Twitter Rebranding to X
00:00:19
Speaker
Yo, we're back. We back and we back and we back and we back. Does it look different to you?
00:00:27
Speaker
I don't think so. I think the interface looks like. I don't know. It might just be me. I saw this great meme the other day. I just was doing the Chance the Rapper and we back and we back. You remember that song? Nice. And I saw this great meme on a website formerly known as Twitter now called X the other day.
00:00:47
Speaker
Nice. And it was like damn, Chicago rap is in a tough spot right now. It was like Kanye's anti-Semitic, someone just died, someone's in jail and chants the rapper. And that was all I said.
Nostalgia for Acid Rap
00:01:01
Speaker
I just said, and chants the rapper. Man, that was so crazy because I remember when acid rap came out in college, like that came out kind of right when we started college, right?
00:01:15
Speaker
or maybe a thing. It was like one of those early. It was freshman year, I remember, because I remember vividly just listening to that over and over again when I got to college. I listened to it not too terribly long ago and I was like, this shit's still good. It's awesome. Yeah, I remember being obsessed with that.
00:01:34
Speaker
Um, but anyway, we'd be remissed if we were to not say that this is the podcast for talk sauce by talk sauce.

Elon Musk and Podcast Support Jokes
00:02:16
Speaker
What if we change the name to X and he makes us the official podcast of X? That would be kind of sick. He comes on like once a month. Just update us on what he's. Yeah, I'd go. I'd go full Elon Stan if that happens. Oh, for sure. This guy's a fucking visionary. He's so bold. He's just so ahead of his time. If Elon Musk wanted to finance this podcast, I would become the biggest Stan. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:02:46
Speaker
which don't get me wrong in capitalist america we are very big stands but just as like are we are not.
Capitalism and 'Selling Out' Humor
00:02:55
Speaker
I'm not a huge fan but but i'd sell out but my capitalist america tendencies are huge yeah.
00:03:02

Skeptical Response to Fan Email
00:03:16
Speaker
up. Give or no. Yeah, you say you say so. Basically, I my email is on some sort of
00:03:25
Speaker
podcast thing, I guess, whatever software we sell our data. They sold my data, which is interesting. Not surprising. Every once in a while, I'll get some messages about joining a podcast community. That wasn't the first time you've gotten an email about podcast.
00:03:44
Speaker
I've gotten some that are like join our podcasting like discord server or something like that.
Red Flags in Fan Emails
00:03:50
Speaker
This is the first time so I got one of someone requesting to be a guest of the podcast. Read it word on word. It's really long but I'll read like at least the initial part. That's the funniest part.
00:04:04
Speaker
it says hi john because they they don't really know me they just stole my data that knows like my my first name i mean it says it's yana j-a-n-n-a i would think is yana it's yana here a huge fan of talk sauce your show is a daily source of inspiration for me
00:04:24
Speaker
That sentence alone is shocking. This person actually believes that. A daily source of inspiration. That's the name of the episode, buddy. Yeah, that is the name of the episode, but they should be entered in like an asylum. That's actually the case. If you are
Potential Guests and Humor
00:04:40
Speaker
listening to this podcast and you feel inspired in any way, shape, or form, seek help. You should be on a watch list for sure.
00:04:49
Speaker
Absolutely. And then she goes on to say, I wanted to share that I came across someone I think would be an amazing guest, Ganesh Venkataramanan. Who we all know and love. Yeah. Quick facts about Ganesh. VP of pre-sales of a leading industrial software company. 20 years of experience scaling businesses from under one million to over 50 million in engineering slash simulation.
Guest Outreach Stories
00:05:20
Speaker
I don't know what that really means. And then there's a few more things that says with his experience, Ganesh has really profound perspectives on topics like exploring how science and faith can coexist, examining realities around the second coming of Christ. It's just weird how it goes from like a business thing to a religious thing. Yeah, could you like, it would be fun to have him on the podcast for like,
00:05:45
Speaker
three minutes and then we'd be like, fuck, we have to continue talking to this guy about
Podcast Script Jokes
00:05:50
Speaker
whatever he wants to do. And she went on to email me within. So three days in a row, I got emails from her and just about wanting to get Ganesh on the podcast. And I know we're just ask her what Ganesh's favorite episode is. Ask what her favorite episode is right now.
