Hey, Jeff.

Hey, Eric.

How are you?

I'm pretty good.

How are you?

Doing well, thank you. How's everyone here doing? So Jeff and I had to beat the snow down here from the Northeast, and so we had to change our flight to Monday. Yeah. And that meant that like we couldn't stay here in the hotel another day because it was already booked, and we had to get an Airbnb. you know, there's always like one weird thing about every Airbnb.

Like sometimes the shower head is like, you know, a foot too short or like, you know,

they'll tell you not to open up a closet or something.

But this one was, everything was weird.

Yeah, it was like, what'd you call it, Nightmare Village?

Nightmare Village.

It was, it's somewhere on the east side in Austin, and the cab pulls up, and every other house is, like, lit on the road, except for this one house. And he's like, I think that's it. And so we go in there, and what did the guy say first? Well, first of all, like, you know, you have to have the handoff with the keys and everything.

And the guy was like, don't worry about it. I'll just leave the door open. And you can just get the keys inside. And I was like, that's a terrible idea. No, I'm not doing that. I don't, you know. Yeah. So you asked him to leave it in the mailbox. Yeah. You found him in the mailbox.

Yes.

Opened up the one, like, lock on the door.

And it's like the house almost like fell over.

Like it was... mailbox. Yeah. You found him in the mailbox. Yes. Opened up the one like lock on the door. And it's like the house almost like fell

over. Like it was it was dilapidated. It was terrible. There were like used Q-tips like all over

the place. Yeah, yeah. Used tissues. There were coins all over which is like I don't know if he was

a trail leading us somewhere but they're like in the in the, there were coins. It was very, very strange. Yeah. And then also there was a, like a, a tersel, like, idling outside for like 15 minutes playing fuck Donald Trump. Yeah. So we didn't know if this was like. We thought it was a setup. We thought that we were 100% going to like... These were... The Airbnb hosts were going to rob us in their own home. Right. Welcome to South by Southwest. Yeah. So anyway, so now we're staying at the JW Marriott. Yeah. Which is, yeah. Anyway, we're about to get into this podcast and we can only do it in one way, right? Yeah.

All right.

Yo, what up?
