The new TikTok hack for banking is pay with checks everywhere you go. This is like, this is mind blowing. It's been what, a week? Yeah. They don't know what to do. It's probably still like framed.

Congratulations. Yeah. How much was it for, if I can ask? It was like seven bucks. I want to say it was 7.46, somewhere around there. Wasn't a ton of stuff. Wow. Do you think, and I realize the audience can't see this,

but do you think those are the saddest? Most dilapidated lockers ever There's a bank. Oh my god high school or five high school wall lockers here a part of its obscured by a pole for me Yeah At least I was here Well, I mean I can't fault the Alabama school system. County to five is like junior high level stuff. I mean, if you're depressed about this, how are you feeling about the trunk left to the

elements? Oh, that's I will say, at least the lockers have seen stuff. Yeah, they moved from where they were. Yeah, they weren't born here. They're not like in a dilapidated high school, like they have not lived their entire or had their entire existence in one spot. I wonder if we've seen the birth of the new spider house coffee shop here Where it's just like they used to be a famous coffee shop in Austin for many many years as a matter of fact

I accidentally ran into one of the guys that owned it on Saturday And really he had a spider house hat on and I said, I love your hat and then he goes. Thanks. It almost ruined my life And I said, I love your hat and he goes thanks it almost ruined my life About uh how much of a money hole that place was Really yeah, he said he owned it for like three years and What's the most pack though? Yeah, and the new place tweety's seems to be doing pretty well, too Anyway, spider house was famous because I had this huge yard that was full of junk We've talked about it a lot probably like old broken statues

Yeah, fucking like bed springs and shit, but it was charming had countless sangrias in that I've never had a sangria anywhere else. Okay. They ever had a sangria was a spider. I was always in there. I don't know why It's like whoever but Jason. I think we I've hung out with Jason there quite a bit Jason. Yeah, Sangria is there at spider house That dog yeah be a bartender there. Yeah, he remembers Gus I think we hung out with Jason there quite a bit. Jason always got sangrias there at Spider House. That dog used to be a bartender there. Yeah, he- He remembers Gus. He would bartend all over the place. He bartended at Mohawk when I would go to

a bunch of wrestling shows that were at Mohawk. And I was talking to him about it, and he was saying, yeah, a lot of the other bartenders didn't wanna work, he's like, this wrestling thing. He's like, you guys were great. Everyone would come and buy the cheapest, shittiest beer and tips so good, it was awesome.

It would be great if you're a bartender and someone just orders like a beer. That's like the easiest thing to get. Here's like, it's just a bunch of dudes in their 20s going like, get six of Montucky cold snap, whatever bullshit, and you just set them down and you have like that long like bottle opener thing and you just put on a thing, go tst, tst, tst.

12 pearl lights please. Yeah. I don't drink anymore, so it's been a while since I've thought about this, but does Alan will still do the bucket of beer? I think so. Wait, what? I don't know.

They used to be able to buy a bucket of beer and they would have five beers and like bottles of beer in a bucket with ice. Oh, I don't think they. I mean, if you get like a little bottle opener attached to it and you could just like, you'd be like a bucket of beer and have five beers and a like bottles of beer in a bucket with ice? Oh, I don't think they- And you get like a little bottle opener attached to it and you could just like you'd be like a bucket of beer and they just like bring out this metal pail filled with ice and beer and be like that would be my beer for the movie. I want to do that and drink five beers while watching a movie. Yeah, you know, we'd get like a bucket each.

I think the thought was you would share it, but where we were it's like we always like a bucket each. No, no, no. I'm gonna go watch The Jerk eat pizza in a cup and drink a bucket each. I think the thought was you would share it, but where we were, it's like we always like a bucket each. No, no, no. I'm gonna go watch The Jerk eat pizza in a cup and drink a bucket of beer. And you're like, it's not a six pack, it was only five beers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel bad. I don't know how they came up with that number. It was always weird to me that it was five. I assumed it was. I think it was probably to save one beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, That's right. That's where they made their money. That's funny. I hadn't thought about that in years I don't know why it popped into my head that bar that I went to on Saturday night where I was talking to it's actually cool It's called lovebirds and oh lovebirds is cool. It's awesome Yeah, beautiful, and they had a huge mocktail list which I was excited about yeah, you know And they had they do the thing that I like Which I can't order a mocktail on a menu if there is an alcohol version of the same drink with the same name It's impossible. You can't do it. They're gonna mess it up.

You're just asking, yeah, asking to break your sobriety. So they have individually named ones, but I was surprised because I was at a party for Emily and there were a bunch of different people there and I was just kind of hanging out by the bar and I was surprised by how many people don't drink anymore. It's like a ton of people. I saw probably seven or eight people getting mocktails. Gen Z's ruining the liquor industry yeah yeah really really have you seen have we talked about it on this podcast I'm doesn't know anyone who's Gen Z what are you talking about right I don't know if we talked if I've talked to you about it

all if we talk about this podcast but I tell you about the mocktail only bar that's downtown no I forget what it's. Micah told me about Micah from Stinky Dragon. Yeah. Told me about it. Nice plug. It's uh, yeah, gotta work on it. Work on the Eric thing there. It's like Congress and 10th or 11th.

There's a bar that only serves mocktails, but they're only open Fridays. Like Fridays from like 6 p.m. to midnight or something. I've heard of this place. Yeah. Alright, it's a Congress in 10th or 11th. What used to be there? Like what did it occupy? I haven't been there.

So I don't know exactly where it is. That's why I'm vague about where it is. Sounds like a little city. Yeah, where the little city used to be or something. Maybe where the quiz, no, further north of where the quiz notes was. Maybe the 7th or 8th. Rest in peace, Quiznos. But yeah, I guess it's, so they only have Mark Kelsey.

