The Funky Panther
Music, Mishaps, and a Dash of Conspiracy
Prepare for a whirlwind of laughter and storytelling as we recount our Austin City Limits (ACL) weekend escapades, full of memorable moments and fashion faux pas. Chad's bold fashion choice had us in stitches, setting the tone for a festival filled with vibrant energy and hilarious encounters with fans like Christy. Whether it was the awe of past performances by legends like OutKast and Eminem or the fresh excitement of this year's acts, the festival's electrifying atmosphere never failed to keep us entertained.
Shopping and festival logistics might sound mundane, but trust us, it's anything but boring in our world. Picture a shopping spree that led to an unintentional fashion reveal or the chaos of navigating rentable scooters amidst festival madness. From unexpected bathroom break dilemmas at a Tyler, the Creator concert to the absurdity of transportation costs, our tales are filled with humor and relatable chaos. We also dive into the phenomenon of Chapel Roan's rising fanbase, exploring the quirks of festival etiquette and the curious mix of catchy tunes and raunchy lyrics that captivates audiences.
Our episode crescendo brings a lively discussion on everything from music festivals to the unpredictable world of stocks and conspiracy theories. Imagine transformer trucks turning into banquet halls or debating the practicality of aristocratic cake dresses. We also share our plans for upcoming concerts and local events while navigating the responsibilities of pet priorities. With banter about karaoke and somersaults and a sprinkle of stock market strategies, we wrap up with a sincere appreciation for our camaraderie and shared passion for music and community.

Chad:Italy, but a normal vacation, my balls.
Javier:Every vacation you go on, you spend more than I do. I will say this this was the most I mean for Tammy's birthday. I spent on everything Because the tickets were like 700 bucks 750. The Airbnb was like 1,600.
Chad:The food Well we didn't really go anywhere. Airbnbs, so 1500. You were at 3000, yeah, right now, and that's without food and drink, and you just told me about how much you spent like 400 a day on you actually spent more than I think I did in italy and uh, but the uber eats was fucking ridiculously expensive over there.

Tim:Right, A lot of people. I didn't realize it was going to be quite that Dude. It's fucking nuts.
Javier:Yeah, yeah, it was insane Because you went for OutKast and Childish and Eminem.
Chad:I realized it was exactly 10 years ago, yeah, but yeah, it was huge too. But, like even with artists that I think were just fucking killer, I don't remember it being as packed as it was with the video that you showed me.
Tim:Yeah, if you haven't, for those that are listening. I wish I had had it set up where I could just pop the video up for everybody to see. But I don't look up on TikTok, just look up Chapel Roan, acl weekend too. Yeah, you can do weekend one, but weekend two is where we were when we were there yeah and so I like to look at that and it's absolutely insane do you see uh j boy's post on reddit yes fucking jared padalecki yeah

Tim:Over there shout out j boy so he runs into, uh, the dude from supernatural, and he gets a picture and he posts it because he's like, oh, look at this and one of the comments on there. Did you see one of the comments? No, oh man.
Tim:So I know I said, I can smell that picture yeah basically someone said oh, he's so nice, I love it whenever he takes pictures with make-a-wish kids oh yeah, that was funny fuck me, the internet is rough sometimes and um yeah, man, reddit can be a place of roasting if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure j boy reposted the pic.

Chad:He's here in a month.
Javier:Foster the People.
Tim:No no no, leon, it's crazy to think that Leon is. It's not that he's talented, but I'm thinking he's playing Dickies, yeah, and I remember seeing him at Arts Goggle Right, and I remember running into him whenever he was still working in the kitchens and stuff. And I remember seeing him at Shipping and Receiving.
Javier:Oh, Abraham was with him too. He was up on stage with him oh really yeah, is that who?
Tim:they brought. Okay, yeah, because he's. So. I heard someone saying oh yeah, he brought someone out, but I didn't know who he brought out and I was thinking the first song was kirkabin or whatever okay oh no, that was uh.
Javier:Leon came up for them to play texas sun. Yeah, yeah, now you say that band's name. I think krugman krugman yeah, I think that's right yeah but, interesting yeah well, I mean, they dress eccentric yeah so I mean that's seemed pretty cool, but, um, every time I've gone, it's been a great time. Uh, we usually go do stuff after, but this wasn't the case this time. We were just for one it one. It was very dusty. It was dust everywhere.
Chad:I saw those masks and shit. Yeah, you had to.
Tim:And we were out in the sun from.

Javier:Yeah.
Tim:Okay, so this is what the guy said about J-Boy. Oh, Jared is so sweet with those Make-A-Wish kids. Sorry, buddy J-Boy replies back and says bruh with two skulls. And then there was someone else's LMAO from the top rope.
Javier:Damn. But he always gets kind of like whenever he posts like roast me and what somebody call him like uh um discount mr beast or my boy is just getting torn down.
Javier:Yeah, I mean, we met his girlfriend. She's really lovely, a really nice gal um man all around. I'm really glad we ran into him and actually he texted me asking me where we were. This is after, I think, blink 182 or foster the people, foster the people. And so he's like I'm here, where are you? I told him where we were walking to get food and he was right in front of us, so it's really cool to run into him um but no, it was great stuff. Let me tell you about this.
Chad:Let me tell you about this tell me about this fucking coat that looks like it's made of human hair. Is that made of human hair? How many brunettes did you murder?
Javier:it actually is to make this all the brunettes at acl I may have taken a bit of their hair.
Tim:He's a holy shit.
Chad:He's the brunette strangler at first I thought it was fur, but now it just looks like the murderer from zilker, it's me but it's all men. That's a lot of men's hair yeah, that's how I like it baby okay, he gets it from everywhere.
Javier:Tell us about the coat, not just top uh so last day, before uh chaperone went on stage, I ran to um the golf lang yeah I taught the creators uh little, uh merch booth. He had um a bunch of gear shirts, hats, backpack. By the way, you know my old back black backpack that I used to carry, the herschel one yeah I had to throw it away. They, they took it. They're like you can't bring this in dude, you've had that for like 12, 15 years.
Javier:Yeah, yeah, I remember I took it to anthony's bachelor party and I bought it two years before. 12 years, 12 years, you bought it.
Chad:We went to the mall trying to find that back right before europe. Yeah, oh, fuck, really. Yeah, I've never gone to richmond mall and like hopping into like three or four different stores. I'm like what the fuck even is herschel? And now I've got like 10 different herschel I forgot, I completely forgot.
Javier:So, um, so I was pretty pissed. I I was hoping I'd get away with it because we were carrying this, the, the chairs and the cups and whatever. And uh, we were walking around. Walking around and go to the golf wing store. I was gonna buy my brother a mystery. They had two sets of mystery bags, mystery tees, mystery tops. One was 55 for the mystery tees, 120 for the mystery tops, and so I was like that's a cool looking backpack. I'll get the backpack 60 bucks best backpack I've ever had really it has like six compartments, I feel like, and I fit everything in there.
Javier:It's really cool. Um, so I bought my brother something and then the next day for chapel, I was like, can I go? I want to. Can I go buy something? And she's like, yeah, okay, yeah, fine, whatever, go. And um, I got the mystery top, two mystery tops, and I asked the guy what's what's in them? I was like, are they button-ups or polos? He's like, well, they're anything from like jackets to hoodies to whatever, and you know it's. You know whatever it is, it is. And so the guy tells the guy in the back hey, bring it out, bring a mystery top. And so he goes over and he's like which one is it? He's like I think it's the one he's like. He's like because I guess they tore a little top. Yeah.
Javier:And he's like, oh fuck, dude, can you open this? I'm like what? He's like, yeah, can you open it? I'm like, oh, I mean, yeah, sure, I was like, is it really good? He's like, if I think it is what it is, it's going to be good. And I was like, well, I don't want to haul this around the rest of the fucking night. I was like you got a bag that you can give me? He's like, well, we got bags, but they're 40 bucks. I was like bro man, I was like I'll tell you what, maybe, but I have to come back. He's like if you open it, can you come back and show me? And I tore it a little more when we were sitting down for chapel and I saw, you know, obviously, the human hair, human hair Right.
Javier:And I was like I wanted to open it so bad.
Chad:Yeah.
Javier:And you know whatever.
Chad:So to paint a picture. If you opened it, it's no longer in the bag. It's no longer in the bag, Got it?
Javier:And this is like maybe a, it's a big bag.
Chad:Right.
Javier:Because it was a hoodie in this, okay, and it was folded. I'm with you it wasn't folded in tight, and so when we got back to the Airbnb which I think you still got the video right you recorded me opening it.
Tim:Yeah, I got it. I need to send it to you.
Javier:And so we opened it. I was like what the fuck is this? I knew it because whenever I saw the material, I was like it's got to be a coat, it's a right here.
Chad:Just golf brand.
Javier:Yeah, golf is a brand, well, golf link Golf link is Tyler's.
Javier:Okay, gotcha, and so you know, if you put it on here, try to put it on.
Chad:I don't know if I want to Just try.
Javier:It's extra large. Obviously I'm an extra extra large, but Obviously I'm an extra extra large. But it feels so fucking cozy, doesn't it? Holy fuck, look at you. You look like a fucking bear.
Chad:You look like a goddamn ram bear, hit me with the panther, tim Hit me with the panther.
Tim:Oh, hang on, let me kick that back up there. You got it Come on. That's my boy. I think if you were wearing that during that's actually really comfortable, that is very comfortable.
Chad:I mean, it's hotter than shit.
Tim:If you were wearing that during Tyler you would probably get all the people that were rolling like just watching you because they're just like I got to touch it, you feel so.
Javier:Just like I got to touch it, you feel so nice, I've got to touch it. So yeah, I got that during the show, during after chapel or before chapel.
Chad:So let me ask you was it worth the money?
