feeling like that day I'm your boy Tamir got heart I'm with my dog movement and yes sir and we finally got the man behind the camera Stoops our producer yes sir dude what it do is your boy Stoops ah it's good to be here good to be here man about time you deserve it look at the fade though my everyone I'm so proud of everybody everybody's been like before we even start everyone's been doing real good work so before anything give you guys a round of applause give you hell give you guys a little a little clap you know cause you guys have been the real good boys good shit man proud of you guys well today we got a ton of stuff we wanna talk about quickly let's recap the NBA All Star weekend I feel like none of us are surprised the vibe and the energy that went into that weekend it has some highs and it has some lows but I'll let y'all give me y'all take on we're just on this on the All Star Game itself bro ah man LA fitness game pickup games were better than that bro god damn no to their credit like I know it's just an exhibition bro but I remember all star games used to mean something man I really do bro and you know it's just but it's like we've been what I've been saying for the last couple of weeks the lack of creativity on players nowadays bro just the lack of ambition sometimes too yeah gay was kind of showcase here with the young guys bro like God uh I mean overall man I mean like we talked about it last episode we said like it it's it hasn't been as hype as it used to be you know like it used to be like damn I like this weekend is it like you know like we used to go back on Mondays to school and talk about that shit you know like now like Woohoo who had the best done exactly exactly so now and it's like it's like now it's like alright the dunk contest was it was I it was okay you know overall I think this whole thing went as expected you know like we didn't over expect anything so I know it was bullshit when you see Karl Anthony Towns out there getting windmills reverse dunks I think he tried to do an East Bay failed but like what this is bullshit cause how many times you seeing cat out there dunking anything like that you know I'm saying but Luca missing a dunk too you know that was actually the funniest thing ever bro that man threw it up and he couldn't I just crazy jokeish and Luca are not athletic bro for as tall as they are they're just not athletic bro it's crazy but now it was this guy was out of proportion I mean like you know like like no one really care like the NBA All Star Game like no one really cares about anymore right like there's no one send it like to be honest with you if like if you could change one thing bro about like the NBA All Star Game like it should be the incentives like at least the incentives like there should be like like at least at least like the winner of like the east versus west should determine like where the final like who has you gotta give out they already and then like why do y'all need an extra incentive job most of y'all even an all star game most of y'all already balling as it is hundred dollar hundred million dollar contracts like how much more do we gotta pay you niggas don't wanna go who how many more we gotta pay you to go do your goddamn job you know what I'm saying well I mean we can do the the thing that the NFL did bro we can have games dodgeball games some stupid shit games I don't know man but that's but the reason they do that they got a good reason that's tradition that's tradition like NFL they got a good reason cause like after the season football is brutal niggas is hitting hitting hitting give them a break yeah y'all don't like why we want y'all to go out there and lay hat on some for no reason just for the fans entertainment like right after that y'all get a break y'all can play some flag football to do all these challenges I just something has changed though like the only thing I would say like I think that out of this like the whole NBA All star thing or I mean the NBA weekend or all star weekend uh I will say like I do like how they implemented at least something from the WNBA into it like the whole Steph Curry and I hate the jump surgery but like this whole Steph Curry versus Sabrina I I can't pronounce her last name but like it was and that's cute and that's cute like it was it was good like I I actually had like more interest in that than like the the dunk contest only went one round yeah like this only go one round yes it was one round it was like one one go it was like one go so I I I do see like being unfair in that aspect but like maybe like this is a good opportunity you know yeah like they should keep like they should capitalize on this you know keep it going yeah I think that's fair to continue to try to keep the women involved continue to give them opportunities cause that just helped the sports all around because if you get more fans I wanna watch women basketball 100% more fans are gonna wanna watch man basketballs more money for both yeah exactly Sabrina was amazing bro she came out 9 I was kind of sleep when she came out there hitting like that I was like hold on hold on let me set up let me