We're right by 183. Did you plan this? This episode 183? Did you do... Eric. Did you plan this? This episode 180. Did you do it, Eric? Did you do this? This episode is 35. You said 180. Yeah.

Different show. We're at Radio East and last time, we had Mum Foods, BBQ. And we talked about you guys knowing each other for 25 years, talked about Satanic, Panic, Web rings, Penny Arcade, Stinky Wary, and the March of Technology. But that was all last time. Good morning Gus. Yeah.

I forgot to mention guest books when I talked about how shitty guest books used to be. We should have an animal guest book that you can sign. Did you visit our website? It is. Signed here. God, that's such a good idea. Yeah, well, I should do more with that, anarchymeanything.com.

Is that? Yeah. We should do a 1998 style. That's such a good idea. Yeah, that is such a good idea. I know, because I know, it's gonna sound like we planned this, or something, this is spontaneous. No, that's not gonna do that, actually.

We have like a, like what was before PHP BB? Man, I was like, I don't know, what, that's, I mean, that's what we started with Rister teeth. I don't remember. I guess we could do that. Can we just have a little forum? Yeah, I mean, PHP, we could play time. And a guest book.

That's awesome. Under construction, animated gift. Hey, let me ask you guys a question. Is this the first place we've been a repeat customer of? Like, because we did the other radio, right? We did the other one, yes. So we've done two of the establishment. They haven't many others, we've done that.

Epic. That's right, we did two epics. You're right, so that was the first. Like, was there another? No. Have we done Hounds tooth yet? There's 1,000 of us. We did, we did one of them, but we haven't done one.

Okay. Uh, no, but we're at Radio East, and this is a place you guys have never fucking been before. This is an East. What are you talking about? We're by the airport. Yeah. It is about as East as it gets. I mean, nobody in here in a different city.

I feel like nobody in Austin would look at this on the map and go like, yeah, that's East Austin. Yeah. We, that's a fucking no man's land. Where the fuck are they? It's like in the middle of a bunch of industrial parks, like just warehouses. I see white cap construction and safety supplies, I think calendar club used to be down the road from here a little bit.

How's it about to say, have you lived in Austin in the 90s and early 2000s, and you had a part-time job, calendar club is right there, you remember it. That's where you worked. It's a, like Jeff said, this was a no-man's land for a long time, just a bunch of industrial parks. Our service used to be hosted not too far, a little up the road from here, the call center used to be a little down the road, but, I said, this was a no-man's land for a long time, just a bunch of industrial parks. Our service is to be hosted not too far, a little up the road from here.

The call center is to be a little down the road, but I mean, it's really, there's nothing to do, or there was nothing to do out here. That's why it's so strange to see radio east. There were three things over here, right? That was a McDonald's, still is. There was happy taco. Yeah.

And then there was the post office. And those are the three things to do on the rolls. And I think we may have mentioned this before. That is the most intimidating looking post office in the world. It is just like pure government brutalist architecture. There was nothing. I mean, it is people aren't nice, people reflect the architecture.

Yeah, it's a, it's really a testament to government work. It's amazing. It's still open. Hey, I, uh, so I was a, Did they move them McDonald's? I'm sorry to interrupt you. It's amazing, it's still open. Hey, I, so I was, Did they move them McDonald's? I'm sorry to interrupt you. No, I think it's still there. No, no, but like they moved it,

because they moved burlison or draw it. They moved burlison, so they used to intersect with Ben White a little differently, and then they moved the street, so like it used to cross over, and then they moved where it intersected Ben White like down a little bit, because it used to be a really

a much more dangerous intersection. Yeah, it was pretty, we'll have to drive over and look at that after this. I don't remember. I was listening to an old episode the other day, which I never, ever do. I never listen to myself in content.

Don't look back. Yeah, I hate it. I start to second, like most people do. I start to second guess my own career when I hear myself talk and I hear things that I say that sounded funnier and insightful, and then I hear me say them and they sound stupid and weak. Yeah. So I tend to avoid it, but for whatever reason

I wanted to listen to this, and so I put on an episode the other day, it just happened to be the one where we were on South first. I don't remember the name of the coffee shop once over, or once... Like the one we did the other day like a couple weeks ago Yeah, right by the water. Yeah, where we yeah that episode we were eating sticky buns at the beginning the little Do you remember you had the day? I'm 50% off. Yeah, I now because of that promise. I will never eat on camera

Oh, wow you again for the rest of my life into it and you said this is too much. I hated it I the first like five minutes. It was fine after we finished, but I like oh I get it I'm so sorry I was so stubborn about that for so many years, but I finally grossed myself out Okay, I can't ever let's like when I said I'm gonna I'm gonna destroy this taco before I pick up the microphone We had there's a very grease taco truck here. We all got a taco Still the best tacos in Austin so good. So love. That megas poblanas taco is so fucking good. It's so their green sauce is so good. Their red sauce is scary. It's great.

Not so it's great. They have an L traditional, which is like bean and cheese and egg and bacon. And let me tell you something man, their need to eggs and refried beans need to go together more. So good. Such a great combination. What the fuck were you guys talking about at length walking away from the varicrews? Oh! Jesus Christ! Like I was, I was near the conversation, didn't know where it started, couldn't find the edge to get in. The way it worked when we ordered the tacos, we all walked up there, well first we ordered

the coffee, the taco trucks outside, and I asked Eric if you wanted the taco because I was gonna go get them. And then Eric said he would just come with us and so all three of us went. And then the way it played out was Eric walked up to order first, then Jeff ordered and I ordered third. As you were paying, Jeff asked me,

why didn't you order in Spanish? Because in the past, other times we'll go to like a taco truck, I will order in Spanish. Well, I also feel like if you order in Spanish at that place, you're gonna like, you're gonna level up your food a little bit, you know? And you ended up with an onion you didn't want. Yeah, there was a straight onion.

Instead of, you gotta fucking, you gotta an errands onion. So Jeff asked me why didn't I order in Spanish? Why did I order in English? And then that's where we started, that was the jumping off point. I said, since I was third, I felt like the transaction was already established as an english transaction so i didn't want to disrupt the flight and if i had been the first

to order i probably would have ordered in spanish and then you all could have changed it these are so atleast as someone who's not by a lingual i just find these these moments so interesting when you have to you make a decision about how you're going to navigate a situation like that language wise and guss was also saying that he gets tripped up sometimes because do you say breakfast taco in english and then or because that's what it's like that language wise. And Gus was also saying that he gets tripped up sometimes because do you say breakfast taco in English and then, because that's what it's like?