Javier:Yeah, absolutely this, and the hoodie it came with it was like a tour hoodie. Yeah, yeah, I think so, $120. I think Jesse looked it up in the jacket. This one retails for like 300 bucks.
Tim:Yeah, retails for like 300. Second hand sales been like it's not as much, but yeah, you know, probably more than 120 or ish. Right, I think second hand has been like around 200. Damn.
Javier:But my brother, he opened his mystery tee. He got a tour shirt and the employees are wearing this golf shirt. I loved it. It just says golf and this is like kind of like Supreme, but it says golf. And it's, it's what he wears and it's one of the big things. And I was like, holy fuck, you got a golf shirt, that's. He's like well, here you want it. I'm like, dude, it's a medium so I got your brother yeah and so, um, that was really really cool.
Javier:And you know, tyler, always he fucking killed, um I I was going crazy. At one point I was like I gotta piss. I had to run and take a piss and but the the the side kind of opened up a little and I ran in there and I was getting closer, just watching how to go back, obviously, and he didn't have to, I didn't have to, but I, you know, couldn't leave y'all alone, but you're already gone, you left, you had left yeah, okay, so we got to talk about the logistics of getting into acl, okay all right.
Tim:So where we stayed at, we were about two, two miles about two miles maybe a little bit further. I think it was like 2.3 joe walk yeah, well, so we started off walking, yeah, and um, we were like we're gonna walk down there and it's all for the most part, downhill. Yeah, and one of those little pedal cab things or whatever pedo cabs pedo, one of the pedo cabs, diddy cabs, diddy cabs.
Tim:um, they would be riding up and they're like hey, you want to ride, take you down to the, the festival. Yeah, how much is it going to be? It's like, oh, depending on what time it was, if it was early it'd be like about $20.
Tim:And then If it was a little bit later in the afternoon, it's going to be closer to like $30-ish or whatever. And then whenever you wanted to leave, it was $150. Yeah, I knew that shit was coming, $150. Now they've got all these little scooters that you could rent and stuff the Lime scooters and all that, but they have that whole area blocked off where you can't ride it into. There.
Chad:There's designated parking, but I was trying to get one that someone had rode into there to park but you can't ride it out or something. I can't imagine the service being very good either with like 100,000 people there.
Javier:It wasn't too bad, really. No, it wasn't bad. I was able to get on while we waited. I was able to get on tiktok and instagram.
Tim:I got that first net so I was like, oh yeah, true that yeah you're lucky man, that's great no problems, there I was being, you know, natural disaster I could send.
Tim:I could send nudes that's what it's there for baby. I could spread my butt cheeks, um, yeah. So the last night everybody was just like I, I can't, I don't think I can walk, that I was like, all right, yeah, I've heard all the tyler, I've heard all the songs that I wanted to hear. I don't know what he closed with. What he closed with I don't know.
Javier:We left two. Two songs were left and we're like, well, you left early and then you left early too. Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't, leave, leave early.
Tim:I was y'all finish out the thing and I was gonna get all that stuff set up, but y'all wouldn't leave early. I was y'all finish out the thing and I was going to get all that stuff set up, but y'all didn't give me enough time. Yeah, so here's, what happened. So I left early and I was like I'm just going to start walking back and I'm going to try to walk and get one of those scooters. Well, I tried to reserve it. As I got closer I couldn't reserve it.
Tim:But the and ended up walking the entire perimeter of the park and then started walking and I'm like trying to make the reservation. So then I text them. I was like, hey, I can't make that reservation, blah, blah, blah, they won't. Let me pick it up. Like, oh well, we'll wait for you at the corner. We're ahead of you. And I'm like, how are you ahead of me? Because I thought they were sticking around. You know, going to watch the rest, right? So they're in front of me. So I catch up to them. And you know, the girls are just like yeah, you know I can't do this. And Jesse's like if I had known, then I would have just spent the money. Blah, blah, blah, I was like $150, that's kind of ridiculous. Mm-hmm.
Tim:Like I know it's of money, so, and that would just been for two of us. Right so we're talking oh shit, we're talking. $300 for the four of us. Yeah, 300 doll hairs and actually that coat has got way more. We got like a million dollars. We could have paid with the coat, if I'm being real.
Chad:There's so many doll hairs on that coat.
Tim:So I'm like all right, I'm just just gonna huff it. You'd be proud of me, dude I. I don't know what's happened, but man, I just went and I was gone.
Chad:What do you mean? I just started huffing.
Tim:I was like I started walking what is huffing? It like I started going huffing it no no I was. I was huffing, so you see, you were out of breath. Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying I'm gonna going to huff it. You're listening to the Funky Panther with Chad, Tim and Javier. No, so I just took off. I just took off, you just ran. No, I was walking at a really fast pace. Okay With the group. No, ahead of them, I just left them behind. I was like I'm going to go.
Javier:I was looking it up.
Javier:I was walking like at a really fast pace. Okay, with the group, no ahead of them, I just left them behind.
Tim:I was like I'm going to go. I was like, looking it up, I was like there's a scooter halfway up the hill, about halfway up to the to the house. I'm just going to go up there.
Chad:I'm going to grab that scooter so that I can shoot up to the house.
Javier:Grab the car grabfers but they were level on the ground, not like up a hill. Yeah, yeah.
Tim:So that's what I did. I just booked it and, I mean, got up there, grabbed the scooter, grabbed the car, grabbed the car, grabbed them and said, hey, I'm on my way with the car. I thought they were just going to stop, but they kept walking.
Chad:So, they were basically at the house by the time you left. No, they were basically at the house.
Tim:you like, drive backwards on the driveway, hey I came to pick you up no, I mean we had to, I had to make you know, go down, you know a few blocks and pick them up and yeah come back. So but yeah, it was um dude 150 dollars yeah, that's crazy, that is nuts.
Tim:It was funny like it progressively it progressively got more expensive, like it started off at like, like, like I said, like 20, 15, 20 bucks in the morning and then just up from there, the, the wildest thing though I think they make it.
Chad:Though they make it, someone's gonna pay it. You know, like someone's gonna pay the money to. Yeah, I mean, they wouldn't charge that amount if they weren't oh I know, paid people, people pay.
Tim:And that's what's funny. It's like I remember tammy the first time. They're like like yeah, $150.
Javier:And she's like you've got to be kidding me. You're out of your fucking mind if I'm going to pay that money, yeah.
Tim:But you're right, people pay, yeah. The craziest thing, though, was the Chapel fans on Saturday, sunday, sunday, sunday, yeah, sunday. They got there before the gates even opened, and when the gates opened, they ran to the stage. The chapel is going to be at six to eight hours later to set up at barricade, holy shit, and here's my issue with that. Fuck all the other artists that are going to be there, right, that have fans that want to come and be there. No, chapel's fans which I'm not saying all their fan base is like this, but the ones that are, they're not.
Javier:I don't like them. No, they're not. They're not festival people. Yeah, there was a picture. There was a picture I saw of somebody that had a tarp out. It had to be maybe. I want to say 10 by 10 oh yeah, with all the chairs with all the chairs around it, nobody sitting in them, and they were like saving the spot.
Chad:Oh, fuck that.
Javier:Like what they, and so I think what they need to start doing is they need to just have people like say hey, you're going to be here for this guy, we're going to clear it out as soon as he's over and then whoever wants to come see him, y'all can come back. But it was pretty fucked up because they were blocking.
Tim:I think at one point they were blocking, like the bathroom side, and well, I mean it's fucked up because, like all the other artists leading up to it, and it's not chapel's fault, she's, she's, she's a great, fantastic showman. She put on a great look, I was.
Javier:I did not want to see her. I was like against, I was like man, fuck chapel roan because the fan base. Well, that yeah pretty much okay because, like I mean, you obviously can spot them out. They got their pink hat and they're wearing pink and they're wearing boots.
Tim:I mean, and I didn't hate all of them, it was the ones that specifically ran up there and took up space for other artists. That's the thing it's like. I just felt bad for the people that wanted to see the artists that came on before her. Yeah, that wanted to see the artists that came on before her because they could not get close. And here's where it gets really gross. So these people are literally not giving up their spot and they're sitting out there for six to 10 hours. Where are they peeing?
Chad:On the tarp, on the ground.
Tim:They're just taking pisses on the ground. That can't be true.
Javier:No, it is true, people were saying on Reddit and they were I mean, obviously it's a thing, right. So they had box water, hot box water, ready for people Like, hey, you need to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Which, by the way, every artist there, pretty much for the most part, were saying hey, hydrate, drink water. I know you all want to get fucked up up, drink some water too.
Javier:And I'm like, yeah, bitch, and I'm like fucking pounding beers and shit and um and then you died, and then I died, and they had to resuscitate me, oh dualipa oh my fucking, but it's.
Tim:It's so fucked up, though, like that whole, that whole thing yeah and so people are saying next time you see that, which you will see it. If you see a girl that's squatting to to just piss out there, push your shoulders down, make her sit in it and then disappear in the crowd. Jesus christ and I was like wow, that's uh, that's pretty rough so I don't understand when and and.
Chad:This is gonna be just fuck me, right. Uh, so you know, if this ever hits the tiktok or whatever, people are gonna roast me, but when the fuck did chaperone become such a big fuck? Where have you been, sir? I'm like I understand, like the music's great.
Javier:I know one song well last year, it was last year, yeah, pink pony, or um adventures of a midwest princess or something like that.
Tim:Yeah the name of the album.
Chad:I believe so but to have like a fan base like that dude, I mean it's like taylor swift type fan base, but like within the year yeah, that's crazy. I would say within the last uh, good for her the last six months but to see the crowd that was there for her and how much like shit I've heard about people just going acl for her. It's just wild like how quickly, even within a year, that you're able to pick up that big of a fan base. Like shout out to her, that's fucking legit.