I've been through some I've been saying has she gone second is Chef Curry gonna go first I think she would have been Steph Curry bro cause Chef Curry saw what Sabrina was doing he was like I'm not gonna let you do be like that I can't let you do like that nah so he had to step it up a little bit you know how does that feel just real quickly how does that feel about the dunk contest Mcclone did this thing topping has some good dunks but he got some poison duck because they weren't on the first try um I said this a couple of weeks ago Bro Jalen Brown is not a dunker bro I don't want him dunking again bro that shit was embarrassing it look was just cringe everywhere bro I don't wanna see him dunk not even real games now like don't dunk ever again bro I'm a Celtic Sam bro I love Jalen Brown but that performance was just he went outside dude it was bad dude and I and it's not like like you know you go to the dunk contest not to perform dunks that you would do in game you go to the dunk contest to be creative yeah you know like there was no real creativeness like you know I think that's also been lacking throughout the years now obviously the creativeness but like this year really showed like this year was like horrendous like Matt Mcclung did what he did and like you to give him props he cleared shit he obviously is a dunker like yeah that's all you do but I hope you get another opportunity more than just representing himself in the dunk contest yeah he need to get he need to find a way to get off of the G League and try to go get a bucket cause if you dunking like that you want to dunking contest people already know who you is off of that now if you can who you game there's some money in here there's some endorsements all that cause you dunking no I don't I don't think he like I I I got been following him like since like his high school days I think he's a good player but like at the at at the league level height matters at some point to some extent you know like not a lot of people from the AI like he jumping oh yeah he should be jumping 100% but like at the same time like there is still like that height like you're not gonna go out there bounce like 50 times like that you know in a game it's gonna hurt you'll get posted by arrest you know dude easy bro you get rocked real quick too easy you know yeah I mean it was a it was a good weekend the 3 point contest like I said Dame was gonna win again he won again but man bro did Donovan Mitchell go outside or what bro man I don't think he showed up bad didn't they he just set the tone he had to go he went second he was part of the beginning like he made 24 points that's not a bad showing it's just that everybody just was like alright we not it the competitiveness I see real competitiveness in the 3 point shoot out like they actually trying to see who finna win that like they really out there going hard I just feel like whenever you got if you're getting out scored by cat bro come on man have some shame have some but I'll take I'll take real quick I'll take real quick does Dame Lillard's award that he won since the All Star weekend has diminished does do them awards hold weight no no not at all no it don't it don't on the end yes yes they do individually this is right they definitely do individually but I don't even remember who no no man I don't I don't I don't think they matter bro cause I don't know who the fuck who wants to who's gonna remember the 3 point contest winner from 2004 2000 when you read it off a piece of paper might sound good but like we all seen that weekend and we know that this ain't shit right I would say it like it would look good on a resume you know I would say that like a like okay okay you just three solid three point shoot Russell Westbrooks All Star Games MVP is better than Davian Little this All Star Game MVP Tina respond in the comments because I was hot let us know you bitch let's let's get off of basketball exciting news the MLS season kicks off the day we got Miami Miami playing today against Salt Lake yeah they want to see messy they won yeah they want to zero already breaking the news see so what you think about Miami look at like I told you earlier bro I don't expect Messi to play a whole season yeah um he's I'm not gonna look he's a goat I'm not gonna talk down on him too much but I feel like his hits not in Miami right now he's just having fun bro so I don't think he's gonna play a full season now do I expect Miami to be like more like front runners yeah cause cause you got messy of course you're gonna have them up there and you got Luis Suarez and you have Jordi Alba yeah you got you got you got player they got some sign and he's they got some kind of extra help if they get into them finals and late in the season that express that was gonna matter the most exactly yeah I mean this is just okay I hate to sound like a hater but y'all know how I am look like this is just a Barcelona V tube like everyone and when you can I mean they they they are just it's it's it's it's the old Barcelona just in a Miami Jersey now right yeah so so they got experience they should but MLS now is like a real young like