And then order in Spanish or do you, because there's not like breakfast taco is a phrase in Spanish. It's not a thing. What do you mean? Breakfast tacos are like a Texas thing or like a Tex-Mex thing. I don't think you get breakfast tacos in Mexico.

It's just eggs and stuff in a taco. Right, but the phrase, the dish breakfast taco is not a thing. So sayos in Mexico. It's just eggs and stuff in a taco. Right, but the phrase, the dish, breakfast taco, is not a thing. So say it in Spanish. It would be like, un taco de almuerzo. But which is not a thing. Right.

I see. I see. So he's like, do I say breakfast taco in English and then order in Spanish? Or do I convert that part? Right. And it's just like, I get it. It's got to be culturally confusing

because you want a taco for breakfast. With potato, and cheese. Cone. Yeah. And it's just, I get it, it's gotta be culturally confusing because you want a taco for breakfast. With potato and cheese. Cone. Yeah. So it's just like lots of things like that. And then I was telling him that we continued, I swear this podcast is not a stinky dragon promotion podcast, but. I'm okay with this.

I like that shit. Sometimes like when Michael writes to tell someone a stinky dragon, he draws a lot of names from other languages. So sometimes there's like German, French, Spanish, and then when we're recording lots of times, if there are Spanish names, I'll get tripped up because then mentally it's like, do I commit to pronouncing this in Spanish or do I pronounce it in English with a Spanish accent?

And then my brain splits the difference sometimes and I'll do 50-50 in one word or in like string awards together and it just comes across super confusing and I end up having to retake it because I'm not consciously thinking about it and I end up just all over the place, and it just comes across super confusing, and I end up having to retake it, because I'm not consciously thinking about it, and I end up just all over the place, fucking it up. Can I ask you a question that I'm genuinely curious about,

and I hope it doesn't come across as insensitive anyway? Ooh, I can't wait. These are the good ones. Do you, if you could only speak in one of those two languages? Which one would you prefer? Like, which language do you like better? English or Spanish? So, it's, it's, well, obviously, we're here in Texas right,

or where we are in Austin. I've got to speak English all the time. You mean like, if I could change the world? Like, if you could just change your environment and just say like, I'm going to speak Spanish and everybody around me speaks Spanish, or I'll speak English and everybody around me speaks English, which is, I'm just curious, I guess which one you prefer?

Like, which one's more fun to say? I don't know. Which one's, because I know sometimes you dream in Spanish, sometimes you dream in English. So like, which one is, I guess, tickles your subconscious? English is way more familiar. I mean, I almost never get a chance to speak Spanish these days. So, I mean, that's going to be like the default go-to. I think, I like, there is some flexibility in Spanish.

I like a bit more that doesn't exist in English. So sometimes I think that it makes more sense, but I mean, I've spoken English 99% of my life. So that's what I'm going to stick with. I feel like a lot of the English language is pedantic, you know. And I don't know how to back that up or give examples. I would say it's because I think it's because English is so... It's a picky little language. It's so cobbled together from other languages. You know, you've got silent letters, you've got multiple words that are spelled identical,

but I'll pronounce differently. I think I feel very fortunate that my parents, you know, when I was really young, my parents first started teaching me Spanish as a first language, then they stopped and they switched me to English, and I'm very thankful that they did that because looking at English, it seems like it would be impossible to try to learn as a second language. Yeah. Like, the rules are not super strict, right? There's always exceptions to rules.

Words aren't always pronounced the way they look. There's so many words that, like I said, are spelled exactly the same and then pronounced different. Right. That's the thing that pisses me off about a lot of Americans who are intransigent about learning or accepting additional languages. The English language is kind of a dog shit language, right?

It's kind of like a patchwork of languages cobbled together that's incredibly difficult to learn that contradicts itself constantly, right? But then like, American, most other languages I think make more sense from just sit down to learn it. And so anybody that speaks a different language like Spanish or German, but also speaks English, they had a way harder road to get to those two languages than any American who's a native English speaker would have trying to jump into a second language. Yet Americans are so fucking bullheaded and stupid about how you should speak their language

and all the other languages are inferior, but really we have the shittiest language. And if anybody took the time to learn English, they're smarter than me because I didn't take the time to learn a second language. I probably couldn't because I'm a fucking dumbass. So anybody that speaks two languages where English is one of them should have, I don't know, should have all the respect in the world. It's, it's, it, it, it, this touches on something I think about a lot.

Like I watch, you know, whenever I watch reality TV or something and you see someone on who's not very articulate or not very eloquent, it's like, man, that must be really frustrating when it's like you have one language and you're confined to that extent. Yes. I think other languages are can also be difficult. You'd like you said, you know, I don't know how easy it is to pick up another language that this latent life. But I started trying to teach myself how to read Korean a few months ago. I learned how to read it

basically in like two weeks and then you can learn pretty much to read anything within like a month just because it's such language wise, it's a very modern language and was built to be learned to read very easily. I don't know what the fuck I'm saying, but I can read it. I can pick up like a Korean newspaper and read it like a little kid reading news paper. Like you could walk around Seoul and get around

just based on reading signs and stuff. Like you have enough familiar. I watched a Korean reality show, a couple weeks ago, a Netflix called Devil's Plan. Yeah. I think you talked about that here. Yeah, and I was very happy with myself because it was like the first time

where I was watching a Korean television show. And as they had like the Kairan song, people's names and occupation, I could read everyone's name and I could read their occupations and I knew what they did. So it helped me remember people's names and occupation, I could read everyone's name and I could read their occupations And I knew what they did So it helped me remember people's names like oh this guy's name is whatever and he's the actor or this woman is a singer and you know That this is her name. I thought that was a really cool experience. That's awesome

Yeah, so if you want to try to learn one to read I'd recommend trying to learn to read create It's it's pretty easy to learn to read do you think there's something to I'd recommend trying to learn to read Korean. It's pretty easy to learn to read. Do you think there's something to certain people just have a knack for it? Or do you think it's just a focus and sort of thing? Like, yes to both. Yeah, I think that there is sort of like a perseverance

where you can get through and like really learn whatever language or whatever. But I have a friend who is living in Japan right now, but he's lived in Korea, he's lived in Africa, he's lived in Colombia, and he's taught English in all these places because he learned Spanish, and he learned Korean, and he learned Japanese, and his first language was Polish,

and his second language was English, and he just has a knack for this stuff. And I wonder if it is like, when you learn two languages so young, if that really helps, because man, I don't think I can learn language right now, I save my life. I think once you have the foundation, like you said, yeah, if you're young and you get that mental flexibility, I think that really helps open your mind up to be more receptive to things like that. Yeah, it's interesting. I do think there's a natural propensity to it. Like,

my ex-wife, she spoke three languages, and she learned French and German in high school and right after high school. And she was really proficient in both of those languages, and I mean, not so much because she didn't keep up with it, but she could sit down and spend like a week paying attention to it and then suddenly be pretty good with it again.

