This one comes with a bonus. Josh brought along his songwriting partner and recording engineer, John Pedigo. So, yes, we talked about Josh's new album, Stuff, but we ventured far afield to explore the tattoos on Josh's "trash leg," BlueChew commercials, the official Tex-Mex dish of Dallas, and lesbians gentrifying Oak Cliff. Buckle up and prepare yourself for some snort-laughing.

In this movie-intensive episode, D Magazine contributing editor and noted cinephile Eric Celeste joins Tim Rogers at the Old Monk to hear Giovannie's stories about James Gunn, Richard Dreyfuss, and the Old 97's; learn what a "honeywagon" is; and discuss whether her parents should have let her play outside when she was little.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, there's something called a year's mind. It's a requiem Mass held on the one-year anniversary of someone's death. That's exactly what we did for Zac and those who loved him. Except the Mass was held at a bar called the Old Monk. And we recorded a podcast during the Mass. We boldly declare that it's the funniest year's mind you'll ever listen to. Stick around till the end, when Zac's son, Isaac, drops in and delivers one of the sickest burns you'll ever hear.

Here are the links to all the Zac stories we talk about. And remember: print makes the podcast possible. Consider subscribing to D Magazine.

Sarah was the U.S. Attorney for the North District of Texas before Barack Obama appointed her head of ICE in 2014. She talks with Tim about why the agency shouldn't be abolished, despite President Trump's current campaign to use it as a tool of terror; about why Dallas hasn't yet seen the sorts of raids that have gone down in other large cities; about why the agency will never deport the number of people the president claims it will; and about why her family was ultimately wrong when they encouraged her to become the first Latina to lead ICE.

It's a themed episode! Kathy tells us about a controversy she experienced while judging cakes for the State Fair of Texas. Brian covers the same ground, except with a halal barbecue contest. And then Tim takes us to the Colonial for some golf talk that involves way more fashion choices than it does golf.

Our own Mike Piellucci talks about one of the world's best bull riders, John Crimber, who lives with a bunch of other badass Brazilian bull riders in or near Decatur, Texas. Kathy Wise reveals her secret nicknames and the difference between her marriage and that of Tim Rogers. Also: Cooper Flagg! Kathy gets a bit quiet during this portion of the podcast, as Tim and The Looch go deep on the Mavs' No. 1 overall pick. Stay tuned for maybe the dumbest question Tim has ever posed: "Do you believe in spaceships?"

We discuss meat and the proper smoking thereof. Plus what is "motorcycle paint" and who in the D Magazine office is most likely to assassinate whom? Oh! Also, we reveal a secret Thai menu at a restaurant in Allen. But that's all.

D Magazine's dining critic, Brian Reinhart, joins Tim and Kathy to talk about the Dallas dining scene, the origin of Texas toast, how the Rice University mascot got its name, the best pancakes in town, and whether Kathy is insane for suggesting that diners should eat salad with their hands.

If you listened to the previous episode of EarBurner (and you should), you know that Bobby Abtahi was sitting at the table at the Old Monk as Matt and Tim interviewed Mike Rawlings. When they finished the episode with the former mayor, Abtahi, a former president of the Dallas Park Board, having consumed a statistically significant number of beers, started talking about how the city got into the current mess over the management of Fair Park—at which point Tim and Matt plugged the mics back in and recorded this episode. Abtahi was on the Park Board back in 2018, when it was decided that a nonprofit (Fair Park First) would oversee a new for-profit operator of Fair Park (Spectra, which eventually became the Oak View Group), which operator is now nearly $6 million in the red and asking for a handout.

You know what? It's all very byzantine and boring, and we did a poor job of setting up on the podcast what's at stake and what happened. You should probably just skip this episode.

On your November ballot, there will appear 18 proposed amendments to the Dallas city charter, which is quite something. Three of those props—S, T, and U—if they were to pass, would throw the city into chaos. The 59th mayor of Dallas joined Matt and Tim at the Old Monk to talk about why that's the case. While Rawlings (aka His Worship) refused to speculate on the motives of the people behind these props, Tim was not so reserved. (Also, with the passing of Zac, this episode served as a cohosting tryout for Matt. Give us a review, and let us know how he performed.)
