Winter in New York vs. Austin Weather
00:00:22
Speaker
We're back. It's the podcast for talk sauce by talk sauce. How's it going, buddy?
00:00:28
Speaker
I'm good, man. I haven't been outside today. That's cool. It's kind of sick, right? It actually started feeling like winter in New York. We got snow yesterday and it's been kind of snowy, rainy all day. I was like, fuck it. I'm not going outside. I don't like shit. I don't go outside.
00:00:49
Speaker
Yeah, here it was recently like 85 plus degrees. I walked outside and it was kind of hot and I was in my gym the other day at my apartment complex and there were people hanging out by the pool. That's so wild. We had one day last week where it was 70 degrees. We haven't had like a winter at all this year up until like last week.
00:01:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's been nice, like really nicely. I think this is, well, what's weird is, I guess in March, usually we're home free, but in February is usually when Austin gets just shit on by some bad weather.
Harry Potter Game Discussion and Controversy
00:01:23
Speaker
I always feel like February is the worst month, weather wise of the year. I think it is the coldest month.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, thank god. It's the shortest bro. Yeah, dude, I couldn't let that cold. Oh, sir. No fucking chance dude on a leap year, man. Oh, we're so toast. I'm going to Europe. I'm getting out of dodge. But yeah, so I've just been playing video games and work and stuff. It's been cool. I've been playing a lot. I've been playing that new Harry Potter game.
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah, you like it. It's pretty fun. It's pretty corny, but it's very fun. Like whenever my character talks, Kelly's playing too, and we always text each other. And it's like, you know who my least favorite character is? The character you play as. He's such a bitch. Really? So is it?
00:02:12
Speaker
It's like prequel right to Harry Potter. Yeah, it takes place in like the 1800s or something Ah, it's kind of cool like seeing the world all that time before cuz it's so like Vast the game. It's so massive really. Yeah, and like so detailed and stuff So it's really cool and it's making me want to watch the movies but the problem is
00:02:36
Speaker
And my opinion is the main character that you play as is so customizable that they can't put any personality into the character. Like make it match like however you want to set your character up to be like whatever type of gender or race or whatever that they can't just like make it like an interesting character.
00:02:59
Speaker
Like whenever someone's talking to you, they refer, they don't refer to you by name. They're just like the fifth year or like the new student or whatever. Oh, that's annoying. Yeah. I've played games that do that for sure. Your character is just like this milk toast, like little bitch. I also didn't realize until I started playing the game, like how strong the discourse about the game was.
00:03:25
Speaker
Have you heard all the people online? Are people upset about it? Well, because of the JK Rowling. Oh, no. I didn't realize until I got the game and then I started seeing it everywhere because there are people online that are like, if you play this game, you don't support trans people. Then there are people online who are like, I'm going to play this game in spite of trans
Gaming Experiences and Recommendations
00:03:49
Speaker
People, you know what I mean? People don't even like Harry Potter. I don't even like video games. So it's just too equally annoying people who just exist in this world of black and white thing. Is it on Twitter?
00:04:04
Speaker
Although I would say that probably the people, yeah, Twitter, the people who are playing the game in spite of trans people are more annoying just because... That's hilarious. They'll be like, dude, I'm not having a good time, but I'm taking a stance on this. It's like a $70 video game, too. It's like, what an insane act of protest against woke culture, that is, to put yourself out $70 for a video game. The Activision's just like,
00:04:34
Speaker
Yeah. JK Rowling didn't even make the game. So who gives a fuck? You know, that's kind of how I feel. I'm like, it's still fun. Yeah. It's like Chick-fil-A. You know what I mean? Yeah. You just get good chicken sandwich. That's cool, though. Yeah. I was telling you earlier, apparently the game is going to come out.
