A Return to the Mic and a Texas Misadventure

After a brief hiatus, the guys are back to wrap up Season 2. The episode begins with a candid acknowledgment of their break, which was due to the "chaos of life" and a "felon on the run"—a joke about Goat's recent leg injury. They assure listeners they're back in the groove and ready to pick up right where they left off.

The conversation quickly turns to a recent trip to Texas. The trip, originally for a florist convention, became a comedy of errors from the start. It began at the airport, where a cafe denied a breakfast order, and a fellow traveler refused to move from his seat, displaying what Glaze called "sheer fucking audacity."

Upon arriving in Texas, the hosts' troubles continued. Glaze discovers his hotel, despite being near the airport, is a 20-minute drive from the conference. This led him to strike a deal with the hotel's airport shuttle drivers, bribing them with a meal to get rides. He also notes that Texans were not particularly welcoming to out-of-towners.

The most notable incident of the trip occurred when Glaze's credit card company alerted him to a fraudulent charge of over $200,000, followed by another for $10,000. To top it off, his return flight involved a comical series of seven gate changes at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport.

Surprise Upgrades and a Shed of Shame

On the flight home, however, his luck turns. He gets a surprise upgrade to first class, where he's treated to hot towels, a meal, and a very generous supply of rum and Cokes from a flight attendant. He even gets to take some of the small bottles with him.

The episode ends with a humorous discussion of their home lives. Goat's yard has been the location of a teenage murder mystery party, complete with chalk outlines and props. He notes that his liquor had to be hidden, and that his newly installed mini-split AC unit was no match for the South Carolina heat. The conversation concludes with a discussion about how they're both slowly getting back on their feet.