You don't have to worry about getting like an alcohol drink by accident, but the whole like only open one night a week for a couple hours is killing. I mean, how can you do that? We talked about, I think we've talked about it on this before, like previously, or maybe it was just off mic, but the like,

the millennial, like we're open Tuesdays from 12 to three and Thursdays from seven to nine p.m. And that's it. Come to our storefront. What the fuck are you doing? It's 10th and Congress and it's called Sands Bar. And yeah, it's open Fridays from six p.m. to midnight. Well, that is clearly a passion project or an experiment

and not something designed to make a living for somebody. Is it also a vegan place? No, that's all it is. All right, yeah. Hey, man. Hey, I let me be the first to apologize. It's a it's by where the quiznos used to be. OK, is it still a quiz? I think quiznos is still there. It's still quiznos. Yeah, there's still a quiznos. People downtown have to eat somewhere. I welcome your country. Is is Ben King's Chipotle still there?

That Chipotle is always a banger business. I can't imagine they'd be gone. I can't either I haven't been that I've been down Congress on a very long time There's no it's still there. There's no reason. This is a by the way, we should mention the audience We're doing a throwback episode. This is a sit-and-talk at a coffee shop episode. It's rainy because of shitty weather. That's a big cookie salt All direct so throwback Gus is eating on my hang on hang on pull that out again You're like the other y'all show up early. I have to cut there's the salt is only in the middle Center salt

It's like me That's not the core salt to the core. Yeah, it's sinner salt. That's not the core, that's the top middle. Oh, don't start. It's pretty core. We've been having table discussions of work that are maddening, just maddening. Hey, if you're listening to this,

how do you think we're situated? Yeah, where are we in your mind table right now? We asked Andrew, by the time this comes out, it's so in the past, but who cares? We were like, oh yeah, what is it like in your head? Like, what does it look like? How we're all gathered around the table. And then he described it and Gavin drew it.

And then he got mad at Gavin for like how he drew it, like where all the positions were. And the changes that he made were just like move Eric slightly. It was like the positioning was still the same. It was just like nudge him to the right. Yeah. It was that. Yeah. It was that pedantic. It was so it was so insane. But now it got a lot of people going like, oh, yeah,

this is actually how I picture it. It's like, OK, thanks. But I've seen some drawings. It's like, OK, they've been really good. Some of them have been very funny funny I like ones that are just like I'm sitting directly in the middle and everyone's talking at me it's like I see you're the salt right in the middle but we are sitting because it is it's terrible it's raining weather it's cold and wet and after being 86 on Saturday, like two days ago, like what the fuck?

That's February 9th. It was swimming weather. What's funny to me is I remember on that day, you know, it started getting warm. It was in the 80s there for a little while, like late January, early February. And everyone was like, oh, that's it, winter's over. It's like, oh man, y'all don't remember.

No clue. And this four years ago, 2021, that's what happened. It was like a warm into January and then February 14th, the whole state froze over for like a week. Mm-hmm. It's balanced. Yeah, I'm not, we're not gonna do it until March. Yeah, it's, I had to, like Jeff was mentioning,

my cousin, she just moved here and I had to explain to her when she was here with her dad on Friday, she's like, oh my God, the weather's so warm. And then Saturday, she's like, this is awesome. Like spring is already here. And I went, explain to her when she was here with her dad on Friday. She's like, oh, my God, the weather's so warm. And then Saturday, she's like, this is awesome. Like spring is already here. And I went, it's not. Welcome to this is nice. Welcome to Austin. No, I can't. Yeah. And then I helped her move in on Monday and it was 55 degrees out.

And she just went, I don't know what happened. And then I think tomorrow's going to be like 89. And then the next day is back to like 89. Yep, yep. And then the next day it's back to like 55 or something. It's insane. It's crazy. It's like God spins a weather wheel. What are you losers in for today? Let's find out.

It's a, yeah. Spin that second wheel. This one has landed on, it just as locusts You know what I haven't Jin Z daughter she counts She's been going to a lot of raves lately, which I think is weird because she's not Yeah, no, no, because I'm not doing that. Everyone does ketamine. It's like, this sucks. The, there's a weird like recreational movement to like, yeah, I don't drink, but I am doing ketamine.

It's like, oh, that's a, dude, you're like maybe like an insane person, I think. You can buy Kratom sodas at the gas station in Austin now. Yeah. That's a big one too. Remember when you had to like, like you had a friend who would only smoke, maybe you guys didn't experience this. You had a friend that would only smoke like synthetic,

like K2 synthetic weed and it's like, you shouldn't do this. There was a terrible run of that in Austin for a while, like 10 years ago. Oh really? Like people, like they got out of hand and people were dying like crazy from that K2. It was all like around Red River. It was like

That would be where it would be. Yeah, because it was like, that stuff was fucking vile and this was like right when California had like medical legal weed but like not like you couldn't find it anywhere or whatever. So there would be all like, I used to live by like this little pop-up shop in Anaheim that was like right sort of like, if like the house was here, it's like right next, almost like next door to the house, but like across the street.

And it would just be blacked out windows and my roommate would go in and buy, he's like come back with like just the shittiest weed and like, oh, I also got this stuff and it's like spice, like K2 and I'm like, well, that's, let's not, well, throw that somewhere else. Like that's scary.

That shit's scary. We should, we should probably say we are, where we are? Yeah. In relation to Austin. We are in Austin. More specifically, we are on East 7th Street, I guess just east of the Tillerie Street Bridge at a place called Texas Coffee Traders,

which has had other locations before. I don't know if this is, if they've moved. I saw a thing that said that they had moved here. Okay, so Texas Coffee Traders, I think, is related to like the coffee ro here. Okay. So Texas coffee traders, I think is related to like the coffee roaster. And I think the roastery or something is like around here on the back or something. But this spot's like new.

I used to get my haircut at Wyatt's just like a block over. And then my barber is actually just a block over from on like the other side. You're gonna get your haircut after this? No, I'm good. And so I'm really familiar just later like with this area and we're right next to kind of tropical. Yeah, that's true.

