's, I don't know. I'm like, I know I'm definitely old now. Like what the other day I was doing that was like, man, if only for like 15 year old Gus could see this, he'd be fucking shaking his head and sneezing up a storm. Oh, man. But those allergies have really diminished. The grass allergy's not as bad as these two when I was a teenager
Starting point is 00:11:07 Man, it was it was like death. I was super allergic to grass, but now it's just now grass is just new inconvenience for me at this point Yeah, that's that's what I've been doing nothing to crazy. What about you Eric? You've been just doing you just been doing grass I've been trying to get in the holiday spirit because we're getting into Christmas time, but mostly it's just been scheduling shows and recordings that we can get done before the end of the year. Like Jeff's week this week is fucked. It's not great.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Jam fucking packed. Not great. Yeah. I, we're doing, for the fuckface podcast, we're doing another season of the Does It Do Infomercial Show, which is, one of my, I know I say this a lot and it loses all meaning, but it's one of my favorite things I've ever done
Starting point is 00:12:00 at Rucheteath in terms of like being in the moment. It's just really fun. But up until the second you start recording, I want to do anything else on Earth other than that. And I have so much dread going into Wednesday and Thursday because I just so don't want to do it. And I know this happens. Five minutes in, I'm going to have so much fun
Starting point is 00:12:18 and I'm going to be so thankful for it. All that's going to happen is that it's going to be dragging heels until we hit record and then you'll start and then the minute we finish that episode, he's going to have ideas for next season. We're going to do the whole season in like two days because they're not like long shoots and they're a lot of fun. They like the, I think sort of like the wackiness sort of keeps ramping up and everything on these. But so the show does do.
Starting point is 00:12:41 The show does do, but in order for the show show to do you have to find out if the product does Yeah, sometimes it don't yeah, sometimes it don't do yeah, so we'll have that that's these that'll be out probably January February something like we were we're supposed to get our assholes wax tomorrow, but I think we're not doing that that got pushed I mean I can talk about it at this point, but my wife is having a Second surgery on the back of her first surgery earlier this year from a broken wrist, and I'm the reason that it had to get pushed this time. I hate being the reason when something gets rescheduled.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I know, I think we talked about that on this show. Just be, you want to, you never wanna be the reason. Oh, you never wanna be the reason. Yeah. By the way, I thought you did every attempt at accommodating us continuing with the schedule and you just not being there But Gavin refuses to have his asshole waxed without Eric being in the room. He wants me to be there so bad
Starting point is 00:13:31 And then like that lady was not into the conversation. Yeah, and then was asking like if my wife needed the surgery What are you talking about wow So it's been I mean that's what I've been to even like the off weeks. I don't think we've talked about not wanting to be the reason something gets rescheduled, but it's like to the point where on the drive here, I was in a call because I didn't want to hold up this meeting
Starting point is 00:13:54 and have this meeting rescheduled or be longer. It's like the only time they could make it work was 10 a.m. I was like fine, I'll take the car while I watch Jeff forget that I 35183 change. I told you, if I'm the I-35183 changed. If I'm driving, we're driving my way. We did it. That's the way we do it.
Starting point is 00:14:09 And we had the quietest pleasantries ever because of your fucking phone call. So yeah, it's like taking a call while driving to come here and do this show, like just doubling up on stuff and trying to find a way to make it work. Yeah, I gotta, as soon as we're done here, I gotta sit down and research and figure out this week's so all right, which I have no fucking clue on. I was thinking maybe Ford Fairland. Do you remember that movie that you just supported Fairland?
Starting point is 00:14:33 I was a little bit of a reed. Was that an Alas and Andrew Dice clan? Andrew Dice clan. And O'Neill fucking Piscilla Presley Wayne Newton, Gilbert Godfrey, it was a crazy cast. I never saw. Yeah, crazy cast, huge soundtrack, sound track is way bigger than the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Real, like 1990 Andrew Dice Clay, kind of a misogyny, I think maybe that's why I didn't play. Although that shit played really well in the 90s, so who knows? But I found that it was based on a series of short stories written in the 1970s. Yeah, they were published in a newspaper. And so I bought the book, the collection, I'm gonna read them first, but I don't know if I'll get to them today.
Starting point is 00:15:12 So yeah, it's like we said, it's that great time of year. And then like you said, you screwed yourself over. You got a ton extra to do. Yeah, then I got to run over to do the break show after that. Yeah, well, I'll be on it today. Okay, thanks for you. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah, it's just, it's the time. I think you probably, if you've been following this company at all over the last 20 years, you've heard us talk about this on any number of shows where the holidays turn into like, I want to get this. I would say this, this, this holiday season is great because this is the first time since 2008 that I'm not that I'm talking about RTP over the holiday break Not don't have to do like six recordings in a week or for something insane Which you remember that you have to help Oh, I remember yeah, but don't worry. I have all these other shows now
Starting point is 00:16:02 But no, instead of that show, he has 11 other podcasts. Yeah, pretty much. It's just like, I mean, we have to talk about when we're gonna record these. It's not super hard to get more of these in, but at the same time, it's just like, I don't wanna be the one to add more shit to your guys' schedule.