And I guess by watching her, I learned that some people just have a natural ability that other people do not have. She had it in a way that I don't. Millie, she went to a French immersion preschool. Not because I was trying to be like in a super dad or anything, but it was because it was the only preschool that was available.

You love French. Yeah, yeah. French, well, I mean, the idea of Millie picking up a second language was awesome too, but the reality of having a kid, like the way it works in Austin, and I think it works this way

in most other major metropolitan areas, if you wanna put your kid in preschool, you need to sign up for preschool at least three years before you have your kid, because the waiting lists are ridiculous And so I we were able to sneak her into this French immersion school and she did that for 40 years and It was okay with French but has never really displayed an interest or propensity for it since doesn't really remember anything she learned and I know that like Like I was even talking to

Nico about this friend of ours who's French. And he was saying like the way you learn to make the sounds in your mouth at an early age, she will, she'll have an ability that will, she'll always be able to pick up later, like her mouth will be able to form sounds and, and like, tongue movements and stuff that you don't do in English. that'll always like she'll it'll be like riding a bike should be able to pick that up again at any time she wants to but I I watched her take Spanish I watched her go through high school and I just don't think she's the kind of person that has that like they either wants to or has it like her mother did and I just I just think some people are naturally gifted and others aren't well I think you know it's also easy to not learn

another language in the United States. I've been doing that great for almost 40 years. The United States is so big. Yeah. And there's so many English speakers. Like, you know, compared to Europe, where you have much smaller countries, like states here in the United States, like much smaller countries

bordering each other to speak different languages. Like, you're gonna pick up a little bit. You're gonna hear it. Here, it's like, states here in the United States, look much smaller, crutches bordering each other, speak different languages. Like, you're gonna pick up a little bit, you're gonna hear it. Here, it's like, you'll hear Spanish, but even Austin, I feel like, has a very small Spanish-speaking population, especially compared to like San Antonio. So you can live your day-to-day life

and not really hear it all that often. Yeah. So I think it's just a lack of exposure and a lack of, that removes any desire or need to branch out and learn anything else. Well, also it's like even if you travel abroad so my sink keep my chair keeps sinking in the air.

Like I just went to Italy for three weeks or two weeks last spring and Emily learned Duolingo. She learned Italian on Duolingo for a year before we did that. We went to Italy for two weeks. Spook English to everybody the entire time. She learned Italian on do a lingo for a year before we did that We went to Italy for two weeks Spook English to everybody the entire time we were there. She never even had an opportunity It's pretty easy to be insulated as in as an English-speaking American because almost everybody speaks English right and that's the point Almost everybody bothered to learn our language and speaks it as well or damn near as well as people that speak it they were born speaking and speaking every fucking day. I just think Americans should stop being so fucking proud of this. You know what

I mean? It's always the person online that writes a huge essay and at the very bottom they go apologize for my English it's not my first language and it is like the most eloquent written thing you go. Oh, I don't even think I can write like this. It's and it's getting worse. I was you know, there was that Alaska Airlines flight that you know lost the door the other day and I was reading someone that posted about it on Reddit. I was reading it the post this morning and they were they were explaining that the black box the Cop of us recorder had been over written

over our i-2 hours over our idd and yeah i was like oh this is bad like this is someone with like an interest in aviation who's like getting into this and they don't know that's over written they think it's over ridden well dude i mean i'm not trying to get political but we have So that's overridden. They think it's overridden. Well, dude, I mean, I'm not trying to get political, but we have Congress, people, and senators who don't understand the English language and don't understand grammar.

Like we'd, we had every 10 Marjorie Taylor-Greene Twitter's are crucifixions of the English language. Yeah, but she's just like me, baby. But I also wonder, you know, there's that thing that people do on like, which I hate, I also wonder, you know, there's that thing that people do online, which I hate, where they say, you know, if you make mistakes in your subtitling and your captioning or you make spelling mistakes, like it drives engagement.

And it does. Which it does, but that's infuriating, because then it reinforces that. It's, and it drives off the wrong kind of engagement. It does, but when your bottom line is number get big, there's no wrong kind of engagement. It sucks. Number get, I mean, that's what it is.

Yeah, and welcome to Anmod, number stay small. Yeah, good, the small but good, small but good number. Last week before recorded Anmod, I was looking at, there was a stinky dragon social post I was gonna go out a video and And it was submitted to double check the captions and everything, because I do not want to get that kind of engagement. I don't want the bad spelling or the negative engagement.

And I went over that thing with the fine tooth comb. It was like a 55 second video, but I was pausing it every, like every time the captors changed to read everything, like three times to make sure it was all right, because I didn't want to put it out with a mistake, because I didn't want to drive that negative engagement. They also eat all the fucking stupid.

Right. Like how about we just don't look stupid. Right. How about we look competent? Yeah. How about we look competent when we write and speak? The reading three times thing is something that I learned, I wish I'd learned earlier,

but like learned in college, where it's if you can read it three times and you're getting through it and you're not seeing the mistake, then great, then there's probably not a mistake. But if you're seeing it the first, you're not seeing it the first time, but then you see it the second time, you're like, oh shit, oh shit, it like, I don't know why,

it just pays to read three times. Yeah, there was, in fact, there was one frame in that video I was just talking about where the subtitle was, you know, whatever, it was a series of words. Then it went to the next series of words, and I read it, and it was fine, everything's fine. Then I read a second time, I thought, there's something weird here.

So in back, it looked at the previous words, it was like, oh, the last two words from that frame are the same as the first two words on this next frame. And it's like, I didn't see it the first time, but then the second time I was like, oh, that's wrong. I learned in journalism school that there is always a mistake, that there's no such thing as a perfectly written anything. And a journalist or an editor can always find a way to improve.