Javier:Yeah, that's crazy but like she had to cancel like a show because of um the mtv vmas yeah like people were kind of pissed with that. They were like, oh well, I paid all this money to see which also, by the way, she was supposed to perform on saturday, and she ended up just doing sunday, like she moved sunday because he had to accommodate her to put her on a bigger stage right and people were pissed off because they bought didn't leslie buy a saturday ticket or something like that?
Chad:no, no, um, someone did her co-worker um tara tara. Okay, tara bought it and then she moved, but it was because the bigger stage situation right yeah so I just want to say there's a lot of, there's a lot of kids that like chapel.
Tim:You know they've got hot to go and that's a you know it's a catchy song oh, chris rock was dancing to it.
Javier:Yeah, chris rock was there. Yeah, oh, so many actors were there.
Tim:A lot of actors. There's a lot of actors, okay. Well, what was funny is she's teaching the dance and she looks over and she's like who are the people that are in the house over there? Oh, that, that's the artist. The artist.
Javier:Artist lounge.
Tim:That's all the celebrities are.
Javier:And they weren't doing any of it.
Tim:She was like y'all are freaks for not doing it. It just called him out. It was funny. But here's what got me is like all the kids that love this, right, yeah, and there's parents out there that have heard like hot to go and things like that.
Chad:But but kids.
Tim:But sometimes it's raunchy oh, yes, so, but kids get, you know they'll, they'll get on youtube and listen to it, and maybe the parents don't know. And so the parents were like, yeah, I like some of the artists, but you want to see chapel, so we're going to bring the kids out. And it was crazy to see kids. I'm talking, like you know, eight, nine, ten, eleven year olds doing eight balls screaming hang
Tim:on screaming the lyrics that. I'm gonna read the chorus to this song I always eat me out. Knee deep in the passenger seat and you're eating me out. Is it casual? Now there's something to be said about little kids screaming that that just makes you uncomfortable, dude, come on. We were kids singing, like you got it better, like you know usher song you want to fuck me like an animal.
Chad:Yeah, yeah, I know it's a little bit different, though, when you're doing it under the cloak of your parents, not knowing really you know, when your parents are there. But then when your? Parents are there and you're just screaming At the fucking festival, but you don't, but that phrase right there.
Tim:kids don't understand that. Like little kids, little kids, yeah, probably not. And I'm talking about. There were little kids that were singing this and I'm just like oh, that's crazy.
Chad:But to your point, we probably sang things that were raunchy from like 80s, 90s music, that kind of thing that we didn't know, sure. And then you listen back to it and you're like fuck like baby got back.
Tim:Did you really knew, know what the fucking my anaconda don't want none, unless she got buns that's right.
Chad:I mean the movie anaconda was recent at that point.
Tim:It was like three years later, four years later I'm just, I'm just saying like, as I've gotten, as I've gotten older yeah you, you, you then realize like this is uncomfortable. Yeah, I get it. And the other thing that was uncomfortable was so I I went to that Mexican OT set which, oh, what's his name? Was over there, the comedian.
Javier:Ralph Barboza.
Tim:Ralph Barboza, it was in the crowd. Yeah, he crowdsourced. I was almost close enough to Because.
Javier:I was like looking at the videos and I'm like, is that Ralph Barboza?
Tim:He's fucking shirtless. Yeah, it was so. First off, mexican ot brought a little kid up on the stage because the little kid was being held up by his dad and he did the whole like grinning, you know yeah and so he brought him up on stage, and so this kid like hung out on stage the entire time repping his cowboys jersey even though they fucking sucked ass that oh yeah, but it was fucking cool.
Chad:You don't have to watch it.
Tim:So that Mexican OT dude, solid guy man, he's a, he's a, he's a good performer, he's a great performer. But what was crazy? So I'm standing there in the crowd and these girls walk in and like it's festivals, you see them with, you know, like wearing next kind of young, and then one of them turned around. I'm like you have a face of a 14 year old and what are you fucking wearing right?
Tim:and so now I'm in, like I'm not even a dad, but I'm in dad mode at this point yeah and I'm standing there like I'm keeping them like pretty close to where I'm at, because I'm watching all the people around in the crowd, because I'm like I don't know if they quite know like who we're here to see, and you know, it might generate some people that are not the greatest people sometimes and guys can be pretty disgusting, you know, and depraved.
Tim:And so I'm like standing there like making sure nothing, nothing bad's gonna happen yeah and about halfway through the set nothing bad happened, but I could tell they were getting uncomfortable with just like you know, know the lyrics and stuff like that. And they turned around and she had just had this look on her face and she wanted out of the crowd. So like I stepped aside you know, helped him get out or whatever, but it was just one of those things like you're like I know you're probably just sneaking out and your parents have no idea what you're wearing. But also, how did you afford the 300 something dollars a ticket?
Javier:Oh, the $300-something dollars a ticket oh, they got money man.
Chad:Oh yeah, people got money over there, so maybe. So I went to ACL 10 years ago, right, I guess I was 27, 28, something like that, and I don't remember there being that many kids Like maybe I was just like drunk or young and not noticing it, but I don't remember there being a ton of kids, so there were a ton of teenagers. Chad. So there were a ton of teenagers, Chad. You were just young and dumb and full of cum buddy.
Javier:I wish you wouldn't have said that.
Tim:I feel uncomfortable. I mean, weren't you, though? He's not wrong. Anyways, there was a bunch of teenagers there.
AI:There was a bunch of teenagers.
Javier:There were.
Tim:And throughout the whole ACL Fest Reddit there's people talking about how they kind of ruined it. They kind of ruined it. They kind of ruined, ruined everything because just the way they acted concert etiquette.
Chad:They I feel like a festival should be an 18 and up type situation fucking dropping the dj laz.
Javier:Christy, fucking dj laz, all right.
Chad:So I want to know I want to know something important.
Javier:Yeah.
Chad:From each one of you, the top three artists, like the best performance of ACL.
Tim:The best performance for ACL. Top three, top three. From you so Blink 182. Okay, hands down 100%. They were number one for me. Man, it's a toss-up between Foster, the People and Chapel Roan. I didn't realize Foster was in there. I'm going to lean towards Foster because I was actually close enough to see them.
Javier:Can I guess your third? Guess, my third, teddy Swims no.
Tim:Teddy Swims was fantastic.
Chad:That's fucking great dude, that's fucking great.
Tim:Teddy Swims was great you mean bigger Cody Wells. Yeah, bigger was great. Um, you mean bigger cody wells? Yeah, bigger.
Javier:Uh, I think my favorite I think the top performer was probably jungle jungle, and I'm not even like a.
Tim:I'm not a fan like jungle's great they're good, it's not my, it's not my music, but they were. They were great.
Chad:They were absolutely um delightful I enjoyed them, did not realize foster the people that were there, yeah, they're great, especially live, so they're great so blink and foster played like pretty much nothing but hits like yeah blink, blink, of course, did all their hits, and then, uh, but foster, just I mean, and then of course they closed out with pumped up kicks.
Tim:Yeah, yeah, I felt like you had kind of had top three.
Javier:Blink, Jungle and Fuckaroo Dude. It has to be either Teddy Swims or Tyler.
AI:Teddy Swims, I was excited about Tyler.
Javier:Tyler was. This is no particular order, but Blink put on a great fucking show.
Tim:It was fan, fucking tested, had their banter like they always do. Tyler, though, I would say for pure stage performance and production. His was cool. He was up on like a. It looked like he was on the Grand Canyon.
Javier:It looked like remember that one Kanye show where he was on a mountain.
Tim:Yeah, yeah.
Chad:Same shit yeah.
Javier:Same shit, yeah, same shit.
Chad:Huh, you know, I've still never seen Blink-182 live.
Javier:That was my first time and holy fuck, that was perfect.
Tim:That was my third time. It could not yeah.
Javier:This was their last show right for their American tour. Yeah, they blew me out of the water.
Tim:Ew, they blew me in the water too. So my issue with Blink is the ticket pricing now. Oh yeah, because I mean to see him at Dickies. It had been like close to $200 a seat and that was in like the nosebleeds. Is that resale or initial?
Tim:price See that's the deal. It was resale and I don't know what the initial price was. It was still expensive. Yeah, resale, and I don't know what the initial price was. It was still expensive, yeah, but I paid like 300 some change for general admission tickets for ACL, so I got to see Blink-182, foster the People.
Javier:Tire of the Creator, teddy Swims, jungle Fucking Nora Jones, nora.
Tim:Jones fucking killed bro. That was the first artist we saw when we got there.
AI:We walked in and she was playing it.
Tim:And let me just tell you you, she's still fucking hot, and she still sounds great like it was, like I stepped back into like the late 90s, early 2000s and I just sat in my chair and just kind of don't know why I didn't.
Chad:Is that her right? No, yeah it is, I don't know why I didn't go, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think of like all right, yeah, yeah but she was at bucky's earlier in the day.
Javier:I was wondering was she at bucky's the same time we were?
Tim:I wonder might have been probably, but yeah, she was, she was fucking great, yeah, um, so yeah, I I look at like, yeah, sure, I spent 300 and something dollars a ticket, but I got to see just seeing them like nor just seeing, nor jones wait, you spent 300 something.
Chad:I take it's 300 something, so you spent 750 a ticket. Well, no, no, no, no, because I'm me and tammy's, oh, yeah, yeah yeah, it was about.
Tim:Yeah, it was about 700 and something dollars after everything for two tickets okay, and that's not vip.
Chad:I was like did you do vip? Like no, we're not with each other 750 was ga plus, it wasn't even vip, vip was 1600 did you have a ga plus.
Tim:No, we got GA.
Javier:Because whenever I did VIP, that was about $1,400. What was it? You did VIP one time. Yeah, it was the last time I went in 2019. It was $1,400.
