Podcast Scheduling Challenges
00:00:01
Speaker
Hello, everybody. We are back. Yo, yo, yo. What up, what up? What is good? As always, it's the podcast for Talksauce. By Talksauce. Last time we recorded, we talked like big game where we were like, oh, we figured out our schedules. We're going to be able to record more consistently. And it is April 29th, and our last episode dropped March 28th. Yeah, we need to stop making promises, I think.
00:00:32
Speaker
We're overselling and underperforming. You know what we should do is just not release a pod for like a while and just bank a shit ton of episodes. And then the last one we record, kind of have that same thing. We're going to be like, okay, we're about to be super consistent about it. And then it's released. That'd be pretty cool. That's a great idea. That's a great idea.
00:00:54
Speaker
I'm a big fan of backlogging shit, too, as you know, with
Home Studio Setup and Audio Issues
00:00:58
Speaker
this podcast. And also I've been since I've been living alone, I've turned one of the spare bedrooms into just a studio to film stuff. And I filmed 15 videos in the last month that I'm just like holding on to just. Hell, yeah. Before we get too much into that, hold on. Talk sauce. Talk sauce. Whoa, and Jack are just a couple of dudes.
00:01:23
Speaker
I like being on while this is happening, you know? Yeah, it's fun. Usually we have to imagine what it's like hearing the song, you know? Yeah. And we can kind of play it at our leisure, which is cool. We can like very 20 minutes to end of the episode and be like, all right, here it is. So we have realized.
00:01:43
Speaker
that the song is very quiet on the recordings. Yeah, how does it sound? Did you listen to the last one? I listened to it. It sounds very quiet. Oh, cool. Great.
00:01:55
Speaker
Yeah. Like you can hardly hear it. And then the problem was we were talking over it too and it was just a mess. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we keep bringing out a Canon WD-40 and saying, let's grease the rest off and then never fully doing it. But one of these days we will. I'm going to mess around with it and see if I can do it. We're just using a different software.
00:02:18
Speaker
Um, so it's, it's just different, but you know, it'd be sick if a pandemic happened again. And then that way we would have so much time. Yeah.
Pandemic Reflections and Humor
00:02:29
Speaker
The podcast game would be awesome. Could you imagine if we had a second pandemic four years after we started doing this? Cause we probably started doing this, I mean, probably April or May of 2020. Right. So it's been four years or right at four years.
00:02:49
Speaker
Yeah. That's kind of crazy to think about. Isn't that nuts? Four years ago, we were doing this in lockdown at an election year.
00:02:59
Speaker
Four years later, we're doing this in an election year now in lockdown. Something is missing. Soon we will have done an entire presidential term. So did we start this while Trump was president? We started during Trump's presidency and that's cocky crazy. That feels like a lie. Listen to our takes on the election 2020. You know what's crazy too is like Trump was elected while we were still in college.
00:03:29
Speaker
And the time from graduating college to starting talk sauce feels like, like it feels just time feels like it's moved so differently since we started talk sauce, I guess, cause COVID and everything. Yeah. I feel so much further. I don't know. It's, it's weird, right? Like it's weird that it's the same amount of time, but it doesn't feel like it.
00:03:54
Speaker
Yeah, it feels like longer and shorter at the same time. Yeah, I can't quite pinpoint exactly because sometimes it feels way longer and sometimes it doesn't at all. Yeah.
00:04:07
Speaker
But that's why we'll get another pandemic and then we can crank out some content, but just one that gives people the sniffles, but like really. Yeah, for sure. Just one that makes people have an insatiable need for podcasts. The only cure for this next pandemic is a lot of talk sauce. That's all. That's all that can help. That would be kind of nice for us. Do you think people would rally against us? COVID 2 or COVID 20?
00:04:37
Speaker
COVID was COVID-19, right? So would it be COVID-19? Would it be like COVID 24 or whatever?
00:04:44
Speaker
COVID-24 sounds like Kony 2012. I don't know why. I saw a tweet where like Kony popped up in the news where like people are closing in on his location and someone- They're still looking for him right now.