00:06:12
Speaker
Yeah. Be like, what's your favorite? We love to hear it. What's your favorite episode? Hold on. I have to make this sound legit. I'm going to say, hi, Yana. Thanks so much for reaching out. It's great to know. Toxas. Has been as impactful as we as it has been for us.
Podcast Soundboard and Format Reflections
00:06:41
Speaker
Okay, hold on. As it has been for us. We would love to discuss having. I've got to make it sound legit before. Yeah, yeah, totally. We'd love to discuss having Ganesh on the podcast. Out of curiosity.
00:07:09
Speaker
what particular topics on talk sauce are inspiring to you. And then I'll sign it, John.
00:07:27
Speaker
Yeah. Also, the fact that she referred to as John tells you that this person has never listened to this podcast. Yeah, the fucking theme song says Bo and Jack. Just a couple. I didn't even think of that. That's hilarious. OK, here's what I said, even though I just read it out. Let me let me read it to you. Yeah. Let me know if you have any feedback. Hi, Yana. Thanks so much for reaching out. It's great to know Toxas has been as impactful for you as it has been for us. We would love to discuss
00:07:56
Speaker
having Ganesh on the podcast. And then another paragraph, out of curiosity, what particular topics on Talksauce are inspiring to you? Let me add, I'll add one more thing. It would be great to know what has been particularly captivating to our audience. Get a reason for it. Yeah.
Podcast Origins and Milestones
00:08:22
Speaker
That's so good. I hope they respond.
00:08:26
Speaker
Yeah, to. No shot, they do. Yeah, no way. Right. I saw like their blog. Oh, my gosh. But yeah, I saw that and I was like, this is so ridiculous. What are they? They come back with time chairs on the block chain. We're like, fuck. Oh, my gosh. That's so funny. We've tried to. I mean, we've reached out to Kazoo Kid.
00:08:57
Speaker
Um, I don't know if I spoiled anything by saying, have we reached out to anyone else? Ganesh, if you count that, but Kazoo kid would have been huge. That would have been, that would have been a huge kid. We were in contact.
00:09:21
Speaker
Yeah, he responded to you, which is unbelievable. It's also insane that you found Kazoo Kid. Yeah, well, I didn't find him initially to discuss the podcast. Yeah, but still, you just like found Kazoo Kid. Yeah. Oh my God, it was so funny. And he probably listened to at least some of the podcast.
00:09:45
Speaker
Yeah, for sure probably like turned it on heard the theme song was like Man but dude, it's been a while the writer strike, you know impact production of the body out
Podcast History and Future Goals
00:10:00
Speaker
of Solidarity. Yeah, we actually just got waivers from the screen actors guild. Yeah We need this awesome Yeah, they said it would bring a lot of
00:10:13
Speaker
It would raise the spirits on the picket lines, and then they said as long as we don't promote any films that we are working on, we are okay. Which, good thing for us, we're not working on any films. There are no movies being created about talk sauce. Not yet, at least. Johnny Depp, directed by Woody Allen.
00:10:36
Speaker
Oh yeah. Johnny Depp plays both of us. We cast him as Johnny Depp and then Donny Jep. Oh my God, that would be cool. I have to admit, I stole that the writer strike joke from my brother, George. So shout out, George.
00:10:55
Speaker
Oh, really? Did he say that about the podcast? Yeah, because he was like, man, there hasn't been an episode in a while. Is the writer strike impacting talks? Big time. Yeah. Every episode is also completely scripted. So we can't hire writer. Yeah, I think that's been the issue is we do not write any of this content. None of it. It's all pre-written by some of the best writers in show business right now. Yeah.
00:11:22
Speaker
But again, waivers. So we're good. Dude, you know, it'd be sick if we could get like a sound board. I wonder if there would be any way to throw into the count effects. Like if I could, I wanted to just do like a.
00:11:35
Speaker
laugh track right there. If I can just throw in, if I had the power to just throw in a laugh track
Kentucky Family Reunion
00:11:40
Speaker
every once in a while, I'd feel like God. What if we crowdsource it? We started GoFundMe just for our listeners, find one for like 50 bucks, like the cheapest soundboard we can get. Yeah. Get everyone to throw in five bucks. If we could, we should look into this, but if we could do a soundboard A, but also if we could watch stuff together, like if we could share our screen and have the audio.
