God, look at that White House.

Beautiful.

Vegas.

Nice to live right over here.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, Gavin and I did for a year.

I guess we'll talk about that in the podcast.

Was it only a year?

We were doing the podcast.

That was a podcast.

Yeah, we were doing it.

It seemed like it was so much longer that year.

It was 13 months.

We were putting the second floor on the old house, and so we had to live somewhere.

It had always been a dream of mine to live in Travis Heights in Hyde Park.

And so we moved to Hyde Park.

In my mind, it was like two years for some reason.

I can't believe it's only 13 months.

It's funny because I would have lived here forever, but I was also so fucking ready to leave here.

Really?

It's such a beautiful place, and the neighborhood is laid out in a really useful grid, and it's huge.

And at Halloween, it is like the most picturesque movie Halloween

neighborhood you've ever seen, but it is just full of old white hippies and ponytails and Birkenstocks who just want to talk to you about your yard.

And you're like, I'm just renting this yard.

I don't give a a fuck.

Oh, that works.

And they're like, they're not going to let you.

It's like Ben and Jerry live in every house in this neighborhood.

Oh, man.

A good ice cream, though.

Which makes them good neighbors, but boring, boring neighbors.

Yeah.

I hear that.

And also all the restaurants around here, I was not into, except for

Julio's is okay.

They have been.

And now Wero's is over here, but that used to be Mother's.

I had to go to the next one.

No, that's Kura's.

Or Cura's, sorry.

Cura's.

This Julio's changed ownership,

and the new owners are doing pretty good.

Oh, that's cool.

They've added a couple things that are good to the menu.

And this parking lot over here has changed hands.

It used to be free to park, but now it's parked.

I was going to say it's pay to park.

It's pay to park.

I actually parked in there a couple days ago.

I was getting food from Julio's and all of this was packed.

The Julio's was packed.

I was like, man, I'm going to have to park in the payload.

So I parked in there and there's like a scan the QR code kind of deal.

I was like, I'll just see how much it is.

If it's like a buck, I'll do it.

It was free.

What?

Yeah, it was like no charge.

I was like, oh, okay, I'll definitely park here.

I don't know if it was like a time of day thing or what was going on, but apparently, I guess it's free sometimes.

How is this so crazy?

So, anyway, check it out.

If you need to, you might be

free whenever you're gonna park.

I like your sunglasses.

Thanks.

Are they new?

No, that I've had them.

I mean, as of about 15 years ago, maybe.

Yeah, newish then.

I got them when I was still living over on the east side.

In your first house?

Yeah.

Wow.

I've never held on to sunglasses for more than six months.

Really?

Probably, yeah.

Dang.

These are my driving sunglasses.

I'm curious to get back.

These are replacements because the original ones I had after about six months back then got stolen by a valet.

There you go.

I knew it was something.

It was something with those glasses.

Chuckle foot.

I took them to, was it, we had like a family dinner at Eddie V's, and I always leave these sunglasses in my car.

The only time they come out is for Anva, which didn't, or Goldborn and Gustavo, which didn't exist back then.

And I went to Eddie V's, V's, it was like sunset.

So I was wearing them, left them in the center console of my car.

They always belong.

Then didn't look for them when we left because it was nighttime.

The next morning, looked for them again.

They were gone.

So I was like, then I had valued the car at Eddie V's.

So I was like, hey, you guys stole my sunglasses.

Like, we need to do your sunglasses.

Like, yeah, you did.

They're like, are you sure you didn't displace them?

I was like, listen, someone stole them.

And they're prescription sunglasses.

So it was the dumbest theft ever.

Yeah, no, unless they're my exact same prescription.

Eventually, I fought with them and up.

They cut me a check for

the prescription value of the sunglasses.

Wow.

That's crazy.

Squeaky wheel gets the lenses.

Yep.

You guys want a little snacky?

Yeah.

Because Chocolate Scone's calling me.

Could be.

We're at Quacks, by the way.

I think we said that.

We are at Quacks.

I'll get a blueberry muffin.

Where's that?

That does look good.

Hmm.

Sitting in a pull-apart sounds intriguing for God.

Can I get a cold brew, a lard?

Well, a 16-ounce.

I guess that 20-ounce.

A lot of cold brew.

And a blueberry muffin, if I could.

Whatever these guys want.

Whatever these guys want as well.

I'll do a 12-ounce Americano and a chocolate scone, please.

I'm gonna get a large drip coffee and a pumpkin cream cheese muffin.

Great.

It looks like a very difficult decision for me.

It's just off by one for me.

Oh, gotcha.

Yeah.

And then it was like, go on a, nah, whatever.

Yeah.

It's not worth the effort.

No, no, no, no.

This is the least busy, I think, I've ever seen it.

Yeah, not only

a much longer line.

Do we come at a weird hour?

I don't think so.

That's me.

My buddy's broke.

That's true.

All those Tesla investments are down 50%.

You're a Roy Orbison guy?

Did I hear Roy Orbison?

Are you a big Roy Orbison guy?

Oh, I do like Roy Orbison a lot, actually.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Why do you ask?

It's a conversation.

I don't know.

Are you a big Roy Orbison guy?

I was just curious.

That's weird energy.

We need to get this guy a 12, 16, or 20 ounce coffee, depending on what he is.

32.

It's 32 ounce.

I always get a large, but if it's the size of a big gold, I can't.

This is a weird one because we were already here once.

Yeah.

Chocolate blueberry pumpkin.

That does.

We had due to technical difficulties.

It was lost forever.

Yeah.

Yeah, we lost it.

So it's a redo.

Which.

It's fun.

It wasn't one of our better ones anyway.

No.

It's probably good.

Andrew's been texting me that he thinks I'm on edge lately.

What's going on with you, dude?

You think?

It's not enough for order besides.

I don't know, man.

Like, there are orders that they seem like it really says y'all.

It's a real confrontation.

No, it's really crazy.

What are you asking?

I'm just trying to direct communication.

It's like there's a, it's like he's currently on.

And we're talking for content.

I'm just asking for further information.

I'm sorry, I had a follow-up question.

I used to be a journalist.

What do you mean?

What book are you asking me about?

What's two years?

We'll take a seat, we'll hang out, try these muffins and everything, and then uh we can have a little walk.