Starting point is 00:16:15 We know what's gonna happen. Have a block for this, so it's not terrible. Speaking of RTP, did you see the new carat all about the Fallout trailer that came out the other day? So I have very limited exposure to the fallout show that's coming out. I saw that a trailer came out, but I thought about it and I thought I haven't read anything about it. I just won't watch the trailer. I'll just watch the show when I come back. I do care about the show.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I care about fallout. I care about Bethesda. I care about the property. I, uh, so we'll see. Oh, I just want to watch. I, so we'll see. All right. I just want to watch the show blind. It's got water goggins, you know I'm a big goggin' head. Oh, you got to love Uncle Baby Billy. Oh, he's also, I was watching, do you guys watch Invincible? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I didn't realize he's the government agent, dude, with the, with the, with the mullet, the white hair with the mullet. That's him? That's fucking wall he got. It looks just like him. Yeah. What's his name? I can't. I just watched episode one of season two last night. He's all over it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I mean, they're doing. I'm really annoyed at that show right now. I've only seen episode one of the season two. They're breaking it up. Yeah, I think it was because of the strike, wasn't it? Well, is that why? Oh, I think so. Yeah, like I watched the fourth episode and then this past week, I was like, Hey, I didn't watch the new episode. I went to look for it. It's like, Oh, I think so. Yeah, like, I watched the fourth episode, and then this past week I was like, Hey, I didn't watch the new episode. I went to look for it. It's like, oh, no, they're on break. They're on break.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And I think it's like a lost situation. I think the strike fucked it up. Gotcha. Speaking of fucking new shows, have you guys watched or been watching Squid Game the Challenge? No, that seems like a terrible idea. It's so good. Huh.
Starting point is 00:17:44 It is so fucking good. I feel like the people who came up with that missed the idea and remarked that they lost the lead of the fucking show. No, they do. You're right, right? Except they do a thing. They figure out a way to make it make sense. It's all I'll say because that because they tweak the
Starting point is 00:18:05 challenge some of them are straight from the show right yeah like walking across the the bridge like that kind of stuff is straight from the show but they make those people live together and they form alliances and then they force them through challenges to backstab each other and so while people aren't really dying, the somehow carries so much weight when people get voted out, because they also have these between the big challenges, they'll be like, all right, everybody come in the middle of the room. Now, you vote for somebody, and they're like, vote for what?
Starting point is 00:18:35 They go vote for somebody who gets to stay in the room, and they're like, okay, you vote for somebody, and they're like, you vote for somebody, and they're like, okay, they do like 10 times, like, all right, everybody else, you're just dead. Oh my god! It's just like, it's brutal. They just, and so they found a way to make the stakes make,
Starting point is 00:18:48 like really, and it's four and a half million dollars. The winner gets. $4.65 million, they have the fucking pig, and every time people get voted out, they pop it in. They do one thing that's kind of, it's kind of hokey, but you get into it, is when you're out, like say, when the marbles game or whatever, when the person loses, they all wear squibs.
Starting point is 00:19:08 On it. And then they have to pretend they're dead and fall over. That's cool. Yeah. All right. Jeff Ramsey gives it a thumbs up, maybe. From a reality standpoint, from a, from a double crossing dramatic, like all the things I love
Starting point is 00:19:22 about the temptation island survivor, that people losing their minds, people like betraying each other and feeling like just ruining each other's friendships and relationships. This show is full of that. So it's funny you say that because the, my big reality show right now, well it's been my big reality show forever is the amazing race. So good this season. Okay, so I was gonna complain.
