They still haven't deposited my check.
Okay, okay.
I may have gotten away with it.
Yeah, I think you just came up with a new life hack.
Do you think they only shop with checks?
They only cash at 40% of the time.
This is the new TikTok hack for banking, isn't it?
Paying with checks everywhere you go.
Wait, people don't cash them.
This is like, they gotta take it.
This is mind-blowing.
It's been, what, a week?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They don't know what to do.
It's probably still like framed.
They probably framed it.
It's probably like by the cash register.
Like, on this day, we received our last check ever.
What?
Like, what?
Everywhere you go to shop, you should bring a checkbook with you.
And if the person at the checkout looks under 26, you got to use a checkbook.
And for free, you can go like under 32.
Yeah.
I got free food, dude.
Those pretzels, they taste even better.
Dude.
Wow.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
Thanks.
How much was it for, if I can ask?
It was like seven bucks.
I want to say it was $7.46, somewhere around there.
It wasn't a ton of stuff.
Wow.
Do you think, and I realize the audience can't see this, but do you think those are the saddest,
most dilapidated lockers ever?
There's a bank of like four high school or five high school wall lockers here.
Well, part of it's obscured by a pole for me.
Yeah.
At least I was here.
I mean, I can't fault the Alabama school system.
Kind of five is like junior high-level stuff.
I mean, if you're depressed about this, how are you feeling about the trunk left to the elements?
Oh, that's.
I will say, at least the lockers have seen stuff.
Yeah.
They moved from where they were.
Yeah, they weren't born here.
They're not like in a dilapidated high school.
Like, they have not lived their entire existence or had their entire existence in one spot.
I wonder if we've seen the birth of the new Spider-House coffee shop here, where it's just like, there used to be a famous coffee shop in Austin for many, many years.
As a matter of fact,
I accidentally ran into one of the guys that owned it on Saturday, and
he had a Spider House hat on and I said, oh, I love your hat.
And then he goes, thanks.
It almost ruined my life.
And I was like, whoa, I didn't mean to get into this.
And then he just went into this whole rant about
how much of a money hole that place was until he got rid of it.
Really?
Yeah, he said he owned it for like three years.
It's always packed, though.
Yeah, and the new place, Tweeties, seems to be doing pretty well too.
Anyway, Spider House was famous because it had this huge yard that was full of junk.
We've talked about it a lot, probably, like old broken statues and fucking like bed springs and shit, but it was charming.
Had countless sangrias in that pattern.
I've never had a sangria anywhere.
So the only thing I ever had a sangria was at Spider House.
And it was always in the...
I don't know why.
It was like Weber met there.
Jason, I think we hung out with Jason there quite a bit.
Jason always sangrias there at Spiderhouse.
That dog used to be a bartender there.
Yeah, he
remembers Gus.
He would bartend.
like all over the place.
He bartended at Mohawk when I would go to a bunch of wrestling shows that were at Mohawk.
And he was, I was talking to him about it.
And he was saying, like, yeah, a lot of the other bartenders didn't want to work.
He's like, his wrestling thing.
He's like, you guys were great.
Everyone would come and buy the cheapest, shittiest beer and tip so good.
It was awesome.
Must be great when if you're a bartender and someone just orders like a beer.
That's like the easiest.
It's just...
a bunch of dudes in their 20s going like get six of
Montucky cold snap whatever bullshit and you just set them down and you have like that long like bottle opener thing and you just put on a thing you go
say 12 pearl lights please yeah i don't drink anymore so it's been a while since i've thought about this but does alan will still do the bucket of beer i think so wait what i don't know what we used to be able to buy a bucket of beer and it would have five beers and a like bottles of beer and a bucket with ice oh i don't think they yeah you get like a little bottle opener attached to it and you could just like you'd be like a bucket of beer and they'd just like bring out this metal pail filled with ice and beer and be like that that would be my beer for the movie i want to do that and drink five beers while watching a movie.
Yeah, you know,
we'd get like a bucket each.
I think the thought was you would share it, but where we were, it's like we always like a bucket each.
No, no, no.
Like, I'm going to go watch the jerk, eat pizza and
drink a bucket of beer.
And you're like, it's not a six-pack.
It was only five beers.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel bad.
I don't know how they came up with that number.
It was always weird to me that it was five.
I assumed it was.
I think it was probably to save one beer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's where they made their money.
That's funny.
I hadn't thought about that in years.
I don't know why it popped into my head.
That bar that I went to on Saturday night where I was talking to, it's actually cool.
It's called lovebirds and oh lovebirds is cool it's awesome yeah beautiful and they had a huge mocktail list which i was excited about because you know
uh and they had they do the thing that i like which i can't order a mocktail on a menu if there is an alcohol version of the same drink with the same name it's impossible you can't do it it's they're gonna mess it up you're just asking yeah yeah asking to break your sobriety uh so they have individually named ones but i was surprised because i was it was like a party for emily and there were a bunch of different people there and i was just kind of hanging out by the bar and i was surprised by how many people don't drink anymore.
It's a big,
a ton of people.
I saw probably seven or eight people getting mocktails.
Gen Z is ruining the liquor industry.
Yeah, really, really.
Have you seen?
Have we talked about it on this podcast?
I'm never doesn't know anyone who's Gen Z.
What are you talking about?
I agree with that sentiment.
I do.
I do.
You're right.
I don't know if we talked, if I've talked to you about it at all, or if we've even talked about it in this podcast, but did I tell you about the mocktail-only bar that's downtown?
No, I forget what it's called.
Micah told me about Micah from Stinky Dragon.
Yeah.
Told me about it.
It's
got to work on an.
Working the Eric thing then.
It's like Congress and 10th or 11th.
There's a bar that only serves mock tales, but they're only open Fridays.
Like Fridays from like 6 p.m.
to midnight or something.
I've heard of this place.
Yeah.
Alright, it's a Congress and 10th or 11th place.
What used to be there?
Like what did it occupy?
I haven't been there, so I don't know exactly where it is.
That's why I'm vague about where it is.
Sounds like a little city.
It's probably over a little city.
Yeah, where a little city used to be or something.
Maybe where the Quiznos, no, further north of where the Quiznos was.