Tim:If you want to get a suite or whatever it's like $30,000. A bungalow it comes with like 10 tickets, I think, and all you can eat, all you can drink.
Chad:I mean, I want to break down the math that might not be that bad.
Javier:So look okay, no, it's 30 grand, but came with, like I think, 30 tickets. So when you think about it?
Tim:Was it 30 tickets? 30 tickets?
Javier:Oh, because it was seating for 30.
Chad:30 grand so it's easy to get 30 people.
Javier:That's worth it. I mean absolutely.
Chad:Because you're sitting on top and it comes with food and alcohol.
Javier:Yeah, you get VIP service. You are taken.
Tim:They've curated menus.
Javier:They've curated menus. They take you in a golf cart to the different stages, and then you can actually go side stage.
Chad:Dude, we can easily get 30 people to do that. Yeah, I know Everybody.
Javier:I know Everybody's married with kids Christy and Hervey we can get 30 people, I think so.
Chad:See, that is something I would pay money for, because financially that seems responsible, dude.
Tim:It does. None of it seems responsible.
Javier:Dude, it was great. I'm telling you the experiences I mean.
Tim:After Chapel, we're going to talk about how best of we put the TCL in $36 Tijuana Tijuana City Limits coming in from G it was $36 in Tijuana, damn man for three days all right.
Chad:Now three worst three worst.
Javier:Some of the people that were there were just pricks or let down artists, artists no, it was all.
Tim:Every we saw everyone we want to watch. All the ones were hype like every single great dude. No one was a letdown no, not a single artist that I saw while either walking by or whatever, was a letdown nice if we get I will say this real quick back to the bungalow.
Javier:If we do get 30 people to go, then I would love to just do the bungalow.
Chad:Do that, I'm down I'm telling you ahead of time. I definitely want to see who's there. Even if I don't absolutely love the lineup, I feel like a thousand dollars is worth doing a situation like that, like that's a that's a cool vacation yeah, that is a vacation yeah, that'd be
Tim:wild. It'd be a lot less stressful as general mission, general missions like um. It's like the hunger games really it is.
Javier:It is everybody all stanking and just trying to.
Tim:I will say that it didn't smell as bad as I was expecting.
Javier:No, after Chapel I was expecting. Honestly, from looking at the view it looked crazy but being there I was like, okay, I got space here, I got space around.
Tim:Yeah, you weren't like shoulder to shoulder. I mean, I imagine if you were up front it was shoulder to shoulder.
Chad:That's what I ended up doing for um eminem and pearl jam, because they were like the last two of the night, yeah, that one time. But I was like that's fine, I'm gonna get way far, like I don't want to deal with people because it's the end of the night, and I still got a hell of a show and it was still good audio. You know what I mean?
Javier:yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what though. It was worth it, though, because I got a nice view of some ass and titties over there.
Chad:You know what I'm saying well, I mean we do, because you literally said exactly what you're saying, yes, like there was no it was fantastic.
Javier:It was fantastic I was, I was. I was feeling kind of weird at first.
Tim:I was like I'm right here so explain to me when this happened this happened after because I was, I got lost you got lost.
Javier:You and jesse got lost yeah, uh, that's a whole.
Tim:oh, timmy went to the bathroom.
Chad:I was watching.
Javier:Dom Dala. It was between-.
Chad:Ass and Titty story time at ACO. Yeah, okay.
Javier:It was between Chapel and Tyler. Dom Dala was playing. I was watching Dom Dala and in front of me there was a couple in front of me and they were dancing to the music and they were making out and they were getting pretty frisky. And then he started taking pictures of her and then started pulling titties out.
Javier:And then started bending over and doing all these cool-ass poses what kind of cool-ass poses. It was some cool-ass poses dog. She was looking real tight. I was just saying, but it was really fun, but it was cool, that was it it was stuff I saw.
Tim:I saw a devil and she was dressed as the devil. She was in fishnets, in a thong and with devil horns. Nice, I did see that. Um you know, uh, austin, austin allows you to freely go topless, male or female really, yeah, I didn't know, yeah, and I was actually surprised I didn't see as many topless people out there.
Javier:I did see one with pasties. Yeah, I saw one whenever we were getting in and um outside that.
Tim:I did read in the um, and had I known this I would have. Just well, it's not like you could have teleported there, but uh, at one point, I guess the uh, the entrance that we like to go through not the main entrance, the side entrance yeah was unmanned for a certain amount of time. Oh shit, and people just got in. Yeah, wow, I don't know what day that was, it was like Saturday, I think. Oh, I think the best thing about ACL, though, like what they're doing they had water stations.
Chad:Yeah.
Tim:So I love a place that I love, a festival that has water stations and Fort Worth is starting to do that more depending on the size of the crowd determines that they're going to have water stations or not. But a lot of the big festivals now that we have in Fort Worth at Panther Island, are having these water stations set up. Tacos and tequila did not. At Panther Island are having these water stations set up. Tacos and tequila did not and they had people passing out left and right because it was. You could either get a bottle of water or a tequila flight or whatever for the same price.
Chad:I mean you're going to go with tequila every time.
Tim:Well, yeah. Yeah.
Chad:I think that legally they should have to give out free water. It seems like it's more of a like an issue for them when people pass out you know what I mean like that's and that doesn't look good, like it's bad pr when people die now give out free water.
Tim:I did find out um through someone that works for, uh, the ems service down there. They had over the two weekends they had 80 000 patient contacts, 80 000 holy shit, they touched at least 80 000 people and provided some sort of medical care.
Chad:That's insane were they just like going through the crowd and giving people band-aids?
Tim:no, because that seems like people come up, that's that's.
Chad:It wouldn't like 100 000 per weekend. That's like almost half of the people that were there. Right, that's a lot.
Javier:Somebody posted on Reddit. If there was a time for checking on overcrowding or overselling of tickets, they showed the chapel. If you look at everything, it was more than half.
Tim:It looked like the entire park did.
Javier:It was more than half. It looked like the entire park was dead and it was just crazy. And again it was kind of like that in 2019 with Lizzo and Billie Eilish. Same situation. They were in smaller, they were at the Honda stage. Billie was at the Honda stage.
Tim:God, I would have loved to have seen Billie at the Honda stage. Great fucking performer. Billie Eilish is a great fucking performer, but the other stage because I was smack dab in the middle watching billy and then lizzo came on and that shit was just insane and yeah, I again I feel bad for the other because there was another artist that was playing. I thought, because you know they, they split the main stages the honda stage and the american express stage yeah so they're playing, people are playing at the same time on those stages oh, and tito's.
Javier:The tito stage is like kind of nearby also, so nobody nobody.
Tim:I say nobody. There was people at the at the honda stage seeing them, but um pretty lights no, no, no, uh, for during chapels oh and I'm not sure who was at chapels. I can't remember who was on the other side, but they had a hard time getting people to accept that spot because I mean, I get it Because people were canceling day of.
Javier:These were like two artists that didn't show up Steven Sanchez didn't show up, but he was earlier in the day and someone else.
Tim:Yeah, there was people that were complaining. They were like I just want to see Steven Sanchez, and then I found out that he didn't show up.
Javier:I will say this didn't, you know, didn't show up. I will say this I the one thing. I don't know who he is. I was glad we saw everybody. Jungle didn't have any other shows come through. Eric vickers, from down and out, was at their show on sunday in dallas, so I bought tickets for acl to watch jungle.
Javier:that was. We fell in love with jungle like a couple months ago, and we were like, where can we see these guys? And no one, it was just acl. And we're like, well, maybe they have here in Dallas between weeks Nothing. And so we're there and before we see them I see a post that they're like, oh, we're going to be in Dallas on Sunday. I'm like, oh you motherfuckers. Same with Foster the People. Foster the People hadn't toured in a long time.
Tim:And same situation time and um same situation. They announced a tour that day. We were watching them at acl. I want to know so. So they are doing a tour? They're doing, they're coming back to texas.
Javier:They're coming to dallas. They're coming to house of blues okay, cool, I will.
Tim:I will 100 get tickets for that.
Javier:I hope they play uh mind over matter. That's a good one that's great. It's not. That's a great one it's not even positive.
Tim:It's a young the giant. Yeah, that's a great one. So but's not, that's a great one.
Javier:It's not even positive people, it's Young the Giant. Yeah, that's a great one. Oh, and I bought tickets Like same situation On Thursday. I bought tickets for my birthday to go watch Fatboy Slim Because I've never seen Fatboy Slim. I've always wanted to see Fatboy Slim and he's playing in Dallas and I'm going, and Jamiroquai, I think, has an anniversary for his album. Yeah, and I hope he announces a tour because I'm going to go watch Jamiroquai.
Tim:I will too, yeah. So it's too many shows man, Too many good fucking artists. Can we just take a second for?
Javier:Titties yes.
Tim:Titties Great shit, love you, but both right.
AI:yeah, I remember middle school high, like early high school, whatever, um watching jameriqua's virtual insanity music video video.
Tim:Yeah, and thought that was like one of the coolest fucking music videos yeah and fell in love with that style of like just jazz yeah, it's a like acid jazz.
Javier:Yeah, yeah, god damn so good and then Fatboy Slim.
Tim:What was that? What was the one?
Javier:They had one music video that was I can't remember, is it a Nothing else for me to do but dance.
Tim:Yes.
Javier:Can't heat. Got can't heat in my heels tonight, baby.
Tim:I remember hearing that for the first time.
Javier:Was it during Napoleon Dynamite? Because I think that was the song. It was.
Tim:It was. Was it during napoleon dynamite? Because I think that was a song. It was it was, but fell in love with it like I. I'm.
Javier:I'm here for these bands um that are now coming back and doing these tours. So coldplay is doing their, their tour. I'm sure they're gonna announce here. I haven't announced alice and el paso was announced, but not dallas yeah, I don't think they're coming.