Starting point is 00:19:41 It's too wholesome now. You think so? I feel like this season is a return to form from last season. I thought last season was too wholesome. They've been struggling a bit because of COVID, obviously, that kind of fucked up the format of the show. This is a lot more true to the way the show should be, but I feel like everyone in general is too nice.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I'm thinking about like old teams from like the early years where it was just so cutthroat. Well, I mean, it's still like nobody wants to help the brothers out, right? Yeah, because they're consistently and there and they'll be like, no, like I'd like the bearded dude was like, I'd love to help you, but I feel like I can't right now. You're right. They're very friendly about it. Yeah, they're very friendly about it. Like I think about what was it Ian and Terry.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Remember that fucking old dude who like had to drain his fuel lines because they put the wrong fuel. Like that dude would not help anyone. He would spit on anybody who asked for help or even like when Boston Rob in amber had their villain run after survivor and they did two seasons on amazing race like it was so cutthroat back then yeah and and like watching and now it's like it's still a great show it's just like think times have changed so much. Everyone's just way more friendly about it. I guess I'm enjoying it because I watch it. I like it too.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I watch it with you way back in the day when you're talking about it, when it was cut through. Right? And then I didn't watch it for years, years, and years. I came back to it last season and it was rough. And so this season feels like amazing. Like they're taking flights again. Yeah, last season they were doing all the charter.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah. And so it just feels like an improvement for last season. So it's weird because, you know, that show has been around for over 20 years now. Like this is season, I think 35. I think it's been around for 22 or 23 years at this point. And the world has changed so much while that show has been on the air. You know, you think about when that show has been on the air. You know, you think about when that show first came out. I remember episode one, season one, they're like,
Starting point is 00:21:29 all right, you know, they were in New York and I forget where the first place they had to go was. Like, you all have to fly to London or wherever it was. Go, and everyone immediately ran for a pay phone. Right? There was no, like, I'm gonna stop someone and ask to use their smartphone. There was no, there was like, everyone ran for a pay phone to try to call a travel agent
Starting point is 00:21:47 and then tried to get into a cab to go there. Like, they still can't, they're not supposed to use, you know, phones or whatever. So, but the go to is you ask a passerby to use your phone and try to figure out where you're going or what you're doing that way. But it's like just the juxtaposition of the very beginning of the show and where they are now,
Starting point is 00:22:03 the world is totally different. Yeah, somehow you and I are still hanging out doing the same shit. Pretty cool. That's great. We watched episode one, season one together, and here we are talking about it 25 years later. Yeah, great show, fucking phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I also, well, yeah, great show. I think I'm like 99% sure I've seen every season in every episode. Oh, I had a missed a huge swath of it. Especially during the pandemic when you couldn't travel like 2020, 2021, I went back and every watched all of them. You were traveling vicariously through them.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, it was like, oh, I just like went through and just like powered through because they were all on, I think they were all on prime video at the time. Maybe now they're all like a paramount plus or something but it's like, I was like, I was like, I'm just gonna watch every episode of the Amazing Race.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, it's like Emily and I watched 25 seasons of Survivor during the pandemic. Same thing. Jesus. It's funny because I haven't watched Survivor in years, right? But it's the lead and show to the Amazing Race. Yes. And to this day, when I record the amazing race,
Starting point is 00:23:06 when they always start with the very end of survivor, like showing votes and whatnot, I won't look at it, cause in my mind I might watch the season of survivor, and I don't want to know who got voted out, cause I'll remember it. So I'll try to hit play then really quickly, fast forward to the amazing race
Starting point is 00:23:18 and not pay attention to what's going on in the survivor. I got too excited about amazing race a couple of weeks ago, and so we jumped and watched amazing race before a survivor, and I got survived excited about Amazing Race a couple weeks ago. And so we jumped and watched Amazing Race before Survivor and I got Survived. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. Cool. So there was an interesting wrinkle, I guess, that happened.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Sorry, this is an Amazing Race podcast now. Yeah, you're welcome. Well, listen, this podcast is about you and I talking about the nostalgia of our friendship in Austin. And we watched season one of this show in Austin a long time ago. What makes sense? We watched the first couple of seasons, because I know we watched In one of this show in Austin a long time ago. So that makes sense. We watched the first couple of seasons,
Starting point is 00:23:47 because I know we watched Inetair, Inetair were season three. I know we watched the My Year Old House down south. So we watched the first three seasons together anyway. Inching bit of trivia I found out about the amazing race is this. So apparently this current season of the amazing race, what is it? I said it's like 35, I think. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:08 They already have another season in the can that they have not aired. Whoa. A guest back in January earlier this year, CBS asked survivor and the Amazing Race, hey, instead of hour long shows, can you make hour and a half shows? And the Amazing Race production was already mostly done
Starting point is 00:24:21 with a season that they had already edited to be hour shows. So like, fuck, let's just film a new season for hour and a half length, put that one out. And then the season that they already filmed that's already in the can is gonna be the next season that premieres in February. It's like this really weird thing,
