Summary

The show opens with casual banter between Trevin and Sawyer about the brutal Austin heat, sparked by the studio’s AC being broken the day before. Trevin, a proud native Texan, pokes fun at Sawyer for being soft about the weather, calling him a “California tea sipper,” while Sawyer fires back that he will fight Trevin only indoors where the heat can’t weaken him. The two preview the day’s show, teasing Muse and Weezer ticket giveaways and a mysterious in-studio guest arriving at 8 o’clock — someone who works at the station — before rolling into sports coverage highlighting the UT Longhorns softball team’s dominant performance against Tennessee, with pitcher Teagan Kavon allowing just one run in 22 innings and the Horns heading to the national championship against Texas Tech.

The middle section of the show covers a mix of national and local topics tied together with humor. In honor of National Leave the Office Early Day, Trevin and Sawyer open the phones for listeners to share fake or unusual excuses they’ve used to get out of work, leading to a funny caller who disclosed her perpetual tardiness to her new boss upfront during the interview — and made it work. The hosts also break down a World Cup cost survey, with Dallas coming in around $1,200 for two nights and a ticket, and riff on the absurdly high prices for Spurs vs. Knicks NBA Finals tickets, which led them to abandon a planned on-air giveaway. A discussion of Austin’s new Waterline skyscraper — the tallest in Texas — includes the hosts gleefully revisiting a recent water stain incident on the building’s exterior, which they dub “the skid mark on 6th.”

The segment wraps with a second sports block covering the NFL’s June 1 trade window, highlighting two blockbuster moves: AJ Brown going from the Eagles to the Patriots, reuniting him with coach Mike Vrabel, and Myles Garrett heading from the Browns to the Rams in exchange for Jared Verse and a first-round pick. Trevin cheekily predicts the Rams will lose to the Texans in the Super Bowl. The show’s in-studio guest — a woman who works at the station — arrives just as the transcript ends, reacting with mild offense to being described as “not really a guest.”

The lawsuit was triggered by the event advertising gender-neutral bathrooms. Pride Denton said they had already made changes to comply with SB8 (the bathroom bill) before the lawsuit was filed.

Summary

This portion of the show opens with the playful, slightly chaotic introduction of Emily, the station’s digital content manager, who has apparently been invited on the show for months but is finally making her appearance. The banter between Emily and the hosts — particularly Trevin — is quick and self-aware, with jokes about workplace dynamics, bullying, and Emily’s power to “dox” them keeping things lively. She quickly establishes herself as a confident and funny presence, and the hosts make clear she’ll be contributing content for the rest of the show.

The news segment covers a notable Texas story: the city of Denton being sued to block a Pride Denton-organized swim event over gender-neutral bathroom advertising. All three hosts are in clear agreement that the lawsuit is overreach, with Emily getting the best line by calling the pool itself “the ultimate gender-neutral bathroom.” The segment wraps with Trevin offering a “happy pride” sign-off. Sports coverage follows, highlighting the UT Longhorns women’s softball team’s return to the College World Series final (and Hannah Wells’ ladybug-eating superstition), plus the start of the Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas.

The middle stretch of this portion is dominated by a lively discussion of two buzzy horror films — *The Backrooms* and *Obsession* — both directed by young YouTube-to-Hollywood filmmakers. Emily, who has seen *The Backrooms*, leads a Rotten Tomatoes guessing game and the hosts debate the films’ merits and the authenticity of the young directors. The segment closes with Emily running a social media quiz, testing the hosts’ digital literacy with questions about Facebook Stories, Meta ad boosting, and what’s replacing hashtags — a fun bit that also serves as a gentle nudge from the station’s digital team to get the hosts more engaged online.

3-Paragraph Summary

The final portion of the June 2 episode opened with the tail end of a social media trivia quiz between Trevin and Sawyer, refereed by guest Emily. The segment featured good-natured bickering over scoring and partial credit, with Trevin correctly naming “Instants” (Instagram’s BeReal-style feature) and Emily revealing that “Forum” — Facebook’s new Reddit-style platform — was the other answer. The hosts also discussed an Austin news story about EV home-charging incentives, noting that despite Austin being a top-three city for EV ownership, local drivers receive only about $25 per year compared to a national average of $300 and up to $1,500 in some Northeast markets. The segment included some gentle ribbing about Texas’s power grid reliability, with Sawyer defensively noting it hasn’t gone down in a couple of years.

The show’s guest, Emily (Instagram: @EarthToast), took center stage late in the segment to announce auditions for her theater project. Her artist collective, the Star Bandits, held a playwriting competition and selected five short plays to be performed at Dougherty Arts Center, where they’ve previously sold out. Emily is directing one of the five plays and is holding a casting call this Saturday at 311 West 7th Street, open to actors of any age. She described looking specifically for “psychotic women” characters and encouraged interested listeners to DM her on Instagram. The conversation led to a tangent about Sawyer’s high school theater days doing competitive improv (comedy sports), with a funny aside about a teacher who tolerated Sawyer only on the condition that they never actually interact.

The show closed out with social media encouragement from Emily, who advised the hosts to keep posting consistently and not overthink the algorithm. Trevin hinted at a future cassette tape post, Sawyer pitched a cosplay segment for a future episode, and the hosts plugged their social handles and sign-off. Sawyer reminded listeners he’s performing stand-up that night at The Creek and the Cave at 8 p.m. with hosts Sean Gardini, Nate Marshall, and LaMare Lee. The episode ended on a light, energetic note with the hosts confirming they’d be back Wednesday and every day after that.
