Technical Recovery and Podcast Introduction

00:00:00
Speaker
Yo, everybody. We're here. Yo, yo, yo. What's up? What's up? Yeah, we had some technical difficulties last time, but we're back again. Yeah, so far so good. I was a little nervous popping on to the software to record because last time we recorded it fucked up so out of nowhere, but so far it seems to be working pretty well. Yeah, so I'm gonna try and play the theme song. Let's see how this goes. Yeah, we're figuring it out.
00:00:28
Speaker
It could be a bit louder, I feel like. I think so too. I wonder how it sounds to the audience. Let us know. Because to us, it's pretty quiet. When I listened to it last time, it was a little quiet, but... I like the theme song playing well. It feels more organic. I also like actively talking through figuring out on the podcast. Yeah. Don't we have something to say?
00:00:52
Speaker
Oh, yeah, we would be remissed if we did not mention this is the podcast for talk sauce by talk sauce. Dude, it's raining here. It's raining here too. I don't know what it is, but typically like I'll want to do like something after work. I'll either go climb or I'll go to the gym or something. But today I'm just like I don't feel like doing anything.
00:01:13
Speaker
Well, it's a rule of threes, right? Like you need three things, work, home, and then like a variable thing. Yeah. When it's like rainy and shit, you're just like, I just want to go home, but you're working from home. So you're just like, I just want to continue to be here.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah,

Gaming Adventures in Baldur's Gate

00:01:30
Speaker
yeah, I don't know man. I'm just feeling feeling pretty tired and I've been I want to play some Baldur's Gate to be real. Where are you in Baldur's Gate? So I went to like rescue that Hasland dude.
00:01:46
Speaker
Oh yeah and the goblin camp. Yeah so I got to him and then he like so basically something happened where I need to like rest my character to get some ability back to where you have like the intimidation over the goblins. Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:02:02
Speaker
Yeah, because it's fucking hard to get out of goblin camp. Well, I haven't even gotten to I've like gotten to the bear, but I haven't like rescued him yet. Yeah. But so how do you rest? You just go to like your camp. Yeah, go to camp. And then how do you get back to where you were in the game? You write like do like a short rest.
00:02:25
Speaker
Like a really that dial thing, but you need a full rest to re up all your shit. And you just, you go to camp and then oftentimes you should go to camp like periodically. Like I go like once a session when I play because it, it does also like push forward some narratives. So some of the people in your party, like dialogues will pop up and you can chat and kind of advance storylines with certain people. Um.
00:02:55
Speaker
Like you're probably like, when you go to camp, it's going to be probably a whole gaming session of you just talking to people. Cause you're like a few hours in at this point.
00:03:04
Speaker
yeah i think i've probably played like four or five hours yeah like uh you're kind of at a point where a lot of like their stories that will pick up the rest of the game like kind of announce themselves but you just in a rest and then the leave camp it's the same way you go to camp so do you just go to camp or do you have to do something while you're
00:03:25
Speaker
Like, so the last thing I did, I just went to camp and then I just stopped playing. So I need to like sleep, like walk to the fire where the sleeping bags are. And to get full rest, you have to like collect certain things. Like I think the game inherently gives you a couple of like, like resting supplies, but it's like food and shit.
00:03:43
Speaker
You can pick that up, you can buy that from merchants. There's so much going on in the game. It's crazy. I still don't really know what I'm doing. It takes you 10 hours to figure out how to play the game. Every choice you make has such world-impacting consequences that I'm constantly like, it's one of those games that when I'm playing, I'm on the internet a lot, being like,
00:04:11
Speaker
I kind of, what do I want to do here? You know, so like not fuck up other things that I'm doing. That's crazy. I love it though. Cause the past few games I've played have been very like intense, I guess. And that like combat is a huge thing and you're like kind of stressed out while you're playing, but this one's just so narrative driven and then the combat's like turn based. So it's like kind of intense, but it's chill at the same time and that you don't have to be like sweating like while you're playing, you know,
00:04:39
Speaker
Yeah, and the combat is hard, but I know exactly what you mean. It feels a little less intense because it is turn-based, but my biggest gripe with the game
00:04:50
Speaker
is if I'm in a combat, that's like me versus like 10 people, and I have to sit through all of their turns. It kind of drives me nuts sometimes. That is kind of like when you're playing actual D&D in the combat, it feels like it takes forever and nothing happens. So it kind of stays true to that.