Nostalgia: Coney 2012 and High School
00:05:00
Speaker
Someone retweeted it and they were like bringing back memorable side characters before the series finale. Wait, why did they make us... I feel like in high school they made us feel like we could make a difference in that.
00:05:14
Speaker
It was one of the first times like I ever experienced virtue signaling. I feel like, you know, like on that level, it was like we're making posters and shit. We definitely had shirts. I guess it was to bring awareness to like child, child soldiers and child trafficking.
00:05:34
Speaker
and he's a big culprit of that, but we didn't really do anything about it. I couldn't have told you what it was, except that you said the name and then I remembered it. It took me a second when I read the tweet. I was like, who is that? I was like, oh, yeah. There's a movie. There's a Coney movie? Yeah, it's called Coney 2012. Dude, you should play Coney in a movie.
00:06:00
Speaker
Jack Gardner is Coney. That would be pretty cool. I might end my short acting career with a bang. Yeah, I mean, go out with a fucking bang.
00:06:19
Speaker
I don't wanna long career, I wanna fizzle out fast. Yeah, but I want people to know who I was and what I did. Yeah, everyone's gonna be like, who's a white guy who played Cody? You're like a Jeopardy question. Yeah, it would be funny if you just like, change none of my characteristics and just put me there.
00:06:40
Speaker
And I just do like all the things that he did, but like the same exact kind of vibe. I still do the pod on the side, but I'm also just a warlord in Africa. That'd be fucking sick. I would watch everything. That would be pretty cool.
Sports and Leisure Activities
00:07:00
Speaker
Dude, so what have you been up to since we last potted a month ago or so? Good question. We talk on the phone. So just to be clear, this isn't the only time Jack and I talk, but it is, we have to pretend. But with you guys, it's full transparency. Yeah, let me think. I mean, I play golf most weekends. The weather's been good down here. I was playing basketball a little bit with Nick.
00:07:28
Speaker
He and I were just going to this park across the street from my apartment. We were playing basketball. Are you good at basketball? No, I'm really bad. It's my worst sport. I was kind of cooking Nick, because one of my brothers is kind of good at basketball, or he is good at basketball, I would say, especially relative to me. So he kind of taught me some moves. And now I got a couple moves in the bag. And you're cooking Nick. So Nick is bad at basketball. That's the one thing I wish I played basketball when I was a kid, because I played a bunch of other sports, but none of them
00:07:58
Speaker
You're going to play like as an adult, really. I feel like basketball is the one thing. You can't really play pickup football or something. Yeah, no. Imagine we just get all the boys together and play tackle football. I kind of can't think of something I want to do less right now than play tackle football. I like throwing around a football.
00:08:22
Speaker
But like getting tackled, I can't think of something I want to do less than tackle someone or get tackled. That's what I think of like watching the NFL, just like every little play must hurt so bad. I know. Like that probably hurts. Like one just normal ass play probably hurts more than anything that happens to me in like a year.
00:08:42
Speaker
Yeah, combined. Yeah, like I go through very little pain. Yeah, over a year cumulatively, the amount of pain that you experience is a punter kicking a football. If I kicked a football, I'd probably go, ow.
00:09:07
Speaker
That's hilarious. I have like so many friends who play basketball and stuff. They're always like, you should come play basketball with us. I'm like, you don't want me to play basketball with you. I wish I did too, because it does seem fun. That's kind of how I felt. But then I've played pickup a few times, which is people who like. I feel like most people you play with aren't very good. Yeah, that's true. Most people I hang out with aren't particularly athletic.
00:09:36
Speaker
Yeah, well, I'll go to like 24 or sorry, if you go to like 24 hour fitness or something, I bet the competition there's higher. But I've just played like at home, there's like the rec center near my parents house. So it's I was just playing with like my siblings and then some of their friends. Sure. I played in the park and like they were a lot better than me. But I was like, I was getting some buckets, you know, you could hang a little bit. Yeah, like I wasn't that bad. And also,
00:10:06
Speaker
Uh, you're, you and I are around the same height and we're taller than a lot of people. I always forget that because I don't feel like to me, the average height is my height, which is like five, 10, five, 11, but the average height for a man's probably what, like five, seven, maybe five, eight, five, nine, something like that.
