Transcript

00:00
(yells)
00:01
(dramatic rock music)
00:04
- Oh, hi there.
00:05
You smell that?
00:06
Smells like my hometown.
00:08
(upbeat rock music)
00:19
- We put the ass in Texas.
00:22
- God damn it, Ned.
00:23
(upbeat music)
00:29
(light music)
00:33
- Welcome to Austin, Texas.
00:34
The best city in the United States.
00:36
- [Ned] Today, the Try Guys are the Travel Guys.
00:38
- We're gonna be experiencing culture, food, recreation
00:42
and night life.
00:43
- So because Austin is Eugene's hometown,
00:45
Eugene created the itineraries.
00:47
That means Eugene is gonna succeed over us
00:49
even more this episode.
00:51
But I'm gonna do my best to take that spotlight!
00:54
- [Eugene] We're going to get makeovers.
00:56
We're gonna try some breakfast tacos.
00:58
We're actually gonna have a live podcast here
00:59
at South by Southwest, see all the sights,
01:02
we're gonna visit Dirty Sixth,
01:03
the iconic going out spot in town.
01:05
We're gonna try some barbecue.
01:06
And we're gonna show you exactly how
01:08
Austin is weird in every beautiful, magical,
01:10
cool way possible.
01:12
- Look at that skyline!
01:13
Have you ever, can you believe it?
01:16
I had four cups of coffee because it is early!
01:20
(dramatic music)
01:22
- We are here on Lady Bird Lake.
01:24
Austin is known to be a very fit and active city.
01:27
So, of course, I made everyone get up
01:28
super early this morning
01:29
so we can go kayak on the Colorado River.
01:32
Everyone's really excited about this.
01:34
- Yeah.
01:36
I like kayaking.
01:37
I don't like waking up.
01:38
- Kayaking!
01:39
My mom's favorite activity.
01:43
- I didn't take my Dramamine, know what I mean?
01:46
(upbeat music)
01:47
- People have a certain stereotype about the American South
01:50
and Austin defies every single one of them.
01:53
Stroke, stroke.
01:54
- Look, I grew up in New York.
01:56
I don't have a wonderful impression of Texas.
02:00
Oh, it's dripping on my pants.
02:02
- There's all these festivals here all the time
02:04
but I'm excited to just get to know the people.
02:06
Find out why they like it here.
02:07
- I'm very excited to be here
02:08
during the week of South by Southwest.
02:10
- This is their first ever live podcast recording.
02:14
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Try Guys.
02:17
- But I'm also trying to figure out
02:19
what makes Austin weird.
02:20
- We're gonna do a race.
02:21
We're gonna go from here
02:22
all the way past that dock, okay?
02:24
- Okay. - Race?
02:25
- Liberal Mecca.
02:26
Food trucks, Tex-Mex.
02:28
And I can't wait to get weird inside of Austin.
02:31
Also my dad's here.
02:33
Three, two, one, go.
02:34
- All right, we're going back to shore, yeah?
02:36
- Going back to shore. - Okay, sick.
02:37
And we are going home!
02:40
(upbeat country music)
02:45
Thank you. - Beautiful.
02:46
- Thank you.
02:47
- Hey, guys, welcome to Cavender's.
02:48
I'm Dillon Deckert, nice to meet you.
02:50
We've been around since 1965.
02:52
We're still family owned and operated to this day.
02:55
- You're basically gonna help us today
02:56
with a Western makeover. - Cool.
02:58
- [Eugene] What do you think is the most important item?
02:59
- I think we get you into
03:00
a sweet pair of cowboy boots today.
03:02
We gotta find the boot that fits you.
03:04
- It's like finding a wand.
03:05
- Yes. - In Harry Potter.
03:07
The wand has to choose you. - Yeah, sure, sure.
03:09
Let's start over there.
03:11
- Let's boot scoot boogie.
03:12
- [Eugene] Keith, your puns are out of control in Texas.
03:14
- [Keith] Well, I'm familiar
03:15
with all of the songs I heard growing up.
03:17
- Wow, look at all these boots!
03:20
Oh my god!