00:05:11
Speaker
It does make me want to play D&D and it also has given me respect for it. I really only sit down and play once or twice a week. It's not one of those games that like has taken over my life, even though it's like been a part of my life for like a month and a half now. Oh, really? So you've been playing for a good bit then. Yeah, I've been playing for a little while, but I'm really still in the first actor of you. No, I left. I
00:05:36
Speaker
picked it, I took like two weeks off and then I picked it up and I could have gone to act two or stayed in act one and figured some shit out that I didn't want to do. And I kind of just rushed into act two because I was ready to move on. But in hindsight, I do kind of regret that because there was some stuff that like
00:05:54
Speaker
I kind of missed out on- We definitely need to do a multiplayer campaign. How does that even work? I don't know. Alex has done it before. I know Alex plays. He'd probably be down. Yeah, I mean, you can probably do a good amount of people. My internet's kind of crappy right now.
00:06:15
Speaker
It doesn't register that way to me, but it is a very fun game. I feel like Kelly would like that game a lot. Dude, I think he would too. But he does kind of like those games that are like super intense, like fighting games and stuff. I mean, but this game is also like not easy, you know? So he would like feel challenged by this game, which I know he likes, which you and I are a little less interested in feeling super challenged all the time. But it is it's not an easy game, so I think he would.
00:06:44
Speaker
get that out of it. Yeah, I'm reading something about it to say how multiplayer works right now. Yeah, we definitely should do it. What's been going on with you beyond Baldur's Gate?

Golfing Success and Challenges

00:06:57
Speaker
Um, not much, man. I've just been chilling. I've been playing a lot of golf lately. I've been on like my best stretch of golf of my career. I've shot in the eighties, four times in a row. That's unreal sick. And that that's not fluke either. It's just like, no dude, last time too. I shot in 87 last time I played, but I putt so bad. Like I think it was the best I've ever played, but I just was like three putting everything. It was unbelievable.
00:07:25
Speaker
Dude, putting is like, I feel like I know there is a way to get good at putting, but I feel like putting is just luck. So yeah. So the problem was like the greens were in terrible shape and half of them were like, like the grass was basically dead. It was kind of like mud that was like hard, like dead hard. It was like super fast. And then in other parts on the same green, it would be like just nice grass. So it was just like impossible to judge the speed.
00:07:59
Speaker
Yeah. Golf is like the ultimate, like you're your own worst enemy. Like the second you get in your head, you're toast. Yeah. But I've just been, I've never hit the ball this well. Like George kind of gave me some tips on my swing and I've finally started to like internalize it. Like I'm actually taking like divots when I hit it and stuff. Sometimes it's crazy. Yeah. And, but this last time we played, I went with, um, two of my coworkers and then we got like paired up with this random guy as well.
00:08:18
Speaker
And then it was kind of getting in my head too. Yeah, I feel like.
00:08:26
Speaker
And we had this group in front of us who they were like, there were two people in a cart and then two people walking and they had this like giant dog with them. They were walking with it and they were playing so slow. It was like with them on the golf course. Yeah. People do it at like the Austin municipal courses. They bring dogs with them, but they were playing so slow and there was no one in front of them. And we're just like every shot. We were just like waiting for like a few minutes behind and try and go around them.
00:08:56
Speaker
I don't know, like they were always like gone by the time we got out of reach. It was dude, it was ridiculous though. They were playing so slowly and we were playing at 330. Like we started at 330. So it was like close to whether or not we were going to finish.
00:09:11
Speaker
Does it close at a certain time or something? They usually like, well, it was getting dark. So, but they also, they usually want the carts back by like before it gets dark. But anyway, at this one point they were walking and the dog like ran away. So the guy was like in the fairway, like chasing his dog down. But at that point we were all just like cracking up.