00:12:03
Speaker
go through. We change softwares to do that. That was the problem. And I really like it's definitely a software out there that would have it. Yes. But I wonder if we would because then castors free. Yeah. So we might have to pay for an additional thing. But this is I feel like this works really well, too, especially how it separates the audio files as opposed to when we did it with Zoom. It sounded like fucking terrible.
00:12:27
Speaker
We have the jankiest podcast on the internet for a year. It's still pretty janky, but slightly. We started in October of what year? 2020.
00:12:44
Speaker
Damn, dude, we're approaching the three-year anniversary of Toxos. That's unbelievable. We've passed the three-year. We hit three-year in October, 2023. We're approaching three and a half years. No, you're right. You're right. I had my dates. Did you get me confused for a second there? I was like, what year is it?
00:13:05
Speaker
I was like, oh shit, what's going on? I was thinking about it the other day, because it's almost August, and as we all know, August is the month of Doble B Day. It's nuts.
00:13:19
Speaker
kind of like years 25, 26, and really just 25 and 26, it kind of didn't happen. So it's like, I'm 27, I'm about to turn 27, I'm about to turn 29, 25 and 26 don't count. Yeah, I totally agree, except for Toxos was created, the brainchild.
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah, we had that bit for so long, we should do a podcast for the group chat, and then we had time because- Yeah, there's nothing else to do. The way we dropped it, that was awesome. Without saying anything. We didn't tell a single person, we made like three practice podcasts. We're like, all right, there we are. We bought a theme song. And a logo, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:10
Speaker
No, because we were making no. Yeah, we bought the logo later because we got it after we went on Spotify. The logo is still sick. The logo is actually looks legit. The theme songs. No, the theme songs. Awesome. It's it's awesome, but it's not like Elon Musk hires us to make X's official podcast. We're hiring that same guy to do the X X.
00:14:48
Speaker
We just go through it like read Elon's funniest tweets
00:14:52
Speaker
We're like, these are the funniest things that Elon Musk had to say. Oh, my gosh. You know what we could do is we create the podcast
Upcoming Colorado Trip Plans
00:15:00
Speaker
and we just call it like the X companion pod or something. And then we just dissect all of Elon's tweets and we like really hype him up. And then we try and go through different channels like we could get like the bot traffic on Twitter to really like bump up the podcast, you know. And then we I feel like we could get him on board with it because I feel like anyone who hypes him up, he just he just loves, you know.
00:15:21
Speaker
Oh, yeah. There was a podcast on X of us just hyping up Elon Musk. Anything he says. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, what's up, guys? We're like, you're a genius. What's up, you? You're net worth, baby. You're smart as shit. And Ridge. And so funny. The way you pwn the liberals, dude.
00:15:50
Speaker
Yeah we just said like 2008 internet lingo like major ponage that's on the soundboard.
00:16:02
Speaker
Oh my god. Dude, that would be sick if we got a soundboard though because we could just get like talk sauce greatest moments on the soundboard. And they're all 12 minute clips. It's like 12 minutes from like an earlier episode.
00:16:20
Speaker
Oh man, that would be awesome. Hey, remember the time when, like a 15 minute clip. You know how like late night talk shows have like the sidekick? Yeah. Our sidekick is chat GPT.
00:16:36
Speaker
That would be cool. We had Craig for a while. We just have a robot. We had Craig for like two weeks. He was kind of a bitch. Yeah, Craig sucks. Chat GPT would be way cooler. It's the robot that filters out what chat GPT says. Maybe we can make Craig GPT. Confine the two.
00:16:55
Speaker
That would be legendary. That is a pretty obscure talk sauce reference though, Craig. Shout out to you if you remember, Craig. I know I almost took a second to be like, oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, only pre-Spotify people could know Craig. Was that pre-Spotify? Yeah, because I don't want to... Should I spoil what it was? Wilson, if anybody can...
00:17:25
Speaker
I was going to say, we'll send some sauce and I really don't want to edit that out. I love the mystery of Craig. Craig was like a Discord moderator. Damn it, dude. Somebody could have gotten some sauce. We haven't sent sauce out in a while. I think we sent sauce and a box of protection.