And we're next to the J&F Carpet Sale building, which I have loved the entire time I've lived in Austin if it ever goes on sale and I can afford it, I wanna buy it. I'd say it's a cool building. It is, man. That's a rundown building. Since we got here, I've been trying to figure out,

I ate dinner here with a bunch of friends three years ago and I have no memory not only what the restaurant was but even what kind of food it was. We sat right there. I remember sitting right there in a long table. It wasn't coffee. No, it was a nice restaurant. Something boss or it was some kind of like work. Oh, the office was over that way. It was two McCails for a long time, I think. Oh yeah, I remember that place. Way, way back in the day. Yeah, yeah.

What in this used to be? Anyway, it's, I mean. It's this now. It's a nice little coffee shop on the inside. Where were they before? I was thinking of this, when I hear the name, I've never been to this country. I was thinking of like Brecker Woods

over there with Jefferson or something. This place, Texas Comiches? Yeah, am I remembering wrong name, I've never been to Texas Coffee Shops, I was thinking like Brecker Woods over there, Jefferson or something. This place, Texas Coffee Shops? Yeah, am I wrong? I feel like it was over on like third over by the Yellow Bike Project maybe, or somewhere around there. In like a warehouse kind of. Yeah, I mean there.

The place used to be. I mean yeah, there are mugs that's established in 1994. I feel kind of ashamed I've never been here. I've been to the other one, the one I'm pointing at. I think they have a little window. Oh, Texas coffee. Oh yeah. I think they had a little,

I think they were in a different spot and then they moved. Yeah, they have like a big thing on their website that's like, they were in a different place now. So it's, I love this location. This is a part, I really like this stretch of like seventh or fifth or Cesar Chavez, like from almost like specifically here, east to 183.

It all just kind of like converges. I really like it. I just really like this area. This is the best part of Boston to me. I love it. It's my absolute favorite part of Boston. Yeah, it's, I think it's just it's cool. It's really coming up in terms of I liked it before they started building you know these taller black brothers or whatever but it's like

restaurants, coffee, get my haircut, it kind of like cruise up and down. It's just easy to get around. Can I complain about something? Please, while we're here. You see that Paz vet over there? Yeah. That's a low, I don't know if they're local or not, but they have multiple locations around Austin Paz. Paz is the name of the company that used to sell the Easter egg dyes

when I was a kid and make Easter eggs. And every time I see that sign, I'm like, why the fuck is it Easter eggs? It was Paz, wasn't it? P-A-W-S. PAZ. PAZ. Was it? Yeah. It's PAZ. It means peace. I'm almost positive. It does mean peace Hang on. I was like pause, but I mean I can't remember it's been 35. He aas

Oh, is that out spell? Yeah that there you go There you go diffused yeah Pause you live another day. Good for them. So I take my dog, not to this one, but I honestly, I didn't know this one was here. I might take him to this one. Everywhere I take my everywhere is because Emily cuts somebody's hair.

So I take my dog to the place where Emily cuts the vet's hair. Which is not pause. Or P-A-A-S. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's a, it's like a local vet. It's great. Like they're fantastic. There's one here. I think there's one down on Lake Caesar Chavez. There's one way out west where I had to get like a I had to get like a dog

MRI for his brain or whatever and then there's one in like a little north and one northwest. Yeah, they're all over the place. You ever eaten at a Freddy's? No, I've seen it. I've passed it all the time. I've never been to one. It's a place for 100% eat that's always on the short list, but we never want to drive to like Flugerville to go get it. I ate there for the first time the other day.

I bring this up because we're talking about dog stuff. Which location? You mind? Well, I'm gonna get there. Okay, okay. Albert has to get allergy shots now. So I have to administer them. Two allergy shots every three days for the next year. Okay, right.

And so I had to go and get all these vials at the allergy shot place and it's up in Round Rock. And but it's this weird just off the 35. There's just west of 35. But you get off and you're immediately in a roundabout. And then if you like you pop out of the roundabout and then you are at the the allergen dog allergist But then when you pop out you basically have to go through a Freddy's parking lot to get back to 35 It's really weird the way the circle is smart and so Emily and I were like, oh, it's just fucking eat a burger here So I got a hot dog

Perfect delivery she got a burger good and They when you're ordering it, they were just like, I'll take a chili cheese dog and they're like, okay, do you want onions? And I go, yeah, of course. And then she goes, I'll take a cheeseburger and they go, do you want onions? And she goes, yeah, of course. And then Eric's laughing because he knows the story.

Then we just pulled over into the parking lot and we ate our burger and hot dog. And then we drove home and we went into the house or whatever, put the dog away, did some stuff. Had to get back in the car like an hour later and the car smelled so intensely of onions You couldn't drive around in it. We had to roll the windows down. We had to try to air it out Yeah, we like for breeze. We did dog pets like dog smell stuff pet odor eliminator and The long story short that's been told over regulation is we spent four days trying to air the car out and it's still wow to this day still smells a little bit like onion i've never experienced anything like this in my life it was like if you ever want to fuck somebody's

world up some diced onions and just put them in like a little onion like a little boat you know like a hot dog tray and just stick it under their car seat, like grumpy old men with the fish style, it will ruin their month. I don't understand, like, when you looked at it, were you just like, holy shit, this is like an insane amount of onions? Emily said, that's a lot of onions. It didn't look like a lot to me on my hot dog,

but I like a lot of onions. But I think these are potent onions. Like, we're gonna try to recreate it with regulation. Oh, yeah, here's the back half of the idea. Here's what here's what he's driving at now. He's like, well, we got most of the smell out. What if we do it again and then we like see. Yeah. And then see what we can do to get the smell out.

And also see if we can recreate it. Like, was it a one time thing or the onion so insane at that place? Sure, they're so insane. I'm sure it's gonna come back. Yeah, and I know it's gonna suck and it's gonna ruin my car for a little while, but I'll get past it and it'll be great content. What did your wife say when you told her your idea? She wasn't into it. She said that's a terrible idea. Because she just went through the same thing. Yeah, you know.

It was hell. So we're gonna re-sign it. We pop the trunk and, or the hatchback, and rolled down all windows on Sunday and let the car sit like that from 9 a.m. until like 8 p.m. And it's still. And even for Breeze didn't do it. I feel like for Breeze. Even for Breeze, the next day we got in a row like,

oh fuck, this can't be real. Like we had, we went and vacuumed under the seats and stuff just in case there were hidden onions. We can find, yeah. Hidden onions. I just, I can't imagine. It's like that many onions or they were that strong? Dude, I don't know, but we gotta find out. It can't be an isolated incident.