00:09:36
Speaker
We were annoyed, but it was also just hilarious. And then at the end, like the whole for the last few holes, the group behind us was like, like waiting with us like on every tee box, basically. Yeah. And they were like, can we just play these last two holes with you guys? And we're like, OK, so we ended up playing. I think we played like a seven some going in and we're still keeping up in front of us. Unreal. It was ridiculous. And then on the last hole,
00:10:05
Speaker
we were like waiting to hit. And there were two greens kind of right next to each other. And I think what was going on is there's his dad, like taking pictures of his kid who was on the other green, but he was just standing like on the 18th green. And we were just like waiting for him. And he was just like taking pictures, like had no idea. We're gonna have some. We're like, Hey, like ran off.
00:10:28
Speaker
It was like, I think those last two holes, I played worse than I would because it was so freaking chaotic. Yeah, sure. Playing with seven people, there's balls everywhere. We had four cards. It was chaos. That rules. Yeah, it's been fun though. I mean, and then I've just been like climbing and doing a lot of stair stepper, you know? Hell yeah.
00:10:52
Speaker
the people that I golf with and on Masters Sunday, we're gonna golf in the morning and then just post up and watch the rest of the Masters. Oh, that sounds sick. Doesn't that sound awesome? Yeah. When is that April something? The first full week of April. So it's not a week of April 1st, but it's the week after.

Anticipation of the Total Eclipse

00:11:13
Speaker
You know, we're getting that total eclipse down here. Did you hear about that? Is that the thing that happened right after we graduated college?
00:11:21
Speaker
No. So this one, it's going to get completely dark during the day. When? April 6th. Oh shit. That sounds crazy, dude. Yeah. Everyone's like taking the day off work and apparently like millions of people are coming into like the hill country area, like from all over the world. Yeah. I took off the day and just going to like chill in the park because it'll go all the way across and it
00:11:44
Speaker
gets completely dark, and apparently when it gets completely dark, animals start freaking out. It randomly gets dark in the middle of the day. So you're going to go post up at Zilker or something? Yeah. The thing is, apparently traffic around the city is going to be crazy. Alex's hospital declared a state of emergency or something because there are going to be so many people coming in.
00:12:07
Speaker
Whoa, dude. There's a park right next to my apartment. I'll probably just end up chilling there so I don't have to drive. That's smart. Just going to post stuff all day. Play games, drink, and hang out. It looks like it's going to be going right over AJ too. Oh yeah, I did hear that it was going through Buffalo. That's right. Yeah, I'm looking at the map right now. Damn, that sounds awesome, dude. Yeah, and it's like a once in a lifetime thing. It doesn't seem like it'll even affect where I am. No.
00:12:34
Speaker
And I know people travel for this kind of stuff. And my brother went, I think he went to Australia for one. Your brother did? Yeah, but he's like, he does. That's like his profession, basically. He's doing that in grad school. Oh, OK. Damn, where's he in grad school? Rice. Oh, whoa. Damn, that sounds awesome.
00:12:56
Speaker
I wish I was like interested enough in this to be like, I'm going to travel for this. Dude, so I was just in Fredericksburg and apparently like that's the wine place, right? Yeah, but it's a little it's like directly in the hill country, like an hour and a half to two hours west of Austin. And that's like prime, like exactly where you want to be. Like you get a lot. I think here in Austin, I want to see like exactly how much like
00:13:25
Speaker
Complete darkness you get hotels up there probably are up in the rates like crazy. Oh, yeah. It's like it's going to be insane. Like a ton of people are coming through, but there's some sort of here. Let's see what it says. In April, you may see the total clip. How long is it supposed to last? Like literally all the whole thing. No. So the whole thing, I'm not exactly sure how long it lasts, but like,
00:13:51
Speaker
the complete darkness is going to be for like a couple minutes, I think in Austin. So just like in the middle of the day, just going to get completely dark. Dark is in like as dark as it gets at nighttime or dark is in like, like a new level of darkness.
