Communication Challenges
00:00:19
Speaker
We're back again. What's up? In the backlog, baby. We back. We back. As with our regularly scheduled program, unlike last week, this is the podcast for TalkSauce. By TalkSauce. I bet we fucked you guys up a little bit, though. Yeah. He was really good at saying it. Fucked me up at the beginning. That's what I was. That was a little bit confusing. Yeah. A little peek under the curtain. That's what I was confused about, because Bo's sending me some. I didn't know what he was talking about with the messages.
00:00:49
Speaker
But then we screwed up the
Secrets and Recording Limits
00:00:50
Speaker
way. Because I was typing and talking, so I wasn't being very clear because I was also talking with you. I was trying to process what you were saying and also have interesting conversation for the podcast. And we failed on all ends. All counts. Failure. But we made it through it. I'm feeling pretty good. No more secrets.
High School Reunion Dilemma
00:01:15
Speaker
Yeah, so we ended last episode on, well, we still have the bit.
00:01:20
Speaker
that not everyone has figured out yet. Oh, yeah. True. So we still have one secret for some of you, not all of you. It's not even a secret though, really.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, if people would find out what it was, if people found out what it was, we'd tell you if you were right. Yeah. So you just have to find it yourself. Hey, did you notice that Zincaster limits our recording time now? No, to how long? Do you see it? It says 89 minutes at the top right. But I think. It doesn't say that for me. Oh, really? I guess it's just because I own the room.
Concert Experiences
00:01:53
Speaker
You're like the host or whatever. So I think we have two hours of total recording time.
00:01:58
Speaker
which is plenty. That's ample. Unless we do a megapod. Yeah. We'll do a two hour one for a special episode. That'd be awesome. That would be sick. It'd be like our COVID hangs. Yeah. We're just getting hammered in Zoom. That was awesome. Dude, you remember you shotgunned a white call in the bathtub?
00:02:23
Speaker
That was probably like three years ago. That was when you felt bad like walking around outside with one friend. Yeah, like going to like the grocery store was kind of like an ordeal. What a
Travel Plans to Ireland and Amsterdam
00:02:42
Speaker
fucking crazy time. The thing that I wanted to ask you about at the end of last episode, which is kind of funny because I was talking to my roommate about
00:02:51
Speaker
He, we literally, he brought his up. It's happening with his school, but I wanted to ask you about it. So it's kind of funny that we were talking about it and then I was going to ask you about it anyways. So drum roll for everyone wondering what I was going to ask Jack a week ago. Are you on Facebook?
00:03:13
Speaker
Yeah, you're on Facebook. Um, I got added to a Facebook group relatively recently and it's like, Oh, I think I'm on this group. It's like our high school or something. And like people are like planning a high school reunion. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that. Have you seen that? Um, yeah, I saw it a little while ago, but I don't know what's going on with it. No, I was, I was curious where you stood. How do you feel about the tenure? Are you going to go? I don't really want to.
00:03:43
Speaker
Yeah, that's kind of how I feel, man. I feel like if I, if I still had family, like, well, my sister lives in Dallas because my parents still lived in Dallas. It was like easier to get to Dallas. I would be more open to it. But I'm like, I have to like take a whole trip to Dallas for it. I'm like, I don't know, man. Yeah, I don't know, man. Like I feel like.
00:04:06
Speaker
I think most of the time, I don't know how
TV Shows Discussion: Ted Lasso and Succession
00:04:09
Speaker
you feel about this, but generally if I see a random-ass person from high school, and I guess it'll be different because it'll be some people that I was friends with kind of, but if I see a random person, usually I'm like, oh no, that's someone from high school. I don't know. Yeah. Well, that probably happens to you more than it happens to me. I'm trying to think of the last person I ran into from fucking
00:04:34
Speaker
It's pretty rare for me too, to be honest. I'd imagine so. Austin's a big city, so it's like, how often are you running into... I can't remember the last time I ran into someone from high school, actually. It's been a while. It's definitely happened to me, just coincidentally. I've made efforts to hang out with people from high school in New York, but just running into someone.