Starting point is 00:24:36 or it's like oh, they had to really shuffle, they shot a whole new season just to put it out in this new format. I think that for a little while their post pandemic survivor was running overlaps recordings. Like they were recording the next season before the current one ended. And they were like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:24:51 and now they, I think it's like a factory. They're just like running, like as soon as one ends, they start to, they're on. They do, well, they didn't feed G. They go, they've been in Fiji for the last like nine seasons or the last 11 seasons in the same location. They give up like traveling around the world. They're just stuck in a place,
Starting point is 00:25:05 which I think makes a lot more sense to them probably. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Who gives a shit if they're in Australia or Fiji or where? Yeah, hey, here, this background is changed. Nope. It's funny because not to derail you, but I always wonder the same thing
Starting point is 00:25:18 about like naked and afraid, which is another show I watch. It's like, we're in South Africa or we're in Bolivia. I was like, all right, so you're either in a jungle or a desert, which is, there's two we're in South Africa or we're in Bolivia. All right. So are you either in a jungle or a desert? Which is it? Is it hot or cold? It's like a loan. I don't know if you guys watch it. I love a loan. But it's always like we're in North Canada. Still in North Canada. Always North Canada. They bounce around a little bit. Yeah. I never thought about them just being in one spot. Yeah. I had no idea. It makes losses. After a production standpoint, it's going to be so much easier. I never thought about them just being in one spot. I had no idea. They're not watching stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:45 It makes losses. After a production standpoint, it's going to be so much easier. So much easier. And they shorten the seasons. Like, it used to be 50 days. I think are 54 days. I can't remember. Now it's like 27.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Well, I think they did that post pandemics. And now they just turn and burn. They eliminated dead days. Because I think that like every third day was just a day to yourself on the beach. And I don't think that should. I think probably you controlling, like you having all your production there, you controlling all that stuff and everything,
Starting point is 00:26:08 that probably helps, all that stuff. I think they're trying to streamline, like this season the amazing race also did away with non-illimination legs, which has been really, really interesting. Yeah, but I miss the non-illimination legs because there was always that question mark, like this team I like is gonna get eliminated
Starting point is 00:26:23 unless the wild card is not elimination, but they kind of replace it, they kind of do a bait switch where they're like, guess what? You're still racing and they give you the clue, like, oh, so this episode doesn't end, it's like a part one, there's a part two. Yeah, but I do miss it, kind of like how there was the Tim Gunn surprise back in the day
Starting point is 00:26:39 where he could save somebody if he disagreed with him getting voted out of Project Runway. Oh, the guy's Christian does that, too,way. I think as Christian does that, you know. I love the 90 minute format. How do you feel about it? No, it's good. It's great for Survivor in Amazing Race. I think some people complain that in their opinion,
Starting point is 00:26:55 it leads to like padding of the episode. I don't know about Survivor, I'm gonna speak into Amazing Race. But I feel like for the Amazing Race, you get to see a lot more and there's more variety. Sometimes it's like you get a detour road more, and there's more variety. Sometimes it's like, you get a detour roadblock, and then there's something else as well. There's just more going on and more activities to do,
Starting point is 00:27:10 which is what I really like, but there wasn't a weird, wait, I forget, you said you've only seen episode one of Invincible, so have you watched the season of Amazing Race so far? I've seen all of this season of Amazing Race. They, either Slovenia paid them some good money, or someone's got a fucking hard on for Slovenia. Well, that was, I think they said the first time they'd ever been there. Right, but they spent like two or three episodes there.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Everyone's like, oh, it's so beautiful here. It's the best place. And even I was like, man, I'm going to Slovenia now. It works. Whoever paid for that, man, that's money will spend. It's wide ring Pepsi because that Kindle Generic commercial, that shit works. It's fucking works we'll spend. It's wide-dring Pepsi, because that Kindle Generic commercial that shit works. It's fucking works. It works. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ at the problem in a different way.

Yeah, he did. He did some lighting. I want to say, like the New York, I think, like area. Really? I think is where I think that's where they're at. Did he live up there now? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And so I was talking to him, this back when they were doing with the shooter or whatever, and he was like, I'm doing this. And I'm like, that's awesome. And then, I want big fallout fans. Yeah, so, uh, dog day coffee shop. I don't think we've mentioned where we are. Nope. Eric tried a few times and we kept cutting them off.
Starting point is 00:32:10 You know, it's okay. Sometimes it's, you know, it's the background of what we're doing here. What's great about this place is I've seen two or three different people try to go in and find the entrance and they can't. So, you see us drinking coffee and we know it's here. We don't know how to get it. It is connected to Nosh and Bevy, which is the bar. So, Burnett Road from Anderson to one of these three
Starting point is 00:32:30 is a dead zone to me. I don't, for whatever reason, I don't ever come up here. So, it's all new. Gus pointed out, we do have a connection to this parking lot. Maybe you better be told it's, it's a story we told on Anima before.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I have to be. Yeah, I won't get into the whole thing. Oh, okay. But the time that my first life throughout the gun guys. Yeah, she threw up on me. It was in this parking lot. Common interest at karaoke bars right over there. And you see that island, it's not this one, there's two islands here.
Starting point is 00:32:57 There's one with a light on it. That other island passed it. That doesn't have a light on it. We were right by there on the left side that were more facing closer to common interest. And that's where she peaked on me. You have a phenomenal memory, but I can't see it.