Maybe the settlement.
It's called.
I don't
Rest in peace, Wisnas.
But yeah, I guess it's so they only only have Mark Kelsey.
You don't have to worry about getting like an alcohol drink by accident.
But the whole like only open one night a week for a couple hours is killing.
Yeah, I mean, how can you do that?
We talked about, I think we've talked about it on this before, like previously, or maybe it was just off mic, but the like
the millennial, like, we're open Tuesdays from 12 to 3 and Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m.
And that's it.
Come to our storefront.
What the fuck are you doing?
10th in Congress, and it's called Sandsbar.
Oh, and yeah, it's open Fridays from 6 p.m.
to midnight.
That is clearly a passion project or an experiment and not something designed to make a living for somebody.
Is it also a vegan place?
No, that's all it is.
Yeah, hey, man.
Hey, let me be the first to apologize.
It's by where where the Quiznos used to be.
Okay, let's go.
Is it still a Quiznos?
I think Quiznos is still there.
It's still Quisnos.
Yeah.
There's still a Quisnos.
People downtown have to eat somewhere.
I welcome your concern.
Is Ben King's Chipotle still there?
That'd be good.
That Chipotle has always done banger business.
I can't imagine they'd be gone.
I can't either.
I haven't been down to Congress on a very long time.
There's no reason.
It's still there.
There's no reason.
This is, by the way, we should mention to the audience, we're doing a throwback episode.
This is a sit and talk at a coffee shop episode
because of shitty weather.
That's a big cookie.
Salt.
All discretion.
So throwback Gus is eating on my
doing the whole thing.
Pull that out again.
You're like the other one.
The salt is only in the middle.
Cinner salt.
It's like me.
Salty to the core.
Yeah, it's cinner salt cookie.
That's not the core.
That's the top middle.
Oh, don't start.
It's pretty core.
We've been having table discussions at work that are
maddening.
Just maddening.
Hey, if you're listening to this,
how do you think we're situated?
Yeah,
where are we in your mind table right now?
We asked Andrew, by the time this comes out in the past, but who cares?
We were like, oh yeah, what is it like in your head?
Like, what does it look like?
How we're all gathered around the table?
And then he described it, and Gavin drew it, and then he got mad at Gavin for like how he drew it, like where all the positions were.
And the changes that he made were just like, move Eric slightly.
It was like the positioning was still the same.
It was just like nudge him to the right.
It was that.
Yeah.
That was the dancing.
It was so, it was so insane.
But now it got a lot of people going, like, oh, yeah, this is actually how I picture it.
It's like, okay, that explains.
I've seen some drawings.
Exactly.
So it's like, oh, no, okay.
They've been really good.
Some of them have been very funny.
I like ones that are just like, I'm sitting directly in the middle, and everyone's talking at me.
You're the core.
It's like, I see, you're the salt right in the middle.
But we are sitting because it is.
It's terrible.
It's raining weather.
It's cold and wet.
After being
86 on Saturday.
Like two days ago.
Like, what the fuck?
That's February 9th.
It was swimming weather.
What's funny to me is I remember on that day, you know, it started getting warm.
It was in the 80s there for a little while, like late January, early February, and everyone was like, oh, that's it.
Winter's over.
It's like, oh, man, y'all don't remember me.
I have no clue.
And this four years ago in 2021, that's what happened.
It was like a warm into January, and then February 14th, the whole whole state froze over for like a week.
I'm not, yeah, I'm not, we're not scrubber
until March.
Yeah, it's, I had to, like, Jeff was mentioning my cousin, she just moved here, and I had to explain to her when she was here with her dad on Friday.
She's like, oh my god, the weather's so warm.
And then Saturday, she's like, this is awesome.
Like, spring is already here.
And I went, it's not.
I went, welcome to this is nice.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Package acting.
And then I helped her move in on Monday, and it was 55 degrees out.
And she just went, I don't know what happened.
And then I think tomorrow is going to be like 88.
And then the next day it's back to like 55.
Insane.
It's crazy.
It's like God spins a weather wheel.
What are you losers in for today?
Let's find out.
It's, yeah.
Spend a second wheel to the water.
This one is, wow, I landed on it, it just says locusts.
Oh, Christ.
You know what?
Ivan's Gen Z daughter.
She counts.
He's hanging out about that.
I'm still thinking about it.
She's been going to a lot of raves lately, which I think is weird because she's not in the ravine.
What is it, the 90s?
Yeah.
No, because they're not doing that.
Everyone does ketamine.
It's like, this sucks.
There's a weird recreational movement to like, yeah, I don't drink.
But I am doing ketamine.
It's like,
oh, that's a...
Dude.
You're like, maybe like an insane person, I think.
You can buy kratom sodas at the gas station in Austin now.
Yeah.
That's a big one, too.
Remember when you had to, like, like, you had a friend who would only smoke, maybe you guys didn't experience this.
You had a friend that would only smoke like synthetic, like, K2, synthetic weed.
And it's like,
you shouldn't do this.
There was a terrible run of that in Austin for a while, like, what, 10 years ago?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Like, people, like, it got out of hand and people were dying like crazy from that K2.
It
was previous.
Yeah, it was all like around Red River.
It was like Red River between Caesar Chavez and
that would be where it would be.
Yeah, because it was like, that stuff was fucking vile.
And this was like right when
California had like medical legal weed, but like not, like, you couldn't find it anywhere or whatever.
So there would be all like, I used to live by like this little pop-up shop in Anaheim that was like right sort of like,
if like the house was here, it's like right next, almost like next door to the house, but like across the street,
and it would just be blacked out windows.
And my roommate would go in and buy, he's like, come back with like just the shittiest weed.
And like, oh, I also got this stuff, and it's like spice, like K2.
And I'm like, well, that's, let's not, well, stay away from that.
Throw that somewhere else.
Like, that's scary.
That shit's scary.
We should, uh, we should probably say we are where we are.
Yeah.
In relation to Austin, we are in Austin.
More specifically, we are on East 7th Street, I guess, just east of the Tillery Street Bridge
at a place called Texas Coffee Traders, which has had other locations before.
I don't know if this is if they've moved or this is a new location.