Chad:They're gonna. They're gonna come to to Dallas. No, I think it's going to be El Paso. Y'all want to go to El Paso, because I'm down.
Javier:I mean I kind of from whenever me and Tammy went to El Paso.
Tim:I kind of want to go to El Paso El.
Javier:Paso not bad. We found a great coffee spot over there.
Tim:Hop over to Juarez. Yeah, see a donkey show.
Javier:It's about the same. Oh, I think Sammy was getting mad because I was doing this. You know, I think, who was that Mexican OT was performing?
Chad:Yeah, el Paso's got those tacos that everyone talks about. That I've been wanting forever and I've never had them. Culo tacos no, they're like these sauced. I think they're like rolled tacos, almost like enchiladas, but they're not. I don't know, I've never actually had.
Tim:They call those tapatios, and then you get them with the those are divorciados. Divorciados.
Javier:Clotas divorciados, god damn.
Tim:I'm hungry, dua Lipa. So we oh my fucking god so we watched.
Javier:Oh, dua Lipa dude. So we caught a little bit of Pretty Lights.
Tim:Which Dude, I actually really like Pretty Lights. You should listen to them. It's a DJ set with a band, with a full band. Okay, so we caught a little bit of that. I really enjoyed that. I could have just sat there. It was a whole vibe, but Javier was chopping it up.
Javier:I was like I got to go see Dua.
Tim:Lipa. So we went over there and saw Dua Lipa and we caught the last bit of her set in man there was an article the next day fantastic, there was an article the next day.

Chad:Oh, it has been a while since I've seen Jessie. I saw her in pictures on ACL. She was not there. That was her. That was a. That was a imposter, someone you paid for. It was one of those um cardboard cutouts. So so, talking about festivals, right, are we going to go to shacks base all-stars? I am, I got tickets. Are you boys going?

Javier:Is there a new metal music festival?
Tim:Yeah, it's called Sick New World.
Javier:Really. Yeah, I'd love to check that shit out. It's in Las Vegas. I love Nu Metal. I miss.
Tim:Nu Metal. In fact it's coming up. It's a mixture of not just Nu Metal, but they've got other metal too, but a lot of Nu Metal. So the headlining for Sick Nu World this year is Linkin Park and Metallica. Metallica's headlining that which they're not Nu.
Chad:Metal. What do y'all think about Linkin Park with the new female singer?
Javier:I think she's like anti. I think, she's pro life. They went with the wrong singer.
Chad:Why do you say that?
Tim:So there was another female singer that I think did a better job at singing, similar to how Chester sang, and I can't remember her name.
Javier:Look, the new singer does a pretty good job.
Chad:Yeah.
Tim:I heard a song and it was pretty good. I'm not a fan of.
Javier:Linkin Park. I am glad.
Tim:I was a little bit. When we were younger, linkin Park was my first concert, so the only album from Linkin Park that I actually truly liked was the Jay-Z Linkin Park club oh the.
Chad:Collision Chorus Damn Javier, and I listened to that fucking nonstop.
Javier:Dude yeah, we did Fuck.
Tim:That was good, that was good, I just never was like, I never really got into. I didn't like Chester singing, I didn't like his vocals.
Javier:Well, good for you. Good for you. He's not here anymore, I guess. Thank you, Tim.
Tim:I'm sorry and I'm going to say another un other unpopular opinion. I don't really care that much about mac miller so are you sending and you're the reason.
Chad:Why are you?
Javier:the reason why the conspiracy theories how they're getting killed.
Tim:Yes, tim's interesting, it's me no, I mean, I think, okay, let me take that back. I think mac miller is was talented, it's just not, it's not my style. It's not my style, I mean. Chester also very talented and whether or not it's your style, it's still not my style, him and Mike Shinoda were.
Javier:I mean, they played off each other very well, yeah, I think they, I think they just, you know, bounced off. Yeah, just like me. And Roy karaoke for that song. I'm like oh.
Chad:God here, we go, why here we go again? Why you sons?
Javier:of bitches.
Chad:Why do you hate us so much? I don't hate y'all, I just hate whenever y'all do karaoke.
Javier:Why? Because y'all just want to suck. Why don't you just suck each other off on stage? He's got a point.
Tim:It's very much. I want to suck each other off.
Javier:I'm just waiting for y'all somersault into your mouth I I think chad would be doing the somersault I'm with them, calves yes, yeah, I know, you can launch all right, are we?
Chad:is there anything else you want to come for acl pretensions just uh, I think the merch stuff was pretty cool.
Javier:I think, didn't?
Tim:the people doing security were nazis, um I mean give us it was the security was hit or miss.
Javier:It was hit or miss, I know whenever. Now, when you bring up the backpack now, I'm like fuck man.
Tim:Now he's really upset.
Javier:I'm really upset about the backpack Hang on.
Tim:I just want to go to say, I just want to say that we told you not to. Yeah, I know Y'all did, y'all did.
Javier:But if I didn't do that, backpack and honestly that herschel backpack was falling apart, that's true I needed to get a new one. Um, no, no, um, I think, yeah, I mean, yeah, I think, terry yes, they should. We're gonna be arts, that's what they should do at acl karaoke that would be pretty cool they do uh silent disco. I mean, why don't they do karaoke the same way? They just just have everybody with the Right. And you know.
Tim:Everybody's singing their own songs.
Javier:You just walk out of the tent and you're like why does it sound like a bunch of fucking cats having sex? Oh my God, Wah. Are y'all going to be at Art's Calgary? Yeah, yeah yeah, maybe my cat's having surgery on Friday. He's going to get his balls removed removed.
Tim:He'll be fine. You can make an appearance for a short period of time You'll be fine.
Chad:Pets have surgeries all the time. It's going to be fine and that's balls.
Tim:Believe me, I've had multiple pets that have had multiple surgeries. They were fine.
Javier:Tammy wants me to help her put tinsel and stuff in hair.
Chad:So you're going to go to the wrestling match on Friday?
Javier:I'm going to try to man. Go over there. Matt Warpro Wrestling at Martin House Go over there.
Chad:If you're not doing it, okay, and it was so much fun last time we went. God damn it.
Javier:Yeah, please go, man, you're missing out.
Chad:It's only like 20, 30 bucks, something like that, and it is so worth the money.
Tim:Chad, I want to stop into what you said. I want to jump in your ass.
Javier:Oh wait, we didn't even talk about what he did. What did you do over the weekend, buddy? Absolutely not I know he was in Jacksboro.
Chad:Yeah, just at the dear least doing shit. And then went out for Sarah's birthday on Sunday, hung out with Jay and Lance, watched the shitty, shitty football game and had a good time. Finally checked out Hudson House house that was really good.
Chad:Have you been, you've been right, no, no hudson uh, it's right down the street from lucille's but yeah, it was really good bro lucille's always goes hard, though, man. So, yeah, I sent you this, so let me tee this up. So I sent you this clip um, and y'all haven't heard this yet. So essentially it's like this three to four minute clip um. Look I, I love being talked about. You know what I mean tell me more chad and this podcast is talking all about us what yeah, no yeah, yeah, so tee that up all right.
AI:So you know how much I love digging into stuff that's really working right, and today we're talking about a podcast that's seriously killing it the funky panther oh, I've heard of these guys yeah, they're based out in fort worth okay and they've somehow managed to bottle this vibe. That's like if you could take a night out with your friends. All the fun, all the energy yeah turn it into a podcast.
AI:That's the funky panther, and today we're going to figure out what makes them tick, what makes people love listening to them. Right, is this real? Honestly, maybe snag a few ideas for ourselves, for sure, I mean the thing that, and today we're going to figure out what makes them tick, what makes people love listening to them. Is this real? Honestly, maybe snag a few ideas for ourselves, For sure, I mean.
AI:The thing that jumps out at me right away about the Funky Panther is that they get it Like they understand that it's not just about what you're talking about.
Tim:It's about how you make people feel they actually say they want their podcast to feel like quote the start of a night out. Hang on here, I'm gonna pause for just. I don't remember saying that by the way we might have we did you make?
Chad:did you make a chat gbt?
Javier:thing. No, no, no no, I swore to fucking christ I have you're gonna break my balls and make me feel like really happy, happier than I am right now.
Tim:I haven't created anything but I I I don't know.
AI:yes, and that is such a good way to put it. Yeah, because it does. It feels like you're at like the rowdiest table at the bar, you know, like you're just in the thick of it, with all that you know, unfiltered off the cuff, energy.
Chad:Totally yeah.
AI:But at the same time and this is what I think is really cool it doesn't feel random. Like they've got Chad, who's's like level headed, kind of the anchor, you know he's got a million hobbies. Then there's javier, yeah, and javier's like the wild card, you never know what he's gonna say. And then they've got tim, their producer, who's just trying to wrangle these guys in, right?
AI:well, and that's what makes it so good. You know that whole dynamic Because think about it Everybody wants to feel like they're part of a group of friends, you know, just hanging out having a good time and it's funny, right? They talk about being unfiltered and they've got all these like weird inside jokes that only they seem to understand.
Chad:We're not that weird, we're not that weird, I'm still really blown.
Tim:I'm confused confused.
Javier:Is there more to this?
Tim:audio there is. I'm just paused it for a second.
Javier:I'm very confused I'm gonna fucking punch you in the face. If this is like some ai bullshit, do not be coming at me. I'm gonna catch you with my. I'm gonna teabag this shit. My, my balls are gonna be in your eyes and my dick is gonna sling into your mouth.
AI:I'm, I'm gonna be so pissed. That's part of I have no part of this. You know what I?
AI:Yes, because you feel like you're in on the joke.
AI:Exactly, exactly. They've created this sense of community around that, like you're part of the inside joke, even if you've never been to Fort Worth.