00:14:08
Speaker
I think like completely dark. I think like nighttime. Is it going to be like this scientific definition of pitch? No. So the moon just like perfectly lines up against the sun and just like blocks it out completely. That's wild. But I don't think it's like you can't see, you know, like an inch in front of you. You can't see your hand. That would be dangerous.
00:14:37
Speaker
Yeah, but I think Austin gets like a couple minutes and then I need to look it up specifically but and then in Fredericksburg is like where you get the longest basically, so Alex and I were there Two weekends ago. Yeah, and There was like it so there's all these wineries right and then they all have like huge properties and
00:14:59
Speaker
There's this one that's like this winery brewery distillery combo that has this massive thing and like a stage. And they were like selling tickets for this thing called eclipse fest that they were like playing during the eclipse and they had fricking the goo goo dolls and switch foot play. That's like the best way to spin the eclipse. Yeah. Here they're vampire weekends playing an outdoor show.
00:15:21
Speaker
And I was like, that sounds sick, but the tickets were like 200 bucks. And I was like, no, not that sick. It sounds sick, but it would be really cool. But yeah, they're doing like concerts and shit during it. It's really cool. Dude. Yeah. It would be awesome to go post up at a concert somewhere if there was like a cheap one. Yeah. I'm assuming all the parks in Austin are just going to be like popping. Oh yeah. I'm worried it's going to just be like rainy or something. Yeah. Something's going to fuck it up. That sounds crazy though.
00:15:51
Speaker
Oh, here we go. This is talking about partial eclipse starts. This is in Austin starts at 1217. Totality is between 136 10 seconds and 137 or 138 basically. Wait, so totality between 130. It's basically two minutes. It's just under two minutes of complete darkness. Okay, then it the full one last actually like
00:16:20
Speaker
like two hours and 40 minutes. And that's what hill country is getting. Well, no, sorry. The full like eclipse, meaning like any part portion of the sun is covered by the moon last for like almost three hours, but then it's going to be only completely dark. So this isn't like people in Dallas, people in New York City like aren't going to see it like this. Dallas, I think you will.
00:16:46
Speaker
Here, let me show, there's like a, here. How does this differ from the thing that happened? Do you remember? Yeah, there's like partial eclipses. There are partial eclipses where you can see the moon like partially cover the sun, but this one's a total eclipse. So it's- So that thing you sent me, it has those gray bars. That's like where the eclipse is gonna be, I guess. That's the only like path where you can see. Yeah, and I think annular means it like partially covers. I'm not exact. Oh, that must be the last one.
00:17:16
Speaker
So I have a year ago or last fall in Austin. Yeah, because I remember I looked at you get the glasses and then. Yeah. Damn, that's crazy, dude. Yeah, it's everyone's like freaking out about it. But yeah, I just took the day off. I'm just going to chill. It's a great excuse to take a day of work off. Yeah, why not? April six. Is that a Friday? It's on a Monday, I believe. Oh, OK. Nice. So three day weekend. It's actually April 8th. I lied. OK, that's
00:17:46
Speaker
That's like a Tuesday Monday or Monday. Okay. Yeah. Well that three day weekend sit out in a park. Yeah, exactly. In complete darkness. Stare at the sun. Yeah. I remember in like 2017, like I was, I was working at Yelp. It was like my first couple of weeks in New York.
00:18:08
Speaker
And we all went outside in the middle of Manhattan. I did that exact same thing. And I don't like, I remember being outside, but I don't remember what the fuck we were looking at. I remember you go outside and they give you those glasses that are super dark and you just look at the sun. You remember that picture of Trump? Yes. That's so funny.
00:18:28
Speaker
I'm just looking directly at it. It's funny I was with some people. Then we were trying to remember when that was and I was like, oh yeah, didn't Trump do that thing? And then they were like, I was just trying to figure out when it was based on when Trump was in office because I remembered him looking at the sun. Yeah, that was a very memorable era of my life. So it was like Trump presidency.
00:18:56
Speaker
like early Trump presidency, 2017, that's crazy. It's crazy to think that feels like a lifetime ago, man. That's so nice. It really does. Doesn't that feel like forever ago? Now we're going back through the cycle all over again.