I saw a thing that said that they had moved here.
Okay, so Texas Coffee Traders, I think, is related to like the coffee roaster.
And I think the roastery or something is like around here on the back or something.
But this spot's like new.
I used to get my haircut at Wyatt's just like a block over.
And then my my barber is actually just a block over from on like the other side.
You get haircut after this?
No, I'm good.
And
so I'm really familiar just later with this area, and we're right next to kind of tropical.
Yeah, we are.
That's true.
And we're next to the JMF Carpet Sale Building, which I have loved the entire time I've lived in Austin.
If it ever goes on sale and I can afford it, I want to buy it.
It's a cool building.
It is, man.
It's a run-down building.
Since we got here, I've been trying to figure out.
I ate dinner here with a bunch of friends three years ago, and I have no memory, not only what the restaurant was, but even what kind of food it was.
We sat right there.
I remember sitting right there in a long table.
It wasn't coffee.
No, it was a nice restaurant.
Something boss or
it was some kind of like work.
Oh, maybe office.
It was over that way.
It was Chu McHale's for a long time, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Way, way, way back in the day.
What did this used to be?
Anyway, it's,
I mean, it's this now.
It's a nice little coffee shop on the inside.
Where were they before?
I always think of this when I hear the name, I've never been to Texas Coffee Chair.
I was thinking of like Breicher Woods over there on Jefferson or something.
This place?
Texas Coffee Chair.
Am I wrong?
I feel like it was over on like 3rd over by the Yellow Bike Project maybe or somewhere around there.
In like a
warehouse kind of
used to be.
I mean yeah their mug says established 1994.
I felt kind of machine but I've never
been
to the other one the one I'm pointing at.
I think they have a little window.
Oh.
Texas Coffee.
Oh, yeah.
I think they had a little...
I think they were in a different spot and then they moved.
Yeah, they have like a big thing on their website that's like,
they were in a different place now.
So it's...
I love this location.
This is a part.
I really like this stretch of like 7th or 5th or Cesar Chavez.
from almost like specifically here east to 183.
It all just kind of like converges
i really like it i i just i just really like this area this is the best part of austin to me i love it it's my absolute favorite part of austin yeah it's i think it's just
it's cool it's really coming up in in terms of i liked it before they started building you know these taller black bridges or whatever but it it's like
restaurants coffee get my hair cut it kind of like cruise up and down it's just easy to get around can i complain about something oh please while we're here see that paz over there yeah that's a local.
I don't know if they're local or not, but they have multiple locations around Austin.
Paz
Paz is the name of the company that used to sell the Easter egg dyes when I was a kid and make Easter eggs.
And every time I see that sign, I'm like, why the fuck is it Easter egg?
It was Paz, wasn't it?
P-Azer, P-A-Z, PAZ.
Was it?
Yeah, it's P-A-Z.
I'm almost positive.
It does mean peace.
Hang on.
I always thought it was Paws, but I mean, I can't remember.
It's been 35.
P-A-A-S.
Oh, is that how it's spelled?
Yeah.
That there you go.
Warm diffused.
Yeah.
All right.
I thought we were about to have an explosion here.
Paws, you live another day.
Good for them.
Should I take my dog?
Not to this one, but I honestly, I didn't know this one was here.
I might take him to this one.
Everywhere I take my everywhere is because Emily cuts somebody's hair.
So I take my dog to the place where Emily cuts the vet's hair,
which is not pause.
Or P-A-A-S.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's, it's like a local vet.
It's great.
Like, they're fantastic.
There's one here.
I think there's one down on Lake Caesar Chavez.
There's one way out west where
I had to get like a dog MRI for his brain or whatever.
And then there's one like a little north and one northwest.
Yeah, they're all over the place.

You ever eaten at a Freddy's?
No, I've seen it.
I've passed it all the time.
I've never been to one.
It's a place for 100% eat that's always on the short list, but we never want to drive to like Pflugerville to go get it.
I ate there for the first time the other day.
I'm bringing this up because we're talking about dog stuff.
Which location?
You might want to get there.
Okay, okay.
Albert has to get allergy shots now.
So I have to administer them.
Two allergy shots every three days for the next year.
Okay.
Right.
And so I had to go and get all these vials at the allergy shot place, and it's up in Round Rock.
But it's this weird, just off of 35, just west of 35, but you get off and you're immediately in a roundabout.
And then if you like, you pop out of the roundabout and then you are at the allergen, dog allergist.
But then when you pop out, you basically have to go through a Freddy's parking lot to get back to 35.
It's really weird the way the circle is.
Smart.
And so Emily and I were like, oh, let's just fucking eat a burger here.
So I got a hot dog.
Perfect delivery.
She got a burger.
Good.
And they, when you're ordering it, they were just like, what can I, I was like, I'll take a chili cheese dog.
And they're like, okay, do you want onions?
And I go, yeah, of course.
And then she goes, I'll take a cheeseburger.
And they go, do you want onions?
And she goes, yeah, of course.
And then Eric's laughing because he knows the story.
Then we just pulled over into the parking lot and we ate our burger and hot dog and then we drove home and we went into the house or whatever put the dog away did some stuff had to get back in the car like an hour later and the car smelled so intensely of onions we couldn't drive around in it we had to roll the windows down we had to try to air it out yeah we like for breeze we did dog pets like dog smell stuff pet odor eliminator and
The long story short that's been told over regulation is we spent four days trying to air the car out and it's still
to this day still smells a little bit like onions.
I don't understand.
I've never experienced anything like this in my life.
It was like if you ever want to fuck somebody's world up,
take some diced onions and just put them in like a little onion, like a little boat, you know, like a hot dog tray and just stick it under their car seat like grumpy old men with the fish style, it will ruin their month.
I don't understand like
when you when you looked at it, were you just like, holy shit, this is like an insane amount of onions.
Emily said, that's a lot of onions.
It didn't look like a lot to me on my hot dog, but I like a lot of onions.
But I think these are potent onions.
Like, we're going to try to recreate it with regulation.
Yeah, here's the back half of the idea.
Here's what he's driving at now.
He's like, well, we got most of the smell out.
What if we do it again?
And then we like,
yeah, and then see what we can do to get the smell out.