I would love to see how many onions were in this. Yeah. We need to take it off. It didn't seem like, it didn't arise to the take a photo level. We need to do this. Yeah. We need to take enough. It didn't seem like it didn't arise to the take a photo level. We need to do this. And then a couple days later, we need Gus to determine if it's still smells like.

Do you want to be our, our, our, our. I can be a nose. Yeah. Yeah, a pinch nose. Gus has to be the onion arbiter. It's pretty good. Well, we're going to go, I think next Monday, and we got to go open our 300th checking account for the business. That sounds fun.

Yeah, we had to reincorporate. Hey, going back to like season one where we just talked about what it's like to start these businesses. We had to reincorporate and do like all like this other business stuff. And that's fine. It just costs money. And then you have to like, okay, this business checking account can't be the same as the other one.

And all this, and it's like, okay. Well, then it's just like, once you make it, the accountants handle it all. Yeah. You just have to go through the painful process of like getting it all set up. And then I'm sure you guys didn't go through this, but when you have like,

when there's like a certain percent of ownership in this thing, you all have to be there to open the account. And it's like, okay, so yeah, so it's like, we can't just go and like have one person go like, I'm just gonna open this thing and we'll just get it done. It's like, okay, what day are we all available? And then instead of getting an answer for that, everyone starts doing a bit when it's like,

trying to get an answer. And it's like, I think I'll just like jump off cliff. I think it's better. And then after like, and this through no of his own, but then after like 20 minutes of trying to wrangle Gavin and going through the whole thing, Nick pops in and goes, I have to take Archie to something. Yeah, I was on point with city.

He's got a real reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a- So you need everyone or you need how many percent? You need everybody. If for the company, if the owners own at least 25% of the company, then everyone must be present for the creation of the account.

If you own less than 25%, you don't. So regulation company- So we don't run into that. Regulation company wasn't a problem, regulation management, it's a problem. It's because it's due to, okay, we all started LLCs because it's just, here's what we do, we're just gonna start a company

and now we have limited liability, great, we just started it. And then you talk to the accountants and they go, this is great to start, you need to be an S-Corp. And you go, okay. And so you start doing all this revision stuff, then you revise it and they go, great, you did it. So you need to open another banking account.

You go, ah, I'm in hell. And it's all just because of the Canada. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, with us, we're lucky, there's seven of us. Yeah, so you just send Ben and then it gets done. Yeah, problem solved. Season one of this show, or I guess like the good morning Gustavo, the first eight episodes of the reboot, whatever.

Volume one. Those are coming out now. By the time this is out, they're all out and you're listening to this now, but it's been pretty well received. How do you guys feel about that? I cannot look at my Apple watch the same way again. Do y'all wear your watch to sleep? No, okay I have mine set up and when it goes off in the morning my when my alarm goes off in the morning

Not my phone that goes off my watch starts buzzing and I have to hit like stop to like turn off the alarm Yeah, I watch and I hit stop and then the screen pops up and it says good morning Gustavo. So it's a it's a it's changed the way I look at my watch every morning. It's not in the best mood when I when my alarm goes off. I understand. OK, podcasting. That's why you relate to calm down from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You all woke up fired up. I was shot out of a cannon. Yeah. But like people are into it.

People are glad that you decided to come back for that reboot run of it. And it was really fun. I feel like we made like a lot of really fun changes to the show, too. The walk and talk stuff has been really cool. Yeah. Wish we were doing it today. Yeah, really. A little more of the area. Yeah. Talk about it.

You know what it kind of reminds me of? And for no reason, like it it not necessarily working toward anything, but just the vibe of it is when Gus moved to Puerto Rico. Uh huh. He was living with me at the time before you moved, I believe. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For like the last couple of last couple of months. And he was going to go move with, you know, live with his mom and step out in Puerto Rico for like a year and a half or two years

or whatever your tour was. And before he left, at this time I was actually vegan. I had been vegan for a little bit and Gus, Gus was like, listen, I'm gonna leave, I'm leaving Austin in like a month and I want to enjoy all of my favorite places one more time and I want to do it with you and don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up for me. So I was like, yeah, OK, no problem. So I stopped being a vegan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eat a bunch of bacon and food. And but we did this tour of Austin where we just went to all of our favorite spots and kind of like enjoyed them one more time together. And I feel that vibe from this podcast in the best way. You know, yeah, it really is nice. It's one because I think you people typically will take for granted their favorite spots, right? It's like, oh, yeah, that place like I go every now. Yeah, you know, yeah, really is nice. It's one because I think you people typically will take for granted their favorite spots, right? It's like, oh, yeah,

that place like I go every now and then be like, you know, it's a good spot. You know, it's your favorite spot. But you don't necessarily go all the time like to then to have like, all favorites back to back is like a fun way to do things. Yeah, let me let me ask you a question right now. If I say just off top of your head, and it can be anything, probably food or coffee related, but it doesn't have to be. What is your favorite spot in Austin right now?

Right now, I think perpetually, my favorite spot in Austin is Mayfield Park. Okay, really? Because it's like quiet, off the beaten path, and just like a chill place to hang out. Yeah. Interesting. That's a great answer. How about you, Eric?

I don't know. It might be the baseball field where I go play baseball with friends. I think that's like legitimately my favorite. We got it all worked out to, we get there and do our thing and have fun. And I think it's like legitimately my favorite place to go in Austin, which isn't a very Austin thing probably,

but I love it. I love going to this baseball park where we, it's where we hit, where you hit Dingers the first time. It's just start putting them over the fence and we had to dig through. That was a fun day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably my favorite place. What's your favorite place? the first time. They just started putting them over the fence and we had to dig through. That was a fun day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably my favorite place.