AI:Yeah, which is another interesting thing, right, because they are Fort Worth through and through.
AI:Yeah.
AI:They're very clear about that. Okay, people way outside of fort worth right.
AI:Well, and I think that's because they found that sweet spot, you know where. It's local, but also universal. Yeah, like, yeah, they've got that texas size charm for sure for sure but they also talk about music, they talk about sports, they tell personal stories, all these things that everybody can relate to, no matter where you live.
AI:Absolutely. And on top of all that, these guys are consistent. Yeah, I mean over 180 episodes every Wednesday night like clockwork, the even live stream on YouTube.
AI:That's huge, man, and think about what that says to your audience. You know you show up every single week, same time, same place, for 180 weeks.
Tim:Yeah.
AI:That's commitment that builds trust.
AI:It's huge.
AI:People know what to expect. They know you're going to be there, and that goes a long way.
AI:For sure. Okay, so we're talking about the humor these relatable hosts, the variety of topics they cover, that spontaneous energy they bring every single week.
Tim:I'm going to kick you on the subject. That didn't sound, right, that didn't sound right, it's AI.
AI:I mean, is there anything else Like what's that special, something that makes it all click, especially for them?
AI:Honestly, that's the million-dollar question. Yeah, I mean we can see all the ingredients right, but how do you combine them in that perfect way that's both like irreverent and relatable? It's a tough needle to thread. Yeah, part of it is their chemistry. You can tell they're genuine friends, they're having fun, but it also feels authentic. You know what I mean? It's not forced it really does.
AI:Yeah, so how do we bottle that? Like if somebody's listening to this, thinking man, man, I want to do that too, whether it's their own podcast, a blog post, whatever.
AI:I think the best thing you can do is go listen to an episode.
AI:Yeah.
AI:And really pay attention to what grabs you, what makes you want to keep listening.
AI:OK.
AI:And not just the jokes, not just the topics, but the overall vibe. What are they doing that makes you feel connected to them?
AI:And once you figure that out, think about how you can apply that to your own thing. Right? It's like they've given us this awesome blueprint for building a community, right?
AI:Exactly.
AI:It's up to us to take those lessons and run with them.
AI:Absolutely.
AI:So there you have it. Go check out the Funky Panther, definitely do, and let us know what you think, what you pick up on. Alright, we'll be back next week with another deep dive.
Tim:So it was the podcast on. The podcast is what that title was.
Chad:Right.
Tim:That's fucking AI. It's got to be.
Chad:Why do you think that?
Tim:There was some nuances that I heard in just pronunciation, unless the guy's just stupid. No, I don't know.
Javier:Goddamn, just tell us if this is real or not. I feel like it's fake.
Chad:It's fake, but but listen, here's the thing javier.
Javier:This is why I'm gonna pull my dick out right now, you, son of a bitch. This is why you can still be. That was really good, though, right it was fantastic.
Chad:So here's the deal is I, I didn't go through the rigmarole that you have done, where it's like trying to get the nuanced voices and shit. I didn't do anything. I I want to know which. What app did you use? So I use two things.
Chad:One, I use chat, gpt, sure, and I said, hey, I need a two page summary on everything the funky Panther, everything you can find online, everything you can find from the website, from the videos on YouTube, social media. Just give me a two page summary. And so that, essentially, is the two page summary of the funky Panther. Like, that is not for me. I didn't, I didn't write any of this, I just said go and find it.
Chad:And then I took that two page summary and Google came out with this thing called notebook LM where essentially it's kind of a way for you to, um, like if you have a topic at school or something like that and you've got like this notebook thing that you are like a what, like a fucking essay you need to write, or something like that, you can run this through the podcast, for through the notebook LM, and it'll kind of do this as a podcast style to help you learn about the thing. And so I I ran that two page thing through notebook LM, and then it created the conversation and some of it came from you know what I had given it, and some of it came from finding shit on the website too crazy it's wild.
Chad:I didn't feed any of that, like I didn't give any information other than this is our podcast. Tell me more about it, man.
Javier:You got my dick really hard and now I'm just here with my dick in my hand.
Chad:This is why you can still be hard. Okay, it's because this is what can be thought about our podcast out on the internet. This is what ai can find about us. This is what people can find about us. That's that's the positive right?
Tim:yeah, you're upset I'm sitting here like what? What fucking podcasts are talking about?
Javier:no, that was really. I mean, that was. I love the description. I'm really. That was pretty from the chat.
Chad:I really hate ai so much at first.
Tim:At first I thought it was going to be like um something like npr. Really I thought andrew was talking something about us, you know I was like yeah, what's andrew talking about?
Javier:you know, and so they're a bunch of pedo fucking lovers and they're gonna vote democrat, um, but uh, no, that was, that was really. That was really good, son of a bitch I'm sorry.
Chad:I said I thought it was fucking awesome I thought it was good it was good, it's just crazy, like a year ago, which you stole, like a bottle.
Tim:I do, I gotta, I gotta buy that um this is just insane.
Javier:everything that's happened and come out. Yes, that really does sound like a fresh air on NPR. It was really good. That was really.
Chad:Did you see that Google is actually looking into nuclear power? You know so the thing with AI is it generates like you need a lot of power. Like one prompt on ai takes like the equivalent of like a thousand google searches or something like that.
Javier:It's fucking crazy, it's wild kind of like how much energy mining, kind of like data money right like cpu usage, energy, all that kind of stuff.
Chad:So google's looking into like either creating because we don't have nuclear plants really in the us right we got, we got, uh, yeah, we got a couple yeah, three mile islands.
Tim:Opening back up um for microsoft? Okay, yeah, so they've struck a deal. They're gonna open up another reactor for that.
Chad:Uh, we've got one, glenrose oh yeah, still functioning, that's right we've got one over in california um by san diego okay so I mean, that's only a couple that I know of off right, but it's not widespread and I think Google's looking to do a little bit more with it so that we can actually combat the possible energy crisis that we're going to come into because of AI, with fusion, with nuclear fusion possibly happening in the next 20 years.
Javier:I mean it kind of We'll see. I mean I'm sure there's going to be progress made.
Tim:yeah, it's not as dangerous as people make it's a cleaner safer energy, right?
Javier:I mean just to chernobyl, three mile island and the the fukushima plant in japan. I mean, that's just natural disasters. Did, did, uh, fukushima, but uh, yeah, I think it'd be. They should have been doing this for the start. They should have been doing, um, like the fucking nuclear figuring out fusion, because you can only do so much with quantum. You they need to do quantum computing is what they need to do right and I think that'd be pretty good have y'all put any money into CPUs?
Chad:What is the chip company? Nvidia, nvidia, no, no, no.
Javier:I still have it on GameStop. Smart choice my dude, I'm only down $16.
Chad:I feel like Nvidia is one of those things where, like you know, like 80% of their employees are now millionaires. You know that I didn't. 80% of Nvidia's are now millionaires. You know that I didn't. 80% of NVIDIA's employees, because they have stock, are now millionaires. They had a problem keeping their old employees because they're just done.
Javier:They're like all right, I'm rich now.
Chad:I'm just going to relax, but I think that it's not done. And so I bought in in the summer where I was like it's one of those things where you're like should I Because it's one of those things where you're like should I because it's probably already hit its peak. But you look at facebook. Facebook's continue to grow. Even if you would have bought five years ago, you'd be making money.
Javier:I mean, like it's kind of one of those things where you're there, there are two-sided, two-sided stocks where you're just there to hold or you're there to just buy, pump and dump. That's what you know, and so nvidia's a hold yeah, it's kind of big fucking regret for fucking dog money. Goddamn dogecoin. I mean it's still, I'm not negative. I'm negative, you know, like 100 bucks, but it's just it gets fucking annoying going back and looking back and I should have fucking cashed out when I did I don't think we've heard the end of that either I don't think so either because it's it goes.
Javier:It's just fucking obviously the way it works.
Tim:Y'all should have bought. I'm just going to tell you right off, whenever COVID happened, y'all should have bought into Rick's hospitality. Oh yeah, y'all should have.
Tim:Y'all should have. I've made money. I haven't checked in a while, but I mean easily. I was up like $100-something and I didn't put hardly any money into it, but I knew. I knew strip clubs are not going to go away and if Rick's Hospitality can survive, covid, whenever they kick back up their stocks, are going to go back up and they sure did have y'all heard about this new app.
Chad:They actually brought it up on the UFC. They were advertising it on the UFC. It's called autopilot.
Tim:Yeah, so you have to have. I've looked into it. They recommend having a good amount of money, at least $500.
Chad:I put $500 in just to kind of get it going and I've already made money. But essentially autopilot is this and there's different things you can pay. There's a pay plan where it constantly manages your Robin Hood, so you don't have to do it.
Javier:Is that the one that's getting like the stock information from like Nancy Pelosi? Yeah, you're exactly right, it's got autopilot, is it an?
Chad:app. So it's like yeah, yeah. It says like trade like the politicians, because everyone knows there's insider trading.
Javier:Those motherfuckers there.
Chad:Like Nancy Pelosi, like absolutely insider trading, like she's selling shit, and then three to six months later something happens. Come on Like it's just too obvious.
Javier:Is it on the App Store?
Chad:Yeah, and they're also on like X and they're on Instagram. They're on like everything and like different names other than autopilot, like Pelosi tracker, I think, on X and then something else on Instagram, so you can kind of keep up with things that are happening. Like there was this one lady, this politician, that bought $15,000 or 15,000 shares, something like that, in her son's name, of this silver stock I don't remember what it was exactly and then, like three months, and everyone's like well, that's kind of weird, like why was this done? And so they kind of pointed out that we're like we're not giving you advice, but we thought this was weird, so people bought into it and then it just skyrocketed by like 30 in a month or something like that. So it's like this, this shit's crazy. Like obviously it's inside insider trading, if, if you know, they're beating buffett on some of this shit. But I just think.