And also see if we can recreate it.
Like, was it a one-time thing or the onions so insane at that place?
I'm sure they're so insane.
I'm sure it's going to come back.
Yeah,
and I know it's going to suck suck and it's going to ruin my car for a little while but i'll get past it and it'll be great content what did your wife say when you told her your idea she wasn't into it yeah
that's why she said that's a terrible idea
because she just went through the same thing yeah you know i
it was hell
so we're gonna ruin
we popped the trunk and or the hatchback and rolled down all windows on sunday and let the car sit like that from 9 a.m until like 8 p.m and it's still and even for breeze didn't do it i feel like for breeze even for breeze the next day we we got it, and we were like, oh, fuck.
This can't be real.
Like, we went and vacuumed under the seats and stuff just in case there were hidden onions we couldn't find.
Hidden onions?
I just, I can't imagine it's like that many onions or they were that strong?
Dude, I don't know, but we got to find out.
It can't be an isolated incident.
I would love to see how many onions were in this.
Yeah, we need to.
It didn't seem like it didn't rise to the take-a-photo level.
We need to do this,
And then a couple days later, we need Gus to determine if it still smells like nuts.
I can be an onion.
Pinch nose.
Gus has to be the onion arbiter.
It's pretty good.
Well, we're going to go, I think, next Monday, and we got to go open
our 300th checking account or whatever for the business.
That sounds fun.
Yeah.
When we do that, we had to reincorporate.
Hey, going back to like season one where we just talked about what it's like to start these businesses.
Uh,
we do reincorporate and do like all like this other business stuff, and that's fine, it just costs money, and then you have to like,
okay, this business checking account can't be the same as the other one, and all this.
And it's like, okay, well, then it's just like once you make it, the accountants handle it all, yeah, you just have to go through the painful process of like getting it all set up.
And then I'm sure you guys didn't go through this, but when you have like
when there's like a certain percent of ownership in this thing, you all have to be be there to open the account.
And it's like, okay,
yeah.
So it's like, we can't just go and like have one person go, like, I'm just going to open this thing and we'll just get it done.
It's like, okay, what day are we all available?
And then instead of getting an answer for that, everyone starts doing a bit when it's like trying to get an answer.
And it's like, I think I'll just like jump off cliff.
And then after like, then after like, and it's through no fault of his own, but then after like 20 minutes of trying to wrangle Gavin and going through the whole thing, Nick pops in and goes, uh, I have to take Archie to something.
he's got a real reason not to yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so it's uh so you need so everyone or you need how many percent
everybody if if everybody for the company if if the owners own at least 25 of the company then everyone must be present for the creation of the account and and this is less than 25 you don't so regulation
regulation company wasn't a problem regulation management it's a problem it's because they it's due to okay we all started llcs because it's just, here's what we do.
We're just going to start a company and now we have limited liability.
Great.
We just started it.
And then you talk to the accountants and they go, this is great to start.
You need to like be an S-Corp.
Yep.
And you go, okay.
And so you start doing all this revision stuff.
And then you revise it and they go, great, you did it.
So you need to open another banking account.
And you go, ah, I'm in hell.
And it's all just because of the Canada of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With us, we're lucky.
There's seven of us.
Yeah.
So
you just send, so you just send Ben, and then it gets done.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Problem solved.
Season one of this show, or I guess like the Good Morning, Gustavo, the first eight episodes of the reboot, whatever.
Volume one.
Those are coming out now.
By the time this is out, they're all out, and you're listening to this now.
But it's been pretty well received.
How do you guys feel about that?
I cannot look at my Apple Watch the same way again.
Do you all wear your watch to sleep?
No.
Okay.
I have mine set up and when it goes off in the morning, when my alarm goes off in the morning, not my phone that goes off, my watch starts buzzing.
And I have to hit like stop to like turn off the alarm on my watch.
And I hit stop and then the screen pops up and it says, good morning, Gustavo.
So it's a,
it's changed the way I look at my watch every morning.
I'm not in the best mood when
my alarm goes off.
I understand.
Okay, podcasting.
That's why you were late today.
You had to calm down from the bottom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You already take a second.
You woke up fired up.
I was not just shot out of a cannon.
Yeah, but like, people are into it.
People are glad that you
decided to come back for that reboot run of it.
And
it was really fun.
I feel like we made a lot of really fun changes to the show, too.
The walk and talk stuff has been really cool.
Yeah.
Wish we were doing it today.
Yeah, really?
See a little more of the area.
Yeah.
Talk about it.
You know what it kind of reminds me of, and for no reason, like it not necessarily working toward anything, but just the vibe of it is when gus moved to puerto rico uh-huh he was living with me at the time before you moved i believe right yeah yeah for like the last couple months last couple months and he was gonna go move with his you know live with his mom and stepdad in puerto rico for like a year and a half or two years or whatever your your uh tour was and uh
before he left at this time i was actually vegan i had been vegan for a little bit and gus uh gus was like listen i'm gonna leave i'm gonna leave in austin in like a month and i want to enjoy all of my favorite places one more time.
And I want to do it with you.
And
don't fuck it up.
Don't fuck it up for me.
So I was like, yeah, okay, no problem.
So I stopped being vegan.
Watch him eat a bunch of bacon in front of me.
But we did this tour of Austin where we just went to all of our favorite spots and kind of like enjoyed them one more time together.
And I feel that vibe from this podcast in the best ways.
It really is nice.
It's fun because I think people typically will take for granted their favorite spots, right?
it's like, oh, yeah, that place, like, I go every now and then.
Maybe like you know it's a good spot, you know it's your favorite spot, but you don't necessarily go all the time.
Like, to then have like all favorites back-to-back is like a fun way to do things.
Yeah, let me let me ask you a question right now.
If I say
just off the top of your head, and it can be anything,
probably food or coffee related, but it doesn't have to be.
What is your favorite spot in Austin right now?
Right now,
I think perpetually my favorite spot in Austin
is
Mayfield Park.
Okay.
Really?
Because it's like quiet off the beaten path and just like a chill place to hang out.
Yeah.
Interesting.
That's a great answer.
How about you, Eric?
I don't know.