What's your... what's yours? I think of Torn. The first thing that comes to mind is Descada Tacos. The taco trailer. I just really like them. But when I think of Austin, it's just the first thing. But I'd say probably Towne Lake is where I spend... Oh, interesting. ...the trail. It's probably where I spend most of my free time.

And so... Huh. I like that place a lot. Like I try to enjoy it almost every day if I can. Yeah. Yeah, not today obviously. It's a little harder when the weather's like this, but the weather doesn't feel like it's like this very much. It's not that often, yeah. Right?

I remember, and it could just be memories wrong, memories fucked up. But I remember for some reason, whenever I would think of winter in Austin, when I was younger, this is what I always remember. Like it would just be like kind of overcast and rainy off and on for a month or two and that was it. You know, looking back historically,

I'm sure that wasn't accurate. But for some reason in my mind, when I think of like winter in Austin, this is what I always think of. It's like this right here, what we're sitting in. Huh. It's gloomy, but in a way that I like, just means you can't go outside and play.

Like that's all it is. But I don't mind when it's like cold, brisk cold like this instead of like 34 degrees or whatever. I'd much rather have this. Well, it's not terrible. I mean, it's 53, like it's not terrible, it's 53, like it's cold but it's not like brutal. Yeah, it's like a Michigan summer, right?

Yeah. It's also, it would be very unfair of us to complain about it because we get this for like three weeks throughout four, like three months. Yeah, yeah. And you rolled the dice and you hope that the wheel doesn't land on ice apocalypse. Yeah.

You don't end up stuck in your house with no power. Jesus that was crazy. It did it snowed One time this year and it was so brief. Yeah, and then it was just gone. Is that That's just crazy that it did because I would say the first 12 years I lived here. It snowed once. Yeah, it was like super rare And what's crazy to me is the people I see like in the Austin subreddit like oh Are we gonna get more snow? I missed the snow. I wish it was more snow. Fuck you Wish it here we're gonna get destroyed. Yeah, we're not built for this It's like in Houston when it snowed and they went like hey, please don't drip your faucets. We can't handle

Yeah, you doing that you're gonna it's gonna fuck up the water pressure everywhere Like see the mayor when they're late. What is your plan? Yeah It's gonna melt. Yeah, we're gonna let the snow melt what we don't have anything else Wait, what can you we don't want to prepare for this? No, it's not that's not what you're built for down there That's just not what it is. I was living in Houston It's when I my my year in college in of 97, and they had a brutal ice storm back then. And I remember it was the same kind of thing that always happens here, where it was like, it rained and then it froze and then it snowed and everything was just like covered in ice. And I

remember when it finally started thawing, all the ice on the skyscrapers downtown started falling off in huge sheets. So they had to tell people like, don't walk downtown because you might die. Oh my God. I want to say like three weeks after I moved to Austin, moved back to Austin after I came back out of the army, there was a ice storm. So this would have been like 98, maybe late 98. And I remember watching the local news

and I had just moved from New Jersey where we deal with ice and snow all the time. And there was just like a little bit of ice so it didn't even affect me at the time. And I watched the news, there were 700 accidents. I was thinking like, how's it possible it has 700 accidents? What do you do?

You just get in your car and you just hit the road and start screaming? Like what do you? It's like the correct general direction. Like you can get there eventually. I got, it's like, it's 1998. You're just like just like I gotta get to casino El Camino I don't walk it's cold but put my car in this condition dude I'm gonna run inside and get another cup of coffee I'm gonna leave that here with you I'll be right

back so the talk shit about Eric come on yeah no no no um yeah with you. I'll be right back. I'll be fast. So it's the talk shit about Eric portion. Come on. No, no, no. Yeah, it'll be all right. But I think I did the same thing maybe around that time. No, it would have been a little later. Where it's like I got in a car when I absolutely should not have and tried to drive on the ice and everything. Yeah.

It was definitely later than next. I remember I drove to Buda one time for Red versus Blue stuff. And I remember getting to Buda, getting to the the office and got what the fuck did I do that? Like I could have died on the way down here, but that's probably God who's in Buda's probably oh five oh six maybe When will we in Buda we were there from oh? When do we start oh three oh three to oh

No, we all right we were in's house for a year and a half. Because we did after... We were downtown in 08. Yeah, that's when it was. Yeah, we were downtown in 08. We moved downtown in 08. I remember that. I do remember that.

Okay. It was, yeah, season five. That's the way I always remember it. Right, just in time for the financial crash. God, we were in Beautiful that long. We were there for five years. It sucked. It's so...

It's a lot of driving. You know, when you go through it in real time, it just feels like life, right? Obviously, time truncates things. But when you go back and you look at those chunks of those, we talked about this previously, on a previous episode about like, what was your favorite era of the company. But those errors were so such large chunks of our life. Just you look back on they're so compressed. Five years is a long fucking time. Five years is the

entire time I was in the army Long time to be in the army and five years was just beautiful Yeah, then we had like seven offices after that it feels like yeah, that's nuts and now like Palpatine. It's back from the grave There's a return. My favorite thing is watching. Looking at the memes and all the stuff people make about its return. My favorite thing is getting asked if we're gonna... Regulation's gonna be a part of it over and over again. That's my least favorite thing is being like at first like, oh, that's kind of cool.

It's coming back. And then be like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's a... There's a reason I was okay with it going away. Which is, by the way, the thing that I knew would be the most annoying and the thing that I've been telling people to get ready for when I knew that this launch was coming. And the thing that I... Is it... It's frustrating, right? Because it comes from such a place of excitement and love, you know? And you're so jazzed for everybody to be so jazzed. And I'm jazzed about, you know, Rishdi coming back too.

But, yeah, it it gets I get a taste of what Rey's life has been like. What's weird to me is like all like the conspiracy theory connection stuff I see people put through put together and like I used I know you saw it too commented also with someone who was like maybe the reason ANMA took so long to come back and it still says copyright Rooster Teeth productions is is it's gonna secretly launch with the new roosterteeth. It's like no no no no Yes, that's what's happening reason. It took so long to come back because it's not a priority. Yeah, we all had businesses We had to start we had to start companies from scratch Companies that will pay us because we're just even went away by the way

Hey, how come the podcast that doesn't make any money hasn't come back yet? Let me see where that is on my priority list. All these people didn't go into stasis. Right. Still needed to go to the doctor.