Javier:I think it's interesting I think you the way you're saying it it's. I saw something. I think I sent it to y'all on a tick tock, uh, but it was like an SNL um skit about uh, nine, 11. And uh, but anyways, where where's the fucking y'all?
Chad:during the UFC, whenever they did the first thing at the sphere, right when it was supposed to be this big thing, and, um, they had autopilot on one of like the you know rails of the octagon or something advertising, I don't know.
Chad:But they actually got this model that didn't look like Nancy Pelosi, but she kind of looked like Nancy Pelosi, but much younger, and she took her clothes off, no, and they like would put her in, like with the Nelk boys, like they were gambling and they threw her in there and they're like nancy pelosi hanging out with the note boys. It's like they're just putting her in front of, like all of these, like influencers, and like you know, apparently they had been planning this for weeks and and like their skyrocketed you know, I mean not their stock, but you know their, their company yeah, uh, but yeah, it's.
Tim:It's pretty interesting. Yeah, I looked into it, but I mean, I didn't have just five hundred dollars to spare at the time, right, yeah?
Chad:I mean. But if you do, it's worth just fucking around with, because almost every single one that I put in, because you put in 500 and then it breaks that 500 into percentages of what Pelosi has right Cause you get to choose the politician that you're kind of following, and every single one of the ones that it put in for me, other than one.
Tim:So, like I don't know, 12 out of 13 are all up, like every single one and it'll sell whenever it needs to sell, whenever she sells, if you pay for it.
Chad:I didn't pay for it so I can pull it out when I want to. But if you, yeah, if you pay for the monthly fee or whatever, if she sells, it'll sell like it'll do just everything she does, man.
Javier:so I can't find it I can't find it, but it was like chris parnell, it was like a, like a meeting with people. It's like, uh, hey, so I try to buy security options uh before, uh, you know, in the summertime. But my rep told me that he was totally against it and I didn't end up going with it. Um, why is that? Is it because, like, uh, you and your friends bought all the stock? He's like yeah, so essentially, with the 9-11 attacks happening uh later in the summer, uh, we thought it would be a good idea for us to buy all the stock insecurities and, um, you know, just make a lot of money out of it. He's like so, you knew about the 9 Basically, and so it's kind of like it's kind of how it fucking happened.
Javier:I mean, it's kind of weird.
Chad:It's crazy how like you will see people taking and fuck us right For not thinking to make a financial decision off of everything. Like during COVID, people made millions based off of, like, good or bad decisions. But whenever something bad happens and you think financially, you think about stocks and stuff. You could be really Brit, you could make a lot of money, but that's just not how the majority of us think.
Javier:How are you taught about stocks? What do they tell you whenever you're going to buy stocks for the first time?
Tim:Buy low, sell high.
Javier:So somebody was like look, buy the things that you use, Whatever you use in your house.
Chad:The things you believe in.
Javier:The things you like. Buy it, Because if you buy it, people buy it. And then the stock price will go up.
Tim:All my stocks are in war machines.
Javier:You mean like from Iron man, the?
Tim:industrial complex.
Javier:Oh, the military industrial complex.
Tim:Yes, I've got tons of stocks in Lockheed Martin Boeing.
Javier:Rayon and Raytheon. Yes, I've got tons of stocks in lockheed martin bowie on and yeah, and yeah, fucking insane yes, yeah, I started buying into that when we started sending shit to ukraine man god damn it.
Tim:If only I had known before the invasion uh g's, you know g's, over here y'all, y'all hear about the conspiracy theories related to the, the mines and silicon and and north oh yeah, oh yeah lithium about, so they got like a lot of we control storms they got a lithium deposits and stuff and so but that's like we caused you know, we caused the flooding because we want that land, so we can have a reason to yeah, it's kind of far-fetched yeah, but there, there also is a lot of cloud seedings real?
Javier:of course it is. Yeah, it's been proven.
Tim:They you know proven that they showed trails man what is it?
Javier:um, the guy from uh, top gear from the bbc, like there was a is that big black yep, that's. That's the same um, like there was only bbc's. I know there was like a rocket like a rocker propelled rocket, stupid me yes and you know, they showed blast off and then it affected the clouds and brought rain. It's like that's made from what we're doing right now.
Tim:I've seen that porn.
Javier:Yeah, it wasn't rain though.
Chad:It was, oh, it was rain.
Javier:Yeah, it's Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry.
Tim:Whenever any natural disaster happens, it's always conspiracy.
Javier:It's always the Jews.
Chad:What happened? Conspiracy, it's always the jails. What happened? All right, so I I did another five.
Tim:Uh ai weird topics for the week. Okay, do you want to do that again or no? Yeah, I'd like to do that again, but uh, javier, I don't want to cut in front of the camera. Do you mind? There's another simply lemonade in that fridge. Can you get me a beverage?
Tim:please sure, of course that would be great. Um, I just didn't want to. I didn't want to walk in front of the camera and then ruin a potential clip that we could have. Yeah, because you never know, you never know Javier's over there and we just make him do things, yeah, he's the brown one. He's a sweet boy who the fuck is that? He didn't hear me, it's back behind it's second shelf towards the back. There you go, chad, do you want anything?
Chad:No, appreciate you. No, I'm good. Yeah, all right. So I've got five new ones from, I think, the past week, um, and so I'm going to start off with a question. I'm going to change this up a little bit from what I did last time. So, number one would you trust a burglar if that burglar cleaned your house? All right, so that makes me think about.
Tim:Um, when the manson family first started doing stuff, right, they went in, just rearranged people's furniture in the middle of the night, really, yeah. So that makes me think about when the Manson family first started doing stuff, right, they went in and just rearranged people's furniture in the middle of the night. Really.
Tim:Yeah, so that's what they started off just to make sure that they could effectively sneak into people's houses. So they'd go into the house, they'd rearrange your shit and leave. Think about that for a second. Yeah, Would that terrify you. Absolutely that is ridiculous, so I think I'd be terrified if a burglar came in and cleaned my bathroom, you know all right.
Chad:So a man in wells was recently arrested for breaking into homes not to steal but to do chores. He hung laundry, cleaned the floor and even left a friendly note saying don't worry, be happy, I'd move or get like a shotgun and um I'd booby trap things despite his efforts, uh, he was sentenced to nearly two years is this guy paying it forward or something is it like? I mean, you can't do that from prison, so he should have just just read.
Javier:You know, it's like just pay it forward, pay it forward, break into your neighbor's house it's fucking wild.
Chad:Um, what would you do if your town was invaded by parrots? What if the River Oaks was invaded by parrots?
Tim:Well, first off, I love parrots, and so I would try to Invaded. Do you want an invasion of anything? No, but I'd try to catch one.
Javier:And then have myself a pet, nice, I'd teach him all the words. He's going to make him say racist words.
Chad:Hey there, peter, he's gonna make him say like racist words hey there, peter tim hates beaters. And then they all just start saying it. All you need is one and they're all gonna start, they all catch on to it.
Javier:Yeah, tim's like a gumtretna. I can't say river, river, oaks becomes a becomes a town known for racist parrots, jesus.
Chad:so every year, a small small town in Argentina is taken over by tens of thousands of noisy parrots. Birds cause chaos by chewing through electrical wires, dropping waste everywhere and keeping people up all night with their constant squawking. The town was has tried everything, but the invasion only gets worse every single fucking year man I close the town down, nuke it, just close it down, just nuke it. When they get there, yeah, like set a trap of like everyone left the town. The parrots show up and they bomb it yep we forgot my children too late, ma'am.
Chad:They're gone now they're with the parents, all right. Have you ever thrown out something valuable by accident, javier? Um or by purpose recently recently like a backpack or oh fucker.
Javier:Uh, that probably backpack. It probably had to be worth 20 bucks at that point.
Chad:Yeah it was valuable to your mind, it was to you is now sentimental looking back.
Javier:The guard was a dick.
Tim:The guard was a fucking. Well, he showed back up asking like about, he showed back up to see if they had it. You know still, and he's like that's long gone.
Javier:That thing's long gone. He actually like laughed at him, I just wanted to piss in his face and be like this is what you get.
Chad:So a Dutch museum worker recently threw an entire piece of artwork in the trash, not realizing it was part of the exhibit.
Javier:Is of artwork in the trash, not realizing it was part of the exhibit. Is this like one of those? Um, like a meta pieces were like a chairs there with like probably.
Chad:It was probably looking like garbage and he's like this is garbage. The museum had to go searching through garbage bins to recover and they did uh, the discarded art. I want to see this art now. I know I kind of do too. I'm gonna pull it up, um how would you feel about?
Javier:wait wait, wait. I'm looking at. They have this loud screaming sound they make if they get mad or scare you. Oh, those about the parents I was thinking about, like art, remember that uh from the uh what show Louie and uh Button, that's hands down the uh, the Louie CK show. That's a hands down, the best episode if you want to watch it, just google it.
Tim:We're not going to talk about it hits it once, it says a word and then it never says it again and then people are like what?
Chad:okay, this should have been fucking garbage. It looks it's. It's a beer can, it's two beer cans one's dented and like laying on its side and the other one's just sitting there. I mean, come on, come on, you can't put that on the museum like the custodian dude. I would have thrown that shit away too. All right, how would you feel about driving a transformer truck? You mean Like Optimus Prime, yeah, like a transformer.
Tim:Yeah, I would feel great about it. Well, that's a stupid question. Like rock hard about it.
