Funny Moments, Bits, or Memorable Exchanges
- [00:01:20] Sawyer’s line “We work in a nutsack now” to describe the broken AC studio conditions got an immediate reaction and set the tone for the segment.
- [00:03:01] A third voice (possibly a producer) chimes in: *”I didn’t come here to be a baker. I came here to be a music maker. And I’m real sick and tired of sitting in stew”* — a well-timed rant that got a laugh.
- [00:08:39] After the Japan bear story, Sawyer quips: *”So a bear’s in hot weather and he’s allowed to maul people at work, but I get upset because our AC doesn’t work and I gotta go talk to HR.”*
- [00:09:32] Trevin sets up the Second Amendment punchline — *”What they don’t have in Japan is the Second Amendment, which is?”* — and Sawyer initially says “the right to human arms” before correcting to “bear arms,” landing the joke cleanly.
- [00:06:44] Sawyer reveals he carries loose ibuprofen in a Ziploc bag labeled “Tylenol” in Sharpie when he travels. Trevin’s deadpan response — *”That’s how you know. That’s how you get someone from the trailer park to come on out”* — followed by Sawyer insisting it’s totally innocent.
- [00:01:46] Trevin jokes about One Direction after Sawyer mentions being “miffed,” and the two attempt to name all the members; a producer (SPEAKER_03) saves the bit by correctly naming Zayn.
- [00:10:09] Sawyer jokes that his path to local celebrity is being on *”a local wanted poster for assaulting the Nolan Ryan Air Company”* — a riff on the building’s broken AC and Nolan Ryan’s famous fastball.
- [00:11:40] Trevin’s observation about McConaughey’s day: *”Where you can get a sandwich for almost $5 earlier in the day to where you really need to be there for the happy hour — the smallest piece of fish for $500″* — a sharp dig at Uchi’s price point.
—
Guests or Phone Callers
- A call-in segment appears to have been set up, with Trevin giving the phone number [00:07:28] — 512-835-1015 — and asking listeners: *”What’s the weirdest thing you’ve needed to pack on a trip?”* However, no callers had come through by the end of this portion of the transcript.

Ticket Giveaways or Contests
- [00:07:54] Muse tickets — Sawyer briefly mentions having Muse tickets to give away but the formal giveaway had not yet begun in this portion. He humorously offers them as a bribe to any listener willing to bring a portable AC unit to the studio at 8309 North 35.

Summary
This portion of *Trevin & Sawyer in the Morning* opens in chaos — the studio’s air conditioning has broken down for the second time that week, and both hosts are immediately and loudly miserable about it. The heat becomes a throughline for the entire segment, with Sawyer’s “we work in a nutsack now” becoming an early highlight, and the bit escalating into jokes about saunas, bears, and bribing listeners with Muse tickets in exchange for a portable AC unit. The atmosphere is sweaty, irritable, and very funny, with a producer getting in a memorable cameo rant about not being paid to be a baker.
On the sports front, Sawyer recaps a high-scoring Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, with the Vegas Golden Knights topping the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 in what he describes as a barnburner. He also riffs on a broadcast error in Indianapolis that left viewers watching the game without any commentary for the first 90 seconds — and argues the in-arena audio was actually better. The NBA Finals also get a quick mention, with Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks set for that night, earning a genuine “Go Spurs Go” from Sawyer.
The headline segment leans heavily comedic, with a Japan bear attack story becoming a springboard for jokes about climate change, workplace grievances, and the Second Amendment — landing on the “bear arms” punchline that Trevin had been building toward. The segment wraps with a fun discussion of Matthew McConaughey’s ideal Austin day as described in the Austin American-Statesman, covering e-bikes, the John Prine mural at Thundercloud Subs, a skeptically received Alamo Drafthouse stop, a pricey dinner at Uchi, and dessert at the beloved Sandy’s Hamburgers. Trevin and Sawyer land squarely on the contrast between McConaughey’s budget and everyman tastes as the segment’s final joke.

Summary
This portion of the show opened with a sports double-header from Sawyer: the “bad news” being Steph Curry’s controversial $400 million deal with Li Ning — a Chinese company banned in the U.S. for alleged forced labor — and the “good news” being Caleb Williams landing the Madden 27 cover, complete with his painted fingernails on the deluxe edition. Both stories generated quick back-and-forth reactions, with the hosts keeping it light while not shying away from the ethical dimension of the Curry deal.
The middle stretch was dominated by a lively and humorous debate over a “modern picnic trends” list that declared olives, hummus, focaccia, and charcuterie to be “in” while relegating cocktail weenies, potato salad, and cheap chips to the trash. Sawyer was indignant, calling it the “hoidiest, toidiest picnic list” he’d ever seen and mourning the loss of the great American picnic. The segment turned into a listener call-in contest, with Weezer tickets on the line for whoever could build a better picnic. This flowed into a reading of Uber’s strangest lost and found items — including a human index finger, pelvis implants, and two-toothed dentures — with Sawyer sharing his own story of losing his phone in a Chicago Uber and getting shaken down for $50 to get it back.
The segment closed with two more stories: Patagonia’s lawsuit against drag queen/climate activist Wynne Wiley, who performs as “Pattygonia,” seeking just $1 in damages but potentially burdening her with major legal costs — a move the hosts agreed was a PR disaster for the outdoor brand, especially during Pride Month. The Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs were then previewed, with Sawyer picking the Spurs in six over the Knicks, before the show drifted into a playful tangent about Trevin’s “resting chimp face” and his somewhat inconsistent tooth-brushing habits.

3-Paragraph Summary
The final stretch of the June 3rd edition of *Trevin & Sawyer In The Morning* opened with a playful detour into oral hygiene, sparked by a discussion of Listerine’s newly tiered product line. Trevin mocked the rebranding — particularly the idea of calling regular Listerine “intense” — with increasingly absurd comparisons involving shark cages, tigers, and Russian roulette. The bit wrapped with a genuine dentist tip about cinnamon being the best natural combatant against bad breath, which led to a *Talladega Nights* reference and a Big Red shoutout.
Trevin then delivered the “Morning X Headlines,” covering two news items. The first was a significant local story: Emo’s Austin is being displaced from its East Riverside location after an LA-based company took over the venue’s lease, with shows running through year’s end and the brand signaling a return to downtown Austin. The second was a viral Florida story about a shirtless, kilt-wearing man who proved he really was an electrician by cutting power to the Taco Bell that called him a meth head — which the hosts found both hilarious and oddly inspirational, with Trevin threatening to do the same to demand the return of the volcano menu.
The show closed on a loose, warm note, with the hosts celebrating that the studio AC had finally been fixed after a sweltering morning, joking about Trevin’s Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville Crocs and a “shooey” of Nathan’s hot dog water he took on Instagram, and Sawyer’s “resting chimp face” finally cracking into a smile. Social handles were exchanged, Trevin teased a piece he wrote about his Blink-182 cassette tape, and both hosts signed off with genuine camaraderie after what had been, by all accounts, a characteristically chaotic morning.