Yeah.

There are napkins in there?

Are you napkins?

There's what?

Are there napkins in there?

There are not.

Scraps up.

Look at this.

This guy's thinking ahead.

Fastidious.

Yeah.

Is that right?

I don't think so.

It's fastidious, isn't it?

What's...

What are you trying to say?

He's clean.

Okay.

Is fastidious the right word for that?

I think fastidious would mean like attention to detail, isn't it?

That's what I thought.

Same thing.

He's like, he's getting...

He noticed there's nothing.

He asked if there's napkins.

He was looking for the detail detail if there's napkins in the fucking bag.

Hey, man, I just want to say, you've been kind of like on edge.

Yeah, something's going on.

It started ever since he was wrong about the parking last time.

Oh, my God.

Very attentive and concerned about accuracy and detail.

And hold on, very concerned about matters of cleanliness.

Oh, is that on there?

How that's good.

All right.

Matters of

cleanliness.

It's gone.

Matters of interruption.

Matters of cleanliness.

This is why I'm on edge.

Yeah, let's get you this large ice

looking constantly right and getting all no questions for five seconds.

Dude, this is God.

It's funny because I didn't want to say this in there, but you said that it wasn't one of our best episodes.

And I was going to reply, this is not one of the best coffee shops either.

So it's

kind of fitting.

Very true.

Let's grab this little table.

How many, uh, oh, let's grab this little table.

Let's go.

Let's begin.

i want to be in the sun gus how many different quacks have you been to in your time in austin what dogs in that stroller over there yeah it's really annoying oh we're in hydrate this um stroller dogs right one two i think only three

i want to say three wait how many unless you count lady quackenbushes then four where's lady quackenbushes it's over in mueller now oh i haven't i'm oh i just saw it's a cake shop uh is it related to this I assume so because it used to be like Quackenbush was quacks.

Quacks.

Captain Quackenbush's is what it was originally called.

it's oh these are like the same i didn't know they were like related names there was one on guadaloo on the drag yeah this one you think there was the one uh where cherry and wood coffee house is that used to be quacks is this yours yeah and then this is the other one i've been to blueberry yeah they give you a scone are you sad no

it's weird

i'll take a scone it's weird because um a woman seemed to be really into her job and to really love it so it's weird that she would get that wrong yeah she was loving life

we want all right well thanks for

thank you very much for being thanks for making me feel bad yeah Appreciate it.

My personality was about as fucking dry as this screen.

Oh, no.

That's a dry scrum.

That's fast.

How many of you have been to it?

What?

How many of the clocks have you been to?

Just those three.

Okay.

I was wondering if there was one other one.

I wonder if there was another one that I wouldn't do that.

Yeah.

And I don't know that they were ever operating at the same time.

I think it's like one location that's bounced around.

Well, this one's been here forever, but...

I think maybe the one on the drag was maybe opened at the same time as the one in Cherrywood?

Maybe.

I feel like there was overlap there.

Well, I could be.

I mean, fuck, it's been 20 years.

I could be wrong.

Yeah, I feel like that place was Insomnia when I first came to Austin.

Do you remember that coffee shop?

Yeah, I liked Insomnia.

I went there a lot.

I did too.

This is why I was 21.

That's how long it was.

I was 19, 20, and I couldn't drink.

I couldn't go into bars.

So I would hang out at coffee shops that were open 24 hours a day here.

It was like Insomnia and Flipnautics.

Yeah,

go-to spots.

Fucking Flipnautics, dude.

I can't remember the name for a while.

I hear about that place a lot.

It's gone.

It's a smoothie place or something now, I think.

Last time we did this episode, so this is the last episode from season one uh had technical difficulties had to ditch the episode unfortunately so we went oh hey let's try it again let's do quacks season two

so on the way here

i think last time we did this episode there's a lot of walking and we talked about 35 expansion a lot just sort of because it was like in the area we were doing it whatever on the way here we drove by everything that it was just torn down for that expansion.

That was true blue tattoos gone.

They used to live over in that area.

They closed a little gas station.

That's fucking crazy.

It's not just gone, the building's demolished.

It's like the dirt water.

They like raised the ground.

They salted it.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, they salted it here.

We're not building anything here but freeways.

It looks like the convenience store next to it's also being demolished, which that kind of segues.

I'd like to, in one of our remaining episodes, I think it'd be good if we hit up Dirty Martins

because it's like that's one of those places that's on the cusp of closing because of expansion and I think it's a it's a good tie-in for us I like that idea I had an idea for the last episode I wanted to pitch you

I thought it would be fun

retake that last episode of this season last episode of the season yeah I had an idea for the last episode of the season I wanted to pitch you.

Okay.

Last season, we went and sat in the parking lot at the old Metropolitan Theater where we went and camped out for Star Wars and enjoyed that day.

I thought in the similar similar vein, it would be fun to end this season in the parking lot for Tele Network on Buckles.

Oh, wow.

Pick up some coffee and go sit there.

The problem is, there's nothing down there.

I mean,

go to Happy Daga.

That's been gone for 25 years.

I mean, it was a quarter century ago.

It's got to be something around.

We could do that.

Get McDonald's coffee.

Jumping off of that idea, you could also maybe do the original giraffe house on Colorado.

I drove by that the other day, and what is it?

Something incredibly lame, though.

Yeah, I'm sure.

But yeah,

I'm done with that too.

Going to the tele network, sitting in the parking lot, and doing an episode is so fucking funny to me.

That is so funny.

I think

dude, we're just gonna swim.

These are like the smallest birds that like sounded like they hit the tire of that car.

One of them did

sound like

a fist.

There's that one under there.

Dude, I think doing a tele network episode is very funny.

That's crazy.

Because I've been there.

Once?

Once.

We drove through and I just went, this is fucking it.

Like, this is it.

It's like

a warehouse in South Austin with nothing around it.

Nothing.

Just some woods to play paintball in.

I had to.

I was thinking about TNI the other day because I had to shred some documents.

I don't have a shredder at home.

Are you running from the law or what?

Yeah.

Doge Doge contacts you or something?

I went over to a FedEx location.

And I guess the way that it works there is they charge you by the pound and they put it in a bin, and Iron Mountain comes and gets the bin and shreds it.

Iron Mountain used to be co-located.