03:22
- So we have over 8000 pairs of boots in this location.
03:26
They do anything from what I would consider
03:28
a basic Western boot, been around forever.
03:31
But they get into some crazy things too,
03:34
like this horse power.
03:36
Ostrich print vamp with a green top to it.
03:39
- I probably falsely assumed that
03:42
cowboy boots would be very conservative.
03:44
- [Dillon] You're not alone in that.
03:46
- I mean, you know, girls in my high school
03:47
would go to prom in boots.
03:48
- Oh, sure. - Yeah, so there were
03:49
always tons of fashion boots.
03:50
- By the way, Ned, this to down there is all your size.
03:55
- Really?
03:56
- So this aisle-- - Whoa.
04:00
- Becky would kill me if I brought this home.
04:02
So looks like I'm about to die.
04:05
This is ridiculous looking.
04:07
- So the best way to start delineating
04:10
is picking out a toe style you like.
04:12
This is gonna be your typical Western toe boot.
04:16
This is a seven toe.
04:17
It's what John Wayne used in a lot of their movies.
04:20
- Less rounded, more like angle.
04:21
- Absolutely.
04:21
It's a little bit more punchy, as we would say in Texas.
04:24
- I want to see what boot, can you hike those up?
04:26
- Sure, absolutely.
04:27
This is a real Mercedes.
04:29
They're made handmade in Mercedes, Texas.
04:32
Came in crocodile vamp. (sensual music)
04:33
- [Eugene] Yeah, that's like a little surprise under the--
04:34
- Yeah, exactly.
04:36
- So do you always wear the bootcut down over,
04:38
'cause it's like you're hiding the beauty.
04:40
- Sure, sure.
04:41
I get that.
04:42
Every once in a while, get wild and throw a dress on
04:44
and hit the town. (Eugene laughs)
04:46
- The main part of the boot that's gonna show, though,
04:48
is this bottom. - Yes.
04:49
- This is gonna kinda be a little hidden treat for just.
04:52
- [Dillon] Right, for you.
04:53
Exactly. - After hours.
04:54
- That's a treat for you. - After hours.
04:56
- [Zach] Does he need different jeans?
04:57
Those won't fit over a boot, right?
04:59
- [Dillon] So we will have to get you
05:00
into some different jeans if we want 'em to fit over.
05:03
Too skinny! - Too skinny for a cowboy.
05:04
- Too skinny for a cowboy.
05:06
- [Eugene] I think I'm interested in
05:07
a classic cowboy Stetson, wool felt style.
05:10
Something that-- - Sure.
05:11
- [Zach] Do you have children's hats?
05:12
- We have children's hats, but I think we're gonna
05:14
get you set up with a real deal adult hat.
05:17
- Okay. - We run the gambit
05:18
of head sizes in our crew. - So we're looking about
05:21
24 inches.
05:23
- Wow, we're finally gonna know definitively
05:25
how different that our heads are.
05:27
- About 21-and-a-half.
05:29
- Three-and-a-half inches bigger.
05:31
(beeping) - So to give y'all an idea
05:32
about how different your head sizes are,
05:35
those are kinda the opposite ends of the spectrum
05:38
when it comes to the sizes that we have available.
05:40
- We knew it.
05:41
You know, I think I'm digging this dark chocolate.
05:43
- We can actually change the shape on these.
05:45
- Really? - And then what
05:46
do you call this style? (Eugene laughs)
05:49
Yeah, this fits perfect.
05:51
So this is a style that I'm into.
05:53
This one's a little big.
05:54
- Do you have any idea who made that hat style
05:57
popular that particular-- - Zach Kornfeld.
05:59
- Little guy by the name of Lyndon B. Johnson.
06:01
- Lyndon B.! - Yeah.
06:03
- Husband of Lady Bird. - Yeah.
06:05
- Eugene, do we like Lyndon B. Johnson?
06:07
- Yeah, Lyndon B. Johnson's all right.
06:09
- Like, I know this city does, but what did he do?
06:10
- He took over after Kennedy was assassinated.
06:13
We'll talk about it later.