It might be the baseball field where I go play baseball with friends.
I think that's like legitimately my favorite.
We got it all worked out to
we get there and do our thing and have fun.
And I think it's like legitimately my favorite place to go in Austin, which isn't a very Austin thing, probably, but I
love it.
I love going to this baseball park where we, it's where we hit, where you hit dingers
the first time.
It's just started putting them over the fence and we had to dig through.
That was a funny thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's probably, that's probably my favorite place.
Yeah.
What's your, what's yours?
I think I'm torn.
The first thing that comes to mind is Descada Tacas, the taco trailer.
I just really like them.
And it's But when I think of Austin, it's just the first thing.
But I'd say probably Town Lake is where I spend
a trail.
It's probably where I spend most of my free time.
And so
I like that place a lot.
Like I try to enjoy it almost every day if I can.
Yeah.
Not today, obviously.
It's a little harder when the weather's like this, but the weather doesn't feel like it's like this very
much.
Yeah.
Right?
I remember, and it could just be memories wrong, memories fucked up.
But I remember for some reason, whenever I would think winter in Austin when I was younger, this is what I always remember.
Like, it would just be like kind of overcast and rainy off and on for a month or two, and that was it.
You know, looking back historically, I'm sure that wasn't accurate, but for some reason in my mind, when I think of like winter in Austin, that's this is what I always think of.
It's like this right here, what we're sitting in.
Huh.
It's it's gloomy, but in a way that I like.
Just means you can't go outside and play.
Like that, that's all it is.
But I don't,
I don't mind when it's like cold, brisk cold like this instead of like 34 degrees or whatever.
I'd much rather have this.
It's not terrible.
It's 53.
Like it's cold, but it's not like brutal.
Yeah, it's like a Michigan summer, right?
And it's also,
it would be very unfair of us to complain about it because we get this for like three weeks throughout four, like three months.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you roll the dice and you hope that the wheel doesn't land on ice apocalypse.
Yeah.
You don't end up stuck in your house with no power.
Jesus.
That was crazy.
It did, it snowed one time this year, and it was so brief.
Yeah.
And then it was just gone.
Is that
just crazy that it did?
Because I would say the first 12 years I lived here, it snowed once.
Yeah.
It was like super rare.
And what's crazy to me is the people I see like in the Austin subreddit, like, oh, I'm going to get more snow.
I missed the snow.
I wish there was more snow.
It's like, fuck you.
Move to where the snow is somewhere.
Don't wish it here.
We're going to get destroyed.
We're not built for this.
It's like in Houston when it snowed and they went like, hey, please don't drip your faucets.
We can't handle you doing that.
You're gonna, it's gonna fuck up the water pressure everywhere.
There was a
like see the mayor when they're like, what is your plan?
Yeah.
It's gonna melt.
Yeah.
We're gonna let the snow melt.
What we don't have anything else
we're not prepared for this?
No.
It's not, that's not what you're built for down there.
That's just not what it is.
I was living in Houston.
It was when I, my, my year in college, in January of 97, and they had a brutal ice storm back then.
And I remember it was the same kind of thing that always happens here where it was like it rained and then it froze and then it snowed and everything was just like covered in ice.
And I remember when it finally started thawing, all the ice on the skyscrapers downtown started falling off in huge sheets.
So they had to tell people like don't walk downtown.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I want to say like three weeks after I moved to Austin, moved back to Austin after I came back out of the army, there was an ice storm.
So this would have been like 98, maybe, late 98.
And I remember remember watching the local news, and I just moved from New Jersey, where we deal with ice and snow all the time.
And there was just like a little bit of ice, so it didn't even affect me at the time.
And I watched the news, there were 700 accidents.
I remember thinking, How is it possible that a 700 accident?
Like, what do you do?
You just get in your car and you just hit the road and start screaming.
Like, what do you
think?
The correct general direction, but you get there eventually.
I got
it's like it's 1998.
You're just like,
I got to get to Casino El Calino.
I don't want to walk.
It's cold.
I'm going to put my car in this condition.
Dude, I'm going to run inside and get another cup of coffee.
I'm going to leave that here with you.
I'll be right back.
So that's the talk shit about Eric portion.
Come on.
No, no, no.
Yeah,
it'll be all right.
But I think I did the same thing.
Maybe around that time.
No, it would have been a little later.
Where it's like, I got in a car when I absolutely should not have and tried to drive on the ice and everything.
Yeah.
It was definitely later the next.
I remember I drove to Buta one time for red versus blue stuff.
And I remember getting to Buta, getting to the office and be like, what the fuck did I do that?
Like, I could have died on the way down here.
But that's probably, God, if it was in Buda, it's probably 05, 06, maybe.
When were we in Buta?
We were there from 0.
When did we start?
03?
03.
To
0?
No.
We, all right, we were in Bowie's house for a year and a half.
I think we did after.
We We were downtown in 08.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah, we were downtown in 08.
We moved downtown in 08.
I remember that.
I do remember that.
Okay.
Yeah, season five.
That's the way I always remember it.
Just in time for the financial crash.
God, we were in Beautiful for that long.
We were there for five years.
It sucked.
It's
driving.
You know, when you're going through it in real time, it just feels like life, right?
Obviously, time truncates things.
But when you go back and you look at those chunks of...
We talked about this previously on a previous episode about what was your favorite era of your company.
But those eras were so, such large chunks of our life that are just, you look back at them, they're so compressed.
Five years is a long fucking time.
Five years is the entire time I was in the army, which was a long,
long time to be in the army.
And five years was just beautiful.
Then we had like seven offices after that, it feels like.
Yeah.
That's nuts.
And now, like Palpatine, it's back from the grave.
It's somehow restricted.
My favorite thing is watching, looking at the memes and all the stuff people make about its return.
My favorite thing is getting asked if we're going to...
Regulation is going to be a part of it over and over and over and over again.
Being like at first like, oh, that's kind of cool.
It's coming back.
And then be like, oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a reason I was okay with it going away.
Which is, by the way, the thing that I knew would be the most annoying and the thing that I've been telling people to get ready for when I knew that this launch was coming.
And the thing that I...
It's frustrating, right?