Yeah, and Iron Mountain, we, you know, the

call center that we worked at was inside that big warehouse, which you saw.

And then the rest of the warehouse was like an off-site storage facility that did like contracting for like Iron Mountain.

So it's like you walked out of the call center, was like a little cube built inside this bigger warehouse.

If you walked out of that cube,

you were just like in Raiders of the Lost Ark style

warehouse with just like

racks to the ceiling as far back as you could see, just filled with shit.

And there were like two or three people who worked there who didn't work at the call center.

They worked at the storage facility.

What was that lady's name?

Kim.

Kim.

That's right.

I love Kim.

She was cool.

She was awesome.

And it's like, so it's like they would sit around and work and do stuff for the off-site storage and then just watch us answer the phones doing the tech support stuff.

And then Iron Mountain bought them, I want to say, and

they moved all of that stuff to a different location.

So the warehouse emptied out.

This isn't the first year I started working there.

I was there for five and a half years.

So we were then a little box inside, like a drop-ceilinged box inside of a giant warehouse, and there was nothing else in there.

And so I built a skate park.

What?

And it was amazing.

And there were like three or four dudes in the company that skated and oh thank you so much

have a good day there were three or four people there that skated and anthony didn't give a and so just on nights and weekends i spent all my time there building and skating are you serious yeah for a long time and that's where we filmed that apple switch parody wasn't in the it was a giant empty wow really yeah we just uh painted like one of the little walls on the back the fun ended if i remember correctly when somebody hung a rope swing from the ceiling and that pissed anthony off and then I think all the shenanigans stopped there after that.

Well

we were dumb 20 year olds and

no one thought about the load on the ceiling and the fact that that ceiling probably could not hold more than anybody's weight.

Dumb 20 year olds with 24 hour access unsupervised to a warehouse.

Yeah.

Bad decisions constantly.

Tons.

Yeah, there was also, so it was like a giant

empty warehouse, except for there was also like a separate second little fortified cube in there that had the phone system and all of the servers.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

And it was like, what was that called?

The Tatarat?

Is that what we called it?

The Tatarat.

No, that room.

I remember that a room.

The vault?

The vault.

Yeah.

The vault.

Yeah.

It's like, if there was a, if you knew there was a bomb coming, you'd run to the vault.

It was like, it was for because there was actual like telephone company phone equipment in there.

If you knew there was a bomb, so it was

fortified as hell.

Wow.

Just for phone stuff?

Yeah.

There's like certain, when you have phone system equipment, there's a lot of very specifics when it comes to building that you have to adhere to.

And like as far as fortification for the walls, power, redundancy, there even has to be like a certain degree of slope to the floor.

So if liquid does collect, it goes off to like a specific side.

There's a lot of very specific details you don't think about that go into designing any area that houses critical phone infrastructure.

Huh.

I didn't, I never thought

you just figure it lives on a post like that and you go, that's where that's where phones is.

Huh.

No, it's never just never considered it.

Yeah.

It's weird to think we worked for a phone company for a while.

Yeah.

It's a weird part of the resume.

Uh-oh.

This isn't Clarksville anymore, buddy.

Get the fuck out of Hyde Park.

Get in Hyde Park now.

We'll go to bird fight, bitch.

Where did you?

So, I mean, thinking back, like I started there at that place in

February of 98.

Like the last week of February 98.

I moved to Austin like first week of January 98.

Figured I'd be able to find a job anywhere.

I couldn't.

Only place that would hire me was that call center.

I started there, I think, like February 27th, like right at the very end of February 1998.

I remember my roommate at the time saw the ad in the Daily Texan, and that's how I found it.

But it's like, I remember trying to get hired anywhere, and it just was not happy.

I think

for a day before I worked there, the day I got the call from the call center that I was hired there, earlier that day, I had started another job which was like this outbound telemarketing selling security systems I remember I showed up like home security systems yeah okay I showed up for the orientation it was over by the double tree off of 35 like just north by 290 the one and then we did the first RT yeah right right right around the corner from there that was where I went for the day when we got that free uh mold room yeah

Did the orientation and we're finishing and I was like, man, I really don't want to do this.

Like, I have no money, I need to do this or I will starve.

And then I got the call later that afternoon from the cost center that I got hired there, and I never went back to the

security.

Who called you to hire you?

Was it Brian Murphy?

Yeah, it was Brian.

Because when I, when I got hired there in early 98, it was

free renovation.

Like, when you started, like, it was expanded all the way up to the back.

When I started, it was just that little front room.

When I started, there were 60, like maybe 55 employees.

We were just about to hit 60.

And you were telling me, you're like, I've been here since there were 20.

And I was like, how long have have you been here for like seven months longer than you?

I think when I started,

that's how it felt working at Rooster Team.

When I started, a shift was like three, maybe four people.

That's it.

And then by the time you stopped, it was like, what, like 100 or something?

By the time I stopped?

Yeah.

Yeah, well over 100.

Yeah.

When I started, there were like, shift was like eight, 10 people.

Yeah, so I started in January of 99, and I had a similar thing where I moved here, I moved back here, and then I got out of the army in December of 98.

My first job, we may have covered this in season one, but my first job was working at the Sierra Club, right?

And I

quit that the day I started.

Then I got hired as a Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman.

And the day they issued me my vacuum, I went there to get my vacuum and we had to stand in a room and sing the company song.

And I couldn't do it.

I just, I was similar to what you're saying.

I just was like looking around at these people and I had come to terms with the fact that I was going to be a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman.

I knew it was shystery.

I knew it was scummy and sketchy.

I knew these things were overpriced, but I needed the money and it seemed like at least like a good product.

Yeah.

You know, but when I had to get there and sing that like vaguely religious song with a bunch of other adults, I just walked out and I was like, this is not for me.

And Brian called me that day.

And that's the day I got hired.

It's funny how that happens.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

I was destitute.

I remember going home to my apartment over on William Cannon to my wife at the time and going like, I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

I'll figure something else out.

Just like, just like, I remember like, I felt a hole in my stomach, you know, you're just like, you got no options and you're broke and you're terrified.

We had moved here on a whim.

You know, I'd packed up my entire life and moved it here.

And

then you get that call and then the entire course of my life changed because of that phone call.

Wow.

It's wild.