It was the most frustrating thing going through journalism school. You go through, there's a, like, you go through journalism school in the army, right? And there's a lot of foundational stuff they build up and they build up. And then you get to what's called feats. You go through journalism school in the Army, right? And there's a lot of foundational stuff they build up and they build up and then they get to what's called feets and feets is features when you have to write features. And that's when it gets hard and that's when they start dropping students.

Journalism school in the Army, I think we've talked about this, but it had the second highest suicide rate in the military when I was in behind the air traffic controllers which we've talked about, but it also had the second highest suicide rate in the military when I was in behind the air traffic controllers, which we've talked about, but it also had the second highest drop rate. Like only about 55% of the people I went to journalism

school, graduated. So I never expected to graduate, because I was a C minus student my entire life, and shit was getting hard, and they do this thing where you write your first feature, and then they grade bomb it like you wouldn't believe like they intentionally tried to yes and they do it for the first three right and so I went to journalism school with a woman named D who had already gone through was an army journalist got out worked

in the private sector had some difficulty decided to go back in but she had been out long enough that they made her go through journalism school again and AIT again. And so she was able to give me a lot of pointers and help me out. She got a 60 on the first feats. I got a 25. Yikes. I got the third of 100. Yeah, I got the third highest grade in the class. There were people that got like negative 70.

Negative. There were like I want to say there were maybe 21 people in my class, one person got a D, D got a D on Feats 1. I got a 29, I think this girl, I was friends with name Gina got like a 37 or something, I got a 25. And then the, like maybe 15 of the other 21 people got under zero. I thought the range was zero to a hundred I don't realize or negative

No, they would go into the negatives to just to show you how bad you were to just beat the shit out of you Like it's a lot of what the army is is just like reducing you down to dog shit You know so you can build yourself back up or they can build you back up quote-unquote Yeah, I never thought I was gonna be a journalist because I thought when everybody thought like when feats hits, you're going. And about half of the people left. But anyway, that just triggered that memory Gus talking about.

So do they leave or do they get kicked out? You reclass. Like my best friend in journalism. I don't know what that means. Like is that a voluntary thing or do they? No. So what happens is if you wash out, if you drop out, like my best friend in the army, again, a mic,

who was smart enough to go through journalism school, he had some personal problems in his outside army life that distracted him and he just wasn't able to focus. And so what happens is if you fail out, they, you go back to a recruiter and they go, okay, you're still in the army, you still have a four and a half year commitment, where do you want to go?

And then you figure out what you're going to do next. He became a cartographer, a lot of people went to work in the mail room, some people reclast into infantry, that where do you wanna go? And then you figure out what you're gonna do next. He became a cartographer. A lot of people went to work in the mail room. Some people reclast into the infantry or like supply just all over anywhere. But yeah, when I was, it may not be the case anymore, but when I was in the army,

I think like 58% of the people who went through journalism school passed and the rest had to go do other shit in the army if they didn't make it. Wow, yeah. That's a, yeah, that's a, that's a, that's a brutal. They don't fuck around. They really don't.

And so, yeah, I think I started with 48 people, graduated 21. Do you? Is what I remember. You feel like you learned a lot doing that though, right? An intense amount. Yeah, yeah. I don't remember even now.

I was, you guys were talking about editing and reading over some three times, and I was trying to remember the process with which I marked stuff up. And because I would read it more than three times, and there was like an order you would go through when you were looking for certain things. And it's all gone. All that memory is gone.

And I couldn't do it to save my life now. But yeah, I learned a tremendous amount of stuff that stuck with me while I used it. But yeah, you flushed all that shit down the toilet as soon as you leave. Well, it's been a long time. Yeah. Yeah, I got out there in 1998.

Yeah. So yeah. It's a great year. I don't know how shaving works for you, but I've got really thick coarse facial hair and I cannot use cheap disposable plastic razors. I guess when my facial hair first came in, it was like something I could use.

And, but just as time has gone on, I don't know, I've got a really, it's like sandpaper. So anytime I try to use one of those cheap raisers inevitably, I get cut, I get nicks. It's just not a pleasant experience at all. I really need a good sturdy razor to handle this monstrosity on my face. That's why I think you got to meet Hansen shaving.

Hansen shaving is a family-owned aerospace parts manufacturer that has made parts for the International Space Station and Mars Rover. Now they're bringing precision engineering to your shaving experience. Razor blades are like diving boards, the longer the board, the more wobble. The more wobble, the more nicks, cuts its grapes. A bad shave isn't a blade problem, it's an extension problem. By using aerospace grade CNC machines, Henson makes metal razors that extend just 0.0013 inches, which is less than the thickness of a human hair,

that means a secure and stable blade with a vibration free shave. The Henson Razor works with standard dual-edge blades that give you the old-school shave with the benefits of new school tech. Once you own a Henson Razor, it standard dual-edge blades that give you the old school save with the benefits of new school tech.

Shurping! Shurping! I don't know if you've seen this, the Alamos being an ideate. The Alamos doing like oh yeah Yeah anniversary movies like I think they're starting January, February with They're playing movies that released in 99 so like 25 year anniversary And they're doing I don't remember 99 in 2004

Or some 89 yeah, they're picking like I think like three or four years to do like throwback. They're calling it Alamo Time capsule. And the first one is 99, and it is iron giant and the matrix. And then they also have 94, wow, Jesus Christ. They're showing like Lion King. While they're showing like all this old Disney stuff too, this is great.

I think that like the Time capsule is also showing Rushmore. Yeah. Toy Story 2. That's crazy. I mean, I saw this before recorded last week and I meant to bring it up to tell you all if you're gonna go on a buy any tickets or anything.

I'm going to, I've already like, got to take so few different showies for a few different movies. What are you, what are you gonna get me? I'm not gonna say, oh come on man. All right. There's like a lot of stuff that I wouldn't expect either like election, which is,

I think of the 11 movie now, but when, I think of the love and movie now, but when it came out, it was pretty pan. Yeah, so that's, that's how, Gus is gonna go see Fight Club. You know me, I saw Fight Club by myself when I saw it in the theater. Yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah.

He was the one who was smoking cigarettes in the back and he was nodding and going, that's me. That was Alexander, so elections, a movie that was directed by Alexander Payne, who is actually one of my, I was at the Matthew Bodden Film favorite directors, yeah. Yeah. And is that movie about sleeping with high school students?