06:13
- I need something near my crotch
06:14
to let people know that I'm serious.
06:16
(laughing)
06:17
You know?
06:19
- So buckles really, what they are is
06:20
they're showing off winners.
06:22
Guys win their belt buckles.
06:25
So they were made for you.
06:27
- [Keith] Maybe one with a pig on it
06:28
or something with an animal or a chicken.
06:30
- No, no chicken.
06:31
But we do have our bulls and horses.
06:34
- Horses. - Horses.
06:36
- I thought you didn't like horses, Keith.
06:37
- I don't like when girls love horses
06:41
because a girl who loves a horse
06:42
will never love anyone more than that horse.
06:44
And I can't have that.
06:45
I need to be number one.
06:46
But I appreciate the majesty of a horse.
06:50
They're very sexual beings.
06:51
I want to put the horse near my horse.
06:54
(laughs)
06:55
- Could we see some big 'ol
06:57
horse options? - Sure, absolutely.
06:58
This has to be the most impressive belt buckle
07:01
that turns the most eyes. - Oh my goodness.
07:04
- We got bullrider, we got the rubies in here.
07:07
They're gonna see you coming from a mile, cowboy.
07:10
- It makes you seem taller.
07:12
- You said that people earn their belt buckles.
07:14
I'm not a bullrider.
07:16
But I am Keith.
07:18
I think this is the right call.
07:19
This looks good. - That looks great.
07:21
- Yeah, I love this.
07:22
(upbeat country music)
07:25
(whip cracking)
07:29
(dinging)
07:42
- All right, boys, you ready to go to the next stop?
07:44
- Let's hit the town. - First we gotta pay for this.
07:47
- Oh, yeah. - I gotta give you my card.
07:48
- Sounds like a plan. - Do you take cash?
07:51
(dramatic music)
08:02
- Hello, welcome the to Tamale House in East Austin, Texas.
08:06
The Tamale House has been around since 1958.
08:09
So we've been dishing out some good homecooked Mexican food
08:13
for many, many years.
08:14
My name is Diane Valera and I'm the mom of this operation.
08:19
- You're our mom?
08:20
- Of course.
08:21
Once you walk into that door, this is your home.
08:25
And I adopt you.
08:26
- I'm sure the other boys here are very curious
08:29
about what is it with Austin and breakfast tacos?
08:32
(overlapping chattering)
08:36
Who invented the breakfast taco?
08:37
- Abuelitas invented the breakfast taco.
08:39
It was a food that grandmas
08:41
and moms made to feed their kids in the home.
08:44
Some of it was by necessity.
08:45
It's like what do you have in the fridge?
08:47
What can you feed your kids?
08:48
- My grandfather had one of the first tortilla factories
08:52
and so as a child, we would grab a tortilla
08:55
and my mother would make the potato and egg
08:56
or whatever there was.
08:58
And it's just a meal of love
09:00
because you can grab anything that you like.
09:02
Whether it's cold or hot, they're good.
09:04
You use a tortilla and you can put anything inside of it.
09:07
- [Eugene] Take one.
09:09
You want to clap?
09:09
- Yes. (claps)
09:11
In today's vlog is we're eating different kinds of tacos.
09:15
(giggles) - Yeah, that's,
09:16
I mean, you pretty much handled it.
09:18
- So let's get going.
09:20
My name is Jax, I'm six years old and what's your name?
09:25
- My name's Eugene, but you already know me.
09:27
- Yep.
09:27
- Okay, we need to just say this.
09:29
Eugene and Jax met on the airplane on the way here.
09:32
- So I just met my new best friend.
09:34
Introduce yourself.
09:35
- My name is Jax.
09:36
- This is the first child that Eugene
09:38
has ever taken a liking to.
09:39
We don't know what's happening.
09:41
But we're just gonna let it ride
09:44
'cause something's weird's going on and I love it.
09:46
- And you guys are
09:46
both from Pflugerville. - Now he likes he kids.
09:48
That's why he likes me.
09:50
- [Ned] What?
09:50
Eugene likes kids? - Yeah.