Yeah.

I mean.

Just got to keep on trucking

no matter what's in front of you.

Like

things figure if you keep at it, things will figure themselves out.

It's funny you mention Kirby vacuums.

my uh my parents just bought kirby vacuum are you fucking serious yeah like a couple months ago this guy can tell you all about him dude and i they told me that i was like they still they're still around they still sell vacuums and i forgot that a couple years ago when they were up here with me in austin we had gone to like garage sales one weekend and they had found at an estate sale an old kirby vacuum and bought it uh-huh for like 20 bucks or something and they loved that thing and i guess like that one had finally gone it looked like it was from the 70s that one finally went out and they decided to buy a new kirby and they traded in that old one got money for it some credit traded in yeah i guess kirby like took it back i want to say when i was this is 98 and so it's a extremely imperfect memory but i want to say even in 98 those things were over a thousand dollars a vacuum yeah it was like a crazy i remember thinking like

i'm never gonna sell one of these but that's okay and they're also heavy as hell right like they're made out of like some kind of solid steel like i think nowadays they have like a drive motor to help you push them because they are so heavy The big selling point for those things too was what I was supposed to do is I was supposed to ask to go and you know get into the house and like clean up the carpet and stuff.

And then you go, I'd like to show you what this thing can really do.

If you wouldn't mind, and I go into their bedroom and you take off their, you fitted sheet to just have a little bit of the mattress, the raw mattress, and then you vacuum the mattress for a couple seconds and then you show them all the dead skin and dust.

And that's how you, that's, that's the point people buy it.

That's a, hey, honestly, great selling point.

Yeah, pretty good.

I never got to do it firsthand because

no one would let me in their house.

Couldn't sing the song.

I remember that was like the moment.

They were like, this is the moment you get them.

Wow.

You show them what they're sleeping on.

Let me in your house.

Eight hours a day on this.

Let me show you what this vacuum does.

J Bingo.

So I see.

I heard those are back in the Chronicle now.

Yeah, I think that's probably where that one's from.

I kind of imagine an original one is still looking in that condition.

That's that good.

I think that's an original Gidget sticker.

Gidget's the dog from Taco Bell.

That's her name.

That was the dog's name.

I guess I forgot that.

Wow.

I thought I wanted to go about Gidget.

You said to remind you about something about yardtails.

Yeah, I told that story as a setup.

I thought you did a great job.

And then there you go.

No, I thought Gus was telling that story as a first job, last job, which is another prompt I gave him.

Because I was thinking, like, we now work for ourselves, right?

Not our own boss.

So my first job in Austin was working at the Sear Club.

And hopefully, my last job in Austin is working for myself as a podcast owner.

This is going to be my last job.

I'll see to it.

One way or the other.

Your first job in austin was selling security systems which i did for a day which you did for one day and your last job in austin is uh running a dnd fingers crossed company i'll see to don't see do it

no listen no matter what the the other prompt that i gave you guys in the car was because i was driving around yesterday looking for office space for oh yeah for regulation because ours fell through that's my fun

i was struck and we're looking for a house we want to move into a house i think that's the better speed for us so i was driving through neighborhoods and I was struck by the realization that even though it was 1999,

I still remember almost every house we went to a yard sale at.

Like I'll be driving through a neighborhood and I'll go.

Gus and Sarah and I were, I was in Barton Hills yesterday and I was like, Gus and Sarah and I went to a garage sale in this fucking house.

And that's where Sarah saw that guy's dog and she goes, I like the golf.

I think about that.

I've made fun of her fucking Forever for it because it was so stupid.

I went to that, I drove by that house yesterday, dude.

How do I know from the summer of 1999?

How do I remember that?

And I realized I remember so many houses from yard sales in the 90s.

That's insane.

Yeah, same.

There's one, I think.

Why'd you make this?

The way she said it was so, was so dopey.

Like, she went up.

Well, whatever.

I don't want to belabor it.

20 years.

It's been 30 years, probably.

There's one over here off off of Red River.

Red River.

Red River.

One of those called Red River.

Like maybe

close to the St.

David's Hospital.

Is it over there?

No, it's in that area.

Close to the St.

David's Hospital.

Maybe it's not off of Red River.

It's just a little west of there.

But I pass every now and then that...

We went to a garage sale there, and I always think about that.

I think it was a pink house that's house.

It's white now.

I think back then it was like a pink two-story house on the corner.

And we went in and spent forever in there looking at stuff.

I know the house you're talking about.

There's another house on Red River that, if I pointed it out, you'd be like, oh, yeah, it was a duplex, ugly as sin that we went to a yard sale at.

We used to do this thing where we would drive around for drunk aimers and do what was called drunk sailing, which we would get up very hungover the night before because we'd be out drinking on 6th Street on Red River.

20-year-olds.

Or Red Ripper, sorry.

In the morning.

And then we would get up.

And Gus was actually the engine that made it.

I would have never gotten out of bed.

Yeah.

But he was always the one that was like, get up, let's go.

It was content.

Yeah.

It was content.

It was footage.

And so at 8 a.m.

every Saturday, we would get a list from the newspaper.

Yeah, it was the statesman.

Yeah, the statesman.

We would look in the classifieds for yard sales, and then we would drive around and look for old video games and consoles.

Wow.

And then it's before video.

Yeah.

So we would take pictures and then we would write stories about it.

Yeah, sometimes true, sometimes may not true.

Just like whatever.

And for some reason, all those fucking yard sales from 1999

burned into my brain.

Yeah.

How crazy.

What did we say before we said it was it's content?

We say that a lot.

It's like an excuse for like what this is, but like that wasn't the term in 2008 when we were like making stuff.

We wouldn't, we didn't call it content.

I don't know.

I just don't remember what we called it.

We would say footage.

Footage, right?

Jackass did.

I remember like Jackass 2.

Ryan Dunn was not going to do high.

I think it was High Lie.

Was he going to do the High Lie?

Yeah.

And Jack Knox will go, it's footage.

Yeah.

I guess that's, I guess,

yeah, I think, I guess that's what we called it too.

I just don't remember.

I was thinking about it the other day.

Mega64 is doing this thing where they're going to stream for like eight hours or whatever, but we used to do a thing of like filming what we call personal channel videos.