everybody's like starting to become like real young so there's young talent in the MLS right are they gonna be able to keep up physically with that young talent like that's the next thing like this young talent cause I mean we've seen like Miami might have Messi and all that but they they have choked in those last you know in those last cup games so that that experience can only take you so far you still have to be there physically so I feel like if they wanna win everything Messi has to play obviously that's your star player that's your bread that's your money that's your goal you know but I think that's the whole point of him coming to the MLS is so he can kinda take like not not I'm not saying he washed anything but it's so he can preserve his greatness cause he not got it he don't gotta keep it he came here for the time the money and the competition is he get the easier ride you know I'm saying not like like like listen not the competition is like top tier I wanna play against these dudes is that if I'm still playing in the Premier Leagues I'm playing against the best of the best and I got a carry but if I come down here to Miami where the talent is a notch below I can still do my thing and not look bad and I have to worry about the end definitely after you but every superstar you know Ibrahimovic you know um Lampard and you know Rooney all those guys that's that's how it's always been bro even Beckham that's how it's always like ultimate like the MLS is changing you know like the MLS it used to be a retirement league like it used to be a place where you know players come in here and they retire you know like they're you know they're at the end of the career now it's because Messi is like okay like you starting to attract these these players these good players like now you start to see like some some decent players in here I mean then you start to see the young talent grow with that that already experienced talent so and I don't mean to you know I know where this messy topic but who started this phase where a superstar like Messi a goat superstar goes to another country with a subpar league and just everyone starts coming bro hey bro it's crazy fucking start the move bro started the move bro messy messy can be carrying Argentina when he in the 100% that's then they do bro and listen just okay I'll stop look just like like he did in Barcelona he carried Argentina to a World Cup that's all I'm saying so shout out to him bro I mean hey he that's all he needed to like that last one he's separating himself from buddy look the the whole thing with messy the whole thing that with messy has been he's won Champions League he's won Baloneo he's won all these things but the thing that he has not won was Copa America which he accomplished and he won the World Cup so shout out to him he is now shit I don't care to say this ballet no over ballet no no cause I mean bro there's plenty of players who won everything bro I mean that was the case I mean you could say like there's cacao cacao won everything like I'm not I'm not trying to talk shit on the go Pele you know rest of so I'm just I'm just I'm just saying we can't we can't say that like but play won a Champions League bro he didn't he meant I don't think he was alive yeah but come on it's just two different areas bro just like you have Ballet Maradona we had our we had Messi and Ronaldo you know Cristiano Ronaldo so who's next Holland and Mbappe huh man that's tough so Mbappe is in a farmer's league bro I don't I don't any everything that he's doing in PSG right now it don't really matter because it's not bringing results Holland how now my my man Holland now Champions League winner FA Cup winner Premier League winner I mean that's that's a team sport bro gotta bring in the metal metal man that's the biggest metal you can bring oh God I feel it but individually though he's for such a young age man he is he has a lot of potential man cyclone he's a beast going back to just finishing up the in my last week I got finishing last do y'all got Miami or you damn last no finishing like who's gonna come out on top okay man let's be realistic okay obviously we're not gonna say Austin is here right now you know we're in a little bit of shambles but we should we should look forward to like at least somewhat of a decent year more than or better than last last season see I really just fall off they just fell off because coach yeah I guess because it's the closest job to establish your chemistry and your identity and it's not even that but it's more of the lines of you're putting in things that don't work on a consistent basis well and then also like you know we just we just changed the sporting director too so like we're hoping that this new sporting director like that came from Man CD actually like puts in work and actually invest in the right players that we need he's on that topic the only thing I wanna add to this you are not gonna get shit done if you don't allow this guy to bring in the pairs that are necessary to improve the environment bro look I get it you're still on your run of you know we made it to the conference championship a