00:04:57
Speaker
this summer on Switch, so I'll definitely play it. I feel like it would link to the Switch, well. So I was, you think it, my only thing is, I mean, they did it with Zelda, but just the fact that they can get a big, vast game with decent graphics like that onto those little micro SD cards is mind boggling to me. And this is what this game does better than Zelda, in my opinion. It's maybe just as big of a game, probably not quite as big, but
00:05:24
Speaker
The locations are also detailed and expansive. Like the Hogwarts Castle is massive and there's so much. But I I'm not constantly like, fuck, where do I go? What do I do? I'm like, OK, there are like landmarks and things and the game kind of tells you where to go if you want it to. Yeah.
00:05:44
Speaker
And that's my one of my big gripes that we've discussed on pot. Dude, I think you're doing something wrong on Zelda because Kelly and I were playing it the other day and we were just cruising through. Well, I think I because I'm doing the photo. I was like, well, I have to do all the photos. Yeah. Yeah. I think rather than just like kind of, you know, I was like, well, I have to find all the photos before I can do the next thing. And I've been playing for like 10 hours and still having them all just on that part of the game, too. Yeah.
00:06:12
Speaker
That I haven't picked it up in a while, especially because I started playing this game. But after I play this game, when you start playing again, don't do that. Yeah. Recommendation. Yeah. I only have like three left, though. Now. Now, you might as well knock them out of that. So I was because the only game I would play was Rocket League, as I've told you. And I was playing it like, dude, almost every day.
00:06:39
Speaker
Maybe not quite, but I played it a lot and I just uninstalled it the other day because I found myself whenever I played, I would just get like I wasn't having fun. I was getting on and like sometimes I would be in like a good mood and have fun, but other times I would get on after work.
00:06:57
Speaker
And I'm not like maybe a little stressed out, but just kind of tired from work and stuff. I'm like, okay, I want to chill and play some Rocket League. And then I just like, I don't know, it's just super competitive. So I would be getting in and then my teammate would screw up and I'd be like, this fucking guy.
00:07:18
Speaker
And then I was like playing I was like this is destroying me fall guys. Are you ripping fall guys? Oh, I forgot about fall guys. I should do fall guys What you need to do is have Kelly over and play fall guys with Kelly and will pod
00:07:36
Speaker
as kelly is playing oh he's played before oh he's played before because i would love to hear his thoughts you know guys i think he likes you know what we can do you know you can do like online multiplayer with fall guys it's a cross platform though yeah yeah it is i've done it with my brothers before we should get the squad together and that'll be so fun i'm so into that fall guys dude we should do that soon let's do it after we bought
00:08:07
Speaker
Round the boys up. You wanna end the pod? Yeah, just stop now. Alright, peace. The rest of it is just the audio from Fall Guys. Yeah, the music. The music is so annoying in Fall Guys. Fall Guys is the shit though. I haven't played in a while. I bet there's a ton of new maps and stuff. It changes every... because I probably play it like... I really only play it like if I have like 20 minutes to kill every now and then. And every time I pick it up to play it, there's...
00:08:35
Speaker
It's a different game than the last time I played it. Yeah, I think they do. They do like, you know how a bunch of games, like I know Rocket League does it, but then I think Fortnite and Fall Guys, they'll have like seasons. It's like hot ones with their hot sauces. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much. There's in-game items you can unlock and stuff. And I think it's really just a scam to make you spend money, but they'll also like do themes.
00:08:59
Speaker
and they'll release maps and stuff. It's kind of cool because you and I have always said that Fall Guys is the hot ones of video games. You know how we've always said that? Yeah, I stand by that. It's nice knowing that we now have evidence to prove it.
00:09:15
Speaker
Yeah. Sean Evans is the fall guy of the hot ones. The anatomy of a fall guy is based on Sean Evans. Yeah, that's what Sean Evans' skeleton looks like.
Family Ancestry and Historical Guilt
00:09:28
Speaker
That's so awesome. He was genetically engineered to be able to eat hot wings. Yeah.
00:09:36
Speaker
that's terrible at running though yeah but if he does fall his body just like oh yeah yeah he was made to fall so what have you been up to since last we plotted oh by the way before we get into real conversation we are going to do the ancestry thing at some point in time we feel like that's going to take some proper planning which we have not yeah we haven't had the chance but
00:10:00
Speaker
We will do it. We'll give you guys all the details on our family history. What if you find out your great-great-grandfather was like a warlord or something? It would be awesome. It would be so disappointing. Like generational guilt.