Well, no, not really. Isn't like the, I just remember Matthew the guy talking about Reese Witherspoon and saying, her pussy is so wet. Not here to talk about election. I'm here to talk about Alexander Payne. I think she was in high school. So he also, he's directed many movies which are great including the holdovers which just won a couple of

Golden Globes for acting performances for Paul Giamatti and the woman who plays the cook. I can't wait to divine. I don't remember her last name, which I saw a couple of weeks ago. It is, it's a great movie. It's one of those movies you watch and you say they don't make them like that anymore. Like they totally adopt, the movie set in 1971 and they adopted the aesthetic that's like this movie could have come out in 1971. And they really like leaned into it and it's, even the story, you know, nowadays it's like everything's this grandiose story, it's a lot going on. It's, it's a, this sounds like an insult, but it's a small story, which is fine.

It's good. It's a small story that's told really well. It's really like, is the whole universe. Yeah, the whole universe. It's really great character work, I think Paul Jimati and Devine, I'm sorry, I don't remember her last name, both deserve the Golden Globe.

They were fantastic performances. The other lead dominant, I think he's the dominant X, Cessna maybe, he's like his first time acting, I don't know why he didn't get nominated too, he did a great job in his role. I highly recommend it if you're like, if you're really, it's a movie, person's movie. Okay, it's not like, you're gonna go watch a blockbuster

or eat a bunch of popcorn, it's really, it's really just made for like the love of film. Okay, can I recommend something I just started last night that I've immediately fallen in love with? You guys may be well aware of already. Have you guys seen Dark Winds at all? No, I've seen the commercial. It's an AC show, right?

Holy shit, that show is good. Fucking good. And the thing that triggered it about you reminded me, it takes place in the 70s. And so, but it's on like an Indian reservation. So there's a lot of like driving around. It's either a New Mexico or Arizona, because they mentioned Flagstaff a bunch. I think it's on like an Indian reservation. So there's a lot of like driving around, it's either a New Mexico or Arizona because they mention Flagstaff a bunch.

I think it's New Mexico, but they're drive around the desert a lot. And so there's a lot of like GMC Jimmy's and like El Camino, well, Camino not for the desert, but like just old 70s period cars that are so fun to watch. And it's so easy to get like sucked in to that time, I guess, because they do such a good job of displaying it.

But also, it's a phenomenal show. And you should watch. It's kind of like- But for two seasons now, right? I think it just got picked up for season three. Season one and two are out. It was actually very difficult to watch. It said it was available on Amazon Prime

if I bought AMC Plus through it. So I did. And they only had season two available. It just said season one unavailable for some reason. So I had to cancel that and then go over, right? And the only reason I started watching it there is because I watched the first episode for free on like Paramount Plus or somewhere else,

but it didn't have more available. And so then I just had to download AMC plus and then buy it by AMC Plus so I could watch it, which I guess I should have done from the beginning. Yeah. I just like, my buddies told me about it, like they watched on Amazon. So I was like, yeah, I'll just figure it out that way. But anyway, it's really, really, really, really, really good. It's kind of a kind of like supernatural twin, peaky a little bit, but darker and less the silly at all, windier, a lot of yeah, it's really,

it's really, really good. I'm only two episodes in, so I don't know. So far, so good. So far, so good. There was a, I hear it gets better. There was a joke, I know, I mentioned this all the time, do you guys, I'm rewatching all of the episodes of The Simpsons, I'm on Lexi's in 30 right now.

There was a joke a couple episodes ago where like they're talking to some network executive and he's talking about how he's like revealed cable TVs, Master Evil Master plan, which is just to fool people into thinking that there are shows that exist, that they could watch, but that don't actually exist. And he's just like royal pains. You know what, have you, do you know anyone

who's ever seen that show? It doesn't exist. And then Homer's like, but it's on like royal pains. You know what, do you know anyone who's ever seen that show? It doesn't exist and then Homer's like, but it's on the USA Network, and he's like, and he says, the USA Network hasn't existed since the 90s. It's just like this illusion of all these shows you've heard of. And when you're talking about Darkwind, it's what it makes you think of. It's a show I'm aware of.

I've seen commercials for it, but I've never seen it and I've never talked to anyone who's ever watched it. There's just so many shows out there. It's easy for stuff to get lost. It watched it. There's just so many shows out there. It's easy to get lost. It really is. That's how I found that actually is we're caught up or through everything that we want to watch right now. With the exception of slow horses,

everybody keeps telling me slow horses is good. We watched the first episode, it was fine, but I just not feeling it, not feeling like watching it right now. And so we were just going through just mindlessly browsing and then finally landed on Dark Wind. So glad I did.

That's one of the reasons I still watch award shows like The Golden Globe, or The Ami's, or whatever. Simmsons won, right? Well, the best anime. What's it on the broadcast if they did? But I tried just to see what's winning awards. Like maybe that's something I can watch. Like that's how I started watching Breaking Bad.

Like I was aware of it. And then I knew like Shannon had a bit role on it. And then I won a bunch of awards. And I was like, oh, maybe I should give Breaking Bad a try and it was like in season two or something. And I was like, oh, it's a really good show. Yeah, there were a bunch of dramatic mini series or whatever that they showed.

And Emily and I were like, we haven't seen any of these. And they all look shitty. Like, are we gonna wanna watch any of these? Yeah, that's a thing. I was seriously, it was like, oh, oh. The only one that looked I were like, we haven't seen any of these and they all look shitty. Like, we didn't want to watch any of them. Yeah, that's the thing. Like, it was seriously, it was like, oh, oh, the only one that looked good was like, oh, Fargo, I forgot, we used to watch Fargo, we try that. But everything else just looked completely uninteresting.

Yeah, so, I don't know. Well, that's, we're spoiled. There's a lot of choice. I think at this point, it is a lot of choice. Yeah, we're spoiled. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we have access to everything, you know, in a way that we didn't use to.

I recently been watching a lot of music videos, like just putting on like a channel that's like, here's just 80s music videos and just like kind of like letting them go. And I remember when that was just, how you did it, that was it. There was someone that worked for that. It was just, you're too.

That was, it was just, this was it. This was someone that worked for that. It was just, you're too. That was it. It was just, this was it. This was the whole thing. Going back to it feels good. And then it starts repeating and you go, I don't wanna see these again. Yeah. I did something similar to the day where Hulu,

I don't know if it's just Hulu or Hulu Plus, but Hulu has these Vivo channels. Yeah. And I popped on one of those and it was just B52s videos. And I forgot how entertaining they were just a watch, you know, uh, what is that song? Oh, the Mercury.