couple years ago but man we need to spend money bro what we doing we're out here looking foolish they didn't they didn't make any big sign in the offseason everybody has us in the bottom bro is embarrassing but we finished twelveth they got every right and we made no changes we made no changes so they got every right to keep us where we at we put in we put in all the team on the back of juicy and he ain't doing he ain't he delivered last season so why put it all back on his back again and expect he needs help man look man I don't even wanna talk about this shit but I think they still but they still also got believed in the Cinderella story that happened back in 2022 cause they they weren't supposed to be that good they weren't supposed to be that good exactly at all so they now they but maybe that's the problem maybe they believe in that maybe they believe in that group because of that and they think ah it was just a slip up 2023 well you know wherever Cinderella drops her shoe at we gotta go find out we gotta go find out we gotta first to me bro like it's look it's looking rough though ha ah dude no kidding but to tell me now I got you know the east and the MLS is very very very good not gonna lie to you Philadelphia Union um New York Saints New York Saint Louis bunch of good teams I think I'm gonna go with um Philadelphia coming out bro from the east and then on the west side can't doubt LAFC's LAFC bro LAFC's always in it is a lie bro is the cream of the cup right now spend money too bro see that's the thing like I think like recently I heard something about the MLS taking like trying to take like these these financial like little they're like they're trying to up the financial game like they're trying to allow more teams to spend some more money right now so so hopefully with that like there's like you know there's more there's gonna be more salary cap which means that more money to bring in better talent so hopefully the MLS is going in the right direction with this and hopefully teams make the right uh the right purchases you know like LAFC has has been they they've been making good signings for the longest so it's kind of like you got it you big market team well so is Austin to be honest we we lost in the decent market no I did not know dude we have money bro we have money but they just don't want to study general is not a bigger market than dollar store but like but like the culture like the culture look dude like we say is there like bro like we've been losing even though them niggas be wearing a same goddamn Jersey every single day change your Jersey by the way motherfuckers smell the beer from last week bitch but anyway like we like it doesn't matter how sorry Austin and this is one thing that really irks me bro is the fact that Austin FC does so poorly but these ticket sales are just like increasing and just keep going up obviously they're not as as as crazy as it were like the first seasons but I mean they should not be anywhere near what they are right now that shit is stupid like we've been to as to be getting charged as much bro we had one good year bro and now they're trying to reap the rewards of like oh we're gonna be back like that again we're not we are not gonna get back there again bro until we find that Cinderella fucking shoe whatever we're not gonna be good bro not under this coach not under this system I'm hopeful that my man cities you know Swain director well not these Mercedes but came from Man City yeah you know he can change it up bro but it's not gonna happen if you're not gonna allow him to spend money to get the right players bro it's just not and obviously we're not expecting it to happen overnight right it's not gonna happen like with one transfer but it takes it takes time like right now I like I heard like I think it went show with me that Thiago Silver is on the radar which by the way I mean the dudes that like he's a Chelsea player but he's he's of age he's not washed though you know like he I think he would bring in a good experience in that defensive line for a player his age who's 40 years old bro but still compete at a high level though but when you 40 though that shit can stop bro but you need to watch you need to watch highlights man he's close up man that shit can stop first injury pull hamstring get hey you ain't coming back in no months you you 40 years old you out for a year or so but we just said bro he's playing in the Prem you gotta remember he's playing at that at that top tier you know he doesn't have to play like at that top tier anymore you know I he just has to and he's that smart that he can like he he allows his teammates to be that much better when he's playing you know like he's he's a coach on the field he's that leader bro that's something that we fucking need like hard so if it falls through I'm going every fucking game bro I'm just I'm just saying that right now that'd be that'd be dope you know every home game we gonna be there so that's my predictions and last place look I'm a speaking from a realistic standpoint we are looking to be like a last place team now just because yeah bro yeah bro I'm sorry I know I