because Portnoy from Barstool went there and gave it a
review and just gave him this huge review. It was
(01:42):

style p Yeah. Yeah, and they're certainly the ones that
are making the biggest name for themselves and so man,
it is just so wildly popular. People love it. I'm
so excited. This will be my first time to go.
But we're doing our show from the tomorrow from three

But you also get a piece of history by being there.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It's just kind of cool to know that you were
there on the day that's something big like that happened. Yeah,
and it will be a big deal. We're very excited.
We know the folks behind it, and we know them.
It's going to be cool. Now, let me ask you,
have you ever even been to downtown Garland? That's a
good question. So we grew up in Richardson. Richardson and Garland,
(02:58):
huge rivalry. Jupiter Road divides us and that's why it
might as well be a massive wall there. It was
like the Hatfield and the McCoy, except it was the
Richardson in the Garlands. So where is it in Garland? Okay,
I'm going to pull up the cross section right now
so everybody knows you do you got kt? Do you
know the cross streets of downtown Garland off the top
(03:18):
of your.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Off the top of my head?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay? Is it by Josie Records where we were? No,
it's a it's not that far from it, but okay,
So technically it is main street in Garland and Fifth
Avenue is where Fortunate signs. Yeah right, Maine Oak. Yeah,
and so I'm trying. I'll give you like, Okay, think
about my oldhood. If you took Walnut Walnut Street all
(03:44):
the way from Richland Junior College and just started heading east,
you would eventually get to one block away from downtown Garland, Okay, okay,
and so it's it would be south of Walnut, closer
to LBJ. Okay, what's over there that I would have
gone to Intrinsic Brewing And they've got pretty good barbecue
over there too. Have you been the Fortunate Son yet?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Not yet. I'm assuming that was after I moved away
from there. But that downtown area is awesome, and that
was before they did all the upgrades.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, it's cool, like you'll be really impressed. And they
renovated the whole area. They got a badass mayor. Right,
he does bits and stuff. I think he does much
fun bit.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
His name is John okay, John Mayer, Yes, and he
is a fantastic guitar player.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
There's an arcade over there walking distance from Fortunate Son on.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The same side of the block. Just what do you
mean like a barcade, yeah thing, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
They have like PS five and Xbox up at the
bar that you're sitting at like a cheer situation, so
huge TV. It's really cool play.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Games and you're gonna be You're gonna be blown away
by Fortunate Son. It's so it's got a giant outdoor
area and a giant inside area. Like they're on the
end of like they're on the corner. They're on the
southeast corner of downtown Garland, the town Square, and they
have a big giant you know, outdoor area, indoor area
and right next door to them. I met these people
(05:10):
last time I went. It's called State and Maine Merchant
and it's just a cool little store. Did you go.
It's just a cool little store and it's like, I
guess what you would consider it a convenience store, but
it's they just carry all sorts of like unique off brands.
They actually carry Rollertown beer Works are brewery in their
(05:31):
store there you could get Rollertown to I've heard of that,
right right. Yeah, they're really cool people, and we got
to do this for TABC rules. You can also pick
it up at AGB and Tom Thumb. But anyways, they're
right next door to Fortunate Son and they're really nice people.
And so when you go tomorrow, you know, I would
recommend everybody that's going to join us out there bounce
around the It's just an old downtown square, like you
(05:52):
can get to everything in five minutes. It's super cool.
But dude, go see those nice people at you know,
the convenience store right next Just stick your head in

cool that we get to go out to Garland tomorrow.
And if you're anywhere in the area, we would love
to have you come join us again. We'll do a

live broadcast from Fortunate Son from three to six. I'm
sure we'll eat a lot of pizza, we'll drink a
lot of beer, and we will be celebrating this big
announcement from USL Dallas and man, that's just a big deal.

of history. I'm fired up. And if you want to

was at the theater across the town. It's right there.
It's right next door to Intrinsic Brewing. The old time
movie theater there in downtown Garland is right there, right
off the square. Did you end up getting any Oscar
buzz for that? I did, okay because it was forget
(06:56):

saw it and liked it was buzzed. Yeah, And I
think there's a big the USL teams having a big
after party at Intrinsic Brute.