Starting point is 00:33:08 It's steered into my mind. We got in the car and Jeff went, I don't know where I'm going. And I went, oh, it's a dog de'coffee, like Nasha and Bevy. Guess what? And common interest. Where your wife threw up on me.
Starting point is 00:33:23 What? Not Emily. No, no, no, no no no. Yeah Jeff was like how am I supposed to remember that? I was like nineteen ninety nine. I was like how can you forget? It was right there. Twenty four fucking years ago. I think that's the only time I've been vomited on by an adult. I kind of remember it. It was very funny. It was after that that Gus wrote the list of pros and cons to being my friend and decided he was going to was going to either break up with me or stay for the first time.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Prozul. Prozul and wow. He said it was close. It was a preview of Bush Gorg in 2000. Yeah. Which I think it's a Supreme Court to figure it out. So this little strip, what Jeff is saying is true for me also, from Anderson to 183 on Burnett, I drive it and every time I drive it, I go, oh, something new.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Yeah. And nothing's new on this strip. It's all been here for a very long time. But I have no memory of this drag for some reason, but I really like this drag. There's an oil change place over there on the other side of Burnett that used to be a jiffy loop. And I was remember that place because I wanna say it was in the early 2000s, they got in a lot of trouble
Starting point is 00:34:31 because the city found out they weren't disposing of their motor oil, they were just tossing it out back. That's all I saw. So they got shut down. So that's when I was associate this stretch of Burnett with is the jiffy loop that got so lazy, they were just tossing the oil out. I don't do something about it. Dude, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Not a jiffy loop anymore. So the gas pipe used to be over here too, it's like a headshot, but I think all the gas pipe locations are gone. This, it's disappearing rapidly as like if you're familiar with Burn it and you've driven if you haven't driven down here in a while, every other block is being bulldozed to turn into like a five-story condo with, you know, first floor retail. You can see there's one right over there. Yeah, there's one fence top. Yeah, over here. That's gonna go be. And there's there's actually a few in this little strip, but those aside, this is one of the only places that
Starting point is 00:35:22 still feels like the Austin. I think you and I used to say Burnett further south used to be that way. It's not anymore, but it's not. It's like it's slowly pushing its way out of here. And I don't know how to quantify that other than it's just like unassuming and a little rundown in a in a clean way and a charming way. It's like probably a homeless dude wearing a T-Rex shirt. and a charming way. It's like probably a homeless dude wearing a T-Rex shirt that is in a Kalachi.
Starting point is 00:35:47 It's one story businesses mixed in with strip malls and the businesses are for things that you would never need in your day-to-day life. Like leather shoe repair or vacuum cleaners. You do not need a kayak, they're having a huge kayak sale, water-waves. You need a kayak sale. That's a good way to put it, dude.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Right by atomic tattoo, it's places that you would never rock and roll rental. It's places you never go day to day. That fucking atomic tattoo, I went into one time. I actually have a story about that tattoo. Oh, okay. I was gonna go with somebody you can get a tattoo one night where we're gonna get like matching tattoos.
Starting point is 00:36:22 This is maybe a decade ago. Jout drinking on a one night where we're gonna get like matching tattoos. This is maybe a decade ago. Drinking on a Friday night, we're like, we should get tattooed together right now. Okay, let's fucking do it. Went into that tattoo parlor because it was open. This is like 11 a.m. and they were probably open until I won or two. And we wanna get some matching tattoos
Starting point is 00:36:39 where we're gonna get hand tattoos, I remember. I don't remember what they were. I don't even remember what they were. We were gonna get matched tattoos. And the guy that was working there was like I could do it and the guy just looked It was like a layer of dirt on him You know and he had and I remember he put his hands down on the table and he had in like old English script Completely blown out and I got a lot of blown out tattoos, but like on his hands. It just said Sith Lord
Starting point is 00:37:12 And this old English script and I went, and he like went into the back to smoke a cigarette or something and he was like, he given us a book to look through or something. And when he went back, I was like, let's just go. And we laughed and I didn't get a tattoo that night. Sorry, atomic tattoo. If you're listening to this, you want to give us, you want to show us how to this, if you want to give us, that place grossed me out. You want to, you want to show us how you've changed and you want to give us free tattoos, you can contact us, you follow us at Animal Podcast on Instagram on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Just send us a DM, say, hey, what's up, we're atomic tattoo, we'll give you free tattoos to make up for that thing for. It's said we're at the time here anymore. He probably owns, it's probably, oh no, no, it's so good. It's probably a lovely dude. I just like was skived out by the whole environment.
