Restaurant or Food Recommendations

• [00:08:47] Trevin recommended SH Donuts as the best donuts in all of Austin, describing it as a small family shop he’s been loyal to for years. He said the parking lot situation has gotten difficult due to a nearby coffee shop but still endorses it strongly.

Summary

This opening segment of the June 5, 2026 edition of Trevin & Sawyer In The Morning kicks off with both hosts in a comedic but genuinely agitated mood, driven largely by the studio being without air conditioning for a fourth consecutive day. Trevin reveals he spent the morning sabotaging other parts of the building by cranking their AC up, declares he plans to get drunk before the show ends, and threatens to give away tickets the show doesn’t even have. The banter is sharp and energetic, with a running undercurrent of frustration toward station management — particularly the irony of advertising multiple AC companies while the studio bakes.

The sports segment brings some genuine enthusiasm, with Sawyer (as the Morning X Sports voice) leading the celebration of the Texas Longhorns Women’s Softball team winning their second straight national championship over Texas Tech. Trevin is clearly proud and gives specific credit to pitcher Tegan Kavan and slugger Mia Stewart, calling them future all-time UT greats. The Texas Tech dig — “Texas Tech can spend all the money in the world, but they can’t beat that longhorned heart” — lands as a highlight of the segment.

The show then pivots to National Donut Day with an extended and increasingly absurd “F, Marry, Kill” riff on donut types, including Trevin’s endorsement of SH Donuts as Austin’s best, before transitioning to a brief news segment about Seattle’s proposed data center ban. Trevin and Sawyer both react favorably to the moratorium and use the Amazon spending-versus-layoffs contrast as a springboard for some sharp commentary on AI and corporate priorities. The segment ends with Sawyer beginning to set up a back-to-school-themed bit as the transcript cuts off.

Summary

This portion of the show opened with Sawyer’s “Dad Rock Class of 2026” bit, a comedic recurring segment in which he ceremonially inducted a slate of 90s bands — Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer, The Offspring, and Incubus — into the pantheon of dad rock, using the milestone that Blink-182’s 1999 live album is now older than the band members were when they recorded it. The bit included sharp one-liners about Rivers Cuomo’s glasses, Dave Grohl’s scandals, and Dexter Holland delivering a USC commencement speech as the ultimate dad rock credential. Listeners were invited to call in with their own nominations, with the prize potentially being tickets to see Weezer or Muse.

The show then moved through a sports segment covering the Carolina Hurricanes’ dramatic Game 2 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, with Seth Jarvis as the hero, and a quick note on the Spurs’ Game 2 that evening — leading to a riff on Minute Maid Park’s rebranding to Daikin Park. A wide-ranging conversation followed on things that were cool before they blew up, touching on Austin’s Commons Ford Park, disc golf, food trucks, and sneakers, with Trevin’s food truck-as-rescue-dog analogy landing as one of the funnier unscripted moments of the segment. The Pokémon card debate became a genuine point of contention, with Trevin refusing to accept the value of a “fake rat” card while Sawyer defended the fandom.

The back half of the segment covered local news — Lockhart ISD’s “Childhood Unlocked” program reducing screen time and increasing outdoor play — which the hosts immediately twisted into an extended BBQ bit about kids smoking brisket and chopping apple wood. The Jared Leto discussion that followed was equally entertaining, with Trevin recounting a personal run-in at Lollapalooza involving mistaken sunglasses theft, and both hosts expressing exasperation at Leto’s on-set antics for the upcoming Masters of the Universe film. The segment closed on a high note with a quick but enthusiastic celebration of the Texas Longhorns softball team winning back-to-back national championships.

Three-Paragraph Summary

The final portion of the June 5, 2026 broadcast opened with a quick sports roundup, including a shoutout to someone named Teagan Kavon and excitement about a potential three-peat, followed by news that the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Las Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime. The hosts also previewed NBA Finals Game 2, with the San Antonio Spurs looking to even things up before heading to New York. From there, the conversation shifted to pop culture, with a comedic takedown of the Madden 27 trailer featuring Vince Vaughn — both hosts agreed it wouldn’t be worth the $70 price tag.

Music was a major focus of the closing stretch, with the hosts enthusiastically running through Friday new release highlights: Death Cab for Cutie’s *I Built You a Tower*, Converge’s *Hum of Heart* (their second album of 2026), Vince Staples’ *Cry Baby*, and new records from Modest Mouse, Lizzo, and Of Montreal. The hosts also ran through a solid lineup of Austin weekend events, including Wolf Mother’s 20th anniversary show at Emo’s (earning the instant nickname “Wolf Grandmother”), Monster Jam at the Moody Center, Texas Baseball Super Regionals at DISCH-Falk Field, and Metric with Broken Social Scene and Stars at the Moody Amphitheater on Monday. A Chipotle free burrito promotion tied to the NBA Finals was also mentioned, though Trevin’s computer struggles with an ad blocker made the delivery chaotic and comedic.

The show closed on a loose, meandering note with a conversation about which bands have graduated into “dad rock” status — naming Weezer, Blink-182, Korn, and Linkin Park, with The Strokes and Interpol floated as future candidates. Personal anecdotes followed, including Trevin’s famously cruel breakup-era dig at a friend over his Interpol listening habits and Sawyer’s disastrous Interpol interview. With a staff meeting looming and the AC already in Trevin’s crosshairs, the show wrapped without a formal sign-off — just a casual *”Have a great weekend”* to close out the week.