They're like non-mega 64 videos, but it'd be us fucking around like in the studio, just filming ourselves like dumb, the dumbest like 11-second skits that we could think of.

And they're going to be doing that.

And then a lot of that was like, oh, you know, it's content, whatever.

And it's like, but that's not what we called it.

Like, what?

I just couldn't remember.

I guess that's what it was.

It was footage.

Which is weird to say because I don't think we would have called drunk sailing footage because that was before.

Yeah, so like, what do you like?

It's a post?

Like, well, I don't even know what you'd call it.

Yeah, I don't.

I really don't remember.

If you remember, let us know.

If you were there within that line,

you were like, dude, get up.

It's Ian blog content.

We're blogging.

It's blog content.

It's going to go into the blogosphere.

Yeah.

The bloblot network fucking, they invested in us.

We need to make that pizza money.

Hell yeah.

This whole area is kind of fucked up right now.

When I came here the other day,

all of this was closed.

That's why I had to park in this paylot.

But it was free.

But it was free.

I feel like I say this every time I leave my house, and I've been saying it for years, but every fucking, there's not a place in Austin you can go to and do a 360 spin and not see some level of construction or road work.

We've talked about it before, but this is definitely San Diego in the 90s where it was just like, how fast can we expand?

What can we build?

What can we do?

Because there's so many people here.

It's insane.

Just keep, just keep getting crews to work.

And it would boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

And then you get to the other side of it where now everything's falling apart.

And then you go.

Oh, the decay phase.

Uh-oh, no one's working on any of this stuff.

You know, my cousin's husband has a, just talking about like getting cruising.

My cousin's husband has a foundation repair company, right?

And he, a couple of years ago, after the pandemic, things really exploded, he had to start hiring crews in Waco and bringing them into Austin because

there weren't enough people in Austin.

Now he has to hire people in Dallas.

Further, further?

Yeah,

even that much further out to get people in because it's just so much going on.

What is it we were talking about?

Were we talking about the other day?

Austin's like the 11th biggest city.

It actually dropped.

It was 10th.

We dropped to 11th.

I learned that and it made me want to move.

It was like, this isn't, this city isn't isn't big enough to hold

the 11th biggest city by population standing.

There is not enough space.

Totally agree.

Well, there's not space.

There's just nothing.

The sprawl hasn't caught up with it or whatever.

And it's, you can definitely see like a little bit of like a rubber banding where it's kind of coming back.

There's like a lot of empty apartments right now.

Yeah.

A lot of new apartments, a lot of empty apartments.

It's great.

But man, I learned that and it just made me go like, I got to,

I want to get out of here.

Just wait till you uh go to Houston this weekend and really experience sprawl.

That place is ridiculous.

You think it's sprawl all the way out to beautiful Pasadena?

Yes, whatever that it is.

You're gonna be, you're gonna like hit Katie, yeah, and then it's still gonna be like another 90 minutes to get to Pasadena.

You'd be like,

I'm just driving through Houston.

It's like 90 minutes.

Even the worst, the worst part is we're gonna stop.

They're gonna go like, oh, do we get to stop at like the Buckies on the way?

It's the bad Buckies.

Yeah.

It's the shit.

Don't even just take me to a quick trip.

Get real.

Houston's so big, it has like three separate downtowns.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

It's got like multiple loops and beltways that go around it depending on like what circumference of the city you want to go around.

It sounded like you were sitting up for like a your mama joke there.

Houston's so big.

Well, it has multiple downtowns.

That's how big it is.

But isn't Dallas the same way?

Like Dallas-Fort Worth is two different things.

Like with no downtowns, it's just shitty and spread.

Yeah.

That's something to talk about.

Oh, this person just got out of a Waymo.

I assume they just took a Waymo Uber and now they're videoing their experience getting out.

If you want to learn more about that.

I'll be on TikTok in an hour.

If you want to learn more about the Waymo and the Waymo experience, check out Brandon Farmahini on any social.

That's true.

He'll let you know all about it.

I haven't done one of these yet, but I really want him to.

There's no one in that car.

I came across one in a neighborhood this morning when I was actually leaving my neighborhood to drive to here.

And there was one coming at me and I realized there was nobody in it.

And it was one of those areas where you have to like drive

cars because the street's not wide enough.

And it fucking nailed it.

Like I was like, for one brief second, I thought, uh-oh.

And then it was totally freaking.

If anything, I would say a Waymo is probably better than a human driver in that situation because a human driver does not want to get over to let you get ahead.

Waymo would be great.

Like people want to get in front.

People will not move over for another human being.

Austin does that.

I don't understand.

The idea of merging in Austin is I got to get ahead of this next car.

You stared at, we were doing a zipper merge on the way here.

I just stared at the guy.

I let someone in and then like the next car tried to get over and Genji's like, dude, it's your turn to get behind.

I just stared at Austin is the same.

This opened my eyes.

It was probably like three or four months ago.

My wife brought it up where she just went, everyone in Austin, when they merge, wants to get in front of the next car.

No one will dip behind to make it easier for everyone.

And that's why there's traffic all the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're past where we don't even do alpha shit, bro.

We're Sigmas.

Drive and grind.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I feel like it's especially bad for me because that car I drive is so small.

people expect it to be like shitty and underpowered even though it's electric so it's like everyone's trying to get in front of me it's like no i'm i'm gonna accelerate faster than you yeah it's like i'm not what is like yeah really just didn't experience that until i moved out here the driving is so bad but that's that's like such a huge reason for it is like no one will zip her they all want to just go in front and then or or wait till the last possible second then cross three lanes of traffic to get to where they're going it's like if you're trying to zip your pants and just three of the teeth jumped one of the tooth

the fuck happened here doesn't work

these pants are up there was uh speaking of traffic and yeah construction and everything this i-35ery yeah in north austin is unbelievable the whole thing is under construction and all the lanes are super narrow and there was just like that horrible crash over the past weekend.

Dude, that was so crazy.

Like 11 injured and yeah, five died.

I talked to Blaine about it.

Like we were both like a small child.

Yeah,

you see something fucked up coming from behind you, there's nowhere to go.

There's no place to get over.

There's no shoulder.

No, there's no escape.

Then there was a homicide right after that.

You see that?