Political Climate Fatigue

00:19:12
Speaker
It's crazy. Run it back, baby. We can't escape.
00:19:17
Speaker
Just like existential nightmare of these two old ass men screaming at each other. It's exhausting. Yeah, dude. So there's something else I wanted to talk to you about when I was at Fredericksburg. So there's like this. It's basically just this main street. It's kind of like the Fredericksburg Square, but everything is just on one strip. It's kind of like. Have you been to Breckenridge? Yeah.
00:19:44
Speaker
It's just like Breckenridge. So it's got like a mountain town kind of vibe? Kind of, not necessarily the mountain aspect because there are no mountains, but it's just like there's a long strip with like a bunch of shops and like restaurants and stuff on it. Yeah, sure. Okay, gotcha. It's just like that.
00:20:02
Speaker
And we were walking by, and we had walked by the store once, and someone's life-changing technology in the store, standing outside barking, basically. Yeah, yeah. And we were like, what is that? And we walked by, and we were like, yeah, whatever. And then next time we walked by, and they said it again, and we were like, all right, let's just go in and check it out. Right. So Alex and I walk in, and as soon as we walk in, three sales reps surround us. No one else is in the store. Yeah. And it's like a clothing store. So we're like, what is happening? Uh-huh.
00:20:31
Speaker
And then they start talking about this technology that they discovered that helped with all kinds of stuff. They're like, here, we'll give you a demonstration. So she pulled Alex to a few feet in front of me and started poking her in different places. And she was like, that hurts, right? And then she just threw a shirt around her neck.
00:20:55
Speaker
And then, like, poked her again. And she was like, better, huh? And we were like, what is happening? Was it better? I don't think so. And then she was saying that she was like, she basically, like, put her hands, like, before she put the shirt on, she put her hands on her shoulders. And she was like, see, this shoulder's much higher. And I think she was just, like, holding them, like, yeah, of course. And then she did the same thing with her hips. And I was like, OK. That's unreal. Then she puts it on. She's like, see, now they're even. Like, what the fuck is happening? And they were basically saying that,
00:21:25
Speaker
This guy discovered this particle that I want you to read the website like it. Let me just tell you everything that they claim that. Yeah. They do. It's unbelievable. That's hilarious. Just rotting someone. This hurts, doesn't it? How about now? Dude, here, hold on. I'm pulling this up real quick. How it works. Oh, my God, this shit.
00:21:55
Speaker
Oh my gosh, dude. OK, so I'm on their website right now. Yeah. It's like saying people who use it, whatever. And it says from grandmothers to gold medalists. And there's like an Olympic gold medalist. And the name on her tag is Gardner.
00:22:12
Speaker
No way. Yeah, it's like a track person. Oh my gosh. God, hold on. I'm trying to find... Okay, the science... Oh, no, no, no. I need the benefits. Here we go. Yeah, yeah. No, this is not... I need the science. Okay, here's just the overview.
00:22:37
Speaker
Tension release technology, TRT, is our proprietary new form of stabilized potential energy which interacts and communicates with the anatomy and physiology of the body, specifically the muscular system. TRT is our proprietary technology and we are the only company who has the scientific knowledge and the product line available.
00:23:01
Speaker
I'm trying to, okay, so the things it says affects increased ability to breathe, increased circulation, decreased muscular discomfort, decrease in joint discomfort, decrease in inflammation, better sleep, relieve stress, improved athletic performance. It just goes on. There's like all kinds of crazy shit like longevity of athletic career, increased oxygen. What is this called again? Tension release technology.
00:23:29
Speaker
I, you know, I typically, as you're well aware, due to my capitalistic leanings, don't support free advertising on the talk sauce podcast, but hearing about this specific item, I think it would be really good for everyone to get this to increase their ability to work longer and harder hours. I agree with that, but it's like some like metaphysical shit. And I was like, what is happening? They have a huge ass store. And then.
00:23:59
Speaker
They didn't even like let us go into the store and look around basically they like forced us to do this thing and like after that whatever let's leave yeah i was like i wonder how much that stuff cost so i looked it up later in the t-shirt is three

Fredericksburg Store Oddities

00:24:11
Speaker
hundred dollars the joggers.