09:52
- You weren't supposed to tell anybody.
09:53
That was a secret.
09:54
- Character growth.
09:56
- [Jax] We're introducing the tacos now.
09:58
- [Carmen] So that's Mom's Migas Taco.
10:00
Made in specialty.
10:02
- Jax, you get first bite.
10:06
(Eugene laughs)
10:08
- Yum. - Nailed it.
10:10
- Yum, yum!
10:15
- I mean, you know what? - You know what's true,
10:17
in Texas you eat them with your hands.
10:19
- It's like corn sauce inside of chicken and bun.
10:24
- Yeah, it's kinda like corn sauce
10:25
inside of chicken and bun.
10:27
That's what I was going to say.
10:28
These don't taste eggy.
10:30
Like you'd expect them to taste super eggy
10:32
but the flavors are really balanced.
10:33
- What's next? - All right.
10:34
- So this is just a traditional breakfast taco.
10:39
- [Eugene] There we go.
10:42
(laughing) - I mean.
10:43
He nailed it. - The flour tortilla's
10:45
just so soft and pillowy. - Wow.
10:47
- That's delicious. - That adds so much flavor.
10:50
- When I grew up, I'd have breakfast tacos twice a week.
10:52
- [Keith] These feel like something you crush for us.
10:55
- [Zach] This is just perfect bacon.
10:57
- Next taco, please.
11:01
- Crispy! - Oh.
11:01
- [Carmen] We're moving into lunch now.
11:04
- Oh, wow.
11:07
- What a fast reviewer you are.
11:12
- [Ned] Do you guys taste the little lime on the guacamole?
11:14
- You know, if you oversqueeze the lime,
11:16
you get the bitters.
11:17
It's bad to oversqueeze your lime.
11:19
- [Keith] That's crazy.
11:20
- Well, you're wearing a bolo tie.
11:22
You know what you're talking about.
11:23
- I do believe him with that bolo tie.
11:24
- Yeah.
11:24
As a native East Austinite what are some things
11:26
that make Austin so special?
11:28
- Growing up, Austin was not a big city.
11:30
It has really changed.
11:32
It's always been a community that tries to be close.
11:34
Having local residents here is wonderful
11:37
but I think it's also been wonderful
11:39
for people to come from the outside
11:40
because it is so diverse.
11:42
We're trying to deal with traffic and housing
11:44
but I think, in the end,
11:46
people try to keep a positive outlook.
11:48
- How do you like growing up in the Austin area?
11:50
- Awesome.
11:51
It has special places because
11:53
some of the United rules were made there.
11:56
Mm-hm. - What?
11:58
- Oh, 'cause we're the capital.
12:00
It's 'cause we're the capital of Texas.
12:02
- The waws.
12:03
- The laws.
12:04
- I get it. - The United rules.
12:06
Wow, I actually like that terminology more.
12:07
- [Zach] That's better.
12:09
- [Diane] What's next is a chicken tomatillo tamale
12:12
(whistles) with mole.
12:14
- Wow, it's beautiful. - It's the mole.
12:17
- Mole. - Chicken.
12:19
- Chicken. - Tomatillo tamale.
12:21
(laughing)
12:23
Another rave review.
12:24
The second it touches your tongue.
12:27
- We're here to stay.
12:28
We need to make it good for everyone
12:30
and if we do that, the end product is so much better
12:33
than trying to work at odds.
12:35
- Wow, oh my gosh.
12:36
- Everything here is delicious.
12:38
This is the best one so far.
12:39
This is the Tamale House, though, too.
12:41
I think Tex-Mex cuisine is a perfect example of
12:43
just American and Mexican blended together perfectly.
12:46
- Oh yeah. - Oh my god.
12:48
That's amazing. - Oh my god.
12:50
- You have to get this if you come here.
12:51
- Oh my god. - Oh wow.
12:52
- It doesn't have to be Texan.
12:53
It doesn't have to be Mexican, it can just be food.
12:56
- Like the food itself, it's many ingredients
12:59
commingling together. - Aw, mom.