know bro I know but listen just because we're gonna be last place doesn't mean I'm not gonna wrap my team I love my team I love my Austin FC but the truth hurts we suck this coaching sucks it's it's what we just don't have any no it's not any of that it's just I have no trust in the coaching that's it bro that's it obviously we're hungry and the fanbase should be hungry you know like but the also like this is one thing we need to talk about the fanbase is not as hungry as everyone else is you know like there's a certain like fanbase out here that just does not want to win anything else but cold potatoes like like come on so in case you didn't know just educate the viewers um there are multiple just like in every other league where there's multiple tournaments going on um one of the things that um since Austin FC got you know inaugurated to the MLS we face each other in this tournament called Copa Tejas which is basically the Texas Cup against teams like Dallas and Houston literally the whole fan base that's that's the No. 1 priority bro winning that shit bro it's embarrassing bro all you wanna talk about I mean I like don't get me wrong I like proving that we're the best team in Texas like don't get me wrong but like there's more to it you know obviously I and I know you know it sounds it sounds like I'm hating you know but like to be honest like there are there are fucking fans out there I am hating I'm a proud hater fuck that shit cause look that trophy is good and all I said I took a picture of it whatever when we wanted the first time it was lit but man when we're out here getting humiliated by one of the worst teams the worst teams in Mexico and in the CONCACAF Champions League bro there's nothing to be enjoying about this at all bro we got we got beat by Haitian team bro and Champions League bro a Haitian team that wasn't even playing at their stadium and they didn't even have a full squad bro like how they have the squad couldn't pull up because their passport whatever they had visa issues bro come on and then Masa you know Masa Lon is you know Mexicano Mexico they came in here bro and they just Latino said they they whooped their ass they whooped her ass we dog this bro you know what I'm saying and Masa Don is not Latino's dad and Ma Masa's dad is not like that brother not like that to be putting up three goals on you oh God so like come on man there's standards bro like you can't be settling for the thing that you you know some shit we gotta win big trophies those are big trophies yeah I wanna win those trophies but the way the fanbase be acting and how they you know just say shit that mindset ain't there bro but we have a like we like we already hashed on this but we have a solid fan base yes that shows up to every game yes so does this just a kind of sidetracking a little bit does this prove that Austin is capable of hosting more than one pro team yes yes 100% goes I've always dreamed as a youngin we get an NBA team in this MUD be cool NFL team somewhere around here they they they gotta trust us and give us the opportunity to be that I was excited when the Buffalo Bills you know they're bullshitting they were they mention Austin is wanted to say some like hey look y'all might get Josh Allen hey all the Josh Allen you know me Josh Allen and then with the Oakland A's were like Austin was a possibility yeah I love that bro like the Austin A's you know saying that would have been cool so let me ask you obviously you're a hardcore died like Cowboys fan yeah and you you are 49% would y'all would would that make y'all change your team like hey like hey like I was just being honest bro like oh man that's tough bro easy would you you would damn see that that's what I'm talking about that's busy being a Vikings fan for no reason for man Edwin being a 40 Niners fan for no reason fucking reason be no 49 his family I couldn't do it bro I think with me bro I've been through too many heartbreaks my 49 as well to just be switching sides like that I've shed too many tears with this team my blood pressure is crazy cause of these guys I can't do it can't do it the dedication is real man the dedication is real yeah for me it'd be a tug of war like I think I've been I've been Dallas Cowboys in my blood it's all I've known since I was a young so I'm always gonna fuck with them but if we got an Austin team I'll probably teeter totter and be a fan there too but it's always fuck Houston haha it's always fuck Houston always hey David you don't wanna hear that bro yeah fuck CJ Strauss fuck the Nico Ryan fuck your whole organization damn Cowboys stand up you know what I'm saying damn shit bro I was out of pocket to let them know God damn how about you man do you got a football team man dude so obviously it's kind of tough cause you know I've been first football team I ever watched was like the Steelers so you know I watch Big Ben lift that trophy yeah so I was like I fuck with Big Ben you know Big Ben was cold back in those days you know so but I would definitely like if it's honest I wouldn't mind you know like just imagine how lit the game will be it would be so fucking lit oh my gosh