Starting point is 00:37:43 But that's, that's this whole area. This whole area is like that from, again, from Anderson up to 183, and you can take this all the way, and it's the bowling alleys up here and everything. Yeah, it's a little further. Which everything's going away, so. By the way, I should say,
Starting point is 00:37:55 because I was like 40, 38, 40, I said no. If I was 22, I would've got three tattoos from that. I would've been like, let's rack them up. Let's do it. How many are you open for? Totally. I think I read the other day that the speculation that Highland Lane's gonna be closing next year. I would have been like, let's rack them up, let's do it. How many open four? Totally. I think I read the other day that there's speculation
Starting point is 00:38:06 that Highland Lane's gonna be closing next year. Yeah, they are. I don't think it's speculation, I think it's happening. They're gonna retire, right? I think they sold it and it's retiring. And Lebowski's is moving, I think. Oh, okay. Somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:38:20 I think I'm gonna find another bowling alley because the next is weird without a bowling. It really, really weird without it. But I took my friend Jason there. We talked about it and one of like the supplementals took my friend Jason there because it was just like a very Austin thing to do
Starting point is 00:38:31 and then I got recognized by one of the people that worked at LaBassa. Really? Very nice. Yeah. She's like, oh my god. Are you Eric? And I went, yeah. We took a picture. It was great. Amber grows fantastic. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:38:40 That rules. Yeah. We watch people bowl and we watched a play in tournament game. And my friend Jason was just going, what the fuck is going Oh, we're seeing a hamburger going this crazy, and I went Austin baby. It's great You know I was getting I was getting dinner the night with my cousin and his husband Uh-huh, and we were talking about burgers
Starting point is 00:38:57 And I want to get back on the burger train a little burger talk because there's a lot of there's a lot of new burger spots in town But he was talking about Clarks has the best burger in town. Clarks has a great burger. And I keep hearing that. I don't know that I've ever had the burger there, but I really want to find out. Like I'm thinking like, I do want to know
Starting point is 00:39:13 what the best burger is. Yeah, and I think they might not be open for lunch. They are. I think they are. They've got great french fries. No, that's what I want to eat. Yeah, they got like almost like shoe string really thin. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Super crisp and perfectly salted. They've got a really good burger there. All right, well, I'll look at the calendar. And we're in a book. We also need to do Hat Creek, which is right down from the bottom here. 25 burger bar, whatever the one we got broken into. Not too long ago up on far west.
Starting point is 00:39:38 If we're talking burgers, we would be remissed not to mention the passing of Fran. Oh, Fran and Dan. I didn't realize she was still alive. So I sent that to you guys and that was the first thing you said. Was that, oh my God. That's insane. It was a lot.
Starting point is 00:39:53 87, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I read the article, the right up in the statesman, that you sent about it. And apparently she was a waitress at El Gayo, which is at Mexican restaurant. We talked about forever ago that was down off of South Congress, where it's like, they don't do substitutions. I see might have been the lady who yelled at me. I told me, I like Sire Cream, and I'm like, I really don't.
Starting point is 00:40:13 It's just like weird, the intersection of local establishments like that. But that's the changing landscape of Austin is, I never got to eat it, France. I've been to dance, been to a bunch of dance. I think what we said before, you then you've eaten it, friends. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I think even in the comments, unread it about it, someone was like, yeah, the only difference was, friends used mustard on the number one. Yeah. Or something inconsequential like that. That's an awesome idea, baby. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:40 But yeah, we'll get in some burger apps because we're gonna have to batch for a couple of these anyway, so we're gonna have to do some afternoons, grab a couple of burgers. That makes total sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So speaking of Austin stuff, I had an idea. Bear with me.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I was the other day, one of my favorite things is watching local lawyer commercials. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. And they're all terrible. It's like, I look at them and I would always wonder and I was joke like, could you make a dream team of local lawyers? Like who would the dream team look like?
Starting point is 00:41:15 Like if I was hit by an OJ defense team. Right. If I was hit by an 18 wheeler who would I call? Like that kind of stuff. And I really annoy my wife because, whenever a Ted Lawrence commercial comes on, I do all of his lines and I act it out. Oh no!