00:17:49
Speaker
Have we said anything else? No, but I totally would. Yeah, we need to think of a way to send people some sauce again. That was a fun bit. I think we say Alex like a gallon of Frank's Red Hot. For having Meme of the Week, right? Yeah, we should bring that back. That was fun. We could have the Meme of the Week competition for sauce.
00:18:12
Speaker
Yeah, maybe not every week. We're sending out again. Meme of the just we'll call it meme of the week, but it's only this week. It's one time only.
Podcast Reflection and Future Plans
00:18:20
Speaker
We can only have a while. Yeah, with inflation, man, it's kind of hard to send out sauce. Dude, when I come to Texas for Christmas, we got to figure out the live recording again. Oh, yeah, we should. I wonder if we had something coming up that we wanted to do it for. Right. Episode 100. Was that it? Yes. What episode is this? I think this is 89.
00:18:42
Speaker
Okay, so 11 episodes it is yeah So we can do what we did with episode 69 and skip and then go back to episode 100 Yeah, well at this rate will be like 95 by the time we get to Christmas but Skipping and going back was so funny. That was a great bet
00:19:05
Speaker
When was the last time we did this? June at some point? Like two months? Let me tell you when we last released a podcast. It's been crazy. Yeah. And it's been like an insanely long period of time since we've done this. It's kind of crazy.
00:19:24
Speaker
I wonder how this numbers will do. I think the listeners are probably missing the sauce. Yeah. I'd be excited, man. I'm excited to be back. I'm excited to be back. June 13th is the last time we released. So like a month and a half ago, a little more than a month and a half ago, which means we probably recorded like... It was called Podcast of Darkness. I don't even know what that's about. That was the chat GPT thing.
00:19:50
Speaker
Oh yeah, because it was really terrified by our political agenda. It was trying to incite rebellions amongst our listeners. That was crazy. So what have you been up to, man? Man, I've been chilling. I went to Kentucky.
00:20:11
Speaker
Oh yeah. How is the bluegrass? How is the bluegrass state? Shockingly, green. Oh, that's the grass, yeah. Fucking bullshit. I don't know what that was about. We should file a lawsuit for false advertising. I'm thinking about it. I thought this shit was going blue. It was good, man. So it's for a family reunion.
00:20:37
Speaker
How many people were there? So my mom's side of the family, she's one of 11 and she's the second youngest. So her siblings have like grandkids and stuff. So you have like cousins who are probably quite a bit older than you? Yeah, like I stayed with my cousin who's like 50. That's amazing. Yeah, but it's I don't know the side of the family super well, but there were like at least 100 people there I would say.
00:21:05
Speaker
And I don't really know any of them. And it's it's it was pretty wild, but it was a lot of fun, man. It it was so beautiful out there. Like they were kind of out in the country. And just like, first of all, the scenery was really nice. Everything was super green, like hilly. But then you walked outside and you just the stars were unbelievable. Oh, you could actually see them. Yeah, like no light pollution. What was the closest big city? Louisville.
00:21:32
Speaker
Louisville. Okay. So yeah, there's like 40 minutes. Because it's like Louisville, Lexington, and then Cincinnati, Kentucky. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. But yeah, I was sick. I was only, it was very pretty.
00:21:51
Speaker
Yeah, I was only there for a couple days. But I got we were able to go to the gym beam distillery. And then how was that? It was sick. It was actually kind of crazy because so I've been getting into bourbon a little bit lately. Yeah, dude.
00:22:06
Speaker
Yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere. I think it might be the Kentucky ancestry rearing its ugly head, but Yeah, it was bound to happen. Yeah, I was bound to happen one day. I think it like skips a generation or something I don't know cuz my mom's not that in the bourbon you're people, right?
00:22:22
Speaker
Yeah, my dad is. My mom's not like a huge drinker in general. But anyway, we I've been into this one whiskey called Basil Haydens. Have you ever had it? No, it sounds good. And pretty much like every whiskey you can think of is made in Kentucky. Hmm. Sorry, cleared my throat and.
00:22:45
Speaker
This one, I was like, I wonder which brewery makes it or which distillery rather makes it while we were on the way. Like my parents picked me up at the airport and I looked it up and it was like Jim Beam. And literally Jim Beam, like within 10 seconds was right next to us. It was like, so you guys were like, let's just, we have to go. Yeah. So we went. It was like, cool. Yeah. It was really nice, dude. It's like, did you get a try whiskey and stuff? Yeah. Yeah. I sampled a bunch and get a like bottle your own.
