The TexTenn Podcast

"I know a guy" is how somebody else's bad work becomes your problem. Keith's helpful recommendation comes with three unusable options, a $1,000 quote, and a rush fee for work that was already late. His employee rescues the job in 20 minutes. Being helpful is getting expensive. 🤦‍♂️ The school run isn't much calmer. A kid asks her math teacher about profit and loss and gets "go sit down," so Keith...

Everybody's in charge until you need a straight answer. Keith's daughter makes the volleyball team, but finding out when she actually practices becomes its own sport. Then he realizes he scheduled baseball practice right over her games. Youth sports scheduling is chaos, and this time, Dad helped. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, Clay has 500 gallons of gasoline he can't use, a surprise $1,000 testing bill, and a...

Bad gas is expensive. Kid sports are a logistical hostage situation. Politicians somehow make both look reasonable. 😂 Keith and Clay kick things off with river dives, a near-freezing rescue mission for an RC boat, and the kind of gasoline explosion that makes a grown man check whether he still has eyebrows. Then comes the financial horror: 500 gallons of questionable fuel, a $1,000 sampling bill...

Paid status is a scam and Keith has receipts. 🔥 He dropped 500 bucks a year on the fancy card, got stranded overnight in Dallas with no bags, four people, and an American Airlines agent whose opening move was "how in the world do you think we could possibly know where your bag is?" Keith's rebuttal, that there are not in fact millions of people in that airport, so there are not millions of bags,...

Somehow, a conversation about summer vacation turns into City Hall drama, charging buffalo, questionable wildlife decisions, and a raccoon dismantling a company laptop. 😂 Keith is getting ready to drag the family through an aggressively packed Smoky Mountains itinerary, while Clay is reminded that maybe he should finally take Jamie to the Alamo—the place he's been telling her "burned down." Back...

Nothing says "we're back" like broken audio, magical South Texas heat, and a city council finding fresh ways to make everybody nervous. Keith and Clay catch up on booming lawn-mower sales, questionable water decisions, and the very specific funk of a three-hour movie at Century 16. 😂 Then the conversation swerves from sushi-induced misery and a six-month oyster recovery to Annabelle absolutely sm...

Fixing stuff used to be normal. Now a busted chainsaw can come back with a $400 repair bill, and everybody in the room suddenly starts questioning the economy, the future, and their life choices. 😂 Keith and Clay get into repair culture, the disappearing small-engine mechanic, why buying new sometimes feels cheaper than fixing old, and how a kid learning carburetors from YouTube might actually be...

Everybody speeds on Highway 37. That's not a confession, it's a survival tactic. If you're not doing 85, you're the one left in everyone's dust. 🤷‍♂️ So when a cop drops the limit, parks around the corner, and catches Keith going 50, the only real question is how fast you can find the $150 lawyer who makes it disappear before it ever touches your record. Spoiler: faster than you'd think, and way...

You know what nobody tells you about losing the internet for an entire day? You suddenly find out how much of your life is held together by a Wi-Fi signal and pure hope. 🤦‍♂️ Spectrum Gate 2026 took out everything from town to the island, and Keith and Clay are still processing the chaos: phones dead, hotspots crawling, and 25 backed-up Slack messages firing off at 4:01pm to a very confused team....

Some employees give two weeks' notice. Others go to lunch on day two and vanish forever. 😂 Keith and Clay trade workplace ghosting stories, argue over whether employment is really just a transaction, and establish one very reasonable rule: quit whenever you want, just let somebody know you're still alive. From there, the conversation spirals exactly where it should: Clay sells every mower he has...

Ever left your truck running in a parking lot just because you didn't feel like dealing with it again? Keith and Clay get it. This week on the TexTenn Podcast the guys swing from a Little League team that went from losing 16-1 to run-ruling everybody 22-4 (sorry to the catcher who was basically in tears 😅) to the great American scam of paying extra to unlock heated seats that are already in your...

The Democrat Party released its official post-election autopsy, blamed one transgender-focused campaign ad, and somehow didn't mention that they swapped candidates at the last second and expected nobody to notice. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt; yes, that Spencer Pratt...just walked into the LA mayoral race with a homeless policy plan that's more thought-out than what the city has been doing for decades...

Coaching 12-year-olds who slam $400 bats after a strikeout is a special kind of character development. Coaching 12-year-olds who slam $400 bats after a strikeout is a special kind of character development. Keith just lost 16-1 in three innings with eight errors, and his big coaching breakthrough is that nobody cried this week. Progress is progress. 🤦‍♂️ Then things get political but make it chaot...