Because it comes from such a place of excitement and love you know and you you're so jazzed for everybody to be so jazzed and i'm jazzed about you know roost teeth coming back too but uh
yeah it gets i i get a taste of what ray's life has been like
i get it that's
what what's weird to me is like all
like the conspiracy theory connection stuff i see people put through put together and like i used i know you saw it too because you commented also with someone who was like maybe the reason anima took so long to come back and it still says copyright roost teeth productions is it's going to secretly launch with the new Rooster Teeth.
And it's like, no, no,
no.
Don't.
Yes.
That's what's happening.
The reason it took so long to come back is because it's not a priority.
We all had businesses.
We had to start companies from scratch.
Companies that will pay us because Rooster Teeth went away, by the way.
Hey, how come the podcast that doesn't make any money hasn't come back yet?
Let me see where that is on my priority list.
All these people didn't go into stasis.
They still needed to eat and go to the doctor.
And it still says Rooster Teeth Productions on it because none of us made that image.
Yeah, who
cares?
Nobody's asked me to remake it.
Exactly.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's like
the thing that really gets me isn't the people
asking,
hey, are they going to go back?
People are dumb.
They're going to ask.
It's fine.
The one that gets me is people saying,
have they said anything about if they're going to go back?
You don't have to ask that to other people.
You can have a look.
Also, who's going to know that?
Yeah.
No one else is going to know.
Well, it's funny,
a Stinky Dragon, when that came out, you know, there was initial discussion, like, oh, should we put out like a statement or something?
Yeah.
It's like, no, no.
We don't have to.
But then after seeing everything, it was like, yeah, you all are right.
We need to say something.
I just hopped on stream and I just spent all day on stream just answering questions.
I thought that was such a good idea.
Very politely.
But what we've started doing too
is naming all of our, when we do like our our Friday streams and stuff or anytime we do a live stream, we just name our stream.
No, we're not going back to order stream.
And then people have to see the title.
Yeah, we're doing a race style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got to start screaming, let's play, and then we're good.
Yeah.
It's it's cool.
Have it come back and do their stuff, whatever it's going to be,
but it doesn't have anything to do with this show or regulation or anything like that.
I imagine by the time this episode comes out, a lot of that will, there will have been elucidation on all of that.
And there's probably already
been announced or in the works.
But who knows?
Yeah.
Because we don't.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I haven't got it.
I don't know when the fuck this is coming out.
Well, this might be 2027.
Nah, this will be out.
If we keep on a run like this, this will be out in like April.
Okay.
I think.
Which would be great.
Yeah.
I was picturing like next presidential election.
Just kidding.
There's not going to be one.
There's not going to be one, buddy.
It's one of the low-key hardest things about doing the kind of production that we do, especially when you do multiple productions where there's bleedover and you're recording and batch recording in the, in advance, your timeline of events is so wonky and you don't want to like tip your, the hat to something, but then you're like, so you got to try to figure out where this fits on the timeline, but the timeline's constantly shifting too.
And then other people's timelines are shifting.
I'm sure Rooster Teeth's timeline is going to shift as well.
So just like trying to match all that shit up.
A lot of times when the audience is like, I don't know why they didn't discuss that or talk about it.
It's because we recorded it at a weird time where it wasn't germane to what we were talking about or we don't know we don't want to put our foot in our mouth and that's that's it i i think it's a thing where you steal somebody's thunder yes we don't want it's not our place to talk about a bunch of like these different things because it's not
ours to discuss not ours and then by the time it comes out everyone's discussing it and it and it could be ours to discuss but when we recorded it in september of last year it wasn't right and that's just how that's how this is And it's also not ours to discuss.
I mean, like, Bernie came to me and offered me the opportunity to, you know, participate in the reacquisition of Rooster Teeth, and I said, no, you know, I kind of, I feel like I forfeited a lot of that ability to talk about it.
By just choosing not to participate.
He didn't ask me.
It's weird.
Doesn't even know who you are.
Yeah.
I think he does, to his detriment.
I think you were on the list.
It was just lower.
And he was totally.
And there was a line.
It was much lower.
Dot, dot, dot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's people you've never heard of, people you never thought he would ask, and then I'm just, I'm right here, right at the bottom.
Eric, who?
I kind of want to talk about Texas coffee traders and everything.
You got the iced coffee on a cold day, which is
your prerogative and what you do typically.
Do you get a regular hot coffee or do you have a coffee?
I got a hot Americano.
And then I'm on my second cup of coffee, but you guys both got the salted cookie.
Oh, you got a cookie too?
Yeah.
You cooking?
Yeah, I cook.
How's the cookie?
It was fine.
Yeah, it's totally fine.
It was a bottom, like just right down the middle.
C plus, B minus cookie.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
But all the salts on it.
In the middle, in the core.
I don't know about the core.
The core would be inside.
It doesn't matter.
It's just like having cookie crisp cereal all over again.
With salt.
I'm an adult now.
Everyone used to salt your cereal?
Your mom would be like, that's too much salt.
Look at the food pyramid, that little cereal with that salt.
Uh, I got a chocolate croissant that was good, but it's you know, like a chocolate croissant, it's got two little chocolate pieces in it, and then it's a big croissant.
I'm sure they don't make the baked goods here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
it's not Texas bakery traders, that's right, that's tell them guys.
They probably traded coffee that's on the baked goods because they're traders.
Uh, what did you think of the coffee?
Salted, yeah.
I mean, not the best cup of coffee, not the worst.
I mean, it's a, it's good.
It's just like a, if you think of like
standard cup of coffee,
standard Americano, I would say.
7.9
iced coffee.
It was good.
Yeah.
It was good.
Would it have like flavor to it?
Was it coffee?
It was coffee.
Yeah.
Just a cold brew, but it was good.
I would come here, you know, 7.98 right around there.
Yeah.
If, if I lived around here, this place specifically would be like an issue.
I'll tell you something else has got going for it.
Yeah.
Most coffee shops in Austin no longer have.
This has got, it seems to have ample parking.
There's plenty.
I rolled right in.
I was like, oh man, am I gonna have to like park on the street?
I rolled right in, right into a spot, and it was like, oh, this rocks.
Also, not just ample parking, there's a ton of places to sit.