00:23:12
Speaker
They had that, but we didn't do that.
00:23:16
Speaker
But it's really cool. Like I tried a bunch and then I went to another one, too, called Willet, which has like some some well-known ones. But we also my uncle is like super into bourbon and he brought like each night, he brought like 15 different bourbons and we just like sample. We just like sample. Yeah, we just like had like little tiny tastes of each and just sampled like all the 15 though. You probably get pretty wasted, though.
00:23:44
Speaker
yeah i mean i i didn't do it like overboard but i definitely was like my uncle was talking about how he did martial arts and i started talking about jujitsu and we were fucking like wrestling i think that was related do it i think that was related to the bourbon consumption
00:24:04
Speaker
Man, I've never wrestled my uncle. You know what we were talking about. You didn't know what we were doing. And then you started telling me you wrestled your uncle.
00:24:20
Speaker
Bro. Oh my god. The boss sounds sober. Yeah, yeah. Well, because he'd done like jujitsu in the past and like we were just like talking about like techniques and stuff and I was like showing him something and then like I figured we were just like standing up and like demonstrating it but then he like went like to the ground so that we just started. You were like, nah son. Yeah, I was like, it's on baby. That was pretty funny.
00:24:46
Speaker
That's hilarious. It was a lot of fun though, man. I really liked it out there. I would definitely go back. Yeah, that is wild. Could you name all your cousins on that side of the family? No, no shot. Not a chance. That's so much, dude. You could probably name all your aunts and uncles, right? Yeah. Ten of them? Yeah, I could do that.
00:25:12
Speaker
So there's 10 and then they all have kids and some of their kids have kids. Yeah. Yeah. And then like my mom's like some of my mom's aunt's uncle's and their family were there too. Do you like mom's kids? Did they all like have as many kids as like your parents had? No. Not like they're all like decent, like
00:25:36
Speaker
They all have like a few, like three to five or something. Oh, that's still a lot though. Yeah. I mean, like it's a lot in like normal society, but. Yeah. Not in the gardener's society. What else have you been up to? Do any other trips? No, going to Colorado in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah. You're seeing the strokes, right? Yeah. And it's going to be so sick. Hanging out. Yeah, I'm super excited. I've been so ready for the vacation. When is it?
00:26:06
Speaker
So we leave August 11th. Oh, that is coming up. That's like, yeah, I'm I just like booked the place for like. So we're going to do a few, I think like four days into in like Denver area. And then we're going to go to Breckenridge for the rest of it.
00:26:25
Speaker
That's so awesome. The ski towns in the summer are the shit. They're the best, dude. They're so pretty. It's better than when it's skiing time. I was looking at Airbnb's and compared to what you pay when you're skiing, it's so much cheaper. You can stay right on the mountain for a nice place for 200 bucks a night or something. Do you remember the last time? I assume you guys are renting a car.
00:26:51
Speaker
I haven't decided yet because I think all the stuff we're going to do in Denver, we're just going to be able to Uber around. What about getting into Breckenridge? I haven't decided yet. I'm going to probably talk to Joe about it and see what he thinks, but I might just take a bus from Denver. I'm sure there is a bus. I know there will be because renting cars is so expensive and I feel like we might actually not use it that much.
00:27:14
Speaker
It would just be to get to and fro at that point. Yeah, exactly. If there's anything in particular that we want to drive through, but I could buy a shit ton of Ubers for the price of renting a car, and then you don't have to worry about driving. Are you guys going to see Joe? Is he in town when you're there? Yeah, I'm sure we will. That's going to be sick, man. I'm jealous.
00:27:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's coming up, man. That's crazy. Yeah. Dude, so what about you? You went to you went to Gallivant through Europe a bit. Yeah, we're closing in on half an hour. Do you want to stop this one? We can wrap and you guys can tune in next week to hear about Bose Gallivanting. Yeah. And Gallivant, I did. You did. All right. Thanks, everybody. All right. Talk to you guys next week. Talk at you guys.
00:28:07
Speaker
That was the sound board.
