Summary

The guys talk about growing up on shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, what those kinds of sitcoms meant to different audiences, and how that ties into their friendship and the tone of the podcast. They also get into the whole heat-versus-cold debate, comparing Texas summers to frigid winters and admitting they are basically “inside people” who care more about a cozy house than a big yard.

They also discuss Austin versus Los Angeles as comedy cities, breaking down why LA can be brutal for new comics, what the Austin scene looks like now with spots like the Mothership, Creek and the Cave, and Helium, and how hard it can be to break into those rooms. On top of that, they talk about what it would really mean to move their families, where they could realistically see themselves living, and how different that choice feels once you are already established in comedy.