And then yesterday afternoon, they shut the interstate down for 90 minutes so they could come in and do a police investigation.

Yep.

In the scene, they found somebody was in a car, like not moving.

The car was like stopped, and there was somebody in the car.

And they went, like, there's, all right, there's a person in here.

And they did not say, like, if they were like alive or dead or anything, but they like shut it down for like an hour and a half.

Wow, crazy.

Yeah, crazy.

It's uh, so it happens in the 11th largest city, baby.

Yeah, and

then you got to add just one more lane to that, to that interstate, just one more lane.

It's going to fix it.

It's going to fix the whole thing.

What I'm planning on doing is just not going to North Austin for a couple of years.

Well, that's a good idea.

I don't know what I need of that.

I don't go in that direction very often anyway.

Right.

It's like, oh, I can't go to Ikea.

Okay.

Oh, man, I need to go to Round Rock.

What?

I'm going to get a big donut.

There's a FUD place I like off of like, where is that?

Over like Dessan, Parmer.

And I would normally take 35 to get there.

I guess I'll have to take like 290 to Cameron and take Cameron up there now.

Yeah.

That's instead.

Takes them back to Palmer.

Yeah, that's like more out of the way.

God, that's really out of the way.

That's a long drive.

That's a long haul from that side to the other side.

Yeah.

There's no East-West Freeways.

We just didn't build them.

You want to go north or south?

Think about heading east.

Do you want to go north or south?

Don't worry.

We've got that.

We've got 183.

130 is going to take care of it, guys.

What direction does it run?

Was 130 the most ill-conceived thing ever?

I think it's actually used a lot.

Is it?

It's really good.

Didn't they go bankrupt?

Yeah, fuck them.

Yeah.

I think now, if you, I think in the early days, yeah, it wasn't used.

Nowadays, it is like.

Constantly.

Yeah, it's used a lot, not for what it was built for.

My understanding is that it was built so trucks could stay off 35 and you take you take the toll route they would take the toll route around to circumvent all of austin and instead the trucks stay on 35 and everybody else goes around

because 35 is nothing but trucks yep yep

not for not for long when snapped is over that's why

yeah i guess these problems are taking care of themselves yeah we'll be okay yeah that's that's what i would call this a problem taking care of it surely there will be no other unintended consequences from this we're gonna we're gonna eliminate traffic by increasing food insecurity.

Let's decrease trade.

You're hungry?

Well, shut up and get in your car.

I got news for you.

The freeway is clear.

You can drive to the food bank.

Remember COVID when nobody was driving?

You can drive to the food bank.

It's so fucked.

That's so funny.

Freeway is clear.

You can drive to the food bank.

There was a big one down by our old office off of Slaughter.

It's still there, I think.

Yeah, that's like one of their depots or like the distribution hub.

My mom works for a food bank in

San Diego.

It was a thing that my grandparents started doing with like a rotary club.

And then my mom, after she retired, was like, I'll do it too.

And she's there like every day.

She's got a big truck and like does like big hauls of stuff, goes and picks stuff up from like Target.

It's like, here's all this food.

And then they go and

like put it in like different packs to like give to people and all this stuff.

That's fucking cool.

It's it's awesome.

It's really cool.

But then the problem is people don't take all the stuff.

And so she'll come home and she's like, look,

it's a bunch of food nobody wanted.

And I'm like,

why would I want any of this?

What do you mean?

It's expired in an hour.

It's still good.

That's what I'm saying.

You mentioned the Rotary Club.

I made me think about something that happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

I was at Starbucks over in Mueller and I'd ordered a drink via the app.

I was meeting someone there and they called my drink as being ready.

So I walked up to get it.

And the guy behind the counter did that thing where he's like, you look familiar.

I know you from somewhere.

And of course, I never want to be presumptuous.

Like, oh, yeah, you know me from the internet.

So I'm like, oh, yeah, really?

Yeah, because that's, have you ever had that backfired on you?

That's why I must have.

That's the embarrassing thing.

Oh, no.

No, that's not it.

Like, oh, God.

I just want to go.

So I'm like, oh, really?

He goes, yeah, worries.

I can't place it.

He's like, do I know you from the Rotary?

And I was like, no.

And when he said that, I was like, oh, he's going to say it in the rotary.

Yeah.

No, no, I'm not.

In the rotary, he's like, huh.

He's like, well, that's something.

I was like, okay.

Then in my head, I was like, this guy genuinely has me confused with someone else.

Yeah.

It's not.

I don't even know what the Rotary is.

Like, I don't know what the Rotary Club does.

Yeah.

I know about it.

My ex-wife was a member.

It's a collection of local business leaders and like owners who get together to do civic duty, civic duty goods around the community.

They will have like guest speakers come in and give give presentations and go for like professional development and that kind of shit.

But they also sponsor like kids to go overseas for like semesters away in high school and shit.

Oh, so like, like a lot of the, like, you know, like when a kid from Germany comes for like his junior year of high school, a lot of that's through the Rotary Club.

Oh,

like my whole life, I feel like my grandparents have been part of like the Rotary Club.

And it's like, I don't know what this is.

Yeah.

They just go, oh, I know, this is Gail.

I know him from Rotary Club.

And I'm like, just the thing that has the fish fry you drive by on Saturdays that I'm working.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I feel like as a kid growing up in small town, South Texas, it was always the Rotary and the Knights of Columbus.

Yes.

What are these organizations?

The Knowledge Club, Knights of Columbus, Rotary.

No, those are the only two we have.

You didn't have Elks?

No, we didn't have Elks.

Oh, wow.

Just Rotary and Knights of Columbus.

I almost joined the Elks Lodge over in.

Yeah.

I tried to.

I didn't try to.

I thought about trying to.

Yeah, yeah.

A couple years ago.

It was over on the east side.

I was going to ask if you ever thought about doing like

if you're like, there's a couple of VAs around Austin.

I joined the

what is it called?

Not VFW, but the other one.

American Legion.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I joined the American Legion when I got out of the army.

You got to be careful with Legionnaires to see.

I think I might have joined the VFW too.

It was like $20 a year, and I paid for like two years, and then I fell off.

I never went and I fell off.

There's a few VFWs

around.

I go to some, like, wrestling shows happen there a lot.

But man, they have the cheapest booze of any place in the fucking city.

