The hosts sit across from each other in the cozy studio, lights warm against the foam-padded walls. Guillermo leans into the mic first, mock-serious, talking about being “thirty-two and a half,” and Austin immediately calls him out for the half. Their guest, John Diaz, laughs so hard he nearly knocks over his water, and the moment spirals into playful chaos. Hands move, eyebrows lift, someone gestures toward the invisible calendar in mid-air as if that half-year truly needs defending.
The conversation turns into an unexpected debate about childhood rituals — half-birthdays, classroom cupcakes, the unfairness of school schedules. Guillermo explains his May celebration like it’s a sacred tradition; Austin teases him like he’s five; John sides with him just to stir things up. Everyone’s talking at once, voices layered with overlapping laughter, that rhythm only long-time friends on a podcast can find.
By the end, the clip feels like a quick snapshot of their chemistry — all inside jokes, tiny arguments, and real nostalgia hiding underneath the comedy. The mics pick up every chuckle, every mock-groan about November birthdays and “too much going on” after Halloween. It’s less a conversation about dates than a small, perfect example of Tournament Style’s tone: loose, funny, and weirdly heartfelt about the silliest things.