00:10:25
Speaker
But anyway, I was like a big, when we were playing basketball, I was taller than pretty much everyone else. I was just big bodying people. And the cool thing is I'm not like 140 pounds anymore. Like I was my entire life. That rules. Yeah. Yeah. Look at you putting on some masks. Dude, I weigh actually the most I've ever weighed in my life right now. What do you weigh? Like a little over 180.
00:10:50
Speaker
Oh, wow. Okay. Damn. Look at you, man. Like, where do you feel like it? What's your most optimal weight? Like, where are you when you're like, this is, um, so I stepped on a scale recently and I was like, Oh, so probably like, I'd probably like to be 170, 175 maybe.
00:11:10
Speaker
Uh-huh. Gotcha. Cause I just have a little more excess fat that I like didn't, it's not like crazy. I mean, it's obviously like nobody else is going to notice kind of thing, but just more than I'm used to. Cause I'm used to being really skinny. Right. Um, I'd like to lean out a little bit. I always find it like funny cause you and I are like the same height, but we carry weight differently. Very differently. You know, like where it's like my optimal weight would be like big for you.
00:11:40
Speaker
You know, it's like weird that way, you know.
00:11:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think to like, I don't know, I probably could weigh more and look fine. I think I'm just used to weighing less. And I also like all my clothes were too small. Oh, sure. Like I had to go up and like weigh size and pants. And now like, I feel like I'd look a lot better just having clothes that like fit. That fit. And I had to go from a medium to a large, which I should have been a large for like a while. I did this like a couple of years ago. So
00:12:10
Speaker
Yeah. But I would still wear mediums and they just look super tight on me. Yeah. And you have to be in really good shape to wear tight, tight clothes. I don't even think it looks good for people who are jacked. It's like, come on, buddy. No, I don't disagree. What are we doing here? I mean, you don't want things that are baggy, but tight. Yeah, I like a nice breathable fit. Yeah. I went to Levi's. You ever been to a Levi's store? Not a store, no.
00:12:40
Speaker
so you probably know that i'm not one to buy new clothes i do know yeah i like your item have you well so kind actually think of listen to this buddy
00:12:53
Speaker
So I went to- What's the name of the episode by the way? Listen to this buddy. What were you saying? I need new pants. Because I only had like one pair of jeans that I wear all the time and I was like, all right, I need, and they were like dark wash and I was like, I need light wash jeans and I need some, I got some chinos too. But anyway, I went to the Levi store.
00:13:14
Speaker
They got some good shit at the Levi's store. They do, I bet. Yeah, they have so many jeans and they're all like, so basically the jeans are like a hundred bucks or whatever, but they had a deal running where if you bought like two items of any sort, you'd get 30% off everything.
00:13:33
Speaker
so i got a pair of jeans two pairs of chinos and a t-shirt but there is this jacket that i just like it was calling my name bro did you know i was like yeah i bought it yeah play a sound effect for that dude it was
00:13:54
Speaker
Oops, I played it twice. We love participating in capitalism on this. Yeah, I think it qualified as an item. It was like
Shopping Adventures and Suit Rentals
00:14:02
Speaker
130 bucks. And I just bought it on the whim. And I was like, it's about to be summer. But I just Alex was trying on some clothes and I put on the jacket and I was like, God damn, I look good. You made a mistake. Yeah. Because I mean, you'll have it next winter. Show me. You want to see. All right. Should I pause the pod or do you want to fill time? I'll pause the pod. OK.
00:14:22
Speaker
Jar wait, don't react yet. Oh, I react. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. We're back moment I have the jacket on I'm gonna take or no, I guess I'll leave my headphones on I can stand away Whoa, that is a sharp jacket, dude. I like the collar. I like the color It's I like the jacket. Is it blue or green?