00:04:54
Speaker
I don't know. I don't really get that dread. I mean, of course it would depend on who the person was, you know, but I wouldn't like say it's a dread necessarily. But I'm not usually like, Oh, what's up, you know? Yeah, I mean, I would be friendly. Yeah. I don't
Critique of Game of Thrones Finale
00:05:14
Speaker
mean to say that I'm like a dick. No, I get it. I get it. I do. I understand why you're putting myself in like a situation with like a bunch of those people that are like,
00:05:23
Speaker
It seems like overload. I don't want to go back to being in high school for a night. I'm like, I'm good. I have my friends from high school that I'm still friends with. I think that's a part of it too is I'm still like,
00:05:39
Speaker
I don't keep up with everyone quite as much as I should, but I'm still decently in touch with a good amount of people from high school, and it's my primary, who I would call my close friends. And I feel like most of the time, I would just want to see my close friends anyway. Yeah, and I'm sure there are people I'd be psyched to see if I went to a high school reunion, but then I'm also just like, I don't know, man. I think I'm good on it. But I was curious, because I was curious where you stood. It's crazy that it's been 10 years, though.
00:06:08
Speaker
Yeah, I mean it is wild like I sent something Kelly the other day like acid rap turned 10 years old like on sunday My freshman year of college I listened to that like 10 000 times. Oh, yeah, dude I listened to it when I saw that post. It's like I haven't listened to fucking acid rapping forever. Oh good, dude It's still so good It bummed me out on like who chance the rapper kind of became afterwards because then it's just like annoying I think
00:06:36
Speaker
But acid raft was awesome. Yeah, it was that I was obsessed with it. Remember when we saw chance at Bonnaroo? Yeah, I remember you had didn't we you had to pee so you like to be real. And then I remember having to pee like worse than I've ever had to pee in my life. But I was like, I'm watching the rest of the show.
00:06:57
Speaker
Well, I peed and came back. I was just on the outside because he was on the small stage so you could see him from outside the tent. I think we got really close though for it. That show was also at three in the morning. I think it started, dude. I don't think I could do a festival like that again. No way. I feel like Bonnaroo's
00:07:23
Speaker
It's too much because I was even like, because Alex was at Coachella recently and I was asking her about that. And I think the latest shows would start was like midnight, but I remember they have like curfews and stuff. I'm pretty sure is like literally in the middle of no. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that show started at three in the morning. Like if I recall correctly, it started roughly around that time. There was something going on over 24 hours.
00:07:49
Speaker
Yeah, like there were concerts like deep end of the night early morning, you know stupid dude, could you imagine working for Bonnar? Like being like oh I have the two-way emship Like it was I don't regret going but I cuz I had some of my favorite memories of that era of my life at Bonnar But I'm like I could it was so fun, but I don't think I would do it again No, I would have done it again when I was like
00:08:15
Speaker
in college still or something yeah yeah you know what else i don't like doing as much as i used to getting like really close at concerts oh dude i hate that it's never worth it it's never dude never actually like strongly share this i because i was a little nervous to say no i was like
00:08:34
Speaker
So I sometimes I want to get close, but one thing I hate is like shoving through a crowd, like pissing a bunch of people off and then just like standing like fucking like being all scrunched up. I like having close access to like the exits. Like if I want to go to the bathroom or if I want to get a beer, like I'd rather like.
00:08:53
Speaker
it be easy to leave and come back and miss as little as possible than like worse my way and I don't think it really detracts from the experience that much like it's a show that I like really want to see like and someone I'm excited for I might get there early and like try and get up close but most of shows like I'm fine with like like you said like I want to be in the crowd but.
00:09:14
Speaker
be able to get a beer or go to the bathroom. Absolutely. I like being in the crowd. I like dancing at concerts and stuff. I'm going to the Grateful Dead again this year for the last tour, or I guess Dead in Co.
00:09:26
Speaker
And I have like a crew of people I've gone with the last couple of years. And one of us was like, we're going to get floor general admission seats. Like, cause like, and be like in the standing room only dancing and stuff. And every year we've done like nosebleeds in the back and it's still like a dance party, but you have a seat if you so choose to take a break, which my feet always kill me at concerts. So I'm like, me and my other buddy were like, dude, you go do your thing. We're going to.
00:09:56
Speaker
get the seats where we can sit down and do for a little bit. Yeah, being able to sit is nice. I haven't been to a concert where you sit like in a while, it feels like. No, Grateful Dead is the only one because they play at like baseball stadium. Yeah. So there are like a bunch of seats like that. Massive. But like most of the concerts that I go to, like I imagine you is like smaller venues. Smaller venues. Dude, I never feel tall until I go to a concert.