00:24:13
Speaker
No, dude, they have t-shirts, $300, jogger, $400, a hat for 120, socks for 85. And I know how much overpriced clothes piss you off. Dude, well, this is just fucking nonsense. They literally, their description is just a bunch of words said together. They are going to make all the factory uniforms for Communist America, though. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, maybe it doesn't work,
00:24:43
Speaker
but on the off chance it does work, imagine how hard the people will work. Dude, cashmere scarf $750 cashmere blanket $1,200. And it's like this dude standing in the office like acting like he fucking discovered
00:24:59
Speaker
like the theory of relativity is crazy like it was one of those things where it's so awkward yeah you're like you're doing it you're just being held hostage yeah and you're just trying to get out of it but then in hindsight i'm like i would i should have asked them be like dude if this was true you'd have a freaking nobel prize like this is just nonsense
00:25:18
Speaker
Yeah, you'd have, you'd have some building at Harvard named after you. You know what I mean? You'd get on the lecture circuit. And they said they discovered a new particle. And we're like, what do you mean? I can't tell you too much. That's hilarious, dude. That rules. I believe him.
00:25:39
Speaker
I don't know if, what I was wondering is if he like believes himself. No, no way. He's a snake oil salesman, dude. He's traveling around the old Western towns talking about how you drink sugar cane and it cures your toothaches and shit. You know what I mean? This guy is fucking...
00:25:57
Speaker
Yeah, this shit was wild though. And it was crazy because nobody was in the shop because they were being so fucking aggressive. Like whenever they got anyone to come in, they would freaking swarm them. Yeah, just leave the shop open people. Yeah. And I was like, just leave the shop open and let people like browse and you'll sell like at least one t-shirt. But then later on, I looked up the price and I was like, you probably need to like fucking spill some bullshit like go timeshare type.
00:26:23
Speaker
sales mentality. You have to go in to convince someone to spend $300 on a, it was like a Nike dry fit shirt is what it looked like. Yeah, that's exactly what I was picturing. They just threw it on their fucking neck and was like, see? That's so dumb. It was crazy, dude. I would have loved to have seen you watch this happen. I was just like, my jaw dropped. It goes against so many of what I understand to be your value. It was unbelievable, dude.
00:26:53
Speaker
I've never seen such a thing and they had like a prime like position on the like that rinse not cheap either is crazy. Dude, it's probably just some like VC funded or like honestly like he probably is super rich parents and he's just like his parents are just like we'll pay you and you'll leave us alone with your fucking t-shirts or whatever. I don't know. Surely they can't last long there.
00:27:22
Speaker
Dude, I'm going to Nashville next week.
00:27:26
Speaker
Oh, really? Yeah. Last time I was in Nashville, you, me and Kelly were playing the Andy Griffith trivia show. My sister's dorm, right? And your sister's dorm on Vanderbilt's campus. Do you remember that shit? That was a long time ago, dude. Dude, that was Kelly and I's go-to drinking game for forever. Was the Andy Griffith trivia game? Because you never knew the answer, so everyone had to drink.
00:27:55
Speaker
What are you doing? I'm going for a bachelor party. Oh, sick. Dude, I'm so excited. I haven't had a reason to wear my cowboy hat. Yeah, I was about to say that cowboy hat's coming out, right? Dude, I've just been staring at it on my dress or being like, I can't wait. So how long are you going to be there? I leave on Thursday and I come back on Sunday. Nice. Do you guys have anything planned out? I don't really know. I'm in charge of making a dinner reservation.
00:28:22
Speaker
They trust you with that? Yeah. I wouldn't. Dude, I got good taste. We have a big group, so it's tough. How many people? 15.
00:28:38
Speaker
Nashville subreddits and stuff. Reddit's the best tool. Just asking, like, hey, I have a big group. We kind of want to splurge on dinner one night. Any recommendations? And one person told me about a place in Nashville called Sleight of Hand.