You get like the strongest tequila soda pour

for $3.50 and you just go, uh-oh.

Kiwanis Club.

That's Kiwanis Club.

I remember that.

That's another one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember Kiwanis Club.

That was the thing when I was a kid.

Kiwanis Club felt like it was church associated.

I don't know.

These all feel like they're church associated.

Yeah.

I think that's a Catholic organization.

Yeah, they all feel like they're church associated without being church associated.

Some way, yeah.

yeah.

Yeah,

um,

it's a it's grackle season, dude.

It's spring.

Spring is sprung.

Uh, when we are recording this, it has been consistently 80 degrees for like the last four or five days.

Why is it so windy lately?

I don't remember it ever being this windy.

It is insane how windy in Austin.

Yeah, like for a week, it's been like non-stop.

It sucked when there were the fires because it was just fucking dusty.

But

yesterday, the wind was the breeze was amazing.

Oh, it's super nice.

It's nice.

I went for a bike ride.

It was fucking, it was like maybe the best weather of the year.

It's nice right now.

But that way, like it'll kick up like what you're talking about.

It kicks up so hard, so suddenly.

When those fires were happening out like they're like New Bronfels or whatever.

Fredericksburg.

Fredericksburg.

And

dude, you couldn't breathe.

Yeah.

It was crazy.

It was like orange outside in the afternoon.

But that's what it was like growing up in San Diego with the wildfires that would happen.

Like it was every year.

We'd get wildfires and then you'd just go, oh, yeah, it's up in Vista.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, you can just kind of see like by the distance.

That's one of the reasons Emily's parents left Bend.

Yeah, just every year,

the fires got worse and worse.

It gets worse and worse, yeah.

Yeah, but now it's uh, it's windy here, and that's okay, but at least it's warm.

Yeah, it's like it's it's South Buy just ended, so you know, it's like that time of year when it's beautiful weather.

It's South by an ACL, you're uh, you're in for the good weather, yeah, dude.

That's something we should talk about.

What's that?

Did you see the South by news come?

Yeah, crazy, they're they're stopping the music thing.

They're not stopping it,

they're scaling it back, reducing it, and deprioritizing it.

The interactive and the film used to be like the stepchildren to like the add-on.

The sideshow.

The sideshow to the music festival, which used to bring over 2,000 bands a year

or yeah, 2,000 bands a South by into the city.

And it was this thing in the mid-2000s where, and it's going to sound like hyperbole, but it's not.

Like you could, this parking lot would have bands playing right now.

And that parking lot across the street would also have bands playing right now.

And there would be a band playing in the fresh plush grocery store for some reason, like it would be everywhere.

And I guess it's just become harder and harder and harder for them to attract musicians because there's just no need for it.

Yeah, a band is going to break out hands and style in 2025.

With the internet at the conference, unnecessary.

Yeah, completely a superfluous event, right?

And so I think they said that this last year they only were able to pull 1,029 bands in.

Wow.

So about 50% of what they expect expect to pull in.

Most of them were international bands.

They're not getting a lot of U.S.

interest.

And so they decided to reduce, going forward, they're going to reduce the festival by two days.

So, like, the music will not have that final week.

Yeah, it ends on the Wednesday the music begins.

So, you usually go, like, you have like interactive film and educational, and then the music begins on a Wednesday and it ends on Saturday.

Yeah.

Now, it's just going to end on that Wednesday, and they'll bump the music stuff up to be inside

the other programming, and it'll just be apparently seriously deprioritized because the film festival is where the real money is, and the real growth is.

They also started selling badges now at the end of

the half price.

Yeah, like at a really super discounted price.

And I think that's also a response to maybe concerns over the convention center not being available for them next year.

Yeah.

So I think they're trying to drive the interest to get the revenue now before that really gets into people's minds.

Definitely.

It's interesting to see the rise and then maybe fall of something as

important to Austin as South by Southwest has been and put it on the map.

They built that fucking building.

I'm pointing as if you can see it.

But they built that fucking building downtown on like,

I don't know,

San Jacinto or no, it's at like

12, 11th

and

San Antonio or something.

Yeah, I'm thinking about the old headquarters.

Yeah.

And it's like a 15-story building.

I went to a wedding there.

It's like really gorgeous.

And I think before the building was finished, they already had financial trouble.

Oh, no.

And I can't imagine these are.

It used to bring in about 200 million a year to Austin, I think.

And I bet it's nothing near that.

Yeah, I think we're starting to see it plateau.

It's not necessarily nosediving, but we're starting to see it like it plateaued already.

I think that's on the

top.

Well, I think that's a big reason for the change, right?

It's like, why do the music then, if that's what this is going to be?

Especially if people are going to come in and you get celebrities coming in for

Tim Robinson or whatever has that new movie with Paul Rudd.

They were here.

Apparently, Paul Rudd was the most important thing to happen to Austin.

Everywhere I looked, there were Paul Rudd for this.

And it was like, oh, okay, like, I guess if that's, if that's what we, if that's what we're going with, then, okay.

It just all became like VIP experiences.

Yeah.

The number one comment I saw, or the top comment I saw on the subreddit, the Austin subreddit read about it was, Austin used to be the live music capital of the world, now it's the VIP room capital of the world, yeah, and that's the most fucking apropos.

I think that that's on the money, man.

The person who wrote that was a genius.

Yeah, I think they're

absolutely on the money because that's

that's how it feels.

I don't even bother trying to go to any of this stuff because it's like when I'm going to wait in line to maybe get in it.

There was a there's a wrestling show called Fourth Road that's happening at uh Empire that was put on by Westside Gun, I think, uh, rapper, and uh,

had a bunch of names, and it was like, oh man, I know so many people here.

Maybe I'll try to go.

It came and went.

And all I heard was, I bought tickets to the show, and they kept changing who could get in because initially it was ticket holders, and then it was people with South Buy badges, and then it was ticket holders again, and then it was people with badges who had tickets.

And they kept

doing this back and forth.

And it was at capacity before more than half the people could get in.

Yeah.

It was like, oh, yeah, man, I want to, ooh, I want to to go to that.

Like, what?

Yeah.

Outrageous.

Crazy.

That's awful.

That's something you do when you're younger.

Yes.

It's definitely.

You don't care about your time.