00:10:27
Speaker
I feel like that's like the only time in my life when like my height starts to benefit me. I guess like above average height, you know, so it's like, yeah, but we're not like all. Yeah, I'm like 511. So I guess I can see over the crowd and then I can see over the crowd and then I can see over the crowd.
00:10:45
Speaker
Also though is sometimes I'll feel bad. Like what we were talking about earlier when I squeeze in front of people, there's always like a five foot two person and I'll just like stand right in front. They're probably like staring at like the middle of my shoulders or something. Yeah.
00:10:59
Speaker
Yeah, um, the average male height is like roughly five nine. Let's go. So, um, I, uh, sometimes whenever, cause I go to concerts with Alex a lot, I'll like, yeah, it's like five four. So I'll squat down and like to her height and look at it from her perspective. And I'm like, this sucks. Cause literally everyone's taller. Like you can't see shit when you're that, you know, it's sick looking at people's lower back with music on in the background.
00:11:27
Speaker
That's literally what the experience would be like when you're that short. What was the last concert you went to? I think it was Dominic Fike. I might have gone to one more recently. I remember when you guys went to Dominic Fike. It was so good. It was sick. Where did he play in Austin? Stubbs.
00:11:50
Speaker
Oh, Stubbs is a big room, isn't it? It's outdoors, but it's pretty big. Oh, it's like an outdoor amphitheater. Yeah, but it's not like that. I don't know. Well, define amphitheater. What does that mean to you? I don't know. I mean, have you been to that one in Dallas? I don't know. That outdoor concert venue where it was like the front part of it was like seated. Oh, and then the back part was like a grassy and Irving.
00:12:16
Speaker
I don't remember where, but somewhere in Dallas. It's an area, right? I went like sophomore year of high school. That was the only time I've ever been. That might not be the one.
00:12:25
Speaker
Wait, you're talking about that giant ass one, right? Yeah, pretty fucking big. It's like Jexa energy or whatever. I think I saw Motley Crue there. Yeah, no, no, no. It's not like that at all. It's much like a similar kind of setup. So there's no seats. It's just all like it's all standing room. It's kind of on like this hill and it's like out. It said this. It's actually a barbecue restaurant.
00:12:47
Speaker
Yeah, I think I ate stubs one time in Austin and it it just has this like they have this giant backyard area where they do concerts and it's like bands that it's generally bands that you would know but aren't like super famous is people. Yeah, like if Starfucker came to town or something. Yeah, I saw Starfucker there. And I've seen like I've seen who else did I see? I saw Krong been there.
00:13:13
Speaker
Oh, that's where you saw them. And I saw Chicano Batman there. It's like most of the bands that I want to go see always seem to be playing stubs. Yeah, like the type of music we listen to. What do you think the capacity is? I'm Googling it right now. Oh, my God, dude, I. You're going to be surprised. It's two thousand eighteen hundred.
00:13:36
Speaker
Wow, that's smaller than I thought. It looks cool, man. It's sick. Like some of in Austin, we should go to a concert there. Yeah, there's usually some pretty cool shows. I've kind of been there. String cheese incident. It's actually probably my favorite venue in Austin, because it looks really that it's laid out to is it's on like a very slight hill, like starting at the top. So you can pretty much see from like wherever you are. Yeah, that's like cars. There's this there's this one spot where it's the ultimate
00:14:06
Speaker
You would love it, man. Bathroom, bar, good view. If I go to the movies, I have to sit on the aisle by the stairs. If I have to pee, I can just get up and go back. How do you feel when you're in the middle seat on an airplane?
00:14:30
Speaker
I would never, I booked my flights too far out in advance. I won't allow that to happen. It's not even like, especially if I'm on a plane, because you're like sleeping, like you just don't have, part of why I have to pee so much is because I work from home. And it's like, I just constantly have close access to like water, you know, so it's like easy for me. Yeah.
00:14:53
Speaker
Dude, if you're on a plane, it's not that like I have to pee all the time, even at concerts too. It's just nice having the option to. You know, like when when we were at like Bonnaroo and we saw like Paul McCartney and I had to pee that year, like before Paul McCartney, like 100000 people like navigating that to get to the border parties and back. I was like, this is so awful. God, going through crowds like that is insane.
00:15:22
Speaker
So, you know, I was thinking of on airplanes. I'm curious. It's kind of fucked up, but I'm curious if you have a similar thought. So I'll be like sitting on the plane and I'll be like looking like I'm on the plane and the people who are sitting next to me aren't coming in yet.