fucking 35 would be just as fucking packed bro there's there's enough room here bro maybe not in the Matuarie of Austin but like in the suburbs maybe Dog Valley or something we can have a nice stadium bro I can be a stadium location where would you put that hole in I'll put it hmm I think I think you gotta head towards Georgetown Cedar Park that that area kinda kinda getting towards Gerald cause you know they trying to throw shit in Gerald now you put the stadium somewhere over in that area and they've been building neighborhoods and Gerald anyway so property that property that would be like an hour drive for me it wouldn't be bad it's not a bad drive it's not bad who lives in jail nobody it's nothing there but if it was a football team if yeah if it's a big team over there yeah you can I was gonna say baseball team but I didn't want to jinx it I don't want no fucking baseball baseball is cool it's cool but when we went to the Texas Ranger game Rodney probably fell asleep in a hoe shut up the ride lady lady it's a long game bro it is it is I'm not gonna lie it was lit though it was I'm not gonna lie for for like a first MLB when we went to Rangers by the way I'm a Rangers fan not to go into that fucking shit I've been a Rangers fan since you know middle school yeah but like that shit was lit we want we want a championship that shit was lit we let's go Rangers man sir fuck you son

really good shit coming up too so looking forward to discussing that pretty soon so yeah I'm excited about all I'm excited about all the growth man I'm excited just to do it like even if we not getting viewers if we not doing this we get nothing out of it I still would want to do something in the rounds of like this because it's our safe place like we said it's our this is our man cave this is where we can use our authentic selves and nobody gonna judge us and it's an experience for all of us too you know it's gonna obviously we're all gonna be a little bit more vulnerable some days obviously you know so you know it's gonna push you out that comfort zone but that's good because you know that's growth as well you know it's about growing on a daily basis are you better than you were yesterday every single day you know you have to be like you have to have that kind of mentality to do these not just a podcast but just in everything in general like you know like are you better than you were yesterday like it could be like the smallest thing it doesn't have to be like the greatest event of your life just like something small like you Learned something new today as long as it's something new in your life then you're on a right track and I think here at the pockets that's an excellent point you want to know something new I did today would you do it I ate some green beans for the first time straight up straight up straight up like oh yes yes straight like that bro taste like ass hell yeah bro never again bro you gotta put some salt don't ever don't ever oh hell no don't yeah season that shit a little bit something I did I thought I was gonna go I thought I was gonna go with the side that I made bro no well you learn new stuff that you need some raw green it gotta be like like it gotta be kale spinach lettuce like the safe ones not you know Green Bean first of all that's gonna be hard bro first of all I'm gonna probably tip or two you buy one of these it didn't though but you just you know I tried it it was something new I wouldn't recommend it continuing on a podcast for any people who wanna dive into podcasting in their own ventures and their life if you had one thing to tell them to help them prepare for it what would that be you know it's so funny rather than cause someone you know there's there's people out there that wanna do this and you know I know personally like people that wanna do this and for those people that wanna do this all I had to say is like like like before this I can tell you like from personal experience like me me and Edwin we had like a little podcast that we're doing before we're doing it live it was like literally just nothing but Emma or not Emily's talk but just yeah EPO talk but my biggest thing is just do it just just put your nose down get and just fucking get down to the grind because that's all that fucking matters at the end right like it doesn't matter how ugly it comes out in the beginning obviously what you want to see is you want to see growth just like these podcasts over like the episode 1 if you look at episode 1 it is nowhere near episode 6 yeah so episode 6 we have expectations for number episode 6 to be better than episode 7 and so on and so forth you know so so just get into the into that motion into trying to just do it and get better at your crap definitely I agree with that just just do it man like you can you can plan it out coordinate as best as you can but if you don't get out there and do it you know doesn't matter it don't matter I think also like having like especially like a podcast isn't just one person thing right like it's also like having like a good like a good a good circle of friends yes like we got we have busy busy who's like right here behind us