00:14:43
Speaker
It's kind of like a teal, I guess. Oh, yeah. That on the video. But I think it's kind of bluish. It's a sick piece. That was a good snag for sure. I like I wasn't going to buy it, but you would have regretted it. It would have. I know. And the thing was I had like the 30 percent off deal. And I was like, if I buy this in season, it's probably going to be even like more than it would be now. Yeah. But I was able to wear it at least once. And I was like, I look sick in this jacket.
00:15:11
Speaker
Yeah, that jacket's a cool, cool jacket. That was a good snag for sure. I forgot to tell the boys that I got my item. I've been waiting around talking shit, being like, Jack never bought his fucking item. Dude, I spent $300 at the Levi's store. I don't know if I've ever spent that much on clothes at one time. At one time, yeah, no way. You're changing, man.
00:15:33
Speaker
Dude, I needed some new clothes. A lot of the stuff I have just doesn't fit me well. Yeah, I've been getting rid of a ton of clothes too. Dude, how fucking cool do I look in this bad boy? It's a gray jacket. I like that jacket a lot. Jack looks sick as hell.
00:15:50
Speaker
It's going to look so good with your Allbirds. Yeah. I need to do a photo shoot that we can use on the Instagram. I'm going to pay a professional photographer. We fly Alex to Austin. We pay him in, I don't know, what would be exposure? That rules.
00:16:19
Speaker
I am going to a wedding next month, and next week I'm in the wedding, so I have to rent a suit. I have to pay to rent a suit. Does that count as an item, even though I'm just renting it? How much is it? Or do I need to buy the suit? Maybe if you buy like a, like spend way too much on a tie for the suit. Like a $300 tie.
00:16:43
Speaker
I have shoes that I think will work for it, but I'm sure if I'm running a suit, it also comes with shoes that are packed for- So one thought I did have, I guess it depends on what you're after, but I don't think I really need any jeans higher quality than $100 Levi's that were $70 after my discount. That's how much a Levi's cost? $100? I guess they're nice ones or something, but- Yeah, jeans, I feel like you can get whatever.
00:17:12
Speaker
Quality genes, denim's denim, I think. Yeah, not all would agree. Unless it's Japanese denim. Yeah. I don't know what that means, but I agree with you. The Japanese make denim really well. Notoriously. That's what all samurai uniforms are made out of.
00:17:42
Speaker
Do you think like you could get away with doing, if you wore like a full samurai outfit for Halloween, is that allowed? Or is that like, would you get in trouble for appropriating the samurai? If it was allowed, if we're asking, would you get appropriated? That probably means you would get in trouble for appropriating.
00:18:05
Speaker
right? That's a fair point. I don't know for sure because I mean, I certainly wouldn't wear a Japanese samurai suit in a mocking nature. I have nothing but the utmost respect for samurai. Yeah, but I mean, that's like the case for any sort of costume you're going to do probably. I mean, unless it's egregious, but then people will still
00:18:28
Speaker
I already have my Halloween costume and it's my Halloween costume for forever now. Oh, hell yeah. We'll get to that. But first, do you think it would be OK if it was all denim?
00:18:40
Speaker
If it was all denim, yeah. I think it would be okay. I think for some reason that makes it okay. I don't think you would. Yeah, for sure. I can't put my finger on why, but I would have no concern wearing the denim version of it, but the other, like a normal version, I might be like, I shouldn't do this. I would have second thoughts.
00:19:04
Speaker
Yeah, no, I agree. Denim is cool. Denim is allowed. Do you think you could dress as a ninja? Yes. I think so too. Don't know why. I don't know why. We need to have someone who knows more about this stuff. A ninja's fine. I don't know why Denim inherently feels like...
00:19:26
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. A ninja's fine. Samurai questionable. I think because I have definitely seen kids dress up when I was a kid. I was definitely a ninja for Halloween before. I don't think I ever was, but I've definitely seen ninjas on Halloween.
00:19:41
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I was big into being a superhero. You know, that was like my go-to when it was like when you were really dressing up. But you want to know my Halloween costume. Yes, I do. You know, if you're willing to share a cowboy. I have the boots. I have jeans. I bought a cowboy shirt for my trip to Nashville that I'm like, well, if I'm going to buy this, I have to at least wear it on one Halloween. And then I'm like, well, I'm going to wear every Halloween. Dude, well, that's good because now you'll like actually wear your hat at least once a year.
00:20:11
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I wore my hat a lot in Nashville.
Travel Tales: Nashville Trip
00:20:14
Speaker
My hat, I'm just looking for reasons and in Austin, I'm going to a music festival next month or in June. I'm wearing my cowboy hat there for sure. Hell yeah, brother. I'm like just looking for a reason to wear cowboy hat, but the cowboy shirt feels a little like, Oh, I have to like be doing cowboy shit, you know, or Halloween, you know, or be in Texas or Nashville or whatever the fuck.
00:20:40
Speaker
Yep, makes sense. Do you want to recap your Nashville trip? I didn't hear about it. Did you guys end up going with the magician?
00:20:48
Speaker
No, no, it was too expensive. I mean, we had like 15 people. So it was like, it was just a dinner reservation. That's like every just a quick sidebar. Every time I'm with my like, my family, it's like, it's so hard to get dinner reservations. Because like in Austin, you'll have four people sometimes and you can't get a reservation. And right. But anyway, go ahead.
00:21:15
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, there were 15 other people. So 16 people total. They were all cool. Like, that was the thing I was kind of nervous about. I was like, I'm not gonna like all these people. I did like every single person.
00:21:29
Speaker
Um, but it was hard to like, like I eventually would just like break off and when they would go out to like the real big party bars, I'd go to like some small dive bar that had country music and be like, I'm not drinking. I don't want to fucking, you know, I was like, I don't want to like feel like I'm holding you guys back or whatever, you know? So me and some of the people like went off and did like more low key shit, like at night. Um, but it was really fun. And then I got back from Nashville and then like,
Reunions and Reminiscence with Trey Easey
00:22:00
Speaker
A week after Nashville, Trey Easey came to New York. Oh, Trey Easey. Yeah. So we got some Trey Easey hanging. Trey and I were talking, it was awesome. It was so good to see Trey. And Trey and I were talking about it and we realized that the last time we had seen each other in person was Jewel Pod Girl Night, or that week in Austin. That was the last time Trey and I had seen each other in person.
00:22:27
Speaker
That's crazy. That was like seven years ago, six years ago. That's actually insane. Isn't that nuts? I'm trying to think. I've definitely seen his wedding for sure. His wedding was after that, right? Yeah. His wedding was like a year before AJ's wedding. That all happened COVID. Have I seen Trace since then? Since his wedding. I can't remember.
00:22:54
Speaker
I don't know. Anyway. It was great chilling with Trey. We got Indian food. He came to one of my shows. We chilled heavy. We talked to Zens. We talked, you know. At one point in time, Trey and I were at a bar.
00:23:11
Speaker
And we each did our verse from divine intervention. Whoa. That was sick. It's crazy that I remember it word for word still. I don't think I'll ever forget that. I can probably tell you both of those.
00:23:35
Speaker
Yeah, we should we should do something sometime like an online hang. We should train. We're talking about doing a Dungeons and Dragons thing. Yeah. Can you do? I don't know how that would work online. Trey said we should be able to do it because he he says he played online with people during covid. So he'd know how to like run. And the thing is, we need someone who can be the DM, which is a trace going to DM. He he he's like played a lot. So he knows how. Yeah, I know how to play. Like I've played.
00:24:05
Speaker
I've played quite a few times. Yeah, yeah. Trey and I talked about it. We were like, we should do like a D&D thing, like one shot. Plus if you've played Baldur's Gate, I mean, it's like literally the same thing. Yeah, exactly. So you'll notify. I haven't played Baldur's Gate in a while. I'm probably behind you now.