00:15:38
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I'll be like waiting and if I see like a really like big person come in I start to get nervous If you have like a giant person next to you while you're on a plane it's miserable and
00:16:04
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Like even for people our size, I feel like it feels pretty cramped, you know? Yeah, for sure. What is your preferred
00:16:15
Speaker
seat on a plane. I don't know. I come to the realization that people are less into it for the actual window and just the ability to like rest your head. That's what I think is the superior seat.
00:16:38
Speaker
Oh, I agree, because I also can get up and just stretch my legs without bothering people. I'm like, I got to be aisle, aisle as close to the front of the plane as possible. How do you feel when people ask you to trade seats?
00:16:51
Speaker
I did it one time flying back from Portland to New York. This like old couple asked and I was like too tired and whatever to say no and I sat in the middle and I slept the whole flight. So walk me through what was your original seat and what did you trade to?
00:17:12
Speaker
Oh, I think I just traded, um, like one back or one forward. I can't remember. Yeah. So I'm fine if I like stay or in, in the general area. If I'm like, if I go from center to aisle or if I just go from like aisle to aisle. Yeah, dude. But I like, like I, I try and book my flights out pretty far in advance so I can like sit aisle. Like my preferred is like that first row behind like first class.
00:17:43
Speaker
You know, cause I like getting off the plane. Or the escape, the exit. Yeah, but they cost extra for those now. Yeah.
00:17:51
Speaker
I'm like, I refuse to pay extra to save somebody's life if need be. Yeah, you definitely want to be as close to the front as possible. I want to get off that bitch, but I don't mind being in the back if I have, I'd rather be in the back and have aisle. You know what else pisses me off, bro, is when you're about to leave or when the plane lands and then like the seatbelt sign comes off and then everyone stands up.
00:18:16
Speaker
It's like, why are you standing? Yeah, and you're at the back of the plane. It's like, why are you standing? And they start getting their shit off and stuff. You know who does that shit? Middle and aisle people, because they haven't been able to get up the whole flight. Dude. Because they're fucking schmucks, dude. Dude, I don't understand it. And then what pisses me off even more is when people try and get in front of you, like who are at the back. It's like, no, no, no. There's a fucking order to this shit. This isn't an anarchy. What are we doing here?
00:18:45
Speaker
fucking nuts, dude. There's a system. Just makes me want to fucking fly the plane into some fucking... That was the true story. The true story behind 9-11. All right, we're moving off of it.
00:19:12
Speaker
9-11. Speaking of flights, I just booked a flight. I've just been booking my Europe trip stuff. Oh, yeah, dude, you're doing Eurovision, right? Yeah, I'm going to Eurovision because I'm performing. I'm performing for my native Denmark.
00:19:33
Speaker
No, but I'm going to Ireland and Amsterdam this summer. Dude, how high per you? I'm so hype. I started like booking my accommodations last night and it was like the first time that it felt like it was happening. Yeah. You know, when are you real? I leave on June 29th after work. So I fly a red eye and then I come back June 11th. I fly out at like 11 in the morning. I think you go back in time, bro.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, it's gonna be sick, dude. I think I fly out at like 11 and I land at like, I can't remember what time, like around the same time, kind of. It's weird.
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah. Um, dude, that's going to be sick. Do you have anything like planned out yet? Or do you just have like the bones of it? And then you're going to, I, I'm flying in and out of Dublin. So I fly into Dublin and I'm spending that first night in Dublin because I don't want to fly into Dublin and then travel to a different part of Ireland after that flight. That's smart.
00:20:35
Speaker
So I'm I'm doing my first day in Dublin. And then the next day I'm traveling to a part of Ireland called Galway, which is on the west coast of Ireland. What is what's it like there? I don't really know. I've just everyone I've talked to said it was awesome. It's a smaller city, but it's still like a. How do you spell it? Major G A L W A Y. I think it's got like a lot of pubs and like music and like it's just on the coast. So it's really pretty nice, dude.
00:21:04
Speaker
So I'm going to Galway for like three days, and then I'm going back to Dublin for a day. And then on July 4th, I'm going to fly from Dublin to Amsterdam. Nice. And then I go back from Amsterdam to Dublin on July 8th, and then I
00:21:26
Speaker
land like early afternoon back in Dublin. So then I'll have another like day and a half in Dublin and then I'm flying back to America. That sounds sick, dude. I want to go to Europe. Dude, I mean, if you want to come June 29th through July 11th. Probably can't make this one, but. Yeah, I'm psyched. I'm very excited.