00:28:56
Speaker
That is $100 a person said the food sucks, but each table has a magician. I was about to ask if magicians are involved as like, as a joke. No, that's really what it is. Like dinner and a show. I want to, but they have a dress code. And to make 15 people. And I'm like, I'm not not working out like blazers and stuff. That's stupid.
00:29:23
Speaker
Weirdly, every magic place I'm aware of, including this one, has a strict dress code. The Magic Castle in LA has a super strict dress code. Dude, you could probably just hire a magician. If it's 100 bucks a person, you could probably just pay 500 bucks to hire a magician, have him pay for his dinner at another nice restaurant. He just does magic.
00:29:51
Speaker
that would be awesome just have a magician follow us around okay i feel like who is this guy you can't tell anyone that the magician's coming
00:30:10
Speaker
Oh my god, dude, that'd be awesome. Great Carl. Dude, whenever I have my bachelor party, I'm hiring a magician. What does your bachelor party look like? Well, I didn't realize I needed a magician until right now. I feel like if it was your bachelor party,
00:30:30
Speaker
I would make the judgment call that we're going to the magic restaurant. Do you know how excited I would be about that? Yeah, I feel like I like if it was your bachelor party, I'd be like everyone needs to bring a dude. You know, it's kind of funny on that topic. My YouTube like algorithm has
00:30:53
Speaker
is now filled with this dude who makes magic tricks and explains how to do them. That rules. And I just keep watching them and I'm like, whoa. One day. I think if I ever have kids, I'm just going to become a magician for my children. That would be awesome. Have you thought about, is Bachelor Party something you'd want to do? Yeah.
00:31:17
Speaker
for sure. Where would you go? Have you thought about that? I have. Well, not like in depth, but I think I would, I'd like to do some golf for sure. Uh-huh. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. I've thought about like having kind of one where I like go out, like, I don't know, it seems dumb to like have two separate bachelor parties, but like part of me wants to do something where it's just like chill, like playing golf, like hanging out. And then another one is just like, you know, like going out drinking. Can you do both of those on the same trip? Yeah, you definitely can.
00:31:46
Speaker
You could do that. It's also an option. I feel like you could combine those two. I mean, I think it'd be sick to... Nashville is like a great spot for it. Nashville and Austin, I feel like are very similar in the way that they are destination for stag parties. Yeah. I definitely want to go. You live in one of the premier bachelor parties. Oh my God, yeah. There's so many bachelor and bachelorette parties come through here. I think probably like...
00:32:12
Speaker
Maybe like Florida or the Carolinas or something. Dude, I've never been. Yeah, Florida. Yeah, something like that. Miami. I don't know. What about you? I don't know. I feel like I would do some sort of like get together, I suppose. But I don't think it would be like this is the bachelor part. It'd be like an excuse to like make people like be like, I want to go here. So I'm making my friends go. Yeah.
00:32:41
Speaker
But I don't like on a trip. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. So I don't party. Yeah. Yeah. That's literally what it is. Yeah. And okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's fucked up. I feel like because this is the first bachelor party I've been on.
00:33:07
Speaker
I've been invited to a couple, but I haven't gone. This is the first one I'm going to. And I made it very known to the like head groomsman guy. Um, Oh yeah. Okay. This is the second bachelor party I've been to. Right. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. I went to Buffalo.

Bachelor Party Plans in Nashville

00:33:24
Speaker
Um, um, thanks for the reminder, but this is like, um, this is going to be like a bachelor party bachelor party. You know what I mean? That's going to be like, like, like, um,
00:33:36
Speaker
but I made it very known to like, what is it? It's like, who's like the main groomsman, one of the best man, right? I made it very known to the best man that it is of the utmost importance that we match. Oh, at least once. Ideally more, but at least once we're all matching. Do you have like a plan of what you're going to wear?
00:33:58
Speaker
Yeah. I don't think the guy would listen to this podcast. So I probably could say it here, but I know the, you never know. Our fan base, our fan base is constantly evolving. The best man wants to keep it a surprise. So I'll tell you, um, I'll tell you off air on the tell me off air. I'm at leak. Yeah. I'm known to leak, but, uh, yeah, there's, there's just tell me one thing. Yeah. Is it sick?