00:24:21
Speaker
Um, I think I might be at the same spot where you were the temple of shaar. Yeah, that's where I am. Yeah, word. Yeah, that's right. And there's puzzles and I write and I wasn't in like, I wasn't in mind. I like started doing it. I'm going to, I was like, I'm not in the mindset to do like, like hard thinking puzzles. That is the thing I run into every time I haven't
Gaming Ventures: Baldur's Gate
00:24:44
Speaker
touched it. I haven't touched it in like almost a week now.
00:24:48
Speaker
I'm really invested in what is happening, but every time I have a chance to play a video game, I'm like, I don't want to fucking do the hard temple of sharsh it right now. Yeah. I'm thinking about just looking up a guide online and just doing it. Yeah. I mean, I certainly have looked up some helpful stuff that have helped me on some of it, but I've just been like, that game is so hard and I've been like, I'm just not in the mood to play video game that hard.
00:25:16
Speaker
I want to play hell divers. So apparently that's a fun cross platform online game. No, dude, we should do a campaign on Baldur's Gate though. I would do it if it's not cross platform yet. I thought it was, but it's actually not, but it's coming at some point. So we'll do it once it comes, but we could do that as like our, um, I think instead of doing like dnd, I would think playing dnd would be more fun. I love dnd. I've always wanted to play. It's so fun. But the thing is.
00:25:44
Speaker
Like I just couldn't get a group together. I don't know enough to like DM and then you have to get a lot of people together and then people have to be like actually invested in it, which is kind of tough. A buddy of mine, he said that like a board game shop just opened up next to his apartment or like in his neighborhood. And he says that once a month they do like how to play Dungeons and Dragons.
00:26:11
Speaker
And me and him talk about, I've been saying for forever that we want to play Dungeons and Dragons. So we're going to go to the how to play D and D things. So the more people that we have in our online thing, cause I'll learn how to play from doing that. And the more people that we have who know how to play, I think, dude, I think, um, you know, we should do, uh, I'll tell you after, cause I don't want to spoil it. It could be good content.
Milestone Reflections and NFT Comparisons
00:26:39
Speaker
fair, but, Oh, this is episode 99. We need to talk about that. It's episode 99. Isn't that crazy? So we need to do something big for episode 100.
00:26:52
Speaker
I, we talked about it off air. I don't want to say on air. Yeah. I was literally just thinking that. So we'll, we'll talk about it on air and it involves nudity. Yeah. Oh, for sure. A lot of the NC 17 cut. Yeah. Naked podcasting. Yeah. That's the, but you always see like, dude.
00:27:15
Speaker
We were both naked podcasting, but you can't see below the waist, but it leaves so much to the imagination. We are naked. We are naked, for sure. Oh, we would make so much money, the naked podcast. We dropped, there was some technical error, and then people see that we are actually wearing pants.
00:27:39
Speaker
There's outrage amongst the listeners. You have your new jacket tied around your waist. They're clothed. You're wearing socks.
00:27:54
Speaker
Dude, we should look into naked podcasting. That would be huge. It could be big. Huge for business. We've got to monetize somehow. We've had so many great ideas for monetization. Blockchain technology. We're going to start NFTs at one point. That's how long we've been doing this podcast. We were doing this podcast at the rise of NFTs. You know what's interesting? I think
00:28:21
Speaker
This podcast has lasted longer than NFTs. Like, I think we were here before NFTs were really. Yeah. And then. Because we were heavy podcasting in the GameStop days. And that was like that immediately preceded NFTs, I feel like. Yeah, I think so. It was just all the people were spending money on the dumbest shit like the NFTs were the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Genuinely. It's like you owe the rights to the picture.
00:28:50
Speaker
But it's like I can just take a fucking screenshot of it. Yeah, it's it was very I feel like we've covered this. Yeah, we thought we talked about NFTs for a while. I mean, it's not too late to start a block chair or timeshare on the blockchain. Yeah, there could be a renaissance of timeshares and the blockchain. That would be huge for us. I mean, is blockchain is that in a bad place right now? I don't know. You never hear about crypto anymore. I feel like people are talking about AI instead of blockchain now.