00:10:20
Speaker
I'd need something else to feel guilty about. My white gill, my Christian gill. On top of that, I need another one. That would be the worst if you're just going like deeper and deeper in here. Ancestry and you're like, oh my God. Like the worst people. Did you know that Hitler, Adolf Hitler has living descendants that live in New York state. They live on Long Island.
00:10:46
Speaker
Really? Yeah. Are they Hitler's? Yeah, they're still Hitler's. They've kept the last name and have made a pact to end the bloodline. So it's like it's like his great, great nephews or something. It's not his like grandpa. Do they all get like vasectomies or something? I don't know. They're definitely not having kids. I know that. I think one of them's married and I think one of them's kind of a hermit dude, but they both live in America now.
00:11:13
Speaker
Interesting. There might be more, but there are two. I told you about the jungle tour thing I did in Peru, right? Did you just find a bunch of Nazi stuff? Okay. I think what happened is a lot of Nazis fled Germany slash Europe and went to South America. I think it was particularly Argentina is what I've heard, but I guess it was all throughout South America.
00:11:37
Speaker
And they were, third world country, weren't involved in the war at all. So they started, I guess people just didn't know. So they, people like have the name Hitler. And we went on this Amazon jungle tour thing, and the company was called like Hitler's Jungle Tours. And the guy's name was Hitler. And we were like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah, he had no idea though. He was just, it was like Hitler, but it was insane.
00:12:08
Speaker
That's wild. I bet you can find it. Let me see. I just found an article of the seven most prominent Nazis who escaped war crimes to South America. The first number one is Adolf Eichmann, who was the architect of the Final Solution concentration camp plan. And he was brought to justice in 1960. He was
00:12:34
Speaker
I'm not sure where, but he was sentenced to death in 62. Joseph Mingle, nicknamed the Angel of Death. It's kind of a dope nickname. He was in Buenos Aires. Yeah, that first guy was in Buenos Aires. Pappy Baloo. Oh, no. Number three, Walter Ralph.
00:13:02
Speaker
He came up with the designs for gas chambers, and he was in Ecuador and finally Chile, where he lived under his own name. Wow. Okay. Yeah. The white death was- All right. We got to stop just naming off prominent Nazis. We're going to get flagged up by Spotify. Yeah, but they were brought to justice, deservedly. I'm just kidding. It's interesting.
00:13:33
Speaker
The further you go back in your ancestry, you've got to find some absolute savages though, right? Probably for some people not that far.
00:13:44
Speaker
Even like five generations, I bet you can find a real... Oh, yeah. I mean, sit here and say that every person that is in my family tree was a good person. Seems rather unlikely. What do you think the most evil someone in the Gardener clan has been capable of? Emperor Gardener? Post Alexander the Great? Post Alexander the Great. Probably.
00:14:15
Speaker
Probably it was like charging for Wi-Fi. Yeah, the gardeners came up with the not free Wi-Fi. Yeah. I bet he would charge. You know how in Europe will charge for bathrooms? Like public bathrooms? That was a gardener. Yeah, that was a gardener invention.
00:14:34
Speaker
That's pretty evil. If I could go back in time and kill someone in history, it'd be that gardener person, but I'd make sure they'd have the kids that would lead to your existence. So the podcast could still thrive, but bathrooms would be free, no doubt.
Local Incident and Community Safety
00:14:51
Speaker
Yeah. I think that would solve most of the world's issues. Free bathrooms. Any thoughts on the evil doings of the balloons? That's a great question.
00:15:05
Speaker
Yeah. So, you know how when you go to certain places, you have to pay for parking? It's all about paying for things that should be free. Oh, man. I thought one of us would come up with something better than that. Those are both pretty evil. Yeah. And probably not that far back the family tree either. Yeah.