It's just about if I'm 22, I don't give a fuck.

Get me in anywhere.

Get me drunk.

Is there free taco?

Hell yeah.

The first half of your Austin arc in your early 20s is standing in lines and paying ridiculous money to go be a part of a festival somewhere and being on top of the world.

The second half of your Austin arc is looking at it and going, who do we know that can get us in for free?

And if there's nobody that can get us in the back door, we're not going because it's not worth standing in the house.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

You don't want to get jumped by birds.

Dude, there are so many grackles out here.

We started feeding them.

That was maybe a mistake.

Got a grack attack.

Yeah, dude.

We should

get on to wrapping this up, but we should talk about the coffee.

Because quacks, again, a lost episode.

Quacks.

But this was a different experience than what we had last time.

Then the last episode, a lot of walking around.

This was a nice sit.

Yeah.

Cup of coffee.

We all got muffins or scones or whatever.

What do you guys think?

It is so fucking funny because the last time we walked around and I told a bunch of stories about living in this neighborhood, I can see the house I lived in.

There's a that's yeah, that's Millie's old bedroom right there.

You can see poking out of that, uh, where Gavin and I lived for about a year.

And instead, we just sat here and didn't really talk about Hyde Park at all.

I gotta say, the coffee was better this time.

This was better this time.

This, this is maybe one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had on this shelf.

Yeah, I mean, it's so fucking good.

I talked shit because that first time we came here, it was awful.

This one is actually, this is an excellent Americano.

This is a great, like an eight and a half.

This might be a nine, five.

This coffee is fantastic.

Wow.

I don't know what quality.

This is probably like an eight on this Americano.

This is such a light roast with like a little bit of like a sourness that I really like.

There's a sweetness, like almost like a fruit juice kind of like sweetness.

It's fucking awesome.

What happened?

I don't know.

This is

a good day.

I thought we caught a lot of stuff.

But I feel like the last time was more indicative of what my normal quacks experience.

Well, that's that's what you're saying.

There's no one here.

The last time we went, yes, it was like, oh, this is pretty typical quacks.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, for this is unusual.

This is definitely unusual, but I'm fucking loving it.

I feel compelled to also say, Fresh Plus has still not cashed my check.

Maybe we can go.

Are you serious?

Go in there and ask them if they're okay if they need the seven

seven bucks.

Oh, shit, it's the check guy and he brought other old friends.

Oh my god, these guys, are they all gonna write checks?

Oh, fuck.

They're all here, and they're all writing checks.

Lock the doors.

This Fresh Plus has the painting on the side, the Will Farrell painting.

Yeah, the Will Farrell Harry Shear, I believe.

Yeah.

That

is them.

Yes.

For a movie that we found out did come out.

Yeah, Wendell.

Yeah, Williams Movie.

Luke Wilson.

Yo, it's in it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It came out like in 04 or 05.

It's old and they just kept that.

Yeah, it's their claim to fame.

Yeah.

Will ferrell.

From that movie everyone saw and loved.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We all love it.

We all, it's classic.

It's probably number one Austin film, you know what I mean?

Put Luke Wilson in a movie and I'm there.

Day one.

Opening day.

Butts in the seats.

Put Luke Wilson.

It's the first time that sentence has ever been said.

Put Luke Wilson in a movie and I'm there.

I like to celebrate the entire film biography.

I really, if you can find quacks on a good day, I can't recommend this enough.

This is so good.

Yeah.

Fantastic.

And it's just watch the bird fights, too.

Yeah.

And like we keep saying, it's not crowded.

I don't know what's going on.

No one's here.

It is dead-ass empty.

Oh, I bet it.

I bet I know why.

I bet it's because it's spring break.

Oh, that's why that's why there hasn't been gone.

That's why there hasn't been traffic.

Exactly.

I drove down Guadalupe the other day by the university, and it was not bad.

That must be it.

I totally forgot.

Because I rode my bike to Barton Springs yesterday, and it was insane for a Tuesday.

And I was like, what the fuck?

Oh, right, right, right.

It's got to be.

Yep.

It's exactly what it is.

It's exactly what it is.

Spring break.

So what do you guys want to to do for spring break?

Let's go down to South Padre.

Record 1,000 fucking podcasts with you?

Good.

You don't have a choice.

You decided you want to be out of town for three fucking weeks.

I'm out of town for 12 days.

A nurse.

Uh-huh.

Wearing her scrubs.

Yeah.

And wearing like the shoe covers.

The shoe covers, yeah.

Yeah.

I saw that too.

What's well, she don't want to mess up her shoes.

She's got,

she's got, like, flu game Jordans, dude.

She fucking forgot.

They're filthy.

Take them off.

I'm sure she'll throw them away.

No, no, no.

Well, she's going to change the shoe covers, but you don't want to scuff up the Jordans.

I guess.

Those J's are hot, baby.

Anyway, it's your fault for leaving town, I guess, Jeff.

I don't know.

Yeah.

You fool?

And I'm sorry about that.

Apology barely accepted, but that's fine.

We don't want to get you agitated.

Yep.

So this is episode six of Good Morning, Gus.

So we should definitely, in the remaining two for the season, definitely either go to

TNI or the Alamo and Dirty Martin.

So

two of those three or something.

Okay.

Some combination.

Yeah, we'll figure out what we're going to do.

I'm excited.

And don't forget, episode eight, we all will say if we're going to continue the show or not.

There it is.

The wind.

I saw it coming.

I saw it.

If you remember how season one went on episode eight, we all said if we were going to continue the show or not.

We all said yes.

Episode eight, we're going to do the same.

Will we all say yes?

Will they, won't they?

Yep.

That's the exciting part.

Also, there were a lot of people that thought I was going to be the one to say no in the first season.

I thought that was funny.

Fucking crazy.

Really funny.

Insane.

Ultimate heel move.

You missed out.

You really missed out.

Gus and Jeff love doing the show.

Yeah, but hey, no.

What?

So find out.

Episode eight.

It's coming soon.

But thanks for listening.

Let us know what you think.

I don't think we'll see it, but let us know.

Put it somewhere on the internet.

Exactly.

Send us a postcard.

And we'll talk to you next time.

We got to get out of here before we crackle do this.

Okay, cool.

Bye.

Bye-bye.