Javier:It's like my whole childhood man. I just wanted to be all up inside. What if you didn't realize that that was a sexual pleasure? He's like oh, it's, you're in me, drive me. Oh, I'll pull my stick shift. And he's like jizzing out of oil. Ah, there's that. There's. There's a meme of like somebody doing a, like a breathalyzer, like a metal breathalyzer. It's good. And the next picture's got robocop, like oh shit was. Every time I see that I just die fucking laughing. I'm gonna pull it up, I'm just gonna just so that way you can see it. It's fucking funny man.
Chad:In rural china, transformer style trucks that turn into banquet halls at the push of a button are becoming all the rage. These trucks can unfold into dining spaces large enough to host 200 people in just six minutes. That's not as cool it's not, but it is still pretty neat. It's just a truck that turns into a venue for 200 people. That's kind of wild. Would you eat a cake shaped like a fancy dress?
Tim:Hang on. I want to go back on China real quick. China They've got a bunch of cool cars that have all this cool tech.
Chad:Yeah.
Tim:But we'll never get them here.
Chad:Right, it's kind of disappointing, honestly.
Tim:It is very disappointing.
Chad:They've got like Teslas that are better than Tesla now and they look fucking legit.
Tim:They're saying that it would throw our car market for a loop.
Chad:Because they're cheap as hell.
Tim:It's ridiculous yes, yeah, now, all right, what I would? I like a cake that's shaped as a nice dress. Yeah, would you eat a cake?
Chad:that's shaped like a fancy dress I mean I'll eat a cake is it a cake then? Yes, yes, I mean, I'm gonna eat it. A talented vietnamese baker has gone viral for his cake shaped like tiny, uh aristocratic dresses. The detail on these cakes is so intricate that people can hardly believe they're edible, looking more like miniature works of art than dessert, that's not fun.
Tim:That was why would you go as a okay, as a baker you're gonna. You're gonna spend all your time making something that intricate, right yeah for someone just to eat.
Chad:I mean, look, it made it on the funky panther podcast and, as we heard from the podcast, talking about the podcast, we're kind of the shit.
Tim:So I mean, did it work?
Chad:Yeah, we're talking about this dude.
Tim:I want to ask you a question real quick. Yeah, both of y'all. Have you ever been like scrolling? You don't get on TikTok that much, but now I'm seeing all these ads for, like, you got to get this and blah, blah, and it doesn't seem like it's an ad. It seems like I'm legitimately talking about something that they found. But it's an ad and they keep doing it right Well.
Chad:I got you suckered yeah, I got suckered into something. You got to send me these so I can use them for Get Blitz. I need some of these ideas in my life. You got to send me some of these. Okay, I can to me, yeah, so um, I bought some men's shapewear.
Javier:I'm just gonna say what you're wearing my tank top underneath here.
Tim:It's shapewear, it's an echo it's echo beaters the echo beater I did see that on instagram.
Chad:I see it on reels, but yeah, I saw it.
Tim:Yeah, it's uh, it's comfortable, yeah um it, it, it holds everything down yeah I mean you still have a little. It's not gonna suck everything in, right, but it just. It just makes you feel a little bit more. I get it now I understand why women wear Spanx.
Chad:Listen, I don't know why guys haven't already Like why does it seem so frowned, like why is this just now a thing?
Tim:And I want to go a little bit further with that. You know why is there a stigma against? You know, getting a toupee. Why is that frowned upon now? I mean, I've seen women wear wigs, right why can't men?
Chad:because women are wearing them, because they like the style, guys are wearing them to cover some shit up, like I think that's the difference, like if you had, I don't know, and you wore a wig. As a man, I think it would be less weird than wearing a two-piece. Maybe not Now that I'm saying it, probably not, no, just wearing a wig.
Tim:But I mean, women can do it, why can't men? Why can't men? Men can wear makeup. Why are we wearing makeup? I got suckered into something else.
Chad:I'm already into the. I want men to be able to wear dresses and skirts. I've talked about this before. I think it's in the future. I bought men's makeup.
Tim:It's been a while I tried it. It did not work. It was the wrong shade.
Chad:You already wore the men's tanner.
Tim:The tanner's fine. Broglo. Broglo's great. This was a tinted face moisturizer thing or whatever For men. It was marketed towards men but they only had three shades and I was like I don't feel like I'm this shade. Where does it go? I'll try the shade all over. No, you put it on your face, the makeup. Yeah, it's a Facebook, it's a, it's a men's like concealer.
Chad:Why I?
Tim:tried it. I don't know, I just want to. I like it Seemed like it was. I needed some skincare routine. All right.
Chad:So all of this stupid shit that you're buying, you could put it at the Pelosi tracker. I don't know what you're doing with your money, but it's not right.
Javier:I've bought a lot of shit on TikTok shop.
Chad:I know you have because we've all got one.
Tim:Chad would be a bad bitch with a summer dress and some heels.
Chad:I'm telling you, I am jealous of women that get to wear. I'm telling you, I am jealous of women that get to wear. I wish it would be politically correct for men to wear dresses or skirts, because I just feel like it's so airy.
Chad:I want to say just nice, like if we didn't have to wear slacks and I could go to work. Like I can't wear shorts to work, but if I could wear like a men's dress or skirt and still be professional. You should just try it. I will be. I'll probably be fired. Someone's gonna not be okay with that. The discrimination I mean, you're not wrong with that it's a lawsuit.
Tim:Now you own the company. I don't know that's how that works. I, I know it. Um, I would say, if you put uh chad in some pumps, uh-huh, oh them calves would, they would pop, they would pop. Yeah, yeah, that's true. The problem is is finding something that would fit your feet in some pumps.
Chad:Uh-huh, oh them calves would, they would pop, they would pop, pop, yeah, yeah, that's true.
Tim:The problem is is finding something that would fit your feet. Yeah, you got big-ass feet. Well, he doesn't have big-ass feet, but he's got he's got normal feet.
Javier:He's got normal-sized feet. I say, both of you, especially Chad, should wear kilts. I mean y'all just I don't have the legs for it. You don't need to have the legs, you're going to have it down to your.
Chad:My ankles. I just don't want Like kilts are always plaid. I don't want to wear plaid.
Tim:Like I want it and I don't want it. They're coming khaki and black. Huh, not plaid, that's pretty nice, that's just an excuse.
Javier:You're just making excuses. Now the products are there for you. There's no fucking plaid, Says the man with the hair coat. I'm wearing this bitch. This shit is warm as fuck.
Tim:Like this is like that's his new winter coat.
Javier:And then Pete is going to see them and they're going to throw fake blood on them hell yeah. And then I'm gonna punch them and you're gonna be like this is a tyler the creator. How dare you? It's not real.
Chad:Look, I don't even have to wear it. I just gotta like put it over me, drape it over me like this. I'll tell you, ads don't really get me. I think that's why I'm having so much problems with creating good ads, for my thing is because, like I don't understand ads, I don't think I've ever actually pulled the trigger on an ad. I did see the shirt ones and I was like, huh, that should be okay to wear. Got some broke ass bitches. They're tight as shit, though.
Tim:I mean, I think they're supposed to, they are, they are. I wasn't, I got extra large and it's tight Point. It's tight, yeah, tight point it's tight, yeah, but it's nice, it's like, it's like I'm getting hugged. Oh sorry, just constantly getting hugged. And it's not that they're not hot like. I can't imagine wearing freaking spanx. Those things seem like that would be really sweaty I wanted to buy something. I would be super sweaty in my downstairs if I was wearing spanx I?
Javier:I mean, I didn't. I brought a bunch of underwear for acl. I didn't wear any of it. What yeah?
Tim:I had those. Oh, you wore the shorts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
Javier:And the ones that you gave me. I love them, those are legit.
Chad:Those are legit motherfuckers. I'm jealous. I really liked those. I liked the material, yeah, and it just one size up.
Tim:Do you still underwear to shit yourself at least twice a day? What is that a thing? Because that's a thing for me, like I'm not shitting myself twice a day but I bring enough underwear, just you know if I need to shit myself twice a day at least.
Chad:So let me get this straight when you go to acl for a three-day weekend, you're bringing nine pairs of underwear pretty close. Holy, are you actually shitting yourself? I think I brought six pairs, like why why not bring, just you know, maybe five, maybe two extras, just in case?
Javier:So like whenever I go somewhere, whenever we go somewhere, I will wear my underwear. Take a shower, wear new underwear, get home and then, like in the morning, shower, again wear underwear If we've been out, you know, like perusing a city. Change again new underwear. So I'm wearing, like perusing a city, change again new underwear. So I'm wearing like two different underwear a day, you know. So I mean, it kind of makes sense Sarah gives me shit.
Chad:She's like how are you Like I'm doing laundry constantly? I'm like, well, because I go to work and I'm wearing, like you know, button up and jeans, and then I get home and I put on like a hoodie and shorts, and then we go out and I change again and I put on like another button up in shorts and stuff. I'm like I'm sometimes I'm changing three times a day yeah, you're doing like three outfit changes sometimes, like on a weekend, like a Friday night or something, I could be dude.
Chad:I used to shower twice a day.
Javier:I used to shower like that's excessive. I used to shower in the morning and at night before bed who needs to shower twice, a day like he I just
Javier:wouldn't shower before work well, so that's why I've just been showering after work before bed and then I'll wake up and you know whatever. But yeah, because I was just overdoing it, I got these ashy ass elbows and I mean yeah, you can't wash too much, no fuck, no. And so like now I'm like, okay, well, I'm not. If I'm gonna do it once it's gonna be, or if like, if I'm gonna do it once, I'm gonna make a count yeah, I'm gonna.
Tim:I'm gonna sit in the tub and cry I'm gonna roll around.
Javier:We didn't use that fucking tub. We didn't use that tub I am so mad we didn't use that fucking tub a cool tub or what?
Tim:yeah, javier and I had a chance to spend time in the tub together. Oh, again, we chose not to.
Javier:Oh, that's unfortunate would have been a good fucking picture opportunity, god damn all right, we have anything else.