00:15:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty wild. Yeah, we'll definitely do it. So what have you been up to? What was your week like? So I went this past weekend. Alex's family came into town and Friday night. Well, so Friday night actually is weirdest thing happened. I was going out to dinner and I was it was from a place like near my apartment. So I was with Alex and we were walking there and we were actually meeting Nick and Kelly. Whoa. And when we go out,
00:16:07
Speaker
There's like a ton of police officers, a fire truck, there's a freaking helicopter going around and it's by this park area. Over by where you live? Yeah, by this pond and there's like some shops and stuff. And there's like all kinds of shit. There's a drone and we're like, oh my God, what's going on?
00:16:30
Speaker
And this guy comes up to us and he's like, yeah, there's two girls missing. And I was like, holy shit. And they were, people were looking around like in the water with flashlights and stuff. And I was feeling like sick to my stomach. I was like, oh my God.
Sports Events and Austin FC Experiences
00:16:47
Speaker
And yeah, they were like going into every shop, like looking for them. And then later it came out that they just like wandered off from the park. They were like little kids. Yeah, there were two, I think it was two sisters. Like one was 10 and one was 12. And they were like, yeah, they were like hanging out on the swings and their mom went to the bathroom. And I don't know where they went, but they just wandered off.
00:17:06
Speaker
But it was, dude, it was crazy. Like, oh my God, the amount of people, like there were civilians it looking like looking in the water. And I was like, oh, the water thing. It was so messed up. That's heavy. And yeah, there was a helicopter like super low, like looking around everywhere. And but yeah, so thank God they were fine. We were talking about it. That would ruin the night. Oh, yeah. But we were talking about it.
00:17:34
Speaker
And we're like, yeah, their parents are gonna be relieved. But like after like a week or a month or something, they're gonna be so pissed.
00:17:50
Speaker
Oh, my gosh. Like, obviously, initially, there's going to be like the major relief that it was the best case scenario. But then you're going to be like, there were hundreds of people. The best case scenario is that they stayed their ass on the on the swing. Yeah. So this was the second best case. Yeah. But yeah, it was it was crazy. But good result. Yeah. So yeah, that was my Friday and then Saturday. Alex's family.
00:18:18
Speaker
I was in town and we went to oyster fest, which was sick. Yeah, it was basically it was in downtown Austin and they were just a bunch of different oyster vendors and they had.
00:18:32
Speaker
like raw oysters, like Oysters Rockefeller, they had like oyster po' boys, and kind of various seafoods, and then they had just drinks, obviously too. So we were just there for like most of the day, and the weather was really nice. It was like 65 maybe. We were just... 65 sunny? Yeah, it was perfect weather. I got a little sunburned on my head though. Jack hate sunburn. But yeah, so we...
00:19:01
Speaker
just drank and like ate oysters. And then we went to the Austin FC game. Oh, yeah, you told me we're gonna do that. It was the season opener. Dude, it was sick. I don't know. Probably I think he's a partial owner of the team or something. So I would assume he was there. But they don't have like the stadium doesn't have a big screen. It has a screen, but you can't really see the screen. So I don't I don't know if they showed him or anything. But
00:19:30
Speaker
The stadium is really nice. Like, I would think it seats like 20,000 people or something. I can look up the capacity, but you pretty much have a good like you can see what's going on. It's not like when you go to a Cowboys game to where you're like, you're just basically watching the jumbotron. Yeah, it's not like that at all. Like you can really see well. And the stadium is brand new, like maybe within the past couple of years. Was it packed? Yeah, I think it was sold out. But the worst thing, though, was
00:19:59
Speaker
I was next to this huge guy. He was so big. I was literally leaning over the whole time. He was manspreading too. It wasn't just that he was big. It's like the man had very flexible hips. Good for him. Honestly, he can't be bad about those hips. Yeah, it was interesting because he was telling me he was like,
00:20:23
Speaker
saying, he was like, yeah, I played in college and then I coached in college. And yeah, this is my first time seeing a game. And then the whole time he was just like reading on a Kindle. And I was like, what is going on? Are you serious? Yeah. And what was he reading? I don't know. But he was reading more. Yeah, it might have been infinite just as possible. I feel bad talking shit on this guy, but he was
00:20:47
Speaker
I was literally like leaned sideways the whole thing and the last thing I'll say about him is I saw him take out his phone and bring up the notes app and he wrote Austin FC and then below it he wrote
00:21:00
Speaker
Um, ball cap and then below that he wrote earplugs. He's getting prepared for the next game. What would be on your list of things you would bring to the next Austin FC game? Probably ball cap and earplugs.