What is that song? What begins of the kiss? Rome. Yeah, Rome. That's it. Can you believe I got that? No, I thought you were talking about the killers, Mr. Brightson. That Rome, that Rome music video is so fun to watch.

It's like nine minutes long. It is, it's very well done. You forget just how entertaining music videos were. There are artists, artists made it. And how much fun they were. Yeah, artists making something. Yeah, that's cool. There was that renaissance of music videos

in like the late 90s. So it was like Spike Jones, Michelle Gondry, like making these like absolutely wild fucking music videos. And I feel like that was like the last hurrah, that was the last gasp. And then like the internet blew up and kind of came along and then it just really wasn't as big of a deal anymore. You know what interesting thing about it too,

is I don't know if this is good or bad, but I listen to a ton of music. You know, we have our little music episodes when Gus takes his fake breaks. And I listen to more music than I ever have, or as much as I ever have. And the death of the music video, even with social media, because I'm not big on social media,

I realize now I don't know what musicians I listen to look like. Yeah. I really, I listen to this lady, Tara Wack. I've never seen her. I'm a huge fan of this guy, Drugdale, I've no clue what he looks like. He's on the music. Because I don't see music videos anymore, you know?

I don't get to see Fred Schneider beltin' it out. It's crazy too. I tweeted about it recently, but like Lady Gaga's like first couple of music videos are shot in standard definition. Yeah, that's a lot. Wow. They're shot in, and it's not like their old is 2010, 2009,

something like that. That's just what it was. That was standard definition was just, that was it. It actually took a long time to take a long. A it was. That was standard definition. That was it. HD took a long time to take a long time. A long time and then we finished. Yeah. It feels like we did HD and then everyone went,

well this will just take us through the end of time, I think. Yeah. That's like when you go back and you watch a movie from 2006 or 2007. Like I think a B-Witched, I saw on TV a while back. And you go, they have four three TVs on set. Like this doesn't feel that's will that's will Ferrell. This doesn't feel like that long ago. It's weird that some of the like that movie is probably shot on film.

Yeah. That's fucking crazy. Yeah, like a real fail in the cold kidman. Yeah. The bewitched was the bewitched movie was probably shot on film. Probably. That's fucking that means it'll be which was the be which movie was probably shot on film probably that's fucking that means it'll be preserved for future generations no matter what the resolution we move to it's crazy when you watch movies that like move to digital and there was just like

this little span of like this looks fucking bad and then all of a sudden it was like I'll never mind it looks the same yeah we got there yep should we tell stories about where we are oh yeah we're I mean sure we're like in it's radio East, but we're down I'm trying to go over the Austin. Uh, we're like close to the paintball woods. The Maybe yeah, we are actually it would be just over there. That way a little bit. Yeah, we used to play Bernie and Gus and I But I worked the text by play. It was like that's when we tried to see if we Like getting shot. Remember you guys talking about that?

That was right over here. And it sucks. The dust mentioned the parking lot right over there where Bernie met us at one of the morning to yell at us. It was behind the building where we eventually housed the Rooster Teeth servers. They're not there anymore. That's all in the cloud.

The parking lot, we're Bernie, although it's one of the morning. We're driving over there. We's all in the cloud. The parking lot. We're pretty old. That isn't one of the more names right over there. We were trying to get my guess what? Oh, you see where that excavator is right behind that and Jeff what? How do you fucking remember? I just funny to me because they even look at back at announced like bold move. Bold move the yellow two guys in a parking lot of one of the morning who don't give a fuck.

You think I'm gonna give a fuck now, man? You should have seen us when we didn't give a fuck. Then it's like, man, fuck now, man, you shouldn't know me well as a bunch of wins. You shouldn't have seen us when we didn't give a fuck of this, it's like, man, I could have gone, I could have gone a lot of ways. The call center's not too far down the road too. That Mermaid's hot tub rental, I was talking about myself, I'm right around the corner over here.

Oh shit. Jeff spit out a tooth machine. I'm gonna talk about his ice. Let's talk about Mermaid. I think she's gonna go there all the time. I just was like, I think we've mentioned it on the show before, and I think that's the exact joke that Jeff told us. I'm just going to, I just got my memory. I just remember him.

What he done today is I got my swing by mermaids. Hello. There was a place down from there called Happy Taco. We always get our breakfast tacos from. Christ. I'd look at every now and then. Jeff's chair is sinking. I don't know. What the hell's going on.

Every now and then, I know it'll be impossible, but every now and then I'd look to see if I can find a happy taco shirt online. Oh, that's awesome. Because I was always the same woman who worked there, but it just had like happy taco and like, this like flocked lettering and then under, it was like a side view of a taco that was smiling,

had like little arms and legs, I was like, oh man. It was adorable. It was really adorable. I would love to have a happy taco shirt. It's actually when you can't find stuff like that. Like, I, uh, was mentioning you guys in the car earlier, I watched Hello Dolly for the first time over the weekend. It's one of Emily's favorite musicals

and I'm not a musical guy. Absolutely loved it. Barbara Strysan was phenomenal in it. Michael Crawford was awesome. But in that, like that whole movie centers around a restaurant called Harmonia Gardens. It is fictional, but it's like the point of the movie is getting her to Harmonia Gardens kind of.

And the whole movie, it kind of like happens in that, they're in that restaurant for like 30 minutes, 40 minutes of the movie, right? And I thought, because Emily's birthday's coming up, and I feel safe saying this on the podcast, because she doesn't listen to this podcast, I don't think. I thought, oh, I'm gonna get her something from Harmonia Gardens, like a t-shirt, or like,

something cute, chachki, that she'll be like, this shows I pay attention and I care, and I love her, and I'm thinking outside the box. So I started looking, no luck. I can't find Harmonia Gardens shit anywhere. And you would think a movie is big as that, and that being such a central piece, like Etsy or somewhere, eBay would have some sort of a something.

You know, that's wild. So if you know of any Harmonia Garden stuff, let me know. You're just looking up funny girl merch or something, man. She likes, she doesn't like Barbara Streisand. She likes Heladol. Oh, okay. All right, I thought maybe there was like a cross.

I don't know if she dislikes Barbara Streisand. She probably loves Barbara Streisand's character, Dolly. I've never seen the doll. Oh, okay. All right. I thought maybe there was like a cross-edged. I don't know if she dislikes Barbara Streisand. She probably loves her. Barbara Streisand's character, Dolly. I've never seen the movie. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's, she's basically like a matchmaker who goes to Yonkers to try to land a rich like store owner and in the process helps a bunch of other people fall in love.