Starting point is 00:41:30 I'm at top of it. Yeah. Come on, that's not right. Like I know all of his greatest hits. She hates it. But then I started wondering, so then my thought process kept going. And I thought, if you had like a battle royale
Starting point is 00:41:45 of all like the sleazy local TV lawyers, who would win? And I wanna put this out to the audience. I don't wanna have this discussion right now. I wanna prime the pump and put it out there so the audience can do their research. So we have our opinions. Yeah, living in Austin for our entire adult lives. I tried to pair it down to eight. Okay, wow. And I made a list of eight. I wonder if I'll recognize all eight. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:10 So right after the reason I had this idea was I was watching a Wayne Wright commercial. So I had a Wayne Wright on. It's first, after that, it's Thomas J. Henry. Oh, T.J. H. Ted Lorenz. Ted Lorenz. I'm top of it. Jeff Davis. Yeah. Ted Lorenz, Ted Locompa, bit. Jeff Davis. Yeah, for the for the for the. They were talking about David Comey, you got to bring up Chris Moro, who doesn't really do TV ads, but, and I neither just David Comey anymore,
Starting point is 00:42:50 but there's bad blood apparently between Chris Moro and David Comey, so that's why I got to put him both up there. Adam Lowey, who's a newcomer to TV, he has billboards everywhere, but I put him on the list because Brandon Farmingini loves arguing with him on Twitter. Brandon, that's, I don't know if you follow Brandon, that's his favorite pastime.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And then of course, another blast from the past. Betty Blackwell. Hell yeah. Merchant on the show. I want to mention Betty Blackwell from her original commercials. Yes, not from her. Do no Betty Blackwell. Let me, let me pose this to you for priming the pump and people can start the debate in the
Starting point is 00:43:27 In the comments and in on our slash animal podcast Let me pose this to you. What if Maybe towards the end of the season We have our own play and turn our own in season turn we have our own in season tournament where we have an Eight player bracket and then our own in season tournament where we have an eight player bracket and then we watch the come we do this is like a live stream what if we do this is like a live stream where or recorded think whatever where we have the eight random draw and then we want we'll watch the matchup and we watch the commercials and we have the debate and we pull the audience on who should win
Starting point is 00:44:02 and so there's weight behind so now there's kind of a little bit of a weight on pulled the audience on who should win. And so there's weight behind. So now there's kind of a little bit of a weight on like the audience is saying this one, but you guys think this way. And you kind of have to debate, compare and contrast. And then as it gets deeper and deeper, just on this stream, we get deep into like, oh fuck, David Komey, you're gonna make it to the next round.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I love this. I love this. You're elevating the idea. I love this. I think doing a play in a, I think a local lawyer play internment is such a fucking funny idea. I think I think doing a play in a Local lawyer play internment is I gotta be honest with you guys. I think there's a clear winner I think one of these people's like fucking Thanos compared to the rest of the book. I think so too
Starting point is 00:44:35 But you can't discount an underdog. Oh, no, you're right. You're right You know a number 16 doesn't beat a number one a lot, but The game for a reason that's the well, unless your college football All of it Alabama's in the playoffs. Yeah, exactly. So so you don't play and we deserve to be I can't wait for I'm gonna lose to Texas again The number one team in the country. What do you want from this you lost to Texas? That was last month's news.
Starting point is 00:45:05 It's what it meant for me lately. It's so it was the college ball playoff thing. I knew it was just going to be like a wacky thing, especially here in Austin. I watched it live, the selection stream, because I had to know and the Texas made it and I went, hell yeah, I'm like, I wonder what the other one's going to be. And it wasn't Florida. And it was like, what is going on? Crazy, crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Florida State. Yep. No losses, perfect season, sorry. Sorry, play for us. Well, they have one loss, the ACC, because that fucking leaving. There's no way they're sticking around now. But I'm in the shade now, it's cold.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Oh my God. I'm gonna get like half in the shade, half in the sun. We gotta turn so delicate. Yeah, really? We gotta talk about Dog Day, this coffee. I don't think, I don't think there's, again, the third time we're trying to get to it. Hey, my coffee, or take my coffee, a half an hour ago.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I don't know that there's a ton to say about. Maybe you guys feel differently, but Dog Day inside of Nosh and Bevy, I've been here one other time, watch the US play, I think the Netherlands, in the World Cup, had a cup of coffee here, after a couple of beers. If you come here, the entrance is around the corner from the base. It's not on the front. It looks like it's not on the bar.
Starting point is 00:46:10 It's outside. No, it's close to the common interest. It is. So you can check it out if you want to. The bar doesn't open until later. It's blocked off. It is blocked off day. And so dog day is within the bar. And you can sit here if you're a nausea and bevy person and you go, it's just it's in the middle of this bar, but the entrance is not the bar entrance. It's very strange.