you know we don't we're not saying but shout out busy we got busy we got Tina we got Tay Devon you know we have a whole cast and a Rodney and if I'm missing anybody I'm sorry but we have a whole cast and everybody who's willing to put in work so you have to surround yourself with people who are like minded and motivated yeah you know you have to have people who are like structured like Edwin Edwin Edwin is great at being structured like if we look at anything like if we can give you some insight right now Edwin is the one who's like very structured and everything so you got to give him props to that this dude open his his doors to his house you know we record here at his place and it's amazing dude amazing host and he's learning as we go and he's also doing like a bunch of the editing a bunch of like the clips that you see so a lot of props to him a lot of props to the people who are here like did that are prepared and the people who like put their face in front of the camera cause it's not easy at all it is tell you that cause I swear he got staged haha it is not easy at all by any means by any means like but I think it's like you were saying man you gotta have a good foundation a good support group um that's what we we've had this this is a friendship since middle school boy and then and then we just added BZ we had everybody else so you gotta just have a good foundation to where just just get out there and just record man what about you professor what you what you what's what's the man right there don't count yourself out you do a lot of editing too so you do a lot of work man don't forget about yourself but if I was gonna tip anybody I would say kinda it it does go along what y'all saying but it sounds like I'm countering it no you're good is be prepared yeah don't just don't go blindly into it make sure you do your research about what you need to do what you need to have like the thought process you have that goes into it don't go in there without knowing it yes because when you if you go in there blindly thinking I'm finna just turn on the camera pull out some mics and we gonna record and talk about bullshit you gonna be unexpired unmotivated no direction no viewers because everybody's gonna sense all that negative stuff and inevitably you not gonna have fun with it and you gonna stop doing it definitely so be as prepared and like know what you're getting yourself into before you do it big facts and he definitely has a lot to prove that cause like it's like he said this is a whole dream like we're going back to like where we started at this is so he said it was a dream you know but before that I'm sure it's like a lot of planning a lot of thinking like you know deliberately like we had to like struggling okay like who's in who's out who's who's gonna do this who's gonna do that you know we had to have like some kind of structure like you like he was saying so you're right yes you're right you do have to do like your homework you do have to do like some kind of research like you know whether that's like going over like the YouTube algorithms or like you know little stuff as you go you know but yes you are true you have to have some kind of background knowledge on everything you know but I'll add to this once you figure that out man I think that's the hardest thing but once you figure it out exactly what you want to talk about and you have a good group and we're using some of our phones right now bro to record gotta get out bro just just get out there bro don't be scared don't be shy there's an audience for everybody there's an audience for all of us there's enough to go around bro yeah and as you get as you do it you gonna feel more comfortable like yes the first episode I was way nervous and I still have my moments where I feel nervous but like I'm completely relaxed I'm talking to you like you're actually standing in the room with me but you're not and I don't mind it at all so it just it comes with it and you gonna build the skill as you go so don't hesitate go for it 100% that's true man that's true also if you guys wanna reach out and you know just ask we're here we started if you want as a matter of fact just to chime in like what he just said if y'all want us to show y'all a little bit more of the background video record that post a video about it going to details like the setup and all that we completely don't mind we don't mind hiding it we we all in this together correct and that goes like even the you also got to find that find that special group and stick with that group yeah views like we wanna see each individual's success yes yes yes cause on one sixty's we all succeed like recently you know my boy my boy got some that's on you know little little song so happen we're not gonna say but like you know my boy we just know we on the up man you know slowly but surely that's for sure we all on up and up bro I'm hella hungry right now as we recording this man

months ago it's a short stop not that far from where we are right now in round right right and I went to go pull up on it because I'm not sure so I had shortstop in a long time since I was young and I got that that was trash it's because you got here from the hood bro over there by Ray hey big bangs right there man you just opened up a bunch of memories from high school I'm just saying we went with