13:02
- How romantic. (laughs)
13:04
- Can I just say? (laughs)
13:09
Incredible. - How'd you like all the food?
13:12
- Just because I have good taste buds.
13:14
- Wait, the question was how did you like the food
13:16
and he answered the reason how he likes food
13:19
is because of his taste buds.
13:20
- [Eugene] It's 'cause he's really smart.
13:21
- That's a very amazingly literal answer that I adore.
13:25
(upbeat rock music)
13:30
- Ready for our first ever live podcast
13:32
at South by Southwest?
13:33
What a place to, like, test.
13:35
- I've done live shows before
13:37
but every time just before I get on stage,
13:40
I just get a little nervous.
13:41
- Wait, can you say that again?
13:43
I've done hundreds of liveshows.
13:44
- I've done hundreds of liveshows.
13:46
When I came up with the role of Ned from the Try Guys,
13:48
I said, "What sort of person is this Ned?"
13:52
(laughing) - Oh my god!
13:54
- Are you guys ready to see the Try Guys?
13:56
(audience cheering)
13:59
- Hello, everybody. - Wow!
14:01
- And welcome to the TryPod
14:03
- I'm trying to think of my biggest fail.
14:05
So I took an independent study doing puppetry.
14:08
Super big into puppets.
14:09
- Why are you guys laughing at that?
14:11
(laughing) - My friend brought me
14:12
this beautiful wizard puppet
14:15
and he said, "I would just love for you to do something
14:16
"really magical with this puppet."
14:19
- Did the puppet have a name?
14:20
- Yes.
14:21
The puppet's name became
14:23
the Vomiting, Dick-Sucking Wizard Puppet.
14:25
(Zach laughs)
14:26
And every show, he came out and he would interview someone
14:30
and all he would do is ask an innocuous question
14:33
and then if you answered,
14:34
here's the question, it was like, "Hey, Miles,
14:36
"what's your favorite color?"
14:37
- I don't know, red.
14:38
- "Red, well why don't you go suck red's dick?"
14:40
(shouting) (audience laughing)
14:43
That's all the bit was.
14:44
- Before we do go, we want to thank you
14:45
because this was the first time we've gotten to try this
14:48
in front of people. (audience cheering)
14:51
- Until next time.
14:53
- [Audience] Stay beautiful.
14:55
- Thank you guys so much!
14:57
(audience cheering and clapping)
14:58
We are on our way to the FADER party.
15:01
- Oh, yeah.
15:02
- Every year, the FADER Fort is
15:03
the hottest place at South by Southwest.
15:05
It's a long walk away,
15:06
so instead of walking, we're taking pedicabs.
15:10
Why, Ned, I do believe this is a bicycle built for two!
15:13
(yelling) Here we go!
15:15
(dramatic orchestral music)
15:16
Pedicab, oh, oh!
15:18
Hold on to my phone! - We're off-roading.
15:21
- [Zach] Pedicabs are huge in Austin.
15:23
- You've noticed how many places
15:24
that are cool bars that you could walk to.
15:26
- [Keith] But why walk--
15:27
- [Eugene] Why walk when you can pedicab?
15:28
- And I love being pedied. - Yeah.
15:31
- [Zach] Here's a banana peel.
15:34
- [Keith] Feels safe?
15:37
- Oh god.
15:39
Oh.
15:41
- Safe.
15:43
- We are one gust of wind away
15:44
from losing my new favorite hat forever.
15:48
- [Eugene] How's my hair?
15:49
- [Keith] It didn't move at all.
15:51
- Really?
15:51
- That was amazing (laughs).
15:53
- [All] To Texas!
15:56
- The one thing I know about Austin
15:57
is that it is one of the live music capitals of the country.
16:00
It seems like everything is South by Southwest right now.
16:03
It just totally takes over the city.
16:05
We are here at the FADER Fort
16:06
and guess who's-- - The coolest party
16:08
at South by Southwest. - Cardi B played here.
16:11
Drake played here. - Wow.
16:12
- And nobody's playing tonight.
16:15
I think there's a message here, you know?
16:17
Everyone has that white whale in their life,
16:19
the thing that you're trying to chase down
16:21
and then you get here and you realize.