We're on a side, like back patio with a dozen of like these tables.
What appears to be a bar?
Like, what are, like, what?
Yeah, that's like a bar.
It's like a bar.
And then the inside is like so cozy and warm.
And
it's lit really well.
That felt like what when you think of like coffee shop, not the stark white, like what they've become where it's like this very Apple store.
Yeah, where everything's like boxy and white and like that.
This is not, did you notice none of the chairs matched?
All of the chairs were comfortable chairs, but none of them were the same.
It looked like the way my house looked in college where it was just like, dude, they threw out all these chairs.
Or you believe it did.
We got all these fucking free chairs.
They've got a guest book, too, and I signed it.
Okay, so you can come to Texas Coffee Traders and you can see Gus signing the guest book on the inside, letting you know that we were here.
Yeah, it's dated.
We're not going to say what date we recorded this.
If you want to know what date it was, you got to come to Texas Coffee Traders and see this book.
Come on, yeah.
I put the wrong date on it.
I just realized.
I didn't know.
Did you really?
Yeah.
I just realized right now.
I got to go back in and correct it.
I put yesterday's date on it.
You're an idiot.
I don't know know why I would just click like, uh-oh, I put the wrong date.
Dude, that's so funny.
This is a great spot, and I hope this spawns more stuff.
Like, if you are listening to this and you close your eyes and you think of, like, a cozy coffee shop with, like, good coffee, this is exactly it.
Do you think if a car was going over the bridge here fast enough and went out of control, they could jump that little berm and then land right here overseas?
No, it would go, they would go too fast and shoot right over us, and they would go.
Yeah, and then they would land perfectly in a spot.
I was just looking at it and thinking, like, wow, that's, you know, you don't really see.
Oh, it's you're talking about a road?
It is, it's just a burnt, like, I've driven over that road a bunch of times.
You don't see shit coming over like that.
It's like a really small, like little hill.
There's no guardrail.
There's no nothing.
It's just well, luckily it's like the roads are slick today too.
So
don't have to worry about it.
Yeah.
So I recommend this place too.
I think their drip coffee is like, hey, get it for here and then pour it yourself.
They have a whole station, whatever.
I got the light wrist and the medium wrist.
Both are really good.
What were you doing in 1994 when they started the technical
value 94 i was 16 years old that year so i was still in high school i was um god i was probably like desperately wanting a girlfriend
after me
if uh if i had to guess no yeah it was uh it was definitely still in high school what were you doing in 94 uh 1994 would have been
i i was
I don't want to give away our February date because you got to go to the fucking
guest book
scribble where you wrote the wrong date and then crossed it out and put the right date.
I'm going to check something.
I think I know exactly what I was doing today, actually.
I'm going to double check something.
I was graduating from journalism school in the Army and I was moving to just outside of Austin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or sorry, Fort Cavazos.
Although I read this morning that in their infinite political wisdom, they want to rename all the renamed military bases back to the bullshit racist names that they were before.
So that's cool.
I'm glad they're doing that.
Very important.
The hard-hitting stuff, you know, really getting to the stuff that needs to get fixed.
Names,
unnaming names that had been renamed.
But yeah, so I would have just been, I would have just been moving to Texas, actually, right now.
That's crazy.
That's awesome.
So what were you doing?
I looked it up, and I was off by a little bit, but
this, you said it's a February date.
It's right before my birthday.
And I thought it was my 16th birthday where I got a copy of X-Wing, the PC game.
Dude, hell yeah.
Dude, that game was bro.
But it came out in 93.
So it was my 15th birthday before I got that.
So
God, that's it.
I was probably still playing X-Wing at this point.
I was probably sitting at my Packard Bell 486 computer.
Dude, honestly, me too.
That game.
So cool.
Did you have the stick and everything for it?
Dude, it was so me too.
It was so God.
Put the shields forward, put them back.
It was like, that's all I ever want from like a Star Wars thing where it's like, oh yeah, you get to do like this specific thing and it's Star Wars.
And then now it's just become like this huge expanded thing where it's like games that don't have to do with anything or the same three fucking movies over and over.
And you just go, okay, I don't think I need this anymore.
It's weird how I've outgrown Star Wars in my lifetime to something I wanted so desperately everything to be.
And now I have no care or thought of it whatsoever.
Yeah.
At all.
Well, they've also, I feel like it's even when we were younger, like the whole thing has pivoted to be much younger skewing.
Yes, definitely.
Like a lot of Disney Plus shows.
Yeah.
But
that is from an era of PC games where there's something I do not miss, which like I legally had X-Wing.
I legally had that game.
Right.
But it's like every time you launch the game, it asked you, it showed you like codes.
And it's like you have to look in the manual, like on page, whatever, to see like what planet is this code for.
And then at some point, I lost the manual.
You lose that manual, the little wheel they give you.
You are fucked up.
So it's like, I had luckily, I had played enough of the game by that point.
I had like six of the planets memorized.
I would have to launch the game, be like, okay, I recognize this one.
Type it in.
I don't recognize it.
Fuck, okay, quit the game, relaunch it.
Like, hope it's one that I recognize.
That's cool.
Open the DOS prompt to get that thing booted back up.
Okay, pretty cool.
Are you playing anything right now?
Man, I'm still playing Factorial Space Age, which is like
the boring, nerdiest thing in the world.
I know.
Sorry.
No, no, that's a good idea.
It's a great game.
It's so good.
I can't get enough to play it.
Do you play it every day?
Pretty much, yeah.
I've played it in the last day or two.
I need to get back on it.
I didn't realize how much Call of Duty I've been playing until last night.
This guy's a maniac.
I mean, I play a lot of Call of Duty, right?
But I was playing with Bernie and Antonio, and Antonio was like, let's look at our stats.
I never looked at the stats page.
And he's like, oh, I got like 6,000 kills.
Yeah.
And Bernie was like, oh, dude, I got 8,000 kills.
And I was like, oh, that's cool.
Let me see.
Oh, shit.
I have 28,000 kills.
Oh, my God.
You're just an elite pro-level player.
No, no, no.
28,000 kills, 27,000 deaths.
I do have positive positive KD.