Why are all these movies set in Yonkers? I guess Yonkers was the place to be back then. Because guys and dolls also, right? It's like they're going to Yonkers. Yeah, I think Yonkers. I guess Yonkers was the place to be back then. I don't know. I had guys in dolls also, right? It's like they're going to Yonkers. That's the thing. Yonkers must have been a hot spot. I was reading about it. They didn't actually film Hello, Dolly in Yonkers

because it was too modern. They filmed it in the city of Garrison, New York because it looked old-timey and Victorian, which makes me want to go to Garrison, New York. It must be right by the Hudson, because it's like, I'm in the water. Gorgeous. Garrison, New York probably doesn't look like that anymore.

You have to find another. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, probably not. The movies came out in 69. That's right. They might have updated Gerson. Well, that, but I mean, all the old Victorian architecture and the buildings in the Cue Little Town Square

probably looks the same. Yeah, I mean, it's all the same around here. This is not the, you can't compare. What do you think this place looked like in 1969? I mean, there was nothing out there. Why did it look like in 2004? What the fuck was this? This is a party line.

Is it a party line? No, this was a... This is probably a field. A field. Okay, so that's what we should probably talk about here. And then we talk about the coffee and everything. We walked in, there's a front, there's a huge, there's a big parking lot on the side.

We walk into the front, there's a few food trucks and everything, and it looks really cool. When you walk up, super just like, oh wow, really nice and you walk in, you's a few food trucks and everything. And it looks really cool. When you walk up, super just like, oh wow, really nice. And you walk in, you get a cup of coffee and everything. And I said, we gotta go out back. The back of this place is like a football field. It's so fucking big back here. And there's nothing back here.

It stops halfway. And then it's just, I guess you have like your dog run around in the corner over here? Oh, your kid or something. The tech support company, we used used to work at moved over here. I recognize this road name. Really? I don't know if they're still there, but yeah, they moved to like, very different game,

right? Yeah. Yeah, they were, I don't know if they're still here, but like, I just recognize this road, like I know where we are now, because there was nothing here before. I mean, this is a place you guys would have been at a lot. Yeah, I think if this existed back then, absolutely. They got a place to drink coffee and booze. It's much the same way we talked about how

if Annie's Day and Night existed on Riverside and we lived over there, which closed down. I think Annie's Day and Night Rest in Feats. Yeah, it's on the Austin Subredator, like last week that they got locked out for non-payment around. Our unfortunately, our podcast has lived long enough to see a lot of the places we frequent frequent it go under it like it's happening

All gimmicks is gone, but it's coming back supposedly Maybe our numbers were big we could help places to Misspellings some shit Had some hot takes welcome to amna podcast Annie's day and night didn't make it we's the Met it cozy kitchen cozy kid we's cozy kitchen close down. They're moving though They don't even have a new location yeah, yeah, move it like Liberty lunch was moving and they didn't have a new location Yeah, and last time I checked they're still moving and looking for a new location. That's not a good sign. There's come out here. Oh interesting

It looks like all gimmicks was doing pop-up stuff for a little bit in a couple different places. I'm not gonna pop up lock-up lock-up all though. So maybe they're still, maybe all gimmicks is still around. All gimmicks, let us know. Let us know where you are. Where are you? Yeah, where are you?

Maybe not this moment because I'm already drinking a coffee. Coffee's pretty good here. Yeah. Plus, I mean, I can't fall this place, got a Vera Cruz, got a little QR code, you can order and pay here. Yeah. Plus, I mean, I can't fall this place, got a Vera Cruz. You got a little QR code, you can order and pay here. I'm all about it. What did you think of, I mean, the music's so fucking loud.

We are far away from it, and you might still be able to hear it. Don't need that much music at night in the morning, 10 in the morning. No, no. Not unless I get to pick it. Yeah, like a playground with one thing on it. Like a little half-dome thing. Like a little half dome thing. A half dome thing.

They can crawl around on. But they have a bunch of fire pits back here. There's even more chairs. There's a stage. There's a air stream behind the stage. It's a block up. They can't get to. patio, all this stuff.

I'd only been here before with some friends who we just came for drinks. And I'm like, oh, this place opened and it's sort of equidistant from where we all are. And we just came for a couple of drinks and it was like, what the fuck is this place? Couldn't believe how much real estate there is here. Well, yeah, there's nothing. But it is the first time I've had the coffee here. Jeff, what did you think of your coffee?

You got the ice coffee. That's fine. Eight, eight flat, eight even. Probably similar to what I gave radio. Yeah. Prime or whatever they call that one. Just fine, is it an eight? Yeah, it's good.

It's good. It's an eight. It seems like great inflation. So, so incredible. No, it's like it's so incredible. And eight, like a bee is fine. Just fine is like seven. No, no, no, no.

In Austin, a bee is just fine. The quality is so high. This would be the best cup of coffee in Gross Point, Michigan. I will say, I think a B in Austin is your, it's flying colors. Yeah. That's really good. It's really that's sort of the quality.

Maybe we should reset the benchmark quality in the bar that we're talking about. It's an A that is it, which is just fine. That's fine. What did you think? I see what burning out so matter you know. He was mad at you. He was mad at you. He was mad at him. He was mad at both of us. It's weird how you're always a package deal. Yeah. The name is most hard with G. It's really confusing. He had less tattoos back then. It made more sense. So, that's our care. This is a really good cup of coffee. This is an eight.

Yeah, why? You know what? I think I really enjoy this. It's cooled down a little bit, so I can taste more of the flavor and everything. I give this, I really like this cup of coffee. I give this an eight. This is exactly what I expected it to be.

I expected an eight and I got an eight. And that's just fun. And hey man, that makes it a 10. Yeah. 8 out of 8, 10 out of 10. It's Garrett. Garrett Hunter for megazink before saying, Oh, dude, that movie,

4 out of 5 stars, the perfect movie. What are you talking about? He's like, well, I don't want to like it too much. Then I have to buy it on DVD. So 4 out of 5, the perfect movie. What are you talking about? He's like, well, I don't want to like it too much that I have to buy it on DVD. So four out of five, the perfect movie. Oh my God. Awesome. And so eight out of 10.