00:34:24
Speaker
I'm pretty pleased with it. Dude, that sounds badass. I'm really hung up on the idea of hiring a magician and just hanging out with you for a bachelor party.
00:34:40
Speaker
For like a batch like it when you one day have a bachelor party that magic is something you would be very into But I want the magician to just like be one of the boys for the night This is like this is the listing we put on whatever
00:34:57
Speaker
Um, you're a magician to come out with us. You don't have to constantly be doing magic, but you're just going to like be one of our friends for the night. And every once in a while you're going to bust out some magic. Yeah. If we ever run into an issue, like getting into a bar or something, like just show them a magic trick.
00:35:26
Speaker
so funny. Yeah, that rules. Maybe I'll just work on my own magic. Dude, you would be a great magician. I'm honestly surprised you don't have a couple tricks already. I used to have a pretty sweet trick. It just seems like something that you like young Jack would have gotten really into. Yeah, I did learn a trick that that worked every once in a while. So basically what you would do. So it all involved like
00:35:53
Speaker
shuffling a card to the top of the deck, right? Which like, you would just like, I don't know. I was doing it on my little brother, so I would just like put it on the top and be like, Oh, but what you would do is you get like a piece of like scotch tape and wrap it around your finger and then shuffle their card to the top of the deck.
00:36:10
Speaker
and then put the tape on it and slide your finger out, and then be like, is this your card? And they'll be like, no. You just pull out a bunch of random cards, and then they say no, and then you actually get pissed and throw the cards against the wall or against the ceiling, and then it would stick on the ceiling, and then they'll be like, oh. Dude, that sounds sick. I'd like to see that in action sometimes. I haven't done it since I was 12, but I can try it. It's not too late, dude.
00:36:37
Speaker
Do you kind of seem like a magic man yourself? I'd be into it for sure. It is something like I just like like titchy shit, you know, like I would love to go out to a magic show and wear like have to like dress up and dude if we ever get talks us to the point we're doing a lot live podcast, let's like market it is live. Yes, but then just like do an hour of just like magic.
00:37:00
Speaker
Really shitty magic. What if it was live podcast and magic show where it's like you and I are like doing magic, but we have an actual magician like like Penn and Teller or something. I'm not sure they listen.
00:37:15
Speaker
Probably dude, you should go to Vegas for your bachelor party because Vegas you could do the going out thing. You could do the golf thing I think now that you're saying it that's where I will go for my bachelor party. There's a reason Vegas exists So fun. Yeah, that's the other thing that's going on dude. Oh my god. I'm so sorry to cut you off I was listening to a podcast today and
00:37:41
Speaker
the person on the podcast has checked out how he just went to Vegas and he went to BattleBots. That's where they do BattleBots. Oh, shit. I need to plan my bachelor party around BattleBots. He's like, you could just go to BattleBots. They do shows and shit. You could tour the fucking arena. Damn. Can you control a bot?
00:38:02
Speaker
I wish, she didn't say, but that would be awesome. The rest of my bachelor, like the money for my bachelor trip, I'll be like, yeah, everybody Venmo me. I'll get all the flights for everybody. Like I'm booking dinner, just send me like a thousand dollars each and I'm just going to put it into development of a battle bot. That'd be sick. What would it be?
00:38:25
Speaker
The goon bot. Yeah, dude. Goon squad. We'd all wear matching t-shirts one night. Hell yeah. And it's a goon squad and yours would say chief goon or something. Hell yeah. I just wanted to have like the only thing is just a big hammer. Just wouldn't work very much. Yeah. Yeah, because you're gooning that fucking hard. Yeah, dude. Should we wrap this up? Yeah, I'm down. Here, hold on. Let me play the song.
00:38:56
Speaker
I can't believe you called me Bozo. Sorry dude. Just like every sound effect over the end credits. That's how I felt when you called me Bozo. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. We just roll into recording another episode. What's up everybody?
00:39:24
Speaker
Hey everybody! Okay, alright. Bye guys.