00:21:49
Speaker
Dude, that's going to be really cool. I can't wait to hear about it. We should do a podcast from there. That would be like a pub I'd just post off. Just like angry Irishman like, what the fuck are you doing? Fucking podcast. Why is that fucking microphone so small?
00:22:08
Speaker
Is that a baby? Yeah, my initial plan was to just do Ireland, but then I just started being like, I wonder like how
00:22:23
Speaker
much it would be to like fly to a different European city just out of curiosity. And then I saw a flight to Amsterdam and I was like, well, I wanted to go to Amsterdam last time I was in Europe and didn't get a chance to, I was like, fuck it. I'm gonna go to Amsterdam too. Hell yeah. I've always wanted to go. I was telling you, they went on a recent episode of Ted Lasso. You gotta make sure you watch that before you go.
00:22:44
Speaker
Spoiler alert, bro. That's what I told him earlier and I said, I just said that it was there and I was like, I don't know if that's a spoiler, but they go to Amsterdam. It's not. There's actually no lead up to it either. They're just like in Amsterdam. Is the new season as good as the last two? I have really liked it, but it's also been like
00:23:09
Speaker
I don't think I've liked it quite as much, but it's still really good. Everyone I've talked to has said it's not as good, but still good. Yeah, that's how I feel. It's kind of been like, I don't want to spoil anything, but I feel like they're kind of trying to do too much is my impression of it. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't really heard that much about it. I mean, it's still totally worth watching. It's still really good. I do want to. I'm just waiting till they're all out so I could just binge it.
00:23:37
Speaker
You know, it's crazy though, because I feel like season one and two, everyone was talking about Ted Lasso. And now I, I, I don't talk to anyone who watches it. Really? Maybe hanging out with the wrong kind of people, man. Or at least like talks about it. Like even my parents like aren't really talking about it and they watch it.
00:23:54
Speaker
Yeah, my parents are out on it now. I'll tell you why after. That's so funny. Yeah, my parents are in as far as I'm aware, but yeah, I do want to watch it. What else is on? Succession's about to end. That's going to be real drag when that show's over. I love that show, dude.
00:24:24
Speaker
I just got caught up last night. It was so good. Dude, everybody's losing their shit right now. You know what thought I've had every episode this season? I'm like, I think this is the best show of all time. Really? I think it might be so good. I think it might be the best show of all time.
00:24:43
Speaker
In my opinion, I think it's overtaken Breaking Bad and Arrested Development as what I consider to be the best TV show. I think Game of Thrones is the best show of all time, except for the end. The last two seasons sucked too much for me. That was my initial thought, but then when I rewatched it with Alex, I was like, this show is so good. When it was good, it was awesome. That first six seasons, how many seasons were there? Eight?
00:25:12
Speaker
That sounds about right. I think there are eight. Seven or eight, something in that ballpark. So if there were seven, the first five, if there were eight, the first six seasons, it's like this is the best. But those last two seasons I thought were so bad. I thought it was really just the last one season.
00:25:27
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I don't even remember what happened in the second to last season, but I remember that sentiment not being as bad, but being like, there's a drop off. There's some serious bullshit in the last season. I don't even have a problem with like how it ended. Well, with Daenerys specifically, I have problems with some of the other choices they made, but the Daenerys trajectory,
00:25:52
Speaker
I actually kind of liked that, but it was like it felt too rushed. It didn't feel earned. Yeah, they just like threw away the whole Night King arc, in my opinion. I thought that was so much. That was what pissed me off the most. I feel like they didn't fully explain it. And then they just like ended it with the most in one episode. Yeah. One episode. They've been teasing that for six years, dude.
00:26:14
Speaker
And they were like they didn't explain anything like you you don't even understand like still why how Brand is really related like you kind of do but they just don't fully give you an explanation Yeah, the brand ship is that season dude fuck brand dude. Yeah, dude. He's a weirdo Yeah
00:26:44
Speaker
Yeah, if you if you want to get someone in a bad mood just talk about how exciting like What a cultural phenomenon game of Thrones was when it was coming out? How was like a time to get together with the people you knew and just like to discuss and then the last season happened controversial opinion in and out has the best fast food french fries and
00:27:09