Owning a business doesn't make you rich. It just makes everyone think you are. 😂 Meanwhile, you're staring at expenses, dealing with stress, and wondering how that story got so far from reality. The conversation jumps from business life to real life fast because there's no separation anyway. Sales fix everything… until they don't. Being slammed feels great… until it wears you out. And just when y...

There's always that one weekend that starts with something stupid like arguing over Coke vs Pepsi… and somehow ends in the ER. 😂 One minute it's strong opinions about Coke Zero supremacy and restaurant menus that try to do too much, next minute it's a homemade cheesecake disaster that turns into a full-blown redemption arc. Clay accidentally floods an entire cheesecake mid-bake (yes, actually pou...

You ever read something and go, "Wait… did that really just happen back-to-back?" Yeah. That's how this one starts. One minute it's all faith, tradition, and sincerity… next minute it's full-on chaos with zero filter. No warm-up. No transition. Just straight into "what are we doing here?" energy. From there it somehow turns into a full-blown spiral; foreign policy takes, why trying to "fix" other...

Your AI has officially lost its mind and honestly, same. Keith's Claude started demanding screenshots and proof of completion mid-workflow like some kind of silicon micromanager, and Keith's response was to cuss at it until it backed down. Spoiler: it took three rounds. 🤦‍♂️  Meanwhile, Clay is out here ordering enchiladas at 10:50am like a man of culture while Keith ordered pancakes at the best...

Why do the people in charge keep making things worse… and somehow it trickles all the way down to your chips and salsa? 🤦‍♂️ One minute you're talking about cities running out of water and businesses packing up and leaving… next thing you know your favorite restaurant quietly changes everything and expects you to just deal with it. This one goes everywhere, in the best way. Keith and Clay bounce...

You ever live somewhere that should have something figured out… and it just doesn't? Yeah? Try living on the ocean and still not being able to solve a water problem 🤦‍♂️. That's where this whole conversation goes… but not before detouring through backyard jumps, broken RC cars, and a full-blown investigation into who's been gatekeeping pool party invites 😂. What starts as petty (and very real) "...

We were promised flying cars by now… and instead we've got AI writing code, $4 diesel, and kids running 3D-printing businesses out of their bedrooms. Something about that math feels off. 🤦‍♂️ Keith and Clay bounce from futuristic tech to old-school chaos in the way only TexTenn can. One minute they're talking about AI evolving so fast it's basically coding its own upgrades. The next minute they'r...

Tariffs are confusing. Trade policy is messy. And somehow it all ends with enchiladas, Olympic curling, and RFK looking absolutely shredded at 70. Welcome to the group chat you didn't know you needed 😂 This one starts with tea refills and small-town lunch spots, then swerves straight into tariffs, Supreme Court decisions, and what happens when one policy move bumps the price of tractors, apparel,...

Some weeks start normal… then suddenly you're debating spies, celebrities, and whether anything in the news actually makes sense anymore. One minute it's Epstein conspiracy chatter, the next it's "wait… why were there cameras everywhere?" and yeah, that rabbit hole gets weird fast. 😂   The convo spirals the way real hangouts do: award-show hot takes, famous people getting sympathy while everyday...

How does a simple wardrobe mishap turn into a full-blown Super Bowl debate, parenting rant, and movie theater therapy session? That's the energy here 😂 One minute it's halftime show drama, next minute it's public etiquette, screaming kids, and cheesecake opinions nobody planned on sharing. Keith and Clay bounce between NFL culture talk, country music getting overlooked, awkward restaurant moments...

The kids are running the house. The adults are breaking equipment and trying to pretend everything is fine. 😂 It starts with a workout gadget getting wrecked and somehow turns into a negotiation with a 12-year-old over five bucks.   The conversation jumps from busted vibration plates to kids wanting to get paid for social videos 🤦‍♂️ AI starts talking like a teenager, 3D printers quietly turn in...

Why do the smallest things set us off… while the big, uncomfortable stuff barely gets a shrug? 🤦‍♂️ If you've ever felt irrationally angry over something trivial (like being handed the wrong kind of tea 😤) but completely numb to nonstop breaking news, congratulations! You're going to feel very seen. This conversation bounces between everyday frustrations, cultural absurdities, and the weird way...