Starting point is 00:46:34 But what did you guys think? Guess you got the Maricano and Jeff, you got the ice coffee or the cold brew. That was on Nitro, by the way. Yeah. That you had to like let settle. Yeah. Um, this is not the best cup of coffee, uh-huh, but not terrible. This is very middle of the road.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I, uh, like given the choice between my coffee at home and this, I'll drink my coffee at home every time. Um, this, a little biter, uh, a little, maybe over extracted. If I'm gonna get real picky, I mean, I'm, this is probably like a 6.5. This a little biter, a little maybe over extracted. If I'm gonna get real picky, I mean, this is probably like a 6.5. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Creamy, a little flat on taste. I'll give it like a 7.4. Okay, 7.4. Four. Oh. This is maybe the worst coffee I've had since we started this show. I've drank through about two thirds of it. The bottom is just sludge. Oh, this is maybe the worst coffee I've had since we started this show. I've drank through about two thirds of it. The bottom is just sludge. Oh, you're kidding.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Goodness. Look at the sediment in the cup. The bottom is just sludge. That's insane. And I'm drinking it. You can taste it. Yeah. And it's just, it just keeps making me go, it's like giving me a headache. Yeah. It tastes like old coffee because it is. Yeah, I only drank about half of my. Yeah, um, it I like this place as a bar and I think if you're a few drinks in and you need to get a cup of coffee, what a fucking god send. Yeah, it is right there and it is quick service. I recommend this if you're at Noshinbevy getting a little slammed. It's a, so since it's a shared space with the bar. It's like a cool dark place. Yes with like some real big comfy comfy looking chairs I know we sat outside. Yep. So I say it does have that going for it
Starting point is 00:48:13 There's there's a dude taking a work conference call in there. Absolutely. They they seem to be pretty pro veteran I'll say that they were like they have a thing It looks like where you can pay it forward where if you can pay for a cup of coffee for a veteran And they put a receipt on the wall and if you're a veteran you can pull it down and he didn't do it. No, I don't I have this something Emily and I argue about a lot. I don't ever feel comfortable doing that. I don't know I learned I mean now I here's where I do it. I think I said it facetiously, but you know, I know I will park in the veteran spot at lows. Uh-huh. I feel comfortable doing that to be fair So will I but I don't know I don't know why I think I survived the cold of wars I was for five years so I don't know why I always have like I
Starting point is 00:48:58 Haven't in Poster syndrome on Tyro life, but I don't know why I wouldn't have a year I think most veterans who are like stand up guys also probably wouldn't take that off the wall. Yeah, it's like there's probably a veteran who needs a move. Needs it and that is I think I can afford a cup of coffee. I think that's most of the thinking that you would run into veterans.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I think they would be like, I don't need it, I don't need to do that. Yeah, I think that would just be it. It's great to have there and I think there are people who definitely need it. I think it's so cool. It's great. I don't think we are nice enough in general to veterans.
Starting point is 00:49:28 No, I think we have. I think I will hardly agree with that. As a government. Yeah. Hey, thanks for the years of your life. Anyway, here's the VA. Go fuck yourself. Yeah, good luck.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Yeah, good luck. Anyway, we're cutting funding. The hards, like, oh, Halloween for five years, you don't give VA fuck off. Sorry, only if we maimed you in your five years? Do you have access to the VA? You really? You don't get access to the VA? No. I didn't know that. I know if you fucking retire from it or get disability.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Wow. Yeah. I figured it was like, I can't go on base. I tried to go to Fort Hood a couple years ago just to reminisce that it wouldn't let me on base. I figured if you'd served that you were at all, you were set for VA stuff. No, the VA and the way that government keeps getting Strictor with that stuff and cutting funding is like, okay cool. I mean at least it's just lip service that we love soldiers
Starting point is 00:50:12 It's like nurses during COVID. Yeah, thumbs up. Thank you for your service. It's a foster pension. We're gonna support the shit out of you for two weeks Thank you Veterans nurses and I think fast food employees veterans nurses and I think fast food employees. So I I recommend even though this cup of coffee isn't great. I recommend this place as a bar that has stuff to do and coffee for when you're drunk. That is to me, this is a terrible cup of coffee while I'm having a cup of coffee. It is a great cup of coffee after two like black and tan. Yeah, very situational.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh, absolutely. And I love this situation needs to be happening way more inside of bars. I would love to have more coffee inside of bars. Oh, this is awesome. Yeah, I won't be mowing any place that is pro military. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Definitely come check out a dog day. I think it's really cool. I think come out check out Nosh and Bevy and then come on over and have a cup of coffee. Do you some karaoke or a common interest? Throw up on your friends friends. Throw up on Guss and get you play some pool over at Slick Willys.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Yeah, that's it. Hey, we actually have a letter. You've got a piece of paper. A letter? We actually have something that somebody sent into us to Ann Muth and they sent a little note. So this will be, there's not really a question here, but this will be our, uh, Anarki me anything for this week.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Hey Gus, Jeff and Eric. It's like they, they sloppily tore that off of a notepad. Uh, yes, they did. And they were in a rush. I got to write something. Love hearing all the old stories and what each building at Austin used to be. Game of the good work. It used to be a Tiffany Lubratt over there.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I've sent a bag of coffee from my favorite local roaster here in Toledo. Oh. Enjoy Mocomba from Flying Rhino. One of the only coffees I've ever tasted where I detected the note of what they say on the bag. Oh, blueberry. Love.

Starting point is 00:52:46 I thought he said a great likes region. That's true. Yeah, because that could be a Toledo in the great lake, and it could be two. How many Toledo's are there in America? Toledo, Ohio, okay. Toledo, Spain, well that's not. Toledo, drive Austin, Texas,
