San Antonio: The Nothing City of Conventions and Barbecue
from Farting Down The River · #44
Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minTim recounts his week doing shows in San Antonio, describing it as a soulless convention town full of chain restaurants, a fake river walk mall, and mediocre barbecue that he insists is overrated everywhere.
- 3:08Tim just got back from San Antonio, which he describes as a nothing place where people are detached and corporate with no real culture.
- 3:39San Antonio's economy runs on conventions—dental associations, corporate events—and a shitty man-made Riverwalk that functions as a big mall.
- 3:56A podcast fan at the show told Tim none of his friends like it because they all do their own thing, noting that podcast fans tend to be people who live alone.
- 5:00Tim's take on barbecue: it all tastes the same, like eating a Duraflame log, and he doesn't care about the tradition.
- 5:20All smoked food is trash and tastes identical everywhere—brisket, potato salad, the whole thing is the same shit no matter where you go.