And it still says your teeth productions on it because none of us made that image. Yeah. Who? And I'm not going to who cares? Nobody's asking me to remake it. Exactly. It's fine. It's fine. It's like the thing that really gets me isn't the people asking,

hey, are they going to go back? People are dumb. They're going to ask. It's fine. The one that gets me is people saying, have they said anything about if they're going to go back? You don't have to ask that to other people. You can have a look. Also, who's gonna know that? Yeah.

No one else is gonna know. Ugh! Well, it's funny, a stinky dragon, when that came out, there was an internal discussion like, oh, should we put out like a statement or something? And it was like, no. No! We don't have to.

But then after seeing everything, it was like, yeah, you all are right. We need to say something. I just was like, no. No. We don't have to. But then after seeing everything, it was like, yeah, you all are right. We need to say something. I just hopped on stream and I just spent all day on stream just answering questions. I thought that was such a good idea. And very politely just.

But what we've started doing too is naming all of our, when we do like our Friday streams and stuff, or anytime we do a live stream, we just name our stream, no, we're not going back to RuneSkies. And then people have to see the title. Yeah, we're doing a race style.

Yeah. Yeah. We gotta start screaming, let's play. And then we're not going back to it. And then we'll have to see the title. Yeah, we're doing a race style. Yeah. Yeah. We got to start screaming Let's Play and then we're good. Yeah. It's it's cool. Have it come back and do their stuff, whatever it's going to be. But it doesn't have anything to do with this show or regulation or anything. I imagine by the time this episode comes out, a lot of that will there have been elucidation on all of that. And there's probably already I would think some of it at

Least announced or in the works, but who knows yeah, cuz we don't yeah When the fuck this is coming out yeah well Seven no this will be out if we if we keep on a run like this this will be out in like April Okay, I think which would be great. Yeah. I was I was picturing like next presidential election. It's just kidding. There's not going to there's not going to be one, buddy. Don't worry about it. It's one of the low key hardest things about doing the kind of production that we do, especially when you do multiple productions where there's bleed over

and you're recording and batch recording in advance. Yeah. Your timeline of events is so wonky. Yep. And you don't want wanna like tip the hat to something, but then you're like, so you gotta try to figure out where this fits on the timeline, but the timeline's constantly shifting too, and then other people's timelines are shifting. I'm sure Rooster Teeth's timeline is gonna shift as well,

so it's just like, trying to match all that shit up. A lot of times when the audience is like, I don't know why they didn't discuss that or talk about it, it's because we recorded it at a weird time where it wasn't germane to what we were talking about, or we don't know, we don't wanna put our foot in our mouth. That's it. I think it's a thing where-

Or steal somebody's thunder. Yes, we don't want, it's not our place to talk about a bunch of these different things because it's not ours to discuss. It's not ours. And then by the time it comes out, everyone's discussing it, and it could be ours to discuss. But when we recorded it in September of last year, it wasn't.

Right. And that's just how that's how this is. And it's also not ours to discuss. I mean, like, Bernie came to me and offered me the opportunity to, you know, participate in the reacquisition of Rooster Teeth. And I said, no, you know, I feel like I've forfeited a lot of that ability to talk about it. Why didn't you ask? Choosing not to participate. He didn't ask me. And I said no, you know, I feel like I've forfeited a lot of that. Yeah. Ability to talk about it.

Why didn't you ask? Not to participate. He asked me. Does he know who you are? Yeah. I think he does to his detriment. I think you were on the list. It was just lower and he was there.

There was a line. It was much lower. Dot, dot, dot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's people you've never heard of, people you never thought he would ask, and then I'm just I'm right here right at the bottom. Good question, Mark. Eric who?

You got the iced coffee on a cold day, which is your prerogative and what you do typically. You got, did you get a regular hot coffee

or did you get a hot Americano? And then I'm on my second cup of coffee, but you guys both got the salted cookie. Oh, you got a cookie too? Yeah. You cooking? Yeah, I cook. How's the cookie?

It was fine. Yeah, it's totally fine. It was like just right down the middle. C plus B minus cookie. Oh yeah? Yeah. But all the salt's on it. In the middle, in the core.

I don't know about the core. The core would be inside. It doesn't matter. It's just like having cookie crisp cereal all over again. salt on it in the middle in the core. I don't know about the core. The core would be inside. It doesn't matter. It's just like having cookie crisp cereal all over again. Breakfast for him with salt. I'm an adult now.

Everyone used to salt your cereal. You'd be like, that's too much salt. I guess. Look at the food pyramid. I'm a little cereal with that salt. I got a chocolate croissant that was good, but it's, you know, like a chocolate croissant. It's got two little chocolate pieces in it, and then it's a chocolate croissant that was good, but it's, you know, like a chocolate croissant. It's got two little chocolate pieces in it and then it's a big croissant.

I'm sure they don't make the big goods here. No, no, no, no. It's not Texas bakery traders. That's right. That's tell them guys. They probably traded coffee. That's the bank. They're traders.

What did you think of the coffee? Solid. Yeah. I mean, not the best cup of coffee, not the worst. I mean, it's good. It's just like, if you think of like, standard cup of coffee, standard Americano, I would say. 7.9 iced coffee, it was good.

Yeah. It was good. Did it have like flavor to it, or was it coffee? It was just coffee. Yeah. Just a cold brew, but it was good. I would come here, you know, seven nine eight right around there.

Yeah, if if I lived around here this place specifically would be like an issue. It's I'll tell you something else is going for it. Yeah, most coffee shops in Austin no longer have this guy seems to have ample parking. There's there's point I rolled right in I was like, oh man, am I gonna have to like park on the street? I rolled right in right into a spot.

It was like oh this rocks. Also not just ample to like park on the street? I rolled right in right into a spot. And it was like, oh, this rocks. Also, not just ample parking, there's a ton of places to sit. We're on a side like back patio with a dozen of like these tables. What appears to be a bar? Like what are, like what? Yeah, that's like a bar.

