My old friend Tim has a Tesla now (bitcoin!) and we talk about his success, his plans to buy a house in Austin, Elon Musk, socialism, capitalism, the singularity, minimum wage, and going Keto. It's a normal episode plus a kind of weird political debate episode!

Mike and I went out and talked to some Austinites about the ice storm and power outages. We talked to a nurse, people waiting at IHOP, people waiting at HEB, and we discuss staying for almost a week in an apartment with a new friend!

(There was an audio issue about 40 mins into the podcast, sorry about that)

I take a list of 20 random questions and ask them to drunk people in Austin. Some of the answers were funny, some were sad, some were profound. 

The Charles Vergos Rendezvous is Memphis's most popular BBQ rib joint, and Charlie was raised amongst the sauces. We talk about bussing tables in smoking sections, Yellow Fever, Justin Timberlake, BBQ nachos, shipping ribs, and the assassination of MLK.