16:23
- It was inside you all along.
16:25
- Yeah.
16:25
The stage was inside me all along.
16:29
♪ I'd like to be a little rockstar ♪
16:31
♪ Strumming songs on my guitar ♪
16:34
♪ People shouting, screaming my name ♪
16:37
♪ Play loud music again and again ♪
16:39
♪ Little rockstar ♪
16:44
- Wow, I'm a little rock and roll god.
16:46
- Hello, Cleveland!
16:48
- Yeah!
16:49
- Wah!
16:50
(upbeat rock music)
17:04
- Hey, hey, hey, hello, guys, how are you?
17:06
- Hello. - How are you?
17:08
Welcome to Austin, Texas.
17:09
This is CUCU from Ru Paul Drag Race.
17:12
And hey, y'all.
17:13
- [Eugene] Tell us about your look, Cynthia.
17:14
- Well, this is like a cowgirl, housewife of Austin, Texas
17:18
looking for trouble, you're welcome.
17:21
- I think we just found it.
17:22
- How do we look?
17:22
We got some Cavender's, like a boot over here,
17:25
a hat over here, a vest.
17:27
- Belt buckle. - Feeling us a little Texan.
17:30
- Well, guys, you tried.
17:31
(laughing) It's gonna be fine.
17:34
(camera clicking) (light music)
17:35
- [Eugene] So when you did move first to Austin?
17:36
- When I get an opportunity, for the first time,
17:39
to visit Austin, Texas, I see the diversity.
17:41
Diversity in culture, diversity even ethnicity.
17:44
We have a big Hispanic community here.
17:46
So I was fascinated for them.
17:48
Like, you know what?
17:49
I'm crazy, keep Austin weird, I'm in drag, this is for me.
17:53
Since then, it was like nine years.
17:54
And I love it so far.
17:55
- I just wonder, at what point in Austin's history,
17:59
did it start to get this weird, like, culture?
18:03
- We're trying to keep Austin weird,
18:05
when did Austin get so weird?
18:06
- [Cynthia] It started in the 1950, 1960s
18:09
when it was a lot of musicians.
18:13
- And the hippy culture. - On the way
18:14
the hippy culture from New Orleans, Oklahoma, coming here
18:18
because it was the capital of music
18:21
and capital of musicians to us all.
18:23
- Well, think about the '60s and the flower power movement.
18:26
Woodstock is a huge part of that.
18:27
It's like you have art being related to
18:29
young, liberal boomer thinking and I think
18:32
the South needed somewhere like that
18:33
and Austin just happened to be the place.
18:35
- All conservative states typically have liberal capitals
18:38
just because the capital is a place
18:40
where everyone lives on top of each other.
18:41
When you live on top of each other,
18:42
you understand one another.
18:43
And you become more open to other people's ideas.
18:45
- Guys, we're learning a lot in front of the capital.
18:47
- All right, enough smart talk.
18:49
Let's take some slutty photos.
18:50
(laughing)
18:51
(dramatic music) (camera clicking)
18:58
- [Eugene] If anyone visits Austin, where can they see you?
18:59
- My home bar is Old King's Paris
19:01
here in downtown Austin, Texas.
19:02
And you can find me on social media,
19:04
Cynthia Lee Fontaine Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
19:08
Snapchat, and sexual applications on your phone too as well.
19:11
(Zach giggles)
19:14
- Okay!
19:15
Okay. - Well, well.
19:16
(upbeat country music)
19:19
- My name is Ren Garcia.
19:20
We're at Micklethwait Craft Meats.
19:21
I am the pitmaster here.
19:23
- Tell me what you're doing right now with this brisket?
19:25
- [Ren] It's prime Angus brisket.
19:27
- Wow. - How heavy is this?
19:29
- This is probably about 10 pounds right now
19:32
and it's probably gonna render out six pounds
19:34
by the time it's done. - Wow.
19:36
- Brisket, typical Texas barbecue?
19:38
- It is the classic Texas item.
19:40
- [Ned] Why is it so iconic?