It's like a bar. And then the inside is like so cozy and warm. It's nice. It's lit really well. That felt like what, when you think of like coffee shop, not the stark white, like what they've become where it's like this very- Like an Apple store? Yeah, where everything's like boxy and white.

And like, this is not, did you notice none of the chairs matched? Yeah. All of the chairs were comfortable chairs, but none of them were the same. It looked like the way my house looked in college, where it was just like, dude, they threw out all these chairs.

Did you believe it? Yeah. All these fucking free chairs. They've got a guest book too, and I signed it. Okay, so you can come to Texas Coffee Traders, and you can see Gus signing the guest book on the inside letting you know that we were here. Yeah, it's dated.

Wow. We're not gonna say what date we recorded this. If you wanna know what date it was, you gotta come to Texas Coffee Traders and see the guest book. Come on down. I put the wrong date on it, I just realized. I didn't know.

Did you really? Yeah, I just realized right now, I gotta go back and correct it. I put yesterday's date on it. You're an idiot. I don't know how I would just click like, oh, I just realized right now I got to go back and correct it. I put yesterday's date on your idiot. I don't know how I just click like, oh, I put the wrong date. That's so funny. This is a great spot and I hope this spawns more stuff.

Like if you are listening to this and you close your eyes and you think of like a cozy coffee shop with like good coffee. This is exactly it. You think of a car was going over the bridge here fast enough and went out of control. They could jump that little berm and then land right here? No, it would go. They would go too fast and shoot right over us and they would go. Yeah. And then they would land perfectly in a spot. I was just looking at it and thinking like, wow, that's you don't really see.

Oh, it's you're talking about a berm. It is. It's just a burp. Like I've driven over that road a bunch of times. You don't see shit coming over like that. It's like a really small like little hill. There's no guardrail. There's no nothing. It's just. Well, luckily it's like the roads are slick today too. So you don't have to worry about it.

Yeah. So I recommend this place too. I think their drip coffee is like a, hey, get it for here and then pour it yourself. They have a whole station, whatever. I got the light wrist and the medium wrist. Both are really good. What were you doing in 1994 when they started

the Texas coffee traders? Yeah, that's what you're talking about. 1994. I was 16 years old that year, so I was still in high school. I was, God, I was probably like, desperately wanting a girlfriend. You know what I mean? If I had to guess.

So yeah, it was definitely still high school. What were you doing in 94? 1994 would have been, I was, I don't want to give away our February date because you gotta go to the fucking the guestbook to see Gus's scribble where he wrote the wrong date and then crossed it out and put the right hand in it.

I'm gonna check something. I think I know exactly what I was doing today. Actually, I'm gonna double check something. I was graduating from journalism school in the army and I was moving to just outside of Austin. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or sorry, Fort Kavazos. Although I read this morning

that in their infinite political wisdom, they wanna rename all the renamed military bases back to the bullshit racist names that they were before. So that's cool. I'm glad they're doing that. Very important. The hard hitting stuff, you know, really getting to the stuff that needs to get fixed. Names, unnaming names that had been renamed.

Yeah, so I would have just been moving to Texas, actually, right now. That's crazy. That's awesome What were you so what were you doing I looked it up and I was off by a little bit but This you said it's a February date It's right before my birthday and I thought it was my 16th birthday where I got a copy of X-wing the PC game Yeah, hell yeah But it was it came out in 93. Ooh.

So it was my 15th birthday before I got that. So I was probably still playing X-Wing at this point. I was probably sitting at my Packard Bell 486 computer. Dude, honestly, me too. That game's so cool. Did you have the stick and everything for it? Yeah, yeah. Me too, it was so, god.

Put the shields forward, put them back. It was like, that's all I ever want from like a Star Wars thing where it's like, oh, yeah, you get to do like this specific thing and it's Star Wars. And then now it's just become like this huge expanded thing where it's like games that don't have to do with anything or the same three fucking movies over and over. And you just go, OK, I don't need this anymore. It's weird how I've outgrown Star Wars in my lifetime to something I wanted so desperately everything to be.

And now I have no care or thought of it whatsoever. Yeah. At all. Well, they've also, I feel like it's, even when we were younger, like the whole thing has pivoted to be much younger skewing. Yes, definitely. Like you look at like a lot of Disney plus shows. Yeah.

But that is from an era of PC games where there's something I do not miss, which like I legally had X-Wing. I legally had that game. Right. But it's like every time you launched the game, it asked you, it showed you like codes. And it's like, you have to look in the manual,

like on page whatever to see like, what planet is this code for? And then at some point I lost the manual. I'll use that manual, the little wheel they give you. You are fucked. So it's like I had, luckily I had played enough of the game by that point. I had like six of the planets memorized.

I would have to launch the game. Be like, okay, I recognize this one. I can type it in. I don't recognize it. Fuck, okay, quit the game, relaunch it. Like hope it's one that I recognize. That's cool. Open the DOS prompt to get that thing booted back up.

Yeah, pretty cool. Are you playing anything right now? Man, I'm still playing factorial space age, which is like, wow, boring, nerdiest thing. It's a great game. It's so good. I can't get enough. Do you play it every day?

Pretty much. Yeah, I played in the last day or two. I need to get back on it. I didn't realize how much Call of Duty I've been playing until last night. This guy's a maniac. I mean, I play a lot of Call of Duty, right? But I was playing with Bernie and Antonio

and Antonio was like, let's look at our stats. Never looked at the stats page. He's like, oh, I got like 6,000 kills. Bernie was like, oh dude, I got 8,000 kills. And I was like, huh, that's cool, let me see. Oh shit, I have 28,000 kills? Oh my God. You're just an elite pro level player.

No, no, no, I got 28,000 kills, 27,000 deaths. Yeah. No, I have a positive KD. I do have a positive KD, but it's just I didn't realize how much I have in play. How many prestigious? I'm on number eight right now. Yeah, and you didn't realize it? Yeah, but it goes so fast.

