Brace and Liz—joined by producer Young Chomsky and Truanon—kick off Episode 285 with chaotic Austin tales: sneaking out of venues like Chaos in Tajos in an emo security shirt, hotel wellness checks guessing "thruple fights," and leaving polyamorous welcome notes. They pivot to Seth Harp’s name, Warriors’ game scores, and the Hard Rock Hotel’s player suite, where a Rolling Stone presence hints at deep-cut Stones lore—likely post-1985 or Licky Wolf’s influence—before diving into unfiltered, absurdist storytelling that blurs music, sports, and surreal hospitality.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are here in the live music capital of the world.
What's that?
That's just a ringtone.
That's a ringtone, but you know what?
It's a valid for me.
Yeah, War Crime is playing the Austin airport.
War Crime.
So I have played here in freaking Austin, Texas before.
Were you at South by?
You're going to South by, bro?
No.
I played at Chaos in Tajos.
It was.
It was South.
And I did poppers on stage.
And actually, Young Chomsky heard this story earlier, but I did make the misfortune of perhaps talking shit to a group of gentlemen that were not amenable to it.
And I had to be emo's, the venue put me in an emo's security shirt and walked, like, pretended like I worked there so I could walk out exit without being noticed.
They costumed you?
They costumed me.
Codename 47.
Yeah, and I, and I, Liz, I, um, I hit, I hid under a bridge like a bat.
I had to go hide under a bridge.
That's like the worst kind of Batman.
Anyways, we are back here in Austin.
Hi, my name is Brace.
Sorry, that caught me off guard because it was so fast.
Hi, my name is Brace.
I'm Liz.
Wait, I'm going to talk really quiet and slow as a, no, I'm Liz.
We are joined by producer Young Chomsky.
This is Truanon.
Hello.
Hello.
And if you are staying in the hotel room next to me, let me tell you this.
First of all, are you okay?
Well, let's do a wellness check.
I'll be honest, the first hour of crying, that was the thought in my head.
Are you okay?
Crying, screaming, really.
Screaming, crying, interesting.
Second hour, I was like, you're not okay.
Or a couple voices.
One voice.
There was other murmurs.
It sounded like there was multiple people in the hotel room.
And at first, I thought it was a couple fight.
Sure.
And then later, it might be a group of women because there are many bachelorettes in the hotel.
Thruple fight.
Could be a thruple fight.
Yeah.
And of course, I check in.
I always ask at the desk whenever I check into a hotel, are there any polycouples here?
Sure.
Are there any polycouples?
And I asked for a list.
And are they in the adjoining room?
Are they in the adjoining room?
Because you know how hotel rooms are connected often, right?
Yeah.
I'll just unlock my side.
Yeah.
Slip a note under the door.
Yeah.
And said, I'm freaky.
Neighbors.
You're welcome here.
I always do that.
I always just write a note that said, I'm freaky.
And then B and put it under the door of every hotel.
Notes.
Door of the floor.
You're just going down.
I'm freaking.
You're just saying hello to everyone you meet.
It's crazy.
The calling card is: I'm freaky.
I'm freaky.
It's crazy that the hotel for many is an erotic zone because for me, no such thing.
It's a zone to meet the people, the group of people you'll spend the rest of your life with.
And sometimes that's a through poll.
And speaking of through pools, we have a guest today.
Yes.
We actually have a little chill laid-back episode because we're on the road.
Yeah, our old friend Seth Harp is here or was here.
And you know what?
That's crazy because he's from Austin and his last name, fucking musical instrument.
I'm Freaky Intro00:01:21
Damn.
Yeah.
Actually, let me peep that score real quick.
Y'all, don't look at me.
I hope you got some kind of a cold intro planned.
I got nothing.
No, no, we're just rolling.
I'll have an intro.
Who needs an intro?
This is the intro.
We're introducing it right now.
Liz is checking the score for the Warriors game.
No, what?
The Warriors game starts later.
This is Philly Net.
So you're just, you're.
Why do you care about that?
First of all, I care about all games.
Okay, well, I don't play games famously.
Oh, yeah.
They're way up.
They're up.
Oh, yeah.
Is that good or bad?
It just is what it is.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
Liz, I'm going to stop being rude and start being real.
We are in the player's suite at the Hard Rock Hotel here in Austin, Texas.
Live music capital of the world.
And it would not be a root and toot and rock and roll good time if we didn't have a guy from Rolling Stone here.
Now, I actually haven't read anything this guy has written, but I presume it's mostly stuff about whatever the band Licky Wolf is and perhaps deep cut.