19:41
- Just because it takes so long
19:43
and it's just the hardest thing to actually do properly
19:46
and knock it out of the park.
19:48
- So you must be pretty amazing?
19:49
- I guess I am (laughs).
19:52
- So what do we have here?
19:54
This looks like a paradise of meats.
19:57
- It is a meat paradise.
19:59
You've got brisket, barbacoa, chicken, pork shoulder,
20:02
pork spare ribs, our house sausage,
20:05
and then the last meat that we have is the pulled lamb.
20:08
So that's lamb leg. - That's lamb?
20:09
- Yeah. - There ain't mutton better.
20:12
(Zach snorts)
20:13
- What's the deal with this bread?
20:14
'Cause, like, white bread is just, like,
20:16
this is so exciting, why this?
20:18
- You can just stack all your meats on top of it
20:20
so that you have a nice, little, juicy, soggy,
20:23
piece of bread at the end?
20:24
- It's a delicious napkin you could eat,
20:26
essentially. (laughing)
20:28
- Exactly. - All right, amen.
20:29
- [Ned] So what is Texas barbecue style?
20:32
- Slow-smoked until it's completely tender
20:34
so you go slow and low.
20:35
- Oh my god. - There you go.
20:36
Get it there, get it there. - Whoa.
20:37
- Get in there, get in there. - Wow.
20:39
- We don't put sauce on it.
20:42
Everything is salt and pepper.
20:43
So we just buy the best quality meat
20:44
that we can and then let that kinda speak for itself.
20:47
- [Keith] There it is, look at this.
20:48
How easy it just comes right apart.
20:50
- Oh my god. - Oh my god!
20:52
- Oh wow! - They are right
20:53
that you don't need the sauce.
20:55
I'm enjoying the sauce, which is delicious
20:57
but there's so much flavor here all on its own.
20:59
- Really strong flavor. - Right.
21:01
- [Zach] Love a good rub.
21:03
- The chicken, because it's a little tender
21:05
of a meat in general, the smoke gets so far into it,
21:07
there's so much flavor.
21:08
- Barbacoa. - Yeah, barbacoa, for sure.
21:10
- Ooh. - It goes in
21:11
almost like you're going through butter.
21:13
- Brisket and now all this pastrami flavor,
21:15
there is a huge overlap between my people and your people.
21:19
- Texans?
21:20
- Texans and Jews.
21:21
We got a lot of, I'm surprised to see this.
21:24
- Oh my god, just falls off the bone.
21:26
- Oh my god. - Yeah!
21:27
- [Eugene] There's a lot of things to be said about
21:28
the merits of not eating beef, right?
21:30
- Right.
21:31
- I always wondered personally
21:32
why did I never think beef could ever be out of my life
21:35
and I return to this Texan brisket.
21:37
- Yeah. - So I am cutting out
21:39
beef from my diet.
21:40
But eating this, I'm like, oh,
21:42
if I had this accessible to me,
21:44
that decision would be way harder.
21:46
- And you make your own sides here as well?
21:47
- All our own sides.
21:48
We make all our own bread, we make all our pickles.
21:50
Your classic Texas sides are gonna be
21:52
potato salad and coleslaw and beans.
21:55
- These beans. - They're perfect.
21:57
- Holy shit, they're-- - That gave me.
21:58
- It's chili. - It's chili.
21:59
- Oh my god. - This is basically chili.
22:01
- But here, we're kinda known for having
22:03
a different variety of sides.
22:04
Our number one top seller is our jalapeno cheese grits
22:07
and our lemon poppy seed coleslaw,
22:09
which is a vegan item. - You can tell you're
22:11
in Austin when you're at a barbecue place
22:13
that has vegan options.
22:14
That's pretty amazing. - Yeah.
22:16
And we do Satan for the vegans.
22:18
- Hail Satan.
22:19
(laughs) - Hail Satan.
22:20
(upbeat rock music)
22:32
- We changed and we're gonna have a good time tonight
22:34
and check out some of the most iconic bars
22:36
on Dirty Sixth Street.
22:38
- [Ned] Dirty Sixth Street.