I do have positive KD, but it's just, I didn't realize how much.
How many prestiges?
I'm on number eight right now.
Yeah, and you didn't realize it?
Yeah, but it goes so fast.
This guy's a psycho.
We came up.
Did we tell you the idea for the Jeff's smoke grenade idea?
I don't think so.
I mean, the video's out
along, so go back and rewatch it or whatever.
This was such a good idea.
There's a map.
The smallest map in the New Call of Duty is called Stakeout.
And it's a house.
And it's just like the house is a square and you kind of run around the side, and then there's a hole in the middle that you kind of don't go to.
And it's just like a kitchen on one side, kitchen on the other, hallways, right?
So it's just like intense combat constantly.
It is every, it's like, it's the new version of what used to be called Shoot House, I think.
Everybody loves it.
It's all everybody plays.
They have a playlist that's just stakeout 24-7.
That's all I play.
And
because I've played the game so much, I'm learning a lot about the perks and the equipment.
And I realized that with a smoke grenade, when you throw a smoke grenade, which nobody throws in the game usually, when you throw a smoke grenade in that house, you can fog up a room really fast and it lasts an annoyingly long amount of time.
So long.
But you only get like one smoke grenade as your equipment.
But there's all these different perks and stuff you can turn on so that you can resupply yourself.
So you can essentially give yourself four at once.
And then if you take, it's a 6v6 map, right?
So if you and everybody on your team all kits your character out like this and you all have smoke grenades and you can keep resupplying yourself and each other, you can keep the entire map smoked so that nobody can see or play the entire game.
It's the coolest idea.
It's the dumbest thing.
It's awesome.
You just spawn, throw smoke grenades until somebody kills you.
Spawn, throw smoke grenades.
If nobody kills you, jump off the map so you can respawn to throw more smoke grenades.
And then it's just like smoke.
And just people run around furious.
You are...
It's you're playing again.
You and your whole team go in with this idea.
You are playing against people that do not know what's about to happen.
and they run into the room and can't see shit, and then they turn around, and now it's smoky, and everyone's just blindfiring.
You're playing a different game.
Yeah.
Awesome.
So you call it smoke out.
And then you just, yeah, the entire both sides, both hall, the whole thing, you can smoke.
It's so fun.
And it never goes away.
It is like the only way I want to play Call of Duty.
It's so fun.
I loved it.
I loved it.
It's throwing smoke grenades and then running in and dying and going, oh, I respond immediately.
Throwing more smoke grenades.
Dude, it's so funny.
I love that shit.
I love playing the game.
Exactly.
There's nothing better than finding ways to be a dickhead in video games.
Yeah, that's great.
Especially for something like Club Happen, by the way.
Yeah, that's true.
Playing the game role.
That's essentially what it was.
Don't listen to the rules.
Don't listen to how they want you to play the game.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm an independent thinker.
Do a podcast and I'm just asking questions.
Nothing wrong with that.
We should probably wrap this one up.
This is
been good.
I like getting out to
phone drinking.
What the fuck, dude?
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, call him back.
This has been great.
Getting to a coffee shop that's a
cool coffee shop.
Yeah.
I really like this spot a lot.
I would really recommend this.
This place is awesome.
This place is really, really cool.
If you're in from out of town, I don't know that I'd recommend this because it's not...
It's kind of out, like away from stuff.
And you're not, unless you're going to go here and then like hop a block over to like kind of tropical or, you know, whatever.
There's a barbecue place over here.
You're on your way back to the airport?
Yeah, yeah, right.
Honestly, that's when you should hop in and like check it out.
But if you live in Austin, this is worth your time.
I think this spot's a great place to come work.
Yeah.
I might do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know it's here.
This used to be one of like the routes you would take to the airport.
Yes.
Before they had like the freeway totally built out.
Is this where Gus's used to be?
Yeah.
This is.
Yeah.
This place was named after you.
It was.
It was not named with the same name.
I wouldn't say same name.
Yeah.
yeah, whatever.
Did you ever come here?
No, I never did anything
when it was Gus's.
I never did.
I had enough of you.
We didn't talk about it, but Flitch Coffee is just on the back side of this, too.
Yeah.
And we'd been there.
I think we went there for an episode.
That's one of my favorite places as well, too.
Just that little area.
It's a great little outdoor and really
pretty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's really cool.
And then this is a great little spot.
I really recommend it.
That's awesome.
Yeah, this is a good one.
This was fun.
I like that we're getting to this season a little bit quicker quicker than we were the first time.
But this is episode two.
So we have six more to determine if we are going to, yes or are we still doing that?
Oh, yeah, we should absolutely still do it.
Are we still doing that, Jeff?
We've got to create some tension.
Yeah.
Create some moonlighting.
At the end of it, if you don't know what we're talking about, yeah.
And give ourselves an easy out.
Yeah, right.
At the end of the last episode, we will all say whether we want to continue this podcast or not.
If there is one no, there's no argument.
There's no trying to convince anyone.
It's just that's it.
That's the end of it.
Handshakes and hugs.
And that's, yep.
Well, handshakes at least.
We leave happy.
Handshakes and kisses.
Ooh.
Uh-huh.
But yeah, this has been great.
This is a good episode.
A great spot for this and everything.
Any
final thoughts, parting words for the people out there?
Think for yourself.
Take it.
We're doing
this.
Dude, the next six episodes of this are going to be real cool.
You got some thoughts.
You're going to like Alex Jones did or whatever.
You're going to be like big and red.
You're just going to get big and red.
Bigger and redder.
It is fun to watch that guy swell over the years.
Yeah.
Austin Public Access to where he is now.
And just feel like if you just walk up to him
with a needle, you just poke him and it'll go, boom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like real spurting blood.
Yeah.
You.
Well, this is.
Like an overcooked sausage.
He's going to split on his own.
Yeah.
This has been good morning, Gustavo.
And
I think that's it.
We'll see you next time.
TTFN.
Bye.
Bye.
You say you'll never join the Navy.
That living on a submarine would be too hard.
You'd never power a whole ship with nuclear energy.
Never bring a patient back to life.
Or play the national anthem for a sold-out crowd.
Joining the Navy sounds crazy.
Saying never actually is.