it's not a I'm I'm not on a roller coaster there I'm I'm getting I know what I'm getting it tastes the same pretty much every single time they don't sell me Whataburger is always gonna be up there bro I just respect the consistency come on y'all hear me talk about consistency a lot and when I get consistency in the food that's so nice things like man I'm sorry I don't mean to interrupt you but like this is like a real good point like you know it's like before Whataburger sold out I agree with you by all means necessary I agree with you bro but since they sold that shouldn't hit the same no more bro like I've been I've been like you know I've been there like a hand like a couple times not too not too often you know but every time I went like come on we're Texas boys bro of course you're gonna go to Whataburger bro don't hit no more bro yes I was about to say cause you know I'm gonna get the Patty melt and if that hold on hit the same way you don't hear bro I gotta go somewhere else but

Web Burger Taste 35 yeah right there on Airport Airport Boulevard yeah oh damn bro god damn see I gotta tell you a quick story man it's time to this the struggle bro back in elementary middle school somewhere in a I used to get a dollar a day from pops you know I'm saying and I it was really for the bus but sometimes look I say that dollar every day and walk to school instead of ride a bus I come up with in two weeks I got I got 10 bucks you know where I'm heading man I got that 10 bucks on walking the burger takes off at I thirty five I'm sitting down having me a nice little burger French fries man was here bro I'm not gonna lie I can relate to this was really good it was really good bro I'm a story like that bro so there's a popular spot right in the same area bro called Hillbirds bro bite down Capital Plaza bro that's just been there since like the 80s delicious bro that shit here bro what kind of food is burgers and they got wings bro wings bro shift it's fucking good bro but shout out to helpers bro my dark horse if I had to do top 5 Hillbridge would you know before and then my other fears will probably be fuck fucking throwing burger takes in that motherfucker yeah yeah bro burger takes man that's a classic like I went there one more time bro like after I graduated high school I think it was in two 24 2014 2015 and out and I came few years after I graduated I was gone I was like at least I got to hit that hoe one more time one more time for a win bro she's like that's how it is bro like the good spots that we kind of grew up on they ain't there no more bro this is crazy like our favorite restaurants all right so since we we on this food topic now we from Austin now give me your give me your top taco places taco taco places taco give me tacos not fine

I'm not gonna say it as but it's different like it's but it's definitely not tacos it's just different bro I have to go let me I'm gonna have to go with I don't know the name of the place it's a it was a literally a drop a drive in taco truck when I work downtown and when I work for the state and I hope pull up every morning bro I think they was from they said man they was from somewhere in South America but it wasn't Mexican based and nothing but they had breakfast tacos every morning fresh with the store tacos you know what I'm saying oh my God I wish I knew the name so I can shut y'all out but hey them was No. 1 for me do I gotta get you another one No. 2 I think I think they on the rise right now but they pricey as hell Veracruz all natural they got some good tacos and like the sauce be hitting like it it it feel fresh fresh every time but I can't really complain but they a little bit pricey man my bad what about used to live man I like the trailer spice you know best one obviously you know you gotta give a what what man if if you if you on the south side you gotta hit Rositas Rositas you gotta hit Rositas lace like that's just a given I give you on Sasha you gotta hit Rositas are pastor the sad thing about I can't even name drop like you just did cause like some of them some of them just like pop up spot yeah well let me okay so it's it's kind of hard to get a bad like taco spot it's really difficult you know especially cause like there's a lot of good food places out here especially in Austin there's probably better in Houston better in Dallas but I mean it's no no no no no no no yes they are fucking with some breakfast taco no no okay now look I'm not fucking with it look they fucking with it hey hey they got us a breakfast taco yeah oh my God they don't they don't they don't do breakfast tacos over there like we do bro that's what I'm saying that's just given but bro everything else and they that's that yeah but breakfast tacos is safe in our city I in ATS we got that but that's the thing you can't go wrong with the like you can't go wrong with like it's hard to fuck up a good breakfast taco like it's hard but I'm in a few places that you