22:39
Kinda reminds me of New Orleans.
22:41
Hey!
22:42
- [Eugene] So what's cool about Austin nightlife?
22:44
- Cheap drinks.
22:45
You can bar hop.
22:46
- This is always closed off every weekend, right?
22:48
- Yes. - Yeah.
22:49
- Thursday through Sunday.
22:51
- So we're gonna go get fucked up, yeah?
22:53
(yells)
22:55
There's a reason why Austin is one of the most
22:57
moved-to cities in the United States.
22:59
Just so fucking cool.
23:01
There's a slide in the bar.
23:03
- You didn't tell me that Austin had slides!
23:05
(yells)
23:08
This city's awesome!
23:10
(upbeat music)
23:17
- Next bar!
23:18
- What are flaming Dr. Pepper's?
23:19
- Well, it's a medley of alcoholic drinks
23:23
with dragon's breath. (dramatic music)
23:36
- Yeah! (cheering)
23:39
- Yeah! - Yeah!
23:41
(glasses clinking) - What?!
23:43
(cheering)
23:44
(upbeat music) - Rooftop bars
23:45
are a big thing here in Austin, right?
23:46
- [Woman] There's a ton of rooftop bars.
23:48
- Yeah. - Almost every bar has one.
23:50
- [Eugene] Did you like riding the horse?
23:51
- [Keith] I loved the horse.
23:58
- Toy stores on toy stores.
23:59
Who cares about the bars?
24:01
Toys!
24:03
I am the Rick Moranis of my generation.
24:05
Here with Audrey too.
24:11
That was the first try!
24:13
Something in the air in Austin.
24:14
It makes you a better person.
24:16
- Why aren't we drinking?
24:19
Next bar!
24:20
- We partied too hard. (upbeat rock music)
24:22
Way too hard.
24:24
You guys want to rob a bank?
24:25
I think I kept flipping the camera off.
24:27
(yells)
24:32
- I'm just walking like I know where I'm going.
24:35
- Isn't Austin night life amazing?
24:37
- Austin's so fun!
24:38
- [Eugene] There's so many bars, we just went to five.
24:40
- There's like 50 bars. - Yeah.
24:42
I think Austin bars, in general,
24:43
are just better than other bars.
24:46
They're like universally good.
24:48
(cheers) - Suck it other bars!
24:50
(yells)
24:51
- No, no, no, no, don't embarrass me in my hometown.
24:54
Oh my god. - You embarrassed yourself.
24:56
- You gave yourself a hard time.
24:58
(yells)
24:59
(dramatic music)
25:00
- They say keep Austin weird but by the end of this trip,
25:04
I got a little weird.
25:05
Come on, come on!
25:08
Yes! - So bad!
25:09
I dare you! - Oh!
25:10
- Austin was great.
25:11
If I'm being honest, I always kinda thought
25:13
the cowboy look was a little goofy.
25:16
I look amazing in it (giggles).
25:18
- Keep Austin weird, which means they just
25:20
really embrace all the things that make that city different.
25:23
- What do you think is the best thing about Austin?
25:25
Why is it such a great city?
25:27
- [Cynthia] Beside the job opportunities or
25:29
how gorgeous is the city,
25:30
the people made Austin different
25:32
and beautiful and friendly.
25:34
And I like that.
25:35
- You're such a wise queen.
25:37
- I try not to be.
25:38
(laughing)
25:40
- I think everyone should visit Austin.
25:41
It's a great city.
25:42
But I think, more importantly,
25:43
everyone should just try to travel.
25:44
It's so hard to encapsulate any place
25:47
in just this short amount,
25:48
but I think we scratched the surface
25:50
in a way that really pays homage
25:52
to how weird and diverse and funky my city is.
25:55
So, I guess this means Eugene's got
25:58
the coolest hometown, huh?
26:01
- Uh. - Well.
26:02
- We'll think about that.
26:03
To be continued.
26:05
(Eugene laughs)
26:06
- It's better than Carthage.
26:08
- Hey, fellow Texans, I hope you loved
26:09
our hometown exploration of Austin.