00:21:18
Speaker
in solidarity. Ballcap earplugs, Kendall. Yeah, I definitely would need a Kendall for sure. Won't make that mistake twice. Yeah, it was crazy though. And the craziest thing was the game was super exciting. Soccer can be so exciting, I think. Dude, it was so fun. I want to go again so bad, but they got up. So they got scored on first. The other team was winning. And then they scored. It was the other team.
00:21:46
Speaker
it was st louis city fc they're new it was a brand new team they never played before they stay and then austin fc scored two in a row and then there were like 20 minutes left in the game or something and they were up two to one so it's looking really good and then i i need to show you a highlight of this online it was unbelievable
00:22:07
Speaker
One of the Austin FC defenders, I guess he didn't realize that there was an opposing teams player behind him. And he was just trying to pass it to the goalie, but he literally just passed it directly to an opposing teams player behind him. It was so bad. Like everyone in the stadium was like, what the fuck?
00:22:24
Speaker
It was insane. I felt so bad for the guy and then we looked up his name. He was getting like dragged on Twitter. I'll try and find a highlight for you after this. It was such a gaffe dude. It was kind of unbelievable. Did Austin FC win? No, then they got scored on again and in
00:22:48
Speaker
So they were losing and then an extra time they hit like a header and it looked like it was going to score and it went off the top crossbar and bounced out and then they lost. Really?
00:22:58
Speaker
Yeah, it was disappointing, but the game is so fun. I just found an article headline, Austin FC defender gifts, St. Louis city funniest goal ever. The player's name is Kip Kepper. I found it right now. I'm going to, I wish we could share screens on this one. All right. I'm watching it now. He's running down the pitch. He's okay. So, uh, yeah, he's running backwards on the pitch. Uh,
00:23:28
Speaker
Yep. He don't look like he's too thrilled with him. That's so bad. Yeah. Some of the guys on St. Louis city are laughing as they celebrate. Everyone. You should have seen everyone's face ever was literally like.
00:23:48
Speaker
Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable. My one bad on the thing was I didn't put us in. So I didn't realize there was an opposing team section and I didn't put us in the section, but we were right next to it. So they were a lot of St. Louis city fans. No, but they were all in the one section. So they were like, there was strength in numbers there and they were like chanting and stuff.
00:24:10
Speaker
But dude, professional soccer has chance, like better than any sport. They do like, they've lots of like little songs and stuff. Yeah, I think it's because the game can get kind of boring. That's so funny.
00:24:25
Speaker
It was fun though, dude. We should go if you end up coming down to Austin. I definitely will be back in Austin at some point in
Social Media Habits and Motivational Figures
00:24:34
Speaker
time. Yeah, we thought about going last time I was there too, but tickets were a little pricey, which I'm sure that's about what tickets are, but we kind of know going into it what we do. Yeah, and if you have more time, I think, if it's a little bit longer of a trip, then... Yeah, yeah, for sure. Because I think that would be really fun.
00:24:55
Speaker
It was awesome, like I would love to do it again. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. But that's cool. Do you think objectively speaking that soccer is one of the best sports to go to live after going? Man, I just I really like going to live sporting events. I think they're so fun. Like for the Cowboys game, I cared a lot.
00:25:21
Speaker
So I think that that's the best for me because I actually really care about the Cowboys. I'd like to go to a Mavs game. I went to a Trailblazers game while I was in Portland. Go see the Mavs play. Yeah, I could. But I went to a Trailblazers game with Alex while I was in Portland and it was kind of weird because there was like no one there. And then they like, you know how Portland took like 20 years to stop doing all the COVID stuff? Yeah.
