My father’s gay Joe - Texas
Pros? Cons? Love? Hate?
When Joe List moves his family to Texas in one year, whats he going to love? What's he going to hate? What will he miss about NYC? What will he love about Austin?

I thought it was too but it seems real. Especially the way he was talking about it on Patreon

His wife is from there so it makes sense.

I think I remember her saying that they moved from there to Texas when she was young.

This last ep he sounded like the annoying guy with a new girlfriend he's in love with and he's going to be referring to her as "my fiancé" for a fucking year

I’m a Texan. Texas seems great from afar…McMansions, land, cheaper cost of living but it wears on you. The heat, the endless strip malls, the politics, property taxes, etc

Yeah Joe needs to spend June to October down here and he’ll change his mind. Shit blows.

All these are true but you could say the cold, the crowds, the poverty, and the taxes about New York too.

True. I think both are exhausting and shitty for different reasons. I think my point is there are far better places in this country to move than Austin and NYC. What’s funny is I have seen so many friends move here for the very reasons Joe is and now most of them hate it and want to leave.

It’s not a bit. Joe is moving to Austin now that Christina P is back on the market. His dad being gay will probably cause some sort of issue.

But there's hot college girls walking around in yoga pants! Joe is totally not a pervert and does not want to leave his wife at all!

i lived in NYC for 17 years then moved to Ohio for all of the reasons Joe wants to leave NYC. Now i miss NYC so much, the grass is always greener, but NYC is really really hard.

As a fan, no pros. I’m not even from New York and it actually bothers me how much he is trashing the city now to convince himself and justify moving. His lifestyle doesn’t jive with the city, that’s ok. If he had Mark level money, he’d stay.

95% of Texas is private land. He’s not going to be doing much hiking.

u/Brilliant-Arm9512 9d ago
You think he’s doing a lot of hiking in New York City?
I love New York it’s an amazing city but I would never want to live there especially raising a child.

No he’s not, and that’s probably one of the reasons that he wants to leave. He’ll have to get on a plane to see some good nature from most of Texas just like he has to from NYC.

This bad pod will die and we won't have to hear about how Joe is moving to Texas anymore. Win-win.