A true peak into the lunacy of someone's mind. It is, it's really, I really like the coffee here. I really like the drinks here too. And then dude, you got, so there's pizza also and then there's Veracruz so you can get tacos and it's just a great it's a great little spot where if you're out I don't know why the fuck you would be out this way but if you just got off a plane

here you're heading west from the airport and you tell your Uber driver I just pull over here real quick that's the love that or if you live in those apartments across the street that they just built. You know, when we moved our servers to that location over here, they used to be housed out in Sacramento. And I had to fly out to Sacramento,

unplug all the servers, load them into a car rented, then drive them all from Sacramento to Austin. What? And then I pulled in here like after midnight, like three in the morning, and had to come to this location and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go to the internet and I had to go over and plugged them all in here like in the middle of the fucking night

I think I'll take you it took I Took my time. I didn't want to like I Didn't want it to be that brutal. It took me three days to get here. I stopped in Vegas and Alamagordo On the way here Slept there and then did that last that last year from Alamagordo to Austin was brutal and then I couldn't even go home.

I came straight here and then immediately got to work setting all that shit up, it fucking sucked. Put like a, we're offline page up, be back soon. How many, how many times in your professional life at Ristuth and let's say the first 10 years? Cause probably didn't have them much after this. Did you get off a plane and go no matter what time of day or day and just go straight to work and then work probably 12 to 15 hours. It's a lot, a lot. Almost like half the time, right? Yeah. That's the worst. It's a lot of work. Well now we're making a podcast about drinking coffee. So,

you know, so putting the long hours in here we are. Better early than never. Hey man, that's the early, early is the new late. By the we are better early than never. Hey, man, that's really early. The new late, uh, by the fucking shirt you read the shirt. So our rachisd.com, uh, guess is wearing our, our brim shirt. I love the color of the pocket around. It's so throwback.

It's awesome. But we should get into an energy question. We'll just think up. This is from. This is on the subreddit. Our slash animal podcast retreat. We don't run. You can also send us questions at animal podcast on Twitter

and on Instagram. But this is from J underscore YL underscore underscore N. OK. Jillian. That's pretty good. That's probably hopefully what that is. Hopefully. You guys heard about the total solar eclipse

passing on April 8. Yeah, I just booked a flight to come visit see the eclipse. I can imagine the absolute madness of traffic is going to be around the center. Do you have any plans to go out and see it? Yeah. Okay. I know it's happening near here. I haven't made any plans yet.

One of the, I don't know, I'm not saying this what I'm going to do, but I thought it would be cool to be flying when that happened. And then try to follow it. So I might run a plane and then try to follow along the eclipse path And see it as long as possible cuz we're right we're right close to the I mean we just went through it and what was that December? Yeah, but this is because you were over my house, right? Yeah, but now we're in the path of the total Yeah, I know but it was damn close the other one This one is like we're like right on the c cusp. Look, if you're in San Marcus, you're not quite in it.

Yeah, I think if you go like a little west, like not quite Fredericksburg, you'll be like, right in the center. If you head up to Waco and then check out Chip and Joanna, it'll be right, you know, and then they can, they'll be on their pedestal. They'll probably ring the gong like 10 times to signify something and then the eclipse happens

and we follow our knees and breaks. Everyone in Waco thinks that they cause the eclipse something and then the eclipse happens and we follow our knees and praise. Everyone in wake with things that they cause of the eclipse, like some of the eclipse. I, so my trucking buddies are very excited about it. And so I'm just going to do whatever they do. Like they're going to plan something and I'll just be along for the ride. So I met Birdog's dog. Yeah, Birdog is a, Birdog and Antony are real excited about the clipses.

And so that's like a big thing to them. So do you think any politicians will stare straight at it again? I hope so. Oh, I'm staring at it. Fucking Trump style baby. I'm looking at several looking at glasses and then me looking straight up at the sun, glaring at it.

What the fuck happened with the weather today? It's like hot. It's hot man. I brought a jacket off. I think it's gonna get cold later, but it's fucking hot right now. Yeah, it's brutal. Another question that we had, let me see if I can track this one down real quick. Why you're looking for that?

I got a question via the, uh, so I'll write email the other day that I've been reading. Uh, speaking of getting questions, someone messaged me on LinkedIn. What the fuck? About that. About that. What was fucking weird. This is from a guy named Chris, the pissed punk. Uh, he said, Hey, Jeff, I was wondering if you, Eric,

a Gus, I've ever tried white coffee. It's basically only half roasted coffee bean, so they have a lot more caffeine, less bitter, burnt flavor, and a very nutty flavor. Thank you for reading this. Have you ever, I've never heard of that. I've never had, I've never had white coffee. And the only thing I could think of is that it's flat white,

but it seems like, I just looked it up. It just, it looks like it's just a like like a less roasted meat. Yeah, I've never had pink chicken either. I mean, there's certain things. I've had pink chicken. It's our Chris is no, but thank you for asking. I want to check. We have an opportunity. I have a buddy who's a roaster here. I can ask him about it. Tell me do do. We try have to have to work. Yeah, he just gave me, he rose for a lamp post, we should go to a lamp post. He rose for a lamp post and he gave me a batch

that he just did that they were like really like cupping and mulling over like the flavor profiles and everything. And it's crazy how much goes into coffee and how it costs 350 to get a cup. And there are like, there aren't a lot of beans that are grown in the US. They come from somewhere else, and they have to get over here, and then they get over

here, and they have to hang out, and then after hanging out, they have to get roasted, and they have to get mold over, and you have to keep roasting, and then you send it to a shop, and then once it's set to shop, somebody has to break it down, and make it into something else, and then people go, why is this $5? And you're like, oh wow, I can't. As if for those, I never thought about how much goes into coffee. It's like, that cup of coffee you're drinking literally came from the top of a mountain

and go out of a mallet. Yes, exactly. Made its way all the way to your fucking dumb ass lips. Yep, yep. And then you put a bunch of cream and sugar in it and you go, that's fine. That's delicious. Yum!

My favorite, this one tastes like sugar cookies. That's why I don't put shit in my coffee. Yeah, black coffee is the way to, listen, if you want to start drinking coffee, drink it however you want, but I advise you to get on black coffee as soon as possible. I think that's the reason we all don't put anything in our coffee for this podcast.

You're gonna talk about the coffee. Yeah. You wanna talk about the coffee and not about all the shit you're putting in it. Well, audio texture. Sounds like a paintball accident at the look. Yeah, it's, uh-oh. Well, if you want to send us, I mean, let's get out of here.