This guy's a psycho. We came up, did we tell you the idea for the Jeff's smoke grenade idea? I don't think so. I mean, the video's out, so go back and re-watch it or whatever, this was such a good idea. There's a map, the smallest map in the new Call of Duty is called Stakeout, and it's a house. And it's just like, the house is a square,

and you kind of run around the side, and then there's a hole in the middle that you kind of don't go to. And it's like a kitchen on one side, kitchen on the other, hallways, right? So it's just like intense combat constantly. It is every, it's like, it's the new version of what used to be called shoot house. I think everybody loves it. It's all everybody plays.

They have a playlist that's just stakeout 24 seven. That's all I play. And because I played the game so much, I'm learning a lot about the perks and the equipment. And I realized that with a smoke grenade, when you throw a smoke grenade, which nobody throws in the game usually, when you throw a smoke grenade which nobody throws in the game Usually when you throw a smoke grenade in that house you can fog up a room really fast and it lasts an annoyingly long I'm not so long, but you only get like one smoke grenade as your equipment But there's all these different perks and stuff you can turn on so that you can and resupply yourself so you can essentially give yourself four at once and Then if you take it's a 66 map, right?

So if you and everybody on your team all kids your character out like this, and you all have smoke grenades and you can keep resupplying yourself and each other, you can keep the entire map smoked so that nobody can see or play the entire game. It's the coolest idea. It's the dumbest thing.

It's awesome. You just spawn, throw smoke grenades, till somebody kills you. Spawn, throw smoke grenades. If nobody kills you, you jump off the map so you can respawn to throw more smoke grenades. And then it's just like smoke. And just people running around furious.

You are, it's you're playing against, you and your whole team go in with this idea. You are playing against people that do not know what's about to happen. And they run into the room and can't see shit. And then they turn around and now it's smoky and everyone's just blind firing. You're playing a different game.

It's awesome. So you call a smoke out and then you just, yeah. The entire, both sides, both hall out. The whole thing you can smoke. It's so fun. And it never goes away. It is like the only way I want to play Call of Duty. It's so fun.

I loved it. I loved it. Yeah, it's fun. It's throwing smoke grenades and then running in and dying and going, oh, I respond immediately. Throw more smoke grenades. Dude, it's so cool.

I love that shit. I love not playing the game. Exactly. There is nothing better than finding new ways to be a dickhead in video games. Yeah, that's great. Especially for something like Call of Duty. I remember this whole happening, by the way.

Yeah, that's true. Playing the game role. happened, by the way. Yeah, playing the game. Yeah. Essentially what it was. Don't listen to the rules. Don't say how they want you to play the game. Yeah, that's right. Yourself, I'm an independent. Yeah.

I do a podcast and I'm just asking questions. Nothing wrong with that. Uh, we should probably wrap this one up. This is a this has been good. I like getting out to- Cone's ringing. What the fuck, dude? Oh, right.

Yeah, yeah, call him back. This has been great getting to a coffee shop that's a cool coffee shop. Yeah. I really like this spot a lot. I would really recommend this. This place is awesome. This place is really, really cool.

If you're in from out of town, I don't know that I'd recommend this, cause it's not. It's kind of out, like away from stuff. And you're not, unless you're gonna go here and then like hop a block over to like kind of tropical or you know, whatever. There's a barbecue place over here.

You're on your way back to the airport? Yeah, yeah, right. Honestly, that's when you should hop in and like check it out. But if you live in Austin, this is worth your time. I think this spot's- Absolutely. It's a great place to come to work.

Yeah. I might do it. Yeah. I know it's here. It is. This used to be one of like the routes you would take to the airport. Yes.

Before they had like the freeway totally built out. Is this where Gus's used to be? Yeah. This is, yeah. This place was named after you. It was. It was not named after me. We had the same name. I wouldn't say the same name. Yeah. Yeah place was named after you. It was. It was not named after me. We had the same name. I would have said named after me.

Yeah. Yeah, whatever. Did you ever come here? No. I never did either. When it was Gus's. I never did. I get enough of you.

We didn't talk about it, but Flitch Coffee is just on the backside of this too. Yeah. And we'd been there. I think we went there for an episode. It's one of my favorite. That's one of my favorite places, too. Just that little area. It's a great little outdoor and really pretty. A little viejo tacos. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of my favorite. That's one of my favorite places. Yeah, it's a great little outdoor and really pretty.

It's yeah. Yeah, it's really cool. And then this is a great little spot. I really recommend it. Yeah. Yeah, this is a good one. This was fun. I like that we're getting to this season a little bit quicker than we were the first time. But we saw but this episode two. So we have six more to determine if we are going to. Yes, sir. Are we still doing that? Oh, yeah, we should absolutely still do. Are we are we still doing but there's episode two. So we have six more to determine if we are going to. Yes, sir. Are we still doing that?

Oh, yeah, we should absolutely still do. Are we are we still doing that, Jeff? We should. OK. You know, got to create some tension. Yeah. Create some moonlighting at the at the end of it. If you don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. And give ourselves an easy out. Yeah, right.

At the end of the last episode, we will all say whether we want to continue this podcast or not. If there is one no, there's no argument. There's no trying to convince anyone. It's just that's it. That's the end of it. And shakes and hugs. And that's, yep.

Well, handshakes at least. We leave happy. And shakes and kisses. Ooh. Uh huh. Uh, but yeah, this has been great. This is a good episode. Uh, a great spot for this and everything.

Any final thoughts, parting words for the people out there? Think for yourself. There you go. We're doing it. Just ask questions. The next six episodes of this are going to be real cool. I got some thoughts. You're going to like Alex Jones or whatever. You're going to be like big and red.

You're just going to get big and red. Bigger and redder 2025. It is fun to watch that guy swell over the years. Austin public access to where he is. And just feel like if you, you can just walk up to him with a little, with a needle. You can just poke him and it'll go,

poof! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like real spurtin' blood. Yeah. Well this has been- Like an overcooked sausage. He's gonna split on his own. Yeah, this has been Good Morning Gustavo and I think that's it.