00:25:49
Speaker
So they were in the basketball stadium. They had people coming up. You would literally take your mask down to take a sip of your drink. And there were people coming up with signs and would hold a sign up and be like, put your mask on. And in Texas and I think in New York, everything was just normal. Yeah, I'm trying to remember around the time you were there to try and place it. But I think it probably wasn't too long after I went there one time. Christmas time, was it the winter, maybe?
00:26:19
Speaker
I can't remember. It must have been like last January. Yeah. So like two years after COVID started pretty much. Oh, here. I can tell you exactly what it was. Yeah. Fuck yeah. I posted on Instagram. I remember.
00:26:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's intense. I think this actually was my last time it was February 8th. So it's probably like just before February 8th. That was the last time I posted on Instagram, February 8th, 2020. Yeah. I got to bring back. I should make one post per year. You should. Oh, fuck. I missed it. I missed February 8th. Dang it. You can still post today and be February. Oh, shit. I've got to figure out what to post. I should just do me and the tank top. I posted on January 10th.
00:27:08
Speaker
This year? This year. Yeah. I feel like you have a reason to be active on Instagram. Yeah, but I'm not as active as I should be as a comedian. For me, I have no reason other than the clout. The clout's nice. Yeah, the clout is nice. That's the name of the episode, by the way. The clout's nice. I don't think there's anything I can do to fully achieve the clout. By followers.
00:27:32
Speaker
Step one. Step one, buy followers. Step two, chill it out. Step three, retire. We should make a motivational Instagram where we post quotes and stuff. Yeah, just rebrand the talk sauce Instagram page. Take all of our followers. We could use short videos or something. Yeah, exactly. Whenever you feel like you should stop,
00:28:05
Speaker
Don't. Oh, my God. Have you seen how, you know, Jocko Willink is? Who? He's this dude. He's been on Joe Rogan a bunch, but he's kind of a famous Navy SEALs dude. But, you know, David Goggins. David Goggins. God, I do know that name. What is he like a breathing guy? No, that's Wim Hof.
00:28:29
Speaker
uh, David Goggins, American runner. He's like, uh, basically a guy. They're basically just both dudes who were in the army who were like, work as hard as you possibly can. And Jocko posts pictures of his watch every morning at 4 AM when he wakes up, I guess. That's so insane. So he could do something like that. So, um, David Goggins has written a couple of books.
00:28:54
Speaker
In 2018, he wrote a book called Can't Hurt Me, Master and Defy the Odds. In 2019, he wrote a book called Built, Not Born. Dude, David, I can't believe you haven't heard of him. David Goggins will crack you up, dude. Is he funny or is he intense? He's intense, but if you don't take it seriously, it's pretty funny. Oh, I bet I get a kick out of him. Yeah.
00:29:20
Speaker
Actually, how I I think how he got famous originally, there's this book called living with the seal. Have you ever heard of it? No. So it's this dude. His name is Jesse Itzler. He's married to the woman who created Spanx randomly, but he's all they're both they're like super freaking rich and he's also independently wealthy and he
00:29:47
Speaker
paid David Goggins to come live with him for 30 days and just put him through this insane workout shit and he wrote a book about it. If you were to write a David Goggins-esque book, what would you call it?
00:30:05
Speaker
Stay hard, motherfucker. That's a direct quote by David Goggins. I bet if you Google stay hard, motherfucker, David Goggins comes up. You want to know what mine would be called? What? The wolf or the lamb. You decide.
00:30:27
Speaker
That's pretty sick. You both stay hard, motherfucker. The first thing that came up was an Instagram post from David Goggins from 185 weeks ago. Do you think he's one of those people that if you and I were hanging out with him, we could make fun of him without him realizing at the whole time?
00:30:47
Speaker
Are you sure we've done it before? It'd make us do burpees, bro. It'd make us do burpees, and we'd have no choice. Remember when we did that in high school for shots? Oh, yeah. To someone we won't name. Yeah, I do remember that. It was the most legendary thing of all time.
Podcast Celebration and Farewell
00:31:06
