Funny Moments and Memorable Exchanges

• [00:01:14–00:03:10] “Pulling the public” confusion — Sawyer says he’s going to “poll the public,” and Trevin mishears it as “pull the public,” leading to a gross-out bit at 6:30 in the morning. Sawyer doubles down: *”I’m gonna make the public grab the chain-link fence.”*
• [00:02:37–00:04:15] The first pitch bit — Sawyer jokes that the movie can’t start until Trevin hits the projector with his first pitch. Trevin defends himself by claiming to be a “professional” softball pitcher, which Sawyer immediately deflates: *”That’s underhand, dog.”* They debate whether softball and baseball are the same, with Sawyer landing: *”The only thing that is the same between them is the stitching pattern on the ball and the fact that a softball is not soft in the slightest.”*
• [00:05:30–00:08:35] The bathroom design spiral — What starts as a news item about an AI-redesigned restroom devolves into Sawyer advocating for trough urinals, Trevin pitching a blank tile room with a sloped floor draining to a hole in the center, a third voice reacting with horror, and a reference to a bar in San Marcos called Zellix where you *”stand on grate, pee on wall.”* Sawyer wraps it up: *”Trevin’s down with segregation”* after Trevin says he prefers a “level playing field.”
• [00:10:51–00:11:04] Trevin’s address reveal — Trevin refuses to say which H-E-B he goes to so as not to reveal where he lives. Sawyer immediately announces: *”It’s the Mueller location. Trevin’s address is 1615 Sycamore Drive, Austin, Texas. Right off the Y.”*

Summary

This portion of *Trevin & Sawyer in the Morning* opens with an ad for Meanwhile Brewing Company before jumping into a loose, energetic pre-show-feeling segment full of banter and quick topic pivots. The hosts touch on National Burger Day and tease a listener poll tied to what sounds like a Gorilla’s ticket giveaway, then pivot to promoting the station’s charity event that evening — an outdoor screening of *Dazed and Confused* at Beverly Sheffield Park to benefit the Northwest Pony League. Trevin’s claim that his slow-pitch softball background qualifies him to throw a first pitch at the event kicks off one of the segment’s funniest exchanges, with Sawyer gleefully poking holes in the logic and the two eventually landing on a genuine appreciation for UT Longhorns softball pitcher Tegan Kavan’s durability compared to MLB starters.

The sports update covers the Astros bouncing back against the Rangers behind Yordan Alvarez’s two home runs, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Soresby having his NCAA reinstatement denied over gambling violations, and a brief mention of the Longhorns baseball team facing Holy Cross on Friday. A story about someone using AI to redesign men’s restrooms sends the show into an extended, increasingly unhinged bit about bathroom layouts, troughs, sloped floors, and a San Marcos bar called Zellix — one of the more memorable tangents in this portion, ending with Sawyer accusing Trevin of being “down with segregation” for preferring privacy between urinals.

The back half of this excerpt moves into headlines, with Trevin covering the exciting news that Texas is acquiring nearly 50,000 acres west of San Antonio to create Silver Lake State Park along the Nueces River. The segment closes with Trevin raising alarm about his neighborhood H-E-B switching to digital price tags and potential dynamic pricing — a topic that appears to be just getting started when the transcript cuts off. Throughout, the chemistry between the two hosts is easy and quick, with Sawyer providing sharp comic disruptions to Trevin’s more straight-faced setups.

Summary

This portion of the show opens mid-rant, with one host — almost certainly Sawyer — fired up about electronic dynamic pricing and the lack of visible price tags at grocery stores. He calls out HEB specifically, along with Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Whole Foods, citing a statistic that 67% of people want dynamic pricing banned. The bit escalates into an absurdist joke about stealing unpriced items on the grounds that no monetary value means no theft charge, which Trevin half-heartedly validates before poking holes in the logic. It’s a solid example of the show’s rhythm: one host going off, the other playing a drier, more skeptical straight man.

The middle section moves through a rapid series of topics. The SEC-leaving-the-NCAA rumor gets a spirited take, with Sawyer unsympathetic to the SEC’s complaints given their own expansion choices, while also conceding it might actually make for better entertainment. National Hamburger Day triggers an extended and genuinely funny takedown of the “Burger Beast” chain burger rankings, with the hosts bonding over contempt for Buffalo Wild Wings and Denny’s as burger destinations while grudgingly praising Chili’s. This bleeds into a listener call-in segment where the hosts ask for Austin burger recommendations, dangling Gorillaz tickets as a prize — revealing that both hosts are attending the show that night and want to plan a post-show meal.

The final stretch covers two headlines. The first — Texas’s new autonomous vehicle licensing law taking effect that day — gives Sawyer a platform to riff on Waymos taking DMV tests and to declare the show the most “anti-robot, anti-AI program in Austin.” The second headline, about AI eroding workplace social life, becomes a nostalgic tangent about the station’s old Friday bar nights and a mysterious former colleague named Susan who smoked Camel Lights. Sawyer announces he’s personally reviving the office happy hour tradition. The segment closes with a quick Astros-Rangers update: Houston won behind two Yordan Alvarez home runs, and the hosts’ advice to Rangers pitching is simple — just walk him.

3-Paragraph Summary

The final portion of the May 28 show opened with a quick sports roundup, noting Yordan Alvarez’s 20 home runs, the San Antonio Spurs’ must-win Game 6 at home, and a playful bit about Texas Longhorns baseball coach Jim Schlossnagel supposedly breaking the news exclusively to Trevin and Sawyer — before they acknowledged he had actually told 1300 AM first — that Luke Harrison would start against Holy Cross in the regional on Friday. From there, the guys launched into an extended and increasingly absurd riff on Hard Fresca being declared the “drink of the summer,” taking issue with the “hard” branding trend and pitching an imaginary Fresca-Cialis crossover product they dubbed “Fresalis,” delivering one of the segment’s best lines: “two birds, one rock hard stone.”

The news block covered a developing FIFA World Cup ticketing scandal, with the New York and New Jersey attorneys general launching a probe into MetLife Stadium ticketing practices after fans reported rising prices and altered seating charts following the sale of millions of tickets. The guys noted that World Cup action is coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth area and kicks off June 11. After the headlines, they ran through a solid slate of Austin events for Thursday night and the weekend, highlighted by their own appearance at Beverly S. Sheffield Park for a free outdoor screening of *Dazed and Confused* benefiting the Northwest Pony League, as well as the Godsmack/Stone Temple Pilots/Dorothy rock show at the Moody Center and local favorite Emily Wolfe opening at the Moody Amp.

The show closed on a comedic but genuinely weary note, with Trevin expressing deep dissatisfaction with the entire week — blaming AI, digital price tags, and the general state of existence — while Sawyer tried gamely to cheer him up with reminders of good weather, free movies, and National Burger Day. The wrap-up was loose and funny, with Trevin half-threatening not to show up Friday, a final plug for Sawyer’s Instagram, and Sawyer’s parting shot that fans could also find him “on a wanted poster.” No formal previews for upcoming shows